@pagetreader continued from x
She half yelped, drawing her hands away when Isaac stirred under the prodding of the forceps, but then her hands returned, her touch more forceful now, fretting he might jolt awake and spoil his surgery.
"Do they normally do that?" She asked quietly to no one in particular. Elias was still making his own aimless comments, perhaps to steady his hands, perhaps to settle both their nerves; she wasn't sure.
It seemed to Molly that her father was one of the few men in town who hadn't previously seen warfare. When it came to men like Mr. Abbot or Reverend Tallmadge or even Lucas Brewster, any of them she'd prefer to go to for aid in moments like this. She knew her father, if he was still breathing, would be useless in this area, though, then again, he was useless in most areas.
Tumblr media
“ I need to prepare the sutures, Molly dear. Go ahead and put pressure there until I’m ready. As much as ye can. In a moment I’ll tell ye what to do next. ” She nodded, using her apron to keep her hands from slipping as she pressed down firmly on Isaac's side, gritting her teeth from the exertion. She took some consolation in the fact that his skin was warm, though she couldn't feel his pulse so easily. Molly found herself silently recounting the Lord's Prayer. She wasn't one to turn to prayer, especially not when she believed her own woes were nothing worth pestering the Lord about, but these weren't her woes, they were Isaac's, they were his father's, and there was comfort in the repetition of the words, "Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven..."
Her brow furrowed when Elias instructed her to grab the horn of gunpowder, but even when her confusion showed plainly on her face, she followed his orders, her hands not trembling as badly now when she held the blade to the flame. She knew the basics of cauterizing wounds, but she'd never seen it done this way, and the crackle the gunpowder made in Isaac's wound, and the terrible cry he groaned, made her tense, made her wish to jump back, to fall to her knees and cry at the brutality of it all.
“ Oh, quiet, ye blasted fool. Ye brought this on yerself. " She agreed with the statement, even if the reason for his foolery was for a different reason. “Thank ye for the help, dear. I’m sure it wasn’t how ye planned to spend yer night, patchin’ up my moronic son. ”
She managed to scoff a soft laugh; the sentiment was faux, but it helped, even just a little. "Thank you." She meant it, she knew he'd be dead if she'd been left to her own devices. "I doubt anyone else in town would have the sense to... well..." She swallowed. "He'll be all right then?"

Broken Hearts Football Club | Chapter 28
Previous chapter | Last chapter
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"They are literal scum. Posting this article the morning of our most important game so far? Disgusting" Leah said, leaving her phone on the table and laying on the bed next to June.
"Didn't expect anything less from them" she sighed.
"How are you?" 
"Honestly? I don't know. They've published stuff about my relationships before, but…"
"But they've never done it about a relationship you truly care about. One that matters, one that you want, one with someone you love" Leah said.
"Yeah" June sighed again.
They had been caught. Someone had recognized her and Ben on their date at McDonald's, taking photos of them and sending them to the English press. And there was no way they could deny what was going on.
They had photos of them waiting to order, June's arms wrapped around Ben's neck while they kissed and laughed. They had photos of them eating together, smiling at each other. And they had photos of them leaving the restaurant, of Ben squeezing her butt and then hugging her and kissing her. That was couple behaviour, and it was impossible to deny it.
"What has your family said?"
"My dad said that now he understood why I had been looking so happy lately, and my mum that Ben is the most handsome young man she has ever seen and that she is gonna have the most beautiful grandchildren ever."
"No pressure there" Leah chuckled. "So they are ok with your relationship?"
"They are. They said that as long as I am happy, they are happy too."
"What about John?"
"He just worries about me wanting to run away and send to hell the best thing that has happened to me in ages and that isn't related to my career."
"But you aren't running away, are you?"
"The thought crossed my mind when I first saw the article" June said, biting her lip. "But, no, I'm not going anywhere. I… I love Ben. And I'm gonna fight for him. For us."
"Aww, Maxwell!" Leah said, hugging her friend. "You've said it aloud! Finally! I'm so proud of you."
"Yeah, whatever."
"No, this is not whatever, June. This is huge coming from you. This means you've healed, that your heart isn't broken anymore. Though it won't be 100% healed until you tell Chilly how you feel."
"He knows how I feel."
"But you haven't actually told him, have you?"
"Not really, no."
"Then maybe this is the moment to do it, you know? Now that everyone knows about your relationship, this may be the moment to tell him and reassure him that you aren't going anywhere."
"Maybe. But I don't know how to say it."
"It's just three words, Maxwell" Leah laughed.
"Yes, but the three most important words ever."
"I guess… Have you spoken with him yet?"
"We texted earlier after the article was published. He asked me if I was ok and about how my family had taken the news."
"What about his family?"
"His mum was like, oh, this is old news. I've known since I saw her at the hospital."
"She always was a clever woman" Leah chuckled. "Did you talk about anything else? Are you going to publish something on Instagram confirming it?"
"Nah. We agreed that what matters now is tonight's game, that I should focus on that and on showing those idiots who June Maxwell is, that their shit doesn't affect her." 
"So you basically agreed on bringing back the June who likes to shut mouths with goals."
"Ben's favourite, yes" June chuckled. 
"I like her a lot too. Though not as much as he does. Tough love he called it, right?"
"Yeah" she said, remembering everything that happened since that confession, how she and Ben had gone from not being able to stand the other and constantly arguing to… to being in love with each other and happier than ever.
"You know you have us all by your side right? The whole team" Leah said, taking June's hand in hers.
"I know, Williamson. Thank you" she smiled.
"Great. Then let's go kick some asses" Leah said, getting up from the bed with a quick jump. "I feel bad for those poor Chinese girls but… This is how it works. Are you ready, Maxwell?"
"Yes captain, my captain" June laughed, getting up from the bed and joining her.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
"What an extraordinary game of football" Andrew said. 
"Definitely the best we've seen in this tournament so far" Jacob added.
"The way the girls played tonight has been just… Perfection. Look at those stats!"
"And they could have been even better if Sarina hadn't made all those changes after the 5th goal."
"And what a goal that last one was. What do you think, Chilly?" Andrew asked him.
"I think that it probably is the best goal of Lauren's career to the date."
"Agree" Jacob nodded. 
"If you watch it since the moment the ball leaves Earp's foot, it just gets better and better."
"And when it gets to Maxwell… That pass was simply brilliant! And the way James controls the ball and kicks… Urgh, I love it."
"Looks like you've fallen in love with a goal, Andrew" Ben chuckled.
"I may have, yes" he laughed.
"Speaking of Maxwell's pass… Didn't it remind you of one of yours, Chilly? The one against United."
"It was similar, but hers is ten times better. She is a much better football player than I ever was or would have ever been" Ben smiled.
"Completely unbiased comment here" Jacob smirked.
"I'm known for always being unbiased when it comes to Maxwell " Ben shrugged before the three of them started to laugh. "Being serious again, tho… I think the character the girls showed today is worthy of respect. People from the outside tried to make them nervous, to make them fail, and they showed them what they are made of. That they are here to play football and win, and no one is gonna distract them from their goal no matter how hard they try."
"Yes! Our fierce lionesses!" Jacob said, lifting his fist in the air.
"We are very proud of you girls" Andrew said.
"All of you" Ben added, looking straight into the camera, hoping everyone back home got the message. 
They could publish all the rubbish they wanted. He was sure of his feelings for June and of hers for him even if she hadn't said it just yet. And if there was someone who knew how to fight against people who talked shit, making the best of it, that was June Maxwell.

