a nice welcome home.
Tumblr media
after a long day at your new job, a manga artist, you decided to end your shift for the night and head back home. you wiped the sweat off your forehead but the stress wasn’t easy to get rid of. the office wanted the manga to be done as soon as possible and you couldn’t get the last few pages right. it was very obviously a hard week for you. luckily it was a friday so you’d get saturday off, but sunday you had to go back.
after getting yourself together you stuffed your things into your bag and walked out to get in your car.
“hey there y/n! lookin great huh, i see you’re ready to go home to lil kenken right?? how you doing?” said kuroo as he ran into you right outside the establishment. he worked near that area and decided to stop by, luckily he walked into you at the right time.
“im doing well,, i guess.. i just was overthinking a bit but i’m sure tomorrow, or even tonight, i’ll be able to refresh myself and relax..” you said almost trying to avoid contact for the time being. kuroo noticed you didn’t seem to excited about things and so he decided to give you some words of encouragement.
“i’m sure whenever you get to relax you’ll be ready for work again! and besides you got a lil pal waiting for you at home, don’t you look forward to that?? he’s pretty good at comforting,, and i should know”- he chuckled. you gave him a smile and nodded in agreement. you let out a sigh and walked off to your car right before kuroo grasped your left shoulder and pulled you in for a hug. he patted your head with his hand and reassured you. you got a little flustered,, but kept it in.
“you’re doing amazing, really. i know you work really hard, so make sure to cool off, ‘kay? you got this in the bag!” he said, you clearly being able to sense his smile through his decently raspy voice. he let you go and gave you a little push to get you back together after the short hug, and you both waved goodbye.
well that was quite an experience. you knew that kuroo wasn’t a homewrecker, especially when it came to kenma’s s/o, but he was getting much more comfortable and supportive with you. that made you happy, but after thinking about what had just happened, you refocused and started your car.
you drove through the freeway and noticed all the billboards promoting businesses that you knew you’d rather be working at. you meet a stop sign and let out a sigh while other cars drive by. when it’s time to go, you go, as one would normally do, but you noticed that some water droplets were gently hitting the windshield of your car. it started getting a bit rougher and even more water droplets starting hitting your windshield, only this time they got louder.
you could hear all the other cars driving by thanks to the water that was slightly flooding the streets. you make a swift turn into your apartment complex and slowed down as you arrived at your apartment. you park at your designated spot and turn off your car. you adjust your bag straps that had fallen off your shoulder without you realizing, and reached into the back side of your car to get your umbrella. unfortunately it wasn’t there so you’d have to get wet, and it was raining pretty heavily. you sighed and reached into your cup holder for your apartment keys and got the right key ready in your hand for when you got to the door.
you slam your car door and lock it.
“goddamit” you let out as you start feeling your clothes getting humid. your shoes were hitting the floor inundated by the rain. you started running towards your door which fortunately was on the first floor. you inserted the key into the keyhole and turned your wrist gently as you peeked into the window. you could see the flashing lights of the tv. kenma was probably playing games again.
you closed the door and brushed yourself off as you glanced at kenma who had turned to see what that noise was. he knew it was you but he still wanted to see your pretty tired face. you gently took of your shoes and put your jacket and bag on the racks on the wall next to the door. you pushed your shoes with your foot and went to put on your favorite slippers.
“hey love, how did today go..?” asked kenma in a soft gentle voice, as to not startle you while you still were trying to shake off the water that had been absorbed by your clothes. you look up at kenma with an exhausted expression. “today was very stressful,, my manager told me to hurry up,, the artwork is due literally wednesday of next week and i can’t even get the stuff i’m working on now finished and-” kenma stopped your rambling by gesturing a hug and making gentle movements to come here with his small hands. you looked at him with a surprised expression, and then quickly changed it to a pleasant smile.
by then you realized that he had paused his game and the music of the game was still playing in the background, only a little quieter then when it’s actually on. you head to his little pile of blankets and pillows, and saw your favorite stuffed animal and a few snacks already set up for you for when you came home. that made you feel a lot better than before. “hey kenken, what’s all this stuff?” you asked acting clueless, but also trying to hear what he had to say about the setup. “it’s just a few things for you to pick out from,, i even brought you your little frog plushie; i know you like it..” he said while grabbing it and handing it to you. he blushed a little as you took it from his hands, gently caressing his as you did.
you took a look at a frog plushie but before you could get a full 360° look of it you saw kenma’s slender hands covering the two small black eyes of the plush. he set the plush down on your lap and grabbed your wrists. he knew your wrists were probably tired and sore after all that nonstop sketching at work, so he started gently rubbing them with his thumbs. he looked at your hands as he did, and then looked up at you. you had a cute shocked expression which he loved to paint on your face. he giggled and then went in for a kiss on the cheek.
after his soft tender lips were lifted from your cheek, you felt a bit of rustling and then a little blow on your ear which made you squirm. he bit it gently and kissed the side of your neck, while you sat there a bit flustered. kenma was usually the type to just give you a kiss on the cheek and continue playing his game, but recently you were getting much more attention from him. you didn’t mind it though, you kinda enjoyed it rather.
“you don’t have to give me neck kisses y’know..” you said hoping that he wouldn’t listen and just continue for a good minute. he of course didn’t stop and completely brushed off what you had just said. he moved to your shoulder and started kissing it, and then he pulled away. he look at you and gave you a smile, leaning in for a kiss afterwards. you kissed back and then grabbed him by the shoulders. both of you were blushing intensely, his blush just a little more calmed down, but it was there nonetheless.
“let’s eat some snacks, shall we?” you say after pulling away from the kiss and sitting there being a hot mess. you could hear the rain only getting rougher and rougher, and at one point you heard thunder. it was gonna be a loooong night. “let’s do that then” he said smiling as he reached over to the bowl full of strawberry pocky and small chocolate chip cookies. he fed you a stick of the strawberry coated biscuit and you nommed down on it happily, while he pulled away the excess pocky stick and brushed crumbs off of your lips with his thumb. his hand grasped the side of your face and he went to kiss your cheek once again before feeding you the rest of the pocky.
kenma turned to face the tv and then slowly got up to grab another controller for you to play with, since he was already playing a game and he wanted you to play along as well. you watched his flimsy self get up and come back to the floor in front of the couch. he sat down criss cross apple sauce style and handed you the controller, all while the thunder was still alive and the rain was still pouring.
“do you want to keep playing this game or... another game i have in our room...?” asked kenma in hopes that you’d say you wanted to continue playing the game he was already playing. he didn’t want to get up when he was right next to you. “this game seems fun, i’d love to play it with you” you said happily as you took the controller he had handed you and held it correctly so that he could get the multiplayer setting on and you’d be ready when he did.
you heard silly sound effects from when he switched the setting to multiplayer, and it filled you up with motivation for some reason. the thunderstorm and heavy raining didn’t bother you anymore because you knew you’d be safe with kenma. the music of the game got louder and kenma slowly lowered it a bit as to not disturb the apartment building. “you have to jump over the brown mushrooms and then jump into the green tubes and-” “..super mario bros..? don’t worry baby i know how to play this one” you winked at him and he let out a giggle.
he layed his head on your left shoulder which made you blush, and you followed it with a wide-eyed expression. he didn’t look too into it though, he was just focused in the game, and for him it was only nature. you rested your head on top of his and continued to play. time passed and it was around 2 AM. you and kenma had played for hours, and kenma was seemingly getting pretty tired, just as you were. “hey bub do you want to maybe go to bed now?” you suddenly paused the game and asked. “bed..?” he looked confused. he directed his eyes to the couch behind you two and you followed, quickly looking back at him.
“do you want to sleep on the couch tonight?” you put the puzzle pieces together. he nodded his head. “you don’t have work tomorrow so i figured you wouldn’t mind sleeping with me on the couch....” he said quietly in hopes that you would. you grabbed his face with your warm hands and kissed his forehead. “yeah of course i do!” you said trying to be enthusiastic, although your tired face barely allowed it. you both got up and he laid on the couch. you tried getting the bowl of snacks from off the floor and bring them to the kitchen but kenma quickly pulled you into his arms.
“tomorrow.. tomorrow we can clean up...” he said exhausted as you now were covering his body with yours. you adjusted yourself as did kenma and you both got into ‘cuddle mode.’
his arms wrapped around your body and you slowly started to kiss him all over. he laid his head back onto the arm of the couch. you relaxed your stiffened body, and closed your eyes as the music from the video game slowly faded away into nothing. kenma’s arms rubbed your back and moved to your head and shoulders. he gave you a final kiss on your head before drifting off to sleep.
Tumblr media
that’s all ! i hope you enjoyed this self insert x kenma fluff fanfic ! if this does any good i’ll consider writing more fluff in the future :))

5 + 1; Bucky Barnes
(Five times Bucky Barnes almost kissed you, plus the one time that he did)
Bucky x reader, avengers x reader ,(platonic)
Warnings: a lil bit of swearing :)
Word count: 4.4 k (I'm sorry)
A/n: I LOVED WRITING THIS SO MUCH! I'm back at it again with my obsession with James Barnes, so here it is. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy it! - Aphrodite :))
Tumblr media
(1) "C'mon James, you need to go to bed!" Bucky was sprawled out on the sofa in the Avengers common area, face pale and clammy. You had been with the avengers for a year, and Bucky was definitely the person you were closest with. You didn't know if you saw him as a brother, a best friend or even something more, but you both definitely felt connected.
"Y/n," he groaned, "I'm fine. I've survived Russian medical tests and torture, a little cold is something I can handle." He sniffed and wiped his nose on a tissue, putting it into his jumper pocket. He looked seriously in pain, his forehead sparked beads of sweat and his eyes looked tired, almost hollow.
"Firstly, it's not a cold, it's the flu." You stated, picking up a few stray tissues and throwing them into the bin a few meters away. "Secondly, if you don't go to bed now I will carry you, and God knows neither of us want that." You glared at him, expression stern with your hands on your hips.
"Good god, you're beginning to turn into Steve." He muttered, rising from the sofa. Heaving in pain, you put his arm over your shoulders and helped him to his room.
Once you got to Bucky's room, he sat on the edge of the bed. You stayed at the door, holding onto the door frame. "Right, change into your pyjamas and get comfy in bed. I'm going to the medical bay to get you some cold & flu meds, a thermometer and a glass of water. I'll be back in two secs."
Once you left, Bucky took off his jumper and sweats, to be left in a black tank top and his boxers. He flopped into bed, pulling the blanket up to his waist. You returned after a few minutes, not bothering to knock on the door. You spend more time in his room than yours, and you knew he didn't mind your presence.
Panting, you set down a small glass of water and a box of tablets, holding a small thermometer and cloth in the other hand. He looked up at you, puzzled at your breathlessness.
"Ran into Tony...on the way...had to run away...so he wouldn't ask me why...I had medicine and stuff." You took a few deep breaths and plopped onto the bed, sitting cross-legged facing Bucky. Taking the dry cloth, you gently patted at his forehead, mopping up a small bit of sweat. You continued to do this, moving a few stray pieces of hair from his face and tucking them behind his ear, until he looked a bit better. Although you were both silent, an awful lot of eye contact was held, and that was a conversation all in its self.
"Thank you, y/n." Bucky looked serious, as if there was something he really wanted to tell you. Laughing, you popped two cold & flu tablets out of a packet and placed them on the nightstand. "Jeez, don't get all soft on me now. You're not dying, Buck, I just want to make sure you're alright!" You grabbed the thermometer and held it up to his mouth. "This won't taste good, but once this is over I will definitely make you some soup. Open wide..."
Bucky smiled, shaking his head. "I have arms, y/n, I can do this mys-" you shut him up by shoving the thermometer into his mouth, laughing when he almost choked on it. As he re-adjusted the thermometer, you placed a hand on his forehead. He relaxed under your touch, closing his eyes; he was definitely burning up, his forehead was far warmer than your hands.
You took the thermometer from his mouth and brought your hand back from his head. Bucky opened his eyes, and you gave him a sigh. "Yep, you've definitely got a fever. You need to rest, I'll come and check on you soon...maybe put on a movie? Anything to distract you, really. Okay?" Bucky nodded, sitting up a bit more. You leant in and gave him a hug, and placed a kiss on his cheek. You pulled away slightly, your foreheads inches away. You leaned into his touch, his hands holding your arms, but stood up when you realised what was happening.
"I...I'll see you soon, Buck." And with that, you were gone.
(2) The clock read 6:14. The smell of marinara sauce and french cheese wandered around the avengers tower, making you grow more and more hungry by the second.
One minute. One minute, and you'd be able to stuff your face with Wanda's signature pasta. One more minute and you'd be in pasta heaven. One more minute.
You began to grow impatient, the ticking of your clock driving you insane. You paced in your room, mouth watering at the thought of the delicious dinner waiting for you. 30 seconds.
Your stomach growled like a tiger hunting it's prey. You opened your door, an even stronger whiff of Wanda's creation hitting you like a sucker punch. You turned back around to look at the clock - 5 more seconds.
It's almost time.
4 more seconds.
You couldn't wait.
3.
A month's worth of pleasure waiting for you on one plate.
2.
Anticipation bubbled inside of you.
1.
This is it.
The clock turned to 6:15, and you heard Wanada call from the floor below.
"DINNERS READY!"
Racing out of your room, you ran at the speed of light. You knew what was waiting for you, and you weren't going to waste any time getting to it.
Jogging down the stairs, you saw everybody around the kitchen, talking and laughing; you got to the 5th step from the bottom before you ankle buckled underneath you. With a yelp, you twisted and fell, trying to grab the banister for support but failing. However, you didn't fall on the floor, but fell into a pair of arms. Looking up, you saw Bucky grinning.
"You're telling me you can kill 8 Hydra agents with one bullet while fighting off three more at the same time, but when it comes to stairs you forget how to walk?" Tilting your head back in laughter, Bucky tightened his grip, holding you bridal style. Almost falling out of his arms, you threw your hands behind his neck, causing you both to laugh even more. You heard Wanda and Nat laughing with you from the kitchen, but you were only focused on Bucky. After you stopped laughing, you smiled widely, looking back at him.
"The sad part is, you know exactly why I was running down the stairs." He smiled back, eyes glistening. "Mhm," he nodded, rolling his eyes, "you are so desperate to see me that you couldn't help but run!"
Giving him a fake slap on the arm, you chuckled.
"I know, I know. You really want the pasta, don't you?" Nodding, Bucky shook his head. You felt relaxed in his arms, comfortable and secure. He could've put you down a few minutes ago, but you didn't mind. You looked into his eyes and he did the same thing, breath hitching in your throat. Only just realising that your face was particularly close to Bucky's, you felt his gentle breath on your cheek. You closed your eyes as he leaned in closer to you, his hair tickling the side of your face.
"What's up with the lovebirds!?" Tony exclaimed (loudly), walking into the kitchen. Both you and Bucky bolted upright, and you fell out of his arms. Hitting the floor with a smack, you landed face-up.
"Son of a BITCH, that hurt!" You yelled, Bucky rushing to help you up. You all laughed, but something inside you felt disappointed, almost unfulfilled.
(3) after dinner that night, you avoided Bucky for roughly a week. You felt embarrassed, awkward, so you kept your distance. You went down to the training room one day and checked the chart: Wednesday - Sam and Bucky's turn to use the sparring mat. You didn't mind being in the same room, as he'd be focused on training, so you were just going to use one of the machines. When you walked in, you found Bucky on the treadmill - Sam wasn't there. Luckily, Bucky hadn't noticed you yet, so you turned around and slowly walk away. Before you were fully out of the door, you heard Bucky call your name.
"Y/n!" Sighing, you turned back around and gave Bucky a tight smile. "I thought today was your turn to train with Sam?" You asked, placing the water bottle and small towel that you were carrying on one of the benches and crossing your arms, becoming conscious that you were only wearing shorts and a sports bra; it was summer, after all.
He smiled and wiped his forehead with his own towel, stepping off the machine. "Yeah, Sam didn't feel so good and had to cancel. Thought I'd come here on my own, but you're here now, right? D'you want to spar?" Your mind raced, you knew there was no getting out of this one.
"Sure thing. I train with Nat anyway and I definitely need a break from her Russian spy tricks." He laughed as you both stepped onto the training mat. "Is now a bad time to remind you that I'm trained in Russian spy tricks?" You smiled, genuinely relaxed. "Maybe not."
Not a second had gone by and you had already started sparring. You kicked him on his side, he punched you in the throat, you pushed him onto the floor, he took you with him with a swift move of his leg. You both jumped up and started all over again, even more vigorous. You went to punch him on the side of his face, but he grabbed your wrist before it met his cheek. "Try again."
With your free arm, you elbowed him above the shoulder and punched him in the nose. In retaliation, you recieved a blow to the stomach, but you were quick to push him up against the wall and lock him there with your arm against his throat. You leaned in close and whispered in his ear.
"I've been wanting to kick your ass all week."
He quickly flipped you over, and you pressed your back against the wall. He pinned your arms up above your head with one hand and held your waist with the other. You tried to kick him away, but his legs were pressed flatly against yours. He leaned in even closer.
"Yeah? Hit me with your best shot."
His words were a mix between whisper and a grunt, which sent a shiver down your spine. However, you knew his weakness. You pressed your forehead against his, and his grip weakened slightly. Just before your lips were about to touch his, you raised your leg and hit him in the crotch with your knee. He stumbled backwards, giving you the perfect opportunity to strike him in the chest. He went toppling to the side, falling heavily onto the floor. Calmly, you walked over and looked down at him.
"Is that the best you can do?"
(4) summer came and went in a flash, and before you knew it, the trees had lost their leaves and everything was a warm shade of red and orange. It was a late autumn evening and you had been reading in bed. It was far to cold for pyjamas, so you wore joggers and one of Bucky's knitted jumpers that you had stolen a few months ago, it smelled exactly like him. Turning your bedside light off, you glanced at your clock, which read 10:53. Laying down, you soon fell into sleepy doze, the sound of rain patterning against your window aiding your sleep.
You must have been asleep for almost an hour before you were woken up. Light streamed into your room from the open door in front of you, and you saw the silhouette of somebody crouched down by the side of your bed.
"Hmm?" You sat up and rubbed your eyes, adjusting to the light. The person sat next to you on your bed and you immediately knew who it was.
Bucky.
He looked a bit guilty for waking you up, but his eyes looked sorrowful and ridden with regret.
"Nightmares again?" You tiredly asked, placing a hand on Bucky's shoulder. He nodded, avoiding your gaze; his hair was pinned back into a bun, and his hands shook slightly. Usually, when Bucky had nightmares, he'd get into your bed and cuddle you, falling asleep with you by his side. However, you wanted to do something to distract him from his memories, and not just cuddle him. He stood up, about to walk to the other side of your bed before you stopped him. Rolling out from underneath the covers, you walked over to your record player and set up a vinyl. It was a record that Buck had gotten you for your birthday, 'The Best Of The 60s'. Quietly, Elvis began singing one of his ballads as you walked over to Bucky.
Placing your arms behind his neck, you gently swayed to the beat of the music. He cautiously wrapped his arms around your waist and bent down slightly, allowing you to rest your face in his neck. You couldn't be any closer; your torsos were pressed firmly against each other, arms tightly gripping to the other person. As you both rocked back forth, Bucky raised one of his arms up and placed a hand behind your head, holding you closer. You had never felt safer in your life, and you began to think about the man holding you.
