💕 Argilly

How did they meet?

I wrote a one shot about it once actually: They met at the beach around 10/11 years old, Billy was surfing and Argyle was watching him. At the time, he approached him first, but Billy dismissed him quickly because he had long hair like a girl and had an accent, the kind his dad complained about. Argyle keeps approaching him though and eventually Billy befriends him because he's lonely and they spend their entire summers together, but the rest of the year? Zilch. They go to different schools. So summer holidays are there's until Billy moves away.

Who flirted with who first?

Billy was the first to flirt, but only in a teasing, gay chicken way, probably around when they were fourteen. Argyle is so genuine in his affection for him that it doesn't come across as the usual flirting Billy is used to, so he doesn't clue into it being flirting until they're a lot older (in an AU where Billy lives and moves back to Cali). He just assumes Argyle is a sap, who considers him like a really close friends at first.

Was it love at first sight or a slowburn romance?

I think for Argyle, it was love at first sight. He was a super anxious kid, probably a middle or only child, and Billy was his first real friend. But even before that, seeing young Billy ride the waves like he owned them? He admired that confidence so much and definitely only approached because he was sporting a little of an awe induced crush. Billy on the other hand, it was very much slowburn. He hadn't had a friend like Argyle before (anxious but genuine and very willing to give affection even if it was considered 'strange' or 'queer'), if he even considered the school mates he had friends. Not seeing Argyle for months and then seeing him again was already a shocker to Billy because he assumed the kid would forget he existed and that the summer they had together was a one off. But Argyle came every summer and spent nearly every day with him until they had to part ways. Billy treasured that slice of happiness and that slowly flourished into romantic feelings as he grew up and started to realize the difference between friendship and whatever feelings he had for Argyle.

Did they start dating right away or were they friends before things became romantic?

Honestly? Friends for YEARS before they even touched romantic feelings. It took them both a while to realize their friendship wasn't friendship because they both had very few genuine friends outside each other. Billy was either standoffish or he put on a mask to make people like him. Argyle on the other hand was very socially anxious (until he started smoking) and labelled the 'weird ethnic kid' but most of his peers that weren't Hispanic. His Hispanic peers just called him 'weird', full stop for being so self conscious and avoidant of social events, usually sticking to his young primos/primas and Abuela during them to do quiet crafts. So they didn't even come to realize their feelings until they were halfway through their teens.

What was their first date?

Their first date was probably just them eating in Argyle's van (work gave it to him the moment he got his license at 16 honestly, they didn't have anyone else willing to do deliveries). They finished up at the beach for the day and Argyle asked Billy to go on a 'little date'.

"What's the difference between a big date and a little date?"

"Big dates are for anniversaries. And a fruit."

"...Dates don't have specific sizes, but okay."

"Big dates are better, man."

They ended up getting ice cream, walked around for a bit, and then Billy and him sat in his van and got high with pizza. It was a good date in Billy's books.

What are their favourite things to do on date nights?

Most of their dates consist of eating and smoking; though on occasion they have craft sessions and call it a 'little date'. It's probably their favourite kind of date because they'll just sit across from each other with a pile of beads, thread or paints and go to town making each other little gifts to wear or keep. Argyle likes to paint Billy's cassette tapes to add flare to it, and Argyle has a million bracelets because Billy finds the repetitive weaving relaxing for his own anxiety that grew up with him. They also sometimes go golfing at the junkyard when Billy is angry but wants company to vent to. Argyle is down for controlled chaos.

Do they still go on dates after being together for a while?

They don't consider dates to be big events, so just hanging out gets smacked with the title 'little date'. Big dates though? Those consist of sneaking into R rated movies and screaming at the gore, pricey ones like going to the amusement park, or when Billy gets his Camaro, drifting in abandoned parking lots as Argyle screeches at the top of his lungs and Billy cackles. They love dates and they will continue to go on them until they're too old to get out of their rocking chairs.

What is their love language?

Billy likes physical touch, acts of service and words of affirmation.

Argyle likes quality time, gift giving and acts of service.

More often than not, Billy will make sexual advances to gain physical touch, but Argyle is more into hold hands. He likes sex, sure, but holding hands is something he can do whenever he wants and he likes the way it makes Billy all sheepish and awkward yet happy.

Billy wasn't all into words of affirmation until Argyle starts pouring the compliments and encouragements on. He always liked praise, it wasn't something he got often, but hearing 'I love you, lil sol' always make his stomach swoop and his heart melt.

Billy loves acts of service because he rarely has anyone on his side, so Argyle doing little things to make his life easier always made his chest feel lighter. Argyle likes acts of service because Billy is the kind of person who will always do things for people close to him just out of habit and it makes Argyle feel good to know Billy cares enough to fix his tires instead of pop them.

Argyle loves just spending time with Billy, so quality time is big for him, even if they don't talk and just sit together in silence, stoned out of their minds. Gifts are also a big thing for him because he grew up learning that gifts (espeically handmade) had a lot of love in them and he considers Billy's gifts as his own personal 'I love you' since he's not good at saying it out loud (The words have little meaning to Billy for a long time because everyone who’s told him they love him left him anyway - but Argyle grew up in a home with lots of love so he manages to say it every now and then just to watch Argyle light up and get all ‘aw shucks’ about it).

Who kissed who first?

I can see it going either way; Billy kissing Argyle in the heat of the moment because he’s been bottling his feelings and it just spilled out - but personally I can see Argyle kissing Billy first.

