Valentine's day.
You were sitting in your bed typing away at your computer trying to finish this project your boss had you on. You were at home alone, your dad out on a date with his girlfriend who he has yet to mention to you. His date was last minute, meaning you didn't really have time to plan anything with Joel, leaving you alone on Valentine's day.
You finished typing the last sentence and closed your laptop, sliding down on your bed groaning at the 5 hour project you had just finished. The front doorbell went off making you jump. You slipped on a pair of sweats and walked down to opened the door only to see Joel with a bouquet of roses in his hands.
“Joel...” you gasped.
“Happy Valentine's Day, darlin’.” He said, smiling and handing you the roses. You grabbed them and walked into the kitchen filling up a vase for the flowers.
“Sorry we couldn't do anything. Dad not being here kinda threw me off.” You said as you sat the roses in the middle of the dining room table.
“Get dressed.” he said handing you a bag from the store.
“What's this?”
“I said get dressed.” He smirked, making you roll your eyes and chuckle. You walked up to your room and pulled out a dress from the bag. It was a short, red sundress with a pair of black heels. You looked at the bottom of the bag and found a new black bralette and panty set. You quickly got dressed and threw your hair up in a bun and walked back down.
“How's the dress?” Joel asked as he wrapped his hands around your waist and pulled you close.
“Fits perfect baby. Thank you.” You smiled.
“C’mon we've got dinner plans.” He said as he grabbed your hand and walked out the door with you.
“Where are we going?” You ask curiously.
“New place in town, heard they got a pretty good chef.” He pulled out a black scarf and wrapped it over your eyes.
“Joel-”
“Trust me darlin’, I got you.” He walked you through what felt like grass as your heels were sinking into the soil. He walked you up 2 steps and stopped. He took off the scarf revealing that you had walked to his back deck. Twinkling lights had been hung up along with floating lanterns scattered in the pool, absolutely taking your breath away.
“Joel…You did all this?”
“Well… Sarah helped. I called her and she just told me what to do.” He grabbed your hand and walked you to a small table that had a white table cloth over it with a bottle of wine on ice. He pulled out your chair and helped you sit down.
“Smells amazing...” you said, looking over at him smiling.
“When you uncover it you can't get mad.” he said nervously. You raised an eyebrow and uncovered the plate in front of you. A burger and fries from your favorite burger place. You couldn't help but smile.
“I'm not gonna look pretty eating this.” You said, making him chuckle. You picked up the burger and started eating.
“I was gonna cook-” he said as he bit into his burger. “I tried followin’ what the lady in the video was saying but it was like she was speaking a different language or somethin’ cause I couldn't figure out what she was saying.” He said, making you laugh.
“What happened to what you cooked?”
“Almost blew up my damn house. Had to throw away the pan I was cooking in.” He chuckled.
***
After you finished eating, you helped him clean up. You went to put the wine in the fridge when you saw a small tray of strawberries and a can of whipped cream making your mind think dirty things.
“What's for dessert?” You asked, pretending like you didn't see anything.
“Did you wear everything I packed you?” he asked. You gave him a nod and with that you were being pulled up and sat on the island. He walked over to the fridge and pulled out the strawberries and whipped cream.
“And what are your plans with those?” You smirk at him.
“Thought we could have some fun feeding each other… and,” he shakes the whipped cream. “Well I’m sure you can figure this one out.” He winks.
You nod and blush a little, knowing what he wants to do with you.
He opens the box of chocolate covered strawberries and pulls one out.
The tops with the leaves had been removed and the entire thing was covered in chocolate which you knew would make things a little messier.
He brings the treat to your lips and you look him in the eye, seductively taking a bite of it.
You smiled at him as you chewed and swallowed. He watched your lips wrap around the strawberry before taking another bite, your lips touching his fingers softly.
He made a sound in his throat, swallowing thickly. He fed you the last bite and you noticed he had chocolate on two of his fingers and his thumb. You swallow the last bite of strawberry before leaning forward and taking his middle fingertip into your mouth.
“Fuck…” Joel curses.
He moves to stand between your legs that are dangling off the kitchen island, gesturing to the box of strawberries.
“Your turn.” You smile after licking his fingers clean. You pick up a strawberry between your thumb and forefinger before bringing it up to his mouth.
He takes a bite and a little juice dribbles down his chin. You quickly lean forward and swirl your tongue over his chin and up to his lips before kissing him.
He kisses back hard, hands squeezing your inner thighs. He pulls back just enough to speak, “We should take that dress off… don’t wanna get it stained.”
“You’re right.” You laugh a little and he pushes his hands up under your dress, pushing it up and helping you shimmy it over your hips. He finally pulls it off of you and you move to feed him another bite of the sweet fruit in your hand.
He makes it a big bite, eating the rest of the strawberry. You grab the whipped cream and shake it, holding it above his mouth. He tilts his head back and drops his jaw, letting you squirt the whipped topping onto his tongue.
He swallows and licks his lips, hands now on your waist. He was tickling your sides without knowing it and you stifled a giggle.
“Keep your mouth open.” You smile and put whipped cream along his bottom lip. You then lean forward and lick across his lip before sucking it into your mouth and biting down softly.
He groans in his throat, hips pushing forward. You could feel him hard against your thigh through his pants as you kissed him again.
He’s almost panting now, hands moving from your waist, down over your hips, to your thighs to push them open further. He pulls you forward on the counter enough that he can press his clothed member against your pussy through your panties.
“Joel…” you whine.
“We aren’t done yet.” He grins and picks up another strawberry. He brings it up to your mouth and you take a bite, juice dripping down your chin and onto your chest. You chewed and Joel moved down to lick the juice off your cleavage, making you shiver.
He feeds you the rest of the strawberry before pushing you to lay back on the island. He moves to the side of it for better access to your whole body, putting a stripe of whipped cream above your belly button. He leans down and licks across the strip of skin covered in the sweet topping.
“Shit…” you moan and run your fingers through his hair.
He looks up at you as he kitten licks at your tummy, getting the stickiness off of it. He moves back around the island to get between your legs, putting little dollops of whipped cream from each of your knees up to the apex of your thighs, just centimeters away from the edge of your panties.
Joel looks at you with dark eyes and a devilish grin as he leans down and sucks the whipped cream from your left leg, closest to your knee. Then the right leg in the same spot. He switches sides, inching closer to your cunt each time until he finally presses his tongue flat against your slit through the fabric of your underwear.
“Please!” You cry out, thighs twitching.
He breathes in through his nose to smell your scent as he hooks a finger in each side of your panties and pulls them down and off your legs. He kneels down and kisses your clit, making chills go through you.
You tangle the fingers of both hands in his curly, graying hair, tugging lightly. His tongue slips into your entrance, nose pressed against your clit as he begins to eat you out.
Your back arches each time his nose nudges your bundle of nerves and his tongue pushes into you.
He sucks your clit into his mouth for a few seconds, letting it out with a small *pop*. “Taste even sweeter than those strawberries.” He laughs.
You smile, grip his hair and push his head closer so his face is in your pussy again, praising it, tasting it.
He swirls his tongue around your clit and you gasp. “Please- I need you, daddy.” You whisper.
“Wanna make you cum first-“
“No- I…” you take a deep breath. “I need your cock so fucking bad, Joel.”
He snickers and stands up, unbuckling his belt and undoing his pants. He pulls out his cock, hard and leaking precum.
You look down and smile and he grabs your legs, putting your ankles on his shoulders. With one hand, he takes himself and lines up with your entrance. The head of his cock is throbbing already and you know neither of you are going to last long.
He pushes into you, both of you groaning at the feeling. “Yeah… oh fuck, baby.” He tilts his head back and closes his eyes until he’s all the way inside you.
You clench around him and he gets the hint, starting to thrust in and out of you. He starts a little slow, but the more you whine the faster he goes.
“Fuck- fuck me, daddy!” You cry out, feeling your orgasm getting closer with every graze of your g-spot.
He growls and holds your hips firmly, pounding into you as fast as he could manage without dislocating something.
He reaches down and starts rubbing circles against your clit. “Want you to cum so hard on my cock, honey…”
“Yes-! Oh, fuck, I’m gonna cum.” You gasp and feel your legs start to shake, glad that Joel was holding them up on his shoulders.
“That’s it… cum for daddy… good girl.” He breathes the command and it’s enough to push you over the edge.
Your walls flutter around him and he lets out an obscene moan, releasing inside of you just a moment later.
His hips stutter as he cums, eyes locked with yours.
When you’re both getting too sensitive, he pulls out and watches his seed leak from your hole. He dips two fingers into it as you sit up.
He brings the digits to your lips and you open up, sucking his fingers clean once again tonight.
“Let’s go to bed, sweetheart.” Joel smiles and helps you hop down from the counter.
You leave a mess in the kitchen to clean in the morning, following Joel up to his room. You both finish undressing and crawl into bed. Joel holds you tight against his chest. “Love you, Y/n. Happy Valentine’s.”
You smile and kiss his jaw. “You too, baby. Love you.”
***
The next morning you woke up and rolled over to see Joel’s bare back. You placed a small kiss on his shoulder blade and slipped out of bed. You looked outside of his bedroom window to see your dad was pulling into the driveway.
“Shit…” you went down to the kitchen and slipped on your dress, grabbing your things. You felt your phone ring, the screen lighting up with your dad’s name.
“Hello?” You answered.
“Y/N, where are you??” He said, worried.
“I, umm, went out on a date with my boyfriend and I lost track of time and fell asleep at his house…”
“Y/N… gave me a damn heart attack, girl. I come home and your car is in the driveway and I find the front door unlocked and roses on the table-”
“I know, dad I’m sorry, I left in a rush and I thought I locked the door behind me.”
“Get home soon please. We need to talk.” With that he hung up. You leaned back on the counter of the kitchen trying really hard not to freak out. What did he wanna talk about? Did someone find you and Joel out in public and then proceed to tell your dad?
You pulled yourself out of your thoughts and wrote a quick note, placing it on the kitchen island. You walked out and walked over to your house.
“Dad?” You said walking in to find your dad sitting at the table, staring at the roses.
“Must be a rich guy… These roses go for a pretty penny…” he said as he took a sip of the amber liquid in the glass in front of him. It was only 8:30 in the morning and he was drinking. Something's gotta be going on.
“Dad, what’s wrong?”
He looked over at you and sighed. “I was seeing this woman… Didn’t wanna tell you anything ‘cause I didn’t wanna worry you… My business trip, I was with her in Hawaii, and last night I was at her house.”
“Okay… Then why do you look sad?”
“I went over to her house just to leave her roses for Valentine’s day last night and I found her in bed with another guy…”
“Dad…”
“I didn’t wanna tell you, but… I fell hard for her. And we tell each other everything so..”
Well… almost everything.
“What about you? What did you do last night?”
“Oh, umm… He picked me up, got me this new dress, and the roses, then we went to his place and he made dinner.”
“What else did you do?” Your dad asked, making your face turn red.
“Dad, I don’t think you want details…” you muttered, making him laugh.
“No, sorry, you’re right. He good to you?”
“Yeah dad… he’s amazing…”
“Good. You’d tell me if he did anything to you right?”
“Dad… If I did, you’d become a felon.” You said, making him chuckle. He got up from the table and pulled you into a hug.
“I know... Just don’t wanna see you get hurt.”
“Thanks, dad.” You said, looking up at him.
“You’re my only kid. You’re all I’ve got.” He said, giving you a sad smile.
“Hey… how would you feel about maybe inviting your guy friends over tonight for poker? I know making them all lose makes you happy.” You said, making him laugh.
“That sounds great.”
“Okay, you go clean yourself up and I’ll get everything ready and invite everyone.” You smiled and walked up to your room. You quickly showered and got redressed. You grabbed your phone and purse and walked out the door and sped off. You grabbed your phone and called Joel.
“Hello?”
“Hi baby.” You said, smiling.
“Hey darlin’, where’d ya go?”
“My dad got home earlier than I thought… Look, I need a favor. I need you to call all of dad’s friends and tell them to come over tonight.”
“Why whats going on?”
“Went over to his girlfriend’s house and found her fucking some other guy. When I went home he was sitting at the table already half a bottle of whiskey down at 8:30 in the morning. He needs to be around his guys… Please, baby?”
“Of course, darlin’... I’ll call everyone right now.”
“Sounds good, I’m going to the store right now and getting snacks and stuff.”
“Better not wear anythin’ too revealing.”
“Gotta give you something to look at, baby.” You said, giggling.
“Ohh... so you want me to fuck you on the table in front of everyone, huh?” He said, chuckling.
“Not exactly, but… it would be nice to brag about me to your friends. Might slip something in the pocket of your jeans when you get there.”
“You’re a filthy lil thing aren’t you?” He growls a little.
“Baby, you should know the answer to that by now.”
**
You were in the kitchen making sure everything was perfect when Joel walked in.
“Hi, baby.” You said and pecked his cheek.
“Nice dress...” he said, looking you up and down.
“Gotta give you something to look at.” You said, giving him a wink.
“Y/N, I told you it's not a big deal...” your dad said as he walked into the kitchen.
“Dad, shut up.” You said, making him and Joel chuckle.
The house started to fill up with all of your dad’s poker buddies. They all sat at the table as you started to hand everyone a drink.
“Daughter of yours is too good.” One of his friends, Luke, said.
“Yeah.. she's a peach.” Your dad said, giving you a smile. You smiled back and walked into the kitchen.
The game had started making all the men start chatting and laughing. You walked out of the kitchen with another round when you overheard one of the guys talking to Joel.
“Joel, when are we meeting this girl of yours?” He asked.
“Oh, uh... she's pretty busy.”
“Oh c’mon Joel. You always say that. What's the secret? What's really going on?” His friend egged on. “Charlie, do you know anythin’?” He said, looking over at your dad
“Only thing I know is that she's young.” Your dad said.
“How young?” The men asked in unison.
Joel grabbed his beer bottle and put it up to his lips, “She's 25...” he muttered before taking a sip.
“25??” They retorted.
“Little young don't you think, pal?” One of the guys asked.
“Age doesn't really bother us. She's amazing. Treats me thousands of times better than Sarah's mother ever fuckin’ did.” Joel said.
“Yeah she's louder than Sarah's mom too. I'll be asleep in the middle of the night and wake up thinking she's gettin’ killed over there.” Your dad said, making you and Joel blush.
“Oh?? Tell us more, Joel.” Luke said, smirking.
“You'd love to know, wouldn't you?” He said, making everyone nod their heads. “D’your wives not put out?” He asked, making everyone shake their head no, which made him laugh.
“Our wives also aren't 30 years younger than us.” One friend said, making everyone laugh.
“Out of respect for her all I'm gonna say is she is in fact the best I ever had.” Joel said smirking.
You finally walked out into the dining room, trying to avoid eye contact so it's not so obvious you heard everything they just said, and handed everyone a new drink. Everyone muttered a thank you to you as they were back focused on the cards in their hands.
“Losin’ any money, dad?” You ask.
“Not at all.” He smirked, making his friends laugh.
You walked over to Joel and set a fresh beer in front of him. He looked over the cards and glanced at everyone around the table. He slid his hand under your dress and ran his fingers over the lace that hugged your cheeks. You didn't wanna walk away. You missed his touch and the way he was touching you right now in front of all his friends just turned you on even more.
“Y/N better not be helpin’ Joel out.” Luke said, making Joel pull his hand away.
“Ain't no helpin’ his hand.” You said, making Joel scoff.
“Kinda hard to focus when I got a pretty girl next to me…” Joel said, a little shy.
“Why thank you, Joel, but I don't think my prettiness is why you suck.” You said, making everyone laugh.
“Pull up a chair and join us.” Your dad offered.
“As much as I'd love to, I don't want a house of blubbering men when I take all your money.” You teased and the men laughed. “But I'd love to watch.” You pulled up a chair and sat next to Joel. He slipped his hand up your dress again and felt lace hug the front of your thighs making him smirk. Lace boyshorts were his absolute favorite. He loved the way the lace hugged your big ass and when you turned around he melts when he sees the lace hugging your thick thighs.
Your dad laid down his cards on the table making everyone scoff and toss their cards down.
“Damnit…” Joel muttered.
“That girl of yours fuck the poker skill out of you Joel?” Your dad said, making everyone chuckle.
“Ha, ha, ha. Very fuckin’ funny.” He said, rolling his eyes. “Need a cigarette.”
“Might join you.” You said as you got up and walked out back with him. You lit a cigarette and placed it in between your lips.
“Ain't got my shit together tonight...” Joel sighed.
“Aww, baby, it's okay I'll make it up to you tonight, yeah? After all, I am the best you ever had.” You said, making him snort a laugh.
“You are… and ya fucked the poker skill out of me.” He said, giving you a wink.
The back door slid open making you and Joel look over to see Luke.
“Hey, Luke.” You said, smiling.
He lit a cigarette and blew out smoke. “Better be careful.”
“What?” You asked, confused.
“Your dad may be oblivious to it but you two make it more noticeable than a couple’a horny teenagers.” You felt your face go pale.
“Luke-” Joel starts.
“I'm not gonna say anythin’. But... when your dad finds out it's not gonna be good.” He put out his cigarette and walked back in, leaving you and Joel alone.
***
After everyone left, you cleaned up the kitchen and walked into the living room to find your dad on the couch.
“Hey sweetie?” He said.
“Yeah?” You look at him.
“Thank you. For everything tonight.”
“Dad… you know I had to cheer you up. It’s the nice thing to do.”
“I know.. Don't know where you got your kindness from, your mother was far from kind.” He said, making you giggle quietly. .
“Must be from you. You care a lot.” You smile.
“Got to.” He said, smiling. “Gonna go to bed… got work in the morning.”
“Okay dad. Love you.”
“Love you too.”
You waited for your dad to be sound asleep and then you walked over to Joel's. You found him sitting on the deck outside, laying on a pool chair.
“Hey, baby.” You said, making him sit up.
“Let's just tell him.” Joel blurted out.
“No, Joel, we can't…”
“Why not?” He asks, frustrated.
“Because-”
“Is it my age? Does that bother you?” He blurts out.
“No, it's the fact that you're his best friend and if he finds out he's going to fucking hurt you and I can't see you hurt, baby.”
He grabbed your hand and pulled you into his lap. “Saw what he did to the guy he found with your mother…”
“Thought my mom just left?”