When you first met, you could honestly say that you were scared of him. You weren't intimidated by him, but you were terrified that he would snap at you or hate you as soon as you met. You could've never guessed that you'd have the sort of connection that you do, but it worked out brilliantly. After growing more mature with each other, you found it easier to empathise with him. Everything that he had been through - torture, near death experiences, kidnapping, forced murder - you felt the same pain as he did.
Tightening your grip around him, you let out a few tears. You were comfortable crying around him, he never made you feel uncomfortable, yet you really didn't want to break down in this situation. But guess what? You broke down anyway.
The few drops on your cheeks became a river of tears as you thought more about Bucky. Your shoulders heaved, and Bucky noticed instantly. He knew why you were crying, he felt the same pain. He stroked your hair, warm fingertips against your scalp. He lifted your jumper up ,slightly, with his other hand and rubbed circles on the small of your back. Your skin tingled under his burning touch.
Bucky's eyes stung with tears; there was a lingering thought between you both that hung in the air, and he hated seeing you in pain. You pulled back from him, moving your arms to his shoulders. The music stopped a while ago, but you still moved to a shared rhythm. You looked down, but Bucky used his real hand to lift your chin up. His hand was large and warm, radiating heat. He cupped your cheek, and with his thumb, brushed away a few of our tears. You tilted your head into his hand, closing your eyes. In that moment, Bucky would've kissed you. He wanted to lean down and brush your lips with his, run a hand through your hair as he kissed you. Yet he saw the sleepiness in your face, and knew it wouldn't be right.
Putting both arms around your waist, he effortlessly lifted you up, and you wrapped your legs around his hips. He walked you back over to your bed and placed you underneath the soft covers, planting a kiss on your forehead. With a small smile and a 'goodnight', you were back on your own.
(5) three months later, it was almost Christmas, and the avengers had gone all out. The group always did something ridiculously extra over the holidays, and this year Tony had rented out an ice skating rink. It was only a few blocks away from the Avengers tower, so you all took one of Tony's limos down there. You wore a red turtleneck jumper, a plaid skirt and black tights, as the group arranged that the dress code was red. Bucky wore a dark red shirt + hoodie with jeans, and everybody else wore an odd combination of christmas jumpers, cardigans, tee shirts, and (in Steve's case) a red Hawaiian shirt.
In the limo was you, Bucky, Tony, Steve, Natasha, Wanda, Sam, Bruce, Vision and Clint. Everybody was invited, but many had gone home to see their family for the holidays. You all made a pretty nice group, though.
The skating rink was huge, enough to fit hundreds of people. As you all sat outside of the rink putting on your ice skates, Tony asked a very important question.
"How many of you guys can actually skate?"
Out of all 10 of you, only three could say that you've skated before.
"I can." You stated, tying up your laces.
"Same here." Replied Wanda.
"Me too." Said Sam. Everyone looked at him, amused yet puzzled.
"What!? My mom made me go with her when I was a kid, alright?" Everyone laughed, and Sam looked slightly pissed.
Once you were ready, you carefully stood up and took Bucky's arm.
"D'you want to skate with me?" You asked, entering the rink. You flawlessly made your way around the edge, Bucky slipped quite a few times. "How did you get so good at this?" He questioned, clinging onto the barrier for dear life.
"I used to go all the time with my friends, there was a cute little skating rink next to our school." You span around on the ice, landing perfectly on your feet. Bucky tried to leave the wall but fell directly onto his bottom, making you laugh harder than you ever have.
The night went on peacefully as you skated with your friends. Nat and Wanda stayed together the entire time, hand in hand, and every time you looked over at Steve he was on the floor. You and Bucky spent your time skating around the rink together, talking about anything and everything, laughing whenever you saw Steve fall over. You all decided to leave at 9pm, and 9pm seemed to be coming closer by the second. You and Bucky were the last ones left on the rink, everybody else had gone to the limo. Steve sat on the bench outside of the barrier, putting his shoes back on.
"Should we wait for you guys?" He asked, putting his skates back on the shelf.
You glanced at Bucky who had just fallen over and giggled. "Nah, we'll get a taxi."
Steve left, and Bucky got back up. "Come over here." You beckoned him to the centre of the rink where you were stood. He laughed, shaking his head. "And sign my death certificate? No thank you."
"C'mon Buck, you haven't left the barrier all night!" You skated over to him and took his hand. "I'll help you?" He sight and gave you his other hand, and you both slowly skated over to the centre of the rink. "See how easy this is?" You asked as you let go of his hands and span around on the spot. Moments after you let go of his hands, he fell backwards. You didn't realise until too late, and fell over his leg, resulting in you on top of him. You couldn't of landed worse; your legs were straddling his hips, your chests pressed up against each other, your hands on the ice either side of Bucky's head.
Laughing nervously, you gave him an awkward smile and apologised. He sat up, you now sat, facing him, oh his lap. You both thought the exact same thing - now was the perfect time to kiss. Both of you slowly leaned in, and your lips barely brushed before the lights went out. You laughed hysterically, plunged into darkness.
"Shit," Bucky exclaimed, holding onto your hand, "how are we going to get out?"
(6) not a week had gone by before the new year came around, and Pepper had planned a new years eve party. Despite it only being the same eleven of you that spent Christmas together, Pepper told you all she wanted everybody to wear suits and party dresses, so you could have a fancy new years party. It was 8:25pm when you went to the common area. Everything was different; furniture had been moved, there was a soft orange glow from the ambience lights that lit up the room, and the large windows showed the rest of the city below ((the common area looks how it did in the party scene in age of ultron)). You were the last to arrive, and you heard music playing from the common area as you walked down the stairs.
Tony had hired chefs and bartenders, and set up a photo booth in the corner of the room. Fairy lights were strung around the large room, and you heard the sound of Steve, Bucky and Sam laughing together. You wore a floor length, red glittery dress that had a cut on the side, running from the floor to the side of your thigh. Your hair was curled and gently flowed down your shoulders, almost meeting the sweetheart neckline on your dress. Your outfit was complete with a pair of red heels, and you could admit that you looked stunning.
Once you got to the bottom of the stairs, you immediately walked over to Natasha and Wanda who were at the bar. Nat wore a knee length black bodycon dress with spaghetti straps and stilettos, whereas wanda wore a dark purple tiered dress with black wedges. As soon as they saw you, both of their jaws dropped. You blushed, your cheeks matching the red lipstick you wore. "I'm overdressed, aren't I?" You asked, feeling slightly self conscious.
"No way! You look amazing!" Wanda reassured, looking you up and down.
"Wanda's not the only one thinking it." Natasha said as she pointed a finger past your shoulder. You looked behind you and saw Sam, Steve and Bucky staring at you. Steve and Sam merely gaped at your appearance, whereas Bucky grinned at you. Turning back around, you laughed with Nat and Wanda and grabbed a bottle of water from the bartender. Once you got your drink, you walked over to Bucky who was now sat alone on one of the sofas.
"Good evening, James." You spoke in a fake posh accent which made both of you laugh, and you sat down next to him. He wore an all black suit, his hair styled nicely, falling past his jaw. You began talking, but the chit chat didn't last long before Tony arrived from the kitchen.
"Tables set guys, let's eat!"
You sat next to Natasha at the rectangular dinner table, Bucky sitting across from you. Everyone ate steak and salad, and you each went around the table saying what your new years resolution would be. When it got to your turn, you were stumped.
"I don't know...I can't really think of anything." You stated, taking a sip of your glass of white wine.
"Even though we've known you for a year and a half, there's still so much that you haven't told us about yourself." Clint opined. There was a mutual agreement between the rest of the group, but Bucky stayed silent.
"Maybe your new years resolution could be to learn a language?" Sam added, taking a bite of his dinner. Bucky snickered as you turned to face Sam.
"Non penso sia davvero necessario." (I don't think that's really necessary) Everybody looked taken aback at your bilingual secrecy, except Bucky. Instead, he just smiled at you.
After dinner, everybody went back to the common area and danced. After Tony and Steve got defensive about who could dance better, they decided to host a mini dance competition. Bucky looked around, but you were nowhere to be seen. Before anybody could notice he was leaving, he snuck out of the room and down the corridor. It took him a few minutes before he saw you out on the balcony, staring up into the night sky.
"What's up?" He asked as he stepped out into the cold breeze, placing an arm around your shoulder. You tilted your head to rest on his arm, and sighed, your breath forming a little cloud of steam. "I'm just thinking about that delicious chocolate ice cream." Bucky laughed, thinking back to the ice cream everybody had for dessert. "I don't blame you, it was very nice." He spoke, voice calm and sweet.
"Hmm" you sight contently. Bucky felt the goosebumps on your arms and pulled away.
"Here." He said, taking off his blazer and handing it to you.
"Thank you, Buck." You replied, wrapping it around your cold arms.
"Wait..." He paused, looking at your face. "Mhm, you've got a bit of chocolate ice cream in the corner of your mouth!" He laughed as you wiped around the side of you lip.
"Gone?" You asked, examining your clean finger. "Nope, try again." You breathed out, swatting at your mouth again, but your finger always came back clean. "Can you get it off for me?" You asked him, and he smirked.
"Sure thing, y/n."
He leaned in close to you and crashed his lips onto yours. His lips were dry and he kissed roughly, making your soft lips turn to jelly under his. Your hands found his neck, and his your waist as you ran a few fingers through his hair. He pulled you closer, deepening your kiss, as you sighed into his mouth. You weren't quick to pull away, making sure you savour the feeling of his lips against yours. You smiled at him as he looked at you, pure admiration in his eyes.
"You don't know how fucking long I've been waiting to do that."

imagine taking rapper jake home to meet your parents.
i’m so sorry for the delay, anon! <3 buckle up, it got long and i’m emo!!!!! lil jakey jakes meeting your parents was not something i thought i’d cry about right now but here i am. i listened to nothing’s gonna hurt you baby by cigarettes after sex if you want to vibe with me!
Tumblr media
<3
jake swore he was about to shit his pants when you reminded him of the dinner with your parents.
he ran all over his house, searching for nothing and everything at oncel. one second it was his tie, the next his phone and after that his keys. he was just so terrified. he wanted to leave a good impression.
he dressed up like he was going to the oscars. he put on a suit, a new one he got tailored to his body just for the occasion. he covered all of his tattoos, with those long sleeves. he hid his chain under the color of the shirt you buttoned lovingly. he went to the barbershop too, he got a fresh cut and his beard neat. he looked like a movie star and even if this was not the man with whom you fell in love, you still loved this new persona.
“you’re so stressed that i’m stressed” you’d scream at him while he paced around the bedroom as you put on a simple outfit, some jeans and a button up shirt too. dresses felt too formal. it was your parents, not the pope. “we’re not going. i’m calling them and i’ll say i’m sick”.
jake stopped moving and protested. “if i wanna ask your father for your hand, i better know how he looks like first. if he likes golf, i’m out”.
the joke was unexpected, but it made both of you laugh. he kept bringing up marriage. it was like a running gag, but it felt more and more real. one day you would be called mrs gyllenhaal. and this day would not happen if you died from a heart attack because you couldn’t face the judgement of your parents.
so jake waited for you in the car. he picked a black jaguar, he didn’t want to be too obnoxious. he had the head lights shining bright and blinked them so you pretended to walk like a model and twirl in front of the car before you sat on the passenger seat. “so fuckin’ gorgeous.” jake said and noticed you, too, wore the chain he got you for your birthday. he stretched his arm out to play with it lightly and then proceeded to drive to your parents’ house.
he stopped in the drive way. it was a tiny home, very old with a bunch of flower pots that were wrapped up for the winter. it was lovely already. jake stopped the car and took deep breaths.
“you sound like you’re about to get into labor”
“it’s a neat trick you’ll have to try it”
and you both breathed fast like two freaks in the car while the music was playing in the background. some U2 song. it calmed the two of you down. when you got out of the car, jake immediately grabbed your hand. he needed the comfort.
you were about to ring the door bell when your mother slammed the door open and wrapped you in a tight hug.
jake smiled and looked behind her. he waved at your father.
“mom, dad, this is my boyfriend, jake. jake, this is my mom and dad.”
“hi mom, hi dad” jake replied and it made the two of them laugh.
jake wanted to bring champagne and flowers, but you convinced him to not do too much. your parents were simple people. they would be happy as long as jake didn’t tease you from under the table (the jeans were definitely a good option) or mentioned politics. 
“our daughter has told us a lot about you” your mother said “yeah, we heard you are a singer? isn’t that the dream” your father added
“yeah.” jake smiled awkwardly and took a sip from the glass of water you both shared. you were sitting on his lap, on the love seat of the small living room. your parents asked him tons of questions. he answered them genuinely. he asked them questions too. he was relieved to find out your father preferred hockey to golf.
you sat around the table. it was weird that the fourth chair of the dining table was finally used.
none of your previous relationships lasted long enough to reach this level of intimacy. sex was one thing, but meeting your parents? that was a HUGE deal.
jake behaved like the best man in the world. he complimented the food. it was just simple spaghetti and storebought garlic bread. but it tasted like love and home. he asked for two other plates. your mom even reached to wipe his chin from the tomato sauce.
it filled him with joy. he had a tough relationship with his own family and he felt like he fit right in with yours.
you watched jake with heart eyes. he was so happy to explain his art and craft to your father who kept asking him if he had met blake shelton or the backstreet boys. you know, hip people. jake laughed and shook his head. he didn’t bother explaining that he sang about filthy things the two of you did. he was happy they considered his job as valid. he was not a carpenter or a doctor. but he was happy to spoil you nonetheless.
“you’re doing great” you’d whisper to jake.
everything was fine. until your mom pulled out the baby photos albums. THE SHAME.
“look at that tiny baby booty!” jake pointed and melted. “toohtless! that gums only look, can’t wait to see it again when we’re old and grumpy.” he pulled out a photo. you were wearing matching ugly yellow zipped hoodie and plaid pants. you were holding a teddy bear of the same colour as the one he got you for your birthday. behind the photography it was written happy y/n at the park with her best friend. he asked if he could keep it. your parents agreed. (it was his phone home screen from now on, your lock screen being a post sex glow photo when he could see a tiny drop of cum at the corner of your eye, it was still cute to him). “so she’s always been bad at cooking?” he said and laughed when you found a picture of you and your grandparents where you held a plate of burnt cookies. “hey, not cool! i was only seven!” you pushed him gently. “look at you now, you burn bread in the toaster”. your parents were the ones who melted now.
“so, jacob...”
jake insisted that it was fine your father called him by his full name.
the two of you were so stressed out. the tone of your father’s voice was suddenly heavy and scary.
“yeah?”
“does it hurt to get tattoos?”
jake squinted and you coughed loud enough to cover the whispered what the fuck that came out of his open mouth. his sleeves were rolled up and exposing the ink. “i mean, yeah, it hurts a lot. it’s worth it though. i feel like an art collector.”
“in my young days, i’ve always wanted a tattoo. i got the concept. this lovely lady as a pin up girl, quite impressive, huh?.” he winked at your mom who blushed while you tried everything you could not to throw up.
jake rolled his sleeve a little higher and pointed at a spot near the veins of the inside of his arm, close to the elbow. he got the outline of a heart tattooed. you noticed how wobbly the lines were, that’s because it was the heart you always drew at the end of your notes that you left him when you were gone or when he was out working. “that’s my favourite.”
THE WAY YOU JUST BURST INTO TEARS and your mom shouted “time for dessert!”
great timing.
“our daughter told us you loved m&m’s”.
jake turned to look at you. you shrugged.
your mother came back with chocolate cake on which she had sprinked crushed m&m pieces on the frosting.
jake asked to get the biggest slice. “that’s the best fuckin’ cake i’ve had in my whole life.” (which was a lie because the best cake was your ass but details) he said, his mouth full. your mother laughed and your father agreed. they began talking about hockey when your mother asked for your help in the kitchen.
“if we learned anything from you,” she started and handed you a plate to dry. you hated to do the dishes, especially if you were to be lectured like a child. “it’s to never judge people by their covers. we love jake. he’s good to you. you’re good to him.”
you hugged your mom and the two of you cried so loudly that jake dropped his spoon. he thought something bad happened. that you cut yourself with the butter knife or something.
“welcome to the family, jake.” your father squeezed jake’s shoulder as you walked back to him to press a kiss on his cheek.
it was now time to leave, after hours and hours of anecdotes from your childhood or from the time you were convinced you’d marry brad pitt or when you put eyeshadow in your hair to act like you dyed them to be punk but it was raining that day and you came back looking like a sad frosty rainbow.
“you’re my favourite person.” jake told you when he gave you his vest as a coat. it was chilly outside.
you all hugged and shook hands, promising to come back soon for brunch. jake told them he’d make his famous pancakes.
“hold on!” jake exclaimed and pulled you by the arm. you followed him back in the kitchen and he fed you a spoon of the cake. you fed him one in return again. “tastes almost as good as your pussy” he whispered in your ear and kissed your chocolate covered lips.
you finally left the house, waving from the car at your parents who stood on the porch. they seemed satisfied. and you? you had never been more in love.
“can’t wait to rip those tight jeans off your body and fuck you like a bitch.” jake winked and started to drive away. “i’m looking forward to the toothless viagra boosted blowjobs too, that’s gonna feel divine.” 
you slapped his thigh and he moaned in pain. you rested your hand there and he brought it to his lips, planting a soft kiss.
“welcome to the family.” you repeated.

A Babysitter’s Job
Fandom: Marvel (Babysitter AU)
Pairing: Chubby!Bucky Barnes x Reader
Summary: You look after Bucky's 6 year old son, Grant and Bucky has quite the liking to you.
Warning: smut ;)
A/N: as always, i’m tagging @cametobuyplums since it’s a chubby!bucky fic
Tumblr media
Bucky was anxious to get home. His body was yelling at him to go to sleep, but another part of him was yelling even louder to stay awake and get home to see them.
Ever since the divorce, things haven't been great with Bucky. He's been working nonstop to pay off the lawyers as well as to have enough money to provide for his son, Grant. It was tough work being a single parent, but he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, because Grant Barnes was his world.
Bucky's body was buzzing as he rolled up into the driveway and put his car in park. He grabbed his things and rushed to the door. His keys jingling as he inserted the key and the door swung open with ease.
"Daddy!!" pitter patters of feet echoed through the house as a small boy of six, the exact replica of Bucky, came running towards him.
Bucky knelt down, catching his son, "Hey, buddy! Whatcha up to?"
"Y/N and I are making dinner!"
"Oh yeah? What's for dinner?"
"Pasghetti!"
Bucky chuckled at his son's mispronunciation, ruffling the chestnut locks that matched his own, "Sounds delicious, Grant. Can you lead me to the kitchen?" Grant nodded and pulled on Bucky's hand down the hall and to the right.
Grant stepped into the kitchen while Bucky remained in the threshold watching as you sway your hips to the music coming from your phone, your hand stirring what Bucky assumes to be the spaghetti sauce.
Grant walks over to you, tugs at your shirt and points towards Bucky, "Look, Y/N! Daddy's home!"
You look over your should, a soft smile on your lips that renders Bucky speechless and frozen, "Good evening, James."
Bucky holds back a groan, not one of distaste, but one of pleasure. He usually hates when people call him James, but hearing it from you? It's so sensual. He loves it. You’re a pretty, young thing, ten years younger than him and he tried to fight his feelings for you, but you make it so easy to fall for you.
He clears his throat and finally steps forward into the kitchen, "Evening, Y/N. I told you you didn't have to make dinner."