The Prenup: Part Four
Summary: After four years of being together and finally being engaged, Chris wants you to sign a prenup.
Tumblr media
Chris Evans x Reader
Warnings: angst, swearing, chris getting his ass handed to him, a lot of pain.
Part One Part Two Part Three
Tumblr media
As soon as you heard that, you slam the door in his face.
"Y/N, what the hell? Open the door. What are you doin'?"
"No, I'm not opening the door. How are you gonna finally see me and knowing I'm upset with you, greet me with "hi baby"? You fuss at him through the door.
"I'm sorry okay! Can you please open the door? We need to talk."
"Don't raise your voice at me. You're only making it worse for yourself." You shift your weight on the other foot folding your arms. "I can do this all day."
"Come on babe, I'm serious." So were you.
"If I open this door, you better act like you have some sense."
"Alright, alright. Just open the door please."
You hesitantly walk over and open the door seeing him stand in the same position. Your face is torn up and you wrinkle it more when your eyes land on him. Although you won't admit it, a tiny part of you are glad to see him. Just a tiny part.
"Can I come in?" He looks at you and tilts his head sassily.
"Cut the attitude Christopher." You walk away towards the bed signaling he could enter.
"We're not gonna get anything solved with you acting like this" he huffs, slamming the door.
"How do you expect me to act? We wouldn't have anything to solve if you hadn't done all this. All this time you had to think and you still can't get that through your mind."
"I still don't see why you're making such a big deal. This is protecting us both. I don't touch your money, mine doesn't get touched either."
You almost slap him.
"Chris, that's if we were to divorce. We haven't even gotten married and you're already thinking about divorce?" What the fuck is wrong with him?
"You always say to be extra cautious and careful. That's what I'm doing. Megan thinks it's a good idea and when is she ever wrong?"
"You know what's sad Chris? Megan is such a bitch and you can't see it. She literally tries to dictate every little thing you do. She's your publicist, not your wife. You talk about how you love your freedom and independence, which I give to you, but when it comes to her, whatever she says goes."
His hands are rubbing his face, like usual, when he's in a predicament. He's not saying anything, which makes you even more upset, but you continue anyway.
"I truly don't think you understand how you're being right now. You're letting someone else dictate our relationship. You don't even talk to me about it, so I'm sitting on the sidelines watching you play the game. It's clear in itself that you are still not ready to be in a relationship. How? I don't know. You had fucking 4 years."
"Its not that easy, okay? You know how all my past relationships have gone. Somehow I was still being used for everything. Whether it was money, publicity or whatever. You don't get it."
You sigh and run a hand over your forehead. It's obvious you aren't going to get anywhere with this, so what was the point of him even coming here? Hold on.
"How the hell did you even find me? I haven't talked to you all day." He looks up and at the wall, bouncing his leg nervously in the chair he was seated in.
"You had your location on and I drove over here." You roll your eyes and this upsets him. "You freaking left without telling anyone where you were! You could've been hurt. Or even worse."
"I told your momma I was fine." He scoffs.
"You've got to be kidding. You just have to be."
You've had it up to here with this man. Clearly nothing was going to get resolved and both of you are stubborn about it, so you want him gone right away.
"Chris just go. You're wasting time. I told you to come in here with some sense, but you must've left the little that you had at the door."
"You're my future wife. I'm not leaving you. We need to work this out." Haha. That's funny.
"Well according to you, I'm most likely going to be your future ex wife." Okay you were being dramatic but whatever. "Let me help you understand. After 4 years of a relationship, you propose to me. Then you get a prenup behind my back by the advisory of your hating ass publicist. You signed it without even letting me know you had one. Do you not see the issue at hand here?"
You deadpan him for his reaction. You needed some form of indication that he gets what you're saying. That he realizes he's being a dick.
"I mean...I guess? I just didn't think you'd be so bothered. If we never get a divorce then it's fine. The prenup won't matter." He sits up in his chair and looks at you what looks like to be genuine confusion on his face.
Why do you even bother?
"Yes it would matter. Because it will forever be there. And in the back of my mind, I will always feel you picked your money over me." All his confusion washes away at this and is replaced with realization and guilt. "You know me better than most of my own family does. And you know what my intentions are with you. None of them require money. If you didn't have money like you did, I still would be with you Chris. Why? Because I love you."
There's a silence.
"I honestly don't know what to say." And you could tell. Any words he wanted to speak barely got through transformation because he would just clamp his mouth shut.
"Chris I just want to be alone right now, okay? I really don't need this at the moment." Yeah, the fact that you're pregnant. And he still doesn't know. You thought about telling him, but now you want to hold it off being that this didn't go as planned.
"Babe-"
"Chris please. Just do this for me. It's the least you can do." You sit on the bed and cross your legs. You were in a bind that didn't seem to be letting up any time soon.
"Well it was a long drive and I have to use the bathroom." You swat your hand to the restroom for him to go. Anything to get him moving faster. He walks in and shuts the door behind him. Meanwhile, you grab your phone and contemplate whether you should turn your location off. If you kept it on, at least they would know where you were and that you were safe. But you don't want him back here.
After 4-5 minutes or so, you didn't hear the toilet flush and you wonder what he's doing in there.
"Chris what the hell is taking you so long?" The door clicks open and you look, only to see Chris standing in the frame with a pregnancy test in hand.
He has your positive pregnancy test.
You forgot you left them on the sink counter. Fucking idiot. You internally start freaking out and you jump out the bed. He spots you and stares at you. Knowing him for so long, you had never seen this look o his face before. Turns out, it was a look of betrayal. Why would he feel betrayed?
"You're pregnant." His voice is monotonous and his eyes don't leave yours for a second.
You on the other hand, are darting your attention around the room, looking anywhere but at him. You feel a sense of guilt. Probably because you weren't telling him and he had to find out like this.
"Yes- yes I am pregnant" you speak lowly, fiddling with the end of your shirt.
"And its mine right?" That made you mad.
"Of course it is! How the hell could you ask me that?"
"Well I don't know how to fucking feel! You were just gonna let me walk out of here without telling me you're pregnant with my baby!?" Now he's out the bathroom and a few feet away from you.
"I don't owe anything to you right now. I would've told you eventually. When I was ready." He goes silent.
"Are you going to keep it?" This time his voice is meek and lower than his normal tone. You look up and his face is pained. He is all for 'my body my choice' and completely supports that, but he'd be lying if he said that the thought of you, ya know, wouldn't hurt him.
"Yes I am keeping the baby." He let's out a huge breath.
Even though you couldn't have been more than 5 weeks, you had already felt like a bond was formed with your baby. And knowing Chris has wanted kids since forever, you couldn't take that away.
"Well I'm happy." But you still weren't all the way there yet. You didn't forget what had just happen.
"You still need to leave." The little smile on his face had vanished and he looked down.
"Are you gonna come back?" He was making it slightly difficult to keep the same hardness with him. You still loved that man, even through all your anger you have with him.
"I will, just not right now. Or not today at least. I still need to think. I'll be back home eventually." As you're speaking he sets the test back in the bathroom and stuffs his hands in his pockets.
"Well I guess that's better than nothing", he replies still visibly upset. "I guess I'll just head out now." He walks towards the door and hooks his hand on the knob. You quick get up and to your own surprise, you wrap your arms around him.
