summary: in which two little girls unexpectedly come into yours and leah's life and decide to turn it all around with some mischief in the way (and maybe with a little help from kyra)

it was a nice sunny day out. mornings were a bit chilly but for london weather, it was surprisingly tolerable. you had come to work today, knowing you were gonna have some visits to do around the farm to some kids, as your surpervisor had given you a heads up the days before. your farm slash retreat slash sanctuary was situated in a calm area, far from the city noises and it was very big on raising awareness to people, often having visits from schools and groups of scouts, etc.

today you were having a nearby school visit. you and your co-workers were going to be separated into groups so you could show the kids all the animals and activities they could do.

luckily, when the group of 5-8 year olds came by, you were assigned with a small group that was relatively quiet but very interested in what you had to show them and very eager to answer some of your 'trivia' questions about the animals. two little girls, who were very obviously twins, clung a little bit more towards you throughout the visit and while one was more shy to ask you questions, the other one was enthusiastic about giving answers. 

by lunchtime, you and your co-workers gathered all of the kids in the canteen for a much needed break.

in the afternoon, you gathered your group on a table outside, so you could explain what the next part was. "okay, so who wants to feed our little goats?" you said, with a smile and enthusiasm for their obvious answers. "i want to feed tigers!" one of the twins, alba, exclaimed. you opened your mouth in fake shock and put your hands on your hips "did you see any tigers around here, miss alba?" she excitedly nodded. "well I'm sorry to burst your little bubble but we've got no tigers here. what you probably saw was 

oscar, our very grumpy orange cat." she pouted but quickly recovered her giddiness when you all walked towards the goats.

about half an hour later, the groups were dispersing a bit and some kids from your group ran to other kids to help them with other activities they were doing. you were trying not to laugh when you saw some of your colleagues trying to control some of the most energetic children when you felt a little tug on your shirt.

you looked down to see one of the twins, aurora, "y/n, is it true the arsenal team plays around here?" she asked quietly, with a shy smile on her face. you crouched down to her height and alba joined in on your little group. you were about to answer when alba quickly whispered "can we go see them??". you chuckled "let me check with my boss and your teachers, yeah? but you gotta keep it a secret from your friends, okay? or else everyone will want to go and right now, that's not possible." they both pretended to zip their mouths and nodded.

after you got the approval from their teachers and your supervisor to take them away for a little while, with a warning to not cause too much trouble, you signaled to the two girls to come after you. you walked out of the farm and they both stood on your sides holding your hands. it was about a 5 minute walk from your little farm to the arsenal training grounds, you knew the girls quite well as they were regular visitors and have done some charity work for the farm so visiting each others' work place to hang out in your free time wasn't uncommon.

"who are you guys excited to meet?" you smiled down at them. "all of them!" they both answered and you were a little surprised at aurora's raise of voice but happy she was feeling more comfortable around you. you had worked with many kids over the years but there were always ones that, for some reason, tugged at your soft heart and these two little girls had done it today. 

as you reached arsenal's training centre, you smiled and greeted the staff as you moved with the girls towards the field you knew the girls were at. 

the first person to caught your eye was obviously your big crush, leah williamson, who was sipping on some water as you approached her. "hey, williamson!" you kicked her butt with your foot since your hands were still holding the twins. that startled her and she turned around with a frown on her face, "hey!" she argued, but her frown quickly dissipated when she saw it was you and pushed you playfully. "asshole." "leah!" you quickly gestured to the girls with your head.

"oh, sh–, sorry!" she grimaced as the little girls looked at each other and giggled. you rolled your eyes at leah and introduced them, "leah, this is aurora," you raised the little blonde's hand on your left "and this is alba" who raised her spare hand immediately with a toothy grin. 

leah leaned down with a smile on her face "hi, i'm leah, nice to meet you" they both blushed, intimidated by being right in front of england's captain but their shyness quickly went away when leah asked if they wanted to meet everybody. they quickly nodded with excitement and the blonde led them to meet the rest of team.

you sat on the benches as you watched them all interact, the twins thrilled to meet some of their favourite players. you knew they were in good hands, so you shifted your gaze to leah, who had the biggest smile on her face as she got to play some football with the children.

"staring, are we?" you jumped a bit as kyra sat down next to you with a smirk on her face. you rolled your eyes "uhh, in case you haven't noticed, kyra cooney-cross, i'm keeping an eye out for those under my care." she rolled her eyes at you using her full name, it was a joke between you two when you wanted to annoy each other, but went back to teasing you "oh, i think your eyes are out for someone else y/f/n." "oh, and i think you're supposed to be training, not here biting my ass." she groaned and leaned on your shoulder, "but it's so much fun to annoy you" you smiled at your best friend and tugged on her hair bun. "go meet some people your age" you headed towards the twins and let out a little laugh as she pushed you. "i can't help annoying someone when they're so annoyingly in lo– ah!" you quickly elbowed her as you saw leah running over to you two.

"are you two fighting again?" leah raised her eyebrow with an amused smile on her face. "no, i'm doing you all a favour and putting her in her place." you said, shoving kyra as she stuck her tongue out at you. "i'm off to meet my fans, excuse you." kyra stands up and runs over to the small blondes playing with alessia and katie but not before winking at you behind leah's back.

"they are absolutely lovely." leah chuckled as she turns back to you. "right?? honestly, some of my favourite kids to come by the farm." "maybe it's because they kind of look like me." leah smirked and you couldn't help but scoff, "oh please, you wish you were that cute." she huffed and put her hands on your knees, leaning towards your face to bite the tip of your nose, a habit she learned from kyra in her many tactics to annoy you. you scrunched your nose and pretended to be annoyed by it, hiding how much you wanted leah to bite you basically everywhere and anywhere. in a way, you wish she knew how she made your heart almost combust with the amount of physical touch she was prone to giving you, maybe she would be kind enough to put you out of your misery. however, you couldn't help but crave these little moments, you would take anything leah would give you, even if it meant keeping your feelings to yourself and being content with being just friends.

that moment didn't last long as you both turned your heads behind leah's back when you heard a little scream and you saw kyra, alessia and katie on the ground checking up on aurora. you and leah quickly ran over to see what happened and saw aurora had scraped her knee. leah asked someone to get the first aid kit to disinfect the wound and turned back to aurora to rub her back and console her. "hey little one, how are you feeling?" you asked softly, but she was quick to put on a brave face and say she was fine. "you sure? we can call your parents to come get you if you want." you said, wanting to make sure the twin felt comfortable and safe. 

"we don't have parents." alba said nonchalantly while holding aurora's hand. that caught you and the girls around you off guard. "what do you mean, alba?" you frowned in confusion. "we live in a foster home!" the little girl exclaimed as alessia came over with the first aid kit and gave it to leah, who started to disinfect aurora's knee. "ohhh… in that case, i can call your carers if you want." "that's okay, it doesn't hurt that bad." aurora gave you a smile that only grew bigger when leah gave her a high five and praised how brave she was.

soon enough it was time to go back to the farm with the girls as the school was about to leave. the team said their goodbyes and the twins thanked them all, still mesmerized by getting to play with them for a bit. as you returned with them to the farm, they both hugged you and thanked you too for taking them to meet the team. you were a bit caught off guard but quickly melted and rubbed their little heads. you felt a weird pang in your heart as you watched them leave but just brushed it off as you being emotional and went on with the rest of your day.

quickly after that encounter though, the twins did not take much long to appear again at the farm. they became regular visitors and your bond grew stronger, often taking them to see arsenal and the team quickly became used to them as well. it was also not a surprise to anybody that when the girls were around, you and leah stepped up as the responsible figures for them, always making sure they were fine and always the ones they came to when they needed something. 

one afternoon, after work, you had taken the girls to the training centre and they were playing with kyra as you were talking to leah. "you know you shouldn't cut your hair right after you have a bad game, right?" you giggled as you flicked the strands of her new fringe. "hey! it is not because we had a bad game. i am a fashion trender. i make things a trend." she took off her head band to fluff her fringe with her hands and posed for you. 

"riiiight, i almost forgot you were 'the powerful, the brilliant, the leah williamson'" she was quick to give you a mocking smile, clearly displeased with the overused quote. "well yes, i am brilliant and powerful but you can't deny i have an amazing fashion sense!" "i don't think impulsively getting a haircut after a bad game falls into that category, though" you couldn't help but giggle at her frown. soon, she took matters into her own hands and grabbed your waist to start tickling you at your sides, something that made you squeal and try to get away from her, screaming for help. "stop screaming, you baby!" she stopped the tickling but pulled you in close to kiss the top of your head.

meanwhile, kyra, alba and aurora had stopped their game and were watching you and leah interact. "are they girlfriends?" aurora asked kyra. kyra looked down at them and shook her head "as much as it pains me to say, no, they aren't." alba quickly looked at aurora with a mischievous smile in her face.

"you're thinking what i'm thinking?"

"i'm thinking what you're thinking."

Sharks II

Meadema x Child!Reader

Summary: You get comfortable with Viv

You're used to having Viv in your house now. She's always there and she sleeps in bed with Mummy a lot and helps you through your morning routine every day.

She makes sure to hang out with you away from Mummy too, like that time that she took you to the big maze store that she called IKEA and you called stupid.

She bought you a new shark toy she called the Blåhaj shark but you corrected her to a Blue Shark.

You love having Viv around (though there's a name floating in your head for her that's definitely not Viv) but you're still happy to have your alone time with Mummy.

Viv's out with some of her friends so Mummy's propped you up on her lap and is reading you a story book.

"Mummy," You say," That's not English." You point at the words.

She smiles at you. "That's right," She says," That's Dutch."

"Dutch," You repeat," Like Viv."

"Like Viv. We're both going to be studying a bit of Dutch so Viv can feel more at home."

"Because she's from Dutch?"

"The Netherlands," Mummy corrects," And yes."

You think for a moment. The story book looks fun and has English and Dutch in it so you still understand it. "Okay," You say," We learn Dutch for Viv."

Mummy presses a kiss to your head as she turns the page and helps you sound out the words.

●～●～●～●～

Viv takes you to the aquarium on her next day off. Mummy would have come with too but she was busy with Auntie Leah and Auntie Katie so it's just you and Viv.

She got you dressed this morning - your favourite shark t-shirt and a pair of shorts before bundling you into her arms and heading to the train station.

"Cool," You say, making sure to keep a tight hold of Viv's hand because Mummy always says you have to hold an adult's hand when you're out.

There's a bit of the aquarium that's just clear glass on the floor looking into one of the tanks and you spend so much time standing on it that Viv gets a little worried that you think that's all there is.

"Come on, liefje," She says," Let's keep going. There's more to see."

You let her pull you along happily.

Ma-Viv shows you lots of different fishies and is more than happy to crouch next to you and read off the little placards by the tanks. She's pleasantly surprised when you ask her to translate it into Dutch.

"That's a Sand Tiger Shark," You say as you point up to the big tank," They like to hunt at night."

"That's very interesting, liefje," Ma-Viv says, pointing at another shark floating along the bottom," What about that one?"

You study it for a moment, head tilted to the side as you watch it. "Nurse shark! They have moustaches that are actually taste buds!"

Ma-Viv smiles at you, an affectionate hand running over your head. "Come on," She pulls you along to one of the walkways near the end.

You wander closer to one of those electronic screens that has buttons to choose your answers on it.

You can read your little story books at home (both in English and Dutch now) but this is a little too advanced to you so you tug on Mama's hand to get her attention.

"Read please," You tell her.

It's a little quiz on sharks with multiple choice answers that you happily press the buttons to choose.

You get all of them right (of course) and get especially excited when a goblin shark appears on the screen.

"Goblin shark!" You cry," Like my top, Mama! Like my top!"

You don't know why but Mama looks at you with wide eyes, mouth falling open. She looks a little tearful as she nods. "Yeah, liefje, it is like your top."

You look down happily at your t-shirt and then back at the screen.

Mama bought you this top the day after your trip to get your Blåhaj shark and for the first two days, you refused to take it off. Mummy hates it but you love it so you keep it in your room, under your pillow so she can't throw it away.

"Mama, come on," You say to her as she remains frozen in the same spot. You've finished the quiz and kind of want to move on - Mummy promised that Mama would buy you something at the gift shop.

She still looks slightly tearful and drops your hand.

You turn to look at her. "Mama?"

She picks you up, holding you closer as she rest her chin on the top of your head.

"Mama? Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, liefje. Why...Why don't we stop off at the touch tanks and then we'll get you your presents?"

You nod along, practically shaking with excitement as you reach into the tank to run your fingers gently over the back of an epaulette shark. Mummy always tells you to be gentle when stroking cats and dogs so you make sure to be extra gentle with the little shark.

"You touch," You tell Mama, who's still holding you tight.

"I'm fine, liefje," She says, refusing to relinquish her hold on you," This is for you."

"I'm going to study sharks when I'm older," You tell Mama earnestly as she walks you to the gift shop.

"You are? No football?"

You reach out to touch a shark mug. "Sharks are more fun than football," You tell her," Can this be my present?"

"Just this?"

"Mummy says that I can only get one thing."

Mama smiles at you. "We've just had a very special day, liefje. I think we get you more than one thing."

You beam, remembering the sentence that Mummy taught you last week. "Thank you, Mama! Ik houd van je (I love you)!"

She looks as shocked as she was earlier when you saw the goblin shark photo. "I love you too, liefje."

the secret life of jun | wen junhui

SYNOPSIS. in which jun gets set up on a blind date by his best friend. PAIRING. zoolinguist!wen junhui x gn!reader (ft. minghao, gyu the golden retriever, boo the duckling, and lil mentions of some members as their representative animals. not hybrids.) GENRE. fluff, humour, kinda strangers to lovers, magic-realism au WARNINGS. cursing, jun just being a very cute awkward shy boy :(, my first attempt at something remotely magic/fantasy WORD COUNT. 3k

notes: this is for the caratlibrary secret gift exchange event! and therefore, this gift is for @phenomenalgirl9 who also gifted a fic for me hehe. i hope you enjoy <3 this is also my first time writing something remotely fantasy/magic, so... feedback is welcome! ty to my lovely moots who read this over for me ^^

"Jun! Can you tell your dog to get the fuck off me?" Minghao attempts to shove away the ever-persistent golden retriever pawing and licking at his face, but Jun doesn't seem to hear, seemingly engrossed on something else entirely in the kitchen.

Minghao just groans annoyedly, and just as he's about to call out for his best friend's name again, a thought crosses his mind. A sort-of stupid one that he knows won't work, but he'll try it out anyway.

He brings a hand up, watching the dog follow it with curiosity, and he points to the ground while firmly saying, "Down."

Unfortunately, the dog only tilts his head inquisitively, as if dazed and confused by the action, before relentlessly pouncing on the boy again, and all he could do is surrender himself to the attack of excitement. Right, he thinks, these animals don't exactly understand him normally.

Jun finally emerges from the kitchen after what feels like an eternity, a black cat cuddled gently in his arms, lightly running his fingers through its fur carefully. When he picks his head up, he could only chuckle at the sight in front of him. Minghao only rolls his eyes, shooting a playful glare to his best friend who only seems amused.

"Your dog is a menace," Minghao declares, wiping away the slobber from his face.

"Come on! Gyu just likes you."

"I'm not sure I share the sentiment right now," Minghao replies almost coldly, perhaps even half-jokingly, attempting to regain his composure.

Jun just sighs and sends out a whistle from his lips to get the dog's attention. And with a subtle look from just his eyes, as if sending a silent signal, Gyu hops off the couch and trots over to Jun, letting out a few barks in response.

"He says he doesn't like your attitude today," Jun translates, setting the cat in his hands down on the floor. "but he's forgiven you."

"Gee, thanks," Minghao scoffs and crosses his arms together, still trying to maintain a façade of irritation, though it's quite easy to see right through it.

He watches for some time as Jun crouches down to the dog's level, the two of them communicating in a way he knows he can never understand, but is grown to be amazed by every time. It isn't a secret that he knows that his own best friend can communicate with animals, as strange as that might sound (because... it's true), but it's a fact he's fully accepted.

Jun probably has more animal friends than human friends at this point. He's made friends with the birds at the park, the stray cats that roam the streets, a deer that comes to visit occasionally behind his place, an otter that frequents at a nearby pond, hell even one of the tigers at the zoo𑁋the list goes on.

And not to exactly complain, but he also really wants Jun to find a fucking partner.