You shrugged, "I know, but Grant was getting hungry and I also figured you'd be too tired from work to make something."
His heart warmed at the sweet gesture, "Thank you, Y/N. You're a real peach, ya know that?"
You giggle as you give him a shrug, "It's no big deal, James. Really. Anyway, I'm just about done. I'll let you guys eat and I'll be on my way." You turn off the stove and move over to Grant, squatting down to give him a hug, "I'll see you tomorrow, G-man."
Bucky cleared his throat and stepped forward, "You could stay...have dinner with us? I-I don't mind." He nervously flattens down his button up shirt, his hands running down the roundness of his stomach. After having Grant and the divorce, Bucky hates that he lost his figure and can't seem to find the time to get back into shape. Maybe-
"I don't want to be a bother." You say to Bucky.
He softly smiles at you, "You're never a bother, Y/N."
Grant tugs at your arms pleading, "Please stay for dinner, Y/N!"
You giggled and scooped Grant up into his arms, "Well, how can I say no to you, G-man?"
____________________________________
Throughout dinner, Bucky kept his eyes on you and Grant. He absolutely adored how you interacted with his son. You were so loving and caring it was as if Grant was your own. 
“Right, daddy?”
Bucky was caught like a deer in headlights, his eyes wide and he look slightly startled as you and Grant looked back at him, “Wh-huh?”
You giggled and Bucky could feel a blush creeping up his neck and cheeks, “Looks like your dad was busy daydreaming, sweetheart.” you moved some of Grant’s locks out of his face.
Grant giggled, “It’s okay, daddy. I daydream lots too.”
Bucky continued to watch you and Grant bond as dinner progressed. 
Within thirty minutes, Grant was nearly falling asleep in his bowl of spaghetti. While you cleaned up, Bucky picked up his son and took him to bed. After you put the leftovers into a tupperware, you moved to the sink to do the dishes. 
Your mind was so focused on scrubbing off the stains of the red, tomato sauce, do you didn’t hear Bucky creep up behind you. You gasped when his arms circled around your waist. 
He chuckled, “Sorry, sweetheart.” 
You splashed some water back at him, “Jerk. Is Grant in bed?”
Bucky nodded, “Fast asleep,” he mumbled as he leaned in and kissed your neck, “Couldn’t stop thinking about you all day at work. How beautiful you look under me, begging for me to make you cum,” he groans as he grinds his crotch into your back, his fingers digging into your waist. 
You giggle, “Down, boy, At least let me finish the dishes.”
“Leave ‘em. I’ll do them...after I do you.”
You grab the hand towel to dry your hands, tossing it onto the counter and turning around in Bucky’s arms, “It’s a deal.”
Bucky immediately pulls you towards him, his lips against yours in a heated kiss. What you two have...it’s new. It all started when you walked in on Bucky in the bathroom, jerking himself off, your name falling from his lips. He made you see stars right there in that bathroom. 
That was a month ago and you two have been sleeping with each other ever since. You wanted more, both of you wanted more, but you didn’t know how Grant would feel, his babysitter and dad dating, being together. So you two kept it a secret from him for now, enjoying your time together after the six year old was put to bed. 
Your hands worked quickly on undoing Bucky’s belt and slacks, pushing them down only far enough to free his hardening cock. You slid to your knees, kneeling before the man who appeared to be so shy and soft on the outside, but was really a complete and total beast in bed. 
“Fuck, princess,” Bucky groaned as your tongue swirled along his tip, his dick growing harder and harder until he was full erect in your hands, “I know you can take more of me, you lil’ tease.”
You winked and lowered your mouth further onto his cock, your nose hitting his round belly, one hand fondling his balls while the other gripped his thigh. You loved watching Bucky like this, coming completely undone by your mouth and hands.
“Goddammit, your mouth is so fucking good, baby girl,” he growled, “So hungry for my cock, huh?” he grips your hair by the roots, making your head still, and he thrusts hard into your mouth. You relax your jaw and breath through your nose so you wouldn’t gag. Bucky grits his teeth together when he feels himself poke at the back of your throat.
“So good for me, princess. Want my cum down your throat, huh? That what you want?”
You nod, while his dick was still inside you and he chuckles, “Don’t worry, sweetness, you’ll get my cum. I’m nearly there. Oh shit, Y/N.” he closes his eyes and lets his head hang back in pleasure while he continues to fuck your face. 
Like when you found him in the bathroom, your name is falling from his lips.
“Y/N, oh fuck, Y/N. Baby, that’s it. Gonna cum. Agh fuck! Y/N! Y/N!” he gives three sharp thrusts as his cum spurts onto your tongue and down your throat. He holds you there for a minute, making sure that no drop is wasted, and then pulls out of your mouth, a string of saliva following. 
You hum as you swallow every last bit of him, opening your mouth and showing proof. 
“Mmmm. That’s my good girl.”
“Daddy?” Bucky and you freeze when you hear Grant’s voice. He’s rubbing his eyes and standing at the kitchen’s threshold, “What’re you doing?”
You quickly wipe your mouth with the back of your hand and look over at Grant, “Your, uh, dad hit his leg on the chair and I was kissing it better.”
Grant sleepily nods, “You okay now, daddy?”
Bucky gulps and nervously smiles at his son over his shoulder, “Yeah, buddy. Um, did you have a bad dream?”
“No. I don’t know where Captain A-bear-ica is.”
You stand up, helping Bucky tuck himself back in and fix up his pants, “Daddy will help you look for him upstairs and I’ll look for him down here, okay, G-man?”
Bucky checked himself one last time and then gave you a nod as he led Grant back upstairs. You let out a breath of relief and walked over to the living room, immediately spotting Captain A-bear-ica by the tv. You grab it and head upstairs towards Grant’s room. 
You knock on the door, stepping inside, “Hey, looks like Captain A-bear-ica wanted to watch some tv before bed, but I told him it was time to sleep. So here ya go, honey.”
Grant takes the bear and hugs your legs, “Thank you, Y/N.”
You ruffle his hair before he heads back to his bed, “You’re welcome, sweetheart. Goodnight.”
Bucky gives you a nod and mouths to you, “I’ll see you downstairs.” You nod back and head down there.
Twenty minutes go by and you’re ready to leave. You grab your jacket, slipping it on, and slinging your purse over your shoulder. You then put on your shoes and as soon as you look up, Bucky’s walking over to you. 
He chuckled, “That was close.”
“I’ll say.”
Bucky pulls you in and pressing a kiss to your lips, “I’ll see you tomorrow?” he grabs your hand and hands you some cash.
You shake your head, “James, I told you you don’t have to-”
“I know, but...this is for you to buy something nice to wear. I..I’m gonna take you out on a date. I talked with Steve at work, Grant will sleepover the night there and we,” his hands slide up and down your sides, “are gonna have the entire night to ourselves.”
“Now that I can’t refuse.” you peck his lips one last time and open the door, stepping out, “Oh, and I also finished those dishes.”
Bucky shakes his head and chuckles, “You’re too good for me, ya know that?”
You gave him a shrug and a wink and you were out to your car. You gave him one last wave before hopping in and driving away. Bucky is really glad he hired you to be his babysitter.

“Fragile, But Not Weak”
Part 7 - Her POV
Summary and Notes, Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven, Part Eight
Pairing: Fenrir Godspeed and Delinquent!Alice
Word count: 2710 words
Tagging: @christmaswarlock @midnightcradle @pianoperson @wishiwasfictionaltoo​ @plumpblueberry @bumbleberry-jamboree @forenah-gaijin @the-cashewpeia and @5-of-spades​ i’m so sorry this was a week late, i got into art a lil too much and i deadass forgot about this AAAAAA as usual, thanks again so much for the lovely comments you left on the previous one (´⌣`ʃƪ)♡
⊱ ──── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ──── ⊰
I was offered a lovely room, its interiors astonishingly decorated by the single bright, beautiful flower growing amongst the smelly, messy army men. Seth had a big smile on his face as I took in the sight. "Seth! This room is so beautiful!"
"It is, isn't it? I put my all in making it perfect just for you~" He sings as he smiles brightly at me. He places my bags down by the closet and turns back at me. "After all, a woman's safe haven is her room! Its the only place where she'd be comfortable."
He then walked towards me and gently holds my hands. "I know its overwhelming to stay in a place filled with brute men, but I can assure you that you can come to me whenever you need help. I'm the Big Sis of this ruckus of an army, and I'd be more than glad to help you, Alice."
"Big..Sis?" I asked very softly, unsure of what he was talking about.
"Oh, please don't get the wrong idea, I'm a man through and through!"
"I'm sorry for taking it the wrong way." I apologize as I start to look away from him.
"Its alright, Alice." He puts his finger underneath my chin and gently pulls my face upwards. Our eyes were fixated on each other for a moment and I felt like I was being pulled in a trance. "Come on now, I'm pretty sure that you're starved! You need to eat as much as you can~" He starts dragging me out of the room.
When Seth opened the doors to the kitchen, I was astounded by the huge amount of food placed on the long dining table. There was so much food, my stomach started to growl and my mouth drooled . "Come on Alice! Its time to eat!" Godspeed calls me over.
"What's happening? Why is there so much food?" I ask as I walk towards him. He had the biggest grin on his face as Ray holds his shoulder.
"We're having a welcome party for you." Ray answers and gives me a soft smile.
"A party?" My mouth drops open. I blinked several times, Why would they throw a party for me?
"You're officially part of the Black Army now, Alice!" Godspeed puts his arm around me and ruffles my hair with his other hand.
"W-wait wait, hold on, I didn't say anything about taking a side in this war." I remove his hand from my shoulder and grip his wrist tightly. He winces a little and looks at me worriedly.
"You aren't taking any sides, Alice. Don't worry." Sirius's calm voice "Just because you're here doesn't mean you have to fight. We promised to protect you, like family." His smile grows as he says the last word.
Why are you so nice?
"Now, enough with this war talk! You said you were starving, let's eat!" Seth pulls me to a chair beside where Luka sat. Cheers erupted in the dining area and I scanned the faces of these soldiers. They vowed to protect and keep me safe, even if they don't know who I am.
It felt surreal and overwhelming, I'm not dreaming, right? Unbridled emotions swelled in my chest and for the first time, it wasn't from fear nor regret. What good have I done? Do I deserve this kindness?
"What's wrong, Alice?" Luka asks softly.
"Oh! Nothing! I was just.. overwhelmed." I quickly plaster a smile on my face when I turned to look at him. Hunger got the best of me so I didn´t waste another second and indulged the savory and aromatic meals in front of me. "This is so good!" I say through my full mouth, unable to hide my amazement.
"I'm so glad you like it." Luka smiles at me. The fatigue that I was feeling  seemed to dissipate at each bite, recharging my energy and I've never felt so content.
"Woah, you really have such an amazing smile!" Godspeed exclaims out of the blue, making me almost choke on my own breath.
"Excuse me, what?" A chuckle erupts from my throat as I look up at him. He was seated across from me and had a goofy grin on his face. "Where did that come from?"
"Please don't think I lied, it was an honest compliment." He winks. A loud laugh slips from his lips and it was infectious. I stopped myself from laughing, but I couldn't help but grin. How dare he use my card against me. "Did that get ya?" He smirks at me as he wipes off the stray sauce from his upper lip with his thumb.
"Off guard, yes. Romantically, try again next time." It was my turn to wink and smirk at him, then we laughed at each other.
"Alice," Seth calls and I turn to him. "If it's okay, we'd like to know more about you." He has a soft smile on his face as he eats a spoonful.
"Well," I start. "In the Land of Reason, I work at a confectionery because I really like sugary food." I chuckle. "So when I decided to reside here, I wanted to continue my career."
"Other than being the sweet confectionery girl, what else do you do here in Cradle?" Sirius asks.
"Um, well, mess around in disguise?" I shyly answered, feeling my cheeks burn. "B-but I only do so because some soldiers slack off during their patrols!"
"Hey!" The man I'd thrown eggs at two nights ago reacts. I sink further down in the chair, suddenly ashamed of myself. Without my mask, I felt so vulnerable. "We don't slack off!"
"Yeah, I'd love to talk to the lady you were hogging off at the market about your duty." My mouth spits out the words without me thinking. My hands immediately cover my mouth and I glance over at the man, his cheeks flushed and his mouth agape.
"Your reaction to her statement proved that she was telling the truth." Sirius looks over at the man who sat back down to his chair. "We'll talk later."
"I'm sorry." I whispered to no one.
"You're not yourself without your mask, huh?" I hear Godspeed say as he places his elbow by the table and leans his chin on it. He had a smug smile on his face, he watched me as I try to sit properly. I hate how you read through me that quick, dammit.
"I'm too exposed to do anything stupid, my image would be ruined." I pout and reach for a glass of water.
"Have you always been a delinquent?" He asks, his tone serious but a smile still apparent on his face.
"Well, I guess, but not to the extent that I've become a criminal whatsoever." I breathe in. "Me and my friends were characterized as chaotic good, meaning, we have good intentions, but we do it differently and usually in a not so good way." A smile creeps on my face as I remembered the good days when everything was okay. "We do have rules though; we only mess with people, not hurt them. We replace things, not steal them. We usually do these things if we see something that isn’t right, or if we just want to have fun.”
"So you throwing that egg was something that you thought you did for the good?" Ray chuckles.
"Yeah, I'd like to think so. It was a bit rude that someone started shooting me for it." I eye Godspeed, who raises an eyebrow at me.
"Hey, I didn't know why you did it and you insulted my men. It was on instinct!" He exclaims defensively.
"Sure, you gun-shooting maniac." Seth rolls his eyes and Godspeed frowns at him.
"You wanna go?" He rolls his sleeve and clenches his fist.
"That looks like fun." I smile through the fork on my lips and watch them bicker back and forth, resulting in an arm wrestling match in seconds. The soldiers started to cheer and take sides, betting on who would win.
"Winner gets to be with Alice for a day!" Godspeed chips and Seth smiles, his feminine demeanor vanishing.
"If that's the case, you won't last a second!" Seth rolls his sleeve and places his elbow on the table, right in front of him.
"Hey now, I'm not a prize." I stood from my seat. "..but I'd love to see how this would turn out." I walk near them and witness their fight.
"Who's side are you on?" Sirius asks.
"I'd like to say Godspeed, but Seth is the 10 of Spades for a reason." I say as I look up at the taller man. Ray was beside him, cheering on his best buddy.
"That's good thinking, little lady." He pats my head and we watch the two fight, Godspeed's arms were slightly leaning down, but he's fighting as strong as he can. Through gritted teeth, I could see their amusement and willpower.
"Hear that Fenrir? Alice is on my side, give up now!" I could see Seth flex his muscles harder, making Godspeed struggle.
"Not fair! Ahh dammit. Another win for Seth!" Godspeed admits his defeat as Seth pushes his arm down. He immediately skips towards me and holds my hands.
"We're going shopping tomorrow Alice, its coincidentally my day off! It must be fate~" He hugs me and I giggle, memories of my old friends resonate to my heart and it aches with joy. I've missed this feeling.
"That sounds lovely! I can't wait!"
"You seem like you're used to being around men, do you have brothers?" Sirius asks as we walk to the lounge.
"I don't. I have a sister though, but we have a lot of guy friends — most of my friends are, actually." I smile at him and put my arms underneath my chest.
"When did you learn how to fight?" Godspeed asks as he stretches the arm he used to wrestle with Seth. "You kicked those Magic Disciples' asses with your bare hands!"
"My friends taught me how to defend myself, there were a lot of similar encounters back in my world. Minus the magic, though." I plop down the sofa and Luka hands me a strawberry and cream cake slice.
"I hope its as good as your expectations." He smiles sweetly at me and my heart nearly felt like it was gonna burst.
The men of the Black Army weren't a ruckus as Kyle had described them as. They're super sweet and generous, hospitable and very fun to be with. I actually felt at home and it's only been two hours since I got here. Do I really deserve this? Or is something gonna take this feeling away the moment I start to relish in it?
I took a bite from the cake and felt the sweet delicacy, balanced with the strawberry flavors and creamy texture, exactly how I like my cakes. "Luka! This cake is amazing!" I can feel my smile growing wider as I kept on taking another bite, my sweet tooth craving for more of the treat.
"Aww Luka's all red and blushing!" Seth teases him and I see him look away from me with a pout on his face. For a moment, he really did look like the Queen of Hearts. He tries to say something but he stutters, deciding to leave us in the lounge and went to what I assume was the kitchen.
"Is he gonna be okay?" I ask as I place the plate down by the nearby table.
"Yeah, he usually doesn't like being around too many people. He'll come around." Godspeed says confidently, beaming up at me.
After a few more hours of eating, I excused myself to go outside to breathe for a moment.
A gust of cool wind flutters the ends of my dress a little, inviting me to bask in the afternoon light. I pondered on the sweet emotions that grew in my chest, feeling my cheeks hurt from constantly smiling so much. Times like this had been very rare — almost like a luxury — ever since the fire. I wonder if I can make this feel a little longer, Maybe I should take Kyle's advice.
"Need some company, lady?"
On second thought, nevermind.
"Not really, but I don't mind." I look up at Godspeed as he sits beside me on the stairs to the courtyard.
"Did ya drink your medicine?" A small smile grows on his face.
"Oh shoot, I forgot." I gasp and I immediately got up, but I was stopped when he grabs my arm. He shows my pill bottle and a bottle of water. "Aww thanks." I smile at him and reach for it, but as I was gonna grab for it, he pulls them away.
"But first — answer me something." His expression turns serious all of a sudden, startling me. "You're too comfortable around Seth and the others, wouldn't Kyle be mad if he found out?"
Wait, what?
"Ha..?" I could barely even form a proper reaction. What was he talking about?
"You and Kyle are together right? I won't consent you to cheating— " He says this with a straight face and it was almost laughable.
"WAIT ONE SECOND GODSPEED." I almost scream as laughter erupts from my throat. "Me? And Kyle? Together? What made you think of such a thing?" More laughter rose from my chest and I had to sit down to clutch on to my aching stomach.
"Wait what?" It was his turn to be confused now. "You two aren't together?" Something in his tone changed, but I ignored it. I kept laughing until there was no longer any sound coming out of my mouth.
"No! He's my doctor and I'm his patient. That's all there is." I wipe away the tears that leaked from my eyes. "Plus, neither of us are interested in having a love affair whatsoever." I start to calm down and take deep breaths to cool myself down.
"Ah geez, I got really worried about that." He chuckles and he finally gives me my medicine. I check its label to see if it was the correct one, before taking one pill out and tossing it into my mouth. I take a few gulps of water and close the bottle cap.
"That was something I never knew I would hear, you really are an idiot." I giggle as I hand Godspeed my pill bottle.
"Hey!" He pouts at me.
"It was a joke!" I reached my hand out to his head and started messing it terribly.
"Hey stop!" He holds both of my wrists, leaning close to my face with a dissatisfied look and I laughed in response. "What's that for, lady? Geez!" He lets go of one hand and desperately tried to fix his hair in vain.
"For messing with mine, dimwit." I pointed at the stray away locks on my head and stuck my tongue out at him. He rolls his eyes and pulls away, shoving the pill bottle in his inner jacket pocket and a grin was painted on his face. "Thanks for reminding me about that."
"No worries. I did promise to keep you well."
"Why are you guys so nice?" I asked hesitantly. The grin on my face almost felt natural again and I couldn't stop anymore.
