#'oh yeah we're fucking six ways to sunday?'

thinking about the 'I would never court Penelope Featherington' scene again and how angry our fandom has been at Colin for it for the last two years and wondering. . .what exactly was he meant to say?
Lord Fife and his friends are *slimy*. They are gross. They have 0 respect for women. Fife isn't *Colin's* friend. Fife is *Anthony's* friend. Fife runs in Anthony's circles. Misogynistic circles with misogynistic language. Fife and Co. are out here saying the debutantes are only good for being 'wed, bed, and bred'. Fife is the one out here, well into his 30s and with an established title, fucking an 18 year woman raw on her first year out in the marriage mart with 0 intention to marry her. That is 10000% an act of violence in this society. And you *know* he's bragging about it. Hell, he was probably bragging about it right before he asked Colin about Penelope.
Colin's not in those circles. Colin has female friends. Colin respects his mother. Colin cares for his sisters. The worst thing Colin has EVER said about a woman was to call her 'cruel'.
So. . .what is Colin meant to say? "No, we're just friends" isn't going to fly for people like Fife. As IF he wouldn't reply with 'Yeah, suuuuuure, wink wink nudge nudge'. Thus ruining Penelope and fucking over her future completely. A lesser man than Colin would have let them think what they wanted, and that would have still ruined Penelope in their eyes. Silence? Incriminating.
And he doesn't want FIFE of all people to know about his close friendship with Penelope. Fife who has never once been seen respecting a woman. Fife who has never once viewed a woman as a person and not a sexual conquest. Penelope is a safe place for Colin. Is precious to him. He KNOWS that conversation could have destroyed her reputation.
People talk about how he 'ruined her prospects', but in actuality, Colin responding the way he did. . .likely SAVED her prospects. There was NOTHING he could have said except for a vehement refusal, completely shutting down the conversation, that would have spared her from their judgement and cruelty. Sure, they laughed, and maybe it was at Pen. Maybe it was at Colin. (frankly, how good of a twist would it be if they WERE laughing at Colin? Colin the 'green' boy back from his travels after being oh so gullible and getting lied to by his ex fiance? Anthony made fun of Colin for being a virgin, we think these men, all 10+ years older than him, wouldn't do the same?) But at least they didn't go 'yeah, I guess she's a ruined woman' about it, because that *would* have destroyed her reputation
We talk about how Colin could have worded it differently, but honestly?
I think he said the exact right thing in those circumstances
#polin#penelope featherington#colin bridgerton#bridgerton#lord fife#lord cho#fife and company are so gross to me i do NOT understand the narrative of fife just wanting pen for himself#she's a little too old for him at this point considering he's looking for his girlfriend on a playground don't you think?#sorry not sorry i will forever be a colin apologist#no but really what should he have said????#'oh yeah we're fucking six ways to sunday?'#'no she's just my friend'? - Fife doesn't believe for a MOMENT that a man can value a woman as a friend#colin is the best man in that entire bunch but somehow he's the one we've demonized?#make it make sense#and sure he should apologize for talking about her behind her back- but Penelope should also then apologize for the same#we talk a lot about him being 'knocked off the pedestal' but in reality we've put him on the highest pedestal possible#colin is a GOOD man#he is arguably the best man in the entire series#at least he's the man with the best intentions and the least harm#and so when he fucks up we feel it ten fold because he was already so good#but when gross dudes fuck up we just expect it of them and give them a pass#we expect colin to not only be better- but to be perfect#and he isn't he can't be#he didn't say it perfectly#but OBVIOUSLY his intentions in that scene aren't malicious#and it's not locker room talk either?#look at the optics: Colin is 22 being asked by these 30+ year old dudes 'sooooo are you boinking the girl'?#one season after his engagement blew up publicly#in the season where no one listens to his travel stories#the season after he was virgin shamed

Hi recently I read a fic called Bat Thirst, I was wondering if you knew any fic similar to that, if you have the time of course
This is the fic Anon Named:
'Bat Thirst' by SolaceInSpace
Flash gaped, closing and opening his mouth like a fish. “Whoever was watching just now, Lantern is a lying liar and what he said was not true. Batman is ug-, ugu-…uuuahh, ahem, ugly. Hahah, yep. That mask of his? It’s not the protect his identity. It’s to protect our eyes.”
“Yeah, to protect them from being blinded by his beauty.” Green Lantern shoved Flash’s hands away and chimed in with another teasing comment. “Did you know, half our meetings go overtime because everyone’s too distracted looking at Bats’ jawline?”
“Lantern! Do you seriously want Batman to break his only rule?!”
“What? You’re the one who couldn’t tell a convincing lie and call Batman ugly.”
“Well, would you lie and say the sky is green? And the grass is blue?” Flash clapped back only to realise what he said and covered his own mouth in horror.
Green Lantern cackled in delight. “The sky is blue, grass is green, Bats is hot. The three fundamental truths in the world.”
“You- ARGHH! You clean this mess! When Batman confronts you, I’m going to cheer him on because whatever he does, you’ll deserve it!”
Green Lantern smirked. “Any time spent with that man is time well spent.”
Hal is an idiot. The humor in Bat Thirst is similar to this one:
'Person of Interest' by batsy_rocks
And then he blinked, a frown quickly forming on his face. Was Batman smiling right now? What the hell?
"You don't think I can do it, huh? Well, Spooky, let me tell you I can fuck Wayne six ways to Sunday if I fucking want to!"
"That's enough!" Superman called in a firm, commanding tone just as Hal was about to lunge across the table to wipe the infuriating smirk off the fucker's face. "What you do or don't do is your business, Lantern, but this is not the place to discuss it. We're here to talk about serious matters, like Luthor and the threat he poses."
Hal shot another glare at Batman before settling back on his chair with a scowl. He'll show him. He'll show the fucker he could do whatever or whoever the fuck he wanted.
He just needed to think of a way to get close to Wayne first.
My mind imeditly jumped to this SuperBat fic as well:
'Look Before You Leap' by rotasha
“And who can blame you?” the host remarked brightly. “You may not be looking for love, but maybe you can weigh in on the question everyone seems to have an opinion on: Who’s the best-looking member of the Justice League?”
“Superman?” Diana said, grabbing Clark’s attention. He dimly registered that the host had asked him the same question as Diana, about who was the best-looking member of the Justice League.
Clark was distracted. All his experience and training, all the years he’d been a journalist and a part-time celebrity, went flying out the window and he answered without thinking, “Oh, Batman.”
The ensuing silence was a beat too long before the host recovered. Long enough for Clark to realize his mistake. Long enough for Bruce to disappear from the rafters, his heartbeat fading from Clark’s immediate range of hearing. Fuck.

what is a parental apologist??? sorry not trying to be rude
OH I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THIS ASK FJAKS HELLO YES MY APOLOGIES
Basically, I've got a whole hangup about youth rights, and have the mindset that everything about the way the relationship between a parent and their child works, and by extension the way adults view and treat minors in general, is kinda inherently fucked six ways from Sunday. ¯⁠\⁠_😅_⁠/⁠¯ A parental apologist is someone who thinks the parent-child dynamic as it stands is fundamentally good, or anyone advocating for "parental rights," which I kinda see as the antithesis of human rights tbh
Explanation below the cut, but like most things I say on the internet, it's long-winded and hard to read JFLASLSL
(and yeah, don't worry anon! you're fine lmao I made the thing in bio sound kinda vague in hindsight BFKWJZ)
Just looking at the parent-child relationship (or at least the standardized nuclear family model), I'm just gonna list some qualities a normal, healthy relationship between two adult human beings typically is supposed to have:
- Mutual communication
- Mutual trust
- Equality
- Mutual respect
- Freedom to make one's own decisions independent of the other partner
In the typical (nuclear) parent-child dynamic:
- Parents generally manipulate their children using lies (e.g. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, etc.), informational manipulation (like the kind we're seeing being called for by parental roghts groups to promote the censorship of schools and their books), refusing to give reasoning for their behaviour but demanding that their children do, etc.
- If a parent violates a child's trust, the child has exactly zero recourse, and no choice but to continue putting their lives and all their needs into the hands of the parent. The parent can't really rely on the child for everything either, since there's just so much someone in a kid's position is able to do for an adult. The adult's the one that's supposed to be providing, after all. In the nuclear family, parents are left to both care for themselves, their careers, their household, each other, and their kids all on their own, with no real support to be found outsode each other. In that way, the parent-child relationship is unfair to both the child and the adult.
- Equality... yeah, there's nothing about the parent-child relationship based in it. Skipping this one JDKAJD
- If the child doesn't respect the parent (as an authority), then the parent doesn't respect the child (as a human being). And then the parent may not respect the child as a human being anyway. Either way, this difference in what "respect" means for each party constitutes a lack of mutual respect for sure 💀
- The parent makes all the decisions. Children aren't allowed to make any. Any that the child is allowed to make is more the parent's choice than the kid's.
So the parent-kid relationship is built on literally the opposite of anything that would be a healthy (or even non-abusive) relationship between anyone else, and yet people still argue and believe that this isn't an inherently abusive relationship the same second one of the relevant parties is a minor. I'm highkey bitter about it HFKWHDJSJ
Disclaimer: I have yet to witness communal childrearing among other cultures, so I can't really offer any other point of comparison for nuclear family dynamics v.s. communal family dynamics 🤡👍

part 1 and part 2 (this is part 3 bc i have no self restraint)
ok so after the celty talk earthworm starts talking about how izaya's been having celty talk to both heaven's slave and gather information on amphisbaena lately
and by the time we see him he's actually stopped responding to everything - earthworm even says "looks like your kid sisters are here" izaya doesnt move, nor does he react when she threatens to set him on fire, or even when heaven's slave storms the building
it's just interesting idk. maybe it's showing how things are starting to go how he's predicted, maybe he's just tired of the whole nervous act, maybe he got bored of all the water getting poured on him and fell asleep lmfaoskghkfd
Tumblr media
and then we get THIS guy coming in a voice filter and automatically you're like wait maybe THAT's izaya?? it must be izaya right??
and the voice starts talking like hey. what do the leaders of heaven's slave (mr. kumoi) and amphisbaena (lizard) have in common. they both have moles under their eyes teehee! and now for the man under the bag -
Tumblr media
AND THIS IS SUCH A GOOD PSYCHE OUT CUZ IT'S LIKE BROOOOOO IF YOU JUST TIED UP YOUR LEADER YOU'RE FUCKED SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY
Tumblr media
earthworm seems to think so too
Tumblr media
and so does this guy (i have no clue what his name is sorry)
Tumblr media
and finally when the HS guy says "i'm gonna cut the knot" does izaya react (there can't be a switchblade scene without izaya in it. he needs to have the spotlight)
Tumblr media
and we hear his voice finally!! and it IS izaya (hiroshi kamiya i could sense you from a mile away)
and yeah what WERE you about to do man?? that was NOT the rope you were aiming for
Tumblr media
and the tension here is inSANE like this is so theatrical and dramatic that im convinced izaya was kicking his legs in his bed like a schoolgirl thinking about how funny it was going to be
Tumblr media Tumblr media
god he's so hot i mean what no
he rehearsed this in the bathroom mirror for sure he's such a fucking loser
Tumblr media
and he's so casual about it too while the other two were having a breakdown :sob: he KNOWS what he was doing
Tumblr media
he has no right to look so cute in this shot
Tumblr media
and the voice filtered phone guy was this dude?? it's like aoba's older brother izumii right or something i dont remember lmAO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and after effectively scaring the ever-loving shit out of them he's like. didnt i do it for u :3
Tumblr media
god he's hilarious i legitimately might watch through all of durarara again just to watch him fuck around and everyone else find out
Tumblr media
oh here he fucking goes again he's so cringe
Tumblr media
look at his fucking face. he's enjoying himself so much right now this is literally his playground
Tumblr media
oh no way he got saika in on this what the hell
Tumblr media
izaya: i'm not your enemy!! i'm just here to observe!!
also izaya: it's hammer time izumii
asking a literal love parasite to interrogate someone for you is like the most "do you have any sense of self preservation" thing ever except izaya actually has such a strong sense of self preservation that he's practically untouchable
case in point:
Tumblr media
now see he wasn't surprised by this one at all even though he was still in the middle of talking lmfao
i mean haruna is just naturally offputting so i think anyone would always need to have their guard up around her
the clang of the knives is always so satisfying ugh ive watched this like five times
Tumblr media
smug ass
Tumblr media
tfw a crazy girl just tries to stab you in the eye and this is your response
Tumblr media
and we're back with shiki at last!! im sure the information extracted from earthworm was really important or the amphisbaena-heaven's slave connection will be important in future episodes but like
this episode felt like a really self-contained "day in the life of orihara izaya" and i love it actually
Tumblr media Tumblr media
izaya, saying this, having just manipulated like three different gangs into doing his bidding:
Tumblr media
motherfucker stop being so attractive
i hate his cat smile bro
is this what shizuo feels like
Tumblr media
bottom behavior /j
Tumblr media Tumblr media
shiki looking at him like. um. what. okay??
his expressions here feel a lot more subdued and less smirky than usual though which would seem to indicate a bit of truth to that?? which is strange but i guess he likes being in cahoots with the mafia because it gives him constant contact with the darkest sides of humanity
this was a very izaya-centric episode i dont know if there's any more like this but i will absolutely watch the shit out of them if there are so please tell me of them
Tumblr media
and of course we have to end off with shizaya because yes
holy shit look at the length of izaya's leg though what the hell thats some code geass ass legs
is there any ending where shizuo and izaya arent fighting actually?? i feel like there is but i desperately want there not to be lmfaosdgjsjghsdk
ty for reading my live react to durarara x2 ten episode 8 i guess??? i wasnt planning on doing this but izaya gave me no choice in the matter

September Sky Chapter Three, Part 1
It was well past one in the afternoon when I finally woke up. It was Sunday, which happened to be my main day off. I was technically off Tuesdays too, but a lot of times I went in and did inventory and other stuff that pertains to the kitchen, but just doesn't really ever seem to get done.
I stretched in my bed. That kind of satisfying stretches that seems to pull apart your limbs. My pack of cigarettes lay on the floor next to my laptop. I grabbed the half-empty pack and headed out the front door.
I lit a cigarette and sank into the couch. It was nice out. Warm and sunny with long wispy clouds that looked like strands of spider web. Riverwest was awake and in full motion. On days like this, it was awake all day. I really didn't see that many cars drive down my street, but the sidewalks were a different story. People walked, some holding hands, some holding leashes. Joggers and runners made there way in between the people, zigzagging though. Sometimes, I just sat on the porch all day and watched it happen. Even after having living in the city this long, somethings still struck me with awe.
Once my cigarette ended up burning my finger, because I wasn't paying attention, I tossed it into the coffee can and headed inside, figuring out what to do. Since I really had today off, I liked to find something rather than just sit in my room all day. I may not have been social, but I would still go out and do things. I just did them alone. I was always that quiet guy at the end of the bar, by himself, as some punk band plays on a half-built stage.
I sat down on my mattress and leaned against the wall behind me. I grabbed my laptop and loaded up Facebook, searching to see if there was anything going on in the Riverwest area. I found something right away, a punk bar/club was hosting a show tonight. I liked the place it was at, Dimes. I didn't recognize any of the bands, but that never bothered me. I'll support local music until the day I die. Doors open at six and the first of three bands goes on at seven. I had plenty of time before it began.
The notification sound scared me and a message popped up on my screen.
CHAD: What's up?
CHRIS: Not much, just woke up.
CHAD: Sunday. Sounds about right.
CHRIS: Haha. What's going on with you?
CHAD: Waiting for Amy to get here.
Amy was this really cool death metal, hippy, stoner chick. When I lived in Oconomowoc she was the unofficial third party to me and Chad. We spent plenty of nights, closing the bar only to find ourselves at someone's apartment, drinking more. Chad had developed feelings for her during that period, and it had always seemed like it wasn't one-sided. Another one of those stupid will they, won't they situation.
CHRIS: Oh cool. Tell her I say hi. How are things going with that?
CHAD: Same. Confusing. Frustrating.
CHRIS: Aren't you guys with each other every day anyway?
CHAD: Yeah, pretty much. We see each other every day. We're always doing shit together. And I still don't know what the fuck we are.
CHRIS: That sucks. I mean you guys are basically dating.
CHAD: Yeah, I guess. How's things going with Addison?
CHRIS: She accepted my friend request.
CHAD: That's all you've got? Dude, you need to call her.
CHRIS: I haven't had time.
CHAD: Then send her a fucking message. Something. Talk to her. Call her today. No excuses. Do it. God, you're dumb. This is good for you.
CHRIS: Or really fucking bad.