Not that it's a bad thing Jun isn't seeing anyone, and it totally isn't the entire reason why Minghao is here right now. He has tried to set Jun up on dates, but the older boy almost always manages to find some excuse or simply doesn't show up, claiming he got caught up in a conversation with a stray cat or a butterfly on the way. Or the date ends up in disaster with a chase down the street of the neighbourhood raccoons stealing food.

But then again, that's Jun for you𑁋unpredictable.

"One more date."

Jun raises his head, and the moment he sees that particular smirk to Minghao's face, he groans.

"No."

"Oh, come on, just one more," Minghao insists. "I promise you'll like them. They're an animal lover."

"Just because they're an animal lover doesn't mean𑁋"

"You're either going to be drinking 'till you're absolutely couch-ridden on new year's because you're single and lonely again, or you could be celebrating with someone special. Your call, dude."

Jun finds his face flushing out of embarrassment, scratching absentmindedly behind Gyu's ears as Minghao's words wash over him. Then his features soften, and he lets out a sigh.

"Fine," he relents. "One more."

Shit, he's screwed. The minute Minghao told him the date would be happening in the middle of the park where he often chatted with the local squirrels and ducks, Jun knew this already wouldn't end well.

He also had quite the love-hate relationship with blind dates𑁋or dates in general, to be honest𑁋and the thought of meeting a stranger made his palms sweat even with the cold threatening through his thick coat (he's convinced that Minghao is pulling anyone out of his ass at this point).

The park is covered with a light blanket of snow, the trees standing tall and glowing with strings of fairy lights against the grey winter sky. Jun shivers in place and adjusts the scarf around his neck, partially from the cold and partially from the impending awkwardness he anticipates.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry for being late! The traffic was awful coming here and I got a bit lost..."

The voice is frantic and panicky to Jun's ears akin to his equally panicking heart, who turns around to a figure rushing up to him, covered in layers and letting out misty breaths that appear in the air.

"It's okay," Jun says, voice coming out a bit awkward. He offers a reassuring smile. "I'm, uh... Jun, by the way."

"Y/N," You say, relieved as you finally catch your breath and look up at him with a cute grin. "I'm so sorry for being late. I hope you weren't waiting for too long."

"Oh, not at all. I... just got here as well." It's a bit of a white lie𑁋he was beginning to worry you ditched him, honestly. Jun feels his hands fidget in his pockets nervously, yet he sees the ease that washes over your features at his words, and he relaxes slightly. There's something about the way you carry yourself and the slight blush on your cheeks from the cold that eases some of his tension.

And maybe, just maybe, his heart stutters a little at your smile, like a startled butterfly in his chest. Did the lights at the park grow brighter?

"Would you like to, uh, maybe grab some hot chocolate?" Jun suggests, gesturing towards the small, lit up kiosk nestled in the corner of the park that seemed quite busy with customers. "It can help... warm you up."

Your eyes light up to his words, grinning. "That sounds perfect, actually."

As you both walk towards the kiosk, the air seems to crackle with a nervous energy Jun hadn't expected. Despite the awkwardness gnawing at him, he can't deny the strange sense of hope fluttering in his stomach, somewhat like a small bird unsure of its flight. He's not the best at dates and probably never will be, but for some reason, feeling this sort of apprehension is unlike anything else he's felt. It's not uncomfortable per se, but more... exciting?

The two of you stand in the back of the line, shoulder-to-shoulder, hands tucked deep in your pockets and sharing silences punctuated by the occasional nervous giggle when your eyes meet. The line at the kiosk is surprisingly long, a mix of bundled-up families with laughing children and young couples warming their hands around steaming plastic cups.

When your shoulder brushes against his, Jun freezes for a moment, feeling a warmth spreading through him that has nothing to do with the hot chocolate. He steals a glance at you, finding your gaze already on him, and there's a shy smile that you both share before you look away first.

Then Jun notices it𑁋you're shivering.

It's almost imperceptible at first, a slight tremor running through your shoulders as you shift your weight from foot to foot. He hesitates for a moment, then a nervous breath leaves him. Fuck it.

Without a word, he unravels the wooly scarf from around his neck and drapes it over you, fingers lingering for just a moment longer than necessary as he adjusts it comfortably. You blink up at Jun with wide eyes.

"Sorry I, uh... noticed you were cold," he mumbles, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

You glance at him, surprise evident in your eyes, and then you chuckle. "Are you sure? I don't want you to freeze."

"I'll be alright," Jun just assures calmly, though the chill creeping up his neck is a bit hard to hide now.

The line moves forward, and soon you're ordering hot chocolate for the both of you. Jun pays for both, insisting with a small nod when you attempt to pull out your wallet.

As Jun and you clutch the steaming cups, the warmth radiating through the thin plastic felt almost comforting. The park bustles around you, but with each sip, the outside world seems to fade away, leaving only the diffident hum of conversation and the fluttering hope that dances between you.

"So, uh, what kind of animals do you like?" Jun asks, trying to break the ice as you both trail down an empty path close to the icy pond nearby. He's not exactly smooth with conversation, but he figures asking about your supposed love for animals is a safe bet. "I've been told you like them."

Your eyes light up as you take a swift, long sip of the hot chocolate, the warmth quickly spreading through you.

"Oh, all kinds!" You answer eagerly. "I volunteer at an animal shelter not that far from here and take care of the injured ones. I have a lot of pets at home too𑁋a hamster, a dog, a few cats, a rabbit... How about you?"

You spoke so quickly that Jun could barely register it all, but he can't help but grin at your enthusiasm. It’s almost infectious.

"Wow, I have, uh... a dog and a cat at home... Gyu and Woozi are their names," Jun replies slowly, almost unsurely.

"That's really cute!" You tell him, catching the way the corners of his lips crinkle up just slightly and how he has to angle his face down just to hide it. "My hamster's name is Hoshi! My dog is Minnie, my rabbit is Hannie, and my cats are Wonu, Nonie..."

Listening to you list your pets' names and some of the ones you've taken care of at the shelter makes Jun feel just a tiny bit lighter with each step he takes with you, and also from the way your eyes sparkle with every word you spoke. He finds himself letting out giggles at your stories of Hoshi's escape attempts and Min's stubborn streak, and for the first time in a long time, he feels truly comfortable, truly seen in a way that didn't feel fake.

Yet it doesn't take long for that feeling to falter just slightly. He doesn't know what Minghao exactly told you about him, or if anything at all𑁋how does he explain to you that he can quite literally talk to animals?

He knew that spilling the beans could go one of two ways: either you'd think he was crazy, or you'd be amazed (and maybe even a little scared). He's never exactly revealed it to any person he goes on a date with because, in the end, after a handful of mishap encounters with animals that don't mean to ruin the date, they end up leaving anyway.

Should he tell you? The words dance on his tongue, ready to tumble out, but that unwanted fear of rejection holds him back once again.

But before he can say anything, a squeaky quack pierces through the air, snapping Jun out of his thoughts. He looks down to see a small duckling waddling towards them, its tiny yellow head bobbing with each step. It stops in front of you, tilting its head inquisitively as it looks you up and down curiously, before heading to Jun's feet and quacking loudly.

It's Boo, one of the park's young resident chatterboxes who loves nothing more than socialising and the occasional spread of gossip. Jun had befriended Boo a while back, often sharing stories and snacks by the pond. But what was Boo doing here, and why does he look so worried? Jun could almost hear a frantic heartbeat echoing through the duckling's chest.

Boo lets out a series of rapid quacks. Jun strains to decipher the splurge of words, picking up snippets about stolen food and a local raccoon, and... how one of his siblings is stuck somewhere.

"Oh my gosh, you're so cute!" You exclaim, kneeling down upon noticing the young duck in front of Jun and extending a tentative hand. "What are you doing out here, little one? You're going to freeze."

Jun could only listen as the distraught duck spills its frustration on you. Yet you didn't understand anything, only continuing to coo about how cute the duckling is, and Jun watches as Boo looks up at him with pleading eyes, urging him to do something. He knew he had to act, but he glances at you, still kneeling with outstretched hand at Boo, and his mind races.

Should he explain his... ability to you and risk making you uncomfortable? Or maybe try to handle it on his own, somehow decipher Boo's instructions and lead you on a cryptic animal rescue mission that might look completely bizarre, delusional, and psychotic?

"Do you think it's lost?" You ask worriedly, glancing back up at Jun. And when his gaze catches yours, warm and hopeful in the glow of the fairy lights surrounding you, a surge of determination pulses through him.

Jun only quietly chuckles at Boo's attempts to tell you his name, his tiny feathered body vibrating with slight annoyance, but your gentle cooing and outstretched hand seem to soothe him a little. The sight stirs something deep within him, a warmth that spreads beyond the simple comfort of the hot chocolate from earlier.

"He's not lost," Jun says, his gaze meeting yours. "He's... a friend. And he's telling us a story. Oh, and his name is Boo, by the way."

Your brow furrows in confusion, a tiny crease appearing between your eyes. “You… understand ducks?”

Jun offers a hesitant smile, a knot of anxiety twisting in his stomach. There's no going back now.

“It’s a bit more than that,” he admits sheepishly, watching your expression shift from curious to intrigued. “I can, um, like... sort of talk to animals, I guess. Or they sort of talk to me, basically, yeah..."

The silence that follows is deafening. Jun braces himself for a wave of disbelief, rejection, maybe even a startled shriek. But instead, your eyes widen with awe, a growing smile forms on your lips, and Jun can't quite bring himself to tear his gaze away from you. He'd taken a leap of faith, and you, instead of running for the hills, were looking at him with... wonder?

"Wow, that's..." You breathe, voice hushed with wonder. "I-I mean I always knew that... sort of existed? Like, in research papers and ancient history, but meeting someone who can actually do it is just..."

Jun blinks, a bit taken aback by your reaction.

"You're not... freaked out or anything?" he asks cautiously. "Like... you actually believe me?"

"Jun." You turn to him, shifting so that your knees are slightly touching in the snow. "Minghao told me like... a lot of things, or tried to at least. I mean, at first I found it ridiculous, then I realised that this is Xu Minghao telling me this, and if he's vouching for you, it must be true. And, well... I really wanted to get to know you too."

Oh. "Oh," Jun mutters, cheeks flushing and face burning. Minghao, of course. He should have known his best friend with a 'credible' reputation wouldn't simply set him up on a blind date without throwing him under the bus a little bit. "I mean, it-it's nothing too fascinating. No mind-reading or telepathy exactly, just… understanding their gestures and stuff. It's kind of like learning a new language, you know?"

"Well, can you tell me what Boo is saying then?" You quirk up expectantly, and Jun swears he cannot handle more than five seconds of you peering at him without melting completely. His heart does a little double flip in his chest, landing somewhere around his ankles.

Jun chuckles, a warm sound that feels right at home amidst the snowy air. Then he takes a deep breath, steadying himself under your gaze, before turning his attention back to the little duck at his feet.

"Alright, alright," he teases, ruffling Boo's feathers playfully. "Don't get jealous, little guy. Spill it."

Boo then goes on an insistent frenzy of quacks, and you could only watch in awe as Jun listens carefully, nodding and humming in response. There's a certain magic in the air that you can sense, as if you've stepped right into a fairytale of some sorts. The small duckling then looks up at you with begging eyes, as if seeking your help as well. Jun shoots you a quick glance, and you can see the uncertainty in his eyes.

"He's pretty worked up," he admits, clearing his throat. "He's telling me about a raccoon that stole his flock's food, and... um, one of his siblings is stuck in a log somewhere. I have some food with me, but he wants to find his sibling first. He knows the way."

"Then let's do it," You say, rising to your feet and dusting off the snow on your pants.

Jun hesitates again, staring at you in slight disbelief𑁋you want to come with him? He glances at Boo, who lets out a frustrated quack, urging him to make a decision. Then he looks back at you, your kind eyes holding his own, and suddenly the choice becomes clear.

"Do you trust me?" Jun asks softly, his heart pounding in his chest.

You hold his gaze for a moment, a thoughtful look on your face. Then a smile blooms across your lips, one that reaches your eyes and seems to chase away the worry.

"I trust you," You answer, stretching an open hand towards him.

Jun feels a warmth spread through him, and he grabs your hand in his. Relief and something else courses through him, like excitement and perhaps a bit of fear. You were in, and that was all that mattered.

Boo lets out a triumphant quack, and with him waddling excitedly at your feet, you follow Jun deeper into the park, the fairy lights casting long shadows against the snow-covered ground. It's a strange sight𑁋you walking on one side of Jun and a duckling trotting on the other𑁋but with every step, whatever awkwardness that was lingering seems to melt away.

And maybe, just maybe, something else was blossoming too.

Alrighty, you’ve all been asking for it and here it is. I hope this timeline of what’s basically the first two seasons, makes following the comic easier. Which speaking of—obviously there will be spoilers for the future of the comic, so if you want to continue on reading that with blinders I would just ignore this completely or you could only read up to the prologue end where what’s been released catches up. And obviously the “filler episodes” might not make it into the comic—I’ll probably just get by on those being simple one shots or something, but I wanted to include all my thoughts.

This is really mostly for the ppl who want all that lore now. Or the ones who don’t want to go through a thousand pages of unorganized text posts 😜

Big Freaking Timeline for Empyrean Weeping Separated AU

Pre-Prologue

Many Generations ago…

The Leader of the Foot Clan [name lost to time] made a deal with an oni for power and was sealed inside his own armor. He turned his clan to the ways of murdering innocents and pillaging villages to spread their control. He quickly gained the name the Shredder. Hamato Karai, daughter to the Shredder, created her own clan to fight them. After many years of the two clans warring, Karai was able to banish the oni, killing her father. The power behind the armor was destroyed, leaving it as basically nothing more than ornamentation for each new leader of the Foot to inherit.

Karai sealed the demon in the twilight realm, but was killed by the demon’s final blow.

Many years later….

Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki are born into the still warring clans. Hamato Sho, grandfather to Yoshi, struck down Saki’s parents in revenge for them killing his daughter, Atsuko. He then took their infant son Saki and raised him alongside Yoshi, telling the two they were brothers, hoping that one day this would lead to a path of uniting the two clans.

Yoshi and Saki grew up together, trained in the art of ninjutsu, but Yoshi left to become an actor. Saki found out the truth of his parentage, and he embraced the Foot clan’s bloody path. He swore revenge on Yoshi and the entire Hamato clan.

Yoshi meets Big Mama on the set of Crouching Shrimp Hidden Tiger Prawn and the two date for a few years but break up.

Yoshi ran into his old childhood friend Tang Shen and the two began a romance, got married, and had a baby girl—they named her Karai after Yoshi’s great ancestor.

Big Mama kidnapped Yoshi from his wife and daughter, and kept him trapped in the Battle Nexus as her champion. Saki, not realizing Yoshi was gone, attacked Teng Shen, but found Karai in the fire and took her.

For five years (I know the creators said ten but idk that’s just way too long imo) Yoshi fought in Big Mama’s Nexus, until taken by Draxum.

Yoshi broke out during Draxum’s experiment and grabbed the four turtles he saw. As he’s escaping he dropped the soft-shell, but thanks to the fire and debris, was blocked from doubling back to rescue it, forced to leave it behind.

Draxum was left with a destroyed lab and only two of his five test subjects; Three—the male soft shell turtle, and Five—the female box shell turtle. Five was much too weak to live on her own, so Draxum was forced to keep her in a coma, confined to a healing vat. He worked on rebuilding his destroyed lab, and raised Three with the intention of training him to be a great warrior in the fight to save the yokai. As Three grew, Draxum was already impressed by the intelligence he saw from Three, but was not too pleased with the lack of interest Three showed for combat training. Still Draxum would work with what he had, and if nothing else, having access to Three’s blood meant at least he wasn’t starting from scratch. The boy was smart, and helpful in the lab. For eight years Draxum trained Three and helped nurture his mind. Draxum even found a way to get wider access to Empyrean, and was really able to continue his work, but the effects of working with the Empyrean….

Prologue beginning

Under the Cut

Five years after Splinter saved the turtles he could (Raph:7, Leo:6, Mikey:5). He brings them topside, having no choice but to do a food run with them all—unfortunately the Foot finds them, and Leo and Mikey get captured.

On the way, Leo is able to injure the nin holding him and Mikey enough that he drops Mikey. Leo ordered Mikey to run, while he struggled to keep the Foot Soldier from recapturing him.

Mikey left Leo behind and ran to hide in the alleyway behind Big Mama’s hotel, where he’s later found and taken in by the spider yokai, who finds Michael adorable and interesting enough to hold her attention for now.