"Well if it meant we could see you smile that brightly, we'd spoil you rotten with kindness." He chuckles as he watches the sun slowly start to set. The way his eyes shone against the last orange rays of the sun was just as enchanting as a magic crystal glimmering underneath the moonlight. He almost looked like he was glowing with the sun just by his side, outlining him like he was from a painting. His magenta hair swayed lightly against the wind and he looked amazing. There's no point in hiding how breathtakingly attractive he is — now I can see why the noble women that often visited the confectionery gush so much about him.
"We should head back inside, dinner will be ready soon and if you want the best meals, better be there early!" He then grabs my hand again and pulls me back, a fit of giggles erupting from me.

You Made Ur Bed 8
Episode 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6 , 7
A/N: excuse the typos and grammer, and curse me out later for making you wait so long
After the ceremony at Davida House
OMG Sean, you should have been there.Y/N  was there being a total slut damn near sucking this nigga dick-
She stopped in her tracks when Sean jerked up wiping his nose. Davida looked behind him, and all she could see was a mirror with two white powder lines and a playing card.
"Sean, I KNOW you aren't doing what I think your doing, I thought you quit that." "I did but I just don't it recreational, plus I'm bored as fuck." "Well, how but getting a job." "You know how hard it is for a felon to get one, they see that on my app and its, don't call us we'll call you' type bullshit." "But bae you can keep you from trying I'm mean I got my ticket, she exclaimed rubbing her stomach, you need to get yours, I don't need some sorry nigga eating off my plate." "The fuck you say, I wasn't any sorry nigga when I had you in the diamonds n furs, dripping sauce. Nigga gon for some time and bitches want to get amnesia. "Yeah well times have changed, she said getting up taking off her jewelry, you need to get it together and clean that shit up now!"
Sean angrily cleaned the mess up and walked out of the room slamming the door hard.
One week after the pool incident at Eriks house
You sprained your ankle and fractured your elbow and a laceration above your right eye. You had a cast on your ankle and the sling on right arm and stitches for your cut. Against your wishes, Erik insisted you stay to get better and even took off to nurse you. He has been waiting on hand and foot and doing the sweet thing like washing n oiling your hair and make sure your cast was dry as he gave you luxurious bubble baths and even carried you to the bathroom. But you knew Erik this is his whole game to get you to stay.
You sat in the bedroom on the bed fluff high on pillows while Erik was in the other room. You needed something on the dresser but you didn't want to bother Erik, plus he was smothering so you were going to take advantage of his absence. As you reached, you fell out bed with a loud thud. You never felt so helpless and began to weep. Erik ran upstairs to see you on the floor as he picked you up you start to get angry.
"Get the fuck away from me," you sobbed as tried your best to hit him in the chest.
"Girl wtf is wrong you!" "YOU, YOU THE FUCKING CAUSE FOR THIS!", pointing to the cast and moving the sling. "This is your fault because of your fucked up ego." "Well, I did think you would jump." You looked at him, and before you blew a gasket, you calmed down, "You know what, you said coolly if I didn't make it it would have been a lot better than to married to you." Erik looked you in the eyes hoping to see the humor, but you were dead serious. "You don't mean that Y/N." "Oh yes I do, this marriage has gone to hell. I don't know why I stayed this long with your cheating ass and constant lying. You think Davida was the only one, I knew about the others, I know when you were out fucking them hoes ERIK!. I'd find hints: the perfume, lipstick, the missing earring in your car. I noticed the way you shower, or you were smelling like a different, soap I don't even buy. I just let you do your thing as long as they never had the guts to step out place I was cool, cause at the end of the day you are going to do what you want to do and you were home every night mainly. But you started to get reckless and shit with Davida, so I figured you weren't giving a fuck anymore. And had the bitch calling the house and your fucking student at that! The fuck was you thinking; you were about to risk it all for some broad? Really?!
Erik looks away, before answering.
"She reminded me of you before you lost the baby. She had that happiness, that joy, that light you once had. We clicked like me, and you used to."
You rolled your eyes at his last statement. He continued.
"After the incident, you became bitter and once you started drinking you was like a shell. Like I understand she went, and nothing will bring her back, but you got to move on. It was never my intentions to get her pregnant we stopped after a few times then she tells me. I love you more than anything; I'll do whatever I can to right my wrongs. But I will be a father to my child."
"You wanna right your wrongs, grant me a divorce. Well split everything down the middle and keep control of our organizations."
"You sure you want that"
"Yes I can't keep going on like this, I love you, but I can't be in a marriage with you."
Erik looked deep in thought. He sighed, "Okay if that's what you want. I won't hold you back."
Next day at Davida's House
"So how far are you now?" Erik asked. I'm 35 weeks so our Lil boy will be here soon," Davida answered excitedly.
"Cool well when you are going on your next appointment I'll be there. I'll be over later to help set the crib and baby stuff."
"I need you to set up something in my bedroom," Davida answered back seductively.
Erik catching the hint but didn't feed into it, "yeah like I said I'll be over to put the BABY stuff up."
"Mhmm, well see you soon boo." "Don't call me that," and he hung up quickly.
Davida just laughed as she put her phone in the car seat as she pulled up her driveway. She parked the car and remembered she had to set a date in the phone at the same time entering her front door. She didn't notice the five large men sitting on her furniture. She looked up from her phone and grabbed her chest as fear and shock took over her whole body.
"Who are you and why the fuck are you in my house?!"
"Be cool sweetheart," the smaller of the five spoke. He physically fit but wasn't as buff as the others." I'm Mike Love and we just looking for ya boy Sean that's all."
"I don't know a Sean." "See, I'm trying to be a gentleman here but you're lying is going to turn this into an UGLY situation, and you don't want that." Mike said coolly as he walked towards her stroking Davida's cheek. "Now I'll never hit a lady especially a pregnant one, but I can't say the same for my guys. They weren't born with sense." "I don't know where he is I swear, I go to school and work part-time," he goes where he wants to, tears streaming down her face. "Shhhh it's okay love I believe you. But you tell Sean to get at me asap; I'd hate to come back here again and next it is not going to be as pleasant."
Mike turned to his goons and told them to leave and just like that they were gone. Davida ran to lock the door behind them and sunk to the floor a blubbering mess.
Four weeks later at the lawyer's office.
Well, I have to say this was the smoothest divorce ever an easy way to make my paycheck." Erik lawyer comments as he finalized the paperwork.
Erik and Y/N sat across from each other. Neither of them looked up as it was too sad to look each other in the eyes. Erik was the most hurt, he felt betrayed, he felt like he was trying and Y/n was giving up months of progress screwed up by two days. He couldn't fathom life without y/n she had been with him since day one, she believed in his projects, his dreams and wished he could have given her whatever she wanted. So he cheated little fuck up compare to the husband his friends were. Even in the pants suit, she was wearing she looked like a goddess and all he wanted to do to take her away forget all this drama and start over.
Y/n could feel Erik staring. After all these years he could still make her blood rush just by one look. She always loved Erik deeply but how many times can he spit in her face. Plus being careless enough to get someone pregnant, the audacity of it.
She felt a nudge pulling her out of her deep thoughts.
"What's that." "I said do you, and Mr. Stevens agree to the terms of the divorce?" My lawyer repeated. "Oh yeah, I'm good are you?", Y/n said finally looking up at Erik. He nodded, and we both signed the papers.
"Well that's it you two are no longer hitched. Haha, I must say I've done sooner if only my wife wouldn't take everything. Women right." He playfully nudged Erik and Erik only stared at him.
The lawyers began to leave the room and Erik, and y/n lingered in the room.
Well this is it, Erik said
Y/n leaned against the table arms folded
"I guess so huh." "I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a goodbye hug?" "No, it wouldn't."
Erik walked over in two strides stood in front of y/n and hugged her. He head protectively rested on top of hers as y/n slowly wrapped her arms around his chest. They stood like that for a minute until Erik kissed her forehead. Y/n leaned her head back some allowing Erik to kiss her nose; she leaned back until Erik pecked her lips. He pecked them again seeing as she didn't protest the first time. The third time he let his lips lingered as she kissed back. That's all he needed for confirmation. He gently grabbed her hair pulling her head back some allowing access to her neck. He kissed and sucked on her neck as if he was a vamp on his victim. They were too busy to hear the conversation of one the lawyers doubling back to find something. Once the door flew open, they immediately stop while Y/N's lawyer just stared as if they crazy, while Erik's lawyer smirk and closed the door.
Regaining common sense and more so embarrassed y/n pushed Erik back and fixed her shirt chastising herself while doing so. Erik just looked more frustrated as he fixed his coat. No words being said to each other as they head out of the office when they got to the elevators and stood on the opposite corners. Erik spoke first.
"Well, I hope we can friends after all this." "I don t know about that." "Aww come on y/n," he said walking towards her, "we have known each other for too long just to stop being each friend." "But u sneaky tho." Erik feined shock, "Me no," and he flashed those golden slugs and mischievous smile the y/n knew all too well. She laughed knowing this could be nice. "Yea whatever"
At Davida house two weeks back
Sean pulls in the driveway days after disappearing. Davida was waiting on him. Sean thought he could sneak through the patio. As soon he turned on the lights a glass cup was hurled at him, but he dodged it quickly.
"What the fuck." : What the fuck is right where have you been?!" Davida mocked furiously.
"I had some moves to do." "Liar u smell clean as fuck, so been u at somebody house, but I don't care who is Mike love and why the FUCK was he in MY house.
Sean's hearts stop. That's one name he did not want hear.
What did you say Nigga you heard me who is Mike Davida listens, Sean grabbed hold of her shoulders. I pissed off some significant and dangerous people, and for your safety and mine, I should not be here. Damn right u shouldn't, niggas come up in here seven deep, just what the fuck did you do? You remember Physco from our old neighborhood? You mean walk around with a machete in broad daylight Physco, him?! Yea well I had an opportunity to blame something on his baby brother in jail. I didnt know they were related, but word got around and by that time I was long gone.  
Feeling like an ass, Davida felt more sympathy for Sean. All this time she was hard, and he had a deathwish looming. She knew what he was up against and Physco was the type he wasn't gonna stop til there was blood.
Well, here I got some money n take my car. Take your car?! Yes, take it, ill tell Erik it was stolen n ill get another besides your safety is important to me. Ok but id have to go tonight. Tonight?! Yeah Davida sucked her teeth fine She went upstairs to her safe, put the code in pulled out 30,000 her women intuition was screaming "heffa are you crazy," but her heart wanted him to be safe. She wanted to travel with him, but the dangers that followed were enough to keep her back. She put the money in a crown royal bag along with the keys to her car and the passport and falsified documents that he asked him to do a while back when he was job hunting. She ran back down and gave it to Sean. He looked apologetically as he was taking away from a pregnant woman, sensing his hesitation she spoke. Please take it and when you get to a safe place ill come.
They embrace in what seems like the worlds longest kiss. Sean rushed out to the garage. Once he cranked the car and sped down the block, he never noticed the black Lambo following him. As the road twist and turned the car behind never missed a beat, and since they were the only two on the road, it was hard to lose them on a one-way street. Sean knew exactly who it was and turned off into the woods. Once he got deep enough, he turned the car off and lit a cigarette. Now or never he thought. As the Lambo neared the headlights nearly blinded him in the rearview mirror. He took his last drag as the passenger door to the Lambo opened up. Out stood Mike and Sean opened his door. The two men walked to each other and embraced in a lovers kiss! The tongue kiss was so explicit that the guard in the car started to get a little uncomfortable.
Omg bae I missed you, Mike said So have I, Sean replied So did u get the documents, Mike asked Of course, plus she gave me the car, you must scare the crap out of her. Well, I had to sell it. Breaking into her house, in that neighborhood, with five niggas was hard as hell. But worth it now that got my baby back. Let's go Paris awaits. Well what can we do car Either take it with us or better yet torch it, makes it more believable something happens to you. But she gave me this car Mike was getting slightly jealous, "And!?" Well I just don't want to torch it "Fuck that I'll take care of it," Mike walked towards the guard in his car mumbling, "Nigga act like he still loves the bitch or something!" "Hey!" motioning towards the guard. " I want to get rid of this car I don't care what you do I don't want to see it my sight again. SEAN!! let's go!"
The guard got out, and Mike and Sean got in the Lambo and drove off. The guard was left by himself in the car.
"Shit nigga crazy as hell baby mama bout to get a new whip!"
Present Day (After the Erik's and Y/N divorce agreement)
So your car was stolen?" Erik asked in disbelief as he works putting up the baby's crib and other items as Davida told her story sitting in a rocking chair. Erik made sure she didnt lift a finger, and she enjoyed every minute of it.
Yes, would you believe, right in my friend's neighborhood, I had to take an Uber home? I knew I should have stayed my ass home, told that girl to move out the projects.
Well, luckily you and the baby are safe. Ill hook you up I got a cousin who works for Honda.
Honda? The fuck! Do you want your baby mother and your heir riding around in some raggedy Honda? Because if I pulled child support, I can afford more.
It will be a current year! he pleaded. She stared at him motherfuckerly.
Alright, what you want? he asked
Momma wants a Benz!
Momma gonna have to clap them cheeks and suck a mean dick, and I mean to make that shit disappear for a Benz.
Aint like I done it before, Davida laughed, so how your wife anyway
Don't worry about her; he said what quick attitude.
Damn alright, I got to go to the bathroom, help me up these damn cramps killing me.
Cramps! What do you mean you in labor?
Not till the water breaks
As soon as she stood up she felt another cramp not so intense but bad enough to double over, Erik kept her steady.
I think we should go, do you have your things packed?
Yea in the downstairs closet in the foyer
Erik went to retrieve the bag as Davida wobbled to the restroom. She felt pressure and pushed thinking it was #2 when she got up she almost fainted at sight.

HEY YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS. SO. POP QUIZ. 🦆 What is Jake’s favorite food that Kara makes? What is Karas’s favorite food that Jake makes? Whose cookin does Molly Llama prefer?
OH BOY! COMMENCE FLUFF WAR 2018! @ooo-barff-ooo @zaffrenotes YA SHOULDA LEFT THE SLEEPING FLUFF LAY.
Let’s call this: 
Mama or Daddy…or Llama?
Jake and Kara sat on the porch withMolly, waiting for Rebecca to pull up, Molly sitting in Jake’s lap,squishing his cheeks between her chubby hands, and laughinguncontrollably at the faces he was pulling. Kara watched them with asmile, one hand resting on her belly where they’d recently learnedthat not one but two little wolf cubs were growing, her other handtwined with Jake’s as they rocked slowly on the swing. It was abeautiful late September afternoon with bright sunshine and just thehint of a cool breeze blowing through the trees and the plethora ofpurple blossoms that adorned their yard. She sometimes couldn’tbelieve that this was their life; that they’d gone through the hellthat they’d gone through, had made it off the island and throughtheir six years of agony…that they’d found each other again andthat they were building a home and a family made from pure love andtrue joy. Looking at the man beside her, at the way his skin had juststarted to wrinkle near his eyes from smiling, at the way his chinand face were covered in two days worth of growth because it was theweekend and he wasn’t wasting Molly time with shaving, at the coffeestain on his t-shirt that he hadn’t bothered to do anything about,and she fell even more in love with him. She sometimes saw everymoment that they’d ever shared and every moment that they mightsomeday share, echo in his eyes when he laughed or when he kissed heror when he held their daughter, and she struggled to contain thefullness that it made her feel.
She looked at Molly, at her perfectlittle face, always smiling and laughing. Her big blue eyes were theexact same shade as  her Daddy’s, but her hair was platinum blondelike Kara’s, and Jake liked to call them his angels with blondehalos. “Dadda, yama, mama,” she said over and over again,squishing his cheeks between each word. Kara giggled to herselfremembering when she heard Molly’s first word a few months ago. She’dbecome a babbling brook since then, but that first word will alwaysbe one of Kara’s favorite moments…and Jake’s. He found ithilarious.
“YAMA!” She had yelled, loud andclear and with intent, and Kara of course assumed that she wasshouting Mama, as she was standing right in front of her, feeding herthe sweet potatoes that she was mostly wearing. She jumped andgrabbed her phone to call Jake, checking the time to confirm that hewas taking his lunch break. He picked up on the first ring, like healways did when he saw her name flash across the screen. 
“Hey Princess, how are my girls?”he asked, chewing the sandwich Kara had made for him that morning- aturkey sandwich with mayo, onions and spinach. It was his favoritething that she made for him, because it was the first thing she evermade for him. Having had no past, she had no past experience withcooking, and in those first few weeks of adjusting to human domesticlife, assembling a sandwich was about the extent of her cookingprowess. But Jake loved her sandwiches, because they reminded him ofgetting her back, of feeling her in his arms after missing her for solong.
“Well,” she answered through hersmile, “Take a listen,” she held the phone up to Molly. “Moll,tell Daddy what you just said, ‘lil llama!” She could hear Jakeeven though the phone was away from her ear. She’s talkin’? Mike!I gotta go! Yeah, now! Molly’s talkin’! Shepulled the phone back to her ear. “You’re coming home? ”
“Youbet your ass, princess, I’m not lettin’ you have this one all toyourself!”
Tenminutes later he was coming in through the screen door, letting itbang shut behind him. “Where are my girls? I wanna hear what my‘lil llama has to say to her Daddy.” He was absolutely beaming ashe joined them in the kitchen where Kara was wiping the orangeremains of Molly’s lunch from her arms and cheeks.
“We’regreat, listen, Molly has something to tell you!”
“Whatchagot, Miss Llama?” he asked, stooping down to her level in thehighchair and giving her a noisy kiss on the cheek.
“YAMA!”she shouted again, clapping her hands.
“Shesaid Mama! Jake, she’s saying Mama!” Kara was practically bouncingup and down on her toes, clapping along with their daughter.
“Yama,Yaaaamaaaaa YAMA!” Molly excitedly chanted in a sing song voice,causing Jake to double over with laughter. He ruffled Molly’s soft,fluffy hair before standing and scooping Kara up in his arms.
“What’sso funny, there, Daddy? You jealous that our little girl said Mamafirst?” She was smiling out of her mind.
“Darlin’,you know how much I love you, right?” he tucked a piece of her hairbehind her ear as she nodded. “Well, princess, I hate to break itto you, but…” he let go of Kara and grabbed the stuffed llamafrom the counter behind her and gave it to Molly, who started kickingher legs and smiling like crazy. “She’s sayin’ llama, darlin’, notmama.”
It wasstories like this was made her fill with warmth and happiness andlove for their family. Just then, Rebecca’s car pulled up andpractically before it was in park the back door flew open and Lucasand Laura came flying up the porch steps. “Uncle Jake!!!!” Lucasshrieked, launching himself onto the swing between Jake and Kara. “HiAunt Kara!” he said, grinning at her with his tooth fairy ravagedmouth.
“Hey,Luc,” Kara said as he nestled against her side and said hi to hisbaby cousins. Laura hugged Kara’s other side before planting a kissto Jake’s cheek and letting Molly wrap her fingers around her hand.
Rebeccacame trudging up the steps struggling beneath three bags, promptingJake to say, “Alright, monsters,” his affectionate nickname forhis niece and nephew- in reality they had saved him from monsters,often getting the only good sleep he could when they slept overduring the years that he and Kara were separated by space and time.Lucas and Laura moved aside so Jake could hand Molly to Kara, whostood and situated Molly against her hip. Jake went to help hissister with the bags. “Dang, Becs, are they staying the weekend, oryou leavin’ 'em here for good?” he joked.