Queenie!!! The prompt list were so good that I think I will "spam" you with different prompt!! If I'm allowed,of course!xD
The first two are from the Bed Sharing Scenarios:
we have to sleep on the forest ground, so everything can be the bed, but we still sleep close, because we feel too exposed
Nick&Abi
Or
we're snowed in and there is not a lot of space and heat
Chris&Ashley
Have a nice day~!♡
definitely more than six sentence sat(or)sunday!!!
The plan had looked super, super good on paper: Take a walk through the scenic (if icy) woodlands, hope that the cold would sober Josh up, and then head back to the lodge, no harm no foul. Foolproof!
Just not…just not Joshproof.
Ashley stood in front of the guest cabin’s front window, her palms going numb with cold as she held them on the sill. The very last ray of the sun sank below the trees as she watched, her front teeth gnawing her lower lip raw. “It’s way too dark,” she sighed, hanging her head. Slowly but surely, a perfect darkness began to sweep its way through the Pines’s many…pines, the shadows lengthening until they bled into one another, covering the world around them with a thick blanket of night. “We’d never make it back to the lodge in this…”
“I mean…to be fair, I sorta told you this would happen.” Frowning at the matches in his hand, Chris muttered a few additional words under his breath and kept trying to light the damn fire. The movies made it look so easy, but when your firewood had been sitting out in the snow for God-knew-how-long and your book of matches was from the mid-to-late 60’s, there just wasn’t anything easy about it.
“You’re not helping, oh my gosh.”
“I-I’m pretty sure getting this started is helping, Ash. I—aha!” Finally, the match caught. He cupped his other hand around the flame as he brought it to the grate of the fireplace, only pulling away once he’d reached the stack of logs. It poked disinterestedly at the wood for a few seconds, that dumb flame, crawling closer and closer to his fingers…before an itsy-bitsy bit took, the fireplace beginning to fill with thin wisps of smoke. It was better than it’d been ten minutes ago, he’d give himself that. “Truly, I am a modern Prometheus.”
If nothing else, that got Ashley to turn. She folded her arms across her chest, helpless to fight the smile playing on her lips as she cupped her elbows in her hands. “Uh huh,” she laughed, “That’s definitely what I’d call you…”
He held a single finger up to her, an admonishing pointer, keeping his eyes on the grate until the first flame flickered there. “Aw yeah! Check it!”
“I’m checking it.”
“Let there be light!”
Ashley joined him in front of the fireplace, half-squatting to get a better look. The flame in question was maybe—and oh, what emphasis there was on that word, maybe—the size of her thumb nail. Still, Chris was awfully proud of himself, so she quietly sighed through her nose before giving a polite golf clap.
“Thank you, thank you.” He feigned bowing as he stood from the (unbelievably cold) floor, jogging his weight from one leg to the other once his focus faltered enough for him to remember it was, in fact, fucking freezing in the cabin. “Know what I think?” he asked, blowing into his hands to warm them up for the time being. “I think we should go wake Josh up and make him watch this shit until it’s nice and toasty. That can be his job.”
“He is pretty good at fanning flames, so to speak…” Ashley joked, throwing a look over Chris’s shoulder towards the darkened half of the guest cabin. For a moment, she actually thought about it, jostling Josh awake and making him deal with the cold same as them. This was his fault, when you thought about it, them being stuck in the middle of the woods in the first place. If he hadn’t gotten so wasted back at the party…ugh, but she couldn’t. That wouldn’t’ve been fair. It’d been luck alone that’d gotten them all the way there in the first place, and the fact he was snoring away in the back bedroom meant he at least wasn’t puking everywhere, so…
Luckily, she and Chris didn’t share a wavelength so much as curate a whole shared mental radio station, so she didn’t need to say a word of it.
“We should probably just let him sleep it off, huh?” Chris asked, his glasses fogging with his breath.
“We should probably just let him sleep it off, yeah,” she nodded, shaking her own hands out. “Speaking of sleeping, though…what the heck are we supposed to do?”
He opened his mouth. He shut it.
He hadn’t thought about that.
Chris took his turn glancing towards the other half of the cabin, but he knew what he’d see if he poked his head into the bedroom; Josh was a starfish sleeper, spreading out until he took up every inch of whatever bed you put him in. Some people might’ve found that impressive. Right now, it was just sort of…typical.
“Uh.”
Ashley snorted a laugh. “Yeah. My thoughts exactly.” If there was any benefit of how frigging cold she was, it had to be the way it was keeping her from blushing. No question. Since their ‘foolproof’ plan had involved them heading back to the lodge before dark hit, there’d been no reason to stop and think about the logistics of the guest cabin: how small it was, how little space there was, how there was only one bed…that Josh was currently in. She dropped her head into her hands, rubbing tiredly at her face. The hike, too, they’d underestimated. None of them were what you’d call ‘outdoor people,’ much less ‘athletic’ or even ‘physically capable.’ She could’ve fallen asleep standing up just then.
The two of them stood there for a while. It was impossible to say how long ‘a while’ was, in that particular instance – outside, it was already as black as it was going to get – but by the time either of them found the will to point out the obvious, the itty-bitty fire had started crackling, having grown enough to cast the faintest light on the rug spread over the wooden floor.
“I mean,” Ashley said, trying (and failing miserably) to sound casual. “I guess all we got’s the couch, right? I don’t know about you, but like…I don’t…think the floor is going to…work.” As though to drive that point home, she dragged the toe of her boot across the rug, and a mountain of dust came with it.
“It is prime real-estate in terms of, y’know, fire-warmth,” agreed Chris, who, for the life of him, just could not stop anxiously clearing his throat. At least he could blame that much on the dust if he had to. “It’s gonna be, uh, sort of a…”
“Squeeze?”
“Yeah, a…yeah.”
“Hmm.”
They thought that one over for a moment. Then two moments. Many, many moments. The fire grew.
When she couldn’t see her breath in the air any longer, Ashley forced herself to move, knowing if she didn’t, well…they might actually fall asleep standing up. “I think there are some extra blankets in the back. I can…?”
“Oh, yeah. Sure, good idea. I’ll…lock…up. Yeah, I’ll lock up.”
“Oh, good.”
“Yeah, don’t want any bears showing up in the middle of the night, y’know.”
Something about it broke the spell that’d come over her, and Ashley rolled her eyes, jokingly nudging him with her elbow as she passed him. “Don’t even put that into the universe, oh my God, Chris!”
“What? I’m just saying! The way our luck is? It’d be a bear and a missionary. A…a mission-bear-y.”
“Ugh.”
“Try to convert us to salmon-vation.”
“Literally can’t hear you anymore,” she said, her voice going distant as she dipped into the back hall.
He latched the door and pulled the shutters on the windows just in case, doing his level best to tamp down some of the butterflies in his stomach as he circled back to the fireplace and poked at it with one of the nondescript tools kept beside it. A knot in one of the logs popped, sending a small cascade of red-orange sparks through the air, momentarily brightening the cabin.
Even though he knew good and well that it didn’t, he turned and attempted to determine whether the couch pulled out into a bed. When he was faced with the reality of the situation, that it was, in fact, just a couch, those butterflies in his guts gave escape another go.
“We’re, uh, definitely going to have to squeeze,” he said as Ashley came back, a couple of blankets hugged to her chest. “Which…I guess we established that already, but…”
“Oh. Yeah, I mean…I figured.”
“Yeah.”
“But I mean…uh. It…is pretty cold, so…”
“So…?”
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes again, knowing there was no way he wouldn’t see her doing it, and so instead just pushed one of the blankets into his arms and plunked herself down on the couch, jacket and boots and all. “So, doofus, staying close is probably, I dunno, the best plan? So we don’t freeze to death?”
“Oh.” And it was then that Chris found himself glad for the cold too, realizing what Ashley had long before him: It meant his face couldn’t go cherry-red, even though it desperately wanted to. He took the blanket from her, inspecting it carefully as she made herself comfortable on the couch. “Wait, are you insulting the warming capabilities of my fire? I know it’s not a roaring blaze or anything, but—”
“Like I said,” she cut him off, patting the spot on the couch beside her in a bid to appear more at ease with the whole thing than she actually was. “At least this way we probably won’t freeze to death.”
“Wow.”
“Probably.”
“Wowww.” Still, he sat beside her, carefully unfolding the blanket to cover as much of himself as he could. “You’re the expert, so maybe I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure when people in fanfiction have to huddle together for warmth, Ash—”
“Oh my God.”
“—neither party goes and openly insults the other’s ability to create fire. I-i-it just seems counterproductive to the huddling, know what I mean? No one wants to huddle with a—”
Acting before she could think herself out of it, Ashley hugged her blanket tightly around her, and set her head on Chris’s shoulder, pulling her legs up onto the couch with her so she could ball up against his side. She felt him go rigid beside her…and then relax just as quickly, one of his arms tentatively moving around the back of her shoulders to wrap his blanket around her as well as her own.
“It’s a fine fire, Chris,” she said after a moment, warming just enough that, yup, uh huh, there it was, she felt her cheeks begin to prickle. The fading smell of his cologne wasn’t exactly helping that. “You’re a real Cro-Magnon.”
“See? That’s all I wanted. Was that really so hard?” He set his head against hers after another moment, hoping against hope all the layers he was wearing kept her from noticing the way his heart was racing. “Now we can huddle for warmth. Just like in the fanfictions.”
Ashley sighed, but chose not to say anything to that. She closed her eyes, nestled closer against Chris’s side…and accepted that she probably wouldn’t be falling asleep anytime soon. Not with her heart going like it was.
Never once did it occur to either of them that perhaps Josh had had a plan that night too. A foolproof one, at that.
And since they were nothing if not fools, Ashley and Chris, well…it never occurred to them that they’d fallen right into it, either.
Not until they woke up the next morning tangled up in each other, the fire burnt to embers in the grate.

Season 4, Episode 6: An Extremely Chaotic and Incoherent Review
My favorite episode!!! GET READY FOR HEAD FULL MANY THOUGHTS
The Good:
"Kicks Get Chicks" *is the gayest episode in the entire season* Kicks get DICKS more like
"Sure, we're good for the occasional inspirational moment, but we're not exactly center mat material" HA, love that this fucker is self aware
He knows he's the Comic Relief Guy and he embraces it fully
"He who shall not be named" absolutely LOVE how Demetri just fucking despises Robby now but is trying to be lowkey about it so as not to stir the pot
If he could I'm pretty sure Demetri would pummel this man six ways to Sunday
Once again reminding everyone that Robby paralyzed and nearly killed Demetri's best friend, betrayed his and Demetri's dojo, and then held down and forcefully shaved Demetri's other best friend
Yeah he wants to like...murder Robby at this point honestly
I can't blame him, either--if someone fucked over my bestie, my dojo, AND my crush??? I would indeed be out for blood, yes
The way Demetri looks CRUSHED when Daniel's like "I know you're missing your friends but we have to put the past behind us" :( :( :(
He just wants his boyfriend back god bless
Wow no wonder Tory's fucked up, with an aunt like THAT
GOOD LORD
This season is kinda making me love Tory, I'll admit
I never thought I'd see the day but here we are
SIAHDZUIYVDX JOHNNY TRAINING IN A PLACE WITH BLACK MOLD
Could this man BE any more delightfully unhinged
Johnny Lawrence's dojo marketing will never NOT be hysterical
"Smack-dab between the pipe supply and the burned-down Chuck E. Cheese" SIR
"I'm asexual" WELL at least we exist on television, right???
I guess this is the queer rep we get for Season 4, RIP
YOOOOO IT'S MY GIRL MOON
"I can't do the whole physical aggression thing" Remind me again why she and ELI FREAKING MOSKOWITZ are meant to be compatible at all??? Literally what even would they talk about??? Well REGARDLESS, can't help but admire her staunch determination to be a pacifist in a high school singlehandedly spearheading the local karate wars
"She's the best athlete in school and she's not afraid to get into a fight" Okay don't get me wrong, I'm still seething over Moon and Piper breaking up, BUT I do find it absolutely HYSTERICAL that Moon apparently has a type
Even funnier that Yasmine lowkey fits her type too, which is apparently mean, cocky bitches who don't take shit from anyone
Oh SHIT, Sam catching Amanda talking to Tory??? This boutta get JUICY
OKAY HERE WE GO HERE WE GO
BASEMENT SCENE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO

Season 4, Episode 10: An Extremely Chaotic and Incoherent Review
The Good:
LISTEN
LISTEN
YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE THESE GUYS PULL OUT THE MOST APT STAR WARS PREQUEL MEMES OF ALL TIME
AND NOT THINK I'M GONNA SHIP THE SHIT OUT OF THEM
DID ELI REALLY JUST SAY DEM SHOULD PULL AN "IT'S OVER ANAKIN I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND" ON ROBBY
WITH A STRAIGHT FACE
I can't with this man
I can 100% not tell if these boys are memeing or actually taking karate advice from the Star Wars prequels but honestly??? I fucking love it either way
Dumbasses (affectionate)
ALSO the absolutely doe-eyed way Eli looks at Demetri when he says "you're taller!!" Yeah you like your men taller, don't you, short king?
Come to think of it Eli has been basically nonstop giving Demetri doe eyes all season
Maybe that's just what his face looks like?
Nah he's still kinda smug smirking at the beginning of the season
But he does become very apt at looking like a sad puppy
I swear this fucker still looks at Demetri like he hung the sun though
Ohhhhh Demetri just going RUTHLESSLY at Robby fills me with LIFE
Demetri Alexopoulos and Robby Keene mortal enemies WHEN
Still morbidly satisfying to see all that paralysis, shaving, and dojo-betraying beef explode out of my boy Demetri in one fell swoop
Oh shit!!! The head kick!!! The THROWDOWN!!! We are at last seeing a glimpsed of the unhinged Demetri I have craved for so long, keep being scary my love
DID HE JUST DO THE "COME AT ME BRO" HAND MOVEMENT
OH HE IS SO PISSED
Seeing this gay nerd be aggressive and intense as hell is ascending me into nirvana
He has found his inner craving for violence and destruction, and I think that's very valid of him
Truly he and Eli are kindred spirits in ways S1 Demetri never could have imagined
You gotta love some irony
He's gone from yeeting out of every bad situation to being like "this dude shaved off my boyfriend's gay-ass hairdo and now I'm going to beat him to kingdom come"
You know what that is? GROWTH
Poor Daniel though, he's like "Oh no :( :( :( My karate sons are fighting :( :( :("

Mr. LaRusso says anyone can be the hero, but I’m not Batman! I’m more like Alfred. You’re Batman!