Leo is taken before the Shredder, and Saki decides to raise Leo instead of killing him. He trained Leo to be Karai’s(10) bodyguard and demanded Kitsune use her mystic spells to bend Leo’s memories and mind so he became the perfect soldier.

One Year After Separation

Raph(8) meet April(9) and the two became best friends. Splinter begins training them both in ninjutsu so they can protect themselves from any surprise Foot Clan attacks.

Two Years After Separation

Three(8) developed an idea for a drill that Draxum took and employed to begin a secret way of mining empyrean without drawing the attention of the Hidden City Police. As the years passed, his experiments on Three became more and more depraved. The stress and torture caused a lot of strain on Three’s mind.

Three continued his work on Five’s body, convinced he can create something that will allow her to live outside her tank.

Overseas Saki ran the Japanese branch of the Foot, and ordered the destruction of a hidden yokai village. Usagi Miyamoto(9) is taken hostage and begins lessons with Leo(8) and Karai(12).

Four Years Post Separation

Saki returned (with his odd gaggle of child soldiers) to lead the US branch of the Foot Clan.

Five Years Post Separation—(ONE YEAR BEFORE SEASON ONE)

Usagi(14) finally escaped the Foot Clan

Big Mama grew bored of raising Michael(12) and threw him into her Battle Nexus. (First Actual page of the comic)

Big Mama and Draxum cut a secret deal, once he learned she has his Fourth subject. He offered Five to Big Mama as a go-between on the grounds that she will report Four’s status in the Nexus back to Draxum, but in the interim Big Mama may use her however she desires.

Three(13) began making shock collars for Big Mama with the demand that they will never be used on his brother, and that he got to see the weekly footage of Four’s Nexus fights.

Draxum met with the Foot clan and began providing Saki with empyrean in exchange for weapons. He saw Two(13) there, under the Shredder’s command. Draxum brings Three with him from then on, to gauge just how deep Two’s loyalty to the Foot Clan ran.

In that year of dealing with Saki, Three talked excessively to Leo any chance he got in the maybe four or five times they met, but was not provided with much of a response.

Usagi, with nowhere else to go, signed up for a few fights in Big Mama’s Nexus. He meets Mikey. Out of all the jerk contenders, the two actually like each other well enough. They’re as friendly as two people that may someday fight to the death would be.

After frequently running into each other, April(15) and Raph(14) got Casey(15) to give up her role as a Foot recruit and join their side. She gets the idea to become a double agent, and is now always sneaking out to meet them and be, in her own words, “a badass vigilant”.

After a few months fighting in the Nexus Usagi left and spent a few weeks on the streets before sneaking into Run of the Mill Pizza and getting caught by Hueso. The skeleton offered a safe place for Usagi to stay.

One night while patrolling, just the two of them, April(16) and Raph(15) see Mayhem get taken and April chased after just before the portal closed. Raph went to Splinter for help and the two headed off to the Hidden City. Before they can make it to Draxum’s lab, they spot Mikey(13), fighting in the Nexus, on one of the massive view screens.

After recovering April who’s basically saved herself and Mayhem without Draxum being any the wiser. Raph and Splinter brought her back home and then quickly returned to the HC and requested an audience with Big Mama.

Splinter dropped to his knees and begged to make a deal. He would fight Big Mama’s current champion if he could have his son back. Raph cut in that he would be the one to fight, and Big Mama accepted.

Raph fought a host of contenders before Big Mama revealed that he would face off against Mikey, who didn’t seem to recognize his big brother or father. Raph managed to grab Mikey in a bear-hold and got him to listen long enough for Mikey to remember the night they were separated. He and Raph and Splinter cried and hugged and Mikey confronted Big Mama to announce that he would be leaving with his family and that he would not fight for her any more.

Big Mama remained stoic and cold, taking the news rather well, until alone in her office. In a fit of rage she screamed and even threw a few glasses at the wall before she called for Five, who she had named Venus(13).

Big Mama gave Venus the footage for the previous week of Mikey’s fights. Along with the news that it would be the end of her and Three’s deal since Mikey was now gone.

Venus returned to Draxum’s lab and ran immediately into Three(14). Three, upset by the news that he would not be getting the most recent footage Big Mama had, and that their deal was ending, became upset and his yelling drew the attention of Draxum.

Draxum locked him up for a week before he allowed Venus to release her brother. Finally Venus sat Three down and began to tell him that Mikey is now with One and Lou Jitsu.

Quick Cut—Shredder has noticed that Kitsune’s magic on Leo’s(14) mind seems weaker, and demands more exposure to the empyrean. With a demon under his control, and Karai as the perfect successor, the Foot Clan will be unstoppable, and he will finally have the ultimate revenge on Hamato Yoshi.

Mikey returns to the lair with Raph and Splinter where he meets April. He’s shy, but content. Later, when in bed Mikey’s thoughts do wander to worries that his family may one day grow bored of him, just like Big Mama did. Mikey falls into an uneasy sleep.

SEASON ONE

Leo day after day as Second in Command of the Foot Clan finds his mind harder to focus lately. Something about the two turtles he keeps running into on missions plus the odd, manic one that always accompanies Draxum during his deals with Master Shredder. They seem to scratch an itch in Leo’s brain that just won’t go away.

Leo runs into Raph and Mikey and April long enough for them to finally try to talk, but . But Tigerclaw interrupts and takes Leo away when he refuses to fight his brothers.

Later when Leo is kneeling before Saki, Leo finds his Master isn’t pleased that he failed to kill their enemies when he had the perfect opportunity. Saki punishes Leo far more severely than he has in years. Casey, who knows Leo is in danger, fetches Usagi from his job at Run of the Mill, and Mikey meets them in the alley with the idea to go to Big Mama for the fastest route to Saki’s private compound and save Leo just in time.

Leo spends the next few months recovering and reluctantly staying in the lair, smart enough to know that returning to his Master would be a death sentence. Eventually his memories that were tampered with start to slowly return and he feels deeply the need to protect Mikey. Unfortunately his hatred for Splinter doesn’t seem to be dissipating and he spends a lot of time butting heads with Raph. He sees April’s skill and is impressed. He ignores Casey and refuses to see her as anything but a traitor.

Eventually his family grows comfortable enough to let him have more freedom, and Leo begins to join them on patrol.

While out one night, Leo cuts down a whole squad of Foot ninja when Mikey gets badly hurt. Raph is pretty shaken up and Splinter bans Leo from patrolling with the team, until he can learn to use less lethal methods.

One day, Splinter brings Leo into the dojo and shows his son the old shrine that was made for him and Mikey.

Splinter then shows Leo the weapons hung next to the shrine.

(Excerpt from notes app lol)

Splinter looked at the wall as he spoke. “Raphael and Michelangelo have already chosen their own. I always planned to gift these to you boys. Seeing how effortlessly you used to copy me when I practiced myself. I’d be honored for you to carry a piece of the Hamato clan with you.”

Leo mirrored Splinter’s gaze and stared straight ahead, not knowing how to feel about that bit of information. Regardless he found it easy to keep his tone detached.

“Shredder had me master a number of weapons. But I’ve always been best with my katana.”

Splinter chuckles with a fondly, sad smile. “Hm, yes. You were always most eager to swing around anything you could when you boys played. And would pretend to stab Raphael in the gut whenever he offered to play the role of the big scary dragon.”

Stoicism was now perhaps a bit harder. Still Leo would not allow himself to show any weakness over something so trivial as a tale he didn’t even remember.

“It would be foolish to trust your enemy with such a deadly weapon.”

Finally Splinter took his eyes off the wall and faced Leo. The terrapin refused to return the courtesy, but Splinter wasn’t deterred by the cold shoulder.

“You are not an enemy. You are my son.” Leo was slightly shocked at how easily Splinter claimed him. The rat spoke as surely as if he was simply reading facts from one of those dusty old scrolls he had tried to get Leo to read. A (poor) early attempt to reintroduce Leo to the great and honorable Hamato Clan. Perhaps his father had hoped it would be one possible way to cut through all the lies that Saki had spent years filling his son’s head with. Leo had not gotten very far into the literature before tossing it aside in frustration.

The rat continued on, still not once wavering. “The katana has always been a weapon of honor. I trust you to use them well, in the service of protecting this city and your brothers.”

Leo grew pensive—it was like viewing a weapon he’s cast his eyes on a million times in a new light. It had been a few years since Leo had heard something rather similar.

Only one other person in Leo’s entire life had spoken to him of honor in regards to the blade.

The slider tried not to think of the boy he hadn’t even seen in years. Now that he’s not so far under Saki spell, Leo could recognize the lump of coal that sat heavy in his stomach as guilt. Just the small reminder of the rabbit set it immediately ablaze.

Leo’s not sure why only now the idea of honor moved something in him, but since first waking up in the lair, and the months he’s spent with his actual, true family. The slider had found his thoughts more open to wandering and engaging with ideas that he would’ve never entertained while under Master Shredder.

Splinter continued quickly, seeing some kind of headway in the more and more open look that grew on Leo’s face. “These have been in our family for generations. And even though you boys were apart, It seems fate of some kind has paired you to each of these.”

He paused just a moment to chuckle sadly as if a stray thought suddenly occurred, “I do wonder, with you choosing the Katana. That just leaves the Bō. I’m curious how your brother Donatello would have wielded it. A simple weapon but in the right hands it can be most versatile.”

“Donatello?” Leo searched the bits of stray memories that had returned to him these last few months, but in none of them, he recalled seeing a third brother. Splinter’s words had him beyond confused, and a little worried that he had even more lost memories to regain.

Splinter looked embarrassed over the clear confusion his rambling had caused to suddenly shatter the previous air.

“Ah….yes. Forgive me. I did not wish to overwhelm you when you first arrived, but I suppose now you are ready to hear about how you were created. How Draxum—“

“Draxum?!”

Season One Midpoint

Draxum decides to finally hold another meeting with Shredder after a few months. Three now finds out that Two has ran away after failing in a mission. When he returns to his lab, Three activates the tracker he secretly placed on Two and is beyond shocked to see him in the company of One and Four.

Three suffers a serious break when he sees them with April, and thinks he’s been replaced by a human. As the final straw shatters his control, Three attacks them all in an attempt to get answers and find out why they all seemed so happy together while he was left alone. After an intense fight, Raph manages to grab Three and Leo knocks him out, so they can take him back to the lair.

Donnie spends the next few months getting used to living with his family.

Raph and Leo continue to get into frequent arguments. Leo’s anger only seems to be getting worse. Mikey tries to keep the peace and does his best to keep the lair running smoothly. Leo takes his anger out on Mikey and immediately feels bad.

Tide Pod bros themed episode. Leo apologizes to Mikey for yelling at him. They bond while doing something silly.

Donnie starts constructing his lab and finally seems like he’s developing a stronger relationship with Leo. The two come up with the whole ‘twin’ idea and agree to share a birthday.

Mikey and Raph have a fun bonding episode (Maybe either Meat Sweats or Stockboy)

Venus runs into the family while out on a mission for Big Mama. Donnie tries to talk with her but she remains silent and shows no mercy in attacking him. Later Donnie explains who she is to the fam and the brothers promise him they’ll find a way to bring her home.

April, Raph, Donnie run into the Purple Dragons while incognito at a tech store that Donnie really wanted to go to. Donnie is beyond impressed by them, but Raph is wary. April warns the boys the Purple Dragons are trouble. But Donnie doesn’t listen, and fights with April then to spite her, asks to join their group. They let him in after he shows off his tech and eventually Donnie discovers that April was right. She helps Donnie take back his tech that was stolen, but the Dragons get away. Donnie apologizes for the way he’s treated April since joining the family and the two gain a better understanding.

Leo and Raph argue one night and it’s so bad that Leo takes off. While out he gets recaptured by the Foot and Saki holds him for weeks at his secret compound. Leo sees visions of his long dead ancestor Karai who tries to help him through the constant torture, but thanks to Saki merging Kitsune’s magic with the empyrean, Leo’s mind is falling further than ever under the Shredder’s control.

Season One Finale

When the family finds Leo, he is trapped in a new type of mystic armor and doesn’t even seem to recognize them, viciously attacking them. He takes out everyone but Raph, and when he goes after his oldest brother, he almost manages to take him out as well, but Karai comes to Raph in a vision and helps walk Raph through the ancient ritual she created to banish the empyrean from Leo’s mind. Now free the two then take on Shredder, before grabbing their family and retreating. Family also learns about Karai being Splinter’s daughter.

Season Two

Twins’ Birthday episode for season premiere! Home once again, Leo finds he’s much calmer, only growing angry for shorter and less frequent bouts. And now that the family knows what’s causing it, they can work on controlling it. Donatello informs Leo that he and Draxum were the ones responsible for providing the Shredder with the empyrean, but Leo doesn’t care and tells Donnie not to worry about it. They enjoy their first real birthday with the whole family.

Another run in with Venus while Donnie is out with Mikey. This time Donnie tries his best to explain that he never wanted to leave her behind, and wants her to come back to the lair with him. Venus looks unsure, but refuses and retreats. Mikey&Venus twin reveal.

Leo and Raph gain a new understanding and grow closer. They settle into co-leading the team.

Leo, April, and Donnie have a fun episode together. Raph and Casey vigilante B plot. Splinter and Mikey want to watch their shows but the Wi-Fi is not working, with Donnie gone, they accidentally destroy the lair attempting to fix it.

April and Casey try again for a second date that once again keeps getting interrupted by goofy stuff. This time by the boys.

Rat Flu episode

The gang run into a salamander mutant named Mona and have to stop her from stealing a big jewel from a museum. Raph is pretty smitten when she manages to surprise him by taking him down easily and escaping.

Purple Dragons episode (plot tbd) but something akin to the Fourfold Trap from tmnt!2012

Donnie manages to convince the family to try and repeat the very same ritual Raph did on Leo, on Draxum. They reluctantly agree, as long as Donnie goes through it as well. He agrees and they come up with a plan to capture Draxum.

Season Two Midpoint

Venus agrees to join them temporarily, and helps them take down Draxum long enough to get him back to the lair. In the middle of the ritual, Mikey’s mystic powers activate and somehow manage to link Donnie and Draxum’s minds, pulling the boys in and letting them see all the horrible things Three went through. They run into the darker hallucination versions of themselves that Donnie always sees and have to make a run for it when they’re attacked. Then they meet an adorable, little Three who guides them deeper into the mental link where they finally see Draxum, who looks worse for wear and cries upon seeing the small, child version of Three.

The ritual works and Draxum is purged of most of the empyrean, when the boys are pulled out however, they realize it didn’t work on Donnie for some reason. Donnie doesn’t seem bothered and is just excited about what the ritual working on Draxum means, but Draxum is too ashamed to face anyone and makes a run for it while the boys are distracted.

The boys and April have a fun day enjoying the snow, but get into it when they can’t agree on whether Lou Jitsu or Jupiter Jim is better. Raph and Mikey are on team Lou and Leo and April on team JJ, Donnie who can’t decide, keeps switching back and forth.

The gang spends a day in the Hidden City and ends it by attending a show where the lead singer is a shockingly loud, spunky female turtle. The boys are confused to see another mutant turtle, but Donnie promises Draxum only had files on the Five of them, and is convinced she must be a yokai. The band gets attacked by some of Big Mama’s goons and the gang rush in to help. After everything is settled the female turtle introduces herself to the gang as Jennika and vows to repay the boys for saving her.

Karai episode (plot tbd)

Leo, Raph and Splinter all have trouble accepting the new Draxum so Mikey as Dr Feelings has the bright idea to spend a fun day touring New York. April comes up with a scavenger hunt but it quickly goes off the rails thanks to Big Mama (not exactly Battle Nexus: New York, more like a mix between the Hidden City episodes and then the start of the BN:NY ep)

(Now closer to the actual BN:NY ep) The whole family gets taken prisoner by Big Mama, who reveals her grand plan to have Raph and Mikey battle it out to see who will be her new champion. They win by outsmarting her and the last shot is her looking very disheveled and angry. As a last resort she calls a contact from deep in the underbelly of the Hidden City. A man covered with bandages, who looks practically like a corpse, emerges from the shadows and asks how he can help.

Leo asks Usagi to join him on a vision quest and the two leave for Japan via portal, where Usagi knows of a place that is said to provide those worthy with great inner peace. Usagi-centered episode. We get to see his village which Leo and Usagi are shocked to find out has been rebuilt in the years he’s been gone.