It’s probably edging on the evening, sun setting, and Billy has to head home real soon. It’s the last day of summer, he’s covered in sea salt and sand, and his eyes are shinning at a joke Argyle made. It’s hesitant yet trance-like, the way he leans in, cutting the difference in height between them before he presses a soft kiss to Billy’s lips. He tastes like salt; from the sea and his own sweat, and it’s nice because he’s also warm like the sun yet chilled around the edges from the water. Billy doesn’t respond at first, but he’s had a good feeling this was coming eventually. They were both aware of their friendship being a little strange, a little queer, but summer was their honeymoon so it didn’t matter. It’s when Argyle starts to pull away, that inkling of dread and anxiety curling in his gut at the idea of ruining whatever this happy middle was, that Billy follows and kisses him back. It’s nothing big, but it’s soft and Billy can taste the sweetness from Argyle’s fruit salad earlier; overloaded with pineapple because the guys loves the sweet tang of it. Spouts off about how it ‘eats you back, like the circle of life’. Neither of them talk about it, but they smile at each other, they part ways, and they’re counting down the days until summer comes back around. It’s an agonizing wait and is cut short when Billy sees Argyle behind the counter at Surfer Boy Pizza, the one between their houses apparently.

Who started the relationship?

Argyle is the one who asks the question. Shortly after Billy keeps frequenting his shop, he puts a bunch of pineapple on Billy’s pizza to spell out ‘WANNA BE BOYFRIENDS?’ Unfortunately the pineapple pieces get knocked around in the box when Billy picked it up so it spells closer to ‘VOVVA DL BOVRINCS’ with a backwards ‘c’...Billy asks what the fuck was up with his order because he didn’t even order pineapples and Argyle just blurts out he wants to date him. Billy rolls his eyes, walks away, but when he brings the empty box back, he used the pineapple he didn’t eat to spell ‘YES...DIPSHIT’.

Monogamy or Polyamory?

Argyle is more open to Polyamory than Billy because he’s all about ‘free love’ and big families. Billy fears Argyle would leave him for someone better, so he’d against it for a long time and it causes arguments when Argyle even breaches the topic because Billy always assumes Argyle already has someone in mind to cheat on him with. A few years down the road though, they have a lot of deep talks about it and they both find themselves enjoying the idea of having partners outside each other, even if they intend to legally marry each other the moment it becomes viable because they were each others first love and promised that to each other. (They hand fasts/marry their other partners down the road but it’s not legally bidding, just to share that memory together).

Are they/do they plan on getting married?

Billy doesn’t think marriage is all that important, especially since it’s illegal for them and it’s never led to anything good in his life, so why bother? But Argyle really wants to have a whole ceremony, even if it’s not recognized by law or church, because he always grew up hearing about his parents wedding day and how his father cried because he felt like the luckiest man alive.

Who proposed? Was it a yes or no?

When Argyle sees Billy in Hawkins after driving the Cali crew all the way there, Argyle pretty much proposes on the spot with a cool mushroom he found and Billy strangely enough, agrees despite his old disdain from marriage. Maybe because he almost died last year, his sister is in hospital, alive but scarred, and he’s high on emotion from seeing his boyfriend who he had left suddenly without a proper goodbye. They have a long engagement, and they make each other a ring by hand - Argyles is made of resin and filled with ripped petals and forest moss, and Billy makes his own of steel with a oceanic crystal center. It should be swapped, but they like carrying a piece of each other with them.

Do they want kids? Who brought it up first?

Argyle always wanted a big family, so he brings it up first. Billy is hesitant at first, but with enough coaxing, they consider adoption. Funnily enough, Argyle becomes an art teacher and Billy becomes a surfing instructor and they end up emotionally adopting a bunch of kids because they even get around to adopting a young girl (by that time, they’ve began dating other people quite seriously and most of them also want kids so it becomes a big discussion between the stonercule).

Do they already have kids, together or from previous relationships?

No.

Do they have any routines/rituals in their relationship?

Once a fortnight, they have a date night. First date of the month is Billy’s choice, second is Argyles. They still call their dates ‘little dates’ and save ‘big dates’ for anniversaries as Argyle said years prior. They also take care of their hair together every night - Billy takes care of his curls and Argyles keeps his hair silky. They roll and braid each others hair every night and its the perfect way to send them off to bed. Whenever Argyle is upset with Billy, he tends to give him the silent treatment. Billy will get a bunch of pineapple, slice it up, put it in a bowl and grab a plate and then proceed to spell questions out since Argyle doesn’t want to talk. They will go back and forth until their issue is solved and their both snickering because Argyle ate most of the pineapple in the bowl meant for their conversation while they were talking.

How do they take care of each other when they are sick/hurt?

Billy is an absolute baby with Argyle when he’s sick. Man cold is real for him. He’ll bitch and moan and cough all dramatic until he has his head in Argyle’s lap or he’s being spoon fed soup. Argyle on the other hand will cough once and go ‘aw man, I hope I’m not sick’ and then sleep for like three days - which by the end of he’s perfect okay. Billy hates him for it, but he’ll always leave snacks and water by the bed while Argyle snoozes and make sure he has enough blankets. He’ll braid Argyles hair back too if he fell asleep with it out.

How do they like to spend time together?

They both like working with their hands so it’ll be arts and crafts galore, pottery and woodwork classes, splash and finger painting, Billy working on the van or Camaro while Argyle sits by him on a skateboard, sliding back and forth with a lemonade and shades. They surf together a lot in the warmer seasons too. They like hanging out, chatting idly because first and foremost they are friends.