He's stiff for a few moments, which makes complete sense, but hugs back. You take in his scent and you almost give in. You hadn't smelt him in a while and it drove you crazy. You pull away and adjust your shirt. He looks at you one more time.
"I love you Y/N." You nod your head and he leaves the room.
"I love you too Christopher."
But he couldn't hear you because he was already half way down the hall, thinking about how he was going to make this right.

You know how it feels to be called crazy by people who whip out the "they're brothers!!! shippers are all sick!!" argument every time you see clearly that Jikook are in a completely different league and don't behave like bros at all? That's how I feel this month on Jikook blogs,and it's twice as painful because these are supposed to be my people. During the Butter promotions,there was a time when Jimin and Jungkook weren't interacting almost at all. That's the reality. I'm not saying they are-
-over. I literally have no idea what happens to them behind the scenes,same as every other fan. If they are together,I don't want them to ever break up,because I love them both and their relationship is one of the healthiest and most loving I have ever seen. But I am sick of the fact that anywhere you go in this fandom,sooner or later you'll get called crazy or told you're not a real fan for noticing something negative. Couples fight sometimes. Coworkers disagree. Friends fight. If Jikook are all three,it's impossible for them to *never* fight. We pride ourselves of having our eyes open,but whenever someone voices a BTS or Jikook related worry,we just try to make each other shut up. I don't want all my interactions with other Jikook supporters to be ruled by the fear of potentially enabling toxic Tkk. Doesn't doubling down and pretending everything is always fine with BTS,all the time,and they never unhappy or have conflicts,make me as delusional as those tkk?
Look, im not quite sure what you are looking for here. A safe place to say that KM fight? Yes, they do. I've posted about their 2 big fights we know about already and it would be stupid to say there haven't been probably a million more that we don't and won't ever know about. Fighting isn't always a bad thing in relationships and even just friendships. Fighting is a way of communicating. As long as it is done while maintaining mutual respect and boundaries obviously. Yes, Jimin and Jungkook, no matter what their relationship is to each other have, and probably will continue to fight over things. I got into it with my husband just last month and can tell you that even as I was super pissy, I was also still insanely in love with him. Fights happen, fights are normal, fights are healthy even. I'm positive that they fight.
Do I think that they haven't been interacting during Butter promotions? Um, no. I very much so disagree with you. But that is the beauty of being human. We are all allowed different opinions and we all see things differently. I am also going to ask you to remove the collective "we" from your statement though. I have never tried to make everyone see things the way that I see them. I state my opinions and you all can do with that whatever you want to do with it. And goodness, saying that I (or anyone else) disagrees about their being a lack of interaction is NOT the same thing as doubling down and pretending everything is fine when it isn't. That's slightly offensive honestly. I DO pride myself on trying to maintain a more objective stance on "shipping" culture. I don't wear blinders and only see whatever I want to see. I just also simply am not seeing where you or any potential others are seeing the problem here.
I also want you to take a minute and keep in mind how released content works. We are STILL getting behind the scenes content from Dynamite era that we had never seen before. I remember Jkkrs complaining about a lack of KM content during the making video for Dynamite, and then just a few months ago (almost 7 months later) we got Bangtan Bombs of jikook stuck to each other like glue during the whole thing over and over again. Plus we are STILL in the middle of Butter promotions. We are STILL getting content being released from that. The moments released today of Jikook holding hands during the Xylitol commercial? Yeah, that was filmed during the same time as the start of Butter promotions. The jacket shooting sketch behind? Filmed during Butter promotion time. All that Jungkook purple hair content? Filmed months ago during Butter promotions time. And it's still on going. They've moved on to performances and Big hit is still slowly giving out content to keep the bread coming in for Butter. We literally have probably only seen half the content for Butter so far. PLUS we will probably be getting Bangtan Bombs from the Butter era well into 2022. We aren't getting many live streams, everything is prerecorded and pre-planned. Not much room for behind the scenes silliness that we get to see. But when we DO see it, we see them together in the background. Lee Hyun's video? That was taken right before American interviews for Butter, so during Butter promotions. People had been saying they weren't interacting during interviews, but behind the scenes, you had them walking around clingy and singing together.... even just today, they released more short clips of all 7 guys for Butter promotions. We are STILL getting content for it.
And just because I personally like visuals to go with my posts, here is just some of Jikook from a wide range of time, but all during "Butter" era. We have the Butter press conference photos, the cuddled up together pose, and looking at each other while everyone else looked at the camera with their pretend buttered bread.
Tumblr media
We have the Butter Vlive where they giggled together often and even waved to each other through the screens watching the vlive and smiling together
Tumblr media
We have all this from June, Festa and Muster, Butter is still technically being promoted during this time, the song had very recently just been released, sooo do these interactions just not count since it's not promotional material?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From behind the scenes getting ready for interviews to promote Butter in America
Tumblr media
From the recent Run episodes, but filmed back during when Butter was being filmed
Tumblr media
During the Jacket shooting sketch for Butter:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Filmed around the same time as all the Butter stuff, released very recently, Xylitol behind the scenes holding hands
Tumblr media
And also very recently, not technically a Butter promotion, but PTD is included in the whole Butter CD and era I feel like, their reaction to PTD, very cute and happy together.
Tumblr media
Now I don't know if there are particular moments you are speaking of, but I wouldn't automatically assume they are fighting or not interacting or something is wrong, because again, we probably won't even get all the content they plan to give us about this era until next year. And you could be all worried about them not looking at each other during xyz video, only to get a behind bangtan bomb in a year showing them giggling together over Tae breaking a pair of sunglasses or something equally silly. Or of them curled up on the couch taking a nap together.
Am I trying to tell you that you are crazy or incorrect? No. I'm simply telling you that I disagree. And that is allowed. You also aren't allowed to tell me that I'm being delusional for thinking everything between them is just fine. You ARE allowed to disagree with me. That's just fine, that is human nature. "We" as jikookers do not have to agree on everything all the time. That would honestly be weird. In fact, I'm not even here to change your mind. I'm just simply.... disagreeing. I have seen plenty of interaction through the entire year, they seem fine and happy and content in the content I have seen of them so far. I think its fine.
Do I think they have probably had some arguments this year? Sure, we are 7 months in. It would be totally normal if they showed up to film something and were slightly annoyed with each other over a petty argument of someone not doing the dishes last night, or leaving their shoes out and the other tripping over them. Anything at all! Where maybe they don't get all flirty that day, but ultimately they are fine, go home. Do the dishes, apologize for being petty and move on happily. It's also important to remember that long term relationships are more settled, they don't HAVE to be flirty and on top of each other 24/7. Lol I haven't seen anything that seems like they are "off" or ignoring each other purposefully or having a serious disagreement over something this year at all. But that's just me.
Sorry, I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but it's how I feel. If you are feeling distressed, it's okay to take a step back from KM blogs or stan Twitter and just focus on how you see things and how you feel about it. Or simply just focus on the music? Do what is best for you, in the end. Hopefully you are okay with I guess simply agreeing to disagree over this one. I do truly hope you have a good day 💜

ATEEZ San: The Calm After The Storm. (Oneshot)
Genre: angst, fluff, mafia au.
Pairing: Mafia!San x Reader (fem)
Word count: 3.5k
Inspiration: Fifty Shades Freed
Warnings: profanities, alcohol, blood, guns, death, violence.
Tumblr media
"What the fuck is this?!" you asked through gritted teeth, throwing the freshly printed photos at San's chest.