Season Two Finale

Donnie’s side effects from the empyrean are growing worse and he begins to research in secret the origins of the mystic substance. In his desperation for answers Donnie ignores an alert for a 317-39.4 that comes up right as he’s made a huge discovery. Not wanting to stop just as he���s found something big Donnie takes off without telling his brothers. His findings bring him to the Crying Titan where he discovers the source of the empyrean, the skeleton, inside. But before he can attempt to investigate further he’s stopped by the appearance of a young boy calling himself Casey Jones Junior, and his hooded companion. The companion warns Donnie that unless he wants to lose an eye, he shouldn’t get any closer to the creature. Donnie is skeptical, but heeds the warning, especially when the boy tells him they’ve come back from the future to help and uses a special code Donnie developed during a late night bout of insomnia driven boredom.

Donnie takes the new strangers back to the lair where Raph and Mikey are both upset over Donnie’s disappearance. Raph says they could’ve used his help fighting Warren Stone and Hypno, who managed to make off with robbing some old artifact. Donnie admits to ignoring that alert in favor of his research and Raph grows even more upset.

The hoodie figure declares to the boy that they’ve arrived too late and the two future strangers tell the family that they’ve come to stop the Kraang and that they need to call Leo back home. They will need everyone if they’re going to stop the end of the world.

A Fair Sight

Summary: Arthur Morgan aims to put his skills to good use.

Pairing: Arthur Morgan x GN!Reader

Word count: 1k

Tags: One shot. AU Modern setting. Fluff, fluff and more fluff.

A/N: I wrote this in September and I never posted it! I just found it!

✿✿✿✿

You can tell that this isn't Arthur Morgan's first rodeo. When it comes to doing some shooting, the man is a born prodigy. He might just be the best damn sharpshooter in the county, hell, even the whole state.

He oozes confidence in his every move as he expertly sets the riffle against his rough shoulder, preparing his aim. He's proud enough to show his conviction in the skill but not cocky enough to flaunt it.

The night's summer soft breeze dances with his hair, but it's not strong enough to rattle him. He's utterly devoted to fulfilling your request, getting ready to put his talent to good use for once.

When he's ready, all his ducks in a row, he slowly exhales and the shots come faster than you can blink.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

A slight pause.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

He gives a light chuckle as he lowers the rifle. The scene before him can only be described as a massacre.

There are no survivors. All the yellow mechanical ducks at the shooting gallery are down. A victory tune plays over the speakers and some yellow and red lights flash to its beat. A sign up front lights up: "WINNER".

He turns around to give you a smirk and you go in for a short kiss on the lips. "That's my hero!"

He eagerly kisses you back in thanks for your praise. Shooting isn't the only thing he's good at.

"So, which one do you want?" You both look at the selection of prizes the gallery has displayed all around, most of them plushies. Tigers, bears, puppies, dolls. A very strange-looking giraffe. Some attempted bunnies. A horse painted as a zebra.

"That one!" You point to the big brown teddy bear sitting on the highest shelf to the left.

"Ok, gimme that one then." Arthur gestures to the bored teenage attendant who hands it over to him. "Here you go, darlin'."

When you grab it you're surprised by how big it is, needing both arms to hold it steady, much like you need with Arthur.

"You know bears are attracted to honey?"

"Is that so?"

"Must be why he likes you." Arthur's corniness always makes you smile.

"He kinda looks like you."

"Oh, you think he's ugly? Want me to get ya another one?"

You never care for his self-deprecating humor. "Oh, don't be silly!" You hug the bear tightly. "I love him! Thank you!"

"Anything for you, sweetheart."

He starts to lean in for another kiss and you get ready to receive it. But you're interrupted by the glimpse of something moving below you.

A little girl is now tugging at Arthur's sleeve. "Hey, mister. You think you can get me one too?"

He instinctively crouches down to match her height. "Sure I can. What's your name?"

"Emily." She sways in her pink dress and smiles broadly with anticipation.

"That's a pretty name! Ok, Emily. Let me see what I can do." You audibly denote your delight as he meets your eyes. "I'll be right back."

Back at the front of the gallery, he pays the attendant for another round and assumes the shooting position again. It's over before it's even begun. The ducks are down and the lights twinkle again. "WINNER". You and Emily give a big cheer at the outcome.

Arthur gestures to the attendant for another brown teddy bear, a smaller one that Emily can carry. He kneels again and hands it to her with a beaming smile. "Here you go, Emily."

"Thank you so much! I love him!" She surprises Arthur with a sweet hug, which he gladly accepts. Her little arms barely reach around Arthur's shoulders. She breaks it up to make another request. "Can I get a kiss too?"

You immediately see his cheeks turn a rosy color before he looks up at you. "Oh, I don't know, Emily. I gotta ask my friend here first."

"Don't be ridiculous!" you snicker.

Arthur plants a gentle kiss on Emily's cheek, which makes her laugh wholeheartedly. She lets out a "Thanks, mister!" before she runs off to show her mother her new teddy bear.

"That was adorable!"

Arthur rises from his knees to meet your gaze. "Kinda interrupted us kissing. But I'll let it slide."

"Well, I won't!" You grab both of Arthur's shoulders with your hands and squish the teddy bear between you as you reach for his lips. You linger on the kiss for a moment before the large size of the plushy forces you apart and you have to hold it again.

"You should've picked the zebra," he complains.

"I don't pick them ugly," you retort.

"Neither do I."

He leans in for another kiss before he's interrupted once again.

"Hey, you think you can help me out here?"

His patience has run out. "You're outta your damn mind, Marston!"

You watch as John stands a few feet from you, the rifle of the shooting gallery in his hands. You see he only shot a few of the ducks, not enough to win a prize.

Arthur suddenly grabs your hand and leads you away from the gallery, but you look back in time to see Abigail raise her arms in disappointment. "Is there anything you can do right?"

John inspects the rifle closely. "Arthur must have broken this thing!"

It's not long before you leave the fair with the sweetest bear wrapped around your arm. And a plushy teddy bear to boot.

✿✿✿✿

A/N: I'm not sure if mechanical ducks are still a thing. Sorry if they aren't!

Bride of Discord Chapter 10:

The Mirror

The cracks of dawn nipped at discord's eyes and shine through his feathers. They illuminated as a translucent tigers eye. Each plume shivered ever so delicately, quivering in waves as the skin underneath rippled. Down his nerves breathed a prickly radiation. Across the badlands of his own floating plumage the ripples bore onto the small yellow Pegasus. Floating like a lotus on water her feathers and coat trembled airy and wisped off the morning dew.

The expansive inhale she let out was her only signal of incoming consciousness, and discord retracted his paw from around her shoulders.

As she awoke, the creature in front of her clouded her vision like a warm blanket. supposedly asleep. She saw that his body had curled around her. Of course, now she was awake and hungry. Satisfyingly yet, she was not cold.

Of course waking the draconequus would be considered rude. Besides, his body was soft wrapped jaggedly around her own. she had no other choice but to make herself comfortable. Doing this, she heard a low chuckle. She turned to the draconequus, who opened his eyes suddenly.

"Good morning!"

She let out a shriek and jumped out of his hold. He only laughed harder. She chuckled as well!

"Did you sleep well, my dear?"

Fluttershy relaxed and replied, "Yeah! I expected to be cold, but it never came."

"No nightmares?"

"No…actually, I haven't slept that well in a good while. Maybe a year."

"Splendid!"

A plate of muffins appeared before them. As she took one, she thought of her pegasus friend, Derpy.

"I was thinking," Discord said while chewing, "maybe we could do something together, like ice skating."

Fluttershy choked on her muffin. "Ice skating?"

"Sure. It's fun! Or would you prefer something else?"

"N-no…ice skating would be…nice. It's just that I have to feed the animals…"

"All taken care of."

"What's the hurry?"

"I always get bored in the mornings! I don't need to stretch because I move all the time! And I need movement."

He's always so eager to do so much. If he wanted to do it so bad he could do it himself... But it's always nicer with friends!

A while of eating and digestion passed before they decided to walk to their own local pond, courtesy of the Everfree Forest. Only, the dark and harsh landscape seemed so much earthier, no more castle.

She strapped on nearly pastel skates, with the guards still on. They were clay and spring sage, her favorite combination of colors.

"I wanna show you something! Take the gaurds off!

As he began twirling on the frozen pond, Fluttershy looked down at it unsurely. She took a step onto the ice and tried to balance herself, but fell over after putting all four hooves down.

"now promise not to hit me, while I promise that what I'm doing is safe."

"Help?" she squeaked.

Seeing her plight, Discord glided over to her. He gently lifted her back onto her hooves. She hung her head.

"Oh don't worry, you'll have time to get the hang of it!" She seemed lifted as she smiled at him. His chest skittered. Quickly, something!

He chucked the skate in the air, swinging rapidly and standing just for a moment before swish! as the blade plummeted near his head. It cut through the atmosphere before stopping haphazardly just above his head.

Fluttershy stay crouched and stunned. Her jaw hung stiff as her eyes seemed to shrink. She slid frozen across the ice. Stutteringly.

"Magic! Can't hurt us."

"you ASS!"

His ears perked up as she howled in nervous laughter. He hovered in a snake-like position. He cackled! "You scared the bajeebus outta me!"

He held her up as they slid across the ice, every slight imperfection cut clean by the blade, fluid and light. It was like flying; however, more stable here than in flight. "I'll probably have to teach you forever! You're no Tonya Yearling."

Well, you're no Bridle Boitano!"

He grabbed her by the front hooves as they spun gently, them rapidly as they stared into each other.

Discord tenderly took her front hooves, and then moved behind her.

"Okay, so basically what you're doing is walking on ice. Take a step forward and…"

"That you don't know how to skate? Don't be silly! That means I have the honor of teaching you! Oh, that is," he bowed dramatically, "if you would give me that honor."

"Maybe I should show you first." He skated in front of her. "Try it like this." He glided on one foot and said rhythmically, "One, two, three," and then switched to the other foot, "one, two, three… See? Now you try."

Fluttershy tried to step forward again, only to lose her balance again. Discord caught her immediately.

Fluttershy gulped and followed his instructions, counting aloud, "One, two, three…one, two, three…"

"That's it!" Discord exclaimed. "Keep going!"

With every glide, Fluttershy became more confident. Her terror returned, however, as she drew near the edge of the pond.

"Discord!" she cried, returning to all fours. "How do I stop?!"

"Oh dear," Discord muttered. "Point your toes inward!"

"What are toes??!" The edge was fast approaching. "At least tell me how to turn!"

"Simply turn your hooves!"

She tried to do this, but the blades got tangled in her tail. Discord slapped himself in the forehead.

"PIZZA!! PIZZA!!"

Fluttershy shut her eyes and prepared for impact. Instead, she felt herself being lifted into the air. She opened her eyes to see that Discord was holding her above his head.

"You know what?" he said with a smirk. "I like it better when we do it together."

He set her down again, this time, keeping his hands on her shoulders.

"Now, to speed up, you keep your legs parallel to each other. To slow down, you point your front hooves slightly inward. Think of it like…French fries and pizza! French fries to go faster, pizza to slow down!"

They skated together for a long time. Discord showed her a few tricks, but she only attempted those she did with him. At one point, she tried to spin, only to fall backward. Discord summoned up a snow bank for her to collapse into. Thanks to this, she landed softly. The draconequus laughed and fell next to her.

Discord began to play... disco music? Fluttershy opened the eyes she never knew closed. They now wore matching earthy green bodysuits, complete with ascots, bell bottoms, chunky jewelry, and mirror tassels. His neckline plunged to the bottom of his sternum, while hers did the same with her halter top. Disco music played from a rather large boom box.

"You're brilliant, my dear!" he exclaimed, ruffling her hair. "A little rough around the edges, but brilliant, nonetheless!"

They danced swinging, tossing her as she seemed to instinctively know the moves. Overhead, toss, swing dancing! Two different eras!

He held her above his head as they twirled and spun. He stared at her crooked smile as she squealed and snorted, and he smiled warm. Even blocking the sun, she seemed brighter than it. There was nothing more that they'd like to do than stay on the ice with each other, dancing. Let's keep dancing.

The next few moons went along smoothly. Now that Fluttershy was no longer afraid of Discord, the two could spend time more easily. He would still give her time alone with her animals, though sometimes he couldn't help but watch how gentle she was with them. He also kept his routine of asking his question each night. Do you love me? He asked. Each night for 6 nights were the same.

"Do you love me?"

"I'm afraid I don't."

Her mind would also wander to the friends she had left behind. She could barely look in her closet, for the clothes reminded her of Rarity. She could hardly read a book, for it reminded her of Twilight. The sight of an apple or rainbow would bring her to tears, and anything involving parties caused her grief.

Discord took notice of this, as her smile wavered every time she thought of her friends. Any Material gift would not help, and he allowed her space to simply feel her pain. This was something he knew too well. But the sobbing coming from her door was not.

"Fluttershy?"

The crying ceased, and in a cracked voice, she called, "Come in."

He peered inside to see Fluttershy on her bed, her back to him. He could hear a few sniffs coming from her.

"Is everything alright, my friend?" he inquired, making a cautious step forward. "You weren't at breakfast."

"I…I'm fine," she choked, rubbing her eyes. "I just…wasn't hungry."

As he came round the bed, Fluttershy tried to hide her tear streaked face, but he had already seen it.

"You've been crying," he stated.

Why was she still crying? He thought things had been going well between them. He had brought her animals, treated her respectfully, and yet she was still unhappy. It was paining him. She could never marry him in this state, it'd take forever for the plan to be set in motion!

"No," Fluttershy denied. "I…I'm fine, really."

He placed his hands on her shoulders and spun her around to face him. "Don't you lie to me! I can always tell! Nobody gonna put one over on ole' discord! "

"Sorry." She turned away from him as he sat beside her. "Come now, my dear. Tell me what's wrong."

Still looking down, she slowly rotated her head in his direction. "You…you won't get mad?"

He tilted her head up with his eagle claw and used his paw to brush her mane out of her face. "I promise. Just tell me what's troubling you, my dear, so I may know how to make you happy again."

She stared into his eyes, seeing them filled with concern and kindness, a look she would never have expected from the Lord of Chaos. It was as if he truly cared for her and wanted to comfort her. He could not do that without knowing the truth.

"I miss my friends!" she blurted.

Oh dearie.

"Not as is I'm unhappy with you, but..." She looked away, afraid of how he would react, but she had to say it. "You said you would do anything to make me happy."

"I did," Discord muttered guiltily.

"Then let me see my friends. Please? Just for a moment?"

She looked up at him with pleading eyes, filling up with another set of tears. He could not bear to see her so miserable, perhaps because the plan was at stake. His mighty miles of chaos could be gone in an instant. Moreover, how could she possibly see her friends? If he were to send her back for any reason even for a moment, the deal was broken, and nothing beyond that could possibly work.

Yet he could not disappoint her either. If only there was a way to grant her wish without the risk of losing her. Then it struck him.

"Very well, my dear. With this claw, I shall lift your sorrows."

A glimmer of hope appeared on her face. "You mean you'll let me see my friends?"

He cringed. "Well…sort of."

Discord snapped his fingers and a mirror materialized in his hand. "This is a magic mirror. Tell it what you want to see, and it will show it to you.

Fluttershy frowned as he placed the mirror in her hooves. "Oh, I…I thought…"

"This way, you can see your friends whenever you like without breaking the deal! Besides, you can't see anything you wouldn't want to."

"Oh, okay. I'd like to see my friends please."

She waited, but there was nothing in the mirror but her own reflection.

"You'll have to be more specific," Discord explained.

"Oh, um…show me Applejack?

The image blurred and soon her cowgirl friend was before her, preparing a pie in her kitchen. It lifted her spirits to see her.

"Thank you," she said softly.

He watched her face expectantly. Come on, my dear, give a smile! The one he got was hesitant and unsure, but it was a smile nonetheless. At least she had stopped crying.

"You're very welcome," he chimed. "Now, you up for breakfast?"

"I'm fine, thank you. I had lots of fruit pies."

"Then I'll leave you to your business then. Will you come to lunch later?"

"Yes, thank you."

He grinned, taking one last look at her before shutting the door. Fluttershy repositioned herself on the bed and leaned back against her pillow as she watched the scene in the mirror. Applejack was slicing apples for her pie. Spike was standing there beside her.

"You sure you don't want me to help?" he asked.