What are their favourite non-sexual forms of intimacy?

Hand/pinkie holding and forehead/shoulder kisses <3 Snuggling is a huge thing for them, they love falling asleep together.

What are some of their favourite things about their partner?

Argyle loves Billy’s happiness; bright and sunny. Billy loves Argyles out of box thinking. They can talk for hours about nothing and everything. Overall, they love the way they make each other feel, the inherent affection and feeling of safety they have with each other because they understand each other and grew up relearning each other again and again every summer because of nine months between every visit.

How do they comfort the other when they are upset?

When Billy gets upset, he needs softness. He needs someone who won’t shout back and provoke his anger. He needs someone who will snip his shit in the butt. Argyle does that. He rarely raises his voice in anger, only panic. He lets Billy isolate himself for a little bit before he goes to find him and sit beside him wherever he’s curled up into himself. He holds him and rubs his back and lets Billy cry because he hates being like that with Argyle, shouting and getting mean, but its so hard to accept sadness or conflict without anger and violence. He never lays a hand on Argyle, but he feels awful every time he says something he doesn’t mean, something that could prick Argyles soft heart and fester something sour inside it for him, something that could make him truly angry and leave for good.

Argyle only really gets upset when he’s anxious or panicking and he feels Billy isn’t taking him seriously. Usually, Billy can get away with soothing Argyles worry by talking softly, holding his hand, caressing the shake from his hands and wiping the tears from his eyes. Argyles a soft hearted giant and Billy knows that. He will always let the bigger man curl up against his chest and just regulate his breathing until it matches his. There’s only been a few instances where Argyle gets really frustrated (he’s almost never mad - he hasn’t got it in him to be angry at anything) and usually he just gives the silent treatment until Billy apologies.

Who buys the other spontaneous gifts?

They both do: Argyle usually surprises him with handmade gifts or big brand clothing, but sometimes Billy will come home with a new crystals or incense/candles for Argyle burn around the house to help ‘calm his haywire vibes’ when he’s not high.

What position do they sleep in?

Billy is a curled up on his side kind of guy or an on his back, arm over the stomach, one out kind of guy, depending on the day. Argyle is pretty adaptable. If Billy is fetus? He curls around him and wraps him up in warmth and safety. If he’s splayed out, he’s rest his head on his arm and snuggles up to his chest even though he’s a good head taller than him.

Do they bathe/shower together?

Definitely. They even get a house with a big bath just so they could fit in together, Billy leaning back on Argyle as they ignore the warm water and bubbles. Sometimes Billy will spend their whole bath time just massaging shampoo and conditioner into Argyles long hair, into his scalp. Argyle is putty in his hands when he does, and he always gets what he wants if he asks for something after massaging his lover.

Do they do anything else in the bath/shower other than wash?

Billy likes to blow him under the water, to test how long he can hold his breath. Argyle likes to smoke. Sometimes Billy reads to him while he smokes. More than once they’ve split half the bath water onto the floor and drenched a joint because the couple decided to get it on in the tub.

In the bedroom - Vanilla, a little spice, or kinky af?

Typically vanilla, but with a little spice on occasion. There’s been a few cases of Billy being a brat with Argyle and the other using his height to his advantage to hoist the blond up and fuck him on the nearest available surface of their house or in the back of his van. (Argyles a soft/pleasure dom at best, but Billy doesn’t mind. He likes that Argyle is gentle with him, no matter what. Not a lot of people have been, when given the opportunity to be).

For applicable ships - who tops/bottoms?

Argyle tops, Billy bottoms. On occasion they switch, but I feel like Argyle is too lazy to deal with prepping himself, though he’s happy to spend an hour fingering Billy until he’s crying and begging him to fuck him.

For applicable ships - who is more dominant/submissive?

Billy is definitely a switch, but he prefers to bottom overall. Argyle is a switch, but only because he likes sex with Billy and has little preference to be in either role. He prefers to focus on Billy’s gratification, so he ends up taking on a more dominant role majority of the time, but he’s happy to be Billy’s living toy when the blond wants to ride him until he can’t get it up anymore.

What is their favourite sex position?

Lotus - they love being close to each other, kissing when they fuck. Billy likes sitting on Argyle’s lap and wrapping his arms around him as they rock together. It’s slow and intense, and it’s not what he’s used to with others who usually wanted it hard and fast (which he wasn’t against but it was different emotionally).

Do either of them enjoy bringing sex toys into the bedroom?

Argyle loooooves sex toys. He thinks they’re a gift to gods green earth. Billy agrees, only because he’s been stuffed and teased with them so much that he could contribute at least half of his most intense orgasms to them.

Favourite place to have sex?

When they’re teens? Argyles van. When they move in together? Their bed because it’s theirs, and that means a lot to both of them. Plus, it’s comfy as fuck and they both like a little luxury as they get older.

Most adventurous place they’ve had sex?

Movie theater. It wasn’t all the way, but it was knee buckling when Argyle pulled him into his lap during an intense sex scene and started kneading his dick until he was fully hard and leaking. Billy had to muffle himself and pray no one saw them, but he stained his jeans and got revenge by grinding his ass into Argyle until they were both fucked to walk out of the movie and had to sneak out like when they sneaked in lol

How often do they fight? What about?

They don’t have a lot of serious fights, and their fights resolve fairly quickly. It’s usually to do with one of their insecurities, but more often they’re fighting about if ladybugs are all ladies or if society’s concept of gender is just non applicable to anything that’s not human.

