Is it possible the reason Mike didn't confront Will in the van is because a good chunk of the memories necessary for Mike to be fully aware of his feelings for Will, no longer exist to him? Like, his reaction to Will in that scene did come off as genuine awe, with a mix of confusion? It's as if there was part of Mike, deep inside, screaming to get out and profess his love to Will. But because all of those memories are gone, he's confused about his feelings, feelings he just can't quite place.

So I'm absolutely adoring your into the ballpit au and while I'm side eyeing how literally everyone is so easy at taking what's happening the biggest thing that's bothering me is when Henry was talking to Mikebear, he said, "I know you're having trouble speaking," like it's a normal thing that Mike suddenly can't speak properly? Does Mike have moments of select mutism in this verse? Either way loving this comic and can't wait for the next part.
Hiii !! Yes!!! ;v; I actually didn’t think that Henry would assume he was having trouble talking because of that, it was because of the shock but I love the idea so I’m keeping it >>)b
As for everyone dismissing things easily :’v I get that, I’ve been trying to not make it too fast paced but then it takes so much longer to get to the fun parts of the story :’> if it’s about Henry though? he doesn’t want to push the kids to say too much since he can see they aren’t doing too well and he knows not to pressure them to get answers, he’s just being patient ^^
Aaaa and thank you TTwTT💖💖💖 glad you’re enjoying the story so far 👌

Eddie and Max would've been the best combo bx their friendship would lead to a complete lack of personal safety but Eddie thinks he's doing like. A great job role modeling
Tumblr media
(OK I realized this after I wrote it and this screenshot got more notes than the fic ever did but I feel like I should just say like. If ur gonna do something like that don't actually wrap the handle around ur wrist bc then you'll get dragged. Water skiing, sledding behind snowmobiles, skateboarding behind cars, all those, just hold on tight but u gotta be able to let go if u fall)

Shared Interests Pt. 1
“...and that’s where we will be ending things for tonight!” Eddie says, clapping his hands together and leaning back in his chair while the children cry foul.
“We’ve only been going for three hours!”
“We didn’t even do anything except go shopping!”
“But what about the tip we just got to find Lolth’s lair?”
Eddie’s expression darkens and he smacks his hand on the table to shut everyone up, “We will continue with all of that next time but tonight Steve and I have plans.”
“What kind of plans?” Will asks, he’s the calmest of all of them and generally enjoys hearing about Eddie and Steve being happy in their relationship.
“Stevie is taking me to a baseball game.” Eddie replies and Mike and Dustin explode.
“You’re ditching Hellfire for a sports game?! What the fuck man?” Mike shouts, almost sweeping his things off the table with his arms flailing about so wildly.
“Language” Eddie says before getting a thousand yard stare briefly as he realizes the words that just came out of his mouth. Christ, Steve really was rubbing off on him… in more ways than one.
“So you can tell us to just go find a replacement instead of rescheduling but when you decide to take the night off we just have to deal?” Dustin bites out causing Eddie’s eyes to snap to him and then briefly dart over to Lucas.
Eddie had apologized profusely from his hospital bed, even before Steve had chewed him out for replacing Lucas with his sister. He knew Lucas still felt a bit wary around him when he got manic, which was understandable after everything he'd been through. They had been doing better though, Eddie would rather die than admit it but Lucas had good relationship advice. And he spoke jock so Eddie could ask him for things to say to impress Steve, usually it just made his boyfriend laugh but Eddie still counted it.
“Why a baseball game?” Lucas asks, Eddie turns to him and scrubs a hand through his hair.
“Because Steve likes the Cubs.” It had been the primary source of bonding between Steve and Wayne, both of them finally happy to have someone to talk about sports with.
“So?” Mike is looking at Eddie like he doesn’t recognize the older man anymore.
“Because couples generally like spending time together?” He’s not sure where the confusion here is.
Dustin scoffs, “Steve already goes to your shows and hangs out during d&d, how much more time do you two need to spend together?” Mike nods in agreement but Lucas has a small smile now and Eddie reaches out to squeeze his shoulder and ruffle his hair with a grin.
“Boys, what do those two things have in common that me seeing a baseball game with your babysitter doesn’t?” he asks as Lucas bats his hand away.
“Your things are actually cool?” Mike
“They’re in Hawkins?” Dustin
“They’re Eddie’s hobbies.” Lucas for the win! At Eddie’s confirming nod the other two turn to Lucas looking confused.
“What does that have to do with anything?”
Lucas sighs at Mike and pats Will’s shoulder consolingly. His friend really needs a better guy to crush on. “And this is why El is done with your ass dude. You gotta share in your partner’s hobbies too man. Steve goes to Eddie’s shows even though he’s not a fan of metal because he likes Eddie. It wouldn’t be fair to Steve if Eddie wasn’t willing to do the same.”
“It definitely doesn’t make your partner feel good when you just dismiss their interests.” Eddie fidgets with his rings as his eyes drop to the table. He knew that he wasn’t used to relationships, Steve being his first boyfriend ever, and learning the hard way that compromise was a very necessary thing had been a difficult concept to wrap his head around at first. He’d complained about Steve trying to invite him to ‘normie’ events or playing his music until Steve, tired of feeling like Eddie didn’t actually care about him, told him that maybe they were better off seeing other people. 
Eddie had reacted poorly and it wasn’t until his bandmates called him out when he’d tried to complain to them about their fight that he’d figured it out. He still wasn’t a fan of baseball but seeing Steve light up as he’d explained to Eddie why everyone was cheering about a specific player or hit made sitting through the games more than worth it. And Steve wrapping Eddie up in his members only jacket in the parking lot before sneaking a little kiss hadn’t been too bad either.
So they would go see the occasional home game, season tickets being one of the ‘expensive presents definitely make up for the fact we’re shitty parents’ gifts Steve got for a Christmas present last year. Or sometimes when Eddie has a game or just isn’t feeling social Steve will take Wayne and Eddie gets the trailer to himself for several hours. He can take a nice long shower, practice voices for his campaigns, make himself a snack while naked in the kitchen. Or go to Steve’s and cook him something nice for dinner then head upstairs and open himself up on his boyfriend's bed before pulling out a book and waiting for Steve to get back and rail him through the mattress. 
"So what, you're going to sit at a baseball game and just pretend to be interested in it so you can score points with some washed up jock?"
"First off Wheeler, check the fucking attitude. I don't know what it is with you and your sister that you think you can just say the most awful things about Steve and face no repercussions but I will absolutely ban you if you don't start treating Steve with some basic human decency. Second off, I don't have to like baseball, it’s the same way with Steve not being super into my music. We are very different people so we sometimes struggle to find common ground, and when our interests don't line up we have to find ways to make it work. Because, as I'm still figuring out, that's kind of a big part of being in a healthy relationship."

Thunderstorm- Mike Schmidt x gn! reader
All right! I said I would go feral if I didn't get the chance to write for Mike Schmidt after seeing the fnaf movie yesterday. I wasn't kidding and I really like the rain/thunderstorm + slow dancing and softness fic tropes so I used them!
I will say right now that my requests for Mike are open! My requests for Mike are open through the rest of the week and might be open through the weekend but I haven't made any concrete decisions yet. Fall event requests are open for him too because I have no sense of self preservation in terms of fic writing and I would love the chance to write a few of the prompts listed there with Mike.
Fic type- fluff!
Warnings- none!
Tumblr media
When you wake after falling asleep while watching a bad mid-sixties horror movie, you are somewhat shocked to find that the mild rain that has been occurring throughout the day has turned into a full blown thunderstorm. Never do such things grace the city and it is a shock because it was three when you'd fallen asleep, five when you woke up, but it looks like its nine with how dark the sky is.
When you wake, you laugh a bit at yourself. Of course you'd fallen asleep--the horror movie you'd decided to watch had been a combination of laughable terror and drift-to-sleep boringness. It was a doomed combination from the start.
Slowly, you peel yourself from Mikes side, replacing your body with a couch pillow and pressing a feather light kiss to the side of his head as you proceed through the low light of the living room into the kitchen, ready to call the local pizzeria and make an order so that you can both say you ate something half-decent for dinner.
You order in a whisper so as not to wake Mike, make sure you have two twenties in your wallet to cover a large pizza, a medium--which you'd ordered so that you had lunch at work for the few days to follow, and you'd split it with Mike so that he had something to eat on his shifts--and a couple of drinks.
When the call is done, you start to debate making tea. The kettle will scream and wake Mike, however, so unless you use a coffeemaker absent of coffee, it's kind of out of the question.
Then you move to your fridge and start pondering the drink options.
And then you feel arms wrapping around your waist, a chin pressing against your shoulders.
"'S late, isn't it?" Comes Mikes voice, tired and groggy and handsomely so.
"Nah," you respond, closing the fridge. "Just looks it--Utah never gets thunderstorms in autumn. Clock said it was five when I woke up, now it's not gotta be too much after 5:15. Ordered us pizza for dinner."
Mike laughs as he presses his lips against your shoulder. "Mmmmmm," he hums happily. "I love you, Y/N."
"Damn right you do, Mikey. Did you sleep okay?"
"Never do," he says. "Did you?"
"Never do," you echo.
You feel his grin, sigh as you look at the counter in front of you and sigh contentedly when you feel Mikes lips against the back of your neck.
"Just us," he whispers. "No stress. None of that outside world bullshit. Just us."
You nod, leaning back against him as the two of you start to sway. "Just us," you whisper back, turning around and pulling him into a hug, the swaying continuing even as you do so.
Moments like those are rare, but they're sweet. You and Mike are both so busy--you with work and friends and family and Mike with trying to keep a job and look after his sister while also dealing with his aunt and her bullshit--and so you never get to just...decompress. It's lovely to get that chance, and you cherish it like you know you're meant to because you never know when again it'll occur.
"I love you, Mike," you whisper, pulling away from the sway-hug and offering him a grin. "So much."
You've been together since a few months before you graduated high school, were waiting to have Mike and Abby move in until you'd paid off the mortgage you took out when you were eighteen and in need of a place within an hour of your college campus because you didn't want to ask Mike to help you pay it. Moments like those hadn't been frequent since the two of you would poke fun at the worst of your teachers and panic about studying for calculus tests.
Life had been so much simpler then, but you'd loved every bit of it and it's complexity for moments like that one. You cherished those moments, every hug, every kiss, every slow dance in the dimmest kitchen lights.
"I love you too," he says. "'M sorry I've been distant lately."
You shake your head. "It's fine," you say, because it is. "I'm just happy you're here now."
Mike nods. "Yeah. Love you too much to leave you behind. You've been stuck with me twelve years now, and just because I have yet to propose doesn't mean you're not stuck with me for the rest of our lives."
You laugh, pull him close. You press your forehead against his and it's all just so...perfect. Things feel good. They feel like they have a shot at being okay, and you have to believe they will for both of your sakes.
In that moment, though, you have Mike. Mike has you. That, in and of itself, is enough.