Applejack cringed. "That's mighty nice of ya, Spike, but last time you helped me bake a pie…"

"Come on, it wasn't that bad! Rarity liked it…

Her heart fluttered at the mention of the mare.

"Yeah… Speakin' of which, shouldn't ya be helpin' her with somethin'? Not that I don't appreciate ya bein' here, but…ya know, since you and Rarity…"

Her face was becoming all pinched at the mention of Spike's crush on Rarity.

"Oh, right," the dragon mumbled, crossing his arms as he slumped to the floor. "About that…rainbow dash..."

She paused her slicing and looked up, straight ahead instead of at spike. Her face flushed. Did she not like the thought of her being with rarity?

"what about her?"

"Well, she's been being really lovey-dovey with rarity." Spike said with disappointment.

"Yeah, I do say we all some is some rarity time!" If she didn't want rainbow with Rarity she'd have to discuss it with them and she hates sit-down convos. But she felt it was something more.

"I think she's dating Rarity."

...

Nothing. She thought of rainbow nuzzling rarity and her stomach flip flopped, she wanted to cuddle them too. She wasn't jealous...

"Really? Whaddya know about datin'?" She looked down at the dragon. "Does her being there bother you, Spike?" She asked soft as cotton.

"Rarity's been spending a lot more time with her, They had three dances at the Gala last week! And Rarity…talks about her a lot…but she talks about you too!"

"Ya think they might be courtin'?"

"No, I think they might be dating."

"Gee, I'm sorry to hear that, Spike."

Dashie being so sweet, only to her and Rarity, being similarly competitive and rambunctious, complex and racing about whatever she's interested in that month... Applejack's heart was racing. Man, she needed to spend more time with her friend huh? She hoped she wasn't mad a rainbow for whatever reason.

"Some things just ain't meant to be. I'm sorry you had to learn that way boyo, but you're too young for her."

"Easy for you to say," the dragon murmured. "You don't know what it's like to care for someone who doesn't return your feelings!"

"You'd be surprised," Applejack mumbled.

"I asked around and somepony said something about 'leading me on.' Is that what she did? I don't think I know what it means..."

"goodness no spike! She loves you as a friend, or baby-figure! she didn't lead you on because she wouldn't do that! She was nice to you because she loves you as a friend!"

"You think so?"

"I know Rarity. She may not show it sometimes, but she is sensitive on how others feel. She didn't wanna reject you because she knew it'd make you sad. She thought you'd get over her."

When she was done preparing the pie, she put it in the oven. "Hey, if ya wanna get your mind off Rarity, how 'bout ya come with me to Canterlot tomorrow when I take these pies to the orphans?"

Spike perked up. "Really?"

"There are gonna be a lot of pies. I'll need a few extra hooves, err, claws."

"I think it's great that you're always helping those orphans."

Applejack blushed. "Well, since I'm an orphan myself, I feel it's my duty. Those colts and fillies don't have ponies like Granny Smith to take care of 'em. Until they do, we gotta make 'em happy."

"like how Twilight is my mama!" His face is deeper purple. He's so happy to have said this for the first time!

Fluttershy now understood what Applejack was going through and was happy for her, yet a little sad for Spike.

"Hey Applejack, do you think…Fluttershy's okay?"

The pegasus' smile vanished.

"I…I think so," Applejack said weakly. "Zecora said she'll be okay, and…she can take care of herself…"

"You think he's married her by now?"

"I…I don't know…"

Fluttershy figured she should see what was going on between Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

"Show me Rarity, please," she said to the mirror.

The scene shifted to the café in Ponyville. The couple she had requested for was sitting at a table, looking at the menus.

"What do you think darling? Seafood or lamb?"

The blue mare glanced around. "Cafes here are so much cozier than on cloudsdale! You can have stuff that doesn't fall through clouds built here!

The mare breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm so glad you think so."

The waiter approached the table. "Have you made your selection?" Rainbow faltered.

"hope you like seafood doll, cuz I haven't had it in years!"

"Oh, excellent choice! Our shipment is fresh as daisies!"

"In that case, two orders!"

Fluttershy could tell if they were courting, but they both seemed to be enjoying themselves. Rarity looked on in abject love as rainbow tore up some free bread sticks.

"I'm gonna pack some up and send it to flutters. Just the veggies and noodles though."

Rarity's and Fluttershy's faces carried equal expressions at that moment.

"How very brave of her. I miss her every day."

"Ditto... Hey doll-face, I sent her some glitter ink so if she messages we'll know it's her."

They kissed just a peck. Rarity held the other's face in her hoof.

Fluttershy could listen no longer and decided to check on twilight, but not before listening to one last thing.

"I think I wanna kiss Applejack."

"me too! We have so much in common!"

The mirror shifted to the library, where twilight say outside coddled in large coats. Right, it was wintertime! And twilight is northern, so she knew how to handle it!

Twilight Sparkle created matching bookmarks for all her friends. Her Yakistani teapot nestled in the snow near her cup, filled to the brim with chai. Fluttershy could practically smell the spices through the mirror. She watched twilight play in the snow and roll around in it. Her eyes caught the bookmark with her name on it, decorated with pictures of marigolds, forget-me-nots, bleeding hearts, and lily of the valleys.

Fluttershy was about to tear up again and asked to see Pinkie Pie. She was at Sugar Cube Corner, throwing a party. Apparently, it was Derpy's birthday. Fluttershy smiled to know that Pinkie was in her usual spirits. But as the energetic pony served the cake, tears suddenly filled her eyes.

"What's the matter?" Derpy asked.

Pinkie stared at the butter cream frosting. It took a second for Fluttershy to realize that it was the same color as her coat.

"I…I miss Fluttershy!" she wailed before the waterfall erupted.

"Oh, Fluttershy," she said, sighing heavily. "Things haven't been the same without you. I can't help but blame myself. I hope…I hope that…whatever you're going through…you're okay. I miss you."

I miss you too...

Discord lay sprawled upon his bed as it hung on the ceiling. In his own mirror, he had been watching Fluttershy watch her friends, but had muted it so not to invade her privacy too much. As she started weeping again, he pounded his fist on the bed.

"Come on!" he exclaimed.

He had tried so hard to make her happy, only to have her sad again. He did not understand it at all.

His reflection then appeared in the mirror, laughing at Fluttershy's image.

She then set the mirror face down and buried her face in her pillow.

"How wonderful!" it chimed. "And here I thought you had gone soft, but you still manage to bring misery to ponies!"

"Shut up!" Discord yelled, throwing a pillow at the mirror.

The reflection dodged it and Fluttershy's image rippled as the pillow made contact.

"Don't tell me you're sympathizing with this pony! Can't you see she's nothing but a whiny crybaby?"

The mirage ducked as another pillow was tossed.

"How dare you insult the mare I intend to make my queen?!" Discord hollered.

His reflection laughed. "That wimpy pegasus, your queen?!"

The draconequus flew over and glared at his mirror image directly in the eye. "You call her that one more time and it's the junkyard for you! Understand?!"

"Ha! You think getting rid of this mirror will make me go away? I'm not the damned mirror, I'm the reflection!"

Discord punched his paw in the mirror, letting out a furious cry. His ears rang as the world around him muffled. He then saw his reflection, distorted from the cracked glass. It was true. He was the Lord of Chaos. How could he think he could make some pony happy, when it was in his nature to cause suffering?

He shielded his eyes from the horrifying image and sank to the floor. His chest pounded and his vision remained spotty. He did not hear the door open, or the dainty clomping of hooves. It was the light touch on his head that broke him out of his trance.

"Discord?"

He looked up suddenly and saw the lovely pegasus standing before him. He quickly faked a smile.

"Oh, hello there, Fluttershy! What can I do for you, my dear?"

She raised an eyebrow. "I think the question is what can I do for you?"

He turned away. "Don't be silly, my dear. Your happiness is much more important than mine."

She walked up to him and put a hoof to his paw. He glanced down at it, as a knot formed in his stomach. She knew something was wrong, but did not question it, for she had already guessed.

"I know why you wanted a bride," she stated.

He bit his lip. "Um…I was bored?"

"You're lonely."

Discord scoffed. "What?! Don't be ridiculous! I'm the Master of Chaos!" He glanced at her nervously. "Why would I be lonely?"

"A thousand years, and you've never had one friend. Any pony would be lonely under those circumstances."

He looked away sadly. "I'm not a pony."

"That shouldn't matter. All creatures have feelings."

"Don't waste your pity on me. I'm not one of your fuzzy critters."

He met her eyes, and his heart tumbled inside his chest. He wondered if it was that Stare of hers, but no, this was something more powerful and probably unintentional. It was a look no one had given him before: a look of sympathy

He sighed. He could not lie anymore.

"I will admit it is nice to have some pony to talk to. And…" He cupped her face in his claw. "I'm glad it was you who came."

She gave him a warm smile. "I'm kind of glad too."

"Although," he turned away, stroking his beard, "I think I would have preferred Pinkie Pie."

Fluttershy was shocked. "W-what?"

"Well, she does like my chocolate rain."

"YOU'RE JOKING!"

"Got ya, didn't I?" he laughed, ruffling her hair. "I'm kidding! You should have seen the look on your face! You were so jealous!"

"I…I was not jealous," she stammered.

"Oh really? What if I told you I was exchanging you for another mare?"

"Well, don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable!

He feigned indignation.

"That was ruder than I expected. I was joking."

He picked her up like a cat. "Don't worry, my dear. You're the only pony for me."

Fluttershy was struck dumb as he suddenly pulled her into a hug. She did not mind the gesture, though it surprised her. It was that last sentence that had caused her speechlessness. He had said it so cheerfully, yet not in a joking manner. And the way he was holding her now, so tight and yet so gentle, as if he neither wanted to crush her nor let her go, as if she were something precious. As he did this, she could not help but feel…safe, as if he would not let anything bad happen to her.

Discord seemed to think nothing odd of the action, though he was hesitant in pulling away. Fluttershy could have sworn he had a dreamy look in his eyes as he stared at her.

"Well, I'm hungry!" he said suddenly. "Why don't we have lunch outsiiiide!" He sung. "Ooh, did you hear me hit that high note?"

"sounded like it hit you right back!"

His eyes glinted with excitement as he set her down. "Wonderful! I'll be waiting outside! Don't be too long, my dear!"

As he teleported out of the room, Fluttershy stood there, trying to process what had just happened. Her heart was racing at a speed that would challenge Rainbow Dash, something she did not think possible. Her face was so hot, she was sure it had turned red. And it was all because of how Discord had held her.

"Oh dearie."

Klaroline fanfic update: One More Rose

I've just posted the final chapter of my Klaroline story, One More Rose! Please read and review here.

Here's an excerpt:

“You’re here,” he breathed as though needing to convince himself she wasn’t a mirage. Confused, he asked, “How did you know where to find me?”

            She snorted, crossing her arms in front of her. “Seriously? Tina Fell practically shouted it in the Piggly Wiggly produce isle that ‘Sexy McAccent’ had checked in and she called dibs on ‘dimples diving’,” she explained with a slight shudder.

            Letting out a small chuckle, he replied, “She did seem rather eager to give me a tour of the town and mentioned the falls were especially pretty at night.” With a wry smile, he added, “I told her it seemed doubtful you’d see much of anything at night.”

            It was petty, but she couldn’t help but feel a little smug. Tina was from one of the town’s founding families and was used to getting her way. She was still pissed that Tina was able to pass off her mandatory community service as charity work on her Miss Mystic Falls application back in high school.

            Misreading her pleased grin, Klaus asked, “Jealous, sweetheart?”

            “Of all the —,” Caroline irritably began, pausing at his teasing smirk. Conceited bastard. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught movement and realized several people were gawking at them in the distance. The camera phones would be out any second now. She lifted her chin stubbornly, pointedly not looking in their direction again. Nosy jackasses.

            As he loaded his suitcase into the darkly tinted car she’d parked next to, his tone turned self-deprecating as he revealed, “I know I certainly was after reading the latest on the gossip sites — they’re calling the fight between Kol and Matt on your friend’s doorstep ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Drag-In’.” 

            “Yeah, the blurry video Bonnie and Enzo’s sketchy neighbors sold really shows that Matt’s hair plugs aren’t very sturdy — or maybe Kol just has quite a grip?”

#guaranteed all 17000ish yeerks in that pool were taught to hate and dominate and they could have been different if they'd been raised better

My Top Posts in 2022:

Had a dream where they tried again with the Animorphs TV show, and they made the following changes:

1.) Tobias is just never on screen in bird morph unless it's stock footage. When everyone is in the barn or outside talking, they just look up off screen/into the rafters/ into the conciently placed tree while the Tobias voiceover plays. The bits where Tobias attacks people from above are done with a muppet and fishing wire.

2.) Ax is actually a tiny puppet touched up with CGI and greenscreened in. Same goes for all the other Andalites.

3.) Rachel isn't tall. She's actually only a little taller than Cassie and Marco. She still complains about being too tall for Gymnastics to Melissa, who is an inch taller than her.

4.) Rather than age the characters up to fit the darker themes of the series, they cast a bunch of 14 year olds and then reduced the stakes and focus more on the kids hanging out. They just randomly run into Visser Three at the arcade and the amusement park and at school a lot.

5.) They have a real tiger, and try to find as many excuses to show it off as they can. When they can't figure out a reason for Jake to be in tiger morph, they come up with other ways to shoehorn it in, like the zoo thought it was okay to take a tiger to the mall for people to pet it.

6.) They finally have more than one Hork-Bajir costume to use, but they only have one Taxxon, which is played by two guys crouched under a long worm costume like a Chinese New Year parade dragon.

I think that's all I can remember.

If you acquired every animal you have ever touched on purpose in your entire life, what would be the coolest thing you could morph into?

Mine would probably be a nurse shark or a boa constrictor. The snake was from when a reptile specialist brought it to my middle school and let us pet it. The shark would be from a Pet The Shark exhibit at an aquarium.

Not gonna lie though, my favorite one (not the coolest, but definitely the most sentimental value) would be the tiny stingray I was friends with when I was 6.

Idea: The Animorphs get sent back in time because Ax was fiddling with the radio in Cassie’s barn and accidentally caused a Sario Rip. The Animorphs encounter their past selves. The past Animorphs are convinced the future Animorphs are actually Evil Animorphs (tm) from an alternate dimension. Except Cassie, who has a Timey Wimey sense, and Ax, who simply asks the other Ax <What happened this time?>

I can't tell if I shared this here, but...

[SCENE: Somewhere. JAKE and TOBIAS are waiting for the other ANIMORPHS to arrive.]

Tobias, seeing an approaching osprey: <You've got incoming. It's an idiot.>

Cassie, playfully: <Thanks Tobias. I love you too.>

Tobias: <Oh shit! Sorry! I thought you were Marco.>

Marco, flying in from another direction in his osprey morph: <This is why I keep telling her she needs to get her own bird morph! Merchandising is never going to go for it if we share morphs.>

Tobias: <And there's the idiot.>

My #1 post of 2022

Imagine going to a supermarket and finding a Taxxon with a shopping basket hanging off one arm and the Taxxon is weighing five different cantelopes with its other arms.

That is the world I want to live in.

🌟 give us some Meredith facts!

10 Facts about my Character(s) accepting!

1.) Despite acting like this super serious badass, Meredith is scared of a lot of things. People, heights, spiders, deep water, fire just to name a few. She tends to respond to fear by getting aggressive, or outright freezing.

2.) Socially speaking, she gets overwhelmed fast. And tries to escape as fast as she can.

3.) Speaking of anxiety, fear, and social exhaustion; Meredith tends to deal with these things by shoving her head in her work, like an ostrich does sand.

4.) Meredith does not swear. Not a single swear beyond the occasional damn. She knows it often makes her sound childish, especially when trying to be threatening, but... shes kind of a big baby about it.

5.) Speaking of being a big baby... Self care! If you told her to go take a day off, she would whine or just ignore you. Girl has not taken a day off in years, and it shows.

6.) Going back to tropes, she's very much a crouching tiger, hidden badass that is doomed by the narrative. Her own faults, as listen in the previous one of these, will be her horrible, horrible downfall.

7.) Not everything is bad, however. Despite being a lying hypocrite, Meredith is loyal. Earning her trust is hard, but once you have, she will not back down from any challenge. You have a friend that will march through hell itself while barefoot to help you.

8.) But, she more often shows she cares by making something nice for you. Knitted socks, a carved wooden paperweight, or even a box of sweets from the farm. She's obsessed with her work, but when she has time...she does like to make things.