“Nah.. he was gone for work, helpin’ me make my new signs, and when we got home he found her on the couch with his old best friend. Picked him up by the skin of his neck and damn near beat the brains out of him. Your mother called the police and had him locked in jail for the night…”
“Oh my god…Where was I?”
“At my house with Sarah and one of her older cousins. It was some sleepover. Thinkin’ you two were only 8 at the time.”
“Yeah… I rememeber my mom told me to walk myself over here and I never saw her again…”
“Next day she packed her stuff and went off with the guy she was with.”
“Fucking kidding me?? You're the one crying when you cheated on me??” Your dad yelled out.
“I'm not doing this anymore.” Your mother snapped.
“Just gonna leave Y/N???” He yelled out.
“I didn't want her! You were the one that insisted we get married when I found out I was pregnant! I didn't want ANY of this!!”
You felt tears fill your eyes as you remember the events from the day after that night.
“She didn't want me…” you sniffle.
“Darlin…” Joel rubs your back.
“I remember we had the window open and I heard the both of them yelling. I always thought it was just a dream…” you felt tears slip, making you look over at Joel. “I love you so much, Joel… If we tell my dad he's going to hurt you and I can't stand to see you get hurt...”
“I know, darlin’… we don't have to now but I think it's better we tell him before he finds out himself…”
“Yeah…” you agree.
“Go get some rest, hon… See you in the mornin’?” He asks.
“Always.” You gave him a kiss and walked back home.
The next morning you were making breakfast for your dad and Joel. Your dad was sitting at the table when the front doorbell went off.
“I got it, dad.” You said as you walked over and opened the door expecting Joel but you found someone you'd never thought you'd see ever again.
“M-Mom..?”
“Hi, sweetheart.” She said, smiling. You froze and just stared at her. She looked just like you. Same color hair, same color eyes and same facial features.
“Y/N who is it?” Your dad asked as he walked over. “What the fuck...”

Till it's all over, I will know you
Jill Roberts knows the Carpenters. Everybody does. And she's met the girls more than a few times over the years, although rarely interacted with them. Kirby's parents used to babysit them after all, and Jill always preferred to be at Kirby's than at home where her mother would go on and on about her cousin, she-who-must-not-be-named. Eugh.
So, Jill knows Sam Carpenter, the devoted sister (and recent troublemaker), and she knows Tara Carpenter, the sweetest most adorable little girl in the world - thank you Kirby. (For the listeners at home, Jill Roberts is rolling her eyes). But she doesn't know them, and she had no intention of knowing them. But life doesn't really care for what you have planned sometimes.
Jill has a bad day, so she does what she always does when she has a bad day, she goes round to Kirby's. Only to find Kirby's not alone. Kirby's out back smoking with her pet project.
After a failed attempt to get Kirby to heel, Jill stomps back inside and throws herself onto the couch. It's not until afterwards that she realises the little sister is here too, curled up at the edge and looking morose, a discarded book beside her.
"Oh great, you're here too," Jill mutters sourly.
The girl lets out a quiet sorry. She doesn't move, arms wrapped around her legs and chin resting upon her knees, eyes staring at the blank television screen.
Now that she knows the girl is here, Jill finds herself feeling awkward. She doesn't know how to act around kids, and quite frankly she's not really in the mood, but she knows she's got to be nice to the girl or she'll never hear the end of it. Jill knows how to play nice; she's been doing it her whole life.
"Sooooo.... guess we've both been abandoned, huh?"
Silence is her only response.
Seriously? Jill's trying her best and the girl doesn't even have the decency to respond.
"Jeez kid, what's up with you."
Jill’s mostly uninterested, but she is bored and they're stuck here together for the foreseeable future – until their other halves remember they exist – so she nudges her with her elbow. Eventually the girl mumbles nothing under her breath.
The tone piques her interest. It's bitter. Angry. Familiar.
What’s this kid got to be furious at the world about? At least Jill has real reasons. I mean, so her dad walked out, big whoop. Do you see Jill with a father? No, he disappears back in ’96 after mom refuses to skip town ‘cause of all the murders. At least she got those years with hers. Mom’s a drunk? Join the club kid!
She huffs and spins the hefty yellow and black book between them around. So you want to be an actor?
Huh. Not really what she’d been expecting. Well, she’s not sure what she was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that.
“This for school or something?” Jill questions before she can think twice. She picks up the book and flips through the pages.
It gets Tara’s attention. “No,” she murmurs quietly.
Jill watches her, brow twitching. She doesn’t remember the kid ever being so shy and subdued.
“You… want to be an actress then?”
Tara nods, and all Jill can think about is how ridiculous it sounds. But more importantly, it gives her something to talk about.
“I want to be an actress too.”
The kid’s eyes light up in an instant, arms leaning forward and body unwrapping itself. She finally comes to life.
Jill doesn’t care about the girl, but the way she triggered the change certainly stirs something within her. There’s that sense of power, of control, of knowing with just a few words you can change someone’s world. For the better, or for the worse.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I’m going to be big and famous, a movie star. I want everyone to know my name.”
She doesn’t know why she’s telling her this. There’s only one other person in the world who knows about Jill’s dream.
“That’s cool,” the girl says, sending her a small smile. “I bet you could do it! You’re super pretty and awesome and you look like a movie star!”
Jill smirks, brushing her hair behind her ear, pleased. “Thank you.”
“I just want to look after Sam… and my mom,” Tara says, smile fading. “Actors make a lot of money, right?”
Jill hums, filing the information away. “They can, if they’re good. I certainly intend to. I going to do better than my cousin in every way. Be more successful, more famous… more loved.”
"Who's your cousin?" Tara asks innocently, unaware of the minefield she's just stepped herself in.
Jill finds herself clenching her jaw. "Seriously? You don't know? Everybody knows," she scoffs. God she hates people.
But the girl just shakes her head, looking up at her, waiting.
Shit, she really doesn't know?
Jill ponders for a moment. She could just brush it off, say nobody important, but something inside her is curious. How could someone live in Woodsboro and not know about Jill's famous cousin?
"Sidney Prescott." It's hard to say her name with anything other than venom, but Jill thinks she manages it. A worthy act for a future star.
The girl blinks up at her, no recognition behind her eyes. "I don't know who that is," she mumbles, mostly to herself, Jill thinks.
Huh. Interesting.
Before Jill can question Tara, the snick of the sliding glass doors disrupts them, and a foul odour permeates the room. She rolls her eyes at the dopey grins the two losers wear as they stumble in.
"Well look who finally decides to show up," Jill sneers, leaning an arm over the couch. "Did you finally remember the child you abandoned or did you just run out of product like the degenerates you are."
Tara frowns at her, and for a moment Jill thinks she's going to interject, but the girl deflates and looks away. Jill's oddly disappointed.
Sam's frowning at her too, though it's not very intimidating given the way her eyes can't seem to focus. It's funny, it's not immediately obvious that the girls are sisters, until they emote. They have the same expression, the same tilt to their head, the same downward twitch to their lips.
"Jeez Roberts, take that stick out your ass why don't you. Tara's cool, aren't you Tar?"
God shut up Kirby. She's so irresponsible sometimes. What does she see in her?
Tara smiles up at Kirby with the fakest-
"See! She's all good."
You've got to be kidding me. That was convincing? Maybe the kid's got talent after all.
From the corner of her vision, Jill sees the way Sam’s eyes narrow.
“What were you doing?” She asks, clearly suspicious.
The audacity. Jill doesn’t know what exactly Samantha thinks she has to be suspicious about when all she was doing is what they should have been doing, and babysitting her little sister. And she’s about to tell Sam where she can shove her question when Tara answers for her.
“Jill was telling me about her cousin.”
Kirby has the unfortunate pleasure of knowing Jill, so the baffled look she sends her way is unfortunately warranted, and she knows Kirby’s going to be demanding answers later. How bothersome.
Sam, however, makes an incredibly speedy trip around the couch – given her condition – to kneel at Tara’s feet and grab at her shoulders.
Jill’s fascinated by the look in the teenager’s eyes, intense and dark. The strain and barely held-back panic in Sam’s voice only makes her more curious.
“What did she tell you?”
Despite the way her sister’s fingers dig into her shoulders with so much force they turn white, or the sharp way she speaks to her, Tara doesn’t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. Well, she doesn’t react.
Jill’s always been observant, she prides herself on it. It’s how she stays on top of the social hierarchy. So it doesn’t escape her notice how Tara rests a hand on the back of Sam’s, how she stares back with soft eyes, how her words are spoken back in a sickly sweet tone, so innocuous it can’t be anything other than fake.
“Just that her cousin Sidney’s famous.”
It all feels so practised. And it works. Sam’s shoulders relax and she leans back on her heels.
Jill probably shouldn’t… but she just can’t help herself.
“I’m surprised she’s never heard of her, she might be the only person in Woodsboro who hasn’t. Why is that?”
Her innocent act doesn’t match up to Tara’s apparently, as Sam turns to scowl at Jill, a warning in her eyes and in her growl. “Tara’s eight. She doesn’t need to know about any of that crap, so shut your mouth and stay away from her.”
“Sam, you’re being rude.”
It takes Jill a lot of effort not to release the laughter that bubbles in her chest at the wide-eyed and confused way Sam turns and blinks at her sister as the young girl scolds her.
“I’m not- whatever,” Sam huffs, standing up. “It’s time to go.”
Jill watches intently as Sam grabs Tara and lifts her into her arms, as if she were a toddler and not eight, as Sam was so adamantly just telling her. There’s something possessive in the way she holds her. It feels pointed, and the way she catches Sam glancing at her as Jill hands Tara her book back tells her who this display is all for.
There’s something weird about the Carpenter sisters, something… not right. She can’t help but get one last word in as they go to leave.
“Have a good night, don’t let the Ghostface bite.”
She smirks as Sam freezes and her head twitches slightly to the side. Jill finds herself hoping she turns around and confronts her. It’s so very entertaining and she finds she wants to know, to understand, to find out what it is Samantha’s hiding.
Unfortunately, the day continues to be full of disappointments, and Sam continues walking.
Tara sends her a shy wave over her shoulder, which Jill reciprocates, flashing her a winning Jill Roberts smile.
The moment’s ruined by Kirby throwing herself onto the couch, her head slapping into Jill’s lap.
“Soooooo…” she crows, “what was thaaat about?”
Eugh.
- - -
“So what exactly was the deal with you dumping the kid in here, that’s not really like you.”
“Sam didn’t expect to have her today, she was supposed to go over to her best friends after school, but apparently they had a fight. Shortstack even punched her! Ha, didn’t know she had it in her.”
“She doesn’t seem the type.”
“Eh, that Freeman kid is a little bitch, I’m not surprised.”
“So what was the fight about?”
“Why so curious Roberts? Getting broody?”
“Eugh, shut up Reed, you’re the worst sometimes.”

If any of this warnings trigger you please don’t read.
A/N: This took sooooo long but hey, Billy is pervy in this one so, I’m not that sorry. By the way, if you want to be tagged in this story let me know! Love u for reading this sorry I didn’t proof read bye💕
&
There is pomegranate juice dripping down your chin and Billy is thinking of ending his life.
Your sight is glued to an old paperback he stole from your Brooklyn apartment and your legs are glowing under the sun as you carelessly eat the fruit he offered you a second ago, laying on your belly on the beach chair.
You declined a drink from the quaint restaurant near the shore, claiming your head hurt a little and he accepted it.
Of course it hurt, you were cloroformed for days, he was surprised you didn’t feel worse.
The obscene sound your lips made when you cleaned the juices of the fruit by licking you fingers made him reminisce of the last few days.
How he carried you out of your apartment complex, your body limp and your lips parted but his hand firm on your ass.
When he put you in the back of his van that he already had filled with a mattress and lots of fluffy blanket so you’d be comfortable on the way to the private airport but ignoring the way your tits spilled from the light dress he had put you on.
Glancing at the rear view mirror every chance he could to admire your rack.
How he felt smoke coming out of his ears when the pilot he bribed eyed your thighs when he carried you to board the plane.
He held you the entire flight, holding you close on the wide leather seats of the private plane, making sure you were warm enough.
If you ever asked, he wouldn’t deny he got a little handsy under the blankets of the plane, with little whimpers coming out of you every time he stimulated a bit too much making his dick hard.
Asking the stewardess to leave you two alone so he could use your hand to touch himself. 
When you finally reached Greece he put you on a car and drove you straight to the house you now shared.
His adrenaline peaked when he put you down onto your bed for the first time.
He didn’t regret taking you but he had to be prepared for how you would react when you finally woke up.
So he took advantage of the time he had.
You wouldn’t mind would you?
Touching you in your sleep he found out you liked your neck kissed and three fingers deep inside you.
Or that’s what if seemed like with the pretty noises you made and the way your cunt tightened in your sleep around his digits.
He thought about taking it further but you woke up sooner than he expected.
Billy had time to think though.
Your new identities were husband and wife, he made sure of it, but the real you he wanted to win with his own merits.
He’d be a good man for you this time and you would love him in no time. A real good man, a gentleman.
But you were making it so hard right now, literally, swinging your legs back and forth making the bright pink dress you wore raise to the beginning of the curve of your ass.
The view of the sea waves crashing on the Santorini shore behind you turned completely dull next to the perfection of your body.
Should he say something? 
You’ve been reading for an hour now and he sat in silence next to you sipping beers under the beach parasol.
What could he say?
I’m so happy we’re here?
Can I put sunblock on you?
Let’s go back home and bang like rabbits?
No, he was supposed to be a gentleman this time.
The ringing of his cellphone was perfectly timed to stop him from saying or doing something stupid as he was just about to reach to your chair and pull the dress a little further up.
You finally looked up from your book, your hair messy from the beach breeze as you looked at him suspiciously.
“I have to take this, be right back.”
His answer was quick and he got up and walked away from her ever faster, giving no room for questions from her because he knew exactly who it was on the line.
He walked towards the restaurant and left though the store front leading him to a cobblestone street, took a deep breath and answered.
“Hi Frankie!”
“Hey! You never told me when you arrived. How is the cold treating you?”
Billy looked around, the sun shining over the bugambilia bushes in every house and the smell of the sea surrounding him.
“I’m okay, wish there wasn’t so much fucking snow though.”
Billy never had any trouble lying, in fact, that’s how he always won in both arguments and business negotiations, but lying to Frank always made him feel a little guilty.
“Well don’t worry about us, I’m holding down the forth for ya while you’re in Prague.”
Franks’s voice was serious, but not upset and he sounded careful. Billy panicked but didn’t let it show. 
He made sure to let the board know he’d be in Prague for a couple months seeing a group of investors, measuring the market in Europe, he had his secretary book everything for him there.
He even gave orders to prepare his private jet while Frank was in his office. There’s no way he suspected him.
“Thanks man, let me know if you need anything or if it starts to feel like too much for you.”
“I’m sure I’ll be fine but there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about.”
“Shoot”
“It’s about the librarian.”
Billy froze for a second before pulling himself together. He had planned this throughly, no one suspected him. 
Not even Frank Castle.
“What about her?”
“She’s missing.” 
“Since when?”
“Couple days.”
“You report her?”
He fakes concern for the protocol of his company but in reality he wants to know about the reaction the people who knew you had.
What did your job say?
What did Gianna know?
Did Henry listen to his threats?
“We tried but the police wouldn’t take it. She left a note in her apartment saying she’d go to California for a while to meet some friends. But according to her friend Gianna she didn’t know anyone down there apart from her ex’s parents, and they know nothing about her.”
Billy bites his lip waiting for the report to continue.
“Anyway, NYPD says the note is proof she went on her own will but her friend insists there’s something slightly off with her handwriting and her cellphone’s been disconnected  too.”
“Slightly off? How so?” 
Damn Gianna Esposito, he thought. He had practiced your handwriting for months, there was no way anyone could tell the difference.
“Something about her not signing her name with a heart or something.”
“Well if I was leaving in a rush I don’t think I’d adorn my signature either.”
Dammit, he forgot the heart. 
“Bill just tell me she’s not with you.”
“What?” His indignation sounded real and he gave himself a pat on the back for it “Why would she be with me?”
“You had a crush on her and you leave and she disappears I-“
“First of all I didn’t have a crush on her.”
I’m actually madly in love with her and I want her to be my wife, is what he wanted to say but couldn’t.
“Second of all, didn’t you tell me she went to find me at the office and I was already gone?”
“Well yeah but-“
“But what? I came back to get her? Or faked my trip to kidnap her?”
Yes, that’s exactly what he did.
“Jesus Frank I don’t even know her!”
Lies.
Liar!
“I’m sorry brother I just thought- you know her friend said something about you leaving with her at the ball and I just thought maybe you ran away together or something.”
“We did an interview for the library gazette at the ball, nothing more. Run away together? What are we teenagers?” 
This call is taking longer than he expected and he wants to go back to the beach to keep an eye on you but he’s sure the phone will capture the sound of the ocean.
“I’m not gonna lie to you I though she was cute and I’d definitely want to sleep with her in the near future but that’s all. I have no idea where she is, for all we know she is in California, give it a few days.”
“Maybe.”
“Did you find any luggage in her apartment?”
“No. Her friend looked for it, she says she does have some bags.”
You do, Billy thinks with a smile. Vintage plaid bags. And of course they didn’t find them, he triple checked he’d gotten rid of them and made it obvious. 
“Then she probably did leave, whatever.”
“Yeah you’re probably right. But if you know anything let me know, I have a very concerned and very mean librarian here almost everyday.”
He can hear Frank apologize and give him a couple more news about some other clients but his head is somewhere else, suddenly remembering all the easter eggs he planted to make your getaway looked realistic.
It had been clean and he was certain.
He finally says his goodbyes and take cares with Frank not forgetting to make a few jokes about him ice skating in his designer suit before hanging up.
As he heads back in the restaurant and to the beach through the back door he reassures himself he had done everything right.
He calculated your every move and staged everything perfectly, Gianna wasn’t a threat to his plan.
All he had to do is make you choose to stay with him forever.
Would you give up everything to stay?
He finally sees you, you’ve changed positions and your sitting with your legs crossed under you on the beach chair. Your face completely hidden by the book and your hat.
You were right where he left you.
He had nothing to worry about.