Y’all thought I was gonna watch Season 4 and then NOT do a moodboard of The Basement Scene??? Preposterous. Completely absurd. Literally just gave me too many Vibes to work with for them not to be utilized.
Tried for more grayish/neutral colors for this one! Hopefully it’s not too boring ^^; I wanted to match the general energy of the scene, and both Demetri and Eli seem to be feeling kind of sad and empty here, SO.
Very happy I found a picture of “I love you” written in binary code ;_____;
Also, it has been said, but I’ll say it again: You have Demetri look at Eli like that, and...what??? Expect me to buy Demetri isn’t deeply in love with him??? To buy that Demetri Alexopoulos’s feelings for his best friend are nothing but platonic??? I respectfully disagree, and also, you are an idiot.
The top left pic is what should’ve happened after the basement scene XD

“They were expecting to find Miguel Diaz. What they weren’t expecting to find was love.”
Imagining of Season 5 in which Demetri and Eli go on a totally straight and totally heterosexual Dudebro road trip to Mexico to find their best friend. Unfortunately, when you’re trapped in a car with someone for hours on end, you might have to start confronting some feelings you wish weren’t there.
Well, everyone, I caved. I fucking caved. I said so many times that I wasn’t going to write CK fanfiction because GODDAMN if I don’t have too many WIPs in other fandoms, but like. The desire to write a homoerotic road trip fic was just too damn much.
I’ve never tried formally writing these two before, so I have no idea if it’s any good, but GOD did I try lol. Not much plot here, mostly just Vibes, gay tension, and missing and worrying about Best Boy Miguel!!! Also written partly out of spite because I’m just constantly seeing Miguel/Demetri friendship erasure in the fandom and it’s gotten me HEATED, so now I’m writing about Demetri going off to find Miguel in Mexico and internally monologuing about how worried he is and y’all just gonna have to deal with it. Fun fact: Miguel and Demetri love each other, and I will not hear otherwise under any circumstances :D
Also I can’t believe I’ve been in this fandom over a year and it took fucking writing this fic to realize Demetri has an extremely bad case of generalized anxiety disorder D: Like he worries about every all the time and honestly? Same
Uhhhhh CW for mentions of human trafficking, even if it’s done in jest (they’re teenage boys after all, this is the kinda thing teenage boys joke about lol) and some zesty...physical references, but the sauciest thing they do is make out because I’m asexual and do not wish to write smut XD
Fic is under the cut!!! Be warned, it is a 4k word longboi!!!
EDIT: There is now a sequel here as well!!!
***
“I cannot even begin to tell you how unsafe this is.”
“Uh huh. Go on.”
“I’m serious, Eli! We’re parked out in the middle of nowhere in a desert that never ends and the only signs of civilization are those cars going by on the highway at like 90 miles an hour. This is how people get kidnapped. And used for…I don’t know, human trafficking or something.”
Eli rolls over from where he lies next to Demetri on the car roof, scowling at him. “You think the traffickers are going to want you?”
Demetri scoffs, offended at the implication. “I’ll have you know I am a catch! The hottest girl in school thought so for a while.”
Eli breaks into a smirk. “Didn’t Yasmine like…use you as a beard, dude?”
“That’s not—she’s not—she didn’t—look, it doesn’t count if she didn’t know she was lesbian until after we got together!” Demetri splutters, gesturing vaguely as he attempts to arrive at a point.
“Wouldn’t that make it even worse?”
“Still speaks volumes to my suave disposition that she had no issue appearing to be dating me.”
“I’ll never understand it.” Eli turns away, gaze flicking back up to the stars.
“As I was saying.” Demetri stubbornly goes on. Someone has to knock some sense into Eli Moskowitz—access that logical coding brain he knows is in there somewhere. “Just because we’re a little ways off the main road doesn’t mean someone isn’t going to see us parked out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. They could still come out here, break into the car, and do—well, whatever they want! It’s not like anyone would hear us yelling for help. We should have gotten a motel room.”
Eli snorts. “What, are we throwing hundred dollar bills around like we’re Terry Fucking Silver? It was hard enough mooching enough gas money off my mom. Besides, we know karate. If anyone comes after us, we could take them.”
Demetri rolls his eyes. “Right, my bad. I forgot I’m under the protection of the latest AVT champ.”
“Damn right.”
“I’m holding you to that, by the way. If we get kidnapped, and you can’t fend them off, I’m going to be really mad.”
“Completely understandable.”
A lull passes over the boys. For several moments, there’s no sound but desert wind, the hum of crickets and cicadas, and the sound of distant traffic. They had pulled off onto some dirt service road and driven for a while before they arrived and parked at what Eli decided was “the perfect sleeping spot.”
“I can’t believe you’re not tired,” Eli pipes up. “You’ve been driving like…all day.”
Demetri shrugs, car roof cool against his neck and shoulders. The sweltering daytime heat has long since faded from the metal.
“I don’t know. I guess I didn’t know when I’d get the chance to stargaze again. It’s kind of hard with all the light pollution. I remember we used to try on your trampoline, and whenever we’d get excited about a particularly bright one, it would turn out to be LAX’s newest outgoing flight.”
“Yeah, there’s a lot more going on out here. Might as well enjoy it.”

My #1 post of 2022
Binary Boyfriends S4 Fix-It Fics That I Need Immediately
WHAT UP BINARY BOYFRIENDS NATION, WHO’S READY TO WRITE SOME FIX-IT FIC???
Apologies in advance if any of these have already been done, but consider!!! I am always down to see more!!!
Psyche! Its turns out Yasmine and Demetri both are absolutely aware that they’re gay and are 100% faking a straight relationship to seem more cool and normal! The only reason they sell the horniness so well is because they’re both theatrical motherfuckers and wanna see how much they can overdramatically ham it up to fool the entire school into thinking they’re heterosexual
Demetri attempts to stand up for Hawk with Chris and Nate! Make no mistake, not because I think it would work, but because Demetri sometimes has 0 tact when he gets angry and I think the fallout would be very funny
Demetri and Hawk spar, but Hawk accidentally hits Demetri too hard!!! Angst ensues!!!
Demetri and Hawk spar, and they get all amped up on adrenaline and suddenly one is shoving the other against the dojo wall and making out with them!!! The entire dojo sees them and it’s very funny
Demetri jumps off the building!!! And brags about it to Hawk!!! Hawk looks at him with heart eyes because he’s a badass!!!
Alternatively, Demetri tries to jump and lands on the mattresses. He has to go to the hospital. Hawk visits him and switches between heaping on adoring praise for being so ballsy and yelling at Demetri for being so stupid and scaring the shit out of him.
Bonus points if Demetri literally only jumped to impress Hawk
Demetri and Hawk being utter and complete overprotective karate dads to Nate and Bert
Like remember how they both adopted them as their sons??? LET’S DO SOMETHING WITH THAT
Demetri dyeing Hawk’s hair in the bathtub and it’s very intimate and they keep aggressively tryna No Homo it
I think this may have already been done but I am literally always down to see it again
POV: You’re a Cobra Kai goon about to help the scary Keene kid shave off some dude’s gay-ass purple mohawk when there’s a crash and the most gangly, uncoordinated dweeb you’ve ever seen busts in through the tattoo shop window
You’re like “who’s this clown”
But “clown” as in horror movie clown specifically, because this interloper has a mildly to moderately unsettling look on his face
Cue the unsettling clown saying “Evening gentlemen :) :) :) Hope you’re not about to do something you regret to my pal Eli here :) :) :)” in a really quiet and calm tone of voice, which is. DEEPLY terrifying
*cue Demetri breaking into the world’s hugest and most horrifying slasher smile*
And he unleashes nine levels of hell on the Cobras, because he deserves to
Bonus points if he steals the razor and goes just a BIT slash-happy on them
Or strangles Kyler with the belt thing he was holding Eli down with
I just think Demetri should be allowed to completely fucking lose it and become the scariest motherfucker you’ve ever seen when someone messes with his boyfriend Eli Moskowitz
No really, just stop what you’re doing and imagine Demetri chasing Kyler through the tattoo parlor with a shaver Shining-style like “HEEEEERE’S ‘METRI!”
Like would that fuck or WHAT
On a related note, Demetri going full Slasher Movie Villain on the Cobras to get revenge after they shave the ‘hawk would also be acceptable
I think he should bring Miguel along too, I think that would be neat
Just a couple of best bros going to inflict unspeakable violence on the ne’er-do-wells who brutally violated their other best bro, don’t mind them
Demetri still gets to be more unhinged through
Because a) that’s his fucking boyfriend whose hair they’re avenging and b) Miguel has already gotten to be scary on many occasions!!! Let Demetri have a turn!!!

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →
...okay so not nearly as funny as last year's (where my 2nd most popular post was my dumb Scott Pilgrim shitpost) but I'm very pleased with my longest tag. It's very correct and absolutely hysterical.
Wild that I apparently posted more than I did at the height of my 2021 hyperfixation. I guess Season 4 and my frantic desire to ramble about everything will do that to ya.
AKAJSDIPVFOU LOOK AT CHAPTER 1 OF THE ROAD TRIP FIC MAKING IT INTO MY TOP 5 GOOD FOR HIM GOOD FOR HIM
(Obligatory reminder that all 6 chapters of the road trip fic are on my AO3 SummerPhlox if you want to read/comment there lol)
YO CONGRATS TO MY BLORBO DEMETRI ALEXOPOULOS FOR BEING MY #1 TAG OF 2022 I'M SO PROUD OF MY SON GOOD FOR HIM
And my other blorbo Miguel Diaz making the top 10 tags too, we love to see it <3
Happy almost-2-year-anniversary to this blog lmao what the fuck I thought I'd have a little mini baby hyperfixation on some nerdy karate gays and then I'd go about my business but irl plot twists are more wild than any movie I've ever seen because somehow I'm still fucking here

Critique-In-A-Sandwich posted to r/ispp If anyone's caught sight of that post on tumblr making the rounds about 6ear yelling at some guy in a yellow hoodie, did I tell you or did I TELL YOU. I can count on several hands how much of a bad look it is to be caught yelling at someone like this. I'm like, actually afraid for 6's family or s/o does he yell at them like this too?
EclipseFan01 commented on your post Oh hell nawww 🤡 you're not saying what I think you're saying. Are we going to accuse every male public figure of being abusive behind the scenes??? Are we?? Is this what we're doing reddit??? Is 6 not allowed to be a person now? sorry that actual people can't cater to your hyper specific standards at all times without getting cancelled
NJersey commented on your post Leave them. Crit-sandwich is notorious for trying to cancel 6 well, excuse the joke. Six ways to Sunday. Don't engage the haters, the only thing I will say though is that the #Six-o-Clock #TwoEyesSixEars or whatever stalker tag twitter came up with was a poor idea. Respect people's privacy. 6Ears-Wifey commented on your post #EyesOnSixEars? Yeah I have a stupid celebrity crush on him but some fans go as far as to stalk his route from the theatre, where he eats, and stake out his home like that is genuinely scary behavior are you all ok. can you be normal. I'm glad nobody seems to have found where he lives yet at least I haven't seen posts on it. Someone almost got close one time they were live recording and somehow lost 6 in an alley?? Like it was a dead end. That was so close though. Crazy fans could seriously hurt him and that is NOT a headline I want to see going around. Please stop, I'm begging. Leave 6 ALONE. I'm actually going to make a thread on that. Catch me in a few hours.