9.) Despite being an idiot, Meredith is pretty clever. She learned how to use a spinning wheel, and has created a contraption to help her get heavy objects to the top loft in her barn with one arm. When she puts her mind to something, she can get very creative.

10.) She's not a wordsmith, even when she's trying her best to say the right thing. But, Meredith is comfortable with her weaknesses, and will often act, rather than speak. Sometimes all you need is to give someone some good cider, and a warm bit of bread.

"Now that's something we say 'good riddance' to."

Yeonghon's having a particularly fine day.

Or a particularly awful one, there's no telling which one it is if they behave more or less the same way independently of their mood. At the end of the day, be the motivator a joy to be there to do it or the hatred reserved for the concept of existence as a whole, they're still out to destroy all they can.

In increasingly more creative ways.

"No offence," a quick glance upwards, the delivery of a smile. Not crooked, not lopsided, there are no cuts or damages on Yeonghon's face that would distort their smile into something naturally, organically eerie, difficult to welcome, difficult to even look at.

If anything immortality and non-death have added to their skin. Other than the invisible weapon stuck in their throat, they've got nothing bloodied and broken to show.

Except for... themself, of course, for are they anything other than bloodied and broken?

Yes.

They're fucking invincible.

Much as they assume this woman here considers herself to be. Either that, or she's a fool, jumping that readily - ferociously, like a military dog trained to maul at the right whistle sound, let loose off her leash into a frenzy only an animal who's been taught not to care about its own survival would - into a room full of assailants.

They crouch next to her form and continue estimating the bullets left in the clip of the gun they'd just stolen.

"I meant it... you know, less... leverage against you, less weight to carry with you," a click and the gun is ready to use. They place it neatly in her lap. "Strategically speaking, you're better off now. So, go get 'em, tiger."

The back of their hand smacks against her shoulder, right before they throw up a fist in a classic 'fighting' gesture, to animate to do her best in this improvised slaughterhouse.

"There's... maybe four, five left. You got this."

A young Taiwanese boy asks his father a question:

He asks: "Dad, I heard some strange words at school today, and I don't know what they mean."

His dad responds, "Hmm... Tell me what they are. I'll try to explain them as best I can."

The boy asks the following: "What's 'angry?' What's 'furious?' What's 'crazy?' What's 'ku xiao bu de (Taiwanese expression meaning "not knowing whether to laugh or to cry")?'"

His father thinks for a moment--how will he explain this? Then he comes up with an idea. He picks up the phone and dials a random number. The conversation goes like this:

Person on the other end: "Hello, this is the Lin residence, how may I help you?"

Dad: "Hello. I'm looking for Chow Yun-fat." (famous Hong Kong actor, well-known from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)

Mr. Lin: "Excuse me, what?"

Dad: "I'm looking for Chow Yun-fat."

Mr. Lin: "I think you're mistaken--this is the Lin residence."

Dad: "Please, I beg you, may I speak to Chow Yun-fat?"

Mr. Lin: "Oh, this is ridiculous! I've had enough." He hangs up the phone.

The father explains to his son: "There, you see? That person is angry."

The young boy nods, understanding. Then his dad picks up the phone again and dials the same number. Mr Lin responds, politely:

"Hello, this is the Lin residence, how may I help you"

"I'd like to please speak to Chow Yun-fat."

"Did you just escape from the mental institute or something? This is the Lin residence, did you not hear me already?"

"I'm sorry about that. Could you help me find Chow Yun-fat, please?"

"Find your mother's ass!" Mr. Lin hangs up again, and the boy's father explains: "Now that person is not just angry, he is furious. Now for 'crazy.' What does crazy mean? I'll show you."

He picks up the phone again and dials the number a third time. Mr. Lin is still furious, saying, "This is harassment, you hear me? Keep this up and I'lll call the police and get you arrested!"

The dad responds, "Hello, is this the Lin residence?"

Mr. Lin is taken aback. He responds, much more gently: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I've just been getting a bunch of prank calls lately and I'm a little on edge. Who is it you're looking for?"

"I'm looking for Chow Yun-fat."

The dad hangs up and explains, "Now that's what you call crazy."

For his final act, the boy's father picks up the phone and dials the same number one more time.

By this point, Mr. Lin is absolutely frothing at the mouth, sputtering, "This is enough, you hear me? ENOUGH! I'm calling the police! I'll have no more of this. I'm DONE!"

The dad says, "Hello, this is Chow Yun-fat. Has anyone been asking for me?"

And that, my friends, is someone who doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

“happy birthday”

Pairings: Kalim al-Asim x reader, Azul Ashengrotto x reader

Genre: fluff (HCS)

« it's your birthday! everywhere you go there are people wishing you a happy birthday and maybe even giving you a small gift, but he has much bigger plans to celebrate this special day... »

Author's note; “dedicated to a dear friend of mine. Happy happy birthday, @twistedlovenotes ! wishing all the best for you, enjoy your special day ♡”

You know how Kalim is, when he throws a party, it's gonna be big

But since you're his beloved s/o, he doesn't just go big...

He goes BIG

A whole parade with elephants, parrots in any color you can think of, tigers, etc etc, a buffet with many delicious food cooked by yours truly (aka Jamil, please give him a break), and of course,, lots and LOTS of dancing!!

He'd invite the whole of NRC (INCLUDING THE STAFF.) So they all can celebrate the day an angel was born

May or may not have bribed crowley to cancel all classes for the day so they can party all day

It's really just a big bubble of joy and happiness, even Jamil cracks a smile or two

And our little sunshine boy wouldn't dare to leave your side for even a second. He's literally glued to you for the entire day whether it's just a hand on your shoulder or literally dragging you everywhere.

He'd also have many many gifts for you, including a big (HUGE) tiger plushie, golden jewelry, gems. Makes you realize just how rich this kid is

At the end of the day, when all guests had returned to their dorms, he takes your hand and offers one last surprise

« as the doors to the balcony opened wide, you find kalim's magic carpet floating in front of you. One glance at kalim's face was enough to confirm your suspicions, his smile was wider than any of the ones he had shown throughout the entire day. After giving your hand a last squeeze, he temporarily let go of it to hop on the carpet. He then slowly turned back to you and crouched down a little, extending his arm to you with an expression that showed nothing but pure pure love, you could almost see hearts in his eyes. »

“the guests are gone, it's just us now on this special day... Shall we?”

Being the filthy business man he is, Azul would throw a private party in the mostro lounge, only allowing the octavinelle dorm members and your friends to join.

Unlike kalim's party, Azul's is quite formal. Everyone's in their best suits and dresses and there's a seperate table where guests are to place their gifts to you.

No, this is not just and excuse for you to fawn over Azul in a fancy suit.

He'd make some dorm members (who had recently disobeyed him and still needed to receive punishment) serve as waiters, carrying plates full of only the best snacks and drinks mostro lounge has to offer, and of course there's also fancy dinner :) perks of having a fancy snobby scammer business man as your boyfriend I guess

Gifts for you would include a free pass for him to make one of your wishes come true (no price, no ulterior motives), a big teddy bear and a fancy dress/suit(/whatever you prefer) (please wear it to the party, he'd melt.

The two of you would give such a powerful rich couple vibes, everyone would SHIVER just looking at you two..

And of course propose a toast to another year of joy and good health for you near the end of the day ♡

« it was starting to get late, the guests seemed a lot less lively than a few hours ago. Your own feet were starting to hurt a little as well, but you couldn't get yourself to wish for this moment to end. Azul, however, had noticed your uneasiness and gently placed a hand on your waist, tilting his head to the side before leading you to somewhere quiet. It was only after you entered the room that you noticed he had taken you to the VIP room. There he allowed you to sit down and rest before seeing the guests off, and spend a little alone time with your dearest love on this blessed day. »

“it truly is a blessing to have someone like you in my life. once again, happy birthday, my love.”

(PS: wanted to include more characters but :') motivation said nah, little tiny bit rushed as well so,,,, So sorry)

KATE BISHOP x READER

PICK UP LINES

Summary: Y/N, former widow, she's is a part of the Avengers. When Kate Bishop joined the group, Y/N developed a big crush for the archer. What will a game night will do to their friendship? Spoiler: two Russian sisters cooperated to help Y/N.

Warnings: just a little bit of heavy kissing, not too much.

Word count: 6800 words.

-

"Y/L/N, you’re with me today."

"Oh great, so it’ll be an easy day!"

Natasha threw a murderous glare over her shoulder at her friend, watching her lift her arms up, "don’t be so sure of yourself."

"We’ll see Romanoff." The two best friends sparred for over an hour, not realizing they gained an audience during this short period of time, the boys still shocked about the fact that you were the only one, apart from Yelena too, that could knock the widow out during a sparring session, none of them succeeding in this task, being always the ones sprawled on the mat with a smug Natasha watching them from above. "C’mon Romanoff, this is all you got?"

Natasha grunted and sprinted towards Y/N, the ash-blonde effortlessly dodging Natasha’s hit and crouched down to sweep her off her feet, making her fall on the mat with a loud thud and a frustrated groan, "go easy on her tiger, she’s still a rookie." A familiar voice yelled from the other side of the room, her accent strong than ever, putting an instant smile on the ash-blonde’s face.

She got up and walked towards the approaching figure, accompanied by an unknown black haired girl, "look who’s finally back, missed me Belova?"

"Not even for a second." The blonde had her signature smirk on, who broadened when her best friend opened her arms to let her in for a craved big hug. Yelena leaped into Y/N’s arms and squeezed her tightly, the ash-blonde doing just the same with just as much enthusiasm.

"Well, I missed your stupid face."

"Mushy. Have you gone soft when I was away?"

"You know what? You should have stayed forever in Morocco."

"You would’ve missed me too much."

"Don’t make me use my favorite knife Belova." The two laughed softly and bumped their shoulders together, "oh, how rude. I’m sorry, I’m-"

"Y/N Y/L/N. I know, big fan." The unknown girl interjected enthusiastically, gripping the outstretched hand the ash-blonde offered her and shaking it eagerly.

"Always a pleasure to meet a fan!" She smiled brightly at the blue eyed girl, finding really difficult to look away from her mesmerizing eyes, "and you are?"

"Oh right! I’m Kate, Kate Bishop. Hawkeye." Kate was still frantically shaking Y/N’s hand, a gesture that Y/N found really cute and entertaining, with the corner of her eye catching Yelena snort softly at the funny scene playing in front of her. It seemed that the sound her best friend emitted was enough to pull Kate away from her daze, stop looking at Y/N in awe and clear her throat softly after releasing the girl’s hand, smiling embarrassed.

"I’m pretty sure Hawkeye looked slightly different last time I saw him." Y/N quipped, hearing Natasha laugh beside her, not hearing her approach them. Damned spies abilities. Y/N you are a spy too. Shut up.

"Oh, I’m the other one. Some people says I’m the best archer in the world. The best of us two, but he doesn’t know that." Kate whispered the last part with her hand placed beside her mouth, like it was the most important secret in the world, earning a laugh from the other three girls.

"Clint called me when I was in Morocco, she is our new recruit. We worked together on the mission. She is really good with a bow and an arrow. And she is funny too. Y/N just know that I just replaced you with her."

Y/N stared with her mouth slacked open and disbelief showing in her on her face, "y’know what Belova? Go fuck yourself."

Y/N went to walk away with a unimpressed expression, hearing a melodious, but unfamiliar laugh, that pulled a soft smile at the new and addicting sound, but the ash-blonde quickly replaced it with a pout to prove her point, when a hand prevented her to, pulling her back and felt her body collide with another one, Yelena ruffling her hair softly and chuckling at her friend, "ohw, Y/L/N you’re so easy to make fun of!"

-

Tony decided to throw one of his characteristic parties to welcome Kate on the team, stating that it would be an intimate, small party, but when the ash-blonde walked out of the elevator she was met with at least 300 people she didn’t recognize, rolling her eyes and shaking her head fondly at the billionaire, mumbling a soft ‘typical of Tony’. She walked towards the bar, leaning her back on the counter and observing the room full of people, "what is a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?"

Y/N smiled at the voice and turned around with a seductive smirk, "I was waiting for an hot redhead bartender to offer me a drink."

"Smooth. What do you want to drink?"

"The usual." Natasha nodded and placed two shot glasses on the counter, filling them with vodka and offering one to her best friend, both clicking them together and cheering before knocking the liquid down their throats.

"You started without me!" Yelena whined when she arrived at the bar wearing a green dress and her hair pulled up in a perfect braid, Natasha chuckling at her sister’s antics and grabbing another shot glass, filling it and passing it to her, who drank the liquid fast and slammed it on the counter for a refill. The three of them cheered with their refilled shot glasses and drank again, neither of them reacting at the taste.

"Wow El, a dress. I’m impressed." She made an ‘I approve’ face, her eyes raking her friend’s figure before meeting up her stare, "I thought you only lived with you cargo pants on."

"And don’t forget her vest." Natasha added with a smug smirk.

"Oh! How could I forget Yelena’s beloved vest!" Y/N continued with a sarcastic voice, making Nat chuckle with her.

Yelena stared at the two with her mouth slightly open in disbelief, "you jerks, they have a lots of pockets! And you told me you liked them!"

Yelena let her characteristic pout show up on her face and Y/N and Natasha let out tender ‘aw’s picking the blonde’s cheeks, "of course we like them, babe. In fact we love them! And they suit you perfectly." Y/N half-pouted, half-smiled at Yelena and pinched her her cheeks some more before hugging her briefly.

“I hate you.”

“No you don’t.” Y/N smirked and drank another shot of vodka, the two Russians mirroring her, slamming the glasses down and turning around to survey the room full of people.

"I have still to wrap my mind around the fact that you freaks don’t make weird faces while doing vodka shoots." Sam approached the three girls with a teasing smile on, the three of them rolling their eyes fondly.

"Pfft, amateur." Yelena teased Sam, who smiled at her, drinking another shot, just to brag a little, Sam mumbling a ‘show off’ to the blonde, causing a laugh to escape her lips, Natasha and Y/N shaking their heads chuckling. The two of them started to talk animatedly over something Y/N didn’t pay attention to it, because once her eyes laid on the figure walking down the stairs, she shut the entire room out, the girl hearing only a faint muffled sound.

There she was, Kate, walking down the stairs with a midnight blue, velvet dress, her hair tied up in a messy, but fancy bun and light make up, highlighting her blue eyes, Y/N fighting - and failing - against her eyes wanting to ogle at the archer, not wanting to seem like a creep.

"Close your mouth, Y/L/N, or you’ll catch flies." This snapped Y/N out of her trance, blinking up a couple of times before looking at Nat pleadingly, not wanting her to tease for this, the ash-blonde knowing she wouldn’t hear the end of it, "don’t worry, I don’t blame you. She’s hot."

The green eyed girl was wearing a dark grey suit with a white blouse under, bold make up to highlight her eyes and a nude lipstick. When she saw the black haired girl she adjusted her blazer subtly and cleared her throat, Nat watching her with her signature smirk.

"Hi guys! Wow! So, this is one of the infamous Tony Stark’s parties! Clint talked about them all the time." Kate looked around the room for a brief moment before looking back at the two girls smiling up at her.

"Well you get used to it." Y/N replied nonchalantly, leaning on the counter on her arm, crossing her legs and staring at her smugly, trying to give off a cool vibe.

"No you don’t." Yelena interjected, her head leaning on her closed fists, enjoying Y/N’s poor attempt to look cool, Y/N not noticing she took Natasha‘s place behind the bar, the redhead now was at the end of the counter, talking to Sam and Scott.

"Right, you just plainly ignore i everything after the umpteenth party." She cleared her throat and changed the subject, "so Clint, hm? What’s the deal with… y’know… sharing the same name…?"

"Oh we just approved we have the same superhero’s name."

"Right, so you worked with him?" Y/N asked curiously, wanting to get to know the blue eyed girl, meanwhile Yelena eyed her best friend with a knowing, soft smile.

"Well yes, he was my mentor, and after lot of missions together he told me I was ready to become an Avenger. That’s where I met Yelena." The girl smiled and lifted her shot glass up, drinking it up quickly, Y/N signaling to fill her a shot too.

Yelena moved the bottle towards the black haired girl with an arched eyebrow, silently asking her if she wanted some, the girl nodding enthusiastically, only to grimace and groan when she drank her first shot alongside Y/N, losing count of how many shots she already had, but she wasn’t worried, knowing she held her liquor really well, "ugh, I don’t know how you look so unfazed by this burning sensation."