Have they ever broken up?

They unofficially broke up when Billy left - Billy couldn’t bring himself to tell Argyle because they had only been together less than a year and felt like it was doomed to end like this anyway because Billy’s life was a shit hole anyway and he didn’t deserve Argyle or a boyfriend, period. So he just vanished from Argyles life one day, their house stamped with a ‘for sale’ sign. Argyle always hoped they’d see each other again, got close with Jonathan when he moved to California. Billy fooled around with people in Hawkins but never dated because his heart belonged to Argyle and he missed him more often than not even if he refused to send him a letter in case his dad saw Argyles return message. He doesn’t see him again until the end of Season 4.

Messy breakup, amicable split, remain friends, ride or die or til death do us part?

I feel like Billy would try to make it messy so he’d have a reason to not feel so heartbroken if they did break up, but it would be closer to Argyle saying its okay for them to take different paths and just be friends. They would try to be friends for a while, grow distant and apart because they’re both hurting, and eventually rekindle their previous friendship later in life after they found new partners.

But personally, I can’t see them breaking up. They’ve been together since they were 10/11 and they would continue to be together until they were old and gray, even if they opened their relationship up to others as well. They’re til death do us part, friends forever and lovers for life <3

The Diner

Part 2

Eddie Munson x Reader series

An: I’m not too sure where I want this series to go as an actual ‘series’ Im just letting what happens happen, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated lol

Also this part has been written for a while but I’ve been an extremely busy bee 🐝 and I’ve been desperate to just get this posted for you guys so if there’s any spelling errors etc. I apologise :)

Walking into the diner at 7:45pm the following night, you had a nice bounce in your step. Not only happy to be earning money, but happy to be out of the motel and have something to do with your time.

Hair up in a clean ponytail, clad in your baggy dungarees and old comfy, worn in trainers. "Hello honey, ready for tonight?" Patty gave you a warm welcome when you walked through the door.

"Of course!" She handed you an apron similar to hers, that you tied around your waist. "Ok and here's a notebook to take orders, coffee station is over here-"

She continued on walking around and showing you were everything was and how to check out customers properly.

"Now it's just going to be you and the chef tonight, it will probably be very quiet as it's so late. But anything you need just give me a call, I've written down my telephone number for you. Is that all alright sweets?" You nodded eagerly and smiled back in response.

The evening went on slowly with not too many people coming and going, most of them only making a pit stop or sitting after working their own late shifts and just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee.

Wilst wiping one of the tables you heard the bell above the door ring, with someone walking in and sitting on a stool at the counter.

You thought they could have been a girl from the back because of their dark long hair, but as you walked around the corner to greet them and take their order you realised it was a guy about you're age.

"Are you new?" He spoke softy his eyes getting slightly brighter as he looked at you. "Yeah just started this evening! Can I get you anything?" He looked at you deep in thought for a moment his big brown eyes analysing you.

Not really knowing what to say, you just stood there staring back confused. He really did have the prettiest eyes. His head resting on his knuckles, he tiredly spoke "coffee, however it comes." You gave him a closed mouth smile, getting straight to work making it. "Sure coming right up!"

You could feel those pretty eyes following your every move as you made it, maybe he just wants to make sure you're doing it how he likes it?

Once you'd finished it you placed it in front to him, noticing him adding lots of sweet 'n low. You busied yourself by keeping everything tidy, he stayed there for most of the evening, getting refills and just sitting lost in his own mind. But every now and then you felt his stare.

By the time you were ready to start closing up, he thanked you for the coffee and left cash on the counter, walking out into the darkness and up the street. You went over to put the cash in the til, he left way more money than he needed to and besides it was a note. Scribbled on a napkin that said "best coffee around, thank you :)" making you smile as the silly little smiley face he drew, greatful for the extra cash he left as a tip. What a strange sweet guy.

Working at the diner proved to be very tiring, but it was so worth it, working in the evenings suited you nicely not being much of a morning person. You had saved up a lot of your wages and tips.

Although not a lot, it was still enough to give you hopes towards maybe buying a trailer from the trailer park not far from town. And even if it's not exactly a 2 bedroom house, it would be nice to have somewhere to call home.

You didn't see the strange man from that one evening at the diner, and in a strange way you almost missed him just quietly sitting there whilst you went about your business, oddly keeping you company even though no words were really exchanged between the two of you.

Friends we're still a bit of a problem, mostly keeping to yourself during the day, not really leaving the motel unless you had to. And nights at the diner kept most of your interactions with other people short and sweet.

But other than occasionally helping Patty run errands and occasionally having dinner with her and her husband. You had briefly become close with a girl called Robin who worked at the video rental store, you frequented for those boring afternoons on your own. There was also a guy called Steve there who seems nice enough but he always seemed too busy flirting with groups of girls that came in, so safe to say you hadn't spoken to him much.

You often thought about re enrolling into school at Hawkins high after the summer ended, but didn't really see the point as you had a job anyway. Past the point of caring for all the trivial drama of high school students. You learned quickly that life has bigger fish to fry.

Tonight was an extra slow night at the diner so you decided to have a 'deep clean' of the cupboards to stop yourself from wanting to fall asleep. The only other person here was an older man keeping to himself reading all of todays newspapers.

The chef was as asleep sat in the kitchen as most people don't want a whole meal at 11:30pm. Although it did sound good after a long shift to you.