hiiii!! I just love your ocs and srt sooooo much!! Can you tell somethingbrandom (snz or not) about one of them?? (i want to send an ask of appreciation but idk what to say ;-;)
UGH, you’re so friggen sweet, Anon! You seriously don’t even know how much you totally made my day with this, thank you so much 😭😭
Oh geez, be prepared for my infodump because I literally love my boy Remington so damn much and I have no idea how to just pick one so this may be longer than you were anticipating...
Fun Fact about Mr. Grumps himself, Remi:
His eyes glow with bioluminescence, resulting in a color that resembles the “toxic waste/biohazard” neon green, and are his most expressive feature. The brightness of the light from his eyes fully depends on his mood, as well as his… health/body status, I suppose? When waking up, his eyes take a second to “warm up” and gradually increase in brightness as he wakes up fully. When sick or exhausted, his eyes are very dim, while when angry or excited/extremely happy, they’re so bright they’re almost blinding. When exposed to extreme mental, physical, or emotional trauma that would ordinarily cause irreparable damage his psyche, an otherwise dormant form of a wolf that walks on 2 legs, made of black and green smoke with a face that resembles a skull, called Aavi (‘smoke’ in Inuit) that is pretty much an AutoPilot to protect him from harm. His eyes while Aavi are circular rings that can illuminate 10 feet in front of him in pitch darkness. In canon, due to stress/grief of finding his mate, Levi, dead (or so he thought) from an accidental OD, he completely lost his eyesight, leaving him with cloudy green eyes that glow white instead of neon green. As time passed, he slowly regained his sight after being reunited with his mate which also gradually brought the color back, although bright sunlight or other bright man made lights inside render his eyes useless again. (Which also means his photic sneeze reflex is easily triggered by bright lights c; )

Ehhh...Life Update?
I just now realized I spent my first 4/20 sober. I'm feeling pretty good about it, too. Trying to get my health right. I'm not a stoner anymore.
Went to a nightclub a few weeks ago in an outfit I DIDN'T want to wear because I could not fit into my usual club gear anymore. Plus my hair is so fried and dead from accidental over-bleaching that I could not put it up with ANY of my products. My vision's so poor I cannot do makeup myself. Seeing everyone else out their rocking their attire and being gorgeous crushed me. Boyfriend made a usually-harmless joke (for me): I couldn't see the show and he said "you're not as light as you used to be" implying he wanted to pick me up but couldn't. I snapped and it left me crying the rest of the night at the club...((he apologized out-the-ass. I know he didn't mean to offend.))
I didn't think my dysmorphia would hit me so insanely hard there. That nightclub was my happy place and it never mattered how you looked. Nobody judges you in there. But I wasn't feeling myself in there that night.
But, I've been starting to workout and changed my diet. I stopped smoking dank due to it triggering crippling anxiety after taking a break from it, but struggling to quit vaping atm. I'm hoping it's going to help. Sooooo...wish me luck?
Upgrading from laptop to PC in a few days, so there's that bit of positivity as well. I may begin experimenting with using Krita for art, but it's still waaaaay over my fucking dumb head.

immediately after the fire is extinguished monokuma shows up. he seems very upset at first about his ruined merchandise but then seconds later he makes a joke about how his merch is sooooo wet teehee so i don't think he's actually all that mad. he forbids them from entering the warehouse right away to investigate as it's still full of smoke and "hazardous gas" (poisonous, some might say!). they have to wait until the fumes dissipate. in the meantime we get monokuma theater, even though it's the middle of the day!
rather than paraphrasing this monokuma theater i'd just like to directly quote it, as it's pretty short and i have a feeling i'm gonna want to talk more about this one later. here it is: "everything is a lie. monokuma doesn't exist. the monokuma theater doesn't exist. everything is fiction. there's no meaning whatsoever. there's no relationship whatsoever. everything was made. monokuma can't be found anywhere. what are you doing here anyway?"
once that's over, monokuma says it's probably safe to enter the warehouse now, and also he's starting to feel better about his merch being ruined. he then proceeds to give them a pep talk about the importance of moving forward even in the face of depressing events, which is framed around the issue of his ruined merch but still seems Suspicious. he also lets them know he's turned the warehouse lights back on and they're free to go in, then leaves.
as the others prepare to enter the warehouse, hinata's hit with a strong sense of foreboding, like something terrible is about to happen. i'd like to focus in on his specific phrasing here (in internal narration): he thinks that it's "as if an intense malice is about to stab me... stab me through my whole body." he also thinks "it feels like everything was too late." he's clearly on the verge of a panic attack again here, and is unable to rationalize to himself why he's having these feelings. he is directly on the fucking money though

Hurricane - Randall ‘Pink’ Floyd
Tumblr media
A/N:  I’ve recently re-fallen in love with the beauty of the movie Dazed and Confused, and there’s like literally no work for it so I decided to write my own about one of my favorite characters! It’s a friends-lovers type thing sooooo.... Enjoy ;)
I exited my car and walked towards the school entrance with a little more pep in my step today. Around me, I could hear the chatter and excitement of the kids scattered across the parking lot, a few more days and school would be out. Soon, a lot of them would be seniors, including me. 
As I was walking, I saw Pickford’s bright yellow car pulling in, Pickford and Michelle inside. Thank the lord! I smiled as he sped into the parking lot, walking over to the car and leaning against the window. 
“Ahhhh, Pickford! Just the man I wanted to see on this fine morning!” I said dramatically, smiling at him. He rolled his eyes putting the car into park. 
“Hey Michelle!” I said to her as Pickford turned the car off, looking over to me. She smiled back, laughing at Kevin’s reaction to me. 
“What do ya want now (y/n)?” He said in fake annoyance. 
I nudged him gently, laughing. 
“Light me, I left my lighter at home.” I said, pulling a joint out of my pocket and placing it in between my lips, leaning closer so he could light the end. 
“M’Lady” He laughed dramatically, producing a lighter and sparking the end. 
“Thanks man, you’re the best” You said standing back up right and smiling gratefully, taking a few drags off the thing.
“Yeah yeah, you only want me for my weed and my lighters.” He fake pouted dramatically, earning another giggle from me and Michelle.
“You know you love me!” I exclaimed, reaching in the window and ruffling his hair, much to his annoyance.
“Anyways, I gotta go find some people, I’ll catch you guys later!” I called, backing away and going to find some other friends. 
I took a couple drags off the joint, making my way through the school gates and saying hi to people I knew along the way. Mid laugh (at something someone had said) I felt the joint being pulled out of my mouth. I turned quickly only to see one of my very best friends, Randall Floyd, or Pink as we all call him. I smiled at the sight of my joint hanging out of his mouth, a smirk on his lips. 
“And what do you think you’re doing Mister? I chuckled, crossing my arms and giving him a look. 
“Well, you know what they say (y/n), sharing is caring.” He said jokingly, taking a big hit off of it. 
“Heyyyy!” I exclaimed, laughing and reaching for it. 
“Don’t smoke it all! I barely got a few hits in.” I pouted as he pulled it from my reach. He laughed and threw his arm around my shoulders, pulling me in and passing the joint back to me. 
“Fine, I’ll give it back Mrs. Grouch” He said, earning a nudge in the side from me.
‘You’re lucky I love you” I grumbled out, looking at him. He laughed. keeping his arm around my shoulder and walking towards the doors to the school. 
“So I was wonderin’ if you’re free tonight? Maybe you can drop by mine later tonight? I’ve got some new records to listen to and a sixer just begging for us to drink it.’ Pink said, as if he’d really have to coax me into coming over. I laughed at his ‘puppy dog eyes’ all the same.
“What, no plans with the leech tonight?” I joked around, referring to his ever annoying girlfriend. 
“Nahh, needed a break for one night” He said dismissively, earning a laugh from me.
“Alright, It sounds like a plan! Be there at 6?” I confirmed, stopping as we heard someone call Pink’s name. He waved to them to hold on before finally removing his arm from my shoulders. 
“Sounds great! Can’t wait.” He confirmed with a smile, turning towards me and stealing the joint again, taking another hit before passing it back to me. 
“See you then.” I called to him as he walked backwards, shooting finger guns my way and nearly tripping on his own feet. I laughed at how dorky he really could be at times. 
I took the last drag before putting the joint out and walking into the building, nearly running straight into Slater.  
“Slater! My man! How’s it going?” I said to him, doing the funky little hand shake we made up a few years back. 
“Good, man! Hey! I got that stuff for you.” He said smiling like a maniac, pulling a little bag out of his pocket and handing it to me. 
“You are the best my dude!” I laughed out, putting the baggie into my bag.
“Anything for you! Hey man, I’ll check ya later!” He said, shooting me finger guns and walking away. I really was friends with a bunch of dorks.
I sighed, continuing my walk to first period, now all I had to do was survive the day.
Later that day 
The final bell rung out, everyone including me rushing to pack their stuff up and get out. As I was walking out of the building I saw Slater, Pickford, and Michelle  hanging out in the parking lot over by Pickford’s car and decided to go say hi real quick. 
“Only a few more days dudes, and then we’re seniors!’ I exclaimed as I walked up to the group. “Hey Michelle, can I bum a cig?” 
She handed me one and lighter. “Thanks.”
“It’s gonna be so weird man, we’re gonna be like so....old” Slater said slowly, laughing after he realized what he said. I laughed too. I handed the lighter back to Michelle and took a drag off the stick.
“All I know is, we’ll be the top of the food chain, and i’m gonna throw a fat party to celebrate!” Pickford laughed, lighting up a joint of his own. 
As I was about to reply, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, lifting me up slightly before setting me back down. I let out a little shout, startled, holding my cigarette out to avoid burning whoever the culprit was. 
“Floyd! I swear to god I’ll kill you!” I said knowing it could be no one else.
“Oooooo, she used your last name. You’re in trouble, man!” Slater called out, laughing as Pink placed me down again and moved to my side, throwing an arm over my shoulder, as he usually did.
“Awe, look at the two love birds who won’t admit they’re lovebirds!” Pickford said mockingly, faking a gag at the end. 
“Oh shove it Pickford” Pink said dismissively, waving off the comment.
“Yeah, you wouldn’t want his toy to hear that.” I fake whispered to the group as they laughed along. I was referring to Simone and they all new it. They all new I couldn’t stand her, including Pink, and most of the group felt the same way.
“Alright alright, that’s enough of that.” Pink started, trying to keep the peace as always. 
“Look! It’s my favorite group of little stoners!” A voice called to the left, Donnie joining the small gathering, a chorus of ‘hey Don’s’ and ‘what’s up man’s’ emitting from the group. 
“Hey Don! How ya been? Haven’t seen you in a while.” I said as he reached the circle. 
“Still waiting on your call, baby.” He said winking and flicking his tongue at me. I heard Pink scoff at this from beside me, but I just laughed. Donnie was Donnie after all. 
“In your dreams man.” I replied smoothly. 
“Oh you know it sweatheart! Anyways, I’m here for you Slater. Where’s my drugs?” He called over to the stoner, who was currently passing a joint to Michelle. 
“Follow me, man.” He said with a guilty grin, him and Donnie walking away. 
“Well, as much as I love hanging out with you nerds, I gotta get goin.” I said, moving to walk towards my car. Pink hooked his fingers into the belt loops on the side of my jeans, pulling me back towards him. 
‘We still on for tonight?” He asked.
“Yes, sir!” I said feigning seriousness, fake saluting him. He laughed at this. 
“Alright then. I shall see you tonight.” He smiled, releasing his hold on the belt loops and backing up slightly.
“See you then. Later, guys!” I called over my shoulder and hopping in my car, the radio coming to life at full volume as the car roared to life. 
Today had been a fairly good day but who was I to lie, I was beyond exited for the night to come. I raced home and instantly started getting ready-showering and then getting dressed. I had a little more time to kill before I needed to head over to Pink’s so I took out the new goods from Slater and rolled a few more joints, placing 2 in the “Emergency” supply and packing the rest into my purse before slipping my shoes on and heading out. 
Tumblr media
I eventually pulled up outside Pink’s house, only to see him and Slater talking out by Pink’s car. 
“Getting the party started without me, boys?” I smirked, making my way over to the little group.
“(y/n), man! It feels like it’s been forever since I saw you man.” Slater called, laughing almost nervously. Pink looked over at me as well, shooting me his award winning smile. 
“Slater, I literally saw you a few hours ago” I laughed, pulling him into a hug anyways. 
“My turn!” Pink exclaimed once I’d let go of Slater, holding his arms open wide with a little smile on his face. I rolled my eyes, laughing, but walking into his arms anyways, my heart skipping a beat momentarily. I just chose to ignore that bit. 
“So, what’re you doing here? Not that your company isn’t a pleasure, “ I started, looking at Slater. “but i thought it was just gonna be us tonight?” I finished, looking at Pink. 
“It is, he was just dropping off some supplies” Pink answered devilishly. 
“Yeah, don’t worry (y/n), I’m not here to steal your man time, man” He laughed out, beginning to step away.
“You wish Slater!” I said, blushing slightly. He just shook his head, beginning to walk away. The blush intensified even more when Pink put his arm around my waist, pulling me even closer. He was usually pretty touchy, but it seemed to be amped up even more tonight. 
“Thanks again, man. I’ll see you tomorrow at the Emporium?” Pink called as Slater was walking away. 
“For sure man! Have fun, but not too much fun, man!” He called back, making his way around the corner. 
Pink still hadn’t let go of me so I turned, putting a hand on his chest and laughing at his dopey facial expression. 
“Hmmmmm, seems like someone really did start the party without me” I laughed, pinching his cheek lightly, him swatting my hand away. 
“Ok maybe I smoked a tinyyyy bit, but there’s still plenty to go around” He said smirking and hooking his fingers into the front belt loops of my pants. I looked up at him, suddenly having an overwhelming urge to lean in. I snapped myself out of it though, if any of that was going to be happening tonight I’d have to be a lot more out of it than my current state.
“Well, why are we still out here then? The weed isn’t going to smoke itself!” I chuckled, breaking away from him and making my way into his house, directly to his room. 
I plopped onto his bed, leaning against the headboard as Pink followed me in, closing the door and lighting some incense to mask the smell. As soon as it was good and burning, I pulled out my freshly rolled stash, lighting it and taking a drag as Pink put one of the new records on the player.
Once it was settled, he turned towards me. 
“Hey now! Don’t be greedy” He laughed at me, launching himself on top of me on the bed, opening his mouth for me to place the joint in it. I complied with his wishes, sticking it in his mouth and leaning back with a smile on my face, his body still very much on top of mine. 
Eventually, he moved to a more comfortable position at my side. We listened to the records, back to back, giving our respective opinions on each of the albums, going through about 4 joints and 3 beers each. By the time the last song on the last of his new records rang out, we were fairly buzzed. 
“Well, that’s all of em. Now, what to do, what to do?” Pink stated, looking over to me with an idea in his eyes. 
“Have anything specific in mind?” I asked absentmindedly, more focused on the brightly colored poster on the wall. 
“I have an idea, yeah” He answered vaguely. I giggled lightly at his lack of explanation.
“Are you planning on sharing that idea with me or are you just gonna keep it locked up in that brain of yours?” I questioned teasingly, leaning forward to tap his temple lightly. He swatted my hand away with a laugh. 
“I’ll do better, I’ll show you!” He exclaimed, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the window. I was curious now.
Before I could question his intentions further, he slid the window open and climbed out on to the roof, turning back and reaching his hand in the window, motioning for me to follow. I grabbed his hand and climbed out as well. He began walking towards the middle of the roof, my hand still clasped tightly in his own.
He sat down finally, pulling my arm along with him. I sat down quietly, leaning against his shoulder lightly. For a few long moments, there was nothing but silence. Pink stared up at the sky, lost in thought. 
“Whatcha thinking about?” I asked quietly, poking his side gently. 
“I don’t love her.” He answered immediately. 
“What?” I replied, taken aback by the question. 
“Simone. I don’t love her, I never did. In fact, we’ve been split for months, but she refuses to let me go. I don’t love her because..... well, because I love someone else” He laughed out almost incredulously, like he couldn’t believe what he was saying. Something about that statement sent a ping straight to my heart. 
“Well then, that’s ok! I’m sure this girl likes you back. Who wouldn’t? Don’t worry yourself too-” before I could finish my sentence, his lips were on mine. They moved in sync briefly before he pulled away. 
“It’s you. You are the girl I’m talking about. I think I’ve always known it’s you, I just never realized it.” He let out with no hesitation. As I processed what he was saying to me, my heart was dancing in my chest. This was not how I planned for the night to go, not that I’m complaining at all.
“I don’t think there's any question that I feel the same then?” I asked in a daze, still shocked by the events that had just transpired. Pink chuckled at this, shaking his head and wrapping an arm around me, pulling me closer. 
“No, I don’t think so. Though, I think I should double check, just to make sure.” He stated, a goofy smile finding its way onto his face. At that, he leaned down once more, placing his lips on mine once again.

Masterlist
---
The stars are falling from the sky.
Air rushes back into your lungs in one unpleasant burst, and you choke on the bitter taste of smoke that accompanies each additional heave of your chest. Blinking rapidly, your vision sharpens and you realize that it’s not the stars that are falling, but bits of ash and debris falling through the smoke; it’s not nighttime. You hear nothing but the ringing in your ears, sounds muffled as if underwater. Slowly, painfully, you become aware of the pain radiating through your body stemming from a pressure on your midsection. Carefully turning your head to the side, your eyes find the remains of the small cabin which once held three girls captive. Where are they? Your vision clouds once more, smoke stinging its way down your throat and biting at your eyes, causing you to squeeze them shut. You can hear shouting, and you try to focus on what’s happening around you, but the sounds fade, and you follow.
You’re being pushed—pulled? —and suddenly the pressure on your chest lets up and you gasp, eyes flying open and struggling to focus. A dark head of hair looms above you, grasping your face with both hands. Emily? Her mouth is moving, but your mind isn’t processing sounds yet, and all you can do is let out pained noises that rumble through your throat before spilling out of your lips. Your head rolls to the side as Emily removes her hands from your face and places them on your torso. The small cabin is still on fire, but the flames have lessened. Your attention is drawn back to your own body with the addition of more hands pressing down on you. Morgan’s worried face peers down at you where Emily’s had been as you fully regain consciousness.
“Wha’…?” you manage to choke out before the overwhelming taste of smoke sends you coughing.