"I know right!" Sam yelled from the other side, making Kate snort at him and nod in agreement.

"So what’s your story? Yelena talked a lot about you." It was now Kate’s turn to ask questions, mirroring the green eyes F girl in front of her, leaning her arm on the counter.

"All good things I hope."

"Of course… not…" Yelena was just plainly drinking from the bottle now, smirking at her best friend, who snatched the bottle from her hands and took a swig of the liquor, passing the bottle to Kate, who reluctantly grabbed it and took a small sip, not wanting to feel that excessively burning sensation.

Y/N rolled her eyes and shook her head, pushing her best friend hard on the shoulder, the girl not even moving a slight bit, smirking up at her smugly, "we know each other since we were kids. I met Natasha and Yelena in the red room."

"You’re a widow too?!" Kate asked in disbelief, widening her eyes and taking a big swig of alcohol now.

"Yes, Natasha was lucky enough to escape, but me and Yelena went through hell, with psychological conditioning and all." Both girls shivered at the memory and Kate stared at them sympathetically, "but it’s all in the past now."

"Wait, psychological conditioning? What’s that?"

"Well it’s a chemical substance that alter your synapses and practically makes you an lethal human puppet." Y/N explained, Yelena nodding beside her.

"Can you repeat that in a language that can be understood by us normal people?"

Y/N giggled from Kate’s joke, Yelena snorting alongside her, "mind control."

"Yeah right." Kate laughed and drank some more alcohol, but when she noticed the two best friends didn’t laugh with her, she asked with an appalled expression, "you’re kidding right?"

"I wish it was joke. We were fully conscious of our bodies and our actions, but at the same time we weren’t. We were just like puppets moved around by their toy-man. Spectators of our own horrible actions and powerless in front of his orders, unable of fighting against our own selves to stop all of the atrocities we committed." Yelena explained, looking in the distance at the end of her speech, shuddering at the memories. A hand intertwining their fingers together pulled her out of her mind, looking down at Y/N’s thumb caressing the back of her hand softly.

"But it’s in the past now. An old widow helped Yelena escape from physiological conditioning and then she found me and freed me, before we did the same with every other widow all around the world."

They stayed in silence to let Kate sink all these informations in, the girl staring at the two best friend’s in sympathy. She shook her head and changed the subject, wanting to lift the spirits up, "so from what I heard and from what I saw this morning, you’re the only one who can beat the infamous Black Widow. And Yelena too of course."

"Yes, and for the record I can beat Yelena’s ass in a second. So we can say I’m the best widow here."

"You bitch, that’s not true."

"The big bruise on your butt you have every time we fight tells otherwise."

Yelena grunted and punched Y/N hard on her shoulder, the girl screeching a loud ‘ow’ before leaping over the bar and punching Yelena too, who let out a loud "HA!" when she dodger it, her best friend not giving up and trying once again, landing a punch on Yelena’s shoulder, the blonde hissing at the pain, a little, harmless fight going on between them, meanwhile Kate was watching them with fond confusion, watching them fight like two siblings and smiling brightly in finding in them what her and Clint have.

-

It’s been a couple of months after Kate’s arrival and her addition to the team was precious. She was hard working, focused on the mission but always ready to crack a joke, even at the worst of times, like that one time she when they were surrounded by HYDRA minions.

Y/N and Kate got really close, since when the two went on a mission together, having time to know each other on a deeper level, Y/N opening up about her past in the red room and Kate talking about her childhood and her difficult relationship with his criminal father. They were attached by the hip, almost like Y/N and Yelena.

To say Y/N had a crush on Kate was the understatement of the year and of course Yelena and Natasha knew, the two reading their best friend like a book, asking her friend, when they had their suspects, if she had a crush on Kate and the girl just plainly mushed over Kate’s eyes, face, personality and so on.

"Somebody is whipped already! Oh no! Oh no!" Natasha made fun of her friend, side hugging her, squishing her friend hard.

"Guys have you heard her laugh? It’s the most endearing sound I’ve ever heard… beside Yelena’s snores of course."

"Hey!" Yelena pouted and pushed Y/N on her right shoulder who was still hugging Natasha, causing the two of them to fall on the bed, laughing hard.

"She’s not wrong. Your snores are simultaneously the loudest and the cutest thing in the world." Natasha argued and watched Yelena pout.

"Ow come here big baby, we love your chainsaw snores." Yelena slapped Y/N’s stomach and her sister’s right leg before settling between her sister and her best friend and let them cuddle her on either side of her.

Since her confession they did everything in their power to embarrass her in front of the archer, always finding new ways each passing day, or teased her every time they caught her staring lovingly at the archer.

But they outdone theirselves this very night. It started like a normal game night with the Avengers, just hanging out a bit and let the world’s problems disappear for just one night.

"We should play truth or dare." Thor proposed out of the blue, sipping on his Asgardian beer, some concoction that Y/N, Yelena and Natasha tried one night, finding themselves the next day sleeping naked in the backyard with the compound completely trashed and full of colorful styrofoam pieces, not remembering a single thing. They were lucky no one was at the compound that morning and didn’t saw them butt naked. They cleaned the mess and deleted all the surveillance tapes.

"What are you? 12?" Y/N chuckled into her beer, stopping when she saw Thor’s serious expression, "wait, really?"

"Yeah! I did some research and internet told me that it’s one of the most popular games in America!" He told her eagerly, happiness shining in his blue eyes, and who was she to crush a God’s enthusiasm?

"Alright, if you want to play, we can play."

Yelena snorted in her bottle and mumbled, "softy."

"Yelena don’t start or I’ll make you eat the table’s leg again."

"I would pay to see the scene." Natasha laughed hard at her sister’s fearful expression.

"Wait, again?" Kate asked beside Natasha, her widened eyes full of questions and uncertainty.

"That’s a story we’ll tell someday." Yelena dismissed them waving her hand around, Y/N nodding beside her.

"Well, shall we start?" Tony asked, adjusting his position on the couch and asked Steve the first question. This went on for a while until Natasha payed up her dare. She sat down once again and met her sister’s eyes for a brief moment before settling her green orbs on Y/N, who gulped loudly at the expression Natasha was sporting.

"Y/N?"

"Hm?" The ash-blonde asked uncertain.

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth." The girl answered, knowing really well Natasha would embarrass her for life with her dares.

"HA! Told ya! She’s a pussy." Yelena yelled, pushing Natasha softly on her shoulder, taking a big swig of her drink, Natasha nodding beside her, taking sip of her own beer.

Y/N rolled her eyes and took a deep calming breath, "dare."

"That’s my girl." Yelena patted her shoulder, laughing when Y/N punched her softly in her stomach, Yelena bumping their shoulders together, laughing carefree.

"Y/N…" oh god… this is it… "I want you to tell the worst pick up lines you could think of…" Y/N smiled and went to mumble ‘easy’, sighing in relief, when Natasha continued, pausing to make it look like she was still thinking about a dare for Y/N, "to Kate." Y/N’s grin fell off her face, that turned slightly white at the prospect of flirting with her crush. She recovered quickly and addressed her two best friends, who were failing miserably to cover their smirks with their beer bottles.

"It’s fine by me, if you want to do the dare." Kate stepped in with a warm and comforting smile, trying to soothe the ash-blonde’s self-doubts away.

"Oh she has to comply to the dare. Otherwise I’ll ask Thor to place his hammer on her head." Y/N considered her options, for a moment really considering Thor’s hammer on her head, but in the end swallowing her fears and got up - deciding it would definitely hurt more Thor’s hammer than embarrass herself in front of her crush, one option could wound her body, the other one could wound her pride. In all honesty she was still considering it while sitting up, conflicting thoughts swirling around her head until she walked in front of Kate and sat beside her, deciding on complying her dare.

"Alright, here I am. What are your other two wishes?" Y/N told Kate, staring directly into her intoxicating blue eyes with a serious expression, beside them Yelena and Natasha lost it immediately, laughing their asses off at the pick up line Y/N delivered.

"That was the worst pick up line I’ve ever heard." Natasha said between laughs, Yelena leaning her body on hers for support, repeatedly slapping softly her sister’s arm.

"I feel sorry for you Kate." The blonde wiped the tears that escaped her eyes and composed herself, wanting to focus on the priceless show she was witnessing.

Y/N rolled her eyes at her two dumb best friends and flipped them off, hearing a soft giggle coming out of Kate, smiling at the cute sound, "four more to come. You can do it!" Kate encouraged Y/N, who nodded and looked back into her intoxicating eyes.

"I was wondering… aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?" Y/N was starting to feel sweat beads forming on her forehead, trying really hard to shut her best friends’ laughs out, the other Avengers watching the scene intently, a few cracking a smile at Y/N’s efforts.

"Good one." Y/N swore she saw the faintest blush on Kate’s face but she thought nothing of it, feeling herself getting dizzy from embarrassment.

"If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put ‘U’ and ‘I’ together."

"Booo." Yelena yelled, "you can do much better."

"Yelena I sweat to God-"

"Focus on me c’mon, you’re doing great." Kate interjected and stopped Y/N from throwing a murderous glare at her best friend, who was finding entertainment in her agony.

"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?"

Kate snorted and nodded, Y/N not really understanding if it was to approve her pick up line or answering her question, but she didn’t want to think about it too much, fearing she would faint in front of her crush if it was the latter. "Last one. Hit me with your best one yet, c’mon."

Y/N took the hem of her blue t-shirt and stretched it over to Kate, caressing it softly, "here, feel my shirt." Kate tentatively touched her shirt, their fingers brushing lightly, sending shock waves throughout Y/N’s body, but fought against her brain shutting off and continued with her pick up line, "do you know what it’s made of? Girlfriend material." She told her seriously and kept her eyes glued on Kate’s ones, watching her blush and smile shyly at her.

"Good job. Those were the worst pick up lines I’ve ever heard. Thank you." The archer giggled and Y/N felt over the moon, standing up and feeling her legs almost give out, wobbling over her seat beside Yelena, crashing on the couch, leaning her head on the cushion behind her and closing her eyes. She felt the blonde approaching her, hugging her torso and whispering in her ear, "good job womanizer. It was a funny scene to watch but I think we paved the way for you to make your move tonight."

Y/N’s eyes snapped open and turned her head towards the blonde who was smiling up at her sincerely, "El are you drunk? I’m not going to confess my crush to her! I embarrassed myself enough tonight!"

"You’ll thank us later, you’ll see." Yelena simply stated, patting her hand on her stomach and pulling away, "it’s your turn dickface." Yelena pushed Y/N on the shoulder to get her attention, the girl staring off into space with an unfocused expression, her best friend bringing her back on earth.

"Yelena, truth or dare?" Y/N asked in an hard tone, staring at Yelena in challenge and determination with her right eyebrow up.

-

Everyone called it a night about 10 minutes ago but Y/N stayed back to clean up a little bit, not really sleepy, her mind still reeling from her dare, still not believing she embarrassed herself in front of Kate. Sure she laughed it off, only because she is too polite and sweet to tell her she was disgusting and to tell the ash-blonde to fuck o-

"Knock knock."

Y/N’s train of thoughts was interrupted by a voice, the girl too busy in her own mind to hear someone approach her, and turned around, smiling softly at the blue eyed girl, "who’s there?"

"Baby Yoda." Kate answered seriously and this took Y/N aback, confusion clear on her face.

"Baby Yoda who?"

"Baby Yoda one for me." Y/N snorted loudly at the poor attempt of a pick up line Kate just told her, "it was bad, wasn’t it?" She grimaced and chuckled softly, walking further into the common area of the Avengers compound.

"Not as awful as mines, but yeah… it was really bad." Y/N laughed, dumping an empty cup into the trash bag she was holding into her left hand.

"I found a couple of them good, cute almost."

"Ugh, please let’s not talk about those ever again, I embarrassed myself enough." Y/N let out a mix between a groan and a whine, frantically throwing everything into the bag and walking into the kitchen to settle it in the trash can.

"You don’t have to feel embarrassed I-"

"You don’t need to explain yourself, I let my guard down with those two idiots and they involved you in all of this. I didn't want to drag you into my mess and I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable."

"Bu-wait let your guard down? Your mess?"

Y/N widened her eyes at the questions, still a little bit intoxicated from the alcohol she consumed after the dare, wanting to suppress everything with a little bit - it was more than a little bit - of vodka. It made her just slightly tipsy, but enough to loose her inhibitions it seems, "fuck- I- gotta go."

"Wait no-" Kate grabbed her arm before she could exit the kitchen and turned her around to face the archer’s warm eyes one again, Y/N ones full of uncertainty, insecurities and distress, "what did you mean by that?"

"I- uhm…" Y/N broke their staring contest and frantically searched something to settle her eyes on, desperately trying to find a way out of this mess she created, but when her eyes settled on those blue hues she became fond of once again, so full of comfort and affection, she decided right here, right now to just dive in and see what happens. She survived the Red Room, what is revealing to your crush you like them in comparison? Fucking terrifying, let me tell you. "Okay, fuck it…" Y/N paused in anticipation to take a breath to give her enough courage to confess her feelings for the blue eyed girl, the archer holding her breath in anticipation, hoping this conversation was heading were she thought it was heading. "I like you, Kate. And I told my best friends about my feelings for you and since then they did everything to embarrass me in front of you, hence the dare. I didn’t want to drag you into this mess, but I did, and I’m sorry."

"Since when?"

"About two months ago."

Silence fell upon them, Y/N never felt anxious, not even when she was alone fighting against 35 thugs wanting her dead. But right now, with Kate’s eyes studying her face intently, still not saying a word about her confession except for her previous question, she felt nauseous, anxious and dreading the reaction, wanting to run as fast and far as possible.

"I was wondering about a thing I read sometime ago…" Kate spoke up after what felt an eternity for the former widow, anxiety became confusion, Y/N’s furrowed eyebrow were a clear sign. She expected Kate calling her disgusting, asking her to stay away from her, hell she even pictured Kate punching squarely in the face. She wasn’t expecting this, whatever this was.

"About what?"

"People say nothing lasts forever so…" she paused for good measure, "do you want to me my nothing?"

Realization hit Y/N like a train, a plane and cruise ship all at once, hope swirling around in her stomach making her feel nauseous in a new and exciting way, "are you saying what I think you’re saying?" She felt a big smile staring to form on her lips, not really fighting against it, letting it freely appear on her face.

"Well if my bad pick up line wasn’t an enough good evidence, maybe this will clear your mind." With that last word of her sentence, Kate surged forward and grasped Y/N’s neck, pulling the former widow towards her and crashing their lips together in what Y/N classified as the best kiss she ever had.

The ash-blonde was a little taken aback from the sudden gesture, not expecting it - not even in her wildest dreams - , freezing up when Kate’s lips wrapped around her own, but Kate’s hand squeezing her neck brought her back on earth, making her reciprocate the kiss.

Their lips moved over each other together, not really wanting to rush anything, just enjoying the closeness and the other’s taste, Y/N’s hands sneaking around her waist and caressed her back affectionately, the girl shivering at the tender gesture. When air became necessary, they broke apart, exchanging a few pecks before reluctantly pulling away from the other. Y/N kept her eyes closed, Kate watching her with amusement written all over her face, biting down on her lower lip to suppress a laugh, while her hands on the back of her head caressed Y/N’s skin softly, leaving a trail of goosebumps in her fingers’ wake, "wow…" Y/N let out with a dreamy voice, Kate humming in agreement.

"I know, the feeling is mutual."

"If this is a dream, do not wake me up!" She said with her eyebrow furrowed in an hard expression, almost like she was talking to someone.

"Open your eyes, it’s true. I’m here."

Kate wasn’t prepared when Y/N forced her eyelids open and her blue hues met the power green that now where Y/N’s eyes, staring at her with what she could only consider a mix of fondness and delight. "Never in a million years I would have thought this would happen tonight, not after the pick up lines fiasco." The ash-blonde let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head side to side.

Kate mirrored her and nodded, "Well for what’s worth it, I think they were good."

"Oh please! They were bad."

"I liked all of them, especially the first one."

"Really?"

"Yes, because you are everything I wish for."

"Now who’s the good one with pick up lines, hm?" Y/N asked smugly and tightened her arms around around Kate’s waist, forcing her to lean her body on her own, their noses brushing together softly.

"You’re incredible." Kate told her out of the blue, staring intently into her eyes.