Creeper couldn't believe you were alone in charge of three kids, when you moved onto his neighborhood. And he knew you didn't have a husband around because he had never seen him.
The problem was when he realized he was in love with you, with your scent, with the sweet tone of your voice and with that smile which could stop a war.
“Wait, wait! Lemme help you, mama!”
You hear a voice behind you, making you turn around from the trunk of your car full of bags. A man covered with tattoos and a helmet hanging from his forearm, is walking towards you.
“Oh, no, no. Don't worry. It's okay”. You mutter somewhat ashamed with a fleeting smirk on your lips.
“Nah, ain't nothing better to do”. He just shrugs his shoulders, grabbing three bags in every hand and greatly surprising you of his strength.
“Than—Thank you…” You just say, taking the three left, before closing your car.
Walking in silence straight to the porch, you open the door with some difficulties making you both laugh until it finally opens. Following you to the kitchen, he leaves the groceries over the counter, having one quick look but without wanting to look like a creepy stalker.
“I'm (Y/N), by the way”. You say then, raising a hand at him hoping it's enough for a formal greeting.
“Neron”. The man answers, narrowing it softly, a little bewitched by your touch.
“Can I… maybe offer you a coffee or something…?”
Whenever you two were free of responsibilities, you used to sit on your porch to share some drinks and talk about work, or about your lives in general. And only when he knew that it could be something serious, he just talked to you about what he really does, one bit at time.
After some months, more or less, hanging out, you two decided to introduce him to your girls. Two twins of six years old and a pre-teen of fourteen. You were aware that he wouldn't have any problem with Lia and Marta. But Carlota was another history.
Since Creeper has sat at the table, after helping you to settle the table, you can see the younger whispering and chuckling with that kind of gesture that they use when they want to ask something, but they're too ashamed. Narrowing your eyes, as the man does, you look at them.
“C'mon, girls, spit it out”. You say with a funny smile on your lips.
“Can we color your drawings one day?” Marta and Lia ask in unison, pointing at his bare arms.
You can't help but laugh rubbing your faces.
“Sounds like a cool plan”. Creeper nods pretty convinced.
“Fuck this shit”. From her silence, Carlota drags backwards her chair, getting up to step out of the living room.
“Hey, mama”. Neron says grabbing your left wrist, when you're about to follow her. “It's okay. Give her time”.
“I can't let her behave like that”. You grunt sitting down.
“She is fourteen, baby. We both know what her father did. And probably she thinks I want to replace him, but it's not. She will see it, okay?”
The months kept passing by, taking the next step when you decided to live together. At this point he has already introduced you to his brothers, being more kindly than you thought. At least, they didn't thought that Neron was fucking out of his mind, for getting related with a woman with three kids.
Lia and Marta were delighted having him at home, playing with them whenever he had five minutes, or cooking pancakes on Sundays. And of course, letting your girls color all his tattoos.
Carlota, by the other hand, started to be hard-nose. Always locking herself in her dorm when she was at home. And it was breaking your heart, trying to talk with her about what was bothering her, even if you already knew. But the worst part was when the principal of his highschool called you to tell you about a fight that involucred your daughter with another three girls.
“Hey, mama, I got this, okay?”
What you didn't know is that Neron was already conscious about what was happening. So he was to take care of that business.
Your daughter was sitting on a bench in the peak time of finishing classes, crying unconsolable with her hands covering her burning face. She wasn't expecting the loud buzz coming closer, raising her blurry gaze to the road. Nine motorbikes made their appearance, getting parked backwards next to the sidewalks. The whole student body with their parents and some teachers turned at them, mostly whispering about how good those nine men looked. Taking off their helmets, Neron's brothers waited for him, having some cigs, while he started to walk towards your surprised daughter.
As soon as he was able to kneel close to her, he knew by just one look who were the other girls. He didn't say anything, standing up to lead his steps to the three families with their eyes fixed on the man.
“I know that your daughters are teasing my kid about me, about my club and about what we do. So, lemme tell you something, as parents you are, the only thing you want is the happiness of them. Keep it in mind. Because next time my kid comes back home crying, I will not be this… polite”.
The girls were trembling, hiding behind their parents who were terrified too because of his words. Showing them a fake smile, Neron turned around to your daughter to make her a sign.
“I want you to say ‘sorry’ to her, and promise that you will never gonna fuck her up again”.
“Sir, yo—”.
“Shut the fuck up, man. I'm talking to your ill-bred kids”.
“We… We're so—sorry, Carlota”.
Your daughter looked at him, clinging to his arm, pouting a little and pulling him back.
“Good. Never forget to be kind”.
That night, Carlota didn't stop talking about how scared everyone was because of Creeper, totally freaking out too about when he appeared with his brothers in such cool motorbikes.
It was almost two am when your boyfriend came from the clubhouse, a little tired and needed for a cold beer. Taking off his boots at the entrance, to not be noisy, he walks straight to the kitchen to grab one from the fridge. Opening it with not much difficulty, he has a sip turning to the island in the middle of the kitchen.
“Jesus fucking christ, Carlota…” He whispers with his heart racing. “What you doin'ere?”
“I couldn't sleep”. She just says, having another spoon of ice cream.
“At least, turn on the lights… You're gonna gimme a heart attack, kid”.
She laughs low, shaking her head, before getting up from the stool. Walking towards him without saying a single word, your daughter hugs Creeper wrapping his waist with both arms.
“Thank you for today”. She mutters resting her cheek on his chest.
Your boyfriend doubts for a second, not knowing if it's real or an illusion, but it feels so good that he could help her somehow. Hugging her back, the man kisses her head, smiling like a fool. Being happy to see that she's finally accepting him in her family.
“Listen, Carlota…” He says then, pulling himself away to leave the beer over the counter. “I don't wanna replace anyone, okay? We don't have to play this dad and daughter game. I wanna be your friend, I want you to trust me and talk to me about your problems, if you have some, okay?”
“Okay”. She just says. “I'm sorry if I hurt you ever”.
“Nah, it's okay, kid. I just want you to be happy”.
“I am, Creep'”.

Brassy (Part 4)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Loki X Reader,  Bucky X Reader
Words: 1881
Warnings: Language, PTSD, Smut (18+, NSFW), Casual sex, some angst
Summary: You’re in a friends with benefits situation with Loki and some of the other Avengers aren’t happy with the arrangement. Reader and Bucky finally have it out. 
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3
———————————-
You rode Loki until you exhausted yourself. A while later you felt him shift out of the bed. You grab his wrist and say, "Stay."
"What?" He says surprised.
"Stay."
"Are you certain?"
"On one condition." 
"Name it, darling "
"Wake me up fucking me."
"My pleasure." 
You smile into your pillow and fall asleep.
As promised, you wake up spooned against Loki as he slowly works himself into you from behind. His left arm curled under you playing with your breast and his right hand making slow circles around your clit. "Ohhh…yes." you breath as the pleasure washes over you. Loki continues his ministrations at a leisurely pace while whispering in your ear. "Is this what you wanted, my darling? Hmmm...you're so tight. So perfectly tight. Ohhh. So wet for me, my darling…"
The feeling of his breath on your ear, his hands swirling their magic around your breasts and clit, and the steady rhythm of his cock moving in and out of you drive you to the edge. Your release is strong and prolonged as Loki never pauses from his duties. When he finally succumbs to his own release, you're spent. Eventually, you turn to face Loki. You lean into him for a kiss, saying, "In answer to your question. Yes, that was exactly what I wanted." You say with a soft giggle. 
Loki smiles. "Am I being kicked out now?" He asks half-jokingly. 
"When do you have to go back?" You ask. 
"Tonight."
"Spend the day in bed with me, then." You grin winningly. "Unless you think you'll be bored."
"Not if you're in it with me." Loki pulls you to him and begins nibbling along your collarbone. You hum contentedly and smile knowing the day will be spent pleasurably. 
That afternoon you and Loki were sitting on your bed eating the lunch you had brought from the kitchen. 
“How come you didn't fall in love with me?” Loki asks.
“Oh, god, where is this coming from?” You say rolling your eyes.
“Don’t worry, darling. I’m just curious.”
“I’ll tell you the same thing I told Tony last night. I’m not the fall in love kind.” You say.
“What does that mean?” Loki  queries.
You shrug. “It means I don’t fall in love.”
“Ever?”
“Nope. Just, I don’t know, Loki. I feel emotions. I just don't fall in love.” You paused. “Besides, like I said, I’d hate you if you weren’t so good in bed.”
“No, you wouldn’t.” He grins.
“True. You are rather fun. I’m glad we’re friends.” You say in a rare moment of transparency. 
“With benefits?” Loki says with a smirk. 
“Hell, yeah.” You laugh. 
Before Loki left that evening he looked at you and said “Next time?” as he always does. 
“Look forward to it.” Your rote response. 
You are glad to have him as a friend. Loki didn’t judge. You could laugh, make mischief, or just be quiet together. You didn’t have to worry about his emotions running away from him either. You understood each other. Loki made things easy. And that’s the way you liked things.
Sunday morning you, Natasha, Clint, and Sam were sent on a two day mission. Nine days later, you all returned worse for wear but having accomplished your mission. Clint and Natasha helped Sam to the infirmary for some stitches. You went looking for Steve to check in. 
“F.R.I.D.A.Y., where’s Cap?” you ask. 
“Captain Rogers is in the training room.” F.R.I.D.A.Y replies. 
You see Steve and Bucky sparring as soon as you walk in. You watch them for a minute and then yell out, “On your six!” distracting Steve and giving Bucky the upper hand. Steve’s back slams onto the mat and you chuckle despite your exhaustion. 
“Really, (Y/N)?” Steve rolls to his feet.
“Payback for the shit mission we got.” You counter.
“Everyone okay?” Steve looks at you with concern. 
“Sam’s getting a small gash on his leg stitched up but that’s about it. Intel we gathered has been uploaded. I’m going to bed.” You start to turn. 
“Rest well.” Steve says. Bucky stayed silent for the entire exchange.
“K, thanks.” You say as you walk away not bothering to turn back. You take a hot shower and hit the sack. 
You awake from a nightmare with a start. 3am. You just want more sleep, but knowing it to be futile you decide to head to the kitchen. Your stomach feels absolutely empty and you still feel drained from the mission. It hadn’t been an easy one physically or mentally. You’re nearly finished making a sandwich when Bucky walks in. 
“Hey.” you say and turn back to your sandwich. 
“Hey.” he says back and goes to the fridge.
“Want a sandwich?” You ask, unsure why you’re offering to make one for the asshat.
“No...thanks.” He says and you see him start to leave. 
Setting down the knife and taking a deep breath, you say quietly, “What did I do wrong?”
“What?” Bucky turns back to you. 
“What did I do wrong?” You say a little louder. 
Bucky stares at you but says nothing. 
Frustrated you say, “I’ve wracked my brain. Gone over every discussion and interaction we have had and I can’t figure it out. What did I do to you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He turns to leave.
“Bullshit, Barnes! There has to be some reason you hate me!” You say vehemently. He just keeps walking and your temper gets the best of you. Grabbing your half drunk water bottle, you hurl it at him hitting him square in the back. “Talk to me!”
“Did you throw a water bottle at me?” Bucky says in disbelief. 
“You’re lucky it wasn’t the knife, Asshat.” You counter.
“You’ve lost your mind!” Bucky yells.
“Why do you hate me so much?” You holler back. 
“I DON’T!” He screams. 
“YES, YOU DO!” You scream back.
“WHY HIM?” 
You stare at Bucky confused. “Why who?... You mean, Loki?” 
"He's using you."
"What? No he's not."
"Yes, he is. He doesn't love you."
"I don't love him. It's not like that."
"What?" Bucky looks at you in shock.
"Loki and I are not together. We're just friends with benefits." 
"What the hell are friends with benefits?" Bucky says.
"Fuck buddies. A mutually agreed on arrangement between friends to include sex with no strings and no emotions." You explain. 
Bucky gapes at you, "And you don't care what that makes you?" 
Your blood runs cold. "What that makes me?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." Bucky backpedals.
"You think there's a name I haven't been called? I was a runaway at 14. How the fuck do you think I fed myself?" You say venomously. "Men used me my entire life. And now that I am the one that says when and who and where, I'm supposed to dress it up with hearts and flowers. Fuck. That. I'll do who and what I want."
"That's not what I meant." Bucky says. 
"What did you mean?" You glare at him.
Bucky looks at you and his face softens. "I meant you deserved better. You should be loved."
"Some of us aren't meant to be loved." You turn to go back to the kitchen but Bucky grabs your hand. 
"Everyone is meant to be loved. You are meant to be loved." Bucky says quietly. 
"No. I'm not." You say pulling your hand away. 
"Why would you say that?" Bucky pushes.
"Because I'm not someone people love. I'm not someone anyone loves. I never have been." You explain.
"That's not true." Bucky says.
"Look, Bucky, I know most people grow up with people who love them. But I didnt. I don't deserve love and I don't need it." You finish making your sandwich. 
"You're wrong." Bucky turns you around to face him. "God, (Y/N), you're so wrong. You deserve love. You deserve everything."
"You have to see the irony that the guy who hates me is the one telling me I should have love." You scoff.
"I don't hate you." Bucky says.
"Coulda fooled me." You said.
"I was jealous." He confesses. "I was angry you were with Loki."
"Why?" You say, genuinely confused. "Because I wasn't sleeping with you?"
"Because I like you, (Y/N)!" Bucky says exasperated. "You're smart and funny and beautiful and strong." 
For a moment you're stunned speechless. You couldn't meet his eyes any longer and looked away. "Don't, Bucky. Don't like me. I'm not the fall in love type. I'm not...I'm not worth your time."
"Can't I be the judge of that?" He asks.
"You don't know anything about me. And if you did, you wouldn't ask that. My past is not pretty." You say.
"I was a brainwashed Hydra assassin. I've got a pretty sketchy past, too."
"You…" 
Bucky puts his hands to your lips to stop you. When you finally look up to meet his eyes, he moves his hands to frame your face. "I don't know anything about you? On mission, you are always willing to take the shittiest job to spare anyone else. You bake treats for everyone all the time and know what everyone's favorite food is and how they take their coffee. You go out of your way to help others. You never leave a room without asking if anyone needs something. You go shopping and come back with nothing for yourself but little gifts for everyone else. You always have a joke at the ready but an apology on your lips the minute you think you've offended someone. You have the mouth of a sailor on you but the minute a kid or old folks are around you are the most charming person on the planet. You want everyone to see the brash facade you put up but you wear your heart on your sleeve without even realizing it. Whatever is in your past, is your past. We all make shit decisions in life. The person I see, she's amazing. And she is worthy. And she deserves love. She deserves everything."
You stare up at him and whisper, "I don't see her."
"She's right here. She offered to make this total 'asshat' a sandwich just because he walked in the room. Even though he's been a complete jerk to her."
"Well, Steve always calls you jerk so I figured it was your default." 
"There's that humor I mentioned." He stares into your eyes. "Give me the chance to prove you deserve love."
"I'll hurt you." You say shaking your head.
"You're scared. I'm scared, too. We can go as slow as you need." Bucky caresses your jaw.
"I don't know how to do this." You say.
"Let's start by being friends. We'll figure it out as we go." Bucky smiles at you. 
You look at him wondering how the hell this just happened but somewhere deep inside you felt a kernal of joy spring forward. Part of you wanted to believe you did deserve everything he was saying. The other part was screaming that this was a trick and you were an idiot.
Bucky can see the war going on inside you. "Gimme a chance, Doll. Please." 
You smile at him. "So...you wanna sandwich, asshat?"