Your husband didn't have to look at them to know what you were talking about; his men had already reported to him that you watched the entire recording of him seducing his... target. 
"Babe—"
"No, San!" you yelled, cutting him off. "This is the fifth fucking time!"
"But the other one time wasn't about this."
"The other three, now four times were!" he was really getting on your nerves.
"Why are you overreacting?" he questioned with a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Y/N, you knew I had no choice."
You closed your eyes and took a deep breath, trying to control your anger. "I understand that you had to seduce her. I know that it's your job," you tried to say calmly, but your voice was rising. "What I don't understand is why you let her slip her fucking hand into your pants after you got the damn information that you wanted!"
San visibly gulped; he didn't expect you to be this angry. He thought he was well prepared to face you after mentally forming the situation in his head. He knew you'd be pissed, but not to this extent.
"I pushed her away though," he mumbled, running a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, after like, five minutes," you retort. "And the worst part was that you were clearly enjoying yourself in those five minutes! Do you know her or something?"
San sighed deeply, ignoring the question. "Babe, look, I'm sorry," he apologized, not sure about what else he could say to calm you down. Your husband took your hand in his. "I won't do it again, I promise."
You immediately ripped your hand away from his, rolling your eyes. "That's what you always say, San." He took a deep breath; you were testing his patience and he didn't like people doing that.
"San," you start, "How would you feel if you saw a guy kissing me and I get carried away and let him touch me?"
That struck him. Hard. He would hate it, obviously. San wouldn't even hesitate to put a bullet through the man's head if he touched you in any way.
San's silence gave you the answer. "That's what I thought," you snorted.
"Y/N, I'm sorry," San apologized again. "But I still had to do it and you know that."
"Whatever," you mumbled and turned around, heading to your room; he still didn't understand just how much it hurt you. It was already worse enough that you had to witness him kiss and touch all those women. But witnessing San let another woman touch him in the place where only you're allowed to, not only pissed you off, but also hurt you deeply. As the seducer of the mafia gang, he was literally trained to not get carried away; his only job was to get whatever information was needed. San was a very, very skilled seducer and you knew that damn well. Although he did get carried away a few times, he never let his targets touch him. So you couldn't understand why he let that happen now. You texted Yunho (your bestfriend and San's close friend) to ask about that woman, knowing that he would never lie to you.
Your anger increased when Yunho replied: "Oh, she hooked up with San a couple of times back in high school." You snorted in annoyance; so he let her touch him just because he knew her?
Your thoughts were interrupted by your phone's notification going off. Your friends were planning to go clubbing tonight as it was a Saturday. You were going to decline, knowing that San wouldn't let you go if he wasn't with you, but you decided against it; you had a plan in mind and you knew it would work.
You ignored San the entire afternoon. He tried to talk to you but you didn't even spare him a glance. He sighed, leaving you alone to cool down.
-
"Where are you going?" San asked, looking at you from head to toe, while your four year old daughter, Minhee, played with some toy aeroplanes.
"Clubbing," you answered without looking at him.
"You're not going anywhere," San said through gritted teeth. "Especially not wearing that." You were wearing denim shorts and a black lace bralette that showed off your cleavage more than you'd usually prefer. You purposely chose this outfit, of course, and he knew that.
"You don't get to decide where I go and what I wear," you stated. You walked over to your daughter, placing a kiss on her head. "Minnie," you called her by her nickname. "Mommy will be back soon, okay?" you said to your little angel before walking out the door.
-
"Y/N! You finally came!" one of your friends yelled, already drunk. She takes your hand and drags you through the crowd of people to get to the bar on the other side. "Three tequila shots for my friend here!"
A while later, you noticed Wooyoung and Mingi at the entrance of the club; you knew San would end up here as soon as he asks Seonghwa or Hongjoong to look after your daughter for the night.
And you were right.
San entered the club, dressed in all black, looking fucking hot. You wanted to go up to him and ask him to fuck you till you see stars; however, you were still pissed and had a plan to execute.
You quickly downed your shots and pulled your friend to join your other friends who were dancing. You danced with them until one of your friends introduced you to some random guys. One of the guys, who you found really good looking, started to dance with you. You noticed San sitting on a barstool, watching everything. At that moment, the guy you were dancing with put his hands on your waist, pulling you close to him, making San nearly break the glass he was holding. Perfect. Your plan was working.
When you glanced at where San was seated, he wasn't there anymore. You glanced around, searching for him until you felt a hand wrap around your wrist, dragging you away.
San dragged you downstairs where there were private rooms especially for him and his gang members as they owned this club. He took you to the room belonging to him, locking the door behind him.
"What the fuck were you doing?! How could you let him even lay a finger on you?!" your husband snarled through gritted teeth.
You snorted. "All he did was put his hands on my waist. At least he didn't slip them into my pants and touch me."
San now understood exactly why you did that; you were giving him a taste of his own medicine.
You moved to sit on the sofa, your legs starting to hurt from dancing so much. San kneeled down in front of you, placing his hands on the bare skin of your thigh. "Babe, I'm sorry. I'm an asshole, I know. But please understand that chick meant nothing to me. I didn't even know her."
You pushed his hands away from you. "Don't lie to me."
"I'm not lying," he lied.
"You hooked up with her in high school," you deadpanned.
"Fuck," he muttered under his breath. He just fucked up again. "Y/N, I didn't mean to—"
You stood up from the couch. "No, fuck you, I'm done with you and your fucking bullshit," you snarled angrily, cutting him off, before making your way back to your friends.
Tumblr media
"They might take this route instead, we can't predict what they'll do," Jongho said while moving around the meeting room; he was in charge of today's meeting on some mafia gang who had tried to hack into your gang's system to get information on your international drug deals.
During the meeting, your daughter's nanny called you. You declined the call, sending her a text that you were in a meeting. She called again and you ignored it, thinking she wouldn't have seen your message. When she called for the third time, you excused yourself from the meeting.
"I'm in a meeting, Jina, what is—"
"Mrs. Choi," she sobbed. "T-They took Minnie..."
"What?! Who?!" you felt your stomach churn uneasily.
"I-I don't know," Jina cried, "They beat me up at the park till I passed out and t-took her away. They said they would c-contact you."
"Where are you?" you asked.
"At a nearby hospital," she said. "An old couple brought me here."
"I'll be there in five," you said and hung up. You were just about to enter the meeting room, but an unknown number called you. You picked up, assuming it was your daughter's kidnappers since you never got calls from unknown numbers.
"You have a beautiful daughter, Choi Y/N," the man said. "I bet she would look even better with a slit throat, yeah?"
"Who are you? What do you want?" you asked, voice laced with venom.
The man chuckled. "It's simple, your fucking gang has to pay for my loss."
"Just tell me what the fuck you want!"
"Fifteen billion won in cash," he said. "That's the amount I lost because of you motherfuckers. Now listen to me carefully if you don't want your precious child dead. You aren't going to tell anyone about this. Not a word to your boss, Kim Hongjoong. Not a word to your pathetic husband, Choi San. I have eyes watching you, so don't try to act smart. I know you're having a meeting right now about a gang who tried to hack into your system." your eyes widened; how the fuck does this guy know? "I'm giving you three hours," he continued. "If you don't get the money within that time, I'll kill your daughter. Anyway, you'll find a black van waiting for you outside the bank. Your time starts now, Mrs. Choi. Tick tock, tick tock," he chuckled before hanging up.