"And…" Y/N stopped and faked being confused for a second before staring at Kate in awe, the archer waiting expectantly, getting ready for a new pick up line, "you’re so beautiful, you made me forget my pick up line."

Kate blushed hard at that and pulled the girl into a deep, bruising kiss, leaving them both breathless when they pulled away, Kate staring affectionately at Y/N, a warm smile pulling at the corners of her lips.

"Don’t look at me like that, it makes my insides melt and it makes me want to kiss you again."

"Who said you couldn’t?" With that last affirmation, Y/N leaned in and kissed Kate once again, more firmly this time, pressing their lips in an hard kiss, changing angle from time to time to kiss her better. After some time, the ash-blonde let her tongue out to trace Kate’s lips to ask her permission to deepen the kiss, the blue eyed girl granting her immediately, moaning softly when Y/N’s tongue invaded her mouth.

The former widow shivered at Kate’s sound and let out what she pathetically recognized as a whine, pulling on Kate‘s hips hard and flushed their bodies together, leaning impossibly closer on each other, the archer’s hand in her blonde locks tightening their hold, while Y/N’s hand got bolder and wandered down to give a tentative but firm squeeze on the archer’s left butt cheek, pulling the loudest moan so far from Kate, the girl wailing right into Y/N’s mouth, the motion so erotic the ash-blonde felt her legs give out for a split second. One of Kate’s hands left Y/N’s neck to sneak between their bodies and squeeze Y/N’s right breast, both of them moaning at the sensation, Y/N for the unexpected but really welcomed action, Kate for the shocking discovery of the simultaneously soft and firm texture of her boobs, the black haired girl’s eyes staring at Y/N chest more times than she could count every single time she saw her wear tight t-shirts and sport bras, something the girl loved to wear often in the compound and during her daily workout, the archer always wanting to touch but never been able to do it. But now that she can, she was over the moon.

When their lungs burned from lack of air, they pulled away, breathing heavily while raking their eyes on their faces and bodies, finding blushing cheeks, lips swollen and chests hardly heaving, their hands now in safe places, Kate’s ones returning behind Y/N’s neck and Y/N’s ones placed safely on her hips, caressing her through the thin layer of her shirt.

"Is your name Google? Because you’re everything I’m searching for."

Kate giggled cutely and pecked her lips softly, "no, my name is Kate, but you can call me yours." She mumbled on her mouth and Y/N simultaneously blushed harder and let out a soft growl, before diving in for another sweet kiss.

"I like this back-and-forth pick up lines game between us." Y/N smiled shyly at Kate, her eyes shining with glee, joy exuding from every pore of her body.

"Me too." Kate reciprocated the smile and leaned forward to kiss Y/N once again, choosing to kiss her deeply once their lips met, her tongue invading the ash-blonde’s mouth immediately, who moaned at the bold gesture and walked them backwards onto the nearest wall, trapping the archer there with her own body, Kate whining pitifully in her mouth and pulling on her hair hard to hold her impossibly closer.

"Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in you eyes." Y/N spoke up after sometime, staring intently into Kate’s blue orbs, the two pulling away to subside their needy kisses, their hearts beating loudly in their chests and the butterflies in their stomaches going crazy.

"Look who’s talking! You have the most beautiful eyes I ever saw."

"I can say the same thing about yours." They stared fondly at one another and smiled shyly. "Go on a date with me." Y/N spoke up after silence fell upon them, watching a blush appear on the black haired girl’s cheeks, the girl interrupting their on going staring contest for only a second to smile shyly at the ground, Y/N pecking the red skin repeatedly, causing the blush on Kate’s face to intensify.

"Yes. I would love to." Kate looked up once again and both lost themselves in their magnetic eyes.

"Good, it’s settled then."

"Yup. It’s a date!"

Y/N smiled at her and pulled away, "now c’mon. I’ll walk you to your bedroom." Y/N outstretched her arm out for Kate to entwine their arms together, Kate’s hand traveling down from her forearm to her hand and intertwined their fingers together, their stomaches doing somersaults at the cute motion and at the intoxicating sensation it caused both girls to feel, before starting to walk out of the kitchen.

"Wait, you were in the middle of cleaning up."

"Oh don’t worry." Y/N waved her hand around in a ‘it’s not a big deal’ gesture, "J.A.R.V.I.S will do that tomorrow, I stayed back to be overdramatic and to beat myself up for embarrassing myself in front of my crush." Kate leaned her head back to laugh at the ridiculousness of Y/N’s reasons to clean up the room, not really to help with tidying up the place, but only to self-pitying herself. "But hey, it helped with having some privacy to talk!"

"True!" Kate sighed and leaned her head on Y/N shoulder, the girl turning her head around to kiss the crown of her forehead.

Y/N switched the lights off and both walked towards the elevator, pressing the button to their floor - luckily Kate lived on the same floor Y/N, Natasha and Yelena stayed at, Kate's bedroom right across Yelena’s bedroom door - . So it shouldn’t have been a surprise to Y/N what happened next.

"I’ll see you tomorrow." Kate nodded, biting her lower lips to suppress the big smile fighting to come out, in the end stopping her efforts in fighting it and letting the brighter-than-the-sun grin to stretch over her lips, the ash-blonde sporting one too, "we have a date to attend to."

Y/N started to lean in to kiss Kate goodnight when suddenly they heard a door open and a smug looking Yelena came into view, leaning her left shoulder on her door frame with her arms crossed, dressed in black sweatpants and white t-shirt, "I want a reward for what I’ve done tonight."

"Yelena!" Y/N only turned slightly towards her best friend, not going too far from Kate.

"What?! It’s true! If it wasn’t for my idea, you wouldn’t be kissing right now!" Yelena’s accent was stronger than ever now, her eyebrow furrowed together to prove she was on their side.

"We’re not kissing right now because you’re disturbing us."

"Oh sorry, pretend I’m not even here!"

"But you are." Y/N argued back and Yelena groaned.

"Kate please make our little Y/N relax, she needs it." Kate just merely laughed while Y/N regarded Yelena with an hard stare, "don’t look at me like that, you’re uptight lately. It’s clear that it’s not working anymore masturbating every night screaming Kate’s-"

"OKAY! Stop!" Kate had a bewildered expression on, laughing baffled at the russian’s unexpected brashness, but felt a slight and familiar pressure between her thighs at the revelation.

"What? I‘m stating the truth! It’s honestly really difficult shutting your moans out! I thought that Stark was rich and could afford soundproof rooms, but living right next to you proved I was wrong."

"Yelena… stop talking or I will make you stop." Y/N drawled each word, growling under her breath, Kate just watching amused at the two best friends acting like children, feeling Y/N’s hand on her hips squeeze her side, not too much tho.

"I didn’t say anything wrong. I was just informing Kate of your late night acti-"

"That’s it." Y/N pulled away from Kate, and walked towards Yelena, pushing her into her room and turning around just a second to say to Kate, "excuse me, I’ll beat her up quickly and we can finish our talk." And then closed the door.

Kate stared at the wooden surface a couple of seconds with a still shocked but aroused expression, a fond smile on her lips at the two best friends’ antics, before jumping on her spot startled when she heard a loud thud, followed by grunts, commotions and fighting sounds from the other side. A few seconds later Y/N emerged from Yelena’s room, opening the door wide enough for the archer to see the blonde leaning on her bed, facing the door.

"I’m okay!" She winced and flipped Y/N off with her middle finger, the ash-blonde chuckling and blowing her a kiss before turning and walking towards Kate, waiting patiently in front of her bedroom door.

"I’ll see you tomorrow. Goodnight." She rounded her arms around her waist and pulled her closer, Kate’s hands entwining behind Y/N’s neck, both grinning brightly at the other.

"Goodnight Y/N." They met halfway in a sweet kiss, both smiling on each other lips at the ‘aw’ Yelena emitted form her position on the bed.

They pulled away a few seconds after, Kate turning around to open her bedroom door, but before she could close it, Y/N spoke up, "I must be in a museum, because you are a truly piece of art!"

Kate chuckled and Y/N purposefully ignored her best friend’s snort from her bedroom, "go to sleep, you must be tired! Because you’ve been running though my mind all day!"

They both laughed at their pick up lines, hearing Yelena yell enthusiastically ‘the girl got game!’ before Kate closed her bedroom door, Y/N turning around and walking in Yelena’s bedroom, closing the door and trudging towards the bed, leaning down beside her best friend, "don’t say a word."

Yelena smiled brightly at her best friend and hugged her tightly, leaning her head on her shoulder and looking up at her with a fond smile, "you are perfect for each other! I can’t wait to tell Nat first thing in the morning."

"Ugh, great." Y/N faked being annoyed, when in fact she was really grateful for her two best friends, who she considered family, along with the Avengers of course, pulling Yelena close, cuddling her in comfort, something they had done since their first night in the red room, the action calming both of them immediately.

"Thank you, by the way. For helping me find the courage to tell her how I felt."

"You’re welcome, pridurok."

A sunny afternoon.

That midsummer feeling.

Where time melts, and fullness comes from walking in a busy brush, your nearest park, around the block.

It’s too hot to hold hands, but being in your partner’s presence is enough.

Soonyoung smiled. At you. Until his gums appeared and his blush hit the inside top-tips of his folded triangle ears.

You smiled back. Love often didn’t come with words.

Some languages got close, but - it’s a *feeling* - not a bunch of random words assembled together in an archaic code.

“Do you really want to go out to Laura’s party later? It’s like, all the way down the coast. Pretty long way to go for such an unreliable friend?”

Hoshi stopped abruptly, arm brushing yours as he turned to crouch next to a group of beautiful, and rather large-for-the-occasion daisies. His tail curled up against his leg then back down against the asphalt. Unfurling as his head tipped forward.

With a lack of response, you continued.

“I don’t know, it just feels like a waste of an evening?”

He poked and prodded at the floors in front of him, like a house cat toying with loose string ends.

“Kwon Soonyoung! I am trying to have a conversation -” 

Your puff of annoyance was soon discarded.

As a daisy slipped behind your ear, and Soonyoung’s body returned to the space next to yours. He chuffed softly, tucking his hands into his pockets. Pushing you gently with his shoulder. Nuzzling your cheek, barely. Before walking slowly forward, continuing the pace set before.

Your insides felt like wobbly jelly for a moment. Stalling - before dashing to catch up a few strides ahead.

Soonyoung shrugged lazily, watching you affectionately as you tipped forward, adjusting your speed like a giddy kid. That you weren’t anymore, thankfully, but your mannerisms were much the same. Clumsy, loud. Skittish, kind.

Sometimes he thought about you like this - in the early spring, the two of you kids again - but that time had passed, and you were in the newest phase of your lives. Adulthood appeared hard and fast. But love made it a little easier on the spirit.

His ears tipped forward when you linked a loose arm, hanging from his taller one. Mostly holding his sleeve.

“I don’t mind. But you’re right - it does seem like a waste of such a nice evening.”

You peered up at him as he spoke, smiling with a weak nod. 

Your mind wandered as you kept walking. Journeying to nowhere in particular beyond neighbourhood roads and the cement ruins near your local schools. There’s nowhere quite like home. Especially on such a hazy summer day. 

Soonyoung emitted something close to a purr - or at least the closest he could represent. Tongue pressed to the palette of his mouth to soften the rough chuffs, pulling you closer only to lightly push you away. 

“Let’s go home?” He decided, for the both of you.

You nodded, stifling a yawn, resting your head against his arm.

“Sounds like a plan.” 

Soonyoung’s ears flickered as a cool gust of wind rounded the corner of the library building, breaking the dead warm air. His tail swished to wrap loosely around your ankle, before slipping back away. Huffing deeply, eyes creased and body tensing before sneezing off to the side with a full body shiver.

“You’re gross~” You giggled, pushing him away from you before you thudded back together like swings of gravity.

“Nerd.” He chuckled, offering his hand.

And despite the heat, you accepted the offer.

~~~••••~~~~~☆☆☆~~~~~••••~~~

Upon entering your flat, trailing up the stairs with heavy and lethargic passion; Soonyoung collapsed onto the cool tan sofa in front of the window. Spreading his limbs out in a way that truly showed his tiger characteristics.

He settles, before jumping up, moving far too quickly to move into the bedroom and change into softer clothes. His choice was some grey cotton shorts and a matching white t-shirt.

“Ah, comfy clothes, is it?” You shouted from the kitchen.

Distracted by your shuffling in the fridge, Soonyoung chose his moment perfectly.

The lack of response to your question made you frown, turning to see where he had gone, two ice lollies in hand. 

Turning towards the open room, you frowned deeper.

But before you could shout for him, two arms wrapped firmly around your waist to haul you up and into circles.

Soonyoung laughed pretty hard at your noises of surprise - overwhelming his instincts with love and guilt, folding his ears back to pull you into a solid hug. He dabbed at his eyes and coughed slightly, stomach aching in simultaneous pride.

“You shit! You scared the hell out of me!” Your protests and whine fizzled out into laughter as he nuzzled your face with flushed cheeks.

“Whatever, you totally got me… Nerd.” You laughed, pulling away to brandish the two ice lollies with a roll to your eyes.

“Thanks, cutie. And sorry - I couldn’t help it. Instincts and all.” Soonyoung shrugged with a canine-pierced smile.

Rolling your eyes with a smile pressing to your cheeks, you passed them to his awaiting hands, skipping past.

“Pick a film babe! And don’t fall asleep by the time I’ve finished this call! Laura will have questions, and I have hella excuses to make ~!”

Soonyoung giggled. You still ran so awkwardly, it was adorable. All wobbly like a baby giraffe.

~~~••••~~~~~☆☆☆~~~~~••••~~~

By the time you had finished the call, wandering back into the lounge.

Hoshi had fallen fast asleep.

His frame was highlighted by the gradually setting sun, warm orange hues melding his bright tail fur to the creme sofa and throw - black ears flicking as you neared the sofa on tiptoes.

Gently placing the lollies in his lap into the bin, you returned to awe over the tired sun-flushed boy. What a handsome soul to live and grow beside. To learn from each other.

“I knew you’d fall asleep, Soonie ~” You whispered with a loving sigh, carefully climbing into the blanket to press against his side.

Soonyoung stirred in his sleep, ears folded and eyes if only a little crossed. 

“hmm?” He grunted, brows pulled into a frown.

“Nothing, go back to sleep.” Placing a kiss against his cheek you allowed him to flop sideways into you, curling against you like a huge feline.

Well, that's exactly what he was. His face nuzzled into your neck before settling. The heat must have gotten to him.

Ah - he must have left the tv on for you.

You sneakily snatched the remote from his deadweight hands, moving to sit against the edge of the sofa (the arm).

Soonyoung frowned, ears flat and tail flicking out of sight as he fully awoke to your movements.

In his semi-conscious state, he let out a yawn backfired by the crackle of a feline vocalisation, before turning to you.

To your surprise, he tackles you head on. And with a disgusting amount of ease.

Patiently pushing and prodding your back against the arm of the sofa, legs stretched wide.

Only this time, his head was very much on your chest and his cheeks were very much squished against your collarbone.

“Stop moving. You’re comfy.” He chuffed weakly against your skin.

 grew weaker the more he slept back into sleep.

his tail lazily lapped against the blanket until it broke free - to rest on, and curl over, your calf.

“You’re not exactly *light* Soon.”

Laughing to yourself softly, and finally freeing a leg to get comfortable, you reached to calm him - His persistent nuzzling letting you know he couldn’t sleep yet.

As he hugged your ribs beneath him, your fingers massaged the day's strain away from the base of his ears was like heaven.

And he showed his appreciation by a deep shiver, something close to a mewl, followed by deeper and more consistent chuffs.

But still, he couldn’t fall asleep.

"Safe?” He muttered softly.

You almost didn’t catch it. but nodded. instead, running your fingers through his short hair and over his scalp.

“I’m safe with you, always, Soonyoung. You can sleep.”

He smiled against your skin; turning his face to hide his ears; only it always crept up to the tip of his ears.

He caught your hand, bringing it down to nuzzle against and scent for comfort, before holding it to his lips for a delicate kiss.

“Mhmm. safe.”

He quickly fell asleep.

With a loose grasp to your fingers. pressed underneath his chin for security.

Ears twitching against your chin, body resting above your own.

You would spend time wondering what it was he was dreaming about.

But the poor beast had very little going on in that magnificent brain of his.

A lot like his best friends -

Retriever hybrid Dokyeom, and bear hybrid Seungkwan.

But god did you love him -

Such a beautiful idiot.

- love liv