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE TAGGED
Tumblr media
I smooth the hair dye through Nikki's roots, wiping my forehead with my forearm as he chatters on and on about the album.
"Tommy's fixed on making a song about strippers, and Mick's giving pretty good riff ideas, but Vince is too busy frying in the fucking sun to give a shit. As usual." He complains and I lick my lips and keep quiet. "Don't even get me started on how I showed him 'Veins' and he outright said he wasn't singing that 'shit'. If he doesn't like the fucking lyrics he can get his ass off the fucking beach or pull his cock out of cheap-bitch pussy and write a fucking song himself. Lazy fucking bastard. Then he wants to groan about how hard he works. Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware standing in front of a microphone and giving half-assed vocals is so fucking exhausting--which counting how much energy he spends talking back to me or Mick or Tommy, he probably is exhausted by the time he's done laying vocals and blowing load after load down a line of groupies' throats while Sharise is at home taking care of their fucking child. Fucking asshole."
"Vince has always been that way. I don't know why you're just now realizing this." I mumble, sectioning off another piece of his hair before glopping dye onto it.
"No, no. He had an attitude to begin with but it was the perfect amount for the band. Now he's getting singer syndrome and I'm not dealing with his prima-donna bullshit."
"He's not perfect, Nikki, maybe he's just going through something and he'll get better once whatever it is passes."
"He's not going through anything, he's just drinking again." He states and I raise my brows.
"Nikki, he's not drinking again."
"Yes, he is."
"How do you know?"
"I know what beer smells like. He reeks of it anytime he's in the studio."
At least it's not crack.
"So, this song about strippers..." I change the subject, starting on another section of his hair.
"Tommy just has the main tagline of the chorus in his head and we're working on lyrics and music for it, now. I think it'll be a good single."
"What's the main tagline for the chorus?"
"I can't tell you, it's a surprise." He grins when I step out from behind him to look down at him. "But you'll like it."
"Whatever you say." I sigh, finishing his hair, taking the gloves up. "Alright, leave it in for twenty minutes then we'll go rinse it out." I tell him, turning my back to go throw the box dye supplies and empty bottle away.
"Hey, does this stuff stain the floor?" He calls while I'm in the kitchen.
"...Yeah." I reply before it hits me why he's asking.
I rush back into the dining room to see him swiping the towel that was once over his shoulders, being wiped back and forth against the floor by his boot, probably trying to soak up what dye he got on the floor.
"Nikki!" I exclaim.
"I'm getting it up." He reassures me, laughing me off.
"It's getting on your shirt now!"
"You know how to get it out in the wash, though, so it's fine." He shrugs, smirking at me and I have to keep myself from screaming at him, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.
"Okay. Okay." I say to myself, aloud, feeling his hands hold at my waist and I open my eyes, looking up at his dye soaked hair that's dripping down his shirt now that he doesn't have his towel on his shoulders to protect him. "You wouldn't take your shirt off before I started dyeing your hair, you wouldn't keep your towel over your shoulders and now you have dye on your shirt and I'm gonna have to scrub at it with vinegar and soap. You are a child. I am married to a man-child."
"You can spank me if you want to." He raises his brows and I have to keep myself from cracking up, holding back my smile.
"It's not funny." I tell him.
"It is." He argues.
"No it's not."
"It kind is."
"No, it's no--ahh!" I squeal, jerking away from him as he tickles me.
He stops in a split second, his eyes focused on something over my shoulder.
I turn my head to see Vanity standing at doorway, and I can practically feel the anger rolling off of her as she grinds her teeth.
She doesn't look as sweet as usual.
"Where the hell were you last night?!" She asks him, and I feel him tense up like a cat with it's fur standing up due to being threatened.
"With my wife."
It seems like she twitches at the word "wife" before she rolls her jaw.
"That's the third time you've bailed on plans made with me, Nikki. I'm really starting to get the impression you don't wanna be friends anymore."
"I've been working on music and trying to take a step back from the drugs, Vanity. When I feel like going down hill again, I'll give you a call." He states to her and she glares daggers at him before looking at me.
"You should be very proud of him, Vivian, I mean, really." She sarcastically let's out. "He really takes his marriage so serious."
"Vanity, you're stoned. Get lost." Nikki orders her and that seems to make it worse.
"Get lost?! I'm trying to figure out what's wrong, Nikki, and why you don't want to see me, so I can fix it!"
"And I'm telling you I'm busy working on the album, trying get sober, and, oh, yeah, spending time with Vivian because my life doesn't revolve around my friends. I have other priorities and you're not on that list anymore."
Her brown eyes shift to me, her jaw tightening and loosening the more she focuses on me.
"He only wants you around because you're sober. Just like he only wanted me around because I know how to have a good time."
"Vanity, I'm sure he'd be willing to hang out with you if you weren't constantly on something." I politely interject. "I was the one that suggested he manage his time spent with his friends that were involved in the things he was trying to get clean from." I add. "And we've been together for six years. I don't think he wants me around just for my personal preference of sobriety."
Her and Nikki seem to be having an entire conversation with just their eyes before she's letting out one last breath.
"Fine. Just call me up when you're desperate for an escape, again." She tells him before turning on her heel, stomping out of the house.
"What the hell was that about?" I ask him and he just shakes his head.
"Don't worry about it, Viv. She's fucking crazy." He mumbles, giving the direction she walked out in, one last glance before going to rinse his hair out in the shower.
When he gets out, I've got big, velcro rollers in my hair and I'm putting on makeup.
"Where you going tonight?" He asks me and I finish my mascara before giving a small shrug.
"Duff and I are gonna go try to see about finding him another place to move. They're starting on the album and when he starts getting money from it, he wants to get a nicer place." I explain.
"That's what you said last night, Viv. And the two nights before that." He adds, fixing his towel around his waist.
"Feel free to come with us, Nikki, I'm sure he'd love the company of another guy." I offer, not even realizing what he's getting at.
"Well, maybe I was gonna take you out." He tells me and I look at him for a moment.
"Nikki leaving me in a club while you go shoot up in the bathroom isn't 'taking me out'. It's using me as a coverup." I sigh.
"I'm off smack, Viv." He states, finishing smearing shaving cream over his jaw, picking his razor up.
"Is that why you were hanging out with Robbin last night?"
The thud of his razor hitting the sink has me jumping slightly, and I glance at him from the corner of my eye to see him staring at me, obviously pissed.
"Nikki, don't look at me like that. I'm being honest."
"For once." He scoffs out and I stop what I'm doing and focus on him.
"What's that suppose to mean?" I ask.
"I've just heard stuff, Viv, that's all." He informs me and I raise a brow.
"Heard what from who?"
"Vanity said she's seen you out with Duff more times that you've failed to mention to me." He throws.
"Oh, Vanity. The same woman you discredit because she's 'fucking crazy'?"
"She's not lying about that, Vivian, because she has no reason to. It's all in the fucking papers, anyway."
"What are you talking about?" I snap and he raises his brows before stepping out of the bathroom, coming back with a stack of cheap news papers...I'm on the cover of every one, with Duff.
I'm wearing church dresses in a few of them.
Shit.
"I didn't wanna say anything because I get that you're your own person and can do whatever, but you can kinda see why I scratch my head when my wife tells me church service ran late and then shows up on a magazine with another guy.
"Nikki, there's nothing going on." I reassure him, finishing my makeup.
"Then why the fuck have you been lying about it?"
"To avoid this!" I motion between us before grabbing the papers from him and throwing them towards the garbage can in the bathroom.
"If I was spending every sunday afternoon on a fucking date with some chick and lying to you about it, it'd be the end of the fucking world, Vivian."
"Duff isn't just some random person, Nikki. You know him. You're friends with him. Why the hell would anything happen? Do you really think I would do that to you--that he would do that to you, knowing that all you'd have to do is call him out for it publicly, once, and ruin his shot at music?" I ask harshly and he licks his lips.
"Next time you two hangout without telling me about it, I'll do just that. Don't fucking try me, Sixx. You're lucky I'm not kicking you to the curb for this shit." He states, his voice graveling.
"It would make sense for you to do that to me, Nikki, it really would. I stay with you after you treat me like shit, shoot me, ignore me, laugh at my fear for your life and safety and the second you think I'm spending a little too much time with my best friend--completely your paranoid opinion, by the way--I'm an embarrassing whore and you're wanting to kick me out of the house. I swear to God, I have no idea how someone can go from thinking they're God, to being an insecure little bitch."
"I don't care if you hang out with him but fucking tell me the truth about it!"
"Like you tell me the truth about Vanity?! How much time is she really spending at our house, Nikki, because almost every fucking time I go out and come back home, I'm getting whiffs of her perfume and freebase. And I know you aren't just around her to talk. When she's around, so is the crack."
"I'm not listening to this shit." He gives one last swipe of his razor over his skin before he's finished, getting the left over shaving cream off before grabbing his hair dryer.
"Yeah, you love putting the things I do under a microscope but the second Nikki's in the hotseat, it's an invasion of his privacy, right?!" I call after him as he slams the bathroom door behind him when he leaves.
I knew he was bound to find out I was lying to him, but when he did, I expected him to be angrier or make more of a show patronizing me for it. I didn't realize he didn't give much of a fight because he already had the sick gears in his mind turning.
I pull my dress and heels on, stepping through the house to find Nikki.
He's in Karen's room, probably venting to her about me, when I walk in to see him pacing back and forth in front of her bed while she patiently listens.
"Can I talk to you?" I ask him and he just looks me up and down before rolling his eyes, trudging toward me, shutting Karen's door behind him. "You're not an insecure little bitch. You have a reason to be upset with me and I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth about the Duff thing. But you overreact when it comes to me, Nikki, you really do. It's like you can have all the girls around you that you want, and I don't know who the hell they are, but the second a guy even glances at me, you're on the defense. Do you not trust me?"
"You lied to me about it, Vivian."
"To try to protect you."
"From what? There's nothing wrong with you and him hanging out!" He tells me, losing patience. "...Is there?"
"No, there's not, Nikki."
"Okay, then. I don't care. Apology accepted. Go have fun." He carelessly waves his hand to the door, but I know he does care, he doesn't accept my apology, and "go have fun" means "just fuck off and leave me alone."
So I do.
"Alright, bye."
"Bye."
He shuts himself back into Karen's room and I head to my car.
"You're All I Need" was written that night while I was out with Duff and once it was written, Nikki found trouble.
I unlock my car as Duff and I finish leaving the Franklin Plaza after just looking at one of the suites.
"I'm sold." He tells me.
"Really?"
"Yeah, why not." He shrugs and I chuckle.
"Okay, so now what?"
"We wait for a check, and then pack my shit--which consists of three t-shirts and two pairs of pants--and then move in." He says.
"Sounds good." I agree.
"Now, to celebrate..." He starts, thinking for a second. "...food, and then find the guys on the strip."
"Deal." I reply, heading to Denny's.
Once we're done eating, we decide to just walk down the strip in search of at least one of the other four members of Guns N' Roses.
Seeing Duff's car, that Steven borrowed, parked on the side of the street, we find a place to park.
"Rebel Yell" blares through the speakers of the Cathouse once we get inside, and we automatically look in the direction of the bar.
Like we expected, we see Slash, Steven and Izzy, all down drinks.
I pluck Izzy's hat off his head and turn it backwards before tugging at the end of Stevie's hair.
They snap around, and Izzy's lightly hitting my arm in retaliation while Steven's pulling me to him.
"The hell have you been?" He asks me over the music and I brush some of his blonde bangs from his eyes.
"I could ask you the same thing." I tell him, poking at the end of his nose and he kisses my cheek, squeezing me to him for a second.
"I've missed you." He states as Duff and Slash have a brief side conversation.
"Izzy." I acknowledge him and he nods a single time.
"Viv." He replies, taking a sip of his drink.
"Where's Axl?" I ask Stevie, glancing around.
"He's meditating in the bathroom." Steven in forms me and I furrow my brows.
"He's what?"
The blonde looks at me, takes his arm from around me, holds his hands out and touches the tip of his pointer finger to his thumb, closing his eyes for a second, imitating meditation.
"He's meditating." He repeats, obviously finding humor, chuckling when Izzy holds back a smile and knocks him in the arm.
"Better than doing smack in the bathroom I guess." I shrug.
"Oh, speaking of which." Izzy blows smoke past his lips, looking at me. "Nikki and a friend of his is in V.I.P. he came by and said, 'hey' to us and invited us over." He states.
"Why'd you say 'friend' like that?"
"'Cause she was hot." Steven states. "That Vanity chick." He adds.
"Are they still here?" I ask them and Izzy shrugs.
"Hell if I know. She's fucking coo-coo for cocoa puffs, though." Izzy says. "And she's touchy-feely. A little too much."
Izzy didn't like Vanity because he could tell from first glance Nikki and her were fucking around.
The reason he didn't join Nikki in V.I.P that night was because he told Nikki I was more of a man than he ever would be with the shit he was pulling with Vanity.
That pissed Nikki off.
"I'll be right back." I say to them, heading to V.I.P.
I get in, seeing Vanity giving a near strip tease, completely absent from her mind while Nikki completely disregards her, staring off, looking like he just had a hit of junk.
I feel like I'm spying on him, being nosy, and turn to go back to the guys to avoid pissing Nikki off.
"You find him?" Steven asks me and I nod.
"Yeah."
"You find her?" Izzy asks next.
"Yeah. She's really not that bad, Iz."
His eyes nearly bug out of his head as he snaps his attention to me, scoffing out: "what?" in disbelief.
It occurs to him that I'm friends with her and his expression shifts to a sort of sadness before he's finishing his drink and quickly brushing off his demeanor.
He started to slowly distance himself from Nikki after that...that was a low even he wouldn't try to swing to.
Izzy never told me about Nikki and Vanity, not to protect Nikki, but to protect me.
I couldn't be angry at him when I found out he had known, because I knew without a doubt he would have told me had he thought I would have been able to handle it.
The rest of the night ends with me trying to keep a drunk Steven, Slash and Duff out of trouble with Izzy and Axl encouraging their foolery.
When it gets time for them to start going home or either finding chicks to go home with, all seem to disappear...except for Duff.
I'm walking him back up to their apartment, laughing as he almost face plants, stumbling over himself, giving out a sound that sounds almost like Goofy's laugh from Mickey Mouse, only making me laugh harder.
"Sorry." He tells me, grasping at my hand to steady himself so he can get the key for the apartment out of his jacket pocket.
"It's fine." I say when I calm down.
I watch him struggle to get the key into the doorknob.
"That's weird, I usually always can get it in the hole." He says as a joke, and my face turns red as he laughs at himself. "That was a pretty good one."
"Yeah, it was."
"Here, you do it." He hands me the key after struggling some more and I easily unlock the door, causing him to stare at me.
I just smile a little and make my way into the apartment.
"You need help with anything else or you got it?" I ask him as he steps in behind me, taking his jacket off and leaving it in the floor, going to the kitchen.
I pick his jacket up and place it on the couch, going to the kitchen to see him pull a bottle of vodka out.
"No, no." I calmly stop him, gently plucking the bottle from his hands. "You've had plenty for tonight. You're gonna be sick tomorrow." I explain.
"Oh, yeah." He doesn't argue and I put it back where he got it as he leans against the counter.
"Get some sleep. I'll see you later." I order after a second of him just looking me up and down.
"Wait, wait." He stops me, his hand enveloping mine.
"What is it?" I ask him.
"Can we talk about something?"
I feel a lump form in my throat and I blink at him.
"It's really important."
"O-Okay." I nod.
"Viv, I love you." He says. Relief fills me, not even giving a thought to him meaning it differently, and I grin up at him.
"I love you, too, Duff." I say and he scrunches his face up in frustration.
"No, I, like, love you." He repeats, and I raise my brows.
"I-I love you, too."
"That's not what I'm trying to say." He argues, rubbing his face.
"Well, what are you trying to say?" I ask and he groans.
"I love you."
"Duff, I know you do. I said--"
"--That's not what I'm trying to say, Vivian." He starts getting flustered.
"Well, what are you trying to say, Du--" I'm cut off with his lips on mine, despite his sudden move, it's a sweet kiss that doesn't last but a few seconds, not even giving me time to react, once he pulls away.
"I love you." He repeats and it clicks in my mind what he means.
I just slowly blink up at him, the breath taken out of my body as my mind races.
"Duff," I say, catching my breath. "I love Nikki that way."
"I know. And you don't have to feel that way for me, I just needed to tell you, Viv." He says.
"Thank you, but you can't do that again." I tell him. "I'm married. To Nikki. Your friend."
"I only hangout with him because he's married to you."
"Duff."
"I'm just saying. He's a fucking asshole. He doesn't deserve you."
I don't take what he's saying seriously, he's drunk and tired.
My hands hold at his face, making him look me in the eyes.
"Get some sleep. I love you. Goodnight."
I played it off but I was terrified. I drove home that night a sobbing mess. Not because I was confused and didn't know whether to choose Duff or Nikki, I knew not having Nikki wasn't ever an option for me. I didn't want anyone else. But I was upset because I wished Nikki would have been more like Duff.
Once our affair ended, I realized Nikki was like my heroin.
And Duff was my krokodil, which is what some addicts, that are desperate enough, resort to shooting if heroin is unavailable.
It gives the body a bigger high, but does so much more damage than heroin...even if it doesn't feel like it.