"I- I told you, I don't do one-night stands," he desperately argued.
"I told you I did, and you still agreed," you tilted your head.
He sighed.
"Calm down baby girl-"
"Could you please stop calling me that?!" he whispered-yelled, looking around to make sure no one heard you.
"Why?" You were still looking through the bookstands.
"I don't like nicknames as it is, especially not that one,"
"Oh," you stopped, "I wasn't replacing your name with anything, Ethan, I'm just pointing out one of your many characteristics," you turned to him, eyes finally on him.
He readjusted his backpack nervously, avoiding the powerful gaze.
"What? You're seriously gonna stand here and straight-up lie to yourself and say you're not baby girl?"
He adorably blushed from the apple to his cheeks, to his ears, reaching all the way down to his neck, "That's-" he tried to snap out of it, "That's not the point,"
"You were the one who brought it up," you shrugged resuming your search, "Besides, you can barely call that a one-night stand,"
"What would you call it then?"
"A... consensual exchange of pleasure between two very stressed students,"
"That's a very long way of saying you-" he clenched his jaw.
"I... what? Sucked you off? You're right, although I gotta thank you for that, I'm so much better and mouthfuls now," you winked at him, "Great stamina by the way," you hit his shoulder.
"Listen," he placed himself in front of you, "I know you don't give a shit, but I do,"
You took a deep breath.
"It was a big deal to me,"
You couldn't help but slightly cringe, but gave him a chance anyway, he looked so desperate you almost felt bad for him, "I ask again, why?"
"Because," he cleared his throat, "It was the first time that's ever happened to me," he confessed, his tone barely above a whisper.
You were taken aback, "Bullshit!"
Someone from a few rows back let out a loud 'Shh'
He apologized before looking back at you with comical confusion, "What do you mean bullshit?"
"It means you're a fucking liar,"
"Why would I lie about that?"
"I- I-" you shook your head, "I don't know, but I just- I don't believe you,"
"I don't know whether to feel flattered or offended," he let out.
"There's just no damn way you're a virgin,"
"What-" he scratched his head, "What makes you say that?" he put his hand in his pockets while pursing his lips.
"Uh," you were still shocked, "Your- your face, for one," you gestured, "Puppy eyes, fleshy lips," you kept thinking, "For fucks sake, Ethan, you're a swimmer!" you kept moving your hands, "I've seen you in a fucking speedo, water dripping, you're a 6 foot something muscular eye candy!" you laughed in disbelief, "You're sweet, you're super freakishly smart, you've read, Jane Austen, Agatha Christi, and Leigh fucking Bardugo; sure, you're Starwars fan and you know way too much about Mike Flanagan, but come on! Anyone and I really mean, anyone would gladly overlook that," you tried to recover your breath, "So yeah, I'm sorry for not beliving you about being a virgin,"
He furrowed his brows, "When did you see me in my speedo?"
"That's the part you're focused on after I ranted about how great of a fucking catch you are?" You widened your eyes, "You're unbelievable, I meant that both as a good and a bad thing," you pushed him out of your way, "And to answer your question, I walked a friend who's on the female swim team to her practice yesterday, I'm not a fucking stalker for Christ's sake," you clarified, "And the rest of information you told me yourself,"
You referred to two nights ago when Chad threw his birthday party, he actually introduced the two of you that same night, he thought complaining about schoolwork was enough to make a good match.
You sat on top of one of the tables, "Look, I'm sorry for... seducing you if you will, and then leaving without a trace," you couldn't completely hide the fakness.
He looked down, "Thank you, for the apology and confidence boost,"
You chuckled, "I meant all of it,"
He nodded trying to hide his very strong flush.
You scanned the boy infront of you, a part of you didn't wish to see him after the 'incident' let alone talk to him, but if you had to be honest with yourself, you were more than glad to have him chasing you around campus all day trying to find even a speck of courage to walk up to you. There was a slight moment of excitment in your eyes, as you noticed he was struggling with himself wether to stay or not, he made his choice by resignating to place his bag on the table next to the one you chose, you knew what he was doing, trying to make it seem as he planned all along to work here and 'conincidentally' run into you. You made your choice as well, by getting up and snatching the notebook out of his hands.
"Obviously you have fucking good hand-writing," you scoffed leafing through it, "And is that-" your eyes squinted, "Fountain pen?"
"Y-yeah," he aswered.
"Of course it is," you pulled out a chair to continue your observation in a more comfortably postition.
Ethan didn't know you that well, but he sure as hell wasn't going to try and take something from you, so he just proceeded to grab another set of things for another homework. You on the other hand, wasted no time in reaching the very end of the pages, where the good stuff was, the free space whre everyone draws terrible sketches, writes pending tasks or random thoughts in any way shape or form; and yet it seemed he didn't have anything, just purely white paper. You rolled your eyes, there had to be more to him, something to make him more interesting that the perfect and sweet guy you gave a blowie to, something that could justify why you wanted to fuck him so badly right now, the urge had to be justified with something else than the cutest nerd you'd ever seen, but he didn't seem to help you.
In a breef moment of boredom, you wondered about his intentions, more specifically why he wanted to talk to you in te first place, what would he win out of an apology or simply a glimpse of regret? Did he regret it? Maybe. Perhaps he didn't regret what happened (clearly not by the way he was moaning so loud you were sure the entire crowd heard him), perhaps he just regreted there was no chance it could happen again.
"Ethan," you said softly, eyes filled with intention, feline almost.
"What?" he turned to you.
"I know you're not here to make me feel bad," you reached the cover of his book and slowly closed it, purposely making your bodies closer, to which you heard his breath hitched, "Would you like to walk me back to my apartment?"
He gulped, "Aren't- aren't your roommates there?"
"On a friday night?" You asked rhetorically, "What a silly question for such a smart little brain,"
.
.
.
Lmk if I should do a part two, I just don't know how to continue it so if you have any ideas pls send them it would really help a lot