"Fuck!" you yelled, tears spilling from your eyes. You ran your hand through your hair, trying to calm down; you felt like breaking down but you had to stay strong for your daughter. You wiped your tears before making your way back to the meeting room.
"I'm sorry, I'm feeling quite unwell," you mumbled, quickly collecting your stuff. "Please continue without me."
"Y/N, should I take you home?" San asked; you both still haven't made up from the fight you had a week ago. He tried to talk to you a few days ago, but it resulted in a bigger fight.
"No!" you half-yelled in frustration, startling some of the people in the room. "I'm fine," you said in a softer tone. You quickly left before San could follow you.
-
"Ah, Mrs. Choi, how can I help you?" the bank manager asked, taking a seat across you.
"I need fifteen billion won in cash," you stated, stunning the manager.
"Ma'am, that is a very large amount so cash isn't the best—"
"I need it in cash. It's really urgent," you said in an annoyed tone.
He gulped and nodded. "Please give me your national ID card."
You handed it to him, fiddling with your fingers while he entered your details into the computer system.
"You have a joint account with your husband, Choi San, correct?"
"Yes."
"Ma'am, we will need Mr. Choi's confirmation as he is the primary account holder."
You mentally cursed. "That won't be necessary," you stated, trying to control your anger.
The manager sighed. "All right, please give me a moment," he said before leaving the room.
You groaned in frustration, putting your head in your heads. You couldn't imagine what your little daughter was going through; you knew she would be scared to death. Your phone rang, interrupting your thoughts.
You declined the call when you saw it was your husband. When he called again, you had no choice but to pick it up, knowing he would keep calling you. "Hello?"
"Y/N, what are you doing? Why are you making such a huge transaction?" San questioned. You mentally cursed the bank manager for contacting San. "Y/N, answer me! What's wrong?" You just kept quiet, knowing you'd break down if you opened your mouth. You heard San take a deep breath. "Are you leaving me or something? Is this about the fights we've been having? I'm sorry about that, I know it was my fault and I don't deserve you, but please, let's talk about this," he begged, making your tears spill from your eyes. "Y/N, say something, please. Tell me what's wrong."
"I can't," you whispered, choking on a sob.
"Baby, please," he begged. "Don't leave me. Please, I'm begging you."
"I'm sorry, San."
There was silence on his end before he sighed. "Okay, take all the money you want," he said and hung up.
A moment later, the manager came into the room. "Ma'am, Mr. Choi has given his permission for the transaction. The procedure for huge cash transactions are of course different, so I need you sign a few papers and write a cheque. It'll take a little over half an hour to get the money in cash."
-
As soon as you got the cash, you called your daughter's kidnappers. "I assume you've got the money?"
"Yeah," you replied.
"Good. You'll see a black van from across the entrance of the bank," he said and hung up.
You quickly made your way outside, easily spotting the van. You crossed the street and got into the van.
You couldn't recognize the driver and the other man in the passenger seat. Your daughter wasn't even here.
"Good job, Mrs. Choi," the man in the passenger seat said with a smirk; you recognized him as the guy on the call.
"Where's my child?"
"Relax," he grinned. "We're going to her right now." He glanced at the driver who nodded and started driving.
"Ah, give me your phone," the man said. "We don't need your husband tracking us." You hesitantly gave it and he switched it off.
After what felt like hours, you reached an old building. As soon as you got outside the car, you spotted your daughter tied to a wall, unconscious with a bleeding head.
"Minhee!" you yelled, running to her.
Before you could untie her, you felt an arm go around your neck, choking you. Even though you were trained to fight, you weren't the best at it. Nevertheless, you tried to free yourself. You kicked the man in the shin, making his grip around you loosen. You took that opportunity to bite his hand before turning around, punching him in the face. You kept punching him until two other men grabbed you. You managed to get one of them injured by repeatedly kicking his private area, but the other guy one was too strong. He easily picked you and threw you onto the concrete floor, making you bang your head and knee. You groaned in pain, feeling a warm liquid running down your face. You pushed yourself to get up despite the excruciating pain you felt. His gun was pointed at you while he smiled. "Have a great time in hell, Choi Y/N."
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard and the man dropped his gun, clenching his hand in pain. A few more gunshots were fired at him, instantly killing him.
"Y/N!" you heard San scream. He picked you up in his arms bridal style, and you got a glimpse of his teary eyes.
"Min-Minhee," you murmured, struggling to keep your eyes open.
"Seonghwa's got her" was the last thing you heard before everything went black.
Tumblr media
You slowly opened your ears, squinting due to the bright light. When your eyes adjusted, you realized you were in Yeosang's mini hospital at your gang's mansion. You turned your head to the side, spotting your husband reading some documents.
"San," you murmured, but it wasn't loud enough. "San," you raised your voice a little, coughing due to your extremely dry throat.
San immediately turned to you, eyes widening. "Y/N!" He quickly poured you a glass of orange juice since that was the first thing he saw. He helped you drink the juice, feeling so relieved to see you finally awake.
"How are you feeling, my love?" he asked, taking your hand in his.
"Where's Minhee?" you asked, panick clear in your eyes.
"Minnie is playing with Jongho and Yunho," San said, making you sigh in relief that your daughter was alive. "She's doing well. She got a few stitches, but it's healing quickly. Our daughter is very brave."
Your eyes teared up. "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about—"
"Shh, don't," he cupped your cheek. "I understand why you did what you did, babe. I would've done that too. Anyway, we wiped out that entire gang and got the money back."
"What happened? How did you find me?"
"We killed all the four men and the other three who were hiding. One of them ran away to Japan, but Wooyoung and Mingi went there and killed him," San explained before getting a little nervous. "And um, don't be mad, but I put a tracker on your necklace."
You narrowed your eyes at him. "Hey, see, it proved to be helpful!" he said, putting his hands up defensively.
Before you could reply, San placed his hand over your mouth. He took a deep breath while a wide smile spread on his face. "I also have some good news."
"What's the news?" you asked, voice muffled due to San's hand on your mouth. He opened his mouth to reply, but the door burst open, revealing your daughter.
"Mommy!" she squealed, running to your bed, trying to get onto the bed that was too high for her.
San picked his daughter up, placing her beside you. "Be careful, angel. Mommy is still recovering." The little girl nodded at her father before looking at you.
"How you feel, mommy?" she asked.
"Much better, now that you're here," you replied, tickling her chin. Your daughter giggled, moving away from you. She placed her little hands on your stomach.
"Come out fast so that we can play!"
Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion before you glanced at San. "About that..." he chuckled, taking your hand in his. "We're having another baby. You're pregnant."
"W-What?" you gasped in shock. You and San had been trying to get another child for quite sometime now.
"Yeah," he giggled, kissing the back of your hand. "You're almost a month long and the baby is perfectly fine."
Happy tears streamed down your face while your hands moved to your stomach. San kissed your head before pulling away a little. "I know I've been getting on your nerves a lot, but thank you for blessing me with Minhee and now another baby," he mumbled. "I love you so much, my beautiful wife." He crashed his lips onto yours. You kissed him back, smiling into the kiss.
"Eww!" your daughter squealed in disgust. "I'm going to tell uncle Jongho that you're kissing!"
San pulled away with a giggle before lifting his daughter into his arms, placing kisses all over her face while she squirmed around, laughing loudly.