“Whoa, Princess, easy,” Derek says, stopping you from moving around as you try and turn to get a better look at your surroundings.
He smooths a hand over your forehead and you feel something smear along the same path his hand drags across. Blood.
“Where…?” your voice is rough, but stronger this time as you desperately hold Morgan’s gaze, trying to get answers.
“There was an explosion,” he says simply, but the furrow in his brow tells you there’s more than just ‘an explosion’ that’s nagging at him.
Emily comes back into view, a hard look on her face as she stares at something in the distance. She quickly glances down at you before speaking rapidly into her comms. You seem to have lost yours in the blast.
“…yeah, Hotch, we found her. She was under some debris from the house, but Morgan and I cleared that pretty fast. She’s still down, but none of her injuries seem to be too serious,” she squints at you to confirm. You nod.
Gently, you feel Derek’s hands pressing around your midsection over your Kevlar vest, and you hiss in pain once he reaches your ribs. With a frown, he pushes just a little harder, which makes you yelp in discomfort and glare at him. So much for not having serious injuries.
“Sorry, Princess, just checking. Seems like you’ve got some bruised ribs, although I’ve got a feeling more than a few of them are broken.”
“Lovely,” you grit out as Prentiss smiles apologetically at you, correcting her assessment over the comms. Sucking in a breath, you tilt your head down towards the rest of your body. “What else, Derek?”
“My guess is also a mild concussion,” to which you grunt in agreement “and a lot of superficial cuts and nicks,” he finishes, gesturing to your upper body and face.
You make a face. “Well, as long as that’s all,” you joke. “Help me up?”
Grasping your forearm with one hand, another on your back, Derek eases you upright until you’re sitting, ribs protesting the entire time.
You open your mouth to ask him more questions, but before you can make a sound Aaron comes flying around the corner of (what used to be) the house, a grim look on his face. Dropping to his knees by your side, he takes one of your hands and leans down to kiss your forehead, lips barely leaving your skin as he takes deep breaths.
“Thought I lost you, Sweetheart,” he whispers.
“Never,” you respond, squeezing his hand in yours.
“How’d you end up all the way over here?” he asks in a soft voice, sitting back to brush hair (and blood) from your hairline.
How did you end up here?
Your brow furrows and you direct your gaze away past Aaron and up towards the darkening sky, the first stars making themselves visible.
“The unsub—” you start.
“Warner. Ted Warner,” Aaron supplies.
“Right, Warner,” you let out a frustrated breath. “And the girls…?”
“Lucy Burnes, Allison Smythe, and Rowan Lucason. All nine years old,” Morgan chimes in.
“Warner was going to release one girl an hour to us as long as we stayed back from the cabin,” Emily says with a shake of her head.
You look back towards the remains of the cabin. So much for that. It’s starting to come back to you now.
Allison, running straight into your arms and you take a step back to absorb her impact on yourself and the Kevlar you’re wearing. You see a curtain twitch through the cabin window as you look over her head. She’s shaking and crying. You slowly move backwards and pass her off to JJ who then walks her over to where the medics are parked.
“We got Allison first,” you say, looking at the team above you for confirmation.
“That’s right, Sweetheart. She ran right to you,” Aaron says with an encouraging smile.
“Rowan was next,” Morgan states, his gaze lands somewhere in the distance. You know he’s reliving it along with you.
Rowan flying out of the cabin as if being chased, lands squarely in Morgan’s chest and he’s quick to wrap her in his arms and start walking towards the medics. You see Allison’s shoulders drop in relief before she pulls the blanket tighter around her shoulders and returns her gaze anxiously back to the house.
“She ran out like she was being chased by something,” you say softly.
“Or she was running to something,” Aaron says, equally as soft.
Safety.
“Then things got complicated,” Prentiss sighs.
Warner emerges, hobbling out of the cabin and dragging Lucy with him. He’s using her as a shield. They move backwards towards the woods as he shouts at everyone to stay back. You’re standing at the edge of the group of agents and officers, and in the fading light of the day, you do something you know you’ll get yelled at for later. Aaron and Rossi are engaging with Warner, trying to make him see reason, and you take your chance to slip off further to the side, easing yourself into the cover of the forest, gun drawn. Staying low, you make your way around the side of the cabin until you’re level with Warner and Lucy, separated only by the length of the small cabin. He’s getting more agitated, yelling and waving one of his arms and—there. A small remote gripped in his hand catches your attention. He raises it above his head, thumb hovering dangerously close to the buttons, and you don’t hesitate to raise your weapon and aim for his head; Lucy’s shorter than him, you’re unlikely to hit her. You pull the trigger as he clamps down on the remote. You watch Lucy twist away as he falls. No more than three seconds later, the cabin explodes. You’re thrown backwards and hit the ground hard.
“Lucy,” you breathe out, frantically looking around. “Where is she? Did she make it?”
Aaron attempts to stop you as you make a move to stand up, but you shoot him a look and he moves to help you with a huff. Supported by Morgan and Aaron, you manage to right yourself. Clenching your eyes shut, you breathe through the pain emanating from your ribcage. Oh yeah, definitely bruised if not broken. Once you’re standing, they don’t let go of you, carefully making sure you don’t collapse to the ground.
“Where is she?” you say impatiently, looking around.
“Safe,” it’s Emily who finally answers your question and you sigh in relief.
“Once she was free of Warner she took off running. She was thrown forward by the explosion, but kept moving,” Aaron says. “Morgan grabbed her and carried her the rest of the way.”
You turn to smile at Derek and he gives you a small one in return.
“And Warner?” you ask turning back to Aaron.
“Dead,” he responds in a curt tone.
You nod to yourself. “So, we got all of them.”
You take a tentative step forward, Aaron and Derek moving with you and you can see Emily in your peripheral vision keeping your slow pace.
“Yeah, Princess, we got them,” Morgan agrees. “But what you did was reckless and stupid,” he finishes.
“But—” you’re cut off by Aaron, who acts like you hadn’t started talking and instead stares straight ahead.
“Reid was the first to notice you were missing,” he says softly, and controlled in a way that relays the amount of emotion he’s holding back. “Once he alerted us, we realized none of us had seen you since Warner left the cabin. The cabin that had just exploded into flames.”
“It wasn’t until Allison mentioned you going into the woods that we put it together,” Emily says, only a tad bit louder than Aaron. “When I found you—” she pauses and sucks in a deep breath before continuing. “When I found you, I thought you were dead. You were half-under a piece of siding from the cabin and I couldn’t tell if you were breathing.”
Aaron’s hand tightens around yours. He didn’t know that.
“God, I’m sorry, Em,” you send her a weak smile.
“But you were breathing,” she says shakily. “You’re still breathing.”
Aaron says nothing, mouth pressed in a thin line, jaw tight.
You make it around the side of the still smoking house, and you’re immediately drawn to the sight of the rest of the team—Rossi, JJ, and Spencer, as they simultaneously take in your appearance with varying levels of relief and anger clouding their faces.
It’s a slow walk the rest of the way, and by the time you reach the medics, you’re gritting your teeth and focusing very hard on controlling your breathing. Gently, Morgan and Aaron deposit you on the back of the ambulance and you’re swarmed by medics in no time. The team gathers just outside the frenzy of activity going on around you, and you catch glimpses of them as you answer questions.
The medics remove your bulletproof vest and yes, your ribs hurt like a bitch. Spencer floats anxiously to Morgan’s side, asking him questions about where you were.
The antiseptic stings where it’s applied to the cuts on your face. JJ and Emily’s heads are close together, with Emily relaying everything to the blonde.
A bright light blinds you as a medic checks out your concussion. Aaron and Dave stand next to each other, arms crossed, silently watching.
Once the medics finish their evaluation, you’re told how lucky you are to only come away with a mild concussion, three broken ribs, the rest bruised, and shallow cuts that don’t (by some miracle) require stitches. Nothing that requires you to be immediately rushed to the hospital, seeing as the medics wrapped your ribs (although there really isn’t anything you can do for them besides try not to aggravate them further), cleaned the cuts (but you know there’s still blood on your face), and advised you to take it easy for the next few weeks (as if Aaron would let you do anything strenuous).
Yeah, you’re very lucky.
Aaron turns to leave once they’re done, moving back towards the three girls who are huddled together. Back to work. Derek and Rossi follow him. JJ and, to your surprise, Spencer give you short hugs before taking off after the boys. Emily shoots you a smile and pulls you to your feet, keeping an arm around your shoulders as the two of you slowly make your way to the rest of the team.
“You didn’t see him when he realized you had run off without anyone noticing,” she says quietly into your ear. “I thought he was going to run into the burning building to try and find you. I haven’t seen him lose his composure like that in the field before.”
Oh, Aaron.
Emily steps away from your side, and Allison gasps when she sees you, all but throwing off her blanket and barreling into you, closely followed by Lucy.
“You’re okay,” Allison whispers into your chest as you try not to give away how much your ribs hurt.
“Yeah,” you say softly, “Thank you for telling them where I went.”
You feel her nod against your chest and she squeezes tighter—ouch—for a second before letting go.
Lucy steps forward, shyly shifting from one foot to another. You give her a small, warm smile and she returns it.
The two girls go back to where Rowan is sitting in the back of an ambulance, and once their attention is sufficiently diverted, you grimace and hold a hand to your ribs. Oh, this is going to suck.
A hand on your back pulls you away from the ache in your torso, and you look up to see Aaron’s concerned face.
“Morgan, JJ, and Prentiss are accompanying the girls to the police station. Dave and Reid are staying here to wrap up with local PD, and we’re going back to the hotel.”
You know better than to argue with him at this point, so you just nod. Aaron guides you to a waiting SUV, and you thank him by squeezing his hand as he gently helps you settle in to the seat before buckling your seatbelt for you.
The drive back into town is quiet. You know he’s waiting until you get to the hotel room to talk to you—really talk to you. So, you give him the space and time he needs. You look out the window and watch the stars.
---
It’s when you’re in the hotel room and Aaron’s closed the door behind you that he deflates, sinking in on himself and pulling you with him until the both of you are sitting across from each other at the end of the bed.
You gently trace the lines of his palm until he takes a deep breath and begins to speak in a hushed voice.
“When Reid asked where you were,” he starts slowly, “and I couldn’t immediately see you, I thought the worst.” He looks at you, really looks at you. Desperately looks at you. “The building was on fire and Warner had told us not to get too close, so when he dropped and the place exploded with you nowhere in sight?” you squeeze his hand.
He takes a deep, shuddering breath and closes his eyes, trying to gain some sense of composure, and you let him, staying silent.
“…I thought you died. I thought he had placed explosives along some imaginary perimeter, and that you triggered them and that he blew up the cabin too. I thought you were gone.” Aaron’s shoulders start to shake as he tries to push through the sobs rumbling through him. “But the girls were still there, Morgan had just grabbed Lucy, and the local cops were trying to figure out how to deal with the explosion and all I could think was that I just lost you,” his voice breaks.
You lean forward and drag a hand through his hair as he drops his head, giving in to the tears. You move your hand to his cheek and tilt his head up so you can look him in the eyes, so he can look you in the eyes. Gently, you brush tears away with your thumb as they fall.
“I’m here, Love. And I’m so sorry for not telling you where I was going. You and Dave had Warner’s attention and he still had Lucy, and I just—” you try to find the right words. “I didn’t think about it, I just knew that I had to do something to try and save her.” You sigh. “And it almost got me killed,” you acknowledge in a whisper, as if that somehow makes it better. “But all three girls get to go home to their families tonight,” you say softly.
“But you almost didn’t,” he says. “Local PD were focused on the fire and explosion and the team was focused on you and the girls. Emily took off as soon as she could and Morgan followed her because I was caught up with the Chief of Police,” he says with so much venom you can’t help but snort; this particular Chief of Police had been a pain in the ass the entire case.
“And they found me. And then you found me,” you whisper, holding both his hands in yours, kissing his knuckles. “And here we are.”
“And here we are,” he echoes.
You tug him forward, moving your hands to his shoulders and gently catching his lips with your own. His hands cup your face with a fierceness that takes you by surprise, and he kisses back with a desperation that leaves you clinging to his broad frame. I’m here I’m here I’m here. He pulls back slightly, just enough to rest his lips on yours, eyes closed, as the two of you just exist with each other, nothing more. You move your hands to the back of his neck, playing with the hair there as his thumbs move slowly across your cheekbones.
“I love you, Aaron,” you breathe, letting your lips brush his with each syllable.
“I love you more, Sweetheart,” he whispers, softly pressing his lips to yours once, twice, three times.
You open your eyes with a sigh to find Aaron already looking at you. Moving further up the bed, he pulls you with him, laying down and gently maneuvering you until you’re half-across his chest. One of your arms resting under your cheek, over his heart, the other grasping at the fabric of the button-down he’s wearing. He has both his arms securely around you, mindful of your ribs, holding you against him as he rests his cheek on top of your head and intermittently presses kisses wherever he can reach.
In the contented silence, you let yourself relax. Your eyes drifting shut to the steady rhythm of Aaron’s heartbeat as he runs his hands up and down your arms. You know you should shower, that you smell like smoke and the forest floor and that there’s blood you need to wash off your face. You know that Aaron probably won’t let you out of his sight for the foreseeable future, and that he’ll keep you by his side during standoffs so you can’t do anything close to what you did today. You know that you love him, and he loves you.
So, for now, you rest against each other and allow yourselves the comfort of knowing that you survived another day.

Tumblr media
DRUNK CONFESSIONS Hitch x Reader
Word Count: 1.4k
CW: Mentions of drug use (weed, alcohol), being drunk/high, minor cussing
——————————————————————
- “I’m here” you texted Hitch as you pulled into her driveway
- Your phone lit up and read “sorry I CANNOT come anymore, my fish is really sad rn😪😪😪”
- Two things:
- One: Hitch is already outside waiting for you with her backpack (filled with her overnight stuff)
- Two: she doesn’t even fucking have a fish?😾😾😾😾
- She gets into your car to which you greet her with “ah hi Bitch… I mean Hitch! DaMN I thought your fish was in distress?
- “Well be glad “Bitch” is here because she’s the one giving you free weed dumbass” she remarks while (sort of gently) punching your arm
- “Ooo, do I get the hot girl discount?” You smirk at her
- “Shut the fuck up!” She says sarcastically and starts to blush “just drive already” she shifts her knees toward the passenger door
- You got babygirl flustered😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
- You begin your car ride to Sasha’s house
- The Blouse’s were on a 3-day vacation to who-knows-where, all we knew is that Sasha was having a lowkey get together
- The guest list consisted of Eren, Armin, Jean, Marco, Historia, Marlo, Ymir, Annie, Mikasa, Connie, Mina, Reiner, and Bertholt
- You arrived in the Blouse driveway and Hitch begins to pull out grape swisher pack container a blunt
- “Ahhhh~ look at this pearl I rolled!!” She holds it up in awe then shortly begins to light it
- You’re lucky your cars interiors is all leather and you have until tomorrow to air it out
- (You never smoke in your car nor let anyone smoke in your car but Hitch is the only exception cause she’s cute)
- You both share the blunt that is apparently “this amazing strain called Sour Diesel she got from her dealer for free because she made out with him”
- After about what seems like 2 hours (it was actually about 15 minutes) you both are pretty fckn stoned and decide to head in
- You let the group chat know you and trouble arrive and head for the door
- “Mikasa!” You exclaim and hug her as she opens the door
- “What did you say? It’s too loud in here…” she deadpans
- 🦗🦗🦗🦗
- “Huh? There’s no music playing tho…..😅” you reply
- Mikasa sees the gears working in you and Hitch’s head as you’re trying to process the “joke” she just said
- To give you a hint, she sniffs the air
- 👃����👃🏼👃🏼
- “OHHHHHHHH!!!!” You and Hitch say in unison after realizing she was insinuating you REEKED of weed
- “Dumb and dumber arrived!!” Mikasa announces to the gang
- You and Hitch head to the guest bedroom upstairs to drop of your overnight bags
- You both return to the basement only for you to be pulled to one half to play pong and Hitch to the other to go take shots with Annie
- Before the game starts Connie tells “YOOO let’s see who can shotgun the fastest!!”
- Why would you ever turn that down????😩 free beer
- You, Jean, Connie, and Sasha all puncture your cans and begin to go
- Ofc you win🥸🥸🥸 You’re a natural
- “That’s not fair!! I started later, I didn’t know we were supposed to go on “1”!!??” Sasha exclaims, declaring a rematch to which you all oblige
- “3, 2, 1” Mikasa counts down for you guys
- One rematch turned into 2 more 😵‍💫😵‍💫
- Now you’re 4 beers in and the night is barely starting
- the night continues on and pong has turned into a game of “Whichever team loses has to shotgun”
- Lemme tell you, Jean is DEAD WEIGHT
- bitch got no aim???👿
- Sasha and Connie are absolutely obliterating You and Jean so at this point it’s safe to say you’re about 9, Natty Ice’s in and about 3 shots that Hitch kept handing you in
- Speaking of Hitch….
- Where the fuck is she??
- Your dizzy eyes begin to scan the basement— she can only be in so many places down here
- as you’re getting distracted, Sasha and Connie decide to leave the pong table to do God knows what and Jean runs after them
- You decide it’s best to ignore whatever the fuck kind of trouble they’re getting themselves into
- That’s when you see it
- Historia, Mikasa (?!?!?!!), Annie (?!?!?!?), and Hitch making a Tik Tok
- For reference it’s this dance
- You can Ymir practically drooling over Historia and then yelling at Reiner for doing the same
- Marlo is drooling at Hitch
- The sight of Marlo alone ignited a fire of pure rage inside of you
- everyone, including Hitch, knows that he blatantly pines over her… some people even think they’d look cute together but who knows what Hitch thinks??? Does she like him back?
- ahhh~ your head is crowded with so many thoughts right now and decide to silence them with a disgusting shot of Pink Whitney left by your side from Hitch
- is this JEALOUSY????