here's the first part to a little domestic steddie thing that I don't have a name for yet, but I thought it up last night and couldn't sleep while I started planning it in my head.
highlights will include: friends to lovers, roommates, slice of life, getting together, hispanic!eddie (MY LOVE), i may sprinkle in the fact that Steve is HOH (but I haven't decided if i'd like him to be in this one), and possibly the first smut i'll have ever written 👀
this is just to get my thoughts out so go into this knowing that at Robin and Steve know that Eddie is Gay, Eddie and Steve know that Robin is gay, and only Robin knows that Steve thinks he's bi. You know, classic steddie fic things.
----------
“Okay, you guys, time to head out, no Dustin, you can’t stay the night.”
“Damn, how’d you know? Dustin asks, picking up his bag and shuffling toward the door to get his shoes on.
“Because you always ask.” Will admonishes his friend.
“Exactly. Thank you, Will.”
“I can’t believe the last session is next week.” Lucas says to himself, slipping on his shoes and ducking down quickly to arrange Max’s in front of her so she can get them on. 
“Oh no, what will we do then?” the Max in question snarks back. 
“You don’t even play, you can’t be sarcastic about it.”
“Don’t tell me what I can and can’t be sarcastic about, Wheeler.” Max follows Mike out the door and smacks him in the shin with her cane.
“We will see you tomorrow Steve?” El asks, stopping at his side to look up at him with those curious eyes. 
“Of course, supergirl, it’s the ‘Everything’s Fine’ party.” He grins at her and she smiles back, moving to grab her shoes as well. Steve stops her “Everything is fine, right?”
She stares off into space for just a second, then smiles back up at him. “Yes. I do not feel any of the Upside Down or of One.”
Steve lets out the breath he always holds when he checks with one of what they are now calling “The Wonder Twins”, El and Will. “Thanks, El, sorry to always ask.”
“It is okay, Steve. I don’t mind.”
“Alright you lot, you heard Stevie. ¡Ya deja de chingar! Ándale, ándale!” Eddie yells at the kids, shoo-ing them out the front door and into his van while the other Hellfire guys get into Jeff’s car. They’d officially disbanded Hellfire after everything happened last year, but still meet for D&D (now at Steve’s house) under a still undecided name.
“No need to be rude, Eduardo, we’re going.” Erica taunts him.
Eddie seems to glitch out, “¿Sabes español?”
“Eso si.”
Eddie sucks his teeth, “Dios mio, now I gotta deal with that; alright, lets go, crotch-goblins, gotta get you home. Be back soon, cariño!” He yells to Steve, still on the front step before he points to Erica and shuts the door in her face.
“I still have no idea what he’s calling me. Why don’t you just tell me? You know spanish.” Steve asks Robin as he comes back inside and closes the door.
“Yeah, but I don’t want to intrude.”
“You literally translated secret russian code, is that not intruding?”
“Yeah, but like, they don’t matter. Eddie does.” He’s looking at her like she’s crazy. “It feels like spying on a friend.”
“Whatever you say, Buckley.”
“Just ask Eddie to teach you. He could use the practice”
“What do you mean? He’s fluent isn’t he?”
“Well, he really only has Wayne to speak spanish with regularly, sometimes me, but usually it’s english. He could start to lose it.”
“That can happen?”
“Yeah, sometimes. I don’t have many people to talk to in Italian, so that’s my worst language. I used to be fluent in that too but if I don’t use it, I lose it.” she shrugs and Steve takes that in. 
“I just want to know what he’s calling me, it’s not anything bad is it?”
She smiles softly at him, “No Dingus, it’s not bad. Promise.”
They clean up the rest of the stuff lying around from the kids being there, Robin is rambling on about something that happened at her last solo shift at work, and Steve’s trying to contain his nerves.
“Querido, Estoy en casa!” Eddie yells from the doorway when he gets back. “Now what’s this surprise?”
“Let me guess, ‘Honey, I’m home’?” Steve asks, rounding the corner from the kitchen, still drying his hands.
Eddie points at him, “You got it, Querido.” and gives him a wink before waltzing his way into the living room in front of Steve. 
Steve rolls his eyes fondly, and wills the heat that’d crept up on his face from being called ‘Honey’ away while he puts the towel back in the kitchen.
“Okay,” he claps his hands when he walks into the living room, his two friends sitting on the couch in front of him “I have a proposal for you.”
“Oh, Stevie! Of course I’ll marry you!” Eddie jumps up and immediately koalas onto Steve, causing him to take a stabilizing step backward.
“Not that kind of proposal, Eds.” Steve chuckles and goes to unwrap Eddie’s arms and legs from around him.
“So you’re not gonna make an honest woman outta me?” Robin says from the couch as Steve comes around the coffee table, Eddie still latched to his front.
“No, Robs, still not that kind of proposal, sorry.”
Steve finally gets Eddie’s limbs out from around him over the couch so he bounces to a landing on the couch next to Robin.
“That’s bogus..”
“Here.” Steve hands them each a manila folder from the mantle, each one with their name written on it in a thick black marker.
“Okay, here goes. So it’s been a year since Vecna, Will and El both haven’t felt hide nor hair of him since, and since these goddamn events usually happen at least once a year, I think we are in the clear.” He pauses to knock on the wooden coffee table. “So I figure now that Eddie is healed all the way, and he and Wayne are set up well enough again with their hush money, Max is doing pretty good at her physical therapy, the Byers are back in town with a not-dead Hopper….well.”
He gestures to their folders, and they both look down at the same time, like they’d forgotten they were there.
As they open them and start flipping through their stack of papers, Steve continues. “Robin, I know you wanted to take a gap year anyway, so I put down entry for the fall of ‘87 on the applications I sent in, I hope that’s okay.” She looks up at him in shock. “There’s a great International Relations program there too if you want to stay after you get your core classes out of the way? But there are a couple acceptance letters in there so you can take your pick. And I got a job at this little diner nearby to the campus just because I wanted to, but I will pay your way if you want since I’m the one who applied for you so you can just live off your hush money.”
“A-and Eddie, I asked around and there’s a great underground music scene that I think you’d fit right into, and I met a guy named Daryl who was real nice and owned a music shop down the road from the diner who is uhm…something? He wrote “call me” and his number on the flyer he gave me so I feel like it’d maybe be safe for you to work there i-if you wanted to, you know. You could also just live off your hush money. I don’t mind.”
Both of them are stock still and dead quiet. He finally looks down at them on the couch.
Both of their faces are blank, like they don’t know what it is they are supposed to feel, which, Steve supposes, is better than pissed off.
“Oh fuck, this was too much wasn’t it? Sorry, sorry, just pretend I didn’t say anything, I’ll just—“ he reaches for their papers and they both jerk away from him at the same time.
“Fuck off, this is my stack of papers, get your own!” Eddie yells at the same time Robin yells “No! I’m keeping these forever!” and Steve pulls his hands back in surrender.
“You still haven’t gotten to the proposal part, Dingus. What’s going on?”
“Oh! Uhm, I bought a house? In Indianapolis? My parents are staying away after the earthquake, and sold the house so I leave to sign the last papers and get the keys in two weeks. So that means Eddie can finish his D&D thing in time too.”
They’re quiet for a beat again, then Eddie asks “You bought a house?”
“Yeah, with the money I saved up from Scoops and Family Video, plus what my parents would leave..I only had to use a little bit of my government money in the end. It’s not much, and it needs work that’s why I got it as cheap as I did, but it has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and—actually, I put pictures at the bottom of your stacks if you want to-“
They both shuffle their papers around until they find what they’re looking for. Then immediately look at the others’ like they are comparing notes.
“Robin, that’s the bedroom at the front of the house, it’s got two windows and one has a window seat, so you’ll get plenty of light, and Eddie, your bedroom is the one in the back corner, it’s only got one window but it’s pretty big and I thought that maybe you’d like that one since it just looks out into the woods like yours used to in your trailer. I was going to take the master, but Robin, if you want that instead so you don’t have to share a bathroom with one of us, that’s cool too, I don’t mind.” Steve rushes it all out.
“You want us to move with you?” Eddie’s voice is quiet, eyes wide.
“Uhm, yeah. I do. That’s the proposal. I figured I’d ask you guys to come with. That way we’re out of Hawkins but still close enough if something does happen,” Steve knocks on the coffee table again with two knuckles, “Robin can go to school, and hopefully Indy is far enough out of the way that Eddie can make a clean-ish start?
“And you don’t have to pay rent, It’s all paid for with cash so just maybe buy groceries, or help with the utilities? Or none of it! Like I said, I kinda just thrust this upon you, so no worries if you want to just mooch.” he huffs out a nervous laugh.
Eddie and Robin take a look at each other then Robin is shooting off the couch and (almost tripping) over the coffee table to latch onto Steve
“Of course I’m coming with you, Dingus, we’re two halves of a whole idiot, we gotta stick together.” She unhooks from him and starts wandering away up the stairs, talking about ‘We gotta tell Keith, and my mom is going to be so excited, but she’s definitely going to think I’m pregnant or something,’ like she’s going to pack away her overnight bag from the guest room and be ready to go just like that.
“Eddie? What about you? I get it if you don’t, but like I said, I figured you’d want to get out of here too an–” 
“Joder si, pendejo! I’m not gonna turn down a chance to get the fuck outta here!” He jumps up and crashes into Steve once again, squeezing him tight. “It means a lot that you’d want me to come with, Stevie.” He says quietly over Steve’s shoulder.
Steve wraps his arms around Eddie and stuffs his face into his curls, he smells like cinnamon. “Of course Eddie, anytime.”
Eddie pulls back with a soft smile, and gives Steve a look that makes him want to melt into a puddle. Eddie’s gaze flicks down momentarily, then there's a creak from the stairs and Eddie lets him go, backing towards the door. “I gotta go tell Wayne, he’s really going to be excited for me to get outta his hai–out from under his feet.”
Steve busts out laughing at that “I’m so gonna tell him that you said that.”
“You better not, pendejo, otherwise he’ll kill me dead and you’ll have one less roommate!” then Eddie’s turning and flying out the door to his van, taking off toward his and his uncle's new shared apartment. 
“Okay, that one’s bad.” Robin says when she’s come down the stairs.
“Pendejo?”
“Yeah, it means ‘asshole’.” She laughs at Steve’s hurt expression, “Oh don’t take it too seriously, Dingus, obviously he was saying it in a joking way.”
“I really need to learn spanish.”
---------
I translated the best I could, PLEASE tell me if something is off in translation:
"¡Ya deja de chingar! Ándale, ándale!" - basically, "Stop your bitching! Hurry up!"
“¿Sabes español?” - You know spanish?
"Eso si" - Yes indeed (my husband says this one a lot lmao)
"cariño" - sweetheart
"Dios mio" - oh my god
“Querido, Estoy en casa!” - Honey, I'm home! (Querido meaning honey, darling, love, etc.)
"Joder si, pendejo!" - Fuck yeah, asshole! (said affectionately :) )

Summary: General headcanons.