Johnny Storm looked around in distaste, “Um, did Venom attack you in here or what?”
Peter stopped digging through the pile of dirty clothes and looked back at him, “Oh screw you.”
“Dude I'm serious, this place is...well this place is.”
Peter went back to searching for a shirt that didn't have food stains on it, “Well not all of us can live in The Jetsons and have robot maids.”
Johnny laughed, “Well sure, but they have invented washing machines.”
Peter picked up a shirt and smelled it, “I've been busy.”
“I just got back from Shiar space, stopped a civil war from breaking out, stopping a bunch of aliens from killing a bunch of other aliens. My clothes are clean.”
Peter sighed and pulled his t-shirt off, “Good for you.”
“I mean how hard is it to...”
Peter spun on Johnny, “I have rent. I have bills. Web fluid doesn't pay for itself and I haven't had a lot of spare change around. That ok with you?”
Johnny held his hands up and took a step back, “Ok fine, my bad.”
Peter shook his head and pulled another shirt on, “It's just not been a good month.”
“So then do them at my place.”
Peter paused, “Your place?”
“Yeah.”
“The Baxter Building?”
“Yeah,” he said and then paused. “Well it's technically my place. A quarter of my place. Well I don't know if my name is on the lease but I live there.”
“You want me to do my laundry at the Baxter Building?”
Johnny shrugged, “Why not? It has a big ol electrostatic cleaning thing that removes dirt like on a cellular level and Reed set this gadget up where the clothes come out of the dryer feeling like a cloud!”
Peter just stared at him.
“What?” Johnny exclaimed, “Look, man, come over on Sunday, bring your clothes, we can split a six-pack and hang out while you do your clothes.”
“I'm supposed to what, swing over with my hamper?”
“Oh yeah, well no. I'll come by and pick you up in a Fantasticar.”
“And how do I explain Johnny Storm showing up at Peter Parker's place?”
“I don't know, how do you explain it now?”
“You're not hovering outside my place in uniform, in civilian clothes no one knows who you are.”
Johnny scoffed, “Bitch, everyone knows who I am.”
Peter rolled his eyes.
“Ok, how about this. You come by Sunday, leave your clothes. I'll have a Herbie cloak over and grab your stuff?”
“You want to send a droid over to pick up my dirty laundry? Isn't that overkill?”
“Do you know how many of those things are floating around the house with nothing to do? Trust me, picking up your crap is like a vacation to them.”
“I highly doubt that.”
“PETE! Come on man, let me help you.”
Peter looked down at the pile and sighed, “Fine, but it just seems like a lot of trouble.”
Johnny flashed one of his million-dollar smiles, “I know you do, that's why I'm offering.”
The statement confused Pete, but he ignored it.
Sunday
“And this is my place!” Johnny said opening the door.
Peter marveled at the huge space. There were five, ceiling length windows overlooking New York, an impossibly large TV, a couple of leather chairs, and a bed big enough for the Giants to practice on in case their stadium flooded.
“You live here?” Peter asked, gobsmacked.
“Well this is my room, I have a place downtown but this is where my stuff is.”
Peter walked around, looking at the old pictures of him and his sister, before they were transformed, half a dozen baseball trophies from high school and several pictures of Johnny and his dad in racing uniforms.
Peter picked up one of them, “Your dad raced?”
“He was a mechanic, taught me everything I learned,” he answered proudly.
“Cool,” Peter remarked, putting it back down, “Should we check on the clothes?”
Johnny laughed, “Dude, the Herbies are programmed to defend against Doctor Doom, they can handle your underwear.”
“Whatever,” Peter said, walking around, looking at the other kick knacks.
“You up for some Overwatch?”
Peter looked over at the TV, “On that?”
“Kinda,” Johnny smiled, “Reed made me a couple sets of these,” he held up a set of high tech glasses, “We play it in our minds.”
Peter walked over as if in a trance, “Really?”
Johnny gestured to one of the chairs, “Sit and let me school you.”
The two men slipped the glasses on and spent the better part of an hour killing each other in virtual space. Peter took the glasses off and sat there, “Man, that is intense.”
“Right?” Johnny said taking his off, “I mean it's like you're really there.”
Pete nodded and then let out a huge yawn, “Sorry, rough night,”
Johnny raised an eyebrow.
“Please, unless you count getting pounded by Rhino...”
Both of Johnny's eyebrows went up.
“NOT LIKE THAT!” Pete screamed, “Jeez get your mind out of the gutter.”
Johnny chuckled, “Jeez dude, it was a joke.”
Pete nodded, “I just need a nap.”
“Then take one,” Johnny suggested.
“My clothes aren't done yet.”
“Duh. I meant here.”
“What? Where?”
Johnny looked at the bed, “Um, there.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I'm beat too, probably lay down as well.”
“With me?” Peter sounded shocked.
Johnny made a face, “Dude, that bed is larger than your apartment. It's a nap, not a proposal.”
“No way man, that's weird.”
Johnny shook his head, “Pete, we're in the 21st century now, you do know two guys can take a nap in the same bed and hump right?”
“It's weird.”
“You're weird.”
Peter said nothing but looked longingly at the bed.
“It's like they say, Pete, it's not gay if you keep your socks on.”
Parker looked at him confused and Johnny just smiled at him.
“Fine, but I still think it's weird.”
Johnny laughed, “And I still think you're weird.”
Pete sighed and fell face-first into the bed, “Oh my god.”
Johnny jumped in on his side, “I know right? Unstable something or other.”
Peter didn't hear him, he was already asleep.
Peter Parker was in heaven.
He had never felt so safe before, swallowed in what felt like a cocoon of sunlight, and snuggled deeper into it. He just laid there, half awake and half asleep, listening to the breathing around him.
The breathing?
He came awake completely and felt the arms circled around him. Johnny had wrapped himself around Pete, becoming the warmest big spoon in history. Peter tried to move but Johnny's arms were locked around him. He pushed harder and said, “Johnny, Johnny wake up!”
After a few seconds Peter struggled harder, making sure he didn't use his strength and hurt his friend. He grabbed one of Johnny's hand and began to pry it open when he heard, “Jesus Pete, relax.”
“You're awake? Get off me!”
This time he pushed Johnny and the blonde went flying off the bed.
“What the shit?” Johnny exclaimed, flying up from the floor.
“Dude, what the hell?” Peter screamed.
“What is your damage man?”
“You were holding me!”
“Oh please, you sighed and leaned back into it before you knew it was me. You liked it.”
“YOU WERE AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME!”
Johnny sighed and rolled his eyes, “Man you are so fucking square.”
“I'm not into guys dude!”
“And I am?” Johnny asked.
Pete said nothing.
“Look, man, we were asleep, we were just snuggling, there is nothing gay about that.”
“Not gay?”
Johnny walked over to Pete, “Are you gay?”
“No!” Pete said instantly.
“You think I am ?”
Peter hesitated and Johnny's hands balled up into fists.
“No, no I don't think so!” Pete admitted.
“So then tell me, how can the two of us taking a nap be gay?”
“We were snuggling!”
“And that's gay how?”
Peter's eyes almost bugged out.
“Look man, people need human contact. And there is no one in the world I know that needs it more than you. I know you're single right now and your life sucks because it always sucks. You liked it because you need it.”
“It's gay!”
“IT'S NOT GAY!” Johnny roared.
Both men stared at each other, their breaths heaving.
“Look Peter, you have problems. I am your best friend and that isn't saying much because you don't have many. And you're freaking out because we enjoyed a nap and a snuggle. That has nothing to do with gay or straight, it has to do with your damn issues. You're a smart guy so I think you know this.”
“I don't need to snuggle!”
Johnny cocked his head, “Dude, you need serious snuggles.”
“Not from you.”
“Then who?”
And Peter didn't have an answer.
“You're too uptight to just go pick a girl up and spend a night with them, you are tragically single and you don't trust any of your friends enough to just relax.”
“This is nuts.”
“Fine,” Johnny said walking away, “Your laundry is done, take it home, and try to forget all this but I don't think you can. Because you liked it Pete because you need it. You need human contact and that was all I was offering.”
“You planned this?”
Johnny rolled his eyes, “Just go, Pete, before you say something you're going to regret.”
Peter thought about it for a moment and then decided, his friend was right. He went to find his laundry and go home.
And forget about everything Johnny just said.
The fight had been as brutal as it had been quick.
One thing about working with the Avengers, there was a lot more clean up after than he was used to. Hawkeye, Nova, and him had been left to pick up the debris leftover. Clint had asked him what was wrong and the next thing you know he was telling him everything.
“Like....cuddle, cuddle?” Hawkeye asked.
“Right?” Peter said, “It's not just me right?”
“No way, I would have freaked.”
“Thank you!” Peter said, going back to the cleanup.
Nova sighed loudly.
“Sprung a leak kid?” Hawkeye asked him.
Sam looked up and looked like he was about to say something and then shook his head, “Nothing.”
Both men looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to their conversation.
“So what do I do?”
“If it was me? Find a new friend.”
Another sigh.
Peter glanced over for a second and pressed on.
“Yeah, I mean I don't even know what to say to that. No I'm not interested in you like that?”
Louder sigh.
“What's your damage?” Hawkeye asked.
Nova looked up and glared at Peter for a moment, but held his tongue.
“What?” Peter asked, “You got a comment? Say it?”
“You're homophobic.”
“What?”
“You're homophobic and you're both Neanderthals.”
Pete and Clint shared a glance, “Anything you want to tell us Sam?”
Sam dropped the ton of cement he had been holding, “See? So now I say something and you both automatically assume I'm gay. That's homophobic man.”
“I don't have a problem with gay people,” Peter insisted.
“Then why are you so bent out of shape that something your friend is trying to do is gay? Or going to make you look gay? Or that even it being gay is bad?”
Peter stopped.
“Both of you are so weirded out about a guy touching you, that you can't even see what he was talking about.”
“So you'd just snuggle with another guy?”
“Yeah, all the time.”
They both stared at him.
“Me and my friends have no issues with each other. Sometimes I need a hug and my friends give it to me with no judgment. And sometimes, we're lonely and just want to be held. So yeah, we snuggle, it's pretty common with anyone born in this century. And by the way, even if my friend WAS gay and needed a snuggle, I'd give do it in a second because it is my FRIEND asking for love. The fact you two dinosaurs can't see the difference between love and sex is the reason gay people hide who they are.”
He hefted the chunk of concrete over his head, “And ask yourself this if everything I just said was bullshit, why were you so concerned suddenly if I was gay or not? Why are you still? And what does that matter if you truly don't care?”
Before they could answer he took flight and sped away.
“Did we just get schooled by a ten-year-old?”
Pete knew Sam was older than that, but damned if the kid didn't have a point.
The next Sunday Pete texted Johnny.
PETE: YOU AROUND?
JOHNNY: YEAH WHAT'S UP?
PETE: YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE DRYER THING, I'M ADDICTED
JOHHNY: LOL, COME OVER.
Pete was able to collect his dirty clothes in a pillowcase this time and was able to sling over to the Baxter Building pretty quick. Johnny's window was open and he came flipping in.
“How am I going to explain Spider-man in my place?” Johnny said closing the windows.
“Tell them your brother in law came to his senses and hired an actual superhero for your job.:
Johnny shot a flame jet at Pete's ass, making the other man jump.
“Hey! This isn't fireproof!”
“I don't know why you didn't keep the one Reed made you when you were part of the Foundation.”
Pete shrugged, “Just felt too expensive to keep.”
Johnny rolled his eyes and signaled for Herbie to come in.
“Another load of laundry,: he told the droid.
“Olfactory sensors indicate what he is wearing now is soiled.”
Johnny hid his smile, “Dude, Herbie just said you stink.”
“I didn't bring a change of clothes!” Pete protested.
“My closet, su closet,” he said opening it up, “Pick something to wear.”
Pete grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and started to change.
“What the heck are you wearing?” Johnny said looking at Peter step into the jeans, “What are you wearing?”
Peter made a face, “Um, are these special jeans?”
Johnny sighed, “One, you need to get Tik Tok, two, dude just put on some shorts, we're just chllin.”
Johnny found a pair of blue running shorts and tossed them to Pete. “Just slip those on.”
Pete sighed and pulled them on, tossing his uniform to Herbie.
The droid wished out, leaving Pete and Johnny alone.
“So, thanks for this,” Pete said after a second.
“Right, so you wanna dance around this or just talk about it?”
Pete shook his head and sat on the edge of the bed, “Man, you just don't let a guy get his feet do you?”
Johnny sat next to him, “Look, Pete, we've been friends since we were both teenagers. We literally grew up together, in a way. So when you storm out of here one week and then come back, trying to be all nice the next, I know you want to talk about it. Now we can just talk about it or I can wait the two hours it will take for your uptight ass to get to the point.”
Pete just smiled, “We have known each other forever, haven't we?”
“Ben was like an older brother, but you and me, we were the same age, liked the same things, were both figuring out how to be heroes....yeah man, it's been a stretch.”
“Right,” Pete sighed and ran his hands through his hair, “So you were just trying to help out, and I shouldn't have freaked out about it.”
“I agree.”
“And yeah, maybe I did overreact.”
“Completely overreacted.”
Peter gave him a glare.
“Anyways, so I'm sorry, and will you forgive me?”
Johnny chuckled, “Did that when I invited you over, so come on.”
He said patting the bed.
“What? No, I don't want to do that again.”
“Yeah you do,” Johnny said.
“Um, no I don't.”
“You do, that's why you came over. If you wanted to apologize you would have found me out on patrol. If you wanted to just see if things were cool, you would have texted me. You came over because deep down, you know I'm right. You are in a bad place, and you need a snuggle.”
“Please stop calling it that,” Pete said in a soft voice.
Johnny scooted closer, “Look man, you need to get all this gay, straight shit out of your head. Girls can hang out, snuggle, hug, say they love each other and no one thinks their lesbians. Why can't guys?”
Peter was holding his breath, “I don't know.”
Johnny put his arm around Pete's shoulder and pulled him in, “I love you Peter, you're my best friend and a great guy. Please...let me comfort you.”
Pete leaned into the hug but was still tense.
“Here,” Johnny said, pulling them both back onto the bed, “Just lay here with me, we don't even have to talk.”
Pete laid there as Johnny pulled him close and the two of them laid together, on the bed.
“Breathe...” Johnny said, running his hand through Peter's hair.
Peter let out a deep breath as he leaned into the movement.
“See? Just relax, you're always so worried, so focused. I get that, it's why you're a great guy but Peter...”
He wrapped his arm around the other man and pulled him closer until they were spooning, “Let go...I'll catch you.”
Peter could feel himself tense up.
“Shhhh....” Johnny whispered in his ear, “I'll catch you.”
Pete took a deep breath and leaned back into Johnny, who wrapped him in a bear hug and held him tight. At first, Peter didn't move, not sure what to do. And then slowly, Pete put his hand over Johnny's arm and pulled it closer. And the two of them curled up together, enjoying the silence and the human contact.
Within minutes, Peter was asleep.