The bell went as the door opened, you stayed sat on the floor as you hurried to put everything back under the counter "are you hiding so you don't have to serve me coffee?" You heard a laugh from above.

You snapped your head up to see those beautiful puppy dog eyes, shining with amusement looking right at you.

He was hanging over the back of the counter, resting on his arms with his long wavy hair dancing over his face. "Oh no! I was just cleaning!" You spoke with a smile plastered on your face as you jumped up again.

He stayed where he was, with a very energetic look on his face. "Coffee?" You asked wiping your hands on your apron. "Since you're offering" he leaned back onto a stool drumming his hands onto the counter. playing a makeshift tune.

You huffed out a short laugh at his response. "You haven't been back in a while I didn't get a chance to thank you for the tip you left me." You spoke over your shoulder

"what tip? That was for the all the coffee?" This made you turn your head sharply to look at him "ohh.. I..I thought that-"

"Only teasing." He winked at you, making a small part of you swoon but more so sigh in relief, putting a hand on you heart at the thought of accidentally stealing money from the diner. "Don't do that I thought I was going to lose my job!" You laughed returning back to the coffee.

"so you been busy?" He lent forward resting his head in his heavily ringed fingers. "Hah. Clearly." You looked around the diner, both you and the boys eyes landing on the old guy with the newspapers, who was now snoring away with his head down. "Yeah very lively. Bet you're happy I'm here so you have someone to talk to!"

You shrugged your shoulders as you placed the mug in front of him. "I don't mind, I'm not much of a people person." You quietly spoke watching him put an another absurd amount of sweet 'n low into his coffee.

He must have a super sweet tooth. Eyes flicked up to meet yours "no? Well me neither. I mean I like people, people don't like me." He stated.

"why's that?" He seemed like a nice enough guy, clearly a metal head. But that meant nothing to you. "I don't know people think I'm a freak." He took a sip of his coffee.

"I don't think your a freak."

He went silent for a minute then laughed out playing with his hair, causing you to feel perplexed. "You don't know me well enough." "Well you never come in." You fired back smiling, making him grin back at you. "That's true I guess!" You laughed turning to return to tidying.

He seems nice enough so it is a shame that he doesn't come in the diner a lot. It's nice to have someone to keep you awake through the long evening.

"I've never seen you around though."

You looked at him once more as he eyed you up and down. You wonder what he's trying to see, he always seems to look at you like he's trying to figure something out.

"I only really go out if I have to. I've not been in Hawkins too long in all honesty, I moved here on my own." He held out his mug in a silent request for a refill which you obliged.

"On your own? you seem like you're the same age as me? Aren't you at school? Why'd you mover here?"

Amused by his interest and quick fire questions, all you can think to say is "it's a long story I won't bore you with, but I dropped out on my last year, didn't really see the point in re enrolling just for a silly certificate."

He spoke a quick "fair enough." With that same sparkle in his eye. "You're a very mysterious girl." He almost whispered making you pull a face "me? Definitely not!"

His fingers were working overtime picking and ripping apart a napkin as he looked deeply at you with that stupid grin on his face. "I think you're more interesting than you think you are."

You didn't know what to say to this so you just gave him a shy smile and turned to carry on getting ready to close the diner, why does your face feel hot?

The evening continued like this, with blissful banter and comfortable silences. By the time we went to leave he had tried to give you another tip which you politely declined much to his disappointment. "I'm just appreciative for the company." You spoke making him huff but accept that you wouldn't take his money. You both said your goodbyes and watched him walk out once more.

Walking towards the door to flip the sign to say 'closed' he came running back in, setting off your fight or flight reflex.

"God you scared the shit out of me!" He muttered a sheepish apology followed by him sticking out his hand towards you. "Eddie."

You smiled, reaching out to shake his hand. It swallowed your hand as he firmly gripped onto yours, his chunky rings cold against your hand in contrast to his very warm skin. "Y/n."

> although i do write about the others i listed, i am mainly focused around bts so i apologise if i’m not as diverse as i said lol

> i’m also offline almost 99% of the time, so i’m sorry if my updates aren’t very consistant!

> please don’t comment asking for ‘part two’s�� or such because most of my works (or at least many that i have in mind) are most one-shot based— just very long. if i feel motivated enough and i feel that the plot could progress, i will at a part two!

thank you for taking the time to read my intro post! i know it’s long overdue but i thought while i’m updating my new book (wink wink) i might just introduce myself while i’m at it!

thank you for all your support on my first work, it means a lot! i’ll continue to work hard and create great plot lines for you all 🫂

until next time!

Dating Mexican Reader

Headcanon

Characters: Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, Kirishima, Aizawa, Shigaraki, Dabi

Warnings: minor swearing, minor nsfw (it’s extremely brief, you’ll see it if you squint)

Requested by: @peachyhonxeey Thank you for your request! :)

A/N: I’m so sorry, I took so long to post this! 😭 But I hope you all like it! I will admit, my knowledge on Mexican culture is limited...so I asked a few friends more knowledgeable in that area for some help! So, if there are any spelling/pronunciation/translation errors, I apologise in advance! But, I hope you guys enjoy reading this! I will definitely be going back in and doing some much needed revising though lol and then maybe a part 2!

Midoriya

Shy when it comes to dating outside of his race, but claims he’s the luckiest person in the world once he’s with you.

ALWAYS asking questions about your family, culture, and even the language.

Writes down all of your answers.