[𝙼𝚒𝚔𝚎]
He'd be very hesitant to try any illegal (or legal, depending where you live) substance.
You gotta be on very close terms, and he needs to trust you a lot.
Would be surprised, first of all, when you offered.
I imagine he was a "good boy" throughout his life, so he'd have to think about it.
But if you finally get to it, he'd be quite fun.
After he goes through the several coughing fits, of course.
You make sure to bring him something cold to drink though, to help with the burning throat.
I imagine he'd focus on all the touchy-feely aspects of weed, like enjoying soft fabric, the euphoria, better music and so on.
It'd be quite an adorable sight of him "discovering" those.
The both of you had already prepared everything for a good smoking session, or so you thought. You noticed you didn't have a tv remote nearby to change the screen to Netflix, so you had to leave Mike alone on the couch for a moment. Mike felt all tingly and slightly dazed, nothing he had ever experienced before. It was both terrifying and kinda cool. He patiently waited for your return, but as he got slightly bored, his eyes began to wander around. His focus got fixated on a fluffy blanket you were supposed to cover yourself with. He gently picked it up with curiosity. His fingers just touched the nicest fabric known to man. It took you a while, but you eventually found the remote. Which was left in your room. You should really watch where you put your things while stoned. You couldn't hide the smile you had on your face as you noticed Mike getting comfy with the fluffy blanket. He made his lower half into a burrito, fidgeting with the tip of the blanket with his hands. After he noticed you staring he immediately stopped, though. "Oh- You're back." He smiled nervously. "You mind sharing that blanket?" You smiled back, nearing closer to the boy. "Right, of course, you can come here." He changed his position as he quickly reacted. You got under the blanket with the remote in your hand, sitting next to him as your side touched his. "It's- very comfy." He quietly remarked with a shy smile as a fact, but also to explain his "weird" behavior. "Not as much as you." You joked as you leaned your head on his shoulder, flashing a silly smile. His face flushed a slight shade of red as he chuckled.
Not that he'd demand it, but... If you pet his head, he'd appreciate it a lot 👉👈
Do it please, he'll melt.
[𝙼𝚊𝚕]
Surprisingly, he never tried it.
Ok, he may have, once or twice, but it was with a bad crowd most probably, so that doesn't count.
He'd also have to trust you quite a lot to be exposed to such an activity, it'd leave him vulnerable, after all.
But if you're close together then it wouldn't be such a big deal for him.
Weed paranoia might set in if the vibe in his mind ain't right though.
Then he'd be closed off and not really having fun.
But if not, he'd be quite chiller version of himself.
And you try your best so he'd be comfy.
"So- How do you feel?" You asked, looking at him. An idea has already formed in your head, but for now, you try to test the waters. He reciprocated the stare briefly, taking a second to process what has been said to him. "I'm- fine. Why do you ask?" "Do you wanna feel even better?" You ambiguously (in his pov) asked. He raised an eyebrow at you. You could've worded yourself better, but it's what you have to roll with now. "I mean-" You tried to explain yourself, but it's hard to form words in your state. At least you and him are both stoned, so it's unlikely Mal would cringe too much at you. "Since we're watching a movie, and I see you sitting so tense, why don't you- lay down?" You lightly suggested. He shot you yet another confused stare. "You care a lot about my comfort now, huh?" He asked you in a bit poking fun way, but it was all lighthearted - at least you thought so. "I'm very hospitable to my guests, what can I say?" You smoothly tried to save your face. He rolls his eyes at you, after which he smirks slightly. "Alright. But what about you? What if I take all of the couch space?" He raised his brow in a bit amused manner. "You know, you can just put your head on my lap." The words spilt out of your mouth. You got some surprised yet entertained at your boldness stare. "Don't think it's gonna become a habit." He 'warned' you before hesitating for a second and carefully placing himself down. His head awkwardly leaned on your lap. He wasn't used to being in such position. "And that's supposed to be comfy?" He was laying on his back as he looked you straight in the eyes with a halfly playful and doubtful expression. You noticed it was your cue, so you gently raised your hand to touch his hair. He got slightly alarmed at what you're doing, but after your fingers touched his hair and made the first pet, his expression softened a little. His face remained neutral, although it was visible from his body language that he actually enjoyed the closeness. "...So? Feeling comfy yet?" You playfully asked, playing with his hair. It was quite fluffy, as you expected. "Hm... I agree it is enjoyable to have a useful pawn at your disposal." He joked with a slightly silly smirk.
Surprisingly enough, he'd be quite funny when watching some shitty movies.
Like this guy has some sick ass roasts for the bad characters + stupid plot mixture.
Sorry but Mal strikes me as a hidden comedian.
Of course, it's only funny if you're into his humor though.
Loves listening to music high, the lyrics just flow in his head.
Are you up for listening to My Chemical Romance with him??
[𝚅𝚒𝚝𝚘]
This boy must have smoked some before.
Or at least seems like the type who would.
He'd be way more annoying with his flirts.
Weed gives him confidence, and it's already oozing out of him enough while sober.
An opposite of Mal, in a sense that Vito just cannot be funny.
You may only laugh at how bad his jokes are (respectfully).
This won't stop him from having a good time and laughing at his own jokes though.
To be fair, on weed everything is way funnier, so Vito passes the hilarity scale anyway .
He also laughs at the dumbest things.
Show him funny videos compilation and he'll have a good time.
Would get even lazier.
Expect him to be all over the couch.
Oops, guess there's no place to sit now.
Better go cuddle with him.
You just came back from going to the kitchen to get some more food and here you saw your place on the couch taken. "Vito." You shot him a half-serious glare, to which he just stretched more comfortably. "Hm? Oh, did ya really like that spot on the couch?" He said looking at you, playful and smug. You rolled your eyes at him, waiting for him to move. He didn't. He just looked at you, as if testing your patience. "Sorry, I look too good right now to move from this place." He playfully stuck out his tongue with a smirk. You took it as a challenge, so you just squeezed yourself in-between the couch and him, making him almost fall off the couch when he lost balance. "Aye, yo- you gonna drop the goods-" He quickly remarked as he got his balance back. You chuckled and caught him with your arm on his side, supporting his body so he wouldn't fall down. He readjusted into a comfier position, facing you. "Ain't it better laying here?" He said with a smirk.
Perfect fit to watch movies while cuddling.
Especially some cool, action ones.
That way he can tell you how he's as amazing as those guys in the movie, and that he could do anything, like that guy from Need for Speed.
If you disagree, he'll be very disappointed.
[𝚂𝚟𝚎𝚝𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚊]
It'd be... an usual sight to see her smoke.
I mean, she's so active and energetic-
It kind of translates to something else when she's high.
She loves to talk on weed.
"Vant me to tell you zat one time I got a golden medal?" The enthusiasm was fully visible on her face. "Of course." You nodded lazily but with curiosity. "Oh, great! It vas near the time I performed my first backflip!" She reminisced and continued. "I'll tell you about zat too!"
She's so social, talkative, expressive and overall joyous.
You think it's quite adorable, and you don't mind listening.
You forget everything she said after few minutes anyway.
Don't worry, she'll say it again, with the same enthusiasm.
But don't take her as a selfish one, she'd love to intently listen to your stories too!
She'll try her best to remember them as well.
On a funny scale, Sveta is most likely the 3rd funniest one, I don't make the rules (I do actually)
She can be a bit- savage, if she wants to.
Especially when it amuses you.
She loves to see your smile.
She's also such a cuddlebug!
Loves to stay close to you, you're like her personal pillow.
You noticed the window to your room being open. You didn't mind a slightly colder room, but you wondered if Svetlana was bothered by it. "Hey, Sveta, are you cold?" You asked casually, gaining her focus. "Are you?" She looked at you like a concerned mother. "Nah, I'm fine." You calmed her down, although you couldn't deny the dirty truth. "I mean, maybe a bit, but I'm too lazy to go close it." "Oh, zis is unacceptable-" She scooted closer to you as she said halfly-jokingly and embraced you tightly. She gently laid you down with her body weight and put herself on your chest. You felt her arms holding you as she had a warm smile on her face, giving you a nice source of heat now. "Is zat better?"
[𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚝𝚝]
He'd be a total dork.
He has never smoked weed, but will act like an expert.
"Hey, Scott, you sure you're gonna handle that much?" You asked, concerned about Scott's wellbeing after you noticed his share of weed. "Psh, I'm gonna be fine!" He brushed you off with a simple gesture with his hand. You watched as the boy with freckles on his face got the bong in his hands and started to inhale the smoke. He tried his damn best, but he couldn't stop the attack of sudden coughing it gave him. "Ih'm- Good-" He managed to cough out.
After trying to appear cooler, he'd behave a lot more dumber.
Which made it harder for you to stop giggling after each of his response.
"So- Whatchu wanna watch?" You asked him lazily. "Wha- Huh-" He looked around, thrown off of his thoughts. You laughed softly at his state. "...What was the question again?" He looked at you, really dumbfounded. "What movie do you want to watch?" You repeated with a chuckle. "...One that has moving pictures in it."
He also wouldn't be able to resist the food.
The pure joy in his eyes once he took a bite out of the pizza you ordered before smoking-
Is also a lot more excited for things, like "Woah, there are still onion rings left? Amazing!"
Is also down for like, anything you suggest.
Wanna watch a movie? Got it.
Wanna watch the paint dry? Sure thing.
(He used to it for fun as a child, anyways)
Wanna sit on the floor, stopping whatever you were doing to pet your dog/cat? Count him in!
His whites turn so red because of his blue eyes- (I experienced it first hand)
[𝙶𝚠𝚎𝚗]
She totally smokes weed on her own, from time to time.
So she's not as afraid to do it with you for the first time.
Her social anxiety would be slightly lowered, and so she wouldn't be as self-conscious to get vulnerable around you.
She would probably have a good time.
Also would get more touchy, she rediscovered her biggest weakness, affection.
She usually doesn't receive much of it, given her closed off and calm body language around others.
She'd be the one to ask for permission to touch your hair (if you're close, of course).
She loves to play with it, you're like a personal kitty to her.
Loves watching horror movies with you!
Whether bad or not, she's up.
Her favorites are Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street and Scary Movie series, which she enjoys a bit ironically (not all of the jokes from the movie aged well).
If you're scared of horror though, she'll light up the mood with silly jokes and lots of cuddling.
She looks the best in her cozy pajamas, laying on the bed with you.
Sorry Gwen-fans, no little situation bit for Gwen 😔 I'm feeling uncreative on this one
[𝙽𝚘𝚊𝚑]
You wouldn't expect him to actually agree to smoke weed with you.
Turns out, he's up for it.
I mean, he never saw it as anything spectacular, but could understand why people do it.
Never planned on doing it himself, but since you offered, he's slightly curious to try.
Que nonchalant coughing after inhaling too much on the first try.
Don't make fun of him.
Would internally salivate after the hunger hit him like a train right when he finished smoking.
"So- What do you want to eat first?" You casually asked. He waited a bit before answering. "Anything works, really." You passed him a very good looking, chocolate donut. He took it into his hands, looking at it a bit before taking a bite. His eyes opened a bit wider while experiencing the explosion of flavor from it. "I never thought I'd know what Owen feels like on the daily."
Would get like, 10x funnier.
Watch a movie with him, it'll be a blast.
He's the type to sarcastically comment on a cheap 3D during a movie scene. "Geez, if I wanted to watch a bad production, I'd watch Total Drama."
Would probably cringe after the smoking session was over though.
As if he shown "too much of his bad side", which he usually smoothly tries to hide.
But it wouldn't be such a big deal, he just isn't in the mood to hear your teasing at something silly he might have done then.
Actually would be up to smoking again, it seems like a blast.
[𝙲𝚘𝚍𝚢]
Yes he smoked all the weed, everytime and anywhere.
Don't actually let him smoke too much though, he'd get obliterated.
He has never tried weed, but wanted to try it with you, since you offered, and he thought it'd be a good idea.
But he found out he's slightly paranoid after it.
And his awkwardness doubles.
I mean, how can he not, he has to show his best self to you!
He calms down once you put him in a good place mentally.
He can't stay in his limbo of intrusive thoughts if he's got a bad joke to laugh at.
His honest laugh is so pure.
He didn't even know how much of a sweet tooth he'd become after smoking.
He likes sweet to a relatively normal degree while sober, but boy oh boy that chocolate bar is looking good right now-
He won't stop eating them unless you tell him to leave you some, to which he'd embarrassingly chuckle at. "Sorry-"
If he's feeling brave after all of that character development, he might subtly suggest snuggling together.
He just got to see how amazing it is to have a heightened sense of touch, and he's not gonna waste it.
"Do you- also feel a bit cold?" He asked, trying to be casual. "No, actually. Do you?" You responded honestly, leaving him a bit out of options as to what to say. "Um... I- kinda- do-" He stayed 'nonchalant' as he fidgeted a little with his hands, trying to keep his body language neutral. You didn't think a lot before responding back. "You can come closer, I don't mind." You casually said. You didn't really mind the close proximity while high, you liked having someone to casually lean onto. And you certainly didn't mind it with him. "Oh, that's fine then-" He scooted over to you in a smooth, yet a bit hesitant manner. You felt Cody's warm side beside yours. "If it's not weird with you, you can like- comfortably lay on me, if you want." You lightheartedly and carefully suggested, not wanting to seem like a weirdo, in case he's not as open to physical touch. Cody's eyes widened a little, but he wasn't about to decline your offer. "O-okay!" He exclaimed, trying to contain his excitement, not to seem too desperate for any sort of affection right now. He entangled his arm slightly into yours to get even closer, after which he leaned his head on your shoulder. "Amazing..." He mumbled to himself with a goofy smile, hoping you wouldn't hear.
If you're like his best friend and he's comfy around you, prepare yourself for a karaoke night of stupid songs like California Girls.
This boy can get silly.