You lovingly watched the two of them with a large smile on your face, and you couldn't wait for the future when your new baby would arrive, adding more happiness to your and your family's lives.

I wasn't planning on talking about this, but ever since the trailer and the summery of episode 1 came out certain people have gone into overdrive. Pretty much all the same stuff they always say. "Hope should just dump Landon, he doesn't deserve her love and devotion" 😑😑😑 and "They made Hopes whole story just be about a boy. Why does Landon/Handon get so much screen time over all the other characters?" Etc etc.
Okay look Landon is the only one who's actaully earned Hopes love and devotion. Everyone else just acts as if they're entitled to it. With how they always treat her(very unpopular opinion I know but it's true).
Hopes story has never been all about Landon. It's always been about saving everyone else, doing what's best for everyone. Even if it means sacrificing herself and what she wants/what makes her happy. Season 3 was the first season she actively put herself and what she wants first(and even then she still was doing what was best for everyone else at times). And a part of that just so happens to be Landon because she loves him and he's the one who makes her the most happy. And in 3x05 when Hope was in the therapy box was a whole give a way. That she's just tried and done always putting herself last and sacrificing what she loves(ie Landon and what else she just doesn't want to sacrifice anymore) just to save everyone else. And I honestly don't blame her for some of the things she did in s3, not excusing what she did not at all. But at the same time I don't blame her.
Now what I'm about to say might upset some people but there's two reason why Landon/Handon gets so much screen time is bc 1. Landon is a lead and at the very core of legacies is Handons story, so of course they'll be getting more screen time. And I think 3x16 was trying to drive that home of a lot of people. As well as about a 100 other that have been shown/said throughout the show.
2. The other reason why other characters don't get much screen time or even a storyline is bc more often than not is bc the writers/showrunners just don't really care all that much for those characters. One example of that is Rafael. And as much as I love his character, you can just tell the feeling wasn't the same for them. Bc he was gone for must of s2 and when he was around they made him be all about his feelings for Hope. Same thing goes for the twins. You can just tell that they didn't really want to have them in the show in first place(even Juile herself said she didn't want the twins. But things change I guess). Because they've haven't been doing anything with their characters, they've done more with Cleo's character than they have with the twins. I think the most I've seen them do with the twins was the whole dark Josie storyline. The rest of the time their storylines have been about love interests. I'm not sure if I forgot any of their other storylines bc once s3 hit I just kind of stopped paying attention to their storylines(not bc I don't like their characters but bc their stories just kind of just keep going around in circles and I really don't want to watch the same thing over and over again). And idk if in season 4 they're going to start giving the twins and other characters more screen time/ more storylines but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
Wow sorry that got long haha. But any thoughts on this?
It’s just the same old thing with the antis, can they really not think of anything else to say? But yeah, everything you said. What is it Landon has to do to earn Hope’s love and devotion? You’re so right, he treats Hope far better than any of the other characters do, unpopular opinion or not, that’s the truth. He’s not done anything that’s made him undeserving of her love. And for them to even say that after he went his whole life without being loved is horrible. And I’m so tired of them saying Hope’s storyline revolves around a boy (especially when all most of them want is for her storyline to revolve around Josie), because exactly! They must not be paying attention to the show if they don’t see that Hope’s storyline has always been about her being the hero and saving everyone. Which is why them saying that Landon is all Hope cares about and all she thinks about contradicts her actions throughout the show when she has continuously been there for everyone. And yep, to the point where she has sacrificed her own happiness with Landon for the sake of everyone else. And yes, I loved Hope’s development in s3 because she was finally putting herself and her happiness first. And that didn’t mean that she no longer cared about her friends because, like you said, she was still trying to be there for them and do what was best for them too. And exactly, Landon is the one who makes Hope happy, and I felt so bad for her in the therapy box in 3x05. That really did say it all, you could definitely tell that she’s so tired and just wants to be happy for once. And same with in 3x10, when she said “we can never just be happy,” it never seems to end for her. And I don’t blame her for what she did in s3 either. And you’ve also gotta consider that everyone had pushed her into a position where she was most desperate and left with no other options. Plus she also didn’t even think Lizzie or Josie would be in danger in 3x08, and she believed they could make it until the dark magic started to infect them and then she apologized. But what she did still ultimately ended up saving Landon from the prison world, otherwise they may never have found another way if they hadn’t created a rift.
And very true about screen time for Handon. People still refuse to believe that Landon is the male lead despite Aria’s name appearing right after Danielle’s in the credits and Julie literally saying that they casted Aria to be the leading man of Legacies when he auditioned for TO. Both Hope and Landon are the leads of the show, and yep, their story is the main story, so obviously it’s gonna get more focus. And yes, that’s been made clear throughout the show.
It does seem like the writers don’t care as much about the other characters. And I love Raf too, don’t get me started on the way they treated him. And it’s so weird because it seemed like they had bigger plans for him at the beginning. It took them a while to find Peyton, if I remember right. And I thought he and Landon were gonna be the brothers of the show, it seemed like they were setting up a love triangle of sorts with them and Hope (not that I wanted that), but then, like you said, he was hardly in s2. It’s like they scrapped any plans they had for him and didn’t know what to do with him after s1, even though there was so much potential.
And yeah, same with the twins. But idk if Julie said she didn’t want the twins on the show? I just thought having them on the show, at least as mains, wasn’t always part of the plan. They had always talked about a “Hope spinoff,” no mention of the twins. Julie had said Hope and the twins wouldn’t be friends because of the age gap. And from 5x12 of TO, I’d guess they hadn’t planned on them being mains for Legacies at that point either, otherwise they wouldn’t have made the age gap so obvious. And they had no interactions between Hope and the twins either, yet they made sure to establish a relationship between Hope and Landon in that episode. So I do feel like Handon was always part of the plan and they most likely decided to have the twins be main characters later on. And that really does show because they don’t seem to know what to do with them anymore either. True, they definitely did more with Cleo last season than the twins, and I do feel like the dark Josie storyline was the last real storyline they had. And I agree, their storylines now mostly have to do with love interests, and they do feel repetitive or just like they’re not going anywhere. And people will complain about Handon being repetitive, but look at what they do with the other characters, it’s far worse. Despite there being some repetition with Handon, like with them being separated and being put through horrible things all the time, there’s still development and progression. But with the rest of the characters, I feel like there’s hardly any progression at all. I feel like they’ve even gone backwards with some of the characters as well, especially last season. I actually thought the writing for the twins, and all the characters, was pretty good in s1. I liked all the characters and was interested in their storylines, but now, especially after s3, I’m just not interested anymore. S3 really changed my mind about some of the characters tbh, mostly because of the way they treated Landon and Hope. So idk if they’re gonna give the other characters more screen time or better storylines in s4 either. But honestly, because some of the characters have kinda been ruined for me, I’m not even sure if I’d care much if they did give them more of a storyline. I’m really just watching for Hope and Landon at this point, ngl. But hopefully, for everyone else’s sake, they can do more for the other characters next season that other fans will enjoy.