Actually enrolled himself in a Spanish class so he could surprise you with what he’s been learning.

If Japanese isn't your first language, he will offer to help you with your Japanese.

The two of you end up spending hours just teaching each other phrase in your native languages.

During times like these, this boy is so madly in love with you, just observing the way you are, the way you’re just existing.

Wants to meet your family and will even ask how he can please your family members.

Listens to you in awe when you converse with your family in your native language.

Will try and repeat some of the words/phrases he hears you use to himself.

Once you’re done talking to your family, he’ll ask you how to pronounce a word he heard you say or what a phrase means.

Will ask you about how Japanese culture is different from your own culture.

When it comes to PDA, Izuku is EXTREMELY shy and gets flustered so easily.

He’s shock when he finds out that you’re culture is significantly different than Japanese culture.

Especially when it comes to PDA.

In public, as far as the two of you go are hugs, hand holding and cheek kisses.

Most times you initiate it, but after a while, he begins initiating it on his own.

He’s always sending you recipes he comes across and asks if you two could make it together on the weekend.

You’ll have conversations concerning your own experiences with racial discrimination.

Will almost always start crying.

Hugs you tight and reassures you that you and everything about you is beautiful.

Bakugo

He is so fascinated by you and your culture, but he won’t ever say it aloud.

You’ll see his fascination through little things:

Started eating Mexican food, even when the two of you were just friends to understand you a bit more.

Even learning words, phrases, and slang words in Spanish when he could.

He absolutely loves it when you switch to speaking your native tongue.

Especially when you guys get into an argument, he’s left speechless because you’ll curse at him in Spanish but he has NO idea all of what you’re saying.

“Excuse me? ¡Siempre haces esto! Te voy a romper la cara con mis puñetazos. No me jodas. Ugh! Vete a la mierda, pendejo. Eres tan jodidamente molesto.”

“W-what...what the hell did you just say to me?!”

You can honestly out argue him.

Will almost always lose the argument because he wouldn’t know how to reply.

Honestly would think it’s really hot and badass that you switch languages when you’re upset.

Usually won’t be the first to apologise directly, but after giving you space to calm down, he usually starts by calling you ‘Mi Amor’ or ‘Princesa’.

His pronunciation is actually so on point.

He’ll act as though he’s indifferent but he LOVES Mexican food.

On RARE occasions, he will even attempt to make a simple Mexican recipe to impress you.

He’s actually so good at cooking and when you praise him, he’ll say:

“Tch. Don’t make a big deal about it; it wasn’t that hard.”

Was actually hella nervous that he would do it wrong and you wouldn't like it.

Blushes HARD, but will pretend like its nothing when you praise his cooking.

During late night talks, usually with you laying on top of him, his arms wrapped around you and he’ll ask you if you feel comfortable in Japan.

Then will eventually ask if you’re comfortable with him.

Todoroki

Is 100% nervous to date outside of his race, or anyone for that matter.

So, once the two of you start dating, he is very attentive and takes the relationship seriously.

Very traditional when it comes to dating, but at the same time extremely shy.

Especially when it comes to PDA.

If we’re being honest, he’s really awkward when it comes to being around you, so it’s hard for him to express affection and his emotions directly.

So majority of the time, you’re instigating hand holding, hugs, and eventually kissing a lot of the time.

Expresses his love and affection for you through other ways.

He will take so much of his time reading about Mexican culture, the languages, and will even learn your native language to converse with you at times.

Constantly asking you random and unexpected questions about yourself and background.

Most of the time, he won’t give an explanation or context for the question.

Over time, he becomes more comfortable with affection and will start making the first move, such as: cheek and hand kissing and hugs.

When he’s around his friends, he usually sticks to hugging because this boy is honestly so awkward.

Whenever the two of you are in public, he prefers to always be holding your hand.

Some times he’ll have two of his fingers wrapped around yours.

He finds it so interesting when you speak in your native language whether you’re talking to family/friends or talking to yourself.

When you guys have an argument, it definitely would be over something serious.

Todoroki tries to remain calm whenever the two of you do fight, which usually resolves the argument as quick as it started.

But on rare occasions, during an argument he’s caught off guard when you switch to your native language when you’re upset/frustrated.

He’ll understand even more that when you switch to your native tongue, you’re extremely upset about whatever the two of you are arguing about.

Even then, he usually doesn’t argue back and will let you get out all of your feelings until you’ve calmed down.

If he thinks the two of you need some space, he’ll leave for an hour or so and then come back so the two of you can talk.

Regardless of whoever started the argument, he’s almost always the first to apologize, which usually results in the both of you apologizing at the same time.

Kirishima

In all honesty, the two of you just clicked instantly.

Picks up on your native language incredibly fast.

The two of you can hold entire conversations in Spanish.

Confuses the others because they have no idea what you’re talking about.

As if Kirishima wasn’t already romantic enough, once he starts learning more about your culture, his art in the romantics sky rocket.

Like this boy will tell you pick up lines in Spanish with a smirk on his face in front of your friends.

Will even ask if you can teach him any Mexican dances that you know.

When/if you do, he won’t stop practicing that dance(s) and he gets INTO it, emotions and all.

But honestly, the two of you are always dancing, especially when you’re alone together.

Kirishima doesn’t care about what others think, so therefore, he has no problem showing you off in public.

He will almost always initiate PDA and it doesn’t even bother him if other people think it’s weird.

Your family absolutely loves him, he honestly fits right in quite well when he meets your family.