- your throat and the pit of your stomach burns as the shot goes down but not as hot as the left side of your chest at the sight you’re seeing right now
- You find Historia, Mikasa and Annie VERY attractive bUT you cannot take your eyes off of Hitch
- It’s rude to stare but goddamn, she’s in a white tennis skirt that when she moves JUST enough you can see part of her bare ass
- (Go touch grass later)
- 1 of the 4 girls take turns (unintentionally) messing up causing them to retake the Tik Tok
- You are NOT complaining tho👀👀👀
- They FINALLY get the dance down
- Hitch comes over and stands in between your legs that are dangling off the table you’re sitting on and wraps her arms around your waist
- Marlo shoots you a look and you were about to say something to him but Hitch guides your chin back with her finger so you were looking at her again👿👿👿
- “Soooo~ what’d you think?” She slurs getting closer to your face with a mischievous look in her eyes
- If looks could kill, Marlo would have your head right about now
- MISS GIRL I COULD GET DRUNK IF YOUR BREATH😷😷😷
- “Huh? About what” you play dumb hoping she didn’t notice you blatantly staring
- “Sweetie you would’ve caught flies if you kept your mouth open any longer” she says right in your ear causing you to get goosebumps
- So she definitely noticed you staring
- And played into it😐😐😐
- You took the bait and she won this round
- She nuzzles her head into your chest and oh my god her scent intoxicates you
- A mix of vodka, a bit of sweat (naturally,,,, bitch just got done dancing her life away), strawberry herbal essence shampoo, and a shit ton of Victoria’s Secret bombshell perfume(or Tease, I can’t decide)
- “I have to pee~~ can you come with” she says grabbing your hand without waiting for your answer
- What’s up with drunk girls and tag team bathroom breaks
- (On a real note, I’ve been to a handful of parties and my friends always ask me to help them in the bathroom like what am I gonna do? Wipe their ass for them? Cheer them on like YES GIRL GO PISS!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳)
- Anyways
- She pulls you into the bathroom, does her business as you face the wall, washes her hands and youre ABOUT to open the door when pins you against the door slamming it shut
- “You’re an idiot???” she looks up at you with tears brimming at her eyes
- You’re just as drunk/high as she is (if not more??) she CANNOT blame you for not picking up the subtle hints
- You gave her this abhorrently shocked and confused face
- “Hitch wait what why are you crying I’m so sorry what did I do” you begin to ramble in panic
- “What did I do uhh I’m so sorry how can I fix thi—“
- She cuts you off by smashing her lips against yours
- This has to be a dream or just drunk Hitch actions because she is a flirty drunk so you don’t want to get your hopes up
- “That’s how you can fix it~” she hiccups as a tear goes down her face
- “I’ve liked you for a while and I didn’t want to ruin anything so I kept it in for so long but I just can’t anymore” now SHES rambling
- “Just *hic* seeing you everyday, being so close to you and not *hic* being able to do anything about it hurts so bad but I just had to get this out so I’ll leave you alone afte—“
- Now you cut off her rambling with a slightly less aggressive and more passionate kiss
- The smile on her face is the cutest mixture of shocked and pure happiness🥺🥺🥺
- “I want the exact opposite of you leaving me alone, I’ve liked you for so long Hitch” you kiss her forehead and she just happily sobs/giggles like a child into your chest
“Don’t tell Hitch this, but she’s everything I wanted and more” you give her a small chuckle, looking away as your cheeks turn pink
“I won’t say a word idiot” she says kissing the top of your nose
Anyone, Feel free to delete any part of the ending if you’d like to add the smut part of this request!! Hope you enjoyed

Being JJ's best friend since always (and eventually being his girlfriend)...
Tumblr media
you first meet when you were little kids and it was your first day in OBX
you were just 5 and JJ was 6
when you first saw him, you thought that he would be a good friend for the first day and when he saw you, he thought that you would be a good girl to piss off
your first week was like hell
JJ would make you angry every single day, but then you started becoming friends
and since then, you can’t do anything without each other
you know everything about him and he knows everything about you, from your favorite color to your first celebrity crush
well, you started growing up and you two, first became three with John B and, before you knew it, you were The Pogues
Kie was the sister that you never had, just like the girl-best friend, because JJ was the best, but it wasn’t the same…
even if he loved to gossip with you, it was weird to talk about periods with him..
Pope became your partner in almost all of your classes, you two would be the unique that cares about school, grades and all this shit, and you two would love to watch detectives movies together
John B created a connection with you, that he always called you ‘lil sis’, it’s the cutest thing ever, and he loves to protect you, always making sure that you are safe and okay
and all of this, made JJ sooooo jealous
because, since always he was the one you would tell everything, the one who you would be partner at classes, the one you would beg to watch Criminal Minds with, the one that would take care of you… 
but your friendship never changed
sometimes you and JB would be a little touchy and JJ would always be on the middle of you
and then, after a few months with them, you started to have a little crush on Pope
you didn’t knew why exactly, but he was always so kind, funny and totally handsome
when JJ found out, wow, the boy was sooo pissed 
because he knew that Pope wasn’t into you - the opposite of half of the guys on the OBX - but he was into Kie, and he knew that if you decided to tell him, you would get hurt
and just the thought about you with someone that wasn’t JJ, made him sick in the stomach
so he helped you to get over him, it wasn’t pretty hard because you weren’t so down for him, but JJ was there the whole time
just like when your heart was break for the first time
you meet the guy at a party on the Boneyard and you started to hang out every single day
then, after a month maybe, you started to date, and he was the perfect boyfriend, except for a moment in the relationship that he started to want to have sex with you, but you weren’t ready yet, you were just 15 and wanted for it to be special…….
so, he cheated on you with a touron
boy, no one was able to hold JJ back
he broke his nose, right wrist and a few tooth, and threatened him with his gun
he just didn’t killed the boy, because you were so bad that he just wanted to be with you (and he wouldn’t be able to do it at the jail)
his heart was breaking with the way that the boy made you feel, you were feeling so useless and blaming yourself for what he did
when Kiara told for JJ why you were feeling that way, the boy just wanted to hold you and protect you from all the bad people around the world and that night he came to your house and saw you lying on your bed, looking at your ceiling, without your bright smile that could light up the whole world
he held you, for the hole night
when he noticed that you were finally asleep, with your head at his chest, your arms around his middle and your legs tangled, oh god, he felt his heart falling so hard for you…
after that night, it became JJ’s job to make you safe, protect you and don’t let anyone break you at the same way that that boy did
and then, he finally started to notice a few different things about you
the way that your skin glowed at the sunset, the way your laugh was contagious, the way your hair made you look like an angel when the wind blowed it, but especially the way you always seemed to show how loved JJ was
before he knew it, JJ became touchy starved
why he would he sit next to John B, if you were at the other side of the boneyard? why would he walk beside you and not hold your hand if he could? why would he just watch you dancing if he could dance with you? why would he lay alone in the hammock if he could have your little body pressed against his? and why would he keep his hands to himself if he had you to touch?
and after a while, you started to enjoy this as much as he did, you didn’t want to do this with anyone else, JJ was the one you wanted to call yours
when you first thought about becoming more than just friends with JJ, was after a dream, where you and JJ were together, and you found yourself pouting after waking up and realizing that it was just your imagination
you needed to tell this for JJ
the same day you went to the Chateau the fastest that you could and said everything to JJ
you said how you started feeling like you were one of the fictional characters from the books you’ve read, how your hands were sweating just by seeing him, how you had goosebumps when his hand touched yours, how you felt a million butterflies inside of your stomach when he looked at you, how your knees felt weak when he smokes or drinks or just exists, and how you thought that you were falling for him
“a-and I think I’m in love with my best friend. I think I’m in love with you, JJ…”
he never felt so happy in his entire life, but the little seconds that he took to sink in all the information you had just threw at him, you noticed that your confession could end your whole friendship, everything that you two had passed through together, would have been threw out of the window by your sudden freak out
and your thoughts were running so fast and loud around your head, that you didn’t notice JJ getting close to you, or his hands on your waist and cheek, until his lips touched yours for the first time
JJ knew that he would love to do it every single second of every single day for the rest of his life if he could…
p o w e r     c o u p l e
after the whole drama, you two were the most famous couple of Outer Banks
everyone knew you were his and he was yours even the tourons were warned to not mess with either of you two
and i have to tell you, after this, things exploded
but in a perfect way
you and JJ were closer than ever, you would help him with everything and he would help you with everything
you would be always taking care of him and fighting him if he ever did something wrong
but you were usually always together when he did some shit so–
the pogues would  h a t e  your pda - but secretly love that you are finally happy with each other
every time that JJ kissed you, they would make gag noises and when he wanted a full make out, they would throw things at you two to stop
but they LOVED seeing how you were fully made for each other
like when JJ sits you on his lap and his head lays in the crock of your neck, when he suddenly says that he loves you, when you play with his hair and all this type of clingy stuff
once, they heard you and JJ talking about the future and saying that you wanted to have kids, John B, Pope, Kiara and Sarah fought for over than a week about who would be the godparents of the future kid
well, everyone would totally love you two together
and even a few people would go to the two of you and ask about relationships advices 
JJ wanted to make them pay for a session of therapy but of course you said no
you couldn’t be happier with each other…
you love JJ more than anything in this entire world
and JJ loves you more and more every single day
you’re happy, that’s what matters…

fallingforyou- calum hood.
word count- 1.5k
tw- drinking, smoking, cursing, a couple of tears. other than that just calum being sexy and also cute.
mentions- calum, fiona, luke, michael
a/n- hi! sooooo, this is the first part in my “series” of Calum and Fiona. this series will not have to be read in any order, just a bunch of one shots of Cal and Fi been cute. BUT this ons should be read first, as its the start of their relationship. im very excited abt this and I hope you all are too!!! also, i know a lot of my followers are from the HP fandom but I've been really wanting to branch out with my writing so here's this little number. I still write for HP, btw! not to worry. anyway, I hope u all enjoy this. I love it a lot and I worked very hard!!!! inspired by fallingforyou by the 1975. I recommend listening to the song for dramatic affect.
Calum sipped on his drink as his eyes danced around the kitchen that was filled with drunk and high 20-30 somethings, unimpressed until his deep brown eyes landed on her. Dressed in a little halter top and flared jeans, head thrown back in laughter at God knows what, she laughed at just about anything, especially when intoxicated. Her dark hair cascaded down her back and her lovely brown eyes squeezed shut, she looked like a goddamn angel.
He told Luke a million times that he wasn’t coming to this party, just like he had done with every party that rolled around in LA, but once Luke promised her attendance, he still declined.
But snuck in anyway 3 hours in, trying to go unnoticed by his 3 idiot friends.
His plan failed, of course. Why wouldn’t it? Michael had caught him at the worst time, 4 jack and cokes in, grinning at her like an idiot from across the kitchen island.
“She’s your friend, mate. You know you can like, talk to her.” He had said, nudging his best friend with his elbow.
Calum rolled his eyes, “I’m not 7, Mike. I’ll talk to her when I want.”
“You’re never gonna land a girl like Fiona if you don’t say anything.”
“Who says I’m trying to land her?”
Michael nearly choked on his drink, “Good one, Cal.” He patted his friend's shoulder and pretended to wipe a fake tear. “Hey, Fi!”
Calum had known Fiona since 2013 when 5 Seconds of Summer first toured with One Direction, when she was an assistant to their tour manager. She was the same age as the guys and they all bonded quickly, and to this day she still tours with them. She’s still just an assistant, says she doesn’t want to take on the responsibility of manager, she mostly just makes sure the guys are all where they’re supposed to be at all times.
Fiona turned away from her friends and smiled at the two Australian goofs, excusing herself from the group of girls and making her way over.
“Calum Hood? Enjoying himself? At a party? Insanity!” She smiled that radiant smile of hers and took Calum’s cup from his hands, treating herself to a sip.
“3 of those things are true, and I’ll give you a hint, I’m not enjoying myself.” Calum retaliated and Fiona raised her eyebrows at Michael.
“Hi, Fi.” Calum smiled and slung his arm over her shoulder.
She playfully rolled her eyes and leaned into Calum, “Hey Mr. Buzzkill.”
“I’m gonna go play pong with Luke, you know how he gets when I’m not his partner. Bye Fifi!” Michael rushed out and ran out of the kitchen, no doubt going to gush to Luke and Ashton about Calum and Fiona being cozied up in the kitchen.
“You look pretty tonight.” Calum said flatly, not making eye contact.
He could say those kinds of things to her, they had been friends for 7 years, but the drinks definitely helped him get it out.
“Don’t look too bad yourself, Hood.”
Calum brought her small frame around in front of him so he could look at her. She rested her chin on his chest and looked up at him with her doe eyes, and he made a vow right then and there that he would absolutely get to call her his one day.
This happened often. Calum and Fiona would cozy up to each other when drunk, hugging and touching, never once kissing, and nothing ever came of it.
“Like, you look really pretty.”
Fiona threw her head back again and laughed, “You, Mr. Hood, are drunk.”
“Yeah,” Calum took her hand and spun her around so her back was to his chest and rested his chin on her shoulder, “And you’re really pretty. Look at us stating facts together.”
Fiona giggled again and grabbed Calum’s cup from him, taking another sip.
Calum slowly snaked his arms around her waist and she held onto his arms with her hands, Calum swore he would have melted on her right there.
Fiona spun again and looked up at her friend of 7 years. She wanted to know what went on behind those intense eyes of his. Ashton, Michael and Luke confided in her with almost everything, she knew all about what went on in their heads, but Calum had never told her a thing. Not one detail. She had no idea that Calum was falling for her, on that night, in that shitty lighting, and he was falling for her hard.
“Beer pong?”
-
The two had been waiting for their turn in beer pong for 20 minutes and finally decided to sit down on a nearby bench and just watch. Calum pulled her onto his lap and she hummed happily, with her arms around her once more.
The brown eyed boy took his arms off of her for one second while he dug through his pockets, then put them back in their rightful place, holding a joint up to her lips. She gladly took the weed into her mouth and allowed Calum to light the end for her while she took in a drag.
She held the joint between her fingers and blew out. “You’re a good friend, Cal.”
Calum frowned at that. He had been drinking a little bit more than usual and the word “friend” made his heart drop.
“Don’t wanna be friends.”
Fiona snorted, “Shut up.”
“M’serious.” Calum mumbled against her shoulder. “I don’t wanna be your friend.” He turned his head so he could place her lips on her neck, “I wanna kiss your neck.”
“Calum…”
“I’m falling for you, Fi.”
“You’re drunk.”
“So?”
“So you don’t get to do that!” Fiona suddenly jumped up off of Calum’s lap and faced him, catching the attention of a few people, but no one seemed to care enough.
“Fiona-” Calum started and reached to grab hold of her thigh but she slapped him away.
“Fuck you.” She spat and stormed away. She was probably just going to sit on the front steps. She was too drunk to drive and she left her phone with Calum.
The dark haired boy sighed and hoisted himself up off of the bench to follow after her, at least to give her her phone. He made his way through the crowd of people and was stopped by Luke right before he made it to the door.
“I don’t know what you did, but fucking fix it.” The blond poked his finger into his chest so hard he stumbled back.
“Wha-” He started but by the time he could he finish the one syllable word Luke was long gone.
Calum shook his head and pushed the door open, finding his favorite girl slumped over on the steps with her shoulders shaking. He hurried so he could crouch in front of her and rest his hands on her knees, and refused to move when she tried to push him away.
“I know you’re mad at me but you’re crying and nothing hurts me more than that.” He said softly, trying his best to get the girl in front of him to stop shaking.
After a couple minutes of letting Calum stroke her knee gently with the pad of his thumb, Fiona finally brought her head up and Calum wanted to kick himself for making her cry like that.
“I have loved you” She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, “For 7 fucking years Calum.”
Calum felt like he just got all of the wind kicked out of his lungs, but he didn’t move a muscle.
“I’ve watched girls who treat you like shit come and go and I don’t even get to pick up the fucking pieces because you don’t fucking talk to me, then one night you have a little bit too much to drink and suddenly you’re falling for me?”
“I love you.”
Fiona froze.
“Fuck, Fiona I’ve loved you for 7 years. Every girl who’s come and gone has been a distraction from you because in my head, you’d never feel the same way. I never opened up to you or talked to you because I was scared that if I did I’d let it slip that I love you and I’d lose you. Every time I see you my chest feels tight and I feel like I can’t breathe, every time you laugh I can’t help but smile to myself like a fool and whenever you cry I can’t look at you because I’m afraid I’ll cry too. Screw falling for you, Fiona. I fell for you.”
Fiona didn’t move, she felt like she couldn’t move. Calum had just shared more with her in 30 seconds than he had in 7 years, she was shocked.
“What the fuck took you so long.” Her question came out as more of a statement.
“I’m an idiot.” Calum breathed out before finally leaning in and kissing the girl he had loved for so long.
//pls remember to leave a comment or reblog if you enjoyed it, kind words mean a lot🖤and so begins the life of cal and fi, i can’t wait! hope u all are excited too. xx roxie

Not Your Aunt
Chapter 6: Dewey [ao3 link]
It’d been quite the week.
Goldie wasn’t sure where she stood amongst everything, but apparently Scrooge was actually the biological father (or at least the unknowing DNA donor) of Beakley’s granddaughter - the same one she’d convinced Scrooge to abandon in a forest in the middle of Florida just a few months earlier.
Not a great start to a relationship she never planned on having. As much as she liked Sharpie, she had no intention of getting to know all the kids in Scrooge’s life. It was starting to feel like a collection.
All the same, though, Goldie still found herself in Duckburg after the smoke had cleared. She didn’t want to interrupt Scrooge’s little family time, but she also felt like they should have a talk of some sort. Their adventure in Florida meant a lot to her and after being kidnapped and mildly tortured for what felt like weeks, she kind of just wanted to spend some quality time with him. It made her feel a little sick to her stomach, but she couldn’t fight the urge to hold his hand and kiss his cheek any longer.
So as Goldie always did, she broke into the manor. Specifically, she made her way into Scrooge’s bedroom, hoping to see him and have some fun and be on her way again. But as her feet hit the floor, she found the room empty and quiet. Not a soul in sight.
She checked the clock on the wall. It was well after dinnertime. Maybe the family was watching a movie together or something. She didn’t know what close-knit families liked to do in their free time, but that seemed normal. Goldie made her way out his door and tiptoed across the hallway towards the foyer.
“She deserves to know more about where she comes from!”
Goldie froze and quickly hid behind a banister as she heard a familiar voice come from downstairs. She peeked around the marble to see who he was talking to.