flower girl pt. 1
request: Hey if you still want robin fic requests, i was thinking something like a robin x fem!reader flowershop au? Idk it might cute? You could try it if u want idk if you haven't done something like that already
pairing: robinxfem!reader
warnings: cursing
Tumblr media
•••
robin has always been fascinated by you. you were her first high school crush. sure, she’s had a few others like tammy thompson, but they were only distractions. she always came back to you.
but unlike you, she’s had a conversation with tammy. she’s never had the guts to talk to you. you were the schools it girl, everyone liked you. everyone adored you, especially the boys. steve harrington tried to get with you for a whole school year, then moved onto nancy wheeler.
there had been a rumor going around that you slept with billy hargrove, but you quickly shut it down. you shut it down the nicest way possible, cause you were such a sweetheart.
that’s something else she liked about you, you were so sweet to everyone. literally everyone. it bothered most girls at the school, they thought it was an act. but robin knew it wasn’t, just because someone is kind doesn’t mean there’s a catch to it.
robin remembers the day you so nicely asked billy hargrove to stop not denying when someone asked. she was at her locker, and you stood on the opposite side of the hallway talking to him. she’d gotten upset at first.
were you really sleeping with that dingus?
but when she heard you two talking, she couldn’t help but smile. you were way too kind to an asshole like him.
“hey billy,” you’d said. your voice was so soft, and smooth. robin wanted you to say her name, at least once.
she remembers what you were wearing. white converse, denim overalls, and a white, blue, and yellow striped shirt underneath. she’d told herself all day she’d compliment your outfit, but she just couldn’t build up the courage.
“yes baby,” billy had said, leaning up against the wall to look at you. you gave him a soft smile, obviously uncomfortable with the nickname, but you’d never admit it.
“um, i’m sure you’ve heard what people are saying. and i have no idea where it even came from, but i’d appreciate it if you’d deny it. cause people are saying you’re not confirming or denying, which is rude if you ask me. i don’t sleep around with people, so i’d like if you’d not make it seem like i do.”
robin was thinking, how can someone be so blunt and nice at the same time?
today was the last school day before summer, and everyone wanted it to just end. robin was in with everyone, but also not. hawkins may be a small town, but for some reason she’d never bumped into you before. or seen you from a distance.
she hated not seeing you.
she didn’t know if that was the universes way of telling her it’s never gonna fucking happen, or you just don’t go out much. but she really doubts that, mostly everyone knew you. there’s no way none of them weren’t inviting you anywhere.
when robin got home, she slumped onto her bed, body relaxing after a oh so stressful school year. just as she let out a deep breath, the phone rang on the nightstand. she huffed, that could only be her mother.
she grabbed the phone, fiddling with the cord as she asked, “hello?”
“sweetie, i need you to do something for me,” her mother sounded panicked.
“yeah sure mom, what is it?” robin already knew it’d be a dumb errand, only her mom asked her to do that. none of her other sibling had to deal with it, that’s the problem with being the oldest.
“ah, thank you! can always count on you sugar. okay, i’m having a little friend get together tonight and i forgot to grab flowers, and as soon as i get off work it closes. please run by there and get me some blue hydrangeas!”
robin closed her eyes, truly not wanting to run out as soon as she’s sat down. she also didn’t know why her mom wanted flowers, it was just regular friend.
why do they need fancy flowers?
“i didn’t even know there was a flower shop, what’s it called? and where’s it at?”
her mother laughed into the phone, “robin you’ve lived her for 17 years and you’re telling me you don’t know where ferns and blooms is at?” robin mumbled something.
“well, it’s across the street from hawkins post, please tell me you know where that is at least?!”
“yeah, yeah i do. i’ll go get your um, hydrajas.”
“hydrangeas,” her mom corrected her.
now here robin was, biking to a flower shop called ferns and blooms that she didn’t even know existed. the building was pink, and had the name across the top of the building in white cursive writing.
“so girly,” she whispered to herself.
robin set her bike down on the sidewalk, since there was no other place to put it, and walked inside. so many smells hit her at once, and it was lovely. so many bright colors surrounding her, and it was pretty.
the glass door made a dinging sound, but it wasn’t like ones at a grocery story. it sounded smoother, like it could never get annoying.
she looked around for a minute, reading all the labels. trying to find these so important flowers for her mom. she was just trying to get home before her siblings took over the television.
“hi, do you need any help?”
robin just about gasped, she knew who’s voice that was. that smooth, oh so sweet voice that made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
you. of course you, the literally embodiment of purity, worked at a flower shop. robin looked at you, fuck, you looked so pretty. the short red dress you were wearing did wonders to your body, and wonders to robins conscious. she was so head over heals for you.
“oh uh,” robins face was heating up, “yeah, i do. please.” her voice cracked lightly at the end, which made her want to run out of the store and never be seen again.
you smiled at her, “alright, what are you looking for?”
she was still trying to wrap her mind around the fact you were talking to her right now. in the almost four years of being completely fathomed by you, it was just now getting to this point. robin didn’t really give a shit if you were basically required to talk to her.
“um, hydran-“ fuck, she forgot how to say it. she glanced down at her hand, looking at the word she’d written down on her palm before she left the house.
you let out a small giggle, which made robins heart skip a whole beat.
“hydrangeas?” you asked, a sweet smile still on your face. the blush on robins face only deepened, she was a complete mess right now. instead of talking and risking another mistake or voice crack, she nodded.
you turned around on your heals, bottom lip tucked between your teeth, and began to walk in the other direction. robin followed close behind you, getting a whiff of your vanilla scented perfume.
“here they are,” you said with a proud smile, “what color do you have in mind?”
“uh, my mom wants blue.”
why did you just say ‘my mom,’ you dingus?
you only giggled again, she should’ve known robin buckley wasn’t in here by choice. most teens don’t spend there friday afternoon at a flower shop. boys didn’t even come in for their girlfriends anymore.
most of the costumers consisted of elderly people who still understood what romance was.
“how much,” you asked.
robin stuttered for a second, “uh, like a uh, nice bouquet amount, yanno?”
you laughed, “yes, i know.”
robin mentally slapped herself in the face for being insanely awkward.
“do you have anything you can wrap around like, the whole thing? cause i have to hold them while i ride my bike home and hopefully not drop them,” robin said.
“oh, i can wrap them and put them in a bag. would that help?”
you had that cute small smile on your face again, and robin got butterflies in her stomach. all you’d have to do is glance in her general direction and she’d be a complete mess.
“that’d be nice, thank you.”
“no problem robin.”
holy shit she knows my name.
as soon as robin was out of the store, and making her way back home, it finally hit her.
“holy shit,” she said loudly, “i just spoke to y/n fucking y/l/n, and she knows my name!”

18 + fandom tou haven't written for in a long time (I saw mckirk on here 😁)
18. “Maybe I didn’t! Have you ever thought about that?” 
 Ahah! finally! I started writing this at work, and then finished it just now and wow, did it get away from me (about 1600 words away!) I hope you like it!
Leonardglared down at the biobed and the blond-haired man laying bruised andunconscious upon it. Allthe blood had been washed away and much of the worst surface injuries were alreadydisappearing under the heavy duty dermal regeneration Jim had undergone. Itwould take longer for the bones to knit, but they were also well on their way,as were the rest of the internal injuries that Leonard had had to perform surgeryover.
 Injuries that would have taken monthsin the days before modern medicine would take weeks at most now.
Theworst was over and now Leonard’s fear morphed into anger. Why did Jim seem so intent on throwing his life away?
Jimwas the only one to come back from the away mission so badly injured. Accordingto Spock, the captain’s actions had saved countless lives.
Asa doctor, Leonard should be pleased with that.
Asthe idiot who fell in love with the brash man before him, well, Leonard wasless than pleased.
Thetwo feelings warred within him which only served to make him feel worse as hekept vigil over Jim.