MY NEW ROAD - Chapter 1
» Older Daniel Diaz x reader 
» Warnings: mature, romance, blood, gang                                             
Chapter 2
» So i was hoping i could read something about daniel diaz, at the end of 5 ep, and as i was sick of waiting,  so i decided to write a long short about older daniel diaz, so let's go :)
And there I was, in this moment  i was terrified, I could I feel my blood coming out of my belly, it hurts a lot... I couldn't breathe, or think, to be honest I didn't know what to do... Who is he? Why is he here? For a few seconds i felt my body being lifted up.
" Y/N ? Oh please wake up... ahhh SEAN!!!!"
I recognized this voice, but I just let my eyes close, I felt my body fall asleep.
*A FEW HOURS EARLIER*
So HI!! My name is y/n, im 17 and right now I'm living on my own in Mexico, more property in puerto lobos.
I'm a very simple girl, I grew up in LA with my grandparents, I never met my parents, and during my life, my grandparents never told me about their daughter, they just told me that she had abandoned me when I was Little, and as for my father, they didn't know who she was, so I never really cared about that.
I've been living here for about six weeks,I study in a small americam school, near here. I'm loving living here I never thought, that a dream I had since I was little would come true so soon, I decided to live here, because I love Mexican culture and not to mention that living by the beach never tires anyone, and I still have the privilege of seeing the sunset disappear into the waves...
Since I was a child I was very shy and I don't know how to express myself to others anht this is the reason why I've not be able to make friends in this new school yet, I feel ashamed when they look at me or try to talk to me, it's complicated, however, I've always managed to make some friends in LA, people I talk to almost every single day.
it's already 7 am i think i should be preparing for school but i think laziness has won ahaha, I got up and tried to take as little time as possible, I don't want to be late again or Ms. Lopez will kick me out of her class again.
I was new to that school and it wasn't the first time I was late, which I can say I love sleeping, but I have to work harder to make sure that doesn't happen, and I'm going to start right now haha.
I tried to take as little time as possible, of course that for me it's kind of impossible, because, I still had to take a shower before going, but I think at least I won't be late this time, I look at the clock and OMG is already 7:50 and the classes start at 8:00, ahhhhh how will I get to school in 10... Afff so much effort for nothing, well at least I can still get to the beginning of the first class.
On the way to school, I saw him again... I think his name is Daniel, he's from my class but I never talked to him before, and to be honest, I never had the courage to talk to him, well... not only with him, I think with everyone in general, so far I haven't made any friends, except the lady from the apartment next door, and we only talk on Sundays, because we have the same way when we go to church.
  I think I've been looking at him too long... why do I say that? He's looking at me right now. I can't deny it he's beautiful... he's so mysterious, but from what I've seen of him, at school he's very fun, reserved, but fun.
I felt him staring at me, which made me completely ashamed, and my only option for not having to talk to him was to hit him and not, to look at him as I passed by, even with my back to him his gaze managed to make me feel a huge chill, but it's a good thing that I'm already arriving at school.
For real I didn't know what to tell him anyways.
When i arrived at school i came across Ms.Lopez on the way. And I think it was at this moment that I realized I was completely fucked up, I tried to go unnoticed, but without success.
And when I turned back I only saw her ferocious gaze directed at me.
"Miss l/n shouldn't be in class already. Preferably sitting at your desk waiting for me." - she looked at me with a deadly look on her face
"oh I finally find you y/n, thx for waiting for me, and here you have your Spanish book that you lent me." He looked at me and winked at me, so that I could continue with the theater.
"O-of course I do, Daniel, there's nothing to be thankful for" he stands next to me and takes my hand. And he gave me the book, I felt my heart go off a thousand an hour...When I lifted my face I saw his eyes glued on me, why did he protect me?
"Is that why you were late?" She looked at me and then at Daniel, I felt the anger in her eyes
"yes i decided to wait for daniel" i smiled at her, and i felt daniel put himself behind me
"Vamos, no te enojes con ella, maestra. Sólo fue esta vez (Come on, don't get mad at her, teacher. It was just this time .)" Daniel grabbed my shoulders and spoke, I saw Ms. Lopez calm her eyes and take a deep breath.
"Hum being so, i let you pass your delay this time you two have 5 minutes to introduce you in my class, and miss L/N thank the boy Daniel for helping her " his voice was calm now but his words were cold.
She continued on her way to the classroom, and I hear Daniel laughed
"You're welcome!" daniel said as my body moved, his voice was now hoarse, I sounded hypnotized by the voice of him.
"T-thank you for helping me." I tried to be short and quick in my answer. I was so nervous and idk why.
"let's go to class before Ms. Lopez decides to murder us, because we're late" daniel just went on her way but stopped 3 steps ahead of me.
"will have to pull you?" he laughs softly and throws a half smile, my heart, jumped a beat when i saw that smile.
"Y-yes" I just followed him.... When we arrived in the room each one sat in his seat, but for some reason, Daniel kept looking at me and it made me nervous for the rest of the time.
During the rest of the day, everything went as usual, except for the failed attempt by me to escape Daniel's gaze, I  don't know what he was looking for in me, but I think I managed to make him lose interest for a while. I think.
When I finally rang the exit bell, I was the first to leave for the first time, I didn't want to know anything else, I just wanted to get home and enjoy being alone.
When I walked through the school gate, I took a deep breath and tried to rearrange my ideas, how can something as simple as talking to a person make me so nervous?
I'll speed up the walk and look at the sky and then at the sea at the end of the street to calm myself down. I didn't understand what was going on this day but I just asked it to end quickly. Yeah, to tell you the truth, I've never had a boy look at me for so long, am I getting a crush on him? AHHHHH well  I hope not.
When I was almost at home, I felt a chill on my back and soon I could be able to realized what was happening....
"Are you trying to avoid me?" Not that voice, not again.
I turned slowly and there he was, did he follow me? When I looked at him I felt my face boiling with shame.
"Did the Cat eat your tongue?" he looked at me and laughed, and began to approach me.
I tried to ignore to not have to answer, I really suffered from many anxiety problems and did not know what to do in these situations.
"okay i got you, you don't want to talk to me don't worry" he looked at the floor and his cheerful expression went to sadness
"well see you tomorrow at school" when he was going to turn around and continue on his way i screamed
"WAIT"
He turned to me and smiled... OH God that smile was so sweet
"I thought you weren't gonna answer ahaha."
"I'm not ignoring you, or avoiding you...I'm just too shy to talk" I couldn't face his eyes so I just looked at the ground.
"Are you sure? I didn't want to get into it with Ms Lopez, but I knew if I didn't, she'd kick you out of her class" when I looked up I came across the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen.
It made me blush, involuntarily, I didn't know what to say.
"thank you...and it's okay, I'd be kicked out if it wasn't for you too, so thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome, I've always seen you being very shy with everyone and you don't seem to be the kind of person who would be late on purpose, well, I won't take up your time. See you tomorrow"
he said with a perverse smile on his face
"Oh and if tomorrow you want company for the school I can wait here for you".
I didn't have time to say anything else I just agreed and entered the building.
When I got home I lay on the couch, looking at the ceiling, trying to see what had happened, I didn't notice it, but I felt my body tired and ended up falling asleep.
"Daniel... Something about him attracted me...'
I opened my eyes very slowly, I looked at the window and it was already dark, I picked up my phone and turned it on, I had 5 unanswered calls from my grandmother, this was strange she didn't call me so often
I dialed her number and called...
"y/n honey is you?"
"yes Grandma, what's going on?  I'm sorry I was so tired that I fell asleep and didn't hear you call".
Without telling me anything else she felt like she was crying, but what happened to make my grandmother cry she hardly ever does, and when I say that she doesn't, it's because it's rare.
"Honey, I have something to tell you... Your mother is looking for you," those words left me unanswered, my mother?
No...
No...
Couldn't be, my mother abandoned me 16 years ago, for me she died... I started crying, that person who abandoned me 16 years ago, now its looking for me why? I had so many questions in my mind, I couldn't talk to anybody, I just need some time.
"honey are there? Y/n?" My grandmother called me...
"I'm sorry Grandma, I need to think a little, I'll call you later."
"darling no-" i hung up on her, i don't like to do this but i need time to process
I got up, grabbed my jacket and went out towards the beachWhen I got there I sat down on the sand, and watched the sea, and the waves coming at me, I didn't want to believe that my mother was looking for me, if she hadn't wanted me in 16 years, she wouldn't want me now.... Now I did not even want her back
At that moment I felt that I was not alone there, I turned around and saw a group of people coming towards me.
I got up quickly and tried to get out of there, but it was too late.
Fear sometimes makes us irrational, and at this moment I did not know what to do, I did not know how to react, I was scared, I felt one of the men grabbing me by the arms, and attached me to his body
"hey you, don't move so much kittens, let's talk"
The second man spoke and stood in front of me, and grabbed my face forcing me to look at him.
"so you're the Diaz little princess aren't you?" I wasn't noticing anything, I just tried to get away but without success, I wonder what would happen to me...
I tried to fight and I tried to let go, but unfortunately I only did worse, he pressed himself behind my back and won't let me go.
"Let's teach that boy a lesson, that's what he and his brother will pay to judge us dumb."
One of them pulled a knife out of his waist and approached me...
"NO PLEASE DON'T"
I started screaming, and crying madly, I was now completely scared.
At that very moment, I felt the blade pierce my skin... I didn't know what to do, I just tried to struggle
But when I turned my head, there he was, out of nowhere, the people around me were thrown away, I felt my body fall into the sand...
And there I was, in this moment  i was terrified, I could I feel my blood coming out of my belly, it hurts a lot... I couldn't breathe, or think, to be honest I didn't know what to do... Who is he? Why is he here? For a few seconds i felt my body being lifted up.
" Y/N ? Oh please wake up... ahhh SEAN!!!!"
I recognized this voice, but I just let my eyes close, I felt my body fall asleep...
But to be honest I felt my body warm, from this moment on, it just got dark.