“Of course, but just try not to overwhelm her. She’ll be overjoyed to fill in all the blanks she can about your ancestors.”
“And she should be! McDuck blood is strong and tough and she should know the accomplishments that made her who she is!”
“...right.”
Goldie stared at Scrooge and Beakley, walking side-by-side and obviously chatting about Webbigail. It seemed like they were about to have a big family conversation, which meant Goldie wouldn’t be welcome nor interested in being present for a bunch of stories she’d heard a thousand times already.
She made her way down another hallway, trying to decide whether or not she should leave or just wait for Scrooge in his room. He could be hours and she didn’t feel like sitting around or taking a nap, so perhaps combing through some old treasures and stealing something from him would be a fun way to pass the time.
As she continued down the hall, Goldie’s attention was drawn to a loud noise coming from what she recognized as the boys’ room. The door was ajar and the lights were on, so maybe she’d say hi to Sharpie as she decided what to steal.
In her usual sneaky way, Goldie stepped inside of the room without being noticed. Even the creak of the door couldn’t grab anyone’s attention - especially considering what was happening inside.
She stared incredulously at the sight of Della’s blue kid - Dewey, she was pretty sure - holding up signs in front of a camera and happily talking about the exciting week he’d just had. He rambled for a good twenty seconds about his cousin and her clones and how his family just kept getting cooler and more interesting every day, so Goldie opted to cross her arms over her chest and lean against the bunk beds and watch him.
It took two full minutes before Dewey noticed her, and as soon as he did he let out a high-pitched chirp that would’ve warmed her heart had it not frozen over long ago.
“What are you doing here?!” Dewey asked with an accusatory pointed finger.
Goldie put a hand to her chest in feigned offense. “Why, Dewford Duck, am I not allowed to sit in on your little show?”
He squinted his eyes at her for a few moments and slowly put a finger to his chin. “Hmmm...I guess. But I meant, like. Why aren’t you with Uncle Scrooge?”
“He’s busy,” Goldie shoved herself off the beds and walked over. “So what is this?”
Dewey’s eyes lit up as he realized his guest was bored enough to listen to him talk about his favorite thing in the world. “This is….Dewey Dew-Night! It’s my talk show!!”
“You have a talk show?” Goldie looked into the camera. “People watch this?”
“Well…” Dewey tapped his fingers together on top of his little desk. “Not really. But I tape every episode in case one of them is good enough to submit to local TV networks! I’m expecting to get a response for my episode on the Moonvasion any day now.”
Goldie stood up straight and put her hands on her hips, looking around Dewey’s pretend studio and observing how he organized everything. “That invasion was several months ago. I don’t think they’re gonna get back to you, kid.”
Dewey pouted. “Yeah, well...maybe it was too much.” He shuffled some papers around on his desk and glanced up at her. “Can I interview you?”
“Excuse me?” she asked, turning around and raising one eyebrow in disbelief.
“Can I interview you for my show?” he asked again.
Goldie rolled her eyes. “What sort of stuff would you be interviewing me about?”
He tapped his hands against the desk and stared at her. “You were captured by F.O.W.L., right? Can I ask you about that? What happened and what you went through?”
“Oh.” She thought he was going to ask her questions about Scrooge or her history and she had no interest in sharing those kinds of things with a child. This, however… “...sure, I guess.”
“Alright!” Dewey got up from his seat and grabbed a dish towel off a shelf. He quickly wiped down one of the chairs for his guests and then sat back down in his usual spot.
Goldie shrugged and took a seat.
Dewey tapped his hands again, clearly amping himself up and getting excited. “So, so, so, so so so sooooo!”
Goldie raised an eyebrow at him.
“Tell me everything that happened. I mean you, of all people, the great Goldie O’Gilt, were captured by agents of F.O.W.L.! They must’ve had ten men at once take you by surprise! Caught you completely off guard! You probably fought for your life!”
“Huh,” Goldie hummed. “I appreciate that this is the image you have of me, but it wasn’t nearly that exciting.”
“Aww...why not?”
“I did get caught by surprise,” she started, picking at the feathers at the ends of her fingers. “But I was knocked out pretty quickly. No big fight. Just me getting involved with Scrooge’s family drama, once again.”
Dewey stared at her suspiciously. “How’d they catch you by surprise?”
Goldie stared back, silently, debating what kind of answer to give him. The actual answer was a bit embarrassing for her to admit, and she didn’t plan on giving one of Scrooge’s kids that kind of ammunition. But she also knew the best kind of lie was one very close to the truth. “I got a text that I thought was from Scrooge. Said he needed to talk to me...and then what do you know? Not Scrooge. No talking.”
“Oh,” Dewey said, noticeably disappointed. “So you got ambushed? Knocked out with chloroform?!”
“It was some kind of gas, actually,” she responded matter-of-factly, ignoring the way he was trying to make her story more exciting. “Bomb shot in my face. Boom. Out like a light. Not my best moment, I’ll admit.”
“Well, you are pretty old,” Dewey said with a thoughtful finger in the air. “So what happened next? You woke up in a horrible cage, confused and trapped?!”
She ignored his ‘old’ comment and focused on the question instead. “Yeah, pretty much.”
He leaned forward and slammed his hands onto the desk. “Did they torture you?!”
“Oh, yeah. Big time torture.”
“Wait, really?” Dewey looked at the camera for a second and then back to Goldie. “That’s so scary. What’d they do?”
“They locked me up right next to Santa Claus,” Goldie complained, sticking out her tongue for disgusted emphasis. “I don’t know if you’ve met the man, but he’s an absolute dullard. I can’t hold a single conversation with him without getting annoyed.”
Dewey stared at her for a few moments, blinking silently. “...is that it?”
“What’d you expect? Cattle prods and the electric chair? They were just trying to get me out of the way, not kill me.”
“Oh,” he said, sitting back down. “I guess I should be happy that no one got seriously hurt, huh? Well except for Uncle Scrooge.”
“Eh, he can take it. He’s Scrooge McDuck, after all.”
“That’s true, he is!” Dewey nodded, looking at the camera again. “Alright so no big fight, no real torture…”
“That Santa thing was not a joke.”
“...so if you’re not here to get financial compensation from Uncle Scrooge, why’d you come here?”
Goldie looked confused for a moment. “...financial compensation?”
“Yeah, ‘cause you said it’s his fault you got caught up in his family drama so I figured you wanted him to pay up for all the trouble you’d gone through.”
“Huh,” she said quietly, trying to think of an appropriate response. “I genuinely hadn’t even considered that.”
“No?” He leaned over his desk again. “So...are you just here to visit? Like...hang out ‘n stuff?”
Goldie hoped her expression didn’t betray the lack of emotion in her response. “I suppose.”
“That’s kind of cool. Are you gonna come around more often?” Dewey asked, leaning on his elbows. “I know you and Louie are, like...friends or whatever, but you should know that me and Huey and Webby are all really cool, too! Or, well. Me and Webby are.”
She blinked slowly at him. The thought of her and Louie’s relationship being defined as ‘friends’ was odd, to say the least. “I, um. I’m not making any promises one way or another. Just wanted to see your Uncle and talk about things.”
Dewey looked at the camera and wiggled his eyebrows. “Oooh, things! Adult things? Like taxes and marriage?”
“Exactly like taxes and marriage.”
“If you guys get married, then you’d be Aunt Goldie, huh?” Dewey said with a smile.
Goldie’s eyes widened and for a brief moment she could’ve sworn she was looking at a preteen Della Duck again. The similarities between them were uncanny, but that little comment really caught her off guard.
“...I wouldn’t get your hopes up.”
“Eh, well,” Dewey shrugged. “Maybe I’ll just call you Aunt Goldie anyway. Mom and Uncle Donald already do.”
Goldie held back a groan and just rolled her eyes instead. “They didn’t get my permission on that, you know.”
“Did you know them when they were my age?” Dewey asked suddenly, ignoring her comment. “I mean, you’ve known Uncle Scrooge for, like, a million years, right?”
“Not quite a million, but sometimes it feels like it,” Goldie droned. “Your mom was a lot like you when she was your age, you know.”
“I know!”
“...you know?”
“Yeah, two Christmases ago I traveled back in time and met her and Uncle Donald and we fought a wendigo together!”
“...yeah, alright.” Goldie sighed. “Scrooge still does his time travel on Christmas nonsense?”
“He didn’t last year, but I think that’s ‘cause he and one of his friends got into a fight the year I joined them,” Dewey mused, trying to remember who was who. “I’m not sure exactly what happened, but it seemed like a big deal.”
Goldie made a note of this to ask Scrooge about it later. “So you wanna hear some stories about your mom when she was a kid? I’m sure I’ve got something embarrassing I could tell you.”
“Well...I do absolutely wanna hear those,” Dewey said as he climbed onto the desk. “But also...I’m kind of curious about, um. About you.”
“Prepare yourself for disappointment, kid, I don’t like to talk about myself as much as your dear old uncle does.”
Dewey crawled forward and sat on the edge of his desk, dangling his legs over the side. “I know, I get that. Sort of. But, like...okay. So Uncle Scrooge told us you’re his ex-girlfriend, but then you were all dancey and smoochy and then you went on a date and we didn’t see him again for like two days and then the next time we see you you’re all smoochy again. And you’re friends with Louie now or something? So I’m just kind of confused, I guess? Like...mom and Uncle Donald don’t seem to trust you very much and Mrs. Beakley definitely doesn’t trust you at all and Uncle Scrooge says he doesn’t trust you but then he kisses you and why would you kiss someone you don’t trust, right? That’s just kind of weird.”
Goldie cleared her throat awkwardly. “Is there a question here?”
“Oh, right,” Dewey said, thinking back over his last sentences. “I guess, um...what’s your endgame?”
“My what?”
“Your goal?” He wiggled his legs back and forth. “Like...with Uncle Scrooge. And with us. Or do you have a secret huge family up in Canada that you give all your money to and that’s why you only show up every once in a while?”
Goldie, who’d been leaning on her elbow on the edge of the couch, lost her balance briefly thanks to the shock of his question. He really knew how to change the mood in a second flat. “I, uh…” She couldn’t help but glance at the camera and wonder if Scrooge watched his kid’s show. She doubted it, but still. “...I definitely do not have a secret family up in Canada. Or anywhere.”
Dewey nodded excitedly.
“Um... don’t you think asking for someone’s life goal is a little personal? You barely know me.”
“Really? They asked us that our first day in school,” Dewey said with a smile. “Plus I kind of know you! I know the stories we’ve heard from Uncle Scrooge, at least.”
“Yeah, I’m not sure if those tales are entirely accurate.”
“I’m sure they’re not that far off!” Dewey stood up on the desk again and posed dramatically. “Like the time you two fought a bunch of angry kangaroos and then rode them through the Australian desert!”
“...that’s true.”
“Or when you sailed through the Bermuda Triangle, saving both of your lives from an evil giant squid!”
“I don’t remember the squid, but you’d be surprised how many times I’ve fought one of those.”
“That’s so cool!” Dewey pointed two finger guns at her. “I’ve only met a giant squid once so far, but I’m hoping to add a few more to my repertoire over the next few years!”
Goldie ran her fingers through her ponytail and sighed. “You really are Della’s kid, aren’t you?”
“Did you know she was gonna name me Turbo?” Dewey asked excitedly, changing the subject once again. Goldie wondered if he always did that or just during his little interviews. “Apparently Uncle Donald knew about it and still chose Dewford which is totally insane! Turbo! I could’ve been Turbo!”
Goldie raised an eyebrow and let out a short chuckle. “You’re a funny kid.”
“Thanks!”
“Got any other questions for me?” Goldie asked, wondering how long it’d been since she last checked her phone. It felt like an hour but something told her it’d probably only been about ten minutes.
“Well you still didn’t answer my last question,” he answered as he settled back into his chair. “It just seems like you’ve come around a lot more in the past two years than you did ever before so if you’re thinking of marrying Uncle Scrooge and moving into the manor, you should let me and my audience know!”
“That’s a lot of assumptions to make based on a handful of house visits.”
“I’m not hearing a no…” Dewey leaned forward again.
“And you’re also not hearing a yes.” Goldie crossed her arms over her chest and crossed one leg over the other.
“Ahh, always so mysterious, Glittering Goldie O’Gilt!” Dewey said while staring directly at the camera. “Oh, that reminds me! You’re a singer, right? Or you used to be?”
Goldie felt a tiny bit surprised by that question and then a wave of embarrassment for being surprised. “...did Scrooge tell you that?”
“Yeah! And some other stuff. But I wanted to ask you something really important!”
“...which is?”
“I was thinking of reworking the Dewey Dew-Night! theme song and I’d love to get your input! I dunno if you ever did any song writing, but just getting advice from someone else with musical ears would be great for my chances of getting picked up!” Dewey held up his phone. “Can I play it right now or should I just send you a link and you’ll listen to it later?”
Goldie shook her head, realizing she would never be able to predict where this kid went. He was definitely not like Scrooge in that department. “Aaaand that’s my cue to leave.” She finally stood up, brushed non-existent dust off her pants, and gave Dewey and his camera a little wave before moving towards the bedroom door. She enjoyed this little waste of time (for the most part), but she had no interest in listening to some loud screechy theme song or answering questions about her days in Dawson.
“Aunt Goldie, wait!” Dewey shouted, hopping over his desk and rushing to grab her hand before she could leave the room.
She sighed and looked down at him. “What?”
“I just wanted to say that, well. If you did wanna come around more and hang out or move in or join the family or whatever...I think that’d be cool.”
Goldie blinked down at his genuine little expression and felt a tiny bit of heat come to her cheeks and her heart. “...that’s...very sweet of you to say, Turbo.”
Dewey’s eyes lit up as Goldie made her way out the door and he did a little butt wiggling dance in celebration. He pulled out his phone and quickly texted Louie to ask for Goldie’s number. He stopped in front of his camera and posed. “I’m sure she’ll listen to the theme song later today, probably just wanted a nice quiet spot in the house to really feel the music. I can’t wait to hear what she has to say. It’s gonna be Turbo-tacular!”

Ooh OK! Here goes.
First and foremost, as a witch of twenty plus years, the most important thing I can tell you is to be yourself. If this is a belief system and way of life that you want for life it has to fit in with you and your personality.
Forget everything you see on Instagram, tictok or Pinterest, it's not about the aesthetic, it's about you.
There is no room for witch shaming on my blog.
And by that I mean that EVERYONE works in different ways, at a different pace and to different levels. Never compare yourself to anyone else or how they work. Never think that you aren't doing enough or that you aren't progressing enough.
You are on your own path and that is the right one for you, so you do it your own way. You want to stop and smell the flowers? Do it. You want to dip your feet in that stream? Go for it! You want to stop and rest for a bit? Best idea ever!
You should never feel pressured to do anything that you aren't ready for or aren't comfortable with. That includes such things as blood magic, working with deity you don't feel a connection with, working skyclad, doing any kind of sexual magic or anything that makes you feel off about it. It's YOUR craft.
Be kind to yourself, don't have expectations and don't ever think you aren't good enough or worthy.
This includes making your craft unique to you. Visualisation is one of the witches most poweful tools, the magic doesn't come from the expensive athame, insence or candles, its in the heart of the witch. The power comes from you. And visualisation is your key to that but so is choosing how to make it work for you.
Take me for example, I'm this loveable thundernerd witch, so that reflects in my craft.
In circle (mediumship development) we did a meditation and I was directed to the beach. So what beach did I go to...
"There's a lovely beach, I can feel the salt water on my skin, I can smell the salt in the air, there's a light breeze that's rustling the leaves on the palm trees all around me and in the distance I can hear the faint sound of someone playing the piano."
Hell yeah I was there. That's my happy place!
I need to ascend to a higher level of consciousness? Am I taking that golden winding staircase or am I calling John for the space elevator? What do you think I'm gonna choose?
I need to go lower, below the earth to go into trance? Hell I'm taking Alan's seat down.
Make it work for you.
Working with charms, that's a very important thing for me. I have lucky charms, trinkets and things everywhere. And they don't have to be pagan. I put a spell on my car to keep me safe and the car safe. Then I charged up a little TAG John and Virgil, they live in my car, Virgil is my co-pilot John is my navigator. They help me feel calm and safe.
Energy weaving is a big thing, I always do it that any energy I raise for something that doesn't already have a predetermined purpose, say for example it's full moon and I'm bouncing around outside, everything I raise I direct out to the earth as healing. I'll raise my arms to the heavens and say : I send this energy out to anyone or anything that needs it right now, I send my love and healing into the wind and trust that it will be taken to where it can do the mslt good.
Talking to other witches about how they do things and how they work is sooooo important. That's why I'm not in a tradition ( alexandrian, gardnerian etc) because I don't like having just one way to do things. That doesn't work for most people, they just won't admit it.
Trying different things to find a way that works for you is so much nicer and healthier than struggling to work the one way that you've been taught. So read, a lot, watch a lot of reputable youtubers (I recommend Tylluan Penry, she's amazing, a grandmother witch and a good friend of mine) and make your own choices. And remember that nothing is set in stone, we are ever evolving and every changing, if you feel the urge to try something new and work a different way, do it. You don't have to stick with it.
An astral altar, sooo important but something I don't see many people talking about. An astral altar is something you build in meditation.
You have your happy place, somewhere you feel safe and calm and protected (Tracy Island and the beach for me or my Nan and Grandads house as I remember it before they passed away) but it could be anywhere, a woodland, a house, a stream, a playground you used to love. Anything or anywhere.
Here you find a nice place that you like and you dream up /visualise your altar base, like a nice table, a tree stump, and rock, anything. And here you place all the items you might need, all the things you've dreamed about that you can't afford or the things you have in real life. And you place them all there. You keep that space, you charge it up, you spend time there and then, any time you are away form home or can't get to your altar in the real world for any reason, you have somewhere to go, somewhere to work and some where to commune.
Tools, I didn't see that on the list but might have missed it.
Anything can be a tool. That's the biggest lesson of all. Our pagan ancestors would have used whatever they had to hand, no tools were single use or bought for the purpose of their craft. A cauldron was cooked in all week, a knife is used to chop everything and then used to direct energy.
These days we have the resources (and don't have to hide) to be able to have specific tools that we use only for our craft, but they don't have to be expensive. Go to a thrift store or buy cheap on eBay, a letter opener is an athame, a single wine glass can be a chalice, a pretty bowl is your offering bowl, a single plate is an offering plate, mismatched candle stick holders. All valid and will work just as well. The tools are a focus, they are NOT the source of our power.