random avatar hc's cause I'm bored. (these fall closer to canon, and not for one of my au's, so like... vaguely 'normal' spider, not so nice neytiri, etc. unless specified otherwise)
spider and tuk are besties. the way she sorta hides behind spider when she blows a raspberry at lo'ak? she knows he'd take her side in a fight. spider will never tell her she's "too big" for anything, he literally works out partly because he wants to be able to carry her for as long as possible. he goes out of his way to play with her when her siblings ditch her. take whole days to just follow tuk around and do what she wants to do. she made him a songchord and goes to sit with eywa with him so he won't be alone. doesn't get why people don't like him, cause she thinks he's the best. so she tries to make him happy when they're together. pisses neytiri off, cause she always wants to spend time with spider, even when she tells tuk not to (it makes spider sweat bullets, cause tuk refuses to let go of his hand and neytiris just glaring at him, and he almost wants to beg her to let go)
ao'nung is also tuks best friend. they bully each other, but get offended if anyone insinuates they don't like each other. she's still mad at him for being mean when they first met, won't let him live it down, even years after the fact. braids his hair all. the. time, he can't get her to stop touching it.
even outside of my blessed spider au, spider has connected with eywa, cause she accepted him no matter what, he just doesn't tell anyone. she knows how to connect to humans now, via her roots, so she connects with the boy. he feels like if he points it out he'll get in trouble or he'll be 'using eywa' to get what he wants (which isn't true, but the boy has some irrational fears cause ✨trauma✨)
ao'nung and rotxo 'dated' as kids, like schoolyard crush type dating, cause they were really young. it lasted a few years (on and off) from like 6ish to 10/11, but to this day, they're still very close. like, its odd to find them not touching each other or cuddling or holding hands. they're inseparable and have no clue what personal space is, at all. they still say "I love you", kiss eachother's cheeks/foreheads, ao'nung is possessive, roxto is always talking about him. they're platonic they swear (not a soul believes them).
neteyam doesn't want to be chief, sometimes he hates being jakes son because of the weight on his shoulders, but he doesn't complain cause he doesn't want to be a disappointment, and he doesn't want to watch his siblings struggle to carry the weight themselves.
spider self soothes by brushing a thumb over his own cheek or running his fingers through his hair or holding his own hand. he's so insanely touch-starved its not even funny.
he's also a maladaptive daydreamer. I got no solid reason, it just feels right. gotta deal with his loneliness and metric ton of big feelings in one way or another.
he also feels the urge to talk to himself, a lot, especially when he's out alone in the woods. he just happens to think the ato'kirina are a coincidence (eywa listens to him attentively like a mother should).
spider tends to 'ignore' signs of eywa when it comes to himself, because he can't accept that eywa would ever wish to connect to or guide him. (its a running theme in my hc's)
after sorting out their drama, ao'nung is really close to lo'ak. after neteyam's death he sorta becomes his big brother. their dynamic is a mess, but they make it work. ao'nung is sorta like a punching bag for lo'ak a lot of the time (like hopper and mike in that one scene in season 2 of stranger things). ao'nung hates watching him mourn (he wishes he had died instead. for more then one reason, but that's a big one). other times they're super sweet on each other, play roughhousing, just hanging out, lightly teasing one another. they're my messy boys.
kiri refuses to pick between spider and rotxo. they don't mind. polycule for the win.
spider isn't immediately accepted by the metkayina, but he tries really really hard to prove himself, and does make some sort of name for himself. they may not all like him, but they respect him.
spider learned to treat bullet wounds after having to sit behind neteyam, staring at the bullet hole, and not knowing what to do. he blames himself for neteyams death, but he thinks that if he knew what to do, if hadn't frozen, if he'd known what to do, maybe he would have lived.
ao'nung has a disproportionate level of big brother instinct, relative to his general asshole personality. he's insanely protective of anything smaller them then him, even if he himself hates it. aka, even before he accepted spider into his friend group, or the village as a whole, he was instinctively protective, embarrassingly so. still kicks himself for getting lo'ak hurt (he meant to scare the piss out of him sure, but he never wanted him to get hurt) and he genuinely cringes, one of those full body shakes type cringes, when he thinks about it. he hates its.
spider doesn't know how to properly show affection after always being denied it, having to suppress it (not being able to affectionate with the other sully kids in front of the elders), etc. so now he sorta just struggles. the sully kids don't really notice how he hides his affections, how he's timid about it, what he considers to be affection. the metkayina kids are not used to it, they are genuinely concerned. spider is genuinely afraid to be nice to people when not in private. he's deathly afraid of receiving affection in front of others.
tsireya and ao'nung (sorta rotxo too, but he's dating him, so its kinda different) forcibly adopt him after a while, they can't help it. he's like a kicked puppy, its hard not to love him.
roxto's grandma (who raised him, canon, cause i said so) and all his brothers and sisters (he has a big family, mostly adopted siblings,) love spider, so he has a little makeshift family.
spider would, whether he was accepted as one or not, become a warrior after what happened that night in the forest (getting kidnapped) and what happened on the ship/to neteyam. he won't let himself be taken off guard again, he won't let the people he loves, even if they don't love him back, get hurt again. he vows his life to the na'vi, to pandora, to Eywa herself; he will die before he loses someone else.
spider and lo'ak orange cat energy, kiri and tuk have tortie energy (sassy queen), roxto is a tuxedo cat, ao'nung and neteyam are black cats, tsireya has tabby vibes (sweet but sassy). (fight with the wall)

Hey! I was wondering if you could write a romantic headcannon of the Rise bros doing their own things and s/o appearing out of nowhere demanding cuddles? You now, if you have time and only if you want to
Tumblr media
Neon Leon
He had been practicing some skate boarding tricks on the ramp when you appeared
He didn’t see you at first until you called out to him
“Leo! Can we cuddle?”
He may or may not have screamed
Lost his balance and face planted on the ramp
Ofc you rushed over to check on him
Thankfully he was fine, just a little bruised
“Guess I really fell for you, huh? Get it?”
Leo.
He doesn’t really mind all that much when you demand cuddles
He just gets caught off guard often
Especially since you seem to just pop out of nowhere
Can you portal or something???
After double checking that he’s okay,
He’ll gladly go to cuddle with you on the couch or in his bed
“You gotta kiss my bruise to make it better though.”
“Deal.”
Loves to cuddle with you
He does move around a lot though
Cant stay still for too long
But put on his favorite Jupiter Jim movie while cuddling, and y’all are good to go
Loves to be little spoon or cuddle on top of you
Favorite thing to do is bury his face in the crook of your neck or rest his head against your stomach
You two will just be cuddling and then-
“I can hear your stomach rumbling.”
“Oh my gosh, get up then-“
“No! It’s cute!”
4/5 doesn’t mind when you demand cuddles but always talks about how he can hear your stomach rumbling
Don Tron
He’ll be tinkering away at one of his projects in his lab, or playing a video game
You just walk in and stand near him quietly
You don’t tend to pop in out of nowhere since sometimes he’s working on something a tad bit- explosive
“…”
“…”
“…you want cuddles don’t you?”
“Yes.”
Depending on how much he can handle touch that day, he’ll either-
Get up and cuddle with you on his bed or on the couch
Both of you watching shows or YouTube videos on his tablet
Likes being big spoon
Feels very exposed when he cuddles as little spoon, usually has to take off his battle shell for this
But he trusts you, so he’ll let you be big spoon occasionally
Or
He’ll offer to sit with you
Usually on bean bags of your own, but still next to each other
He may hold your hand or just rest against you slightly
It’s not that he doesn’t enjoy cuddling with you
He just doesn’t feel up to physical contact some days, especially for long periods of time
Still does his best to make sure you’re both happy
3.5/5 depends on the day but he’s doing his best &lt;3
Mystic Mike
You usually can find him drawing away or in the kitchen
You just burst in and pop yourself next to him
“Cuddles!”
He himself pops up out of nowhere often so he doesn’t get as surprised when you do it compared to his brothers
If he’s busy with cooking or in the middle of focusing on his art,
He’ll pause for a second and give you a big smooch before finishing whatever he’s doing
“Just one sec! Gotta finish this but I promise to cuddle you as long as you want right after!”
Holds his promise and holds it well
He’ll get snacks and drinks for y’all and set it near by
Sets up his phone or the tv so you two have something to watch
Or to just have it as background noise
He switches positions a lot when cuddling
Cant really stay still but doesn’t want to stop cuddling with you
One way to get him to stay still for a bit is to cuddle him while he’s partly, or fully, in his shell
Likes being little spoon
But loves when you both hold each other
Likes being able to look at you when talking
Also likes that he can give you kisses easily in this position
Plus he gets to hug you and you can hug him at the same time!
It’s a win win!
4.5/5 also moves around a lot but makes up for it with lots of snuggling and kisses
Big Red
Raph usually wanders around the lair so you have to look for him a bit
He screams loudly when you pop out of nowhere demanding cuddles
“Raph! Can we cuddle???” You ask, perched on top of the fridge.
“HOW DID YOU EVEN GET UP THERE!?”
He’s absolutely down to cuddle though
If he’s on the move for some reason,
He just picks you up, grabs a blanket, and wraps you up like a burrito before carrying you around
This way he can cuddle you and finish doing whatever it was he was doing
If he’s not busy though, he just picks you up and cuddles you anywhere
Couch? Yes!
Bed? Absolutely!
Beanbags? Sure!
Everything is occupied? Use him as a bed then!
He doesn’t mind
Loves to be big spoon
But if you’re larger than him, he enjoys being little spoon too
Does get worried that his spikes will hurt you tho
Usually will face you instead of having his back towards you
If you’re smaller though,
He just wraps himself around you
He literally becomes your bed and blanket
Gives you smooches on your forehead and cheeks
Usually plays soft music or just cuddles quietly
5/5 makes you feel so secure and relaxed
I hope you enjoyed!!
Sorry this took so long- got motivated to finish this at 2:27am ashshhagah