Heshould be used to this by now. He knewthat. Leonard had figuredit out fairly quickly into their Academy years. Hell, he’d already had in inklingon the shuttle, drunk as he was, that Jim wasn’t the sort to run away fromdanger but to throw himself merrily into the thick of it.
Leonardknew.
Butevery time there was another mission, no matter how trivial it was supposed tobe, Leonard’s heart was always in this throat.
Morethan once, he’d caught the knowing and sometimes downright pitying looks on thefaces of his fellow crew members, particularly the bridge crew and Nurse Chapel. And once, Nyotahad even approached Leonard about his unrequited feelings.
It didn’t help, and she turned away,the talented communications officer having found that there were some peopleshe couldn’t get through to. But Leonard was stubborn and he knew when thingswere hopeless.
But dammit, loving Jim was exhausting.
Agroan woke Leonard from the fitful sleep he’d been snatching – against his ownwill, but then, that’s what hours of surgery on top of an entire shift will netyou – to find Jim stirring at last.
Leonardleapt into action immediately, even as Jim’s eyes were blinking open, giving Jima hands on checking overdespite the many read outs he could see all while muttering out loud now that he had acaptive audience.
Literally.Jim was strapped down. He was going nowhere, for once.
“Iswear to God, Jim! You are out of your corn-fed mind! I thinkyou live to give me heart attacks. When you were brought in here earlier…” Leonardchoked on the words and glared down at the still groggy Jim. “Of all the stupid things you do– and you’ve done more than your share – dammit, Jim! Did you even think aboutthe consequences before you pulled that stunt? Do you ever?”
“MaybeI don’t!” Jim shoved out, his voice hoarse and cracking. “Have you ever thoughtof that?”
Jimstarted to cough and Leonard cursed, rushing to help Jim sit up, then push ahypospray into his neck before reaching over to the table for the cup of waterhe’d pre-prepped and giving it to Jim. Jim winced as Leonard cursed, but the cursing was forhimself. Handing Jim the water should have been the first thing he’d done. Leonard waited with his arms crossedwhile Jim slowly sipped at it.
“I’mthe captain, Bones. I do what needs to be done. And anyway, I know I can counton you to patch me up.” Jim smirked back up at Leonard and Leonards’ stomachlurched at the tired, boyish grin.
Leonardpinched his nose and closed his eyes, resting his elbow in his hand and leanedback against the table. Hewas tired. A bone deep weary ache that had nothing to do with the gruelinghours and everything to do with the emotional toll watching Jim hurl himselfinto danger or partners other than himself – really, anywhere that wasn’tLeonard – was taking on him.
“I’dprefer not to patch you up, Jim. There could come a day wheneven these hands can’t save you. I would rather not see that day.”
Therewas rustling and a soft padding across the small distance before a hand claspedLeonards’ shoulder, startling him into opening his eyes and dropping his handfrom his face. A worried Jim stood before him, his blue eyes wide in hisconcern. Dammit, Jim’s the one who washurt. If anyone should be concerned here, it should be me.
“Jim,you should be in bed – “
“Yeah,yeah, I’ll be a good boy and lay back down in a minute. See, I got this chiefmedical officer who isn’t feeling all that great, and as the captain, I gottahelp him.”
“See,that’s just the thing, Jim! You take care of everyone else first. What about you? Don’t you rate anyconsideration?”
“Bones,I’m nothing without my crew –“
“Yes,you are! You’re everything!” Leonardknew that was cutting too close to his feelings, but once he started on thisrant, he found himself unable to stop. “Your crew are wonderful people, yes,but you bring out the best in them!Jim, you’re brilliant! I’m sick of you telling yourself otherwise. They needyou as much as you need them – as much as I – “ Leonard finally found the strengthto snap his mouth shut, but it was too late.
“Asmuch as you what?” Jim asked shrewdly, stepping closer.
Leonardinhaled and looked away, picking up one of the medical scanners with shakinghands. “Lay back down, I need to finish examining you and make sure you haven’tstressed anything –“
Thehand disappeared from his shoulder, and Leonard almost breathed out a sigh ofrelief, until fingers, burning like brands against his skin, closed around bothhis hands.
“Asmuch as you what, Bones?” Jim asked indeceptively quiet tones, his voice filled with determination.
Leonardshook his head. “Doesn’t matter.”
“Likehell, it doesn’t,” Jim snapped. “It’s got you all torn up. I’ve never seen you like this. Leonard, look at me!”
Reluctantly,knowing how stubborn Jim could be when he’d set his mind to something – thatwas one thing they both had in spades and if Leonard wanted Jim to recuperate,he’d have to be the one to cave – Leonard did just that, unable to avoid thoseblue eyes any longer.
“Oh,”Jim said softly, as realization hit him.
Allthe breath left Leonard in a rush as he sagged back against the table, closinghis eyes once more. He couldn’t bear to see the pity on Jim’s face as he explainedto Leonard what he already knew – that his love was one sided. “Dammit,” hesaid, not realizing he’d spoken it aloud. His hand returned to pinch the bridgeof his nose. He could feel a headache coming on and a burn in his eyes.
“Whydidn’t you ever tell me?” Jim asked.
Swallowing,Leonard answered gruffly, “What woulda been the point?”
“Thepoint?” Jim’s voice rose in disbelief. “The point?”
Achuckle burst between them and Leonard lowered his hand to glower at Jim formaking light of his feelings but then Jim blindsided him with the last wordsLeonard ever expected to hear.
“Dammit,I’ve been pining after your sorry ass for yearsand all this time…” Jim shook his head.
Leonardstared dumbfounded as Jim stepped closer, his southern drawl becoming morepronounced as he spoke. “Pining? After me?”
“Yeah,Bones. After you. Now, what are you gonna do about that?” Jim dared him, atwinkle rising in his eyes, a flush on his cheeks.
“Ithink…” Leonard tried to gather his thoughts. It was a harder task than itusually was around Jim but eventually he managed to pull something resembling asentence together. “I think we got some lost time to make up for.” Leonard heldup a hand to stall Jim when Jim opened his mout, “After, you’re all healed up. Now, get back on the bed.”
Jimrolled his eyes but complied, only needing a little bit of assistance fromLeonard as he hopped back up. Once he was tucked back in and the bed was ableto start up it’s work again, Jim looked up at Leonard with a smirk.
“SoDoc, I got this boo boo, right here,”Jim pointed to his lips. “Can I get a kiss to make it all better?”
“Darling,if you behave, and promise to be more careful in the future while we’re at it,you can get all the kisses you want,” Leonard said in mock exasperation. Inside,his heart was leaping in his chest so hard, he was uncertain how it hadn’t brokenthrough his ribcage yet.
“Promise?”Jim wheedled.
“Yes,Jim, I promise,” Leonard said affectionately, looking down at Jim in wonder.Unable to hold back anymore, now that he’d gotten permission, now that he knewhis feelings were not unrequited,Leonard leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Jim’s lips.
Athrill ran through him as he did.
Whenhe pulled back - sooner than he’d have liked, but Jim needed his rest, dammit -Jim was looking up at Leonard with equal parts wonder and disbelief and so muchlove that it made Leonard shake.
Jim’shand snaked out and grabbed Leonard’s, threading their fingers together. “I’m gonnahold you to that promise till we’re old and gray,” Jim murmured.
“Good,cause I’m gonna hold you to that one,”Leonard murmured back with a smile.