Another tip, make witchcraft part of your every day life. Make it as natural and normal as everything else you do. It's part of your life and should be treated as such.
Making coffee in the morning? Set your intentions for the day and focus on it as you make it. You want to draw positivity? Stir doesil (clockwise) that's attracting. Want to rid yourself of the bad mood you had yesterday? Stir widdershins (counterclockwise) that's banishing. Not got anything? Stir a pentagram and call it good.
Sigils, doodle them everywhere (if you want a quick lesson on how to draw them and make up your own, let me know). Charm the shit out of everything.
Whisper a food blessing before you make food or eat. Bring that abundance in.
Trail your fingers along a wall or bushes to feel the energy as you walk.
Everything is magical to a witch.
Read mythology stories, it helps us learn and helps us connect to the stories of our pantheons and deity.
And heres the biggest thing I can tell you. Don't worry about getting things wrong. It's how we learn and honestly there is no such thing as wrong as long as your intentions are right.
Wording of spells doesn't matter, the intention and feeling behind them does.
You can do a cleansing by saying : Blessed spirit, Father God, mother goddess, I ask that you bless this house/tool /space and help drive out any negativity. Spirits that reside, if you're good you may stay, if you wish me halm, then please leave.
Nothing wrong with that.
Or you do a me: Mother Goddess, Father God, I'm back. Help me out here please, I need to cleanse this shit. Yo, spirits, good guys, ya chill, bad shit, get the fuck out! I'm the witch I'm in charge, do as you're told *claps hands all over the place and follows up with a cloud of vape smokes because my intention is in my breath and I'm blowing that negativity away*
And last but not least. I'm sure you've heard "Ever mind the rule of three, what you send out comes back to thee" That's very true, try to only send out good if you can. But you're human and it won't always happen, you'll have bad thoughts and negative emotions, that's normal and fine. Just don't do it with nastiness in your heart.
"and if it harms none, do what you will."
There's a line here most people don't know... "do no harm. But take no shit."
Because the one person most witches forget to look out for is themselves. Being good, doing good and being positive is great, but not at the expense of yourself. If it harms you, don't do it.
Love and light, and bright blessings to you. X

I DON'T KNOW HOW THE WRITING PROMPT MEME WORKS REALLY
but it's WAYYYY too CUTE to not do. Sooooo how about I toss ya some numbers! ^^
Hand holding: 12 and 10! 33,
Hugs: 2, 18, 27
Hope it isn't too much!!! ^^
Kim was emotionally fluctuating between feeling sorry for Tommy, and trying not to go into shock whenever she walked into a room and found her older, alternate universe, badass-self kissing an older, Coinless General Bulk. Watching them seemed more perfect than she might have dared hope for whatever fate was allotted to the Ranger Slayer. When they'd first dropped into their Command Center and explanations had been given, Alpha had allowed Bulk to lead his Kimberly to the medical bay, and Kim had followed after them in case they got lost. Bulk was incredibly good with the damaged woman that could probably beat him into the ground at any moment. Kimberly hadn't even huffed when he'd offered her a piggy-back ride and then insisted on bandaging up her hand that'd been cut open when she'd gone after Tommy and he'd had to defend himself with Saba. He'd sterilized the wound, wrapped it tight but not without sympathy and hadn't bothered untangling their fingers or letting go when they'd wandered back into the room Zordon occupied so they could all talk and argue and occupy themselves with searching the data banks for ways out and locating their other friends for hours. The kissing was on the extreme end of their affections, though. In the days that followed, Kim didn't see them lock lips as often, as they usually found themselves training or cooking or reading with just one hand, as the other one was invariably found more often holding onto the other; like two magnets that would always find themselves connected if given enough time.  It was, admittedly, adorable as anything she could have imagined, but still a surprise she couldn't help but balk at. Tommy underwent the same amount of shock with the random displays of affection that he often stumbled into with Kim, but he had more pressing issues: when he left to walk into a room with one of the Coinless universe alters, he always had to keep his movements to a minimum, hands far away from his pockets, and eyes to the ground. With the older Trini, Zack, and Bulk, it wasn't so bad; with the Omega Rangers out in space and their history with this smaller Tommy helping them before Drakkon shattered the Morphin Grid, they were more willing to acknowledge that the evil despot and the teen weren't the same. With those Coinless who had never been Rangers--Rocky and Aisha in leather and combat armor with battle scars, had looked very shocked when they'd met their younger selves in Ranger gear, Adam being given the oddest looks from the elders--it was much harder, because they hadn't even spoken to Tommy. And they'd all been dumped through a hole in space and time that the Eltarians and Zedd had caused when Zelya had gotten away from the moon, so everyone was still reeling--especially with them being separated into three groups around Angel Grove. Perhaps they'd make up their minds when the stragglers from Drakkon's universe arrived at the Command Center... * * "He's very strong, and very sure, but he's no Drakkon." "No offense, Skull, but how--" "Could I know that?" The spy--spy, spy, actual double agent who had to relay messages and blend into the background and not die a horrible painful death at the slightest misstep, how the fucking hell--smiled with benevolent pragmatism. Rocky nodded, mouth tightening into a line as Aisha stood her own ground in their questioning. They would have loved not to have come to such an awkward position with having to use Skull to calm down their worries, put them to bed, and smother them to death, but they couldn't find solace and reassurance in Zack and Trini's words and it didn't seem fair to keep putting the kids in defense positions just because they could calm the fuck down. Skull flicked his hand open and made a motion for Tommy to come closer to him, which he did with only a slight hesitation. He wasn't wearing his suit, but Skull had been the only person so far from the other dimension who hadn't looked at him and gone fully rigid, so he had a good sporting chance of not being injured here. When he was only a
step or two from walking directly into Skull, the man offered up his open palm, harmless and dangerous at the same time, and Tommy blinked, unsure and afraid, before deciding it was better to get everything that was going to happen one way or another out of the way. He lifted up his own hand and laid it flat in Skull's. There was dirt under his pointer finger and he only had a single twitch of a moment to be embarrassed before the much bigger fingers circled his wrist and wound around his knuckles, brought his hand upwards, as if he was little more than an infant fresh from a tub, or a sun warmed kitten.  Tommy felt a coil behind his belly bunch up all of his nerves at once when Skull's fingers slotted between his own in a possessive kind of way that sparked familiar-unfamiliar thoughts--those all fading away when the man kept their palms together and brought his head down, breathing out like a gust of a train through a mountain pass, and inhaling at Tommy's wrist. Nose tip to his skin raising all the goosebumps Tommy thought he even had. He's pretty sure his ponytail sparked at the end when he jerked a little back. Which swiftly brought him to absolute internal humiliation that showed across his face like a goddamn Muppet. Just because he'd seen that Skull let the Coinless drink his blood right from his finger and they all ate it in bread and stuff after he'd let a tube from his arm pour into the batter of whatever he made them, didn't necessarily mean the man would bite him. ...He hoped. Then, as if that hadn't been the weirdest thing, Skull lifted his head to grin at him, but didn't let go of his hand as the man addressed Rocky, Aisha, and all the other adults--and Tommy was too confused to ask him to let go, so... there was that, "He doesn't smell like he's rotting from the inside; like he needs to be wearing five layers of Axe Body Spray. And he isn't getting all put-upon and squirrely with me holding onto him. And, if you'll humor me a moment?" He was looking at Tommy directly at the last bit, but didn't let the teen answer before he found himself being wrapped in arms that had way more muscle than Skull had any right to have in any universe holy hell--and Tommy was suddenly in a bear hug, feet off the ground and spun around twice as much as he had ever been even at five years old; three times around and around, before he was planted on the couch like a sack of flour right next to Kim (his Kim, who looked utterly stunned and far too amused). The giggle that left his mouth when he smiled at her smiling at him should not have come into existence, and if he hadn't been red before, he was practically blazing as he brought his hands up to cover his mouth.  Skull's hand patted him on the head as he ducked his head as much as possible at the sounds of snickering and the other adults choking on their own reactions. He definitely felt like a kitten. "See? Totally harmless to us. Now let them take us to the Juice Bar and feed us; I'm hungry and Ernie's alive here to make me that banana-marshmallow smoothie I haven't had in over a decade." * "I...played the right politics." It would have been so fucking nice if Billy would stop asking Skull questions about the past and present the Coinless had to live through. He didn't mean to make the adults with faces he knew and worried over angry or tired, but Adam was getting very, very annoyed with how he always seemed to find the core root of things that made Skull look... All the emotion left Skull's face at that word, every single time. Politics, like a euphemism for something else entirely.  (And it was.) Adam remembered, because he was there when Zack and Trini, Aisha and Bulk, Rocky and the others weren't; inside the fortress Drakkon ran and imbibed in terrorizing whenever he got especially bored. The monster loved to play games with his sentries, with his prisoners, but rarely with his staff, because it took time and effort to train up new ones. But the sentries were his favorite, because they had to prove their loyalty each and every day. Some in
little ways, some in big ways. And Drakkon remembered Skull. Zack and Trini hoped he wouldn't, and Skull, when he was giving help and clues and time that he could to them, made it seem as if he never even crossed Drakkon's mind from being a punk that wore a spiked collar back in high school to becoming one of the higher-functioning members of the red sentries. Oh, being a spy made him so good at pretending nothing was wrong, how to be cool under pressure, how to avoid danger on all sides with one way out or none at all; how to think ahead, think like his opponent, pull facts and plans out of instinct and thin air (because what other choice was there, after all). That was why he was the best; probably why, too, he was revived from death by the universe and multiverse reshaping itself with the Grid's renewal. Politics translated so well to Games in Drakkon's palace. (It was amazing how often the horrible bastard made the sentries fight or fuck each other in his presence; the threat of his being displeased getting them through most of the time, and out the door when he was finished with himself to go vomit or find a shower or smoke so many cigarettes. As far as Adam knew, Skull was one of the very rare few who were made to fight or pleasure Drakkon himself. Skull and Adam and one yellow sentry that died before Kim returned to their world. If Kim was ever made to do as they were, she didn't tell or didn't remember, and Adam was thankful for that. And thankful for Skull. When he fought other sentries, he injured with care to avoid it being permanent or knocked out the other in a show of force that Drakkon appreciated that didn't lead to brain damage but made a good show. When he was made to fuck the others, he carried necessary aids to protect them from hating themselves or leaving much of a trace behind--condoms made from animal skin by Finster-5 he bribed out of the little freak; lubricant so there wouldn't be blood or bruising; an aptitude for pleasing other people as thoroughly and as quickly as he could while being on top and leading them through it with hands calloused but still soft. When he had to use his mouth on Drakkon or submit to the tyrant--often in front of others and while being degraded with his real name being used like words from a djinn or an immortal snake--he did so efficiently and made it seem as though he wasn't being forced at all.  Adam hated Drakkon more than anyone those times he had to be there and watched Skull pull his armor back on and resume his place in line among the other sentries like nothing had happened. He hadn't known him before the world came crashing down, but before he'd traded his loyalty for the hope that his family might survive--what a stupid hope that had been--he'd heard that the man had cried over Billy Cranston's gave for a week after his death and been good.) But this small, wide-eyed Billy Crantson, alive and well and looking at Skull with so much awe and respect that Adam could spot it from a mile away if he was goddamn blind, didn't need to hear that. Did not need the thought in his head like a rotting wound festering with so many white little maggots. So Adam continued sipping his coffee (pumpkin spice; which was so fucking good after years of straight, bitter instant black) and remained in his usual place beside Skull in the daytime, watching him go through the motions in this time out of joint from their own. Gladder still to be in the Juice Bar, watching the teens enjoy themselves, play at their video games, ramble on about tests they had to take in school; watch the Coinless eat their food and drink their smoothies, enjoy watching their young reflections practice gymnastics or martial arts. When Billy excused himself to talk to the Stone Canyon Trio about some notes they'd asked for from Ms. Appleby's class, eyes still sparkling with information given and listening to Skull like he would have listened to him even if he knew everything out of his mouth could have been a lie; nobody saw Adam wrap an arm around Skull's waist and squeeze
him from the side. It was just as well.

Karaoke night
“Will they make it?” Maya asked concerned.
“They have very severe burns and all the smoke inhalation isn't helping, but you guys arrived just in time, so it hasn't compromised anything irreversibly.” Bailey said “We can't make promises but I'm positive about it”.
“I really hope you're right” Maya added, letting out a slow breath she didn't know she was holding.
“Luckily for you, I usually am!” Bailey exclaimed, raising her eyebrows in satisfaction, trying to lighten the mood  “Go home Bishop, if there's any significant update, I'll let you know”.
“Thank you Bailey”. She said, checking the time and seeing her shift was due to be over like an hour ago, so she opted for heading home.
She had tough calls almost every week, but some of them hit her harder than the others, and this one was one of them: they had arrived at the scene when it was already a three-alarm fire, because they couldn't put out the fire as it seemed to be originated by something that kept on igniting it every time they tried to use water or normal extinguishers. The problem was that when 23 arrived there first, their captain thought the fire started because of a short-circuit, which wasn't completely wrong, but what they hadn't noticed was that there was something more. They kept on using CO2 extinguishers, but that didn't seem to work. When 19 arrived, the situation was insanely bad: they still hadn't been able to rescue the couple inside of the house and nothing had improved. When Maya checked the structure, she noticed a slightly detached garage, which was linked to the building through a dangerous roofing containing asbestos but hadn't  been checked: the fire kept on reigniting because it was a metal involving fire, and that's why both water and CO2 were useless. Luckily, they had the right equipment to contain the situation, due to a training course they had done previously that week: while she contacted the specialized team for these kind of fires, they were able to put it out after a while, and she had to go in to help find the couple. When they found them, they were unconscious, but they still had a pulse: it was weak, but it was there. What moved Maya so much was how they had found them: they were two women, full of sooth and dust, one of them trying to cover with her body the other, trying to prevent her from inhaling too much smoke. They had rings on their hands, the same one, so they were probably a couple: obviously, it wasn't the first time she had to save a family, but that view made her think of Carina, her family. At the only thought of losing her, she felt sick, she couldn't breathe, but she had to focus back on the present, to be able to actively help. As soon as she was out, she jumped on the aid car and, while heading towards the hospital, using the update of her probably being late at home as an excuse, she called Carina, who had a day-off, just to hear her voice and let it soothes her.
While she was driving home, she replayed that image in her head, over and over again, and she felt her chest tighten, as if the car was closing in on her. Before stepping inside, she shook her thoughts away and took the keys. As soon as she opened the door, she was welcomed by the warmest smile she had ever seen.
“Ciao Bella! I missed you” Carina said, coming over towards the blonde, who didn't even bother to say anything, just going straight for a lingering kiss.
“I missed you too. A lot.” Maya finally added, looking the Italian in the eyes, before pulling her in a  tight hug.
“How was your day?” Carina asked, noticing that something was probably off, but willing to give Maya the time she needed to talk about it.
“It was tough, actually pretty tough” she replied, exhausted “but I'm finally here with you and that's all that matters right now”, she added, caressing Carina's face, kissing her softly.
“Yeah, I'm always here with you bella!” Carina stated, trying to reassure Maya, who still seemed a little off “if you want, we can call Andy and Vic and put off the party, so that you can relax”.
At those words, Maya's eyes went wide: how was it possible that she had forgotten about it?
“Mmm, it looks like someone forgot about the party here” Carina chuckled against Maya's lips.
“Yep, I know, I know. I'm hopeless.” the blonde said, smiling a little “Anyway, no, I don't want to postpone it. I think it will be fun. I only need to take a shower and I'm ready”
“Take your time, bella. Vic and Andy will be here in an hour.” the Italian explained
“Sooooo... that means you could join me?” Maya asked, not as flirty as usual, just needing to have her girlfriend close.
“Mmm, let me think...” Carina faked doubting her answer “As the snacks and everything are already set up, I think I can make the effort to join you” she added jokingly.
“Glad to know spending time with me is an effort, Dr. De Luca, how kind of you to let me know it!” she exclaimed, trying to sound offended.
“Well, that's the only effort I'm never gonna complain about, Captain Bishop.” she reiterated, in order to keep the mood light and easy, wishing to cheer Maya up a little.
“Mmm, that's a pretty good point, I have to admit” the blonde grinned softly, wrapping her arm around the Italian's waist, heading to the bathroom.
While they were showering, they were standing under the hot water, next to each other, Carina gently stroking Maya's hair, “Promise me” the blonde said, out of the blue “that you won't leave me”.
It caught the Italian off guard, but she immediately replied “Of course, I promise bella. Why would you think so?” she whispered, turning Maya's face towards her so that they were facing each other.
“The call, today... I couldn't help but think about you: that couple, their lives turned upside down in the blink of an eye... I can't lose you” her voice cracked.
“And you won't bambina, ever “ Carina knew she couldn't make promises, because life is unpredictable, but she felt the urge to reassure Maya and she truly believed her own words “Come here”.
They stood there, hugging each other until Maya's breath started slowing down. When they got out of the shower, hands still intertwined, they quickly got ready and within 15 minutes, the doorbell rang. “Hi Andy! Hi Vic! Hi...ehm...Michelle? Did I get it right?” Carina greeted warmly.
“Yeah, you're right!” Michelle smiled back “thanks for having me over without warning.” she added, looking around, trying to spot where Maya was.
Andy noticed her and gave her a look, before walking towards Carina and asking if her friend was okay, receiving a slight nod from the Italian.
A few seconds later, Maya walked into the living room, going straight to where Carina was standing, near the sofa, pressing a kiss on her cheek, looking at her with heart eyes.
“Oh C'mon guys, you're too cheesy. I can't with you two” Vic shouted, making everyone laugh.
“Shut up Hughes, or I'll kick your ass at the karaoke contest later, and also you don't want to be on toilet duty for next week, do you?” the blonde reiterated, raising her eyebrows.
“See?” Vic said raising her hands, looking at Carina “she is like that with EVERYONE.  She's an aggressive pitbull with us, then with you... it turns out she's a little puppy. What kind of black magic is this???” the younger firefighter added teasingly “And anyway, that's abuse of power, Cap.”