Levi X Reader where she makes horrendous jokes and stuff. Like just sitting at the table in the dining hall and someone says something outta line and reader is like “ Instead of being a little bitch, how about you go pull some for a change?” Or something like “ Hey I get why you’re such an asshole, I would be to if my dick was the size of a thumb.” It can really be any type of outta pocket joke. But how would Levi react to that. Can this be non established relationship so he is still trying to hide his admiration but when she says stuff like that it’s gets hard and he just full on laughs at one of her jokes one day infront of everyone

Funny joke
Pairing: Levi x Fem!Reader
Genre and tags: Canon world, fluff, hidden feelings, mutual pinning.

Levi was exhausted and in desperate need of sleep. He wanted just to rest and he wanted you. Levi had strong feelings for you and had held them for a while now. He wanted to tell you how he felt but he wasn't sure how to go about it because he'd never felt this way about anyone before.
He released a long sigh as he dragged his heavy feet down the stone hall. He cringe a little when he heard the loud voices of cadets and fellow vets coming from the lit up doorway. He paused in his tracks and huffed another sigh as he got ready to face a rowdy bunch of people.
He turned the corner and saw the hall was full. He scanned the room with his tired steel blue eyes until his heart skipped a beat. He locked onto you as you grinned at Mike laughing hard. Levi felt a blush creep over his cheeks. He hurried through the hall and collected his food and tea.
You turned your head and smirked at Levi as he sat next to you. "Alright, Captain?"
Levi cleared his throat. "Lieutenant."
You winked at him before turning to Mike. "Seriously Mike, I'm pretty sure you're dealing with a tree in there. You'll knock a poor woman out if ya turn and she's on her knees."
Mike laughed. "You might be right."
Oluo clicked his tongue. "Do you have to be so crass?"
You smirked. "Why don't you stop sucking on Levi's towels to get his body fluids inside you so you can be him and just accept you have gnats dick so we can all move on with our lives. Honestly, it's getting a bit sad now."
Oluo blushed hard. "I'm not-!"
"Bet you snort his dandruff."
"I would never!"
You smirked and mocked his voice. "Oh Levi you taste so gooood."
Everyone started laughing hard, but one laugh seemed to cut through everyone. You all slowly turned to look at Levi laughing so hard he was crying. You blushed bright red at seeing the man you adored so much getting a kick out of your joking and banter.
Levi wiped his tears away and cleared his throat. "Sorry."
You smiled softly. "Don't be sorry. I'm honoured you find me funny."
He cleared his throat. "You're hilarious and very right. He does seem like he does all that."
You hummed a little laugh. "He does, right? I love your jokes too. You're so funny."
"Thanks." He felt so happy in his little world with you, but then he noticed a strong gaze on him. He slowly looked over to see Hange grinning at him. "Tch, fuck off four eyes."
You stood up and sighed. "Well, I'm off to my office. Thank you for the fun chats, but I gotta work."
Mike glanced at Levi. "Hm, Levi?"
Levi peeled his eyes from you walking away and looked at his tall friend. "Yeah?"
He nodded towards you. "Follow her. Go to her office and help her with paperwork. She's seen you in a different light. It's not or never."
Levi shot to his feet and nodded. "You're right. I'll go to her."
"I won't wish you luck because I know that the next time I see you both, you'll be a couple. So, see you soon."
Levi bowed his head a little. "Later."

Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 2)
Tumblr media
So, let's continue with my FNaF Movie Review. If you want to see Part 1, the link is below:
Five Nights at Freddy's (Movie Review, Part 1)
I had to make two separate parts because of crossing the image limit I was allowed on Tumblr. Part 1 contains a non-spoiler review, as well as a spoiler review of the characters and story with a warning for those who haven't seen the movie. Part 2 covers the finale of the movie, as well as the main villain.
MOVIE SPOILERS!!!!
Now, let's get to our main attraction!
Tumblr media
Ahhh, William Afton... Seriously, whenever the animatronics weren't stealing the show, this guy would take the spotlight in every scene he was in. I was legit looking forward to his character in the movie, and he never disappointed.
He appears as an unassuming career counselor, Steve Raglan (missed opportunity there to call him Dave Miller), who gives Mike a job after learning that he is the older brother of the kid he had murdered, even saying how the owner ''was too sentimental to let go of the pizza place''. Yeah, when I heard that, I knew immediately he was talking about himself.
Tumblr media
During the movie, we learn that William has somehow influenced the Ghost Children to trust him and hunt down Abby to make her his next victim, with the climax having Chica almost stuffing Abby into a springlock suit and Foxy hunting her down (this is both a The Silver Eyes and Into The Pit reference!), while Mike deals with all of them (and gets his leg damaged by Carl the Cupcake).
Tumblr media
I will admit, I almost screamed when I saw Spring Bonnie approaching Mike, and the latter's futile attempts to fight him off.
Tumblr media
William as Spring Bonnie is legit the creepiest and most awesome part of the whole movie, and I absolutely love how he chews the scenery as he confronts Mike, telling him he was behind the murders and how he will kill Mike as well, as well as siccing the animatronics on him.
Tumblr media
Oh, and I love the Ghostface reference here, gotta allude to Scream given the actor's career. X3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know I shouldn't be fangirling over the main villain of the story, but COM'N!, this guy is stealing the show and he enjoys what he's doing.
Tumblr media
As the movie reaches its climax, William confronts Vanessa, while Mike realizes that he can turn the Animatronics against William and asks Abby to help him. What does she do?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She makes a drawing that shows the truth (something that happened in The Fourth Closet). Also, just look at the gaze Abby gives to William. It screams: ''Now you're dead.''
Tumblr media
And William knows this. There is genuine fear and shock in his eyes, especially when the realization hits and the Animatronics surround him.
Tumblr media
They are pissed, and you'd think that William would turn into a sniveling coward and beg for mercy as they move to kill him. Yet, that doesn't happen.
Tumblr media
Instead, he remains defiant, delivering an epic rant to the Animatronics:
"Look at you… Look at the nasty things that you have become! Look at how small you are! How worthless you are! You are wretched, rotten little beasts! I made you!"
This prompts Chica to unleash the Cupcake, who takes the bite out of the suit and causes the springlocks to snap.
Tumblr media
The iconic springlock failure we're all familiar with is not a fountain of blood with William quickly dying. Instead, it is slow and agonizing, and William is doing his best not to scream in pain, falling onto his knees as he is dying and quickly grabbing the Spring Bonnie head as he delivers his iconic line:
Tumblr media
''I always come back!''
Now, this made me scream in excitement!
Tumblr media
Not only is this William's iconic line, but it also has a deeper meaning behind it. He knows that he can return to life by having his soul possessing an animatronic, and he's taking full advantage of it.
Tumblr media
While Mike, Abby and Vanessa book it out of the pizzeria as everything starts falling apart, the Animatronics grab the dying William and slowly drag him away, and it seems like the story of Freddy's is finally over... or is it?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We see William inside the Spring Bonnie suit, whimpering in agony as the Ghost Child that possessed Golden Freddy stares back at him, before closing the door on him, sealing the room shut, and honestly, I legit thought Hello Zepp from Saw was about to start to play during this scene.
youtube
Seriously, look at the scene and tell me you didn't think the same thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't, but the song that does play is more than appropriate!
youtube
YES, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S BY THE LIVING TOMBSTONE IS IN THE MOVIE!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!
Tumblr media
Overall, I LOVE this movie, and the very ending with Spring Bonnie...
Tumblr media
...or shall we call him, Springtrap, makes for a solid base for a sequel.
If you want to hear my ideas for a FNaF sequel or just want to discuss the movie, leave a response or a question in the inbox. I have SO much to say about this.