“Funny,Jake.” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Just wait. Wait ‘til you seehow much stuff such little people end up needing for just a weekend.”She kissed her brother on the cheek before turning to Kara.
“HeyKar,” she said with a smile before giving her a kiss as well. “Howya feelin’ mama? And how’s this 'lil llama? Hi Molls!”
Mollyreached for her aunt and Kara handed her over so Rebecca could lavishher with kisses and raspberries, with Molly giggling and saying“AnnBeccs”- Aunt Becs. “Hi Becs, I’m doin’ alright, feelin’pretty good, thanks.”
“Wellya look great, girl. You’re really kickin’ butt at this mom thing.”Rebecca’s compliments on her parenting meant the world to Kara.Rebecca and Maggie were her role models when it came to the type ofmother that she wanted to be for their children. They chatted for alittle while longer on the porch while Jake took Laura and Lucas intothe backyard to catch lizards and bugs, their favorite thing to dowith their uncle, claiming that he was the best in the world atcatching critters. Eventually Rebecca had to go; she was heading outof town for a friend’s wedding and had a flight to catch. She calledto her children and they came running to give her a good bye kiss,Lucas holding a small green lizard in his open palm.
Karaset Molly into her bouncer and Laura sat down right next to her babycousin, assuring Kara that she’d keep an eye on her. Lucas flopped onthe couch and started looking through the many photo albums that Karahad on the side table- she hadn’t had pictures from her childhood,but Maggie had supplied her with quite a few pictures of baby Jake,and Kara had compiled them into several albums, along with as manypictures from their life together as they had. There was even a photothat Diego had given her from their wedding day in Elyys'tel,and one that he’d taken soon after they’d landed on La Huerta, withKara giving Jake a look that said, “You’re not really gonna justnap all day, are you?” Diego had held onto those photos until Karawas back, knowing that they would have crushed Jake if he’d giventhem to him before.
Laurawas flipping through the colorful pages of Kara’s first book- achildren’s tale about adventures in other dimensions, showing thepictures to a wide eyed Molly. Kara joined Jake in the kitchen wherehe’d made himself busy starting dinner. He always made his niece andnephew their favorite meal, which was also Kara’s favorite meal,though she’d have to abstain from it tonight. “Gumbo smells amazingthere, chef,” she said, wrapping one arm around his apron cladwaist before planting a kiss to his cheek.
“Thanks,darlin’,” he said, “Don’t worry, I’m makin’ you one that’s not asspicy, with chicken since ya can’t have the shrimp. And,” hecrossed to the stove to uncover a small pot with some boiledpotatoes. “I made some plain potatoes for miss llama, so we canfinally put to rest whether she prefers my white taters or your sweetones.”
“You’remy sweet one,” she said, laughing at her own corny joke. But hewas. She knew he was making gumbo and had resigned herself to makingscrambled eggs or something mild since she couldn’t eat shellfish orstomach spicy food at the moment- with Molly she couldn’t get enoughhot sauce, but the twin wolf cubs didn’t seem to like it hot. But thefact that he made her what he knew was her favorite thing that hecooked made her heart grow even more. He’d never stop surprising herwith his little acts of love.
Whenit was time for dinner, Laura helped Kara set the table and Lucashelped Jake ladle gumbo into bowls, and they all sat down to enjoytheir meal and see once and for all whose cooking Molly preferred-with regards to potatoes, anyway. “Alright, miss llama, Daddy madethis just for you,” he eagerly set the potatoes down in front ofher, trying to convey how exciting potatoes were. Molly looked atthem, then looked at Jake and shook her head.
“Nopo-tatoes…” she said, her little hands coming up questioningly.
“Yeah,'lil girl, those are potatoes.” He promised her, scooping some ontoher spoon. Lucas and Laura were watching, giggling as Molly clampedher lips shut and shook her head again. “Whatcha doin’, missMolly?”
“WantMama do it,” she answered, pointing to Kara.
“Youwant mama’s potatoes, baby girl?” Kara asked, beaming.
Mollynodded an enthusiastic yes. “Yesh, yesh, mama po-tatoes better,Daddy.”
Jakemimed being struck with an arrow to the heart and fell into hischair, causing Lucas and Laura to laugh uncontrollably, Molly joiningin taking her cousins’ cue. Kara was having one of those moments asshe walked to the fridge to get Molly her sweet potatoes. Thechildren’s light giggles mixing with her husband’s deep rumblinglaughter flooded her mind with glimpses of the future: of Jake withtwo kids climbing on him and another chasing him around the house, adog barking around them: of walking through the woods with him, theirkids a few yards ahead, their hands twined and love in their eyes forone another : of growing old and letting their children fill theirhome with grandchildren, of spoiling them rotten. She could seeMolly’s first day of school and the tears Jake would cry, she sawbroken arms from climbing things they shouldn’t be climbing, she sawChristmases and Birthdays and Wednesdays.
Takingthe potatoes back to Molly, she sat back down next to her husband.“Guess we know whose cookin’ she prefers, huh, Daddy.”
Jakegrinned, a glint in his eye as he swallowed a big mouthful of hisdinner. “Yeah, guess so, Mama Llama,” he pushed his chair outfrom the table before bending to have a chat with  her belly. “Butyou lil wolves better be on your Daddy’s side, 'cause I’m alreadyoutnumbered here.” He sat back up and winked at her and the rest ofthe night passed quietly and uneventfully and in just the sort offashion that Kara could fill a whole room full of photo albums with.

Title: Things They Don’t Teach You in STC Pairing: Ray x Reader Rating: PG  A/N: Dear nonny, I took some liberties here, ‘cause I couldn’t figure out whether you wanted Ray or Pablo. If I fucked it up, please let me know and you’ll get the two-for-one special! STC stands for Special Operations Training Course, which is a course MARSOC Marines go through on their way to becoming...MARSOC Marines. Yeah.  Word Count: 1,500
“Take it from the top. I still don’t… How?” Ray rubbed his face, trying to get a handle on how his girlfriend was going to push their kid out.
“Okay, from the top. This is her cervix. It’s at the back of where you hit it. When she starts having contractions, this shit opens up, dilates, to open her up enough to let the kid come through. The contractions pull it apart or some shit, and that’s why it hurts.” Enson explained, pointing at the diagram on the screen for the fourth time, knowing Ray wouldn’t truly get it until it really happened.
“And what happens after? Does it just…Go back to normal?”
Enson laughed knowingly, smacking Ray hard in the back before pressing his friend’s shoulders in a show of solidarity.
“After one? Sure, it’ll go back to normal. After that? You’re on your own, my man.”
Ray growled out a sigh, leaning back in his chair, frustrated by the fact that he was in over his head. He hated not being able to grasp a concept, and this was one concept where failure wasn’t an option.
“I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing.” He said to no one in particular, shaking his head.
“Welcome to the fuckin’ club, man.” Enson wheezed, enjoying his friend’s misery more than he should have, but remembering full well when it was him in that same position and how, over time, everything just fell into place.
“Listen, man. Only thing you gotta worry about is catching the kid, aight? Everything else? Breezy,” Enson added, pretending to wash his hands of his friend’s proverbial worries, his expression confident. “Oh, and don’t do what I did with Carly and drop your phone on the kid when you’re taking pictures right after. She’ll never forgive you.”
Ray closed his eyes and took a breath. He had to go home.
You were growing a basketball player. There was no other explanation. You still weren’t even sure you trusted the ultrasound when it showed only one baby; it would’ve made more sense for a twin to be hiding somewhere in there, given how big your belly was.
Sighing, you padded over to the stove to check the sauce. Though it was getting harder to stay on your feet, and you were miserable anywhere but the couch, cooking was something you were adamant about still doing. Not because of any bullshit patriarchal reason, but because you’d mastered the art of making food that didn’t give you immediate heartburn, and no one, not even Ray, was going to mess with that system.
You rolled your ankles one at a time as you stirred, feeling the swelling in the joint with every turn, your skin feeling like it would rip apart at any second because of how much fluid had collected there. Your back ached like Satan himself was sitting on it, and with your belly as big as it was, you knew there was no way to get any sort of massage to ease it.
The door opened just as you were trying to stretch out your back, holding onto the counter and doing your best forward bend. Before you managed to unfold yourself, you felt strong, sturdy hands right over your tailbone, Ray sliding them under your shirt, applying just the right amount of pressure as he worked his way up your sore muscles. It felt so good, you couldn’t help the tears that pricked your eyes. It’s not that Ray hasn’t been attentive; on the contrary, he’s more than pulled his weight. It’s just that you miss the little things, and at that moment, getting a back massage was definitely one of them. Discreetly, you wiped your tears, feeling silly for crying over something so simple.
You waited until he’d done a few laps from tailbone to shoulders and back again before slowly standing back up. You’re greeted with a look of sympathy and a gentle kiss.
“How was your day, babe? Dinner smells good.” His voice is always softer with you, especially when it’s just the two of you and none of his boys are around. Searching his face, you could tell he was stressed, and you made a mental note to talk about it later.
“My day was...boring. I feel like I’ve watched everything on Netflix. Twice. I love you, babe, but if your kid doesn’t come out soon, I’m gonna have to take matters into my own hands,” you joked, shooting him a wink before moving back over to the stove. His eyes narrowed playfully and he waited until you were done stirring to turn you to face him.
You watched as Ray wordlessly got down on his knees, his hands slipping your shirt up over your belly before he pressed a soft kiss just above your now-deformed belly button. The baby kicked almost immediately, the force of it making an outline against your taut skin, something you weren’t sure you’d ever be used to seeing.
“Are we sure it’s human?” You whispered, making a face down at Ray, who only chuckled, clearly less freaked out by the baby’s movements than you were.
“It’s human, babe. That little foot just proved it. Could damn-near count the toes.” His eyes moved back down to your tummy, Ray’s gaze softening as it always did when he was getting ready to talk to your baby.
“Have you been treating mommy well today, lil’ guy? Giving her kidneys a break?” Ray rubbed your belly gently, and you felt the tears come back, for a different, deeper reason. Though you tried never to think about it, you knew what Ray did for a living was dangerous; it had been from day one. Even when he was still in the service, there was always a chance of uniformed men showing up to your door with condolences. The only difference now was that the uniform would be different and the condolences would be interrogation questions. You pressed a hand over your mouth, unwilling to interrupt the tender moment with tears and anxiety over something that might never happen; with Ray’s luck, he’d live to be 100.
“Me and your mommy can’t wait to meet you, you know? Daddy was freaking out today, worrying about how you’d get here and what it would do to mommy and what it would be like once you were here. But, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you get here healthy, with all ten fingers and toes, and a good set of lungs on you. Right, mommy?”
You knew your face had crumpled into one of withheld sobs from the silence that followed his question, and when you managed to open your eyes, Ray looked concerned and a little emotional himself; a rarity for him.
“Babe? Everything okay?”
“I-I love you so much!” You blurted out on a sob, the confession bringing an understanding smile to Ray’s face as he stood back up to his full height. “I love you and I d-don’t want anything to ha-happen to you!”
Ray sighed softly and wrapped his arms around you, not caring that there was a slight distance between you on account of the belly; his height made for a far easier reach.
“Nothing’s gonna happen, babe, I promise. If it starts going sideways, we pull the plug, just like we always do. We get out of there, and we get home. I love you. You can’t keep putting yourself through the wringer like this. It’s not good for you or the baby.”
You were crying too hard to speak, grateful to be in his arms, even if it wasn’t the usual cocooning hug you were used to. Part of the frustration was sitting at home all day, utterly alone until Ray showed up. Having him there now made all the difference, and if you’d had your way, he’d have taken the last month of your pregnancy off with you. Nodding to make sure he’d understood you’d heard him, you held on as tight as you could, not willing to let go, even if the sauce burned.
“We’re gonna be fine. In a few weeks--” you shot him a look, “days, our baby will be here, and we’ll have way more important things to worry about than labor or Netflix, or things happening. We’ll have our little one and he’ll be our world. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited, even if I am kind of freaking out. Did you know you have to open up like, 20 centimeters for him to even come out?”
His words caused an unintentional snort to escape amidst the tears, his look of confusion so endearing you couldn’t help but kiss him.
“It’s only ten, babe. Only ten.”
“File under, ‘Shit they never taught me in STC’.” Ray looked serious, but you couldn’t help but laugh. Things would work out, even if neither of you had a training manual to go by.

Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
pairing: jihancheol | rating: g | warnings: mentions of character death, light angst
a/n: i wrote this a while back for a 95line fic exchange but haven’t posted it here until now cause i was on vacation haha. it’s my longest fic ehehe. as usual, this is also on ao3 and will soon be put on aff too 
“I think that’s the last of it.”
Jisoo sighs deeply, wiping his brow as he straightens back up after setting the last box down along the wall with all the others. He’ll have to sort through them and decide where the contents of each should go, but right now his legs are screaming at him to take a break. “So what’s for dinner tonight? Takeout or pizza?” he asks as he flops back on the couch and drapes an arm over his eyes. He grunts when he feels a weight on his stomach and tiny hands insistently smacking at his chest. “Pizza, pizza, pizza!” “Alright Channie, I’ll order it in a minute” Jisoo smiles, slightly lifting his arm off his face to see his little brother pouting at him. “Hyung is tired right now.” Chan whines at him, flopping onto his chest. Jisoo chuckles at the pout on his little brother’s face, ruffling Chan’s hair with his other hand. Neither of his roommates are back yet; Jeonghan’s off running an errand with his sister and Seungcheol’s at work. It’s just him and Chan at their shared apartment right now.
He sighs quietly, lightly stroking Chan’s hair as the four year old babbles at him about his favorite pizza. Normally around this time, he’d be coming home from work while Chan would be eating dinner with their--
He swallows, shaking his head. He can’t dwell on that right now, not when Chan’s still with him. He’s gotta stay strong, for him, for both of them. Jisoo ruffles his brother’s hair fondly, stretching his arm out and grabbing his phone before dialing his usual pizza place and making the orders.
“Okay Channie, pizza’s gonna be here in fifteen minutes,” Jisoo says after hanging up, tossing his phone on the table. He grunts when Chan squeals happily, bouncing on his chest. It doesn’t bother him though, he’d do anything to make his little brother smile brightly like he is right now. He scoops the child into his arms, making airplane noises as he runs around the apartment, pretending Chan’s an airplane. “Wheee!” Chan cries happily, laughing brightly as Jisoo hugs him to his chest, patting the older’s cheeks. At the sound of the front door unlocking he grins, telling Chan that Cheol hyung’s back. Chan doesn’t pay attention, demanding for more airplanes.
“Well, it looks like someone’s having fun.” Jisoo turns to the doorway, laughing at the sight of Seungcheol hopping about while trying to toe off his shoes. Chan hides his face in Jisoo’s shoulder, shyly peeking out as his brother goes over to help with Seungcheol with his things. “Heya Channie,” Seungcheol coos, gently pinching his cheek before turning to his roommate. “Did you get settled in yet?”
Jisoo nods, jerking his head in the direction of the boxes as Chan squirms in his arms. “Just gotta unpack the boxes now. We’re having pizza for diner by the way; Chan’s request.”
“Pizza?” Chan asks eagerly, perking up only to pout when Jisoo says it’s not coming yet. That makes Seungcheol laugh and ruffle Chan’s hair before he asks Jisoo if he needs any help unpacking.
“I was gonna leave it for tomorrow actually,” Jisoo says with a quiet laugh as they go over and sit on the couch. “Chan’s bed is already set up in my room and I’ve taken out some of his clothes for tomorrow.”
“Don’t you have work tomorrow?” Jisoo frowns, letting his brother squirm out of his arms and run around the apartment. Seungcheol’s right, he does have work tomorrow and he hasn’t looked up daycares for Chan yet with how busy he was in the aftermath of his parents’ funeral.
“I do,” he says, biting his lip in thought. “I don’t know anyone who can take care of him last minute though. You and Jeonghan work tomorrow too, right?”
“I don’t know about Hannie, but I actually have off tomorrow,” Seungcheol shrugs, chuckling at Chan running around making airplane noises. “I can look after your brother while you’re gone.” Jisoo nods, eyeing him scrutinizingly. Seungcheol shrinks a little awkwardly under his stare, staring back at him slightly bewildered. “Is that not a good idea?”
“Yes and no,” Jisoo says with a shrug, catching Chan before he can run into the coffee table. “I think I’d feel better if Hannie was with you.”
Seungcheol pouts at him, about to protest when they hear the doorbell ring, still pouting even as Jisoo heads to the door, Chan close on his heels.
“PIZZA!”
Jisoo laughs, ruffling his brother’s hair fondly as he opens the door, coming face to face with his other roommate instead of the pizza delivery person. He can’t help but laugh again when Chan eagerly asks if he’s the pizza man.
“Pizza man?” Jeonghan blinks, stepping into the apartment. “Last time I checked, no.”
“Hyung, want pizza!” Chan whines, clinging onto Jisoo’s leg with a pout. Jisoo grins, penguin wobbling out of the way with Chan clinging tightly on him so Jeonghan can toe off his shoes. Jeonghan laughs, bending down to Chan’s height and poking his cheek.
“Are you not happy to see Jeonghan hyung?” he says with a pout, making puppy eyes at the child. Chan immediately shakes his head, stubbornly insisting he wants the pizza man now! Seungcheol cackles at Jeonghan’s put out expression, sticking his tongue out at him before the doorbell rings again.
“Third time’s the charm Channie,” Jisoo smiles, asking Seungcheol to grab his wallet while he opens the door once again. Thankfully it’s actually the pizza man, much to Chan’s delight. Once they’re all settled around the coffee table, they dig in eagerly, occasionally getting scolded by Jeonghan to chew and then swallow by how quickly they were scarfing down the pizza.
“Hannie, do you work tomorrow?” Jisoo asks, carefully wiping leftover sauce around Chan’s mouth. Jeonghan nods in the midst of bickering with Seungcheol over who would be stronger between Superman and Wonder Woman.
“Yeah, but I get off early tomorrow,” he shrugs, jabbing Seungcheol’s ribs. “Why do you wanna know?”
“Cause I’m not sure if I can trust Cheol to look after this lil squirt while I’m at work,” Jisoo says simply, petting Chan’s head as his brother giggles at the other two bickering in front of him. “I didn’t look up any daycares yet with all the stuff that’s been going on and Cheol offered to take care of him.”
Jeonghan nods understandingly; since his parents’ funeral, Jisoo’s been throwing himself into taking care of Chan while dealing with the aftermath of his parents’ death. It’s a surprise he hasn’t broken down yet. He tells his friend he’ll be back in the afternoon, making a little jab at Seungcheol.
“I’m sure he can take care of a kid for a couple hours,” he snickers, flopping over when Seungcheol shoves at him. Jisoo rolls his eyes when they start wrestling, picking Chan up so he can give him a bath.
“Try not to knock over the coffee table again please,” he calls over his shoulder, jostling Chan a little bit on the way to the bathroom. His brother’s eyes are already drooping a little as the child smushes his face against Jisoo’s shoulder. Jisoo laughs softly, making a detour to his room to grab Chan’s pajamas and a spare towel.
Once he’s finished giving Chan a bath and tucking him in bed, he goes back out to the living room where his roommates are curled up on the couch watching some drama (and still bickering). They scoot over a little, making room for him to flop in between them with a tired sigh.
“You sure you can take care of Chan?” Jisoo teases, nudging Seungcheol with his elbow. Seungcheol groans, head knocking back on the back of the sofa while Jeonghan and Jisoo snicker at him.