Wake up Call, Infinity Ch.3
Summary: QUEEN AU WHERE ROGER (ROWAN)IS A19 YEAR OLD SINGLE DAD TRYING TO FIND A PLACE IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC
WARNINGS: iNTENSE FLUFF AND SOME SWEARING
Chapter 3: Row has to start stepping out of the bubble him and his daughter have been living in while in the safety of the hospital, and break the news to his best friends. 
John- Rick
Fred-Len
Bri- Terry
Rog- Rowan
When Row had hung up on Len mid sentence, the boys had been confused. Then again, he was at his mom's house and they had heard her infamous shout of <<ROWAN EUGENE QUEEN>> that always preceded an argument, so they let it go. But then he didn't turn up to rehearsal, or called back for the rest of the afternoon. Or the following afternoon. Or for rest of the week. And that was unlike him. He always called back. (Well, most of his former one night stands would disagree with this). Let's just say he always called his band mates back. Sometimes drunk, at 4 AM, Thus leaving  a wakeful Terry with 2 hours to spare nothing to do but to start revising for whatever exam he had ahead.
So, when they didn't know of him, they went directly to the village's police station, to see if he was locked up, and if not, to report him missing.
"What if we ask Gina?" Rick suggested
"I'd rather check the morgue first, thanks" Len said.
"Well, what else can we do? Huh?"
"Audition new drummers"
"Seriously boys. Let's go."
They knocked on Row's childhood home. Gina opened, with messy hair, a dressing gown and slippers
"Oh, hello boys. He ain't here" she took a drag of the 4th cigarette she had smoked that day despite it only being 8:30 AM.
"Where is he?"
"He isn't at home?"
"We've checked and there's no track of him. We haven't seen him in 7 days"
She sighed "in the hospital, I think. If he hasn't left already"
"Hospital?" All three said simultaneously
"What happened?!" Len added
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
She smiled, mockingly "Wow, father of the year isn't so sure after all"
"What?"
She laughed bitterly. If he hadn't told his best friends yet, it maybe meant he was reconsidering the whole thing. Maybe common sense had hit him after the first stinky nappy.
"You know what? Come in."
"Oh we were actually in a rush..."
"You wanna find him or not? Come in, I don't bite
"Alright" all three musicians entered somewhat awkwardly in the house where so many sleep overs had taken place, back in the day.
She led them to the kitchen, where the phone was, and dialed.
Callie was the closest to the phone "Row? Yes, I'll get him"
She made her way to the room where the Prune had been moved in the previous evening, due to her favourable evolution and the need of free incubators.
She grinned at the scene: the 6 day old infant was dozing against her dad's bare chest, supported by his hands -which seemed huge in comparison to her small figure-. His eyes were closed, but Callie could tell he was awake as his left hand was stroking her head. It was adorable, and they seemed at such peace -poor Row had spent his first whole night on night watch and was exhausted-.
"Row" she called softly
He opened his big blue eyes in acknowledgement.
"You have a call"
"A call? From who?" He whispered back, before looking down at the baby to make sure she was asleep
"Didn't say. But she was kind of irritated"
"Oh, that's mom then" he smiled sarcastically, but didn't move a bit.
"You aren't gonna get on the phone?"
"I don't know. She doesn't deserve our attention does she?" He cooed
"How bad can it be?"
"You don't wanna see my bad side. And I don't ever want her to see it either"
Callie smiled "Go. I'll stay with her"
He groaned in annoyance. He was so comfortable, and he didn't want to get up.
"C'mere darling" he mumbled, detaching his daughter from his lap and carefully lying her on the cot
He exited the room and walked to the phone "What?"
"Row! Where are you?" The three voices of his best friends greeted him from the other side
"Oh, hi guys I... How did you get this number?"
"We're calling you from your mum's. She says you're in hospital" Terry's soft voice said worriedly
"You've gone fucking AWOL! Where are you man? We're worried as hell" Len scolded
"Oh yeah, hehe been..."he scratched the back of his head "been pretty busy" He glanced in the direction of his daughter's room, where he saw Callie readjusting the yellow teddy bear he had bought her the second day.
"Busy? With what?" Rick inquired
"It's... It's a long story."
"Well we've got time"
"Shouldn't you be in uni?" Row said in hopes they'd have to run into class
"It's Sunday, Row!"
"Oh is it?" He had lost track of time, honestly
"C'mon! Spit it"
He sighed "Alright, huh..." He tried to think of where to start. He couldn't really think much tho; his brain was pudge at that moment. "I met a girl in..." He counted nine months back from February "June?" No wait Piper was premature so it could be July or... Then it hit him. "No, remember that afternoon when we set up that Live Aid session in your parents backyard, Len?"
The boys nodded. July 13th. How could they forget? It had been dubbed the best Summer Party of 1985 in town. The four of them had tried to get tickets, but they couldn't even afford a ticket to London in the first place. And so, They watched the whole show with four TV screens around the yard instead, and the whole village had joined them, arguing on which performance had been the best.
Of course, all four members of Symbols agreed that it had been Queen.
"But they signed up late" someone said 
 "Yea, they came late to the party" another agreed. 
"So what? They rocked the party! You just say that because you like U2 better"
 "Like you prefer Queen!" 
 "But we've got a point! Regardless of how much we like them, they were, objectively, the best performance" /
"Objectively? Bullshit!" Anne Williams snapped "They played the same shit they always play! And Bono was a true gentleman, helping that girl who was getting crashed by the crowd."
 "Yea, I'm sure Freddie wouldn't have given a shit, so full of himself and his teeth up his~" /
Dennis Phelps couldn't finish his sentence as a  someone tossed him a Converse, which hit his head. A young woman, with Bowie-like orange dyed haircut approached, with  a bare left foot and the matching shoe on the other 
 "You know nothing about putting up a good show then. Also, you mess with Freddie Mercury again and next time the shoe will be stuck up your ass" she told Dennis, retrieving the item "I mean, it's clear who I'm rooting for but Queen really did what had to be done. Geldof told them all to play the hits, because that's precisely why they're hits: they work. Other artists, like your boyfriend Bono and his band played new material, as if this was their concert. And it's not. Even though they signed up on time and whatever. They took a risk, crowd didn't know the song, they lost interest. But Queen had common sense: they played the hits, the anthems, and people connected with them. And it's not about Freddie or him hypnotizing Wembley. It's having some common sense. And not even you two knew the lyrics of U2s new song. So shut the hell up"
Row had liked her instantly. That's a girl who knows the stuff.
They exchanged a smile, a wink and a complicit nod
"We must join our forces to help out our friends under pressure, don't we?" She said
"Oh yes, Bowie girl." Terry remembered
"Yep."
"So what's with her?" Rick said
"Well, that.. she..." He cut himself off when a cry echoed in Pip's room "Gotta go, guys. I'll call you back"
"No! Row!" Len said, but the line went dead
"Shit"
"What happened?" Gina, who had watched the scene from the door frame, -and was about to finish her 6th cigar in a row,- asked
"He rambled about that Live Aid day, and a girl he met there"
"Did he say her name?"
"No. He had to go suddenly. It's all weird"
"Yea, well... Life is weird, boys"
"I don't understand. What's going on? Can't you tell us, Mrs. Queen?"
"Oh no. No. It's not my story to tell. Nor my business. I tried my best, but that stubborn bastard didn't listen. I'm sorry" she said
"But is he okay?" Len asked, concerned
Gina grinned, at how despite it all, the four boys would stick up with each other to the end of the world "Yes. He's fine."
"Row, are you okay?" Callie said, as the drummer wordlessly took the bundle from her
"Yes, yes. Why wouldn't I be?" He said, sitting with the fussy baby
"You're a bit pale"
"Oh I... Nothing. Just... I'm nervous honestly. Because we're about get discharged and I'm gonna be alone with her and I'll have to dad around all by myself and... And everyone will know..."
"Know what?"
"About her"
"And is that a problem?" Callie crossed her arms
"No, I mean... No, of course not. But everyone will ask questions and judge me and... I'm worried I will end up believing them more and fuck it all up"
"Believing what?"
"They'll start telling me it's a mistake, that I'm gonna screw everything up and that I won't be able to be a good dad and I'm afraid it will become true"
"So you're saying that how people think of you is gonna affect the way you... How you called it? Dad around?"
He nodded "Well, answer me these, will you? Have you, in this moment or at any point during these seven days, thought you are making a mistake?"
He looked at the tiny bundle and shook his head.
"Are you willing to always do your best for the shake of Piper?"
He nodded, noticing he was unconsciously rocking her back and forth.
"Then what's the problem?"
"Look I haven't exactly been a role model in... Well anything. One thing my mom's proud of is that I'm not into drugs. Everyone who has a daughter in the block hates me. So how am I supposed to raise one?"
"Exactly how you've been doing the last six days"
"Yes but I have you guys. And the medics, and the equipment. But there I'll be all alone"
"You will never be alone. You have the friends you've told me about. And your mum...Maybe the little darling is gassy"
"Oh stop about my mum" he carefully changed the Prune to an upright position and began to rub circles on her back without even hesitation. Wow he was actually getting a hold on the burping stuff.
"Yes. Your mum will eventually come to terms with the lil'raisin. I'm sure." She said, whist handing him a muslin to place on the baby's range of accuracy
"Oh you don't know her"
"I know she's a mum. Your mum and mother's rarely ever turn their backs on their children for good"
Row looked at the baby, then raised an eyebrow at Callie
"I said it's rare. There are obviously exceptions" she said "And believe me you're better off. Also, she did call. That's gotta Mean  something"
"I didn't speak with her. Just the band. They were at her place, yeah but... I don't know. I'm not gonna beg on my fucking knees..." He was interrupted by a burp I his ear. Damn, that was a big one. He'd need 2 beers to produce such a loud one.
"Easy, tiger." He laughed "Goddamn it, where did that come from, huh? You're unbelievable" he praised, while getting the muslin out his shoulder and handing it to Callie
"And a neat one too. 10/10." She chuckled
"Atta girl. That's my lil'raisin. Yeah, good girl" he cooed, bringing her to face him, before she started fussing and he nested her again on his chest "Aw, don't cry honey. Please. You're alright. C'mon" he begged. She settled down quickly, and he sighed in relief.
"The point is, that here is like... I feel safe, you know? It's like another world. Another life. And now I have to fit her in my every day, and be in charge and stuff, and... I'm not sure I'm ready"
"Parents are never ready to take them home. Not even those who had 9 months of preparation, and parenting classes, and a nicely decorated and supplied nursery. No one feels ready. But nerves are good. Nerves mean that you care. Worrying and doubting about your ability to be the dad your child needs is precisely what's gonna make you raise your game. Just one last question: are you 100% that you love that lil one with all your heart?"
He looked at his daughter, who had gone back to sleep with the rambling of his voice, as his hand still caressed head and grinned "Hell yeah" Otherwise, how could he explain the way his chest seemed to be holding two hearts whenever she was in his arms? Or how, when he had to leave for the night it felt as though both those hearts were ripped away from him? Or how else could he have turned this goddamn sappy? Yep. That was the proof.
"Then that's all the two of you will ever need. She won't care if you two are rich or live in a cardboard box, or if she wasn't in your initial plans, or that she doesn't have a mom. As long as you love her and make her feel like it."
He nodded, and rested his lips on her soft scalp.
"Right, I Gotta get to another patient. Call'em back."
He stood up, this time taking his Prune along, and went to the corridor where the phone was. Making sure her head was safely cradled along with the rest of her small body on his left arm, he tucked the phone between the right shoulder and neck and dialed their shared place's number
Rick picked up "Yes?"
"I'm a dad" he said simply, and waited for his reaction. 
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I’ll post the picture separately in order to preserve my goddamn sanity cause Tumblr is being a pain in the arse!!!!!
How do you guys do it? Am I the only one who needs 5 bloody tries to post this things?

"She called the cops?!" gang!Ashton (Golden Star Fanfic)
Tumblr media
A/N: Hey, yo guys! :) So, third part is heeeeere. You guys really did hit the likes last chapter and here's your reward. I don't know yet how I'm going to do this, but I'm trying to be away from the usual "he's a bad boy, but he's so sweet to me", like, hell no, he's a fucking criminal. I don't want to do this too heavy, but I don't want to be another soft story either. Let's see how it goes.
Remember: The next chapter only comes if this one gets, at least, 30 notes.
Summary: Ashton vanished from your life, apparently, but you know he always keep an eye on you. Well, not him, but always a partner and that day, Calum. But he's not the only company for the night.
You can find the previous parts here.
Hope you guys like it, don't forget to reblog, so I can know that there's someone out there liking my stuff. 💋
~
Another three months have passed without you hearing about Ashton or the Golden Star. You kept seeing his partners everywhere you got, but after too many useless fights with the blonde man you just gave up, knowing that talk to him was like talk to a door. Even though they were there to protect you, you couldn't not fear them, they were a gang, after all. Some days you wondered what would have happen if you haven't stopped to help Ashton, what the gang would do, what your life would be. Not that it had change this much, apart of always having an (probably) drug dealer on your feet, your life kept the same. Work, home, some bars with friends... Nothing too much. Most of times you forgot about the guys following you, specially if they were older, they usually did anything to keep hidden, this job too boring for them, the youngers were the problem, you lost count how many times your friends got worried and you had to text Ashton so he could say to the guy back off.
"Hey, Hood." you said when you got home. His motorcycle parked at your front yard was odd, he was hidden most of the time.
"Everything's good?" he asked passing his hands through his hair.
"Yeah, why?" you were trying to open your door, but with the amount of stuff on your arms it was hard.
"Let me help you." he got closer and took your stuff.
"Thank you." you said after getting in on the house. "What happened? I never see you."
"Luther said that a guy was following you." he said and your eyes got wide. "Here just to make sure that everything is OK. You saw anyone?"
"No." you deny. "You wanna come in, right?"
"Yeah, I was supposed to go in without you knowing, but I thought it was best to ask."
"Please. And is not like I have a choice either." you opened the door and saw Calum getting his gun from his jacket after lighting off his cigarette. You rolled your eyes, knowing that the Luther guy was probably overreacting and let Calum look around the house, waiting for him in the living room until he come back. "So?"
"All clear."
"You know, have you guys always on my back is more dangerous than live on my own."
"I highly doubt. Anyways, I will be at my spot if you need anything."
"That's OK. Do you wanna eat something?" you asked while walking to the kitchen, the last time you had eaten was in lunch, you were hungry as hell.
"You know you deal with this way too well?" he laughed and followed you sitting on the bench at the other side of the counter.
"Realized that I can't beat Irwin, you guys are staying until he gets tired of me, so... Just going with the dance." you hand him a jar full with chocolate cookies. "Secretly I'm always in the middle of getting an panic attack."
"Ashton is loyal to who matters. You saved his life, the only way he would let you go is if you die." he eats one cookie. "This is good." you give him a glass of milk as well, the six foot man in front of you almost looking like a child while eating. For a briefly moment you almost forgot who he was.
"My mom's recipe." you smiled going out of your gaze and taking a cookie and milk yourself. You two eat in silence, it's not like you two had a lot to talk about, actually that was probably the first time you two talked for so long. "Well, since you're not going anywhere, make yourself home, you don't need to freeze outside." you take your stuff again, going out of the kitchen while he's looking at you, surprised. "Going with the dance, Calum. Good night, please don't steal anything."
"You have my word." he said while sitting on the couch and rolling his eyes. "Which is nothing to you, I know."
"At least you understand better than your friend." you smiled going away.
It was about 3AM when you felt an hand on your mouth, you woke up in desparation only to see Calum keeping your mouth shut and making a sign for you to be in silence, showing you his gun.
"What the fuck?" you asked whispering, he nodded to your window, it was when you saw the blue and red lights. Someone called the police.
"You did this?" the usual nice expression of him was terrifying and you just shook your head, too afraid to say anything. "You sure?"
"Calum, I was sleeping!" you hissed in a whisper. "I don't know what's happening." suddenly both of you heard a noise coming from the guests room, your heart skipped a beat when Calum held you, getting you out of the bed and keeping his gun next to your stomach.
"Don't make a sound." he said after he chocked his gun, pointing again to your stomach. You can't really believe that he actually believes that you called the cops, but having a gun against your skin isn't the best incentive to talk anything. The look on his face makes you wanna cry in fear, but you just try your best not to. Your bedroom door opens slowly and you see a tall man coming.
"What the fuck?" you heard Luke's voice. "She called the cops? You called the cops? Are you fucking insane?"
"I didn't-" you started to talk, but got interrupted by a knock on your front door. You looked at the two men in your room, completely desperated.
"Come." Calum said pushing you. You two walked to your living room, Calum's gun against your back. "Find out what this is." he said in your ear without taking the gun from your back, talking so low that you almost don't hear him, then he hides behind the door, now pointing the gun to your head while you open it, you don't really know how you're not crying.
"Something wrong, miss?" the cop says, you just shook your head, denying. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm. I was sleeping, what is this about?" you fake your best sleepy voice and face, but you're almost sure that he isn't believing.
"A neighbor saw a man wandering around your living room and said that it was odd, called us to check." he said again, trying to see behind you, but you just straight up yourself to try to not let him.
"A man? I dont-" you were interrupt by the feeling of one hand holding your waist and a cold feeling back in your back.
"What's happening?" you hear Luke say, you looked at him only to see him on his boxers, his hair like a mess, looking like he just woke up. "What's wrong, babe?" he looks at you smiling, raising his eyebrows in a clear sign to you keep the act. You can see Calum rolling his eyes to Luke, the gun still pointing to your head while Luke's gun was on your back.
"The neighbor saw you sleeping on the couch, babe, and got worried, since no one knows you yet." you said without even trying to sound nice, sarcasm going through your tong. "New relationship." you smiled to the cop.
"Got it. If you need anything, call us. Sorry for bother." he says going away. You shut your door turning around to see the both guys looking at you, both taking a deep breath.
"What the fuck was that?" you asked, going to your couch feeling like you were about to get sick and fall on the floor since your legs feels like jelly.
"Your neighbors called the cops? Seriously?" Calum said putting his gun on the jacket.
"Yeah! I was sleeping, for God's sake. And you? What the fuck were you thinking?" you look at Luke. He shrugs, still handing his gun. "Where's your clothes?"
"At your room."
"I can't keep with this." you were passing your fingers through your hair. "You two were pointing guns to me!!!!! TWO. And how the hell did you even got here?"
"I called him when I saw the cops." Calum said. "We need to talk with Ashton. He need to know what happened." he was talking to Luke, who just nodded and got to your room to get dressed.
"You can't go." you say getting up and going to your room while followed by Calum.
"What, why? You just said-" Luke is almost dressed.
"Yeah, but now my neighbors think that we're together, it will be odd if you don't show up tomorrow morning." you pointed.
"She's right." Luke says. "Go to Ashton, I'll take the shift."
"If I were you two, I wouldn't try to sleep. Ashton will be here in the minute I get there." Calum says opening the door. "We should all go."
"What? No! For God's sake, I'll not go back there."
"You don't have a choice." Luke says throwing you something to wear.