Gaslight, Chapter 13/48
Rated X | Read it here on AO3
He knocks again, then stands back to wait. What the hell are they doing in there? he wonders, shifting the six pack of beer he brought to the other arm. Poker night is every Thursday—it’s not like they aren’t expecting him. 
The night is cool and crisp, the clear indigo sky speckled with pinpricks of starlight. Trillions of miles traveled across the universe over thousands of years, just to be overpowered by skyscrapers and streetlights and the haze of the industrial revolution. He tips his face up and locates the Big Dipper, the North Star, Cassiopeia. It makes him at once feel insignificant—a speck on a rock in a pile in a quarry—and extraordinary. How many events throughout the history of time had to happen in precisely the way they did in order to bring him to this moment? It feels like destiny, which is both a comfort and a burden. 
Finally, the door pops open and he’s greeted by a tall blond man with thick glasses. 
“The party has arrived!” the man says jovially, standing aside to allow him entry. “Jeff’s here!” he hollers, and voices of the other two call out greetings from a nearby room. 
“I’ve been standing out there for ten minutes,” Jeff chides gently. “I thought you’d kicked me out of the coven.”
They enter a small dining room with a circular table surrounded by four chairs, two of them occupied.
“We were out back smoking a cigar,” the blond man explains as he takes his seat. “Cuban, the real deal.”
“And you didn’t wait for me?” Jeff asks, exaggerating his level of offense as he sits in the remaining chair. 
“Come on, man, we know Diana would have your balls if she smelled cigar smoke on you,” one of the other men says. He’s older than the other two, with wiry salt and pepper hair. 
“You’re not wrong,” Jeff agrees, cracking open a bottle of beer. “Let’s get this show on the road; who’s dealing?”
The third man, mahogany-skinned and handsome, shuffles the cards artfully, making a show of bridges and cascades as he smirks to himself. 
“Mike thinks he’s hot shit with his little card tricks,” the blond man says bitingly. “Just deal the things already, Mike. Jeff has a curfew.”
“Fuck off, Simon,” Mike shoots back. “I’m perfecting my craft.”
“Women are attracted to money, not junior high magic tricks,” Simon says, nudging the third man with his elbow. 
“I like magic tricks,” the third man comments self-consciously, and the other three laugh. 
“Somehow that doesn’t surprise me,” Mike says, shaking his head. “You always gotta be the weird one, don’t you, Frank?”
“Yeah, well, you won’t be laughing when I clean house,” Frank grumbles, and Mike finally deals out the deck. 
Frank does, in fact, clean house. They don’t play with real money, just chips, but that doesn’t hamper each man’s desire to win, nor his disappointment when Frank scoops up the lion’s share of the pile and begins stacking them enthusiastically. 
Simon checks his watch, then sighs and runs his hand through his hair. “I gotta head out in a half hour or so,” he says. “Marcy didn’t want me to stay too late.”
“Well, I guess Jeff isn’t the only one with a curfew,” Mike teases, and Simon shakes his head with a smile. 
“It’s not that, it’s just hard for her to get up with the baby at night right now, so I’ve been taking all that on.”
“Is she okay?” Jeff asks, his mind immediately going to the kinds of things that can cost you a sister. 
“Yeah, she’s fine, just tired. She’s, uh—she’s pregnant again, actually,” Simon offers, and all the eyebrows at the table shoot up to their hairlines. 
“No shit,” Frank says carefully. “Is that good news or bad news?”
“Surprising news,” Simon says. “But ultimately good. We didn’t really plan to have two this close together, but I guess fate had other ideas.”
“Congratulations,” Jeff offers, extending his hand. “That’s great.”
“Can’t say I miss those days,” Frank remarks, still stacking his chips. “Up at 3:00 am trying to get a baby back to sleep when you have to be up for work at 6:00? No thank you. I’m glad mine are all grown.”
“Thanks, Frank, that’s really kind of you to say,” Simon says, rolling his eyes. 
“I always miss my kids when they’re at Jenny’s,” Mike says sadly. “Being a dad is the best thing I’ve ever done.”
“Hey now, I love my kids,” Frank defends. “I’m just saying, waking up in the middle of the night fucking sucks.”
Jeff watches the exchange, unable to take part. He can relate to overbearing spouses and the perils of the working world, but he has nothing to offer on the subject of fatherhood. 
“I actually need to head out too,” he says as he stands and retrieves what remains of his beer. “Wouldn’t want anything unfortunate to happen to my balls.”
“Send our best to the warden,” Frank quips, earning him a warning look. 
He leaves them, a peel of laughter fading as he pulls the door closed behind himself and makes his way to his car. 
It does bother him a little, the way they talk about Diana. At the same time, what they say about her isn’t untrue. She is a little bit controlling, but not without due cause. He’s made mistakes in the past, ones he can never fully set right, and ones that justify Diana’s desire to know where he is and with whom. He promised her that he would do whatever it takes to make it up to her, and that has included checking in regularly and being home by midnight. Of course, his friends don’t know that, because he’s never told them. He’s too ashamed. So he accepts their cheap shots at his wife, and then drives home to her so he can prove again and again that she is the only one he wants to come home to. 
He slinks into the house quietly, shushing Frenchie’s barks as he enters through the laundry room. He walks towards the back of the house to let her outside, and is startled by Diana’s voice as he passes through the kitchen. 
“You’re late.”
He jumps a little, bringing his hand to his chest as he pulls the sliding glass door open and Frenchie slips out. 
“Jesus, you scared me,” he admits, though that was fairly obvious by his reaction. 
Diana is perched at the kitchen island wearing a silk nightgown, a glass of water on the counter before her. He looks at the time on the microwave display and then back to her pinched expression. 
“By four minutes, Diana,” he defends, indignant. 
She pulls in a deep breath, straightening her posture. 
“Where were you?” she asks. 
“At Frank’s, for poker night. Same as every Thursday. There was an accident on the turnpike,” he tells her, and his gut twists at the disbelieving look on her face. He steps closer, laying his hand over the top of hers on the countertop. “Diana—”
She pulls her hand out from under his and stands, walking to the sliding glass door to let Frenchie back in. 
“I believe you, Jeff. But call next time, okay?” she says tersely, and he nods. 
He lies awake in bed, and by Diana’s breathing, he can tell she is awake too. He feels guilty, but also angry that he feels guilty when he didn’t do anything wrong. He knows that he deserves this, knows he’s lying in a bed of his own making, but he still hates knowing that it will never go away. Six years later and she’s still watching him like a hawk. He thought it would get better over time, but it hasn’t. 
And then there’s Simon and his new baby. He was surprised by the pang of jealousy that lit up in his chest upon hearing the news, a sensation he’s never experienced before. He’s always considered he and Diana to be childfree by choice, but looking back, he doesn’t really recall weighing in on that decision. Diana never wanted to be a mother, and he wanted to be with Diana, and so it was simply part of the deal. Now, at nearly 39 years old, he suddenly wonders if being a father would suit him.
“Did you always know that you didn’t want children?” he asks out loud, and Diana’s breathing pauses briefly. 
“Where did that come from?” she questions.
“Marcy is pregnant again, and I was just thinking—”
A blustering sigh. 
“Jeff, are we really going to do this right now?” she asks, annoyed. 
“Do what?” he counters, equally irritated by her dismissiveness. 
Diana rolls to her side to face him, propping her head up on a fist. 
“Can you really see yourself giving up poker night, and sleeping in, and playing basketball on the weekend?” she asks, her tone shifting to something lighter. 
“I mean…I don’t think I’d have to give up all those things. Not forever, anyway,” he says. 
“Imagine walking into the office to find your rare book collection in tatters on the floor, covered in drool,” she teases, and he smiles. 
“That would be less than ideal,” he agrees. 
“Imagine having to stay quiet when we make love,” she continues, sliding her hand across his belly. 
“I’m not even sure that’s possible,” he says, now grinning. 
She hitches her leg up over his hip, straddling him, then peels the straps of her nightgown off her shoulders, revealing her breasts. 
“These are, and always will be, exclusively for you,” she says in a syrupy voice, then leans forward and brushes her lips over his. “Help me fall asleep, Jeff,” she whispers. 
Her nightgown finds its way to the floor, as do his boxers. She sits astride him, grinding with her eyes locked on his. She’s possessive, maybe a little desperate, though he’s not sure why. 
“That’s it,” she encourages him, her hands planted on his chest. Her eyes slide closed, her mouth falling open. “Yes, Fox,” she murmurs. 
When she collapses against his chest he rubs wide circles over her back, and his mind instantly returns to its wandering state. 
“What did you say about a fox?” he asks, and she stiffens. 
“What?” she asks breathlessly, her face tucked against his neck. 
“You said something about a fox, during—”
“I’m relatively certain I said ‘fuck.’ Sorry to offend your delicate senses,” she says somewhat defensively, rolling off of him. 
He turns toward her, laying a reassuring hand on her bare hip. 
“I’m not offended, Diana, I was just wondering—”
“Goodnight, Jeff. I have work in the morning, I need to get to sleep, if you don’t mind,” she says in a clipped tone. 
“Okay,” he acquiesces. “Goodnight.”
He waits for her to turn her face towards his so he can kiss her goodnight, but she keeps her back to him. He presses his lips to the curve of her shoulder, lingering there as a confusing mix of emotions swirl around in his chest. 
The life he has. The life he sometimes thinks he might want. The discrepancy between the two. He wonders why now, all of a sudden, he’s peeking over the fence at possibly greener grasses. Why the life he’s been content with for years suddenly doesn’t feel like enough. 
The rush of the waves fills his ears, calming him. A gull calls out, its shriek carried away on the wind as his toes sink into the sun-warm sand. He spies a child further down the shore, a boy with dirty blond hair building something with a shovel and a bucket. There is a feeling of recognition, a sense of knowing, though he cannot recall the child’s name, nor their relationship to one another. 
A strong wave pushes up beyond the waterline, sweeping across the child’s half-finished project and washing it into an indecipherable mound. The child’s shoulders slump, defeated, so he approaches and calls out to him.
“Oh, hey, buddy. That’s okay, you can build it again.”
He kneels down beside the boy and touches the child’s cheek, brushing an errant grain of sand from his downy skin. There’s something in the child’s eyes, something familiar that makes him feel a swell of affection and protectiveness. 
“Just start again,” he tells the child, reassuringly. 
He jolts awake, his heart racing. Frenchie stands from her bed on the floor, alerted by his sudden movement, and watches him for an indication of what’s next. 
“It’s okay, Frenchie,” he murmurs, rubbing his hands over his face. 
The night is still in full swing, only inky darkness peeking in around the blinds. He looks over at Diana’s sleeping form, her back still turned to him and her breathing even. It feels like only minutes have passed since he fell asleep. 
Wired from adrenaline, he stares at the ceiling and waits for the potential of sleep to return to him. His dream has mostly faded, and he grasps at snippets. The beach, he remembers the beach. 
Just start again.