“I’m perfectly capable of taking care of kids,” he says with a huff, scowling at the two. “Is that really so hard to believe?”
Jisoo doesn’t dignify that with an answer, sticking his tongue out at him instead. Seungcheol grumbles at him, lightly kicking his shins.
“Yeah, yeah, we’ll see how you really do tomorrow,” Jeonghan snorts, flipping through the channels. “I’m betting you’ll call Soo in three hours panicking cause you can’t find Chan.”
“Alright, no fighting you two, you’ll wake him up,” Jisoo laughs, getting comfortable between them. They watch some movie Jeonghan settled on while Jisoo tells Seungcheol everything he needs for tomorrow. When the credits start rolling, Jisoo stands up, stretching his arms as he yawns, telling them he’ll head to bed first and reminding them not to stay up too late. The other two bid him a good night before he disappears into his room with a quiet click of the door behind him.
“Still betting you’ll call him in three hours.”
“Shut up!”
“I left some emergency numbers on the counter if you can’t reach me,” Jisoo says hurriedly as he quickly checks his things, Jeonghan passing him a piece of toast. “But text me after if anything happens, got it?”
Seungcheol nods, yawning a little as he watches them bustle around the kitchen. He would’ve slept in, but Jisoo woke him up, saying he needed to tell him important things about taking care of Chan.
“Really, we’ll be fine Shua,” Seungcheol says reassuringly, snagging a piece of toast for himself. “Promise.”
Jisoo still looks a little unsure, but he nods, dashing out the door after a last reminder to stay out of trouble. Jeonghan leaves shortly after with a lazy wave of his hand, door shutting behind him, leaving Seungcheol alone in the apartment with a still sleeping Chan. Seungcheol yawns, heading back to his room after taking a look at the clock to catch a few more hours of shut eye until Jisoo’s brother wakes up.
“Hyung?”
Seungcheol stirs a little, blinking as he rolls over only to startle when he comes face to face with a wide eyed Chan.
“Uh, Chan, you’re up!” he coughs, sitting up on his bed. “How long have you been awake?”
Chan frowns, staring at him before padding out of his room. Seungcheol quickly follows him, watching as the child wanders into the living room and the kitchen, calling for his hyung. He opens his mouth, about to say he’s right there before Chan calls for Jisoo hyung, a confused and scared expression on his face.
“Oh, Channie, Jisoo hyung’s at work,” Seungcheol says quickly, jogging over to him. Chan looks up at him, eyes already shiny with tears. Seungcheol panics a little, he’s gotta calm Chan down before he starts crying.
“Work?” Chan asks, clutching his elephant plushie tightly. Seungcheol nods, bending down to his level, explaining that Jisoo will be home before dinner. Silently he prays that’ll be enough for Chan to calm down as the boy pouts at him.
“Hyung come back later?” Chan asks after a few moments, still looking a bit unsure. Seungcheol nods, petting his head as he promises Jisoo will come back.
“Do you want breakfast buddy?” he asks, holding out his hand for Chan to take. Chan hesitates a little before grabbing his hand and nodding, letting Seungcheol help him sit at the table. Seungcheol opens the refrigerator, grabbing the milk and a couple ingredients for their breakfast, pouring the milk in a cup for Chan and setting it in front of him.
“I’ll have breakfast ready soon,” he grins, ruffling Chan’s hair. Chan nods, setting his plushie on the table before drinking the milk and Seungcheol has to hold back an ‘aww’ at how cute Chan looks.
So far, so good. Seungcheol smiles to himself as he starts making eggs; he can totally take care of a child. He’s only met Chan a few times before he came to live with them, and he seems like a pretty mild mannered, if not slightly hyper, kid.
Once he’s done preparing their breakfast, he sets a plate in front of Chan, chuckling as Chan thanks him and eagerly digs in.
“So what do you wanna do today kiddo?” Seungcheol asks, cutting into his pancake. Chan puffs his cheeks in thought, nose scrunching up cutely.
“Park!” he says happily, munching on a yummy pancake. Seungcheol grins, telling him they can go after they finish eating and get dressed. It takes a bit of chasing and playful wrestling after they eat for Seungcheol to get Chan dressed and ready, but soon enough they’re walking to the nearby park, Chan babbling about elephants on the way there.
He lets Chan run off to the playground after taking his backpack and elephant plushie, settling himself on a bench not too far away from the playground. Seungcheol smiles, keeping a watchful eye on Chan as he runs around with the other children there. Jeonghan’s so gonna lose that bet; it’s only been about twoish hours and he still hasn’t called Jisoo. They really didn’t have to worry, he’s more than capable of looking after Chan.
“WAHHHHH!”
Or maybe not. He’s immediately on his feet, eyes darting over the playground looking for Chan only to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing it was someone else’s kid screaming. He sinks back onto the bench trying to calm down a bit as he scans the playground for Chan, finally relaxing when he sees the child on the monkey bars. God, that nearly gave him a heart attack. After that little incident, he keeps a closer eye on Chan making sure he doesn’t get hurt.
Jeonghan yawns, glancing over at the clock on his desk, only to groan when he sees the time. He’s still got quite of bit of time left before he can leave, even though he’s pretty much done with all the work for today. Maybe he should check up on Seungcheol, make sure he isn’t getting into any trouble of anything. Yeah, he’s gonna do that, he’s due for a break anyway. He grabs his phone and mug off his desk, heading to the break room as he dials Seungcheol’s number.
“Hello?” “Yo, Cheol, still alive?” he asks with a snarky grin, filling up his mug with water. He sniggers, he can practically hear Seungcheol scowling at him over the phone as his friend tells him to shut up.
“We’re over at the park right now,” Seungcheol says, sounding a bit out of breath. Jeonghan hums, leaning against the counter.
“Why do you sound like you ran a marathon though?” he asks, taking a sip of water. He smiles when he hears Chan babbling over the phone while Seungcheol tells him he got roped into playing a game of tag with Chan and the other children at the park.
“We’re actually about to go eat something,” Seungcheol adds, making sure Chan has his backpack and plushie with him before they start walking to the bus stop. “You wanna come with?”
“Are you paying?” Jeonghan asks, laughing when Seungcheol gives him an exasperated yes. “Alright, you pick the place and I’ll meet you guys there.”
Jeonghan heads back to his desk after hanging up, making sure to drop by his boss’s office to tell him he’s heading out for lunch soon. He plops into his chair with a sigh, opening up his program and fiddling around some more with it until he gets Seungcheol’s text with the location of a local sandwich shop nearby. With a grin, he grabs his things and heads out of the office. Thankfully it’s actually not that far of a walk, and he can see Jisoo’s brother running around Seungcheol when he gets close to the shop.
“Haven’t called Shua yet?” he asks as he reaches the two, bending down to ruffle Chan’s hair. Seungcheol rolls his eyes, flipping him off as he opens the door for them, ushering them into the shop.
“Nope,” Seungcheol says, holding Chan’s hand to keep him from running off. “Seriously, you two gotta have more faith in me, as you can tell, I’m perfectly fine looking after him.”
“You say that now, but what about later?” Jeonghan teases as they get in line. Seungcheol rolls his eyes, ignoring him in favor of picking up Chan and asking him what kind of sandwich he wants.
As soon as they finish ordering, they grab a table outside on the patio at Chan’s insistence. Jeonghan smiles as Chan eagerly tells him about what he did at the park, laughing when he catches Seungcheol dozing off in the corner of his eye.
“I think you tired out Cheol hyung, Channie,” he says with a grin, nudging Chan to look over at Seungcheol. Chan giggles, reaching over and patting Seungcheol’s cheeks, telling him to wake up. Seungcheol groans, telling him he is awake.
“You have way too much energy kiddo,” he says fondly, patting Chan’s head. Chan just smiles proudly at that, brightening up when he sees a server coming to their table with their sandwiches.
“You’re getting old Cheol,” Jeonghan teases, biting into his sandwich. Seungcheol rolls his eyes, cutting Chan’s sandwich into smaller pieces. They eat in silence for a little bit, hunger taking over socializing for a bit. When they’re halfway through lunch, Jeonghan asks what they’re gonna do next, wiping a bit of sauce from Chan’s mouth.
“Haven’t decided yet,” Seungcheol shrugs, yawning a bit. “I’m down for a nap though. What do you think Chan?”
He frowns when he doesn’t get an answer from the child, looking down to find him staring off at something. He shares a look with Jeonghan, both of them looking in the direction of his gaze to find a family of three nearby laughing and chatting together.
Jeonghan bites his lip, looking down at Chan again, noticing his forlorn expression. He moves to kneel in front of Chan, asking quietly if he’s okay, gently squeezing his hand. Chan swallows, hesitating a little before shaking his head.
“I miss Mama and Appa,” he mumbles, tears beginning to well up in his eyes. Jeonghan nods understandingly, giving Chan’s elephant plushie to him, quietly comforting him. Seungcheol frowns, wondering what he can do before a thought comes to him.
“Do you wanna visit their graves Channie?” Seungcheol asks kindly, pulling out a tissue for him. Chan blinks up at him, nodding his head as he squeezing his plushie to his chest as he climbs off the chair, taking Seungcheol’s hand.
“I have to get back to work,” Jeonghan says quietly to Seungcheol, grabbing his bag. “But I’m gonna see if I can take off so I can go with you guys.”
“You don’t have to-” Seungcheol protests, pausing when Chan tugs at his hand.
“Han hyung come too?” Chan asks, looking between the two. Jeonghan smiles, bending down to his level as he tells him he can if Chan wants him to come. Chan nods at that, saying he wants Jeonghan to come too.
“Okay, Hyung’ll come too,” Jeonghan says with a kind smile, straightening up again before talking to Seungcheol. “Give me a few minutes to talk to my boss and then we can go.”
Seungcheol nods, leading them out of the shop before Jeonghan’s calling up his boss. Chan’s still a little quiet, lightly swinging Seungcheol’s hand back and forth as they wait for Jeonghan. A few minutes later Jeonghan hangs up, telling Seungcheol he got the okay to leave early.
“Do you wanna get something nice for your parents Chan?” Jeonghan asks as they head back to the bus stop. Chan nods before pointing at a nearby flower shop, saying he wants to get flowers for them as he tugs at Seungcheol’s hand.
A few minutes later, Chan’s roaming around the flower shop, frowning as he looks for the perfect flowers to take. Jeonghan keeps an eye on him while Seungcheol answers a text from Jisoo, asking if his little brother’s doing okay.
To: Shua
We’re fine, just ate lunch
To: Shua
Hannie got off early so he’s hanging with us for the rest of the day
From: Shua
Don’t get into any trouble! I gotta head back now but I’ll be home around usual time
From: Shua
Chinese sound good for dinner?
To: Shua
Sounds good to me
“Hyung!”
He looks up, laughing a little at the sight of Chan trying to hold a bouquet of lilies a little too big for him to handle without stumbling. Quickly he tucks his phone away and grabs the bouquet before Chan can fall over, ruffling his hair.
“Ready to go?” he asks as Jeonghan walks over, Chan’s backpack and plushie in his hand. Chan nods, grabbing their hands and tugging them out of the shop, telling them to hurry up. They both laugh at his eagerness before Jeonghan leads them to his car. Soon enough they’re on the way to the cemetery, Chan singing along to the radio.
When they get there, Chan’s quiet again, insisting on carrying the bouquet of lilies as they walk over to his parents’ grave. Seungcheol cleans the area a bit before Chan places the bouquet between the tombstones.
“Hyung, what do I do?” Chan asks, looking unsure of himself. Seungcheol crouches down to his level, suggesting that he tell his parents about what they did today. Jeonghan agrees with him, settling down on Chan’s other side, nudging at him to sit. After he does so, Chan’s quiet for a bit before he hesitantly starts talking, telling his parents about the fun he had with Cheol hyung and Han hyung.
Seungcheol and Jeonghan share a smile as Chan goes on, becoming more animated as time passes. He tells them about living with Soo hyung and all the yummy food he had before he gets quiet again, sniffling a little as he tells them he misses them.
“Soo hyung said heaven’s nice place,” he says, rubbing his eyes. “Said I see you much, much later.”  
Jeonghan gently pats his head as Chan tells the tombstones he’ll be okay and not to worry about him because he has Soo hyung and hyung’s friends!
“I come visit again with Soo hyung too!” Chan says with a bright smile, though Seungcheol can see tear tracks on his cheeks. After bidding them a goodbye, Chan gets up, turning to them and saying they can go now.
“Do you feel a little better buddy?” Seungcheol asks, gently wiping Chan’s cheeks. Chan nods, taking his backpack from Jeonghan before they leave the cemetery. He ends up falling asleep on the drive back, cuddled up in the backseat with his plushie.
“He’s handling their death better than I thought,” Jeonghan says quietly, looking back at the sleeping child. Seungcheol hums, saying that Chan’s got a good support system helping him cope. His friend smiles, agreeing with that as they reach the outskirts of the city before asking Seungcheol to call Jisoo and let him know they’re on the way home.
Jisoo’s just finished setting the takeout on the coffee table when he hears the front door unlock. He jogs over to open it up, smiling at the sight of Chan fast asleep in Jeonghan’s arms as he lets his friends in.
“How was he?” he asks softly, shutting the door behind them before they sit on the couch.
“Energetic,” Seungcheol laughs, letting out a deep sigh as he sinks onto the couch. “You really didn’t need to worry at all Soo.”
Jisoo rolls his eyes, shoving at him playfully before he takes Chan from Jeonghan, telling them to dig in. While they’re doing just that, he gently pats Chan’s cheeks, murmuring for him to wake up. His brother whines, blinking blearily at him before he focuses, letting out an ecstatic squeal at the sight of his older brother.
“Hi Channie,” Jisoo laughs as Chan hugs him tightly, ruffling his hair. “Food’s ready, wanna eat yet?”
Chan nods eagerly, impatiently squirming as Jisoo fixes a plate for him while he tells his brother about what he did with Cheol and Han hyung today.
“We visited Mama and Appa too,” Chan tells him, digging in once Jisoo sets his plate in front of him. Jisoo frowns, looking at his friends at that.
“He saw a happy family while we were out and missed your parents,” Jeonghan explains with a sad smile. “So Cheol suggested we go visit them.”
Jisoo lets out a quiet ‘ah’ before Chan gets his attention again, telling Jisoo that he told Mama and Appa that they’ll visit again. As they eat dinner, Chan tells him more about today’s adventures, yawning a little when his plate’s nearly empty.
“Sleepy now?” Jisoo asks, wiping Chan’s mouth and smiling fondly when his brother nods. “Alright, bath time and then we’ll get you to bed squirt.”
“We’ll take care of clean up,” Seungcheol tells him, waving him off when Jisoo starts to protest. “You go take care of him.”
Jisoo nods gratefully, scooping Chan up in his arms as he carries him off to the bathroom, leaving Seungcheol and Jeonghan alone in the living room. When he finishes washing Chan up and tucking him in bed, Jisoo finds Seungcheol knocked out on the sofa and Jeonghan cleaning up the leftovers.
“He wasn’t kidding when he said Chan had way too much energy,” Jeonghan laughs. Jisoo rolls his eyes, helping Jeonghan clean up before they take the other couch after draping a blanket over Seungcheol.
“You visited my parents?” Jisoo asks quietly. After a nod from Jeonghan, he asks how Chan was during the visit, biting his lip a little.
“He told them about what we did today,” Jeonghan says with a smile. “And that he’ll be okay because you’re with him.”
He laughs a little at Jisoo’s surprised expression. “Shua, you’re a good brother,” Jeonghan says. “It’s because of you that he’s handling this so well. Have a little more faith in yourself.”
Jisoo smiles sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck. “I’ll try,” he says softly, rolling his eyes at Seungcheol’s snoring. “But it’s.. Difficult. Half the time I don’t even know if I’m doing things right and I don’t wanna screw things up with Chan.”
“You don’t need to do this all on your own,” Jeonghan reminds him, patting his shoulder. “Cheol and I are here to help you know. And before you say anything, no you’re not being burdensome, we’re happy to help out whenever you need us to.”
Jisoo sighs, leaning his head on Jeonghan’s shoulder, quietly thanking him. “If I didn’t have you and Cheol, I think I’d be a lot more overwhelmed.” He confesses, smiling fondly at a sleeping Seungcheol.
“That’s what we’re here for,” Jeonghan smiles. “We’re always gonna be here for you Shua, don’t forget that.”
Jisoo nods, yawning a bit as he gets comfortable, tugging another blanket over them. With a soft good night, he shuts his eyes, dozing off on Jeonghan’s shoulder. He may not know what the tomorrow’s gonna throw at him and Chan, but with Seungcheol and Jeonghan by his side, there’s no doubt they’ll get through it together.

Chapter 17: Prepare To Get Your Shit Rocked
I wake up not feeling like lechuga, but more like day old salad. It’s the weekend and my whole day was free to cause chaos. I could spend it trying to see if I need anything to pack for the internship, but I wanted to do something fun to keep my mind off things. After breakfast, I just floated around trying to occupy myself before figuring out what to do/where to go. 
“What are you doing?” asked Iida as I was idly floating in the commons room.
“I’m just floatin’, trying to figure out what to do.”
“Well, um, want to hear about the weird dream I had?”
“Sure!” I got excited and dropped myself on the couch, Iida sat next to me.
“Imagine this! I dreamt that I was living with my spouse in our new house, beautiful home with a backyard. But what made it weird was that instead of children, we had dogs! And they talked and everything, even called me dad. Could you imagine having 4 dogs?!”
“That sounds like what I want! The multiple dogs part, not sure about everything else.”
“Why do you want more than one dog? We took care of Mr Muffins for an hour and a half and we couldn’t handle it!”
“Wait...Tenya, have you ever had a pet?”
“No, my parents didn’t allow me or my brother to have pets. Especially in the house!”
“Chaotic idea, but what if we go as a class to adopt a pet?”
“Is it against house rules?”
“It isn’t because we can play it off as Koda needing it to practice his quirk.”
“Hmmm, playing with loopholes...I’m in!”
“What are you two plotting?” said a very suspicious Aizawa “another one of your master plans Miss Palma?”
“Sort of? I was saying that we should go as a class to go adopt a pet.”
“We can go to the rescue shelter as a class BUT we’re going as community service, no guarantee that we’re going to adopt a pet.”
“I’ll take that compromise!” I said standing up “anything to escape my boredom.”
And like that we got everyone to join in on our little ‘community service’ trip to the rescue shelter. The people at the shelter just let us play with their animals, as they don’t get as many visitors and they too wanted to escape their boredom. 
“Don’t push! Everyone gets a hug!” I scolded the dogs as I was hugging one of the smaller pups.
“Look how sweet these cats are!” said Midoriya in the middle of the cat play pen “we should convince sensei to get a cat.”
Everyone was in agreement and we start searching for a cat to adopt.
“Ok lets wrap it up here” said Aizawa waking up from his nap “before you get attached.”
“Aw but sensei, can’t we adopt one of these lil babies?” begged Koda.
“We’re not getting a class pet and thats-”
“But sensei! Are you saying you’re gonna say no that this sweet little kitty?” I said picking up a one year old black with white and orange splotches cat “Look at him! He doesn’t have home and wants to cuddle up when you nap nap!”
He looks at the cat with his serious face and the cat stared back. The cat let his little tongue peek out and that won him over. “Fine, we’ll get him” he sighed in defeat as he picked up the cat from my arms “just hurry up and choose his bowls and stuff as I sign the papers.”