Has at least a question every day about your culture and/or family.

Aizawa (slight NSFW towards the end)

Same with Kirishima, he has no problem showing you off.

LOVES listening to you speak in your native tongue.

But also loves hearing you talk about your culture and family.

Though he’s very educated on Mexican culture, he also learns alot from you--more intimate and personal details.

Aizawa knows a good amount of Spanish, but is kind of shy when it comes to responding back in Spanish because he’s self conscious when it comes to pronunciation.

His pronunciation is actually really good, but he doesn’t seem to think so.

You lowkey love when he speaks in your native language.

At times, when you ask him a question in Spanish, he will answer in Japanese and/or English.

Whenever you guys argue, you tend to switch back to your native tongue especially when you’re angry/upset.

He actually knows exactly what you’re saying, but usually won’t say anything.

Wants to let you scream out your anger/frustration as effectively as you can.

BUT NOW HEAR ME OUT, Aizawa WILL speak Spanish but only on rare occasions, like really rare.

Happens mostly on late nights when the two of you are cuddling that he’ll call you Mi Amor while holding you in his arms.

The other times he speaks Spanish to you are the nights when you two are doing the deed, he will whisper dirty things in your ear because he knows that it will turn you on instantly.

His deep voice + Spanish = ⚰️

He’s extremely protective of you.

Whenever the two of you are out in public, tends to hold you close to him by your waist.

Shigaraki

He may act like he’s all big and bad, but he becomes so shy whenever the two of you are alone.

Though you’re immune to his quirk, he’s always scared that one day he’ll touch you and you’re going to decay in his hands.

Because he’s always thinking that, you’re the one to take his hand and remind him that you’re not going anywhere

When you’re around the other League members and he’s acting out, you’ll put that boy back in line.

You’re honestly the only person that can keep him calm the most effectively.

Kurogiri is so lucky to have you, because he knows Shigaraki will listen to you.

Becomes a huge softie when you speak in your native tongue around him

Very interested in your culture and background.

He’s extremely shy when it comes to him asking you questions about your culture.

If he feels too embarrassed to ask you a question, he’ll spend a good amount of time researching the topic and he will inform you in hopes of impressing you.

Loves to see the happy look on your face when he tells you what he’s learned.

He may be a soft, pouty baby when it comes to you, but if anyone even dares to disrespect you, he will dust them in a second.

Will occasionally ask if you’re comfortable being with him or if you’d rather be at home.

He’d become flustered asf when you tell him that he is your home.

Spends hours cuddling and talking about everything and nothing.

Okay okay okay, one night he will ask you if you can give him a nickname in Spanish.

When he asks you that, he’s blushing like CRAZY.

Dabi (slight NSFW)

Okay, if we’re being honest, he honestly was the one to make the first move when he saw you.

Jokingly says dating you was a bad idea, but doesn’t regret meeting you at all .

Dabi won’t ever admit it, but he is SO in love with you, even if he tells you you’re a pain in the ass.

Whenever he gets an attitude, you have no problem reminding him of his place.

“What are you gonna do? Kick my ass? Doll, I’m not scared of you.”

“I don’t know who the fuck you think you talking to, but it ain’t me. So, you better watch yourself before I knock you out into next week.”

He’s almost always caught off guard with how fast you snap back.

When the two of you argue, he tends to lose the argument because at some point when your anger/annoyance heightens, you’ll start swearing at him in Spanish.

He’ll just stand there smirking at you while you’re just full of frustration.

Finds it so hot when you switch back to your native language.

Asks you so many times to speak in Spanish to him.

Knows a generous amount of phrases and words native to your culture.

Okay, I will tell you, it turns him on so much if you talk dirty to him in Spanish--it’s definitely one of his weaknesses.

Has no problem asking you questions about your culture.

Loves hearing you talk about your stories about your home, background and even family.

Though he’s a little rough around the edges, Dabi is EXTREMELY protective and especially observant when it comes to you.

Whenever the two of you are in public, he always has his arm around your shoulders or waist.

Dabi doesn’t care too much for PDA, but if he notices someone staring at you, he’ll glare at the person before kissing your lips then your down your neck.

How long did it take you to become this well of a writer? Do you have any tips or suggestions? I want to make my writing more exciting and vibrant like yours is. I feel like it's not as good as yours and I want it to be the best it can be.

Hey there, @fangirlthatreads! I’ve been sitting on this ask for a while and I do apologise for that, but I was so incredibly touched that you came to me with this kind of question that I wanted to answer it as best as I could, and create a sort of masterpost for writing in the process. I’m devoting my whole day to answering this, so hopefully it’s worth the wait :)

So, to answer your first question, I guess I’ve always enjoyed and have been fairly competent in writing. I wrote all throughout school, but never really got the opportunity to continue that in college, so I got a bit rusty. I only really started again recently (Sprousehart and Bughead were too tempting to resist), which has just been the most joyful, creativity-unleashing thing. I started simply by writing the beginning for “Tomorrow” because I couldn’t get the idea out of my head, and I had a very vocal cheerleader (hi, @jandjsalmon) encouraging me to write the whole thing. I haven’t looked back since then.

As for tips and suggestions, I thought about this for a long time and came up with the following, which I’ve tried to divide into three sections after the cut - READ, LISTEN, WRITE.

Anyway, without any further ado, I give you –

paperlesscrown’s personal guide to writing

—-READ—-

I mean, your account name kind of gives it away, but I’m sure you read a lot! But my #1 tip for writers is to read voraciously. I often think of it as fuel for the tank: you can’t put out what you don’t put in. When I run into writers’ block, it’s the first thing I do - I purchase a book for my Kindle and bunker down and read.