Carina couldn't help but laugh and so did Maya, even though she didn't wait to tease back “Good call Hughes. Two weeks on toilet duty, you're welcome.” she stated, getting a groan as a response.
“Ok, something is telling me that it's going to be a loooong night” Andy said, walking towards the table “Can we eat something, I'm starving!” she continued, picking up some bags she had brought with drinks and homemade tacos.
“These tacos smell soo good” Carina stated, helping Andy to serve the food, while Vic and Maya were setting up the TV, the audio and the sofa for the contest.
“Michelle prepared them, it's my tía's special recipe” she explained, inviting Michelle to join them.
“Oh thank you” You didn't have to!” Carina said “I'm sure they taste amazing.”
“I really hope so” Michelle shyly smiled “So...you are an OB/GYN at Grey Sloan?” she asked, out of curiosity.
“Yep, I've been working there for three years now.” Carina replied “It's an amazing job: every life is worth every problem you may run into, all the cryings and the misunderstandings” she continued, thinking about Teddy's child, Amelia's and all the other babies she was able to bring into this world. “What about you?” she asked back.
“Well, I'm a bit of a mess right now” she chuckled “at first, when Andy joined the academy, I wanted to do the same, especially when I heard about some friends of hers who were really hot, but I gave up before even sending my application, I wasn't cut out for the job.” she admitted “So I started dancing again and now I'm giving salsa classes for little kids, but it doesn't pay off for the effort. Kids are exhausting!”.
“I see your point, they are often hyperactive!” the Italian added “but I love dancing! A friend of mine has a school and I know she's looking for staff, if you want, I can talk to her about you!” she offered kindly, not catching the hint about the “hot friends” which actually was only about Maya.
“Are you serious??” she almost shouted “That would be amazing!!”
“Yes, I am!” she laughed “I'll talk to her tomorrow and let you know!”.
“Thank you Carina, you made my day.” Michelle stated, a wide grin on her face.
“What's all this euphoria about?” Andy asked, pretty confused.
“Carina just told me that her friend is looking for qualified staff for her dance school, and it may mean no more crying kids” she answered, still a bit shocked.
“Oh and no more me hearing about your complains! That would be revolutionary” she joked “This needs a cheer”.
“What needs a cheer?” Maya and Vic asked together, walking towards the kitchen.
“Your girlfriend is an angel” Andy declared “and I'm starting to think she has magic powers for real.”
“I told you!! She's from an outer world” Vic added vehemently, getting looks from Maya and Andy “Ok, that sounded a little bit too aggressive but you got the point! Anyway, I'm up for the cheer!”.
“So am I, even though I'm slightly confused” Maya admitted, walking to Carina and wrapping her arm around her “but I know your special powers so, I've no doubts it's well deserved” she whispered, making Carina blush and turn towards her.
“I love you” she whispered back, leaving a kiss on Maya's lips, as if they were alone in their bubble, but that didn't last for too long.
“Nope, not again under my salad.” Vic stated, pulling Maya away towards the couch “We have to play, but if you're in this mode we won't even start”.
“Just... out of curiosity: which mode are you talking about?” Maya furrowed her eyebrow.
“Are you seriously asking me that? You only have two: the “Bad bitch” mode or “the simp” one. I guess you'll figure it out on you're own which one I was talking about”.
“You're risking a lot tonight Hughes” Andy chuckled, knowing her friend.
“I'm speaking facts and you know that Herrera” Vic said, matter of fact.
After having some food and a few drinks so that everyone was a little tipsy, but still almost sober, they got settled in the couch and Vic explained the rules.
“So, the game works like this: Andy will be the judge and she will pick the songs. As soon as one of us knows the title, we have to get up and the first one who does it must say the title, the singers and sing a little part of it. One point only if we get everything right. Is everything clear?” She demanded.
“Yep, but... what are the teams?” Maya asked, looking at the younger firefighter but stroking Carina's hand who was sitting next to her.
“Oh yes, I had forgotten. Carina and I will be together, so Maya and Michelle, you two make the other team.”  Vic added.
“Wait, what? Why?” Maya groaned disappointed, causing Carina to laugh.
“Because we need you active and present, and if you're in the same team as Carina, you won't definitely be that.” Andy teased.
“Fine” Maya mumbled “Michelle: we have to win!”
“You bet!” Michelle immediately replied, squeezing the blonde's arm with no reason, causing Carina to crinkle her nose.
“You ready? 3...2...1...”
Music playing (Blank Space)
As soon as the first words were sang, Maya stood up and shouted “Me, me, I know it.”
“Ok, title and singer. Then you have to sing a part which is not the refrain”. Andy stated.
“Blank Space, by Taylor Swift.” she answered fiercely and then started to sing as a teenager driving in her car in the middle of the night “And I know you heard about me, So hey, let's be friends I'm dying to see how this one ends, Grab your passport and my hand...”
“Ok, ok, I got it, you know the song!” Andy laughed at her friend's enthusiasm, glad she was feeling better.
“Sorry, I got carried away” Maya admitted, turning to look at Carina, who was there, looking back at her with a loving smile.
“Ok, 1-0 for Maya and Michelle.” Andy remarked, making Vic groan. “Let's go with another one...”
Music playing (I like it)
Within a second, Michelle got up and started moving around “No me esperaba un golpe tan bajo prima” she said, starting to sing along with the song which she was weirdly used to listening to every time she broke up “I like it by Cardi B”
“That's not fair, what's all this camaraderie?” Vic mumbled “ you're the judge!!”
“I just wanted to piss you off a little” Andy chuckled “Anyway, 2-0 for Maya and Michelle”.
“Carina, we can't let them win!! I want you to be the most competitive you've ever been in your life!” Vic said, almost commanding it.
“Yes, I promise we'll win! I'm ready to kick asses” Carina stated, causing Maya to laugh a little.
“Here we go with the third one...” Andy said.
Music playing (she looks so perfect)
On the first note, Carina jumped off the couch “ It's She looks so perfect by 5SOS”, and she continued, screaming to the top of her lungs from the very first second until the refrain came “She looks so perfect standing there, In my American Apparel underwear, And I know now, that I’m so down, Your lipstick stain is a work of art, I’ve got your name tattooed in an arrow heart, And I know now, that I’m so doooooown”.
While singing, she got closer to Maya, feeling every word she was saying, causing the blonde to blush before she pulled her in for a soft kiss and a gentle stroking on her chin.
“Ok, ok, I'm not gonna complain because you got us the point but please come back to this world, cause we're still 2-1 for them, the judge is impartial and we need to win” Vic said, pulling Carina back towards her seat.
“Sorry, I got carried away too.” Carina admitted sheepishly, probably alcohol inhibiting all of her composure.
“Yep, you two should walk around with stones on your feet, you get carried away a little too often” the younger firefighter mumbled.
“Competitive Vic is quite a pain in the neck” Andy teased “not the normal one is something so different though”. Vic faked to get offended before Andy picked the fourth song.
Music playing (Chicago, All that jazz)
All of them were looking at each other confused, but Vic immediately got up and started dancing “Start the car, I know a whoopee spot, Where the gin is cold, But the piano's hot. It's just a noisy hall,Where there's a nightly brawl, And all that jaaaaaazz!”
“It's All that jazz from the musical Chicago by Catherine Zeta Jones” Vic shouted, out of breath “C'mon guys, you don't know it?????”
“I heard it but I didn't remember the title” Maya admitted “Anyway, how about the camaraderie now?? You're the only one which is into musical sooo...” she groaned.
“I guess now we're even.” Vic nonchalantly claimed.. “We can do it Carina!”
“You're unbelievable” Maya mumbled, before the fifth song started playing.
Music playing (Mirrors)
Before Michelle could get up, Carina was already singing, Vic already celebrating for the point while the Italian was once again getting closer to Maya, who this time was whispering the lyrics together with her girlfriend, not caring about the lost point.
“I don't wanna lose you now, I'm looking right at the other half of me, the vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold.” they both sang together, lightly swinging from side to side, with Maya's head buried in Carina's neck getting an “AWW” from Andy and the usual groan from Vic, who was secretly enjoying the scene which actually looked like a film.
“It's Mirrors by Justin Timberlake anyway”. Carina said, wanting to be correct.
After a few minutes, everyone got back in their seat, after deciding Andy should just opt for the shuffle play.
“3-2 for Carina and Vic now” Andy remarked. “Ready?”
Music playing (Numb)
Vic and Michelle gave each other a look, the song playing not really their genre and also Andy seemed pretty confused. Carina knew the song but was too worried checking in on Maya's reaction that she didn't even think about getting up to get the point.
Maya downplayed it very well, trying to keep the mood light so after saying that it was Numb, by Linking Park, she started singing as if she was at a concert. Nobody but Carina noticed the change in her eyes and with the excuse of having a little pause before continuing, she took Maya's hand and brought her to their bedroom.
“Hey bambina, are you okay? I know how much that song means for you...” Carina asked gently, caressing Maya's face.
“Yeah, I'm okay, it was just a moment, it hit me a little, but I'm okay, I promise” Maya admitted, looking down, searching for Carina's left hand.
Carina knew it was the song Maya used to listen to every day when she became aware of her father abusive behavior, she knew how much all the words showed how bad Maya was hurting and that even though she had come a long way, scars could easily start bleeding again.
“Come here” the Italian said, hugging the blonde as tight as she could, knowing that it would give her the comfort she needed.
“I love you so much” Maya said, pulling Carina in for another lingering kiss.
“I love you too”, she whispered back against her lips, before kissing her again.
Within few seconds, they were back in the living room, Vic giving Maya an annoyed look.
“What??” Maya asked.
“You're trying to bribe my teammate!!” Vic shouted, causing Maya to mumble.
“Maya, we need to win!! If we do, I promise I'll bring more tacos the next time!” Michelle said, taking Maya by the hand and pulling her towards her seat. Maya didn't even notice the little flirt, but Carina surely did and she didn't like it at all, but she didn't want to make a scene so she just started cursing the woman internally.
“Ok, 3-3...here we go” Andy reestablished the order.
Music playing (Born this way)
As it was hard to find a straight person in that house, they all got up but the very first one was paradoxically Vic, who even started dancing with the exact steps. “Born this way by the Queen of Queens, Lady Gaga” She shouted, in a very Travis' way, as she kept on singing it.
“What kind of joke is this?” Maya teased “You're the only straight person in here and you just stole our hymn!! That's not fair!!”.
“Take it up with Travis. This is the soundtrack to his workout sessions everyday, so I know every single note of this song” she admitted proudly “I think people could actually believe I'm Lady Gaga if it wasn't for the height difference” she joked.
“Oh yeah, because height is the only difference” Maya teased “Hughes, I love your naivete, it's so cute!” she added.
“Bishop, fuck you” Vic reiterated, throwing a cushion at her friend.
“Ok, it's getting serious now. 4-3 for Carina and Vic: these are the last two songs. Maya and Michelle, if you win this, there's the final battle”. Andy declared.
“We're ready” Maya replied, on the edge of the couch.
Music playing (Dura)
As soon as the music started playing, Vic understood it was some raeggeton music which she didn't know at all but Michelle undoubtedly would. In fact, within two seconds, the Latina got up, shouting “It's Dura, by Daddy Yankee” and started singing, probably a little too tipsy. “Cuando yo la vi, Dije, si esa mujer fuera para mí, Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir, 'Tás dura, dura”
While singing she got closer and closer to Maya, looking at her like she was addressing those words to her, but Maya didn't even seem to care or understand what was going on. In the meantime, Carina was watching the scene, trying hard to contain herself, before she heard Michelle whispering something in Spanish to Andy.
“Si no fuera que ella está con Carina, ya le habría pedido que tengamos una cita...esta tía esta demasiado buena. Deberías habérmela presentado antes prima: os conocéis desde la academia, no me lo puedo creer”.
Carina was pretty fluent in Spanish, so she understood everything: all she wanted to do was telling Michelle to stay the hell away from her girlfriend, but what she did instead was showing that Maya wasn't going anywhere.
While the music was still playing, she got up and sat on Maya's lap, starting to dance in a very flirty way: the blonde was now more than alert and she couldn't help but smile at the Italian, gently caressing her back and kissing her neck. If it wasn't for Vic again, they had (at least Maya) completely forgotten they weren't alone.
“What was that for?” Maya asked grinning to Carina.
“Nothing, just a little reminder” Carina smirked before kissing the blonde and then going back to her seat.
“This is the last song, I want you to be extremely concentrated” Andy stated in a serious tone.
“We got this” Vic said “We have to win” she added, talking to Carina.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Carina replied, sitting on the edge.
For this last song, Andy decided to take a little revenge on Maya: as she had won their last Taboo game, she wanted to give Carina and Vic a little help to get their last point and win the competition. She opted for an Italian song, but little did she know Maya had improved a lot...
Music playing (Anche fragile)
It was a fraction of second: Maya was already up, the lyrics hadn't even started but she had already said the title “It's an Italian song, it's Anche Fragile by Elisa”.
Andy and Vic were shocked, but not Carina, as it was her favorite song and she used to play it on repeat on their nights together, so she knew that Maya would have recognized it.
“Well, you have to sing it or you won't get the point” Andy declared, sure that her friend couldn't bring her self to speak a word of that “weird” language.
Carina chuckled knowing that Maya would have probably messed up all the words, but instead, she was caught off guard, as the blonde started singing it.
“Tienimi su quando sto per cadere, tu siediti qui parlami ancora se non ho parole, Io non te lo chiedo mai, ma portami al mare, a ballare...”  
Everyone's eyes were wide open at the unexpected event that had just happened and the Italian couldn't believe it either.
“Bella, you learned it!” she said, still a little moved from the gesture.
“Yes, I learned the whole song actually” she confessed, blushing a little.
“Thank you” Carina said grinning, pulling Maya in for a soft kiss.
“Ok Bishop, I must admit: you deserved it” Vic admitted, raising her hands “you practically sang a song in Italian, that was awesome! And it also shows how much of a simp you are!” Vic couldn't help but teasing.
“Shut up, Hughes” Maya shouted, throwing back at her the cushion from before.
“Oh crap, it's almost Midnight and I had said to Robert I would have been home by 23. I think we should go!” Andy said, picking up her stuff “Thank you girls, for everything, it was good fun and I really enjoyed it!” she added, heading towards the door.
“Yep, so did I, despite knowing that my Cap will put me on toilet duty only because I speak facts about how in love she is with her super hot Italian girlfriend” Vic teased again, getting a little smack from Maya “No, apart from joking, it was awesome! We have to do this again”.
“I'll think about it, very carefully” Maya teased back.
“Thank you for everything, really. Especially you Carina, about the work” Michelle said, making Carina to force a little smile “And thank you Maya, it was very nice getting to see you again” she added, caressing Maya's hand.
Before waving them goodbye, that's when Carina thought she should make things a little bit clearer: “Lo siento mucho, pero quería decirte que Maya ya tiene novia, así que deja tu alma en paz y empieza a buscar a otra chica. Sé que es muy guapa, pero también sé que es mi novia y quisiera que tu también no te olvidaras de eso. Entendido?” [I'm really sorry, but I wanted you to know that Maya has already a girlfriend. So, just give it up and start looking for someone else. I know she's hot, but I also know she's my girlfriend and I'd like that you didn't forget about it either. Got it?]
As those words let her mouth, Michelle's jaw dropped and completely embarrassed, she reached Andy who was waiting for her with Vic in the car.
When Carina closed the door, she turned around and she saw a very confused Maya staring at her: “So you know Spanish??” she asked.
“A little, I studied it at high-school and kept on practicing it with TV series” she explained.
“And why were you talking to Andy's cousin in Spanish” Maya asked again, still not figuring out what was going on.
“I just wanted to make things clearer and I thought it was the best way” she said, walking towards the blonde and wrapping her arms around her waist.
“And what did you need to get across that well that couldn't be said in English?” Maya chuckled, putting her arm around Carina's neck.
“Maya, you didn't notice, did you?” Carina wondered, laughing a little.
“Notice what?” Maya asked, now more confused than ever.
“She was flirting with you!! And I also heard her talking to Andy about you in Spanish, but unluckily to her, I understood everything”. She explained.
“Wait, really???” Maya couldn't believe it. She didn't acknowledged it at all, too busy admiring Carina.
“Yes, so I just wanted to let her know that she better stays away from you, if her intentions are flirting all the time!” Carina groaned jealously, making Maya laugh.
“Oh so, someone is jealous... it could be a good thing...” Maya smirked “anyway, you only preserved hr from putting effort in something she couldn't achieve. I'm madly in love with you and you only.” she continued, more softly.
“That's a good thing too.” Carina smiled brightly, resting her head on Maya's neck and pulling her closer to steal her one more kiss.
As soon as they pulled away from the kiss to catch some air, Maya whispered something that made Carina's heart skip a beat.
“E non nasconderti con le battute, non mi sconcentrare, Stiamo a vedere dove possiamo arrivare E ridiamo insieme che ridiamo sempre, sempre, sempre”
“I thought you only learned it by heart” Carina said, eyes getting watery but the will to smile much stronger than the one to cry.
“I learned it so that I could understand all the words and why it meant so much to you” Maya admitted, Carina's smile growing wider and wider.
“And I also wanted you to know another thing...” Maya added.
“Tell me” Carina replied, moved and curious at the same time.
“You know that line that goes “Senza tutta questa fretta mi ameresti davvero?” she asked, and after getting a light nod in approval, she went on “Well, the answer is yes, I'd love you even if the world would never come to an end, 'cause I'll never get tired of loving you.”
“Bella I-” Carina tried to speak, but her voice cracked a little “You're amazing. You're probably the best thing that has ever happened to me.” she added.
“Probably?” Maya asked, furrowing her eyebrows, trying to sound offended.
“Yes, because I know that what we can make together, our story, our love, will always get better, day by day. Us is definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me” Carina explained, caressing the blonde's jaw.
“Mmm... you get away with it for tonight Dr. De Luca” Maya teased.
“Did I?” Carina teased back.
“Yeah, even though I think that, as it is midnight, we should start making the best of our next day from its very beginning” Maya smirked.
“Well, if you put it that way...” Carina grinned, pulling Maya towards their bedroom, knowing that she would always find the solution to every doubt and fear of hers in those deep blue eyes, that spoke nothing but unconditional love, which she was wholeheartedly willing to reciprocate.