I couldn’t believe that worked and we all scurried to get his bowls, bed, toys, food and collar. When we got to the dorms, we gave the cat a tour of the place and settled him in.
“What should we name him?” asked Mina as she pet the cat “I was thinking maybe, Baby.”
“tch, it should be something cool! Like Lord Explosion Murd-”
“We are NOT calling this sweet little boy your hero name reject, Bakugo!” I scolded “anyways I was thinking Captain Pancakes.”
“WAIT!” spoke up Sero “lets call him Cat-ptain!”
“You know what Sero, that has to be one of the dumbest things you have ever said in my line of hearing...BUT I’m into it so I’m all for Catptain.” I said to roast as a cover to me liking the name. Not everyone was into it but we couldn’t come up with a better name, so Catptain it was. The first night was great but the cat seemed to like Aizawa a whole lot and mainly followed him and napped with him. The next 2 weeks goes by smoothly and with a lot of work getting done before starting to prep for the internship. That all soon changed when I was running late on a Wednesday, 1 and a half weeks before internship.
-Wednesday, teleporting in the intel wing-
“Oh jeez I have 2 minutes!” I said dead sprinting to my homeroom “why did I think it was ok to do a peel off mask?!” I dash in 30 seconds before the tardy technicality but something was off about everybody, they were all huddling over the side counter.
“Palma-san, he’s dead!” said Yuka with tears in her eyes.
I didn’t need anymore context and I dropped my coffee tumbler “ZIPPY NO!” I start bawling “our sweet little boy! who’s responsible for this?!”
“We reviewed the security footage” Hansai wiped his eyes “it was nobody’s fault but his own, he broke out of his glass containment and chewed on a cord and electrocuted himself to death.”
I was a little less angry but I walked over to see Jin holding his lifeless body in his towel like a mother that lost a child. I walk over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, we didn’t speak but we just leaned on each other in mourning of Zippy. That lizard was like a son to Jin, he was the one that taught Zippy how to shoot a gun and be an agent like us. Diya was understanding and let us have all of homeroom and weapons to make funeral plans for our class pet. We called the support and costume department to make us a lizard sized coffin. Mei on the other side of the phone call cried when we requested the coffin, they were working on a lizard sized vehicle so Zippy could do vehicle training with us during 2nd year. We planned and requested the school auditorium to hold the open casket funeral and burial in the school garden (a neglected part of the school since the conversion from a regular high school to a hero academy). Surprisingly, Nezu approved and we got to work on who to invite and arrangements. The time passed and we got the flyers ready for distribution in time for me to go to the hero class. I made my way to my class sad and puffy faced, it was hard to hide my feelings. I made it 5 minutes early to class and I walked up to the front of the class to announce the funeral.
“May I get everyone’s attention please?” I said trying to hold it together, everyone stopped to listen “Its with a heavy heart that I announce that one of the intelligence program’s own, Special Agent 69, has passed away early this morning.”
“Oh no! what happened?!” asked Uraraka concerned. 
“They got electrocuted to death by their own error, no foul play nor villainous activity.” I explained with tears falling down my face “And our class 1-A would like to invite you to the funeral this Saturday at the school auditorium, 12pm-3pm, refreshments will be provided.”
“We will be there!” exclaimed Iida “it’s such a tragedy that a fellow student got their life cut short so young.”
“Were you close to them?” asked Tokoyami.
“Yes but my buddy Jin was the closest to him” I choked back tears “he treated him like family since they both don’t have a family of their own so to see that he passed this morning was heart breaking” I broke at the last few words and started bawling again. It was hard to focus in class that day but I didn’t want to skip as there wasn’t that many weeks left in the semester. I didn’t wait for anybody to comfort me after class as I was helping my class make the memorial service, flower arrangements and refreshments. Everyone was pulling their weight in making everything happen on time. We got the whole intelligence program to come attend along with some hero classes, general ed and the staff. The night before, I was getting my black dress ready for the next day when I got a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Tokoyami and Iida”
I start sweating as I fear that Iida found out about mine and Tokoyami’s little ‘sessions’. “Come in”
“Hey~are you feeling okay?” coo’d Tokoyami “tomorrow’s the day and Iida-kun and I were talking and wondering if you needed any...comforting.”
I sweat even harder “Comfort me...how?”
“Like have us cook you dinner or go do something you like to do” Iida said chopping slowly at me “you’ve been crying and working so much to arrange this funeral that you haven’t really taken care of yourself.”
“I haven’t seen you smile or eaten properly in days, I’m worried that you’re going to get sick” Tokoyami held my hand “please Ita, let us ease your sadness.”
“That’s very nice of you two but I’ll be alright” I said stretching my back “Everything is in place and I’ll be back to my usual self after this weekend.”
“I have acquired dark chocolates and DDR” said Tokoyami as he pulled out a box of chocolates and Dance Dance Revolution for the game console I have “If you come out and play me, we’ll order pizza.”
A bitch weak for a boy that knows what I like “Oh Toko! it’s like you got me by my weak spots~” I walk toward the boys “you win this time, but I’ll beat both of ya asses at DDR! Hope you got Pizza Hut on speed dial.” 
As we walked out of my room, Iida looks at Tokoyami with suspicion “How did you know that was going to work?”
Tokoyami gets cocky “heh I spend alot of quality time with her” he sets the dance mats up in the commons room “I know a lot more than her inner thoughts, she has very...soft needs and wishes.”
Iida didn’t pick up on his tone “Is that so?” he checked if she was in earshot “then do you know anything about her past? Anything about a boy?”
“Hmmm, nothing about a boy” he stopped to face Iida “all she’s mentioned is that it was pretty dangerous were she attended school and she was a promising number 1 arts student of the district.”
“Yo! Food thief struck again” I said walking in with my cut mango with chamoy, chile and limon “they must like spicy food if they ate my mango in plum sauce and red chili.”
“I was wondering what that was” said Iida “but I didn’t want to be insensitive if it was something that’s in your culture. I know you like oddly spiced sweet things.”
Others came out of their rooms to play and hang out, overall a really nice time that I didn’t need but appreciated it. As I was taking a breather to pet Catptain, Tokoyami was rubbing my shoulders like he usually does when we have our sessions. I didn’t think much of it or who would see but Iida took notice and got envious. He didn’t make a fuss about it until it was curfew for them and we cleaned up to go to our rooms.
“Good night everyone! See y’all tomorrow at the auditorium.”
“Ita, allow me to carry you to bed” said Iida as he picked me up.
“My legs are fine Tenya!”
“You danced a whole lot, let me ease your pain” he carried my to my room, a whole 15 feet away “now lets set you down on your bed, close the door and-”
“What are you doing?” I asked concerned as he closed my door “you’re acting a bit strange.”
“I saw Tokoyami giving you a shoulder rub and thought that you wanted more” he said not doing a good job at hiding that he was jealous “let me just-”
I gently push his hands away “Tenya, did you get jealous?”
“I just want to tend to you like you tended to me”
“I’m fine, really” I said to make him understand “I didn’t want the shoulder rub but I couldn’t move since the cat was on my lap.”
“Oh...I see now” he blushed hard that he misinterpreted the gesture “sorry that I pushed myself onto you again.”
“What you need is a shoulder rub” I levitated him onto my desk chair and pulled it toward me to give him the rub “everyone tells me I give good rub downs and after this, you’ll be sleeping like a baby.”
The mere touch of her hands on his shoulders got him flushed and heart racing. She couldn’t tell but Iida was getting a sort of high off her touch. The way she moved her fingers to soothe his shoulder blades and back of the neck made him give soft moans of approval. She got to the scalp and gave a scalp massage too, it made his head tilt back to see her look back at him. His face read ‘pure bliss’ to her and he got his first taste of intimacy.
“I really enjoyed that” he said still looking at her with his head tilted back “didn’t know I needed something like that.”
“Glad you feel that way” I said putting my hands on his face to cradle it “anytime you want a nice rub down, I got you.”
He left to his room with all the nice and warm tingly feelings from the taste of first love intimacy. Maybe I shouldn’t worry about pursuing her heart he thought as he laid in bed she seems to like my company when we’re behind closed doors or prying eyes. And I feel like a man worth her time when that does happen, perhaps her heart is already in my direction.
-The next day, in the auditorium-
“Ok flowers are all set up!” I yelled from the stage to the audio table “are all the refreshments laid out?”
“Refreshments ready to serve!” yelled Hansai back “do we have the casket ready?”
“Casket arrival in T-minus 5 minutes!” yelled Yuka in response “do we have Zippy ready?”
“Our sweet Prince is ready to be honored” Jin powered through tears to yell back “do we have the music and video ready for viewing?”
“We are ready for viewing!” Mimi bellowed from the tech box “stand by for an audio test.”
“Good job kids!” said Diya walking onto the stage “I’m impressed with all the effort put into honoring your own. Wish everyone was like this.”
“Thanks sensei!” we chanted in unison.
“Its still 20 minutes until people are expected to roll in” I said checking my phone for the time “I’ll go and check on the greeting crew.” I teleported to the front doors to check on our other 2 classmates and Muffin 2.0 and tell them we’re ready to start bringing in people. I start heading back to see how our set up looks, it was like quaint memorial service with cookies. People start coming in right at 12 and they seat themselves.
“Palma-san looks so classy in her dress and veil” Momo whispered to Mina “too bad its an open casket funeral and not a social mixer.”
“I wonder who’s the student that died” said Amajiki to Mirio “Palma-san looked so sad when she gave us the invitation, they sounded close.”
“Is it just me or are funerals supposed to have refreshments?” asked Mirio to the other 2 “seems a little out of place but these mini cupcakes and cucumber water were too tempting not to take.”
“Iida-kun are you crying already?” asked Sato.
“It’s just that it’s so sad that someone so young and in the middle of their training just gone like that! Didn’t even get to finish the year with us.” said a teary eyed Iida.
Once all the staff member got seated and we weren’t expecting anyone else, we closed the doors and got things started.
“Good afternoon fellow students and staff, good to see everyone coming together to celebrate the life of Special Agent 69, or better know in the intel program as Zippy.” I said at the podium to get things started “He was an amazing team player and always boosted morale when things got difficult on the field. Now a moment of silence as we bring in the casket and present the body.” I step away and everyone watched as Muffin 2.0 walked in carrying the small casket followed by Jin. He got the casket and placed it on the presentation table and opened the casket to reveal Zippy the Lizard in his custom jumpsuit. Everyone saw and gasped that it was a lizard and not a student like they assumed. “And now its time for some words from Jin Matsui.”
“Thank you Itati, Zippy was like a son to me. I myself was also alone in this world to fend for myself so when he ran in our classroom on the first day of classes and he ran into my arms, I saw myself in him and decided to give this lizard a home. I shared my meals with him, trained him to do agent things, shared secrets that I only tell my best friends but most importantly, he made me feel like I wasn’t unloveable or incapable of making my own family. He became my family and gave me the strength to keep going.” 
He stepped back to wipe his tears and I took over the podium again “Touching words Jin, and now, a video in memory of Zippy.” The screen lowered as the lights dimmed a bit to show a slide-show like video of our selfies with Zippy, videos of him training with us, shooting his gun, parachuting off the school roof and receiving his license to kill along with some candids Jin took when he’d take him to his room on weekends and holidays. The entire video was to the song I Will Remember You By Sarah McLachlan , there wasn’t a single person that didn’t either cry or look in confusion on how a lizard was trainable enough to shoot a gun.
“I can’t believe this reptilian lead a much more successful year than me!” angrily muttered Bakugo.
“I can’t believe this lizard is getting more love and attention than I ever had” Todoroki whispered to Midoriya “I wish I were in a casket too.”
The video ended with a group picture with all of us at the display ceremony with Zippy in Jin’s arms. The lights dimmed back on and I stepped up to the podium again “We are opening the stage if you would like to pay your respects, if you don’t know what to say, we have an ‘F’ button so you can pay respects without words.” To our surprise, there was quite bit of people lining up to pay respects, everyone else was getting more refreshments to wait out until the burial. 
“Rest in paradise fellow animal comrade” said Nezu going up to the body.
“Hope you look after them up there, rest in paradise little lizard” Midnight said to pay her respects.
Even All Might payed respects “Young lizard! You brought morale and team work to your human companions, great qualities of a hero, rest in power.” 
Aizawa came up with Catptain and just pressed F, the cat also pressed F and it made me fuckin lose it in laughter. We got hundreds of F’s and we announced that we’ll be moving the procession to the school garden for burial. Our class marched with Jin in the front with the casket, we all sang Ain’t No Mountain High Enough on the way to school garden. Diya dug the hole and Mimi placed the tombstone, while they were doing that, Hansai announced the final song.
“And now a live performance from Agent 19, Itati Palma, and Muffin 2.0″
“Palma-san is going to sing again?” people in the audience were muttering as I walked next to the tombstone.
“This was one of his favorite songs” I said as I pointed to the sky “this one’s for you Zippy! My heart will go on!” Muffin 2.0 pulls out a recorder and starts playing My Heart Will Go On while I sang the vocals as they lowered the casket.
“Bye Bye Zip” whispered Jin as he tossed in Zippy’s laser gun “You’ll need this to flex on the other animals and God.” As they refill the hole and the song finishes, Jin takes his 4th swig of his flask and gets bold “ITS NOT FAIR! He didn’t even get to hit that reptilian pussy!”
“Jin stop! You’re hysterical!” I said as Mimi contained him from jumping into the grave. The funeral ends and all the invited guests depart but all of intel 1-A to have one final ritual. We circled around the grave and took out our flasks to pour one out for the homie Zippy. “TO ZIPPY! DICKS OUT!” we chant as we take a sip in honor of him. I walk to the auditorium to help clean up when I see Shinso waiting at the entrance.
“OH hello Shinso”
“Hey, I was hoping to run into you” he started “that was quite a service you guys put together, sorry for your loss.”
“Thank you for your kind words, that lizard will be missed and remembered always.”
“Yea urm, I wanted to talk to you about something.”
“Oh?”
“I was wondering if you could give me some one on one time.”
I got intrigued, he’s heard of my personal time with 1-B “Gladly! Are you trying to get into the hero A class too?”
“Yea and my quirk isn’t one of the most heavy hitting and I heard that you use your quirk to help unlock new techniques.”
“Its all true, I’m curious to see what you have” I said giving him a once over “how does tomorrow sound? Or if you want to have Sunday to yourself, I can do Monday or Wednesday after school.”
“Monday after school sounds good, thank you for accommodating me into your schedule.”
“No problem! Make sure you meet me in gym 3, dressed out and ready to start at 4pm sharp! I administer tardy punishment if you’re late.”
“Right! See you then.”
I clean up the auditorium and go to the low key kick back at the intel dorms. We just drank beer and cooked some food to just get our minds back to the upcoming internship. We exchanged were we ultimately chose to go for our internship, Mimi was going with a seaside branch and Jin was going to Hokkaido. Talking about it made me excited to go again. Fast forward to Monday after school, I change into my pink track pants and white fire-proof tank top with matching shoes. While I was changing, I was getting curious on what kind of quirk that boy has, was it fire? Something to do with inflation? I keep thinking possibilities as I walk into the gym floor, It was just 5 minutes until it was time.
“I’m here!” panted Shinso as he ran in “I didn’t know we had so many gyms!”
“Oh yea hehe we have like 6 gyms” I recalled but then refocused “you’re on time, lets get started!” I sat down in the middle and pointed to the space in front of me “come, sit and discuss what you want to work into with me.”
“Um ok well” he said as he sat down “I have a sort of manipulative quirk and it’s great as it is but I don’t know where to start to make it better.”
“Manipulative? is it like hypnotism?”
“Yes and No”
“Um, well lets have a spar to see how it affects me and how you work it into your fighting” I levitated up to my feet “take your stance and I’ll count us down.” We take our sides of the marked lines, he takes his stance and it’s a bit strange but it’s fixable “ready? 3,2,1 GO.” As I try to circle and mirror him, I see he doesn’t move but his eyes follow me, like he’s scared of me.
“I don’t like your pants, they’re too pink.”
I yelled back “nobody said you had to like them” for a second I felt my body tense but then I shook it off and kept moving.
“How did that not affect you?!”
“What?!” I said as I looked around to see if he deployed a sneak attack, nothing “what did you do?!”
“I’ve got my quirk activated and you’re answering my answers but you aren’t brainwashed shell of a person” he said like his world is collapsing “what are you?”
I cocked my head to the side in confusion “Your quirk is Brainwash?” I think about it a little and didn’t get it either “ask me another question.”
“Umm ok.... Do you want to grab dinner after this?”
“No thanks, its my turn to cook dinner” I answered and again, slight tension but no mind control “hmmm, why doesn’t it work on me? Or at least, not fully.”
“I don’t understand” Shinso fell to his knees “I’ve spent my whole life having people fear me because of my quirk and how villainous it is BUT HERE YOU ARE un-phased by my abilities like a gust of wind to a brick wall!” he started to cry in frustration “AM I JUST A DELUSIONAL WEAKLING TAKEN PITY BY YOU?!”
“No thats not it at all I-” I couldn’t finish my sentence, I was frozen in place. I saw everything Shinso commanded me to do, he had me crawl and do a cartwheel. I broke out of my controlled state when he held my hand.
“I can’t believe it worked that time!” he looked at my excitedly “what do you think was the thing that made you fully in my control?”
“Think it was fully on truths” I realized and came up with something “quickly, ask me a question.”
“Ok...um, What are you cooking for dinner?”
“Fruit salad and left over pizza” a quick on the fly answer “Ask me that same question now.”
“What are you cooking for dinner?”
“I’m not actually cooking anything for dinner, I just didn’t want to go out tonig-” boom, I figured it out! Shinso squeezed my hand to break me out of his control.
“You lied the last few times?” he asked me like I just killed his pet fish “why would you lie to me?”
I breathed out “Look, it’s not that I lied to hurt you. I lie to hide my feelings, my next move and my past, its like my defense mechanism. When you said you didn’t like my pants, I got a little offended because I think they’re a cute shade of pink and they make my butt look good. When you asked me to dinner, I said that because I didn’t want to go out this week as I have an internship to go to this weekend. And when you degraded yourself because I wasn’t responding to your quirk, I really wanted to reassure you that maybe I was the problem and that you aren’t a pity to me, I want to help you because you asked me and dammit I’m going to work you into the best fighter on the field!”
Shinso was taken back by the gesture “If it doesn’t fully work on some people, then what do we work on?”
“For now” I said getting in fighting position “lets test your close range, dodge my attacks.”
We train for an hour and I arrange another session on Wednesday, same time. I couldn’t shake what Shinso said when he was degrading himself. Poor dude really needs all the help and confidence to take the advancement exam.
-Thursday, in the dorms-
I come back late from my one-on-one time with Monoma and I was not having it.
“Palma-san its nearly dinner time, is everything alright?” asked Jiro, she was in the commons room along with some of the other girls and Aoyama.
“Yea, I’m good but Monoma is really getting on my nerves” I groaned as I put my duffle bag down “like, whats the point of asking me for help if they’re just going to degrade me and not follow my advice!?”
“I’m surprised you’ve lasted this long without refusing your services” said Momo “Why do you still insist on offering to help him anyways?”
“We have the same quirk and I know how hard it is to develop techniques for it” I took off my shoes and sighed “he doesn’t even have mastery in the quirks he has available to him, don’t even get me STARTED on his close range.” I start making my way to my room “I’ll be out soon for dinner.”