Three kinds of reading that I do:

Fanfic - This is a no-brainer. It’s important to expose yourself to the different interpretations of the canon and the characters you are writing about. I must admit that I’m not always the most up-to-date fanfic reader, but I am always hitting up @blueandgoldoffice and my dear friend @theatreofexpression for suggestions and recommendations.

Literature - This is important, too. As amazing as fanfic writers are, there is a whole other universe out there of incredibly written original fiction (and poetry!). Anything I can get my hands on, I get onto it. It’s why I bought myself a Kindle - I carry it around with me everywhere to make sure that I am constantly feeding my brain with exciting plots and engaging characters and beautifully turned phrases.

I often try to read specifically, too. What do I mean by this? So, for example, when I was writing “Apparitions”, which included huge chunks of dialogue between Cole and Lili, I chose to read One Day by David Nicholls, which I knew had a lot of earthy, realistic dialogue between a couple in love. When I was writing my first smutty fic (“In here, too”), I made sure to read The Boss by Abigail Barnette, which is an INCREDIBLE Dom/Sub series (which honestly every Dom!Jug writer should read) with amazingly written sex scenes.

I also make sure I read different formats - not just chapter books, but also longform articles, poetry, etc. I read a lot of short stories because I write exclusively in one-shots, so reading them allows me to see how writers develop plot within a limited word count.

Writers’ resources - This is something I’ve started doing recently, and it’s made such a huge difference. There is a whole world of writers’ resources out there. I recently bought the Emotion Thesaurus, which is described as “a writers’ guide to character expression.” It. Is. Amazing. It catalogues an emotion and the different ways a character could express them (that way I’m able to avoid cliches or vary the way that the emotion is expressed). It’s formatted like this:

It’s quite cheap on Amazon and such a worthwhile purchase. You should also check out websites such as Reference for Writers, which has SO MANY amazing resources for writers, plus links to similar websites.

Meta - Read analysis on your characters, whether it’s a recap from website like Vulture and AV Club or (with Riverdale specifically) meta posts from places like @riverdalemeta, which compiles all the incredible theorising from around the fandom. It helps you think about your characters more clearly. A good story always comes from a good grasp of character, and sometimes meta posts make a world of difference in understanding a character.

—-LISTEN—-

Listen to…

1. A beta. I cannot emphasise this enough. Betas make all the difference between a good piece of writing and a great one. My forever beta, @jandjsalmon, has saved from terrible writing decisions and has also steered me towards incredible ones. @theatreofexpression is a constant source of ideas, headcanons and discussions about the show. The thing about betas is that they are essentially your first audience and an important first filter for your work. They are able to pick up on inconsistencies, disruptions to flow, awkward phrasing, spelling and grammar errors, etc. I often think about them as the midwives for our stories. I may be the one giving birth to it, but it’s the beta who guides me with how to breathe, stand, position myself, etc. and essentially get the baby out into the world (sorry for the weird metaphor, lol). Always, always try and work with one.

2. The characters you are writing about. A handy tip - whenever I am writing, I put the show on in the background (as long as it’s not distracting), or interviews with the actors (if I’m writing RPF). It helps me to get a good grasp on their voice. With Bughead, I’m not much of an AU author - I prefer writing and expanding on canon scenes, so it’s important for me to try and get the voice, tone and phrasing of each character right (as well as the overall tone and atmosphere of the scene).

3. Music. Music can activate some really strong emotions and neurological reactions in us that help us to write well. Some people like writing to playlists (I made one for “What she wanted”), while others like listening to instrumental music. Both are fine, although sometimes I can find lyrics quite distracting. In terms of instrumental music, I listen to a lot of Philip Glass (classical and heavy) and Explosions in the Sky (indie and atmospheric) when I write.

—-WRITE—-

I guess there’s nothing left to do but to write!

Start small. I write a lot of drabbles, as you may have noticed, and those are just small writing exercises for me to keep the words flowing. Not everything you write will contribute to an amazing story, but it’s important to keep putting ideas to paper.

Engage in writing prompts. These don’t have to be Bughead-specific. There are plenty of writing prompts on the net - Pinterest is a great place to find some good ones!

Do writing sprints. I actually learned about this idea from the incredible @tory-b, who does this with other writers on the wonderful Bughead Family Discord. It’s basically stretches of 30 minutes to an hour where you do nothing but write. It doesn’t have to be perfect - it just needs to be written down. It’s a way for you to knuckle down and focus and not have any sort of pressure in terms of getting everything perfect. While my job and life often prevent me from engaging in these, they’re an awesome idea for any budding writer.

Practical tip: Google Docs is your friend. This is a tip just for logistics, but I write on Google Docs rather than Microsoft Word because it’s a lot more portable and I work on multiple devices throughout the day. I have Google Docs installed on my phone and I access it via my web browser off my laptop. This just means I can work on a story when I’m travelling, when I’m at home, even when I’m standing in line at a grocery store. I’m often hit by inspiration quite randomly, so this works really well for me. It’s also the best tool for betas - they are able to edit and make comments in a way that’s easy for them and doesn’t involve multiple file-sending.

…

Anyway. I truly apologise for that insane essay, but I hope this can help you (and anyone else). If you have any other questions, please feel free to send them to me! I hope we can read more of your work soon! xx