Steve's Reaction
I wrote this really quickly in between prompts for @robin-buck1ey. This is Steve's reaction after the events of You Rule.
Not sure this even really counts as a prompt.
Steve was leaning back on his chair. A wide smirk on his face.
“Shall I erase the whiteboard?” He asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
“Why in the hell would you do that?” Robin responded quickly, fearing he had already done such an atrocious act.
“We had a deal.” But the smile had been wiped off his face, the first hints of doubt seeping into his voice.
“We did have a deal. I hope you are ready to close up for the next week. I can use the extra free time for my date.” Robin pulled out the receipt as if it was a trophy.
“Wait, what?” Steve jumped up from his chair, the piece of furniture colliding with the floor. “No, there is no way. Nancy came into the store. You’re lying.” He ripped the receipt out of Robin’s hand and turned to the phone attached to the wall. It was only meant to be used for shipment information and contacting their boss. But now Steve Harrington punched in the numbers on the back of the receipt.
“What are you doing, dingus?”
“Checking the number. You could be lying to me right now.”
It was then that Robin worried for the first time. Worried that Nancy had given her a wrong number just to get rid of her. It seemed just as plausible as Nancy Wheeler wanting to go on a date with her. Hell, it sounded much more plausible.
The phone started going over, a silence filling the break room. One second turning into two and then three and this was too much for Robin to take. She was going back to the front of the shop, she’d sling ice cream for retired old men and children with bad attitudes.
“Mrs. Wheeler?” Steve said into the receiver and Robin halted.
He stayed on the phone for a couple of minutes, pretending to check up on Mike after recently driving him home from another one of their movie escapades. And then he hung up.
“It’s really her number.” He looked at the numbers with a faraway expression. “I can’t believe this.”
“I can! You need to close up for the entire week while I go out with your ex-girlfriend.” She pulled the receipt back.
“Robin, you gotta teach me? I have been struggling for weeks here. For months. You flirt with one girl and you got yourself a date. You have to teach me, Robin.”
“Teach you?”
“Teach me how to flirt. Please, I’ll close up for a month. For the rest of the summer if you want me to.” He, honest to God, folded his hands together and fell to his knees.
“Okay, okay, dingus. But I want rides to and from work as long as we’re working together.”
“Deal.”

Steve's Pick
Billy/Steve | Teen | 1.5k
No Upside Down, First Kiss, Flirty Banter
Square: A2 - Love At First Sight for @billyhargrovebingo
Summary:
Steve heard the bell chime when a customer walked in so he looked up and who the fuck was the sex god who’d just walked into Family Video?
Steve was barely paying attention to whatever Henderson was saying anymore and only barely remembered to warn the kid with a distracted, “Sorry, customer, gotta go,” before he clumsily put the receiver down, his eyes still on the hot stranger. 
Read on Ao3
***
“So you’ll do it?”
Steve sighed, wishing his shift would end already so he could go home and crash, instead of listening to whatever issue Dustin had had with Mike fucking Wheeler. Again. He looked at the clock. Half an hour to go. Wednesday afternoon shifts usually dragged but this one had to be the worst one ever.
“Steve? Are you even listening to me?”
“Yeah, yeah, Dustin, fine, whatever.” He rolled his eyes, never happier that the shop was currently deserted. He guessed that everyone was at the movies, catching the new releases. Lucky them.
“Steeeeeeeve!”
Henderson’s whiny voice pulled him back into the present.
“Oh my god, what? I’m at work, you know that right?”
“I am aware. But I also know there is no one there. It’s Wednesday, Steve. So will you tell Mike you agree we should let Max in the Party?”
Steve heard the bell chime when a customer walked in so he looked up and who the fuck was the sex god who’d just walked into Family Video?
Steve was barely paying attention to whatever Henderson was saying anymore and only barely remembered to warn the kid with a distracted, “Sorry, customer, gotta go,” before he clumsily put the receiver down, his eyes still on the hot stranger. 
He looked like he was around Steve’s age and was wearing the familiar Hawkins Community Pool fire engine red shorts, matched with a black button down with weird flowers that vaguely looked like figs on it. But he’d only buttoned the bottom two buttons and Steve was absolutely failing in his effort to tear his eyes away from the guy’s golden chest.
Steve was so glad it was Robin’s day off and that Keith hadn’t bothered to come in today. He wouldn’t have been able to deal with either of their ridiculing remarks at the amount of unabashed staring he was doing right now.
The most perfect chest Steve had ever seen stopped on the other side of the counter and Steve lifted his eyes to take in the face of an angel. Blue eyes like the ocean he’d only seen on TV, a dusting of freckles over his nose, curls of the lightest brown, almost blond, and a mouth made for kissing. 
Fuck.
“Hey there,” the beautiful stranger said. Goddamn if his voice wasn’t just husky enough to make Steve’s dick stir in his pants from that one word.
“Hi, welcome to Family Video, I’m Steve. What can I do to you, um, I mean, for you?”
Steve felt his cheeks heat up and half expected to get punched for his slip up but the stranger laughed instead—the most enchanting laugh ever heard in Hawkins, Indiana, for sure. Then the man smiled and Steve worried he might just jizz in his pants from it.
“Well, hi, Steve. I’m Billy. I just moved here from California with my sister and her mom and I—”
“Oh god, why?” Steve couldn’t fathom swapping sunny California for Bumfuck, Indiana.
Billy laughed again and Steve fell in love. “Long story… could tell you over a beer sometime when you’re free.”
“I’m free every night,” Steve replied before he could stop the words from escaping his mouth.
Billy grinned and leaned forward on the counter, crossing his arms and making his biceps bulge a bit. Steve wanted to sink his teeth into them.
“Is that so, pretty boy?”
“Uh huh, it gets awful lonely too, just me in that big house, day after day, night after night. I mean, my parents didn’t even bother showing up when I graduated high school last year so yanno, who can say when they’ll come back and thank god they’re happy to keep paying the bills because there’s no way I could afford the bills…” Steve was aware he was word-vomiting but couldn't make himself stop as Billy looked at him with an increasingly amused smile. “And then I’d have to move and like, live under a bridge or something, because there’s no way I’d even be able to afford a tiny trailer at Forest Hills with what Keith pays here and oh my god, I need to shut up, I’m sorry.”
Steve stopped rambling and hid his face in his folded arms, banging his head onto the counter in the process. He’d for sure hear the bell now, as Billy ran away as fast as his feet could carry him… 
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
“Aw, babe, don’t say that, you’re not stupid,” Billy said, his fingers gently tangling into Steve’s hair. “Come on now.”
Steve froze. He’d said that out loud? Shit. And Billy was still there? 
Billy’s hands dropped from his hair as Steve slowly lifted his head to find Billy was now leaning halfway over the counter, his gorgeous face a few inches away. Steve watched, entranced, as Billy swiped his tongue over his bottom lip. He wanted to kiss that boy on the mouth if it was the last thing he did.
“Am I dreaming right now? Did I make you up with my mind? Is that why you’re so perfect?”
“Aw Stevie, I’m flattered but I’m far from perfect, just ask my sister.” “Okay, I will.” Steve paused. “Who’s your sister? What’s her name?\”
Billy grinned. “Max. Small, red head, bit of a bitch.”
“About fifteen, rides a skateboard?” Steve was pretty sure he knew who the girl was, a recent tentative addiction to the Party, much to Mike’s vocal dismay
“You do know her. I don’t know if I should be impressed or creeped out.”
Steve let out a self-deprecating laugh. “Billy, it’s a small town and I work at the only video store.”
“Duly noted. Anyway, Heather at the pool said you were the guy to talk to about where to go for a good time.”
“Heather Holloway? Oh boy. She was definitely pulling your leg.”
“Truly?”
“Yes. Billy, I’m sorry, I have no clue what the cool kids are up to these days.” 
Dammit, now Billy would leave and Steve would never know what it was like to bask in the attention of a god.
“That’s okay,” Billy said, his grin getting wider.
What?
“It is? But a second ago you said—”
“Steve?” Billy asked, moving slightly forward, narrowing the gap between them.
“Yes?”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Anything,” Steve replied, leaning towards Billy, mesmerised by how his blue eyes now looked nearly black. He smelled so good up close, Steve wanted to wrap himself around him and never let go.
“What time do you get off?”
“Depends.”
“On what?”
“On you.” Steve couldn’t believe he’d just said that but he wasn’t taking it back. What was that saying his dad kept throwing at him? Fortune favours the bold? Well, Steve was being bold as fuck right now, because he didn’t want the golden stranger—Billy— to leave. He’d seen the light and he wanted to follow Billy, wherever that led.
Billy chuckled. “Smooth.”
Steve shrugged. “They didn’t call me King Steve in high school for nothing.” “I heard they called you that for another reason,” Billy replied with a knowing smirk.
“Ah, that.” Steve felt his cheeks heat up. 
“Yes, that. Any truth in that rumour?” Billy asked, his face now a couple of inches away from Steve’s.
“Would you like to find out?” Steve’s eyes dropped to Billy’s mouth then back to his eyes. He grinned.
“Depends.”
“On what?”
“On you.”
Steve decided he didn’t want to wait any longer to find out what kissing Billy tasted like. He didn’t even look at the clock, Keith would just have to deal. Wednesday nights were dead anyway. “You know, I think my shift just ended.”
“Brilliant,” Billy whispered, his hands cupping Steve’s elbows now. “Isn’t it just?” Steve whispered back, leaning closer.
“Can I kiss you?” Billy asked, his mouth now so close that Steve could feel Billy’s breath on his lips.
“Yes.”
The word was barely out that Billy’s mouth was on his, his tongue eagerly licking into Steve’s mouth. They moved sideways to the end of the counter a foot away, still kissing, then the second they could, their hands were all over the other. Steve buried his fingers in Billy’s golden curls while Billy’s hands went lower, sliding down sides, before grabbing handfuls of his ass and pulling him closer.
Steve moaned out loud when he felt Billy’s dick pressing against his and he wished they were in his bedroom instead of his place of employment.
“Oh my god, Billy! Gross! I leave you alone for two seconds and you’re already sucking face with the first guy you find?”
Billy ended the kiss and moved his hands to Steve’s waist before turning to face his sister. The look on Max’s face went from grossed out to surprised.
“Steve?”
“Hi Max.” Steve waved at her, feeling rather embarrassed at having been caught like that.
“Shitbird, apologise to my boyfriend.”
“Your boyfr—” Max rolled her eyes and stomped her foot. “You’re unbelievable. I bet you didn’t even get the movie Mum wanted.”