“Ok Palma-san, I’ll save you a seat” Uraraka promised and waited until I closed my door to talk to the others “alright so is it just me or is Monoma requesting her help too many time for it just needing help.”
“Kendo-san said that he’s talking about asking her out” Momo recalled “but if Monoma is this irritating to her, I don’t think she would say yes.”
After dinner, I started packing for my 2 week internship. I was asked to pack different changes of clothes for plain clothes and under-cover work, it was a lot to pack and I was wondering just how was high profile was this agency. Everything was ready right on time to go, I had to surrender my earpiece as it can’t reach to the others.
“Welp, have fun and be safe you two” I said to Mimi and Jin “text me when you get to your destination?”
“Yea, I’ll miss you guys” Mimi said as she brought us in for a hug “It’s going to be our first time being separated for a long period of time!”
“Oh shit you right” Jin realized “but this time we’ll be reunited and it’ll be all good.”
Because of how small our program is, not everyone is taking the train to their destinations. Mine is just 4 cities east of the school, so I got picked up by my scouter in a town car. Mimi’s is in Osaka, she had to take the train. Jin got picked up and taken to a private air hanger to get flown to Hokkaido. 
“Miss Palma, you are going to like Best Jeanist” said Jinko jeans man “he’s very excited to meet you.”
“He is?” I questioned “I thought agents aren’t supposed to interact with the head hero of the agency?”
“Well, you see, we have a developing agent squadron. It’s not very big but he interacts with them personally, he’s very picky on who he wants on his team.”
“Oh ok I see now” I turn to the window “I hope I don’t disappoint then.” Another hour in the car and we arrive in a corporate looking building, I didn’t know what I was expecting but I was getting excited.
“Alright here we are Miss Palma, we’re going to get you settled in your quarters then have a full tour as requested by you for quirk purposes.”
“Okay, thank you for considering them!” I said getting my luggage “In America, usually requests like that get ignored.”
“You’ll be happy to hear that we fulfilled all your requests” he leads me into the building “the boss himself made sure of it, he even got you your own quarters”
“Oh? I didn’t request that, I’m fine co-habiting with the others.”
“He did that because we don’t have any other females on the team, out of respect for you and how young you are” he turned to the living quarters “he made a room just for you” he opened a door with the sign that said ‘Agent 19, UA Intel’ “Here’s your quarters, furnished for comfort and a bouquet of lily, lavender and white sage. Get settled and come out to the blue door down the hall for the tour.”
“Alright thank you umm, Mr. Jinko Jeans?”
“Oh?! OH! that was close, I’m Jinko Punky, Best Jeanist’s right hand side-kick.”
“Jinko Punky huh? Alright thank you, I’ll be quick.”
I leave my door open in case of anything and to let others know that I’ve arrived. I hear people walk past my room as I put things away, I can’t see them but they see me. I hear them say things like ‘she’s so tiny?!’ ‘reminds me of my daughter’ ‘boss wouldn’t tell us about her abilities, wonder what she has?’ ‘Boss gave her flowers too! Is she royalty or something?’. I finish and I send a text to the others saying that I got settled. I walked out and see all the others, all men that tower in height to me, all wearing denim something.
“So you’re Agent 19?” said the man in a jean jumpsuit “so small and soft around the edges, like a puppy.”
“What is your name Agent?” asked sternly the man in a jean vest.
“Um, I’m not comfortable giving such information at the moment.”
“Let her be, she’s doesn’t have to tell us anything” defended a man in jorts.
The man in the jean vest walked in front of the only exit, blocking it “She’s not allowed to the leave until she gives us a name!” he turns to me “I don’t trust you one bit agent! I don’t know how you gained the interest of Jinko BUT you are not going to be treated special here!”
Playtime was over, I was going in with my true self “Please sir, I need to report to Jinko Punky for a tour and I do not wish to keep him waiting.”
“Then you better start talking little girl.”
I was going in for the kill, I sighed and levitated him to the side and opened the door “I did ask nicely” I walked to the hallway and turned back to the others “sorry about that y’all! I promise I’m sweeter than this.” I walk down the hall to the blue door, meanwhile the others were murmuring about what I did.
“She’s a telepathic! And so polite” commented the jorts man “I feel like I was in the presence of a unicorn! I can’t wait to see her full power!”
“Shut it! I don’t care what she is” growled jean vest man “don’t get fooled, it could be a ruse to take us down from the inside!”
I get my tour of the place, got aquatinted with the other agents. I told them about my encounter earlier and they said not to worry about him, it happens all the time when an agent comes through to relay information. I feel more welcomed as they invited me to eat at their little area during every meals. I go to bed and see that Mimi and Jin got situated already too, Diya sent a group text letting us know that everyone got situated and all updates about each other will be sent in a daily text from him. It got me in a better state of mind as I drifted to sleep...what could happen in the next 2 weeks?

— pizza notes
— DJ lives the lifestyle most people crave, a simple evening with him playing guitar, leaning against his friend that he’s harvested a crush for several months, eating pizza and having Ari play with his hair.
i havent published smthn in a few weeks yIkes but i wrote a gay lil fluffy thing for my friend rose @rose-thefangirl w her oc dj and one of her friend’s ocs ari, enjoy ! :)
theres one or two spanish sentences in here that i may have screwed up when translating, i used word reference. 
His fingers danced with the guitar strings, moving up and down, sliding his hand left and right. The melody falls travels from the moving guitar strings through Dj’s fingers and to Ari’s ears. “I just learnt Kiwi on the guitar, do you wanna hear it?” Dj asks with an excited grin, he pauses playing the guitar and Ari looks up from his book.
               This was the first time DJ offered to play any song without Ari asking with a shy smile. DJ was a musical genius, hand him an instrument and the chance that he knows how to play it already was high. Ari smiled and lays his book down, page still open so he could return to it later. “Yes!” DJ grins and begins to strum the guitar, fingers dancing to let the strings sing the melody.
 -
 Three minutes pass and DJ’s fingers stop playing, he hugs the guitar casually and shoots his eyes up to his crush. “How was that?!” Ari nods his head in approval. “It was good.” His simple reply makes the edges of DJ’s lips curl into a large smile. Right as DJ was about to thank his friend, a large rumble interrupts him.
 “Somebody’s hungry.” DJ teases. “Wanna order a pizza?” Ari nods and DJ pulls his phone from his back pocket. “Hey, how do you even say pizza in Spanish?” Ari’s eyebrow rose. “Pizza…. Is pizza..” He nervously laughs.
 “Well, I feel like an idiot. Okay, is cheese pizza just cheese pizza?” Ari shakes his head, leaning back against the black leather cushion. “No, that’d be pizza de queso.”
 “Would you like pizza de queso?”
 “Add some pepperoni!”
                 “Living on the dangerous side, good job, Ari.” DJ snickers as he dials the name of the pizza place, listening to the rings.
 -
It was past delivery time, which meant DJ had to ride his scooter he received for his 16th birthday - that was slowly breaking down - in the heavy rain towards the pizza place across down. With a groan, he slid out the door and threw his hood on and Ari waited patiently, getting out paper plates while he waited for his crush.
The table – which actually was DJ’s small coffee table in his cramped livingroom of his even more so cramped apartment. He kept putting off buying a kitchen table, insisting it was too much work and dining tables were a capitalist ploy. Ari offered no argument and chuckled, he wasn’t wrong.
-
               He arrives about thirty minutes later. Ari was passed out on the floor with a carpet he always insisted was comfy, earning an odd look from DJ who kept quiet about the odd realization and would go back to playing whatever instrument his hand would pick up, or simply drumming his hands on a table for several minutes.
                 DJ immediately notices his sleeping friend and slides off his wet shoes as quietly as he can. The musical genius shivers and sets the box that held hot pizza down on the coffee table. He snatches a notepad that conveniently rested on the glass table and grabbed the pen that laid on top of it, he tore off the two week old grocery list and wrote a small note.
                 went to shower, i’m cold!! sorry if singing wakes you up :)
the boogy man
-
A yawn crawls out of Ari’s mouth, stretching out and muffled by his hand. The smell of warm pizza alerts Ari and he turns his head to the closed box that sat on the coffee table. A note sat beside it, he read the vague scribble and opened the pizza box.
The smell of freshly made pizza with melted cheese makes Ari’s mouth water and stomach rumble, he grabs a paper plate and grabs a slice of pizza with pineapples and pepperoni decorated the top of it. He took a large bite and a hot sensation intrudes his mouth. Ari pulls the pizza back and a string of cheese strung from the pizza and fell against his chin.
A loud whistle intrudes the short hallway as DJ walks out of his bedroom with Christmas pajamas. Ari turns his head to direct his attention to his friend, he sees his hair is messy - predicting he ruffled it with the towel too hard. “I see somebody’s awake.” DJ says with a laugh, sitting down next to Ari and grabbing a slice of pineapple pizza for himself. He leans his back against the couch and glances at Ari. “Oh wait, dude you have somethin’ on your face.”
“Wh-” DJ interrupts his crush by quickly licking his finger and grazes the corner of Ari’s mouth for a second, wiping off the sauce and wiped it off on his reindeer pajamas. “Got it, now you’re no longer sauce boy.” DJ teases, a grin showing on his face. A heat rises to Ari’s cheeks as he nervously chuckles in return, - he’s blushing.
He changes the subject. “Your hair is messy.” He points out, gazing at DJ’s dark curls that stuck out at odd angles, stood up, it was a mess. DJ hands him a brush be carried out of his bedroom and spoke with a mouth full of pizza. “Okay, since you’re a barber now, you can brush my damn hair!”
-
               “You’re… actually really good at this.” DJ compliments. He relaxes at the feel of Ari gentle combing, occasionally running his fingers through his curls. “I happen to brush my hair.” Ari says with a laugh, gently combing through the dark curls.
                 “Are you implying I don’t?”
               Ari hums as a response.
-
                 “Done.”
                 After ten minutes of combing and twirling with curls, Ari finally sets the comb down beside them and takes another bite of his pizza. DJ grins and leans some of his weight against Ari. “Now I don’t look like a street rat. I think I owe you a little tune after that.”
                 “I would love that!”
-
               DJ’s fingers strum the guitar strings lazily, a soft tune plays from the guitar and travels into both of their ears. Ari clumsily twists and twirls DJ’s curls as he reads his book. The two sit like that for over an hour, listening to the soft tunes DJ’s fingers and guitar strings created and enjoying each other’s company in comfortable silence.

Stares Pt. 1
genre: angst, fluff
member: taehyung (w namjoon on the phone)
words: 1888

Tumblr media
part 2
ok so this is my first post aHhhhhHh hh h h H hh
although I already have some ideas in mind of more stories I would greatly appreciate any requests/suggestions you may have!
just fyi there’s a lil flashback from the day before which is separated by a line so you don’t get confused. enjoy :))
Your keys clinked in your left hand as you walked into your moderately chilly home. After peeling off your heels and closing the door, you put your purse on the wooden table by the entrance. Unbuttoning your coat, you called out for the love of your life, your sweet sweet angel, Kim Taehyung.
“Baby, where are you? I’m making pasta tonight. Have you eaten already?”
No response.
Walking towards the living room you asked, “Tae, are you in here? Do you want marinara or Alfredo sauce?”
No response.
You saw him slumped in the recliner. He was wearing pajamas with his head down, ruffled hair covering his eyes, and his hands on his knees. You paced towards him and moved his long and bony hands so you could sit in his lap. He didn’t move his head - just his eyes. Those eyes. Those eyes that always radiate joy and pure innocence, that make you laugh endlessly until he starts laughing too and you’re both rolling on the floor tickling each other. But right now, those eyes were droopy and pink from crying. Just looking into his eyes made your heart deflate, recalling the events from yesterday. You gently pushed the hair out of his eyes and proceeded to play with his fingers.
“Tae, after I left for work today, did you wake up and make breakfast? Lunch? Did you even do anything?”
No response. Just the sad gaze he wouldn’t let falter.
“You just…sat here?”
He blinked slowly.
At this point, your motherly instincts came into action. You kissed him on the forehead and squeezed his hand. “Let’s eat,” was all you could manage to say. You got up and hurried to the kitchen.
While you were preparing the water and sauce for the pasta you said, “I’m so sorry I couldn’t call you today, baby. I was stuck in meetings all day. You know I would’ve called and brought you something to eat if I had the time.”
You heard the recliner in the living room shift. You glanced over your shoulder to see that Taehyung had swiveled the chair to face you. With a straight face, he stared at you with that resilient dead stare.
Still in your work clothes, you put the noodles in the boiling water and returned to Taehyung.
“Honey, you wanna talk? Please say something to me. I know you’re having a rough time but it’s not gonna benefit you if you don’t let me help.”
He closed his eyes and two tears fell onto his lap.
You walked over to him and held his hand. You made him stand from the recliner and move to the sofa. You helped him lay down and covered him with a blanket.
Rubbing his arm you cooed, “Why don’t you take a nap while I make dinner? I’ll brew some tea too and we can watch a movie if you don’t wanna talk yet, okay?”
With the slightest pout of his lips, he nodded and shut his eyes.
Stirring the pot of noodles in the kitchen, you ran your fingers through your hair and took a deep breath. You still hadn’t completely realized that BigHit had kicked him out. They called him last night in the middle of your dinner to say that Kim Taehyung was fired.
Taehyung stood from the table and giggled while telling the person on the other line to stop fooling around and call him after he finished dinner. Sitting at the dining table, you couldn’t hear what was going on in the phone conversation but you could tell from Taehyung’s body language that what he thought was a joke was becoming more serious than he imagined. His arm fell from his hip and his mouth dropped open, wide enough to demonstrate shock and confusion. You stood up from the table and walked towards him with a concerned expression on your face. He held his hand out to stop you from coming further. He asked where all of “this” came from without warning and how “it” could be possible. His eyebrows bunched together in anger as he heard no response from the other line. He ended the call and squeezed the phone tightly in his hand. Carefully stepping towards him you asked, “who was that? Jungkookie? What did he say? Honey, why are you mad? Tell me what he said.” You always had a habit of asking too many questions.
You could tell he was breaking. He pocketed his phone and scurried into your arms. You wrapped them tightly around his muscular figure and searched his face for meaning.
“I…I…I got fired…They called and…and…said they didn’t n-need me anymore,” he whimpered as he sobbed into your chest.
Pulling him closer, you pleaded, “Taehyung baby, it was a joke okay? They would never do that! They love you! Everyone loves you! You give it your all and you always shine on stage! What are you even talking about?!”
He only cried more. You could feel his warm tears through your shirt.
Pushing him to face you, you clutched his shoulders and gave a determined stare straight into his glazed eyes. You wiped his tears with your sleeves. “We are going to get to the bottom of this. There is no way in hell you are getting kicked out. That’s insane. We’re gonna fix it. We’re gonna be alright.”
And with that, he half-smiled and hugged you tight, very tight. The two of you stayed there, swaddled in each other’s arms for a while until you became aware of your drowsiness. You waddled to the shared bedroom and managed to wiggle yourself from his strong grip. You both changed into pajamas and ran under the covers of your cold bed, in your cold room, in the cold night. Autumn was not giving up on its ferocious gusts, and you weren’t about to let your boyfriend, your one-and-only, your happiness, give up on his dreams. Holding him securely, you kissed his wet cheeks until, eventually, you both dozed off.
You left the kitchen to fetch your purse. You fished your phone out and checked the time. It was 7:30 at night; you could still call him and ask what the fuck went wrong. You dialed the number and paced back and forth.
“Namjoon? Okay, what the hell? Did Taehyung call you today or talk to any of the boys? Did he have contact with anyone?”
After a long pause, Namjoon spoke. “Y/N, he didn’t call anyone today. We called him a couple times and when he didn’t answer, we thought he was with you…Is he alright?”
Frustrated, you yelled a little louder than you should have into the phone. “Are you fucking kidding me? You think he’s alright? He woke up and sat in a chair crying all day. He didn’t eat. All he did was fucking sit. I was busy the whole day and I thought you assholes would’ve come over to help him! I knew I should’ve called in sick today.” You could feel the tears forming.
No response.
You continued, “You better tell me right now why my baby is no longer a part of BTS and fix it or I will personally come to BigHit headquarters and make everyone feel sorry for what they’ve done!”
You heard other voices in the background. Namjoon was not alone.
“Okay, Y/N, listen. It wasn’t any of the boys that made that call. It was another company. You know how BigHit was bought by Sanddollar Entertainment? Maybe they had something against Taehyung–I don’t know. They already had their eyes on a trainee from Seoul and wanted to replace Taehyungie. I guess they made their decision last night and delivered the message without telling the staff at BigHit or any of us. We found out today when Taehyung didn’t show up for practice and the CEO of Sanddollar told us. We were all as furious as you and wanted to help but we had to practice and do those goddamn interviews. I know it’s crazy but trust me, we really did try to contact him and fix it ourselves. They said they have to perform a final evaluation on the new trainee this week and make the ultimate choice within four to five days. We’re all so sorry, Y/N.”
They wanted to replace him? The word reverberated in your head as you stifled a cry. “S-So..he’s not officially out yet? There’s still a chance that they won’t want the trainee and Taehyung can join again?”
Namjoon clicked his tongue and replied, “yeah. Yeah I guess. Y/N,  don’t worry, okay? BigHit staff will do all they can to fix this for him. For us. For you. I better go now. We love you, Y/N. Please tell Taehyung we care and will see him soon.”
“Thank you, Joonie. I’m sorry for being an ass earlier. I just love him too much to watch him live like this.”
And with that, the call ended and you headed back to the kitchen to assemble dinner. Walking past the living room, you watched as Taehyung’s chest moved up and down slowly. Both arms were tucked neatly under the blanket and he seemed so at peace. That’s one thing you always adored about your boyfriend. No matter how terrible he was feeling, he always appeared to be so serene in his sleep. You enviously wondered how he could possibly be dreaming of something pleasant at a time like this.
You got the pasta ready and set down two bowls on the coffee table. You placed the warm tea on a coaster Seokjin had bought for you two when Taehyung first decided to move in. An odd gift, but greatly appreciated. Sitting on an empty space on the sofa, you stroked his fluffy hair and kissed him softly on the lips. His eyes tenderly fluttered open and you made eye contact. He gazed upon your kind, loving eyes and, for the first time today, he grinned. It wasn’t his boxy smile that bore teeth; it was the kind of smile that said ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ simultaneously. You would give anything in the world to see that smile more often.
“My prince has risen!” you exclaimed. “How are you feeling? I talked to Joonie about what’s been going on and he explained it to me. I’ll spell out everything later, okay? Let’s just eat right now. You must be starving.”
“Thank you, Y/N. I really needed this. I really needed you. I’m sorry I didn’t talk to you earlier. I…just couldn’t. I was too ashamed,” he said with pink cheeks.
Instinctively, you cupped his warm cheeks with your hands and attached your lips to his. He closed his eyes and held your waist. You stayed there for a while.
“Aishhh! The food is getting cold! Hurry and eat up, I don’t want you dying of hunger before your next comeback!” you squealed as you pulled away from him.
He eagerly reached for the bowl and practically inhaled the noodles. You both giggled at the slurping noises he was making.
Legs outstretched, wrapped in his arms, toasty and slowly drifting off to sleep, you flashed a cheeky grin as Taehyung pinched your nose and said,
“I really do love you, you know that?”
yay hope you enjoyed! have a request/suggestion? lmk :))
I would also love to hear any constructive criticism as this is my first post hehe
