more reversed sagau brainrot!! | a lot more under the cut
- when scara sorta just ✨materializes✨ in your apartment and you’re like excuse me wtf is happening, so u pinch yourself to see if its a dream and its not apparently so you must be going insane BECAUSE WHAT OTHER EXPLANATION WOULD THERE BE FOR ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTERS EXISTING IN YOUR APARTMENT
- i’d feel like in the sagau or reversed sagau he wouldn’t be too fond of the all-creator bc if thats the all-creator wouldn’t that mean that you’re the one responsible for his existence and his suffering?? but when he just sees you being so genuinely nice and caring and yet strong and doesn’t take his shit he kinda lets down the guard a little
- plus he literally has nowhere else to stay so when you threatened to kick him out he realized it was either live with you or out on the streets. and he kinda hated the streets, so he ended up trying to find your place all dirty and stuff from tripping in way too many godforsaken random holes in the ground. poor gremlin.
- he is just super bratty and still has that air of “i think im better than you” but it never works on you bc you dont take his shit and you make him do half of your chores when your pissed at him (and you make sure there are no complaints)
- he wouldn't call you your grace after a while and just uses your name, you however come up with a million nicknames for him and you think its funny that it annoys him on occasion
- you argue. A lot. like so much that your neighbour and the apartment below you complained several times and also kinda tried to make the landlord kick u out so you made scara apologize to them bc hes mainly the reason its so noisy
- he will actually follow you everywhere, sorta like a guard dog. everyone around you is pretty intimidated by him but they are even more scared of you when they see that you basically keep him in check
- he can’t fucking cook dear lord. you told him to stay in the fucking apartment bc you had an important meeting today and he couldnt come with you and he was like “i didnt want to come anyway” and you just said “fuck you” (affectionate) in return (note: wrote this before his signature dish came out and he’s actually a really good cook don’t judge me ahaha)
- but when you come back your apartment and kitchen especially is a mess. you forgot to teach him how to use online delivery. and hes just like chilling out watching tv with mild interest, acting like half of your apartment isnt covered in eggs and flour and who knows what else
“scara what the fuck happened here”
“the stupid stove of yours doesnt work and neither does that beeping machine”
“clean it up”
“no”
“well i guess we wont have any food today or tomorrow, until you clean. it. UP." *glare*
he then leaves it but by the next afternoon he's actually getting hungry and grumpy and eventually starts cleaning it up the next day when he can't take it anymore and you finally come home to a clean kitchen bc thank god, you didn't know how much longer you could live on your co-worker's lunches
- you're both just so stubborn. he's stubborn and so are you and that leaves the apartment just with a tense silence AND when someone sees u at that time they feel so uncomfortable bc the atmosphere is just so tense between the two of you since neither of you agree
- silent treatment happens a lot and its really fucking stupid bc you both wanna talk to each other after like a few days but neither of you want to be the first one to admit that
- omg you absolutely hate having guests now BECAUSE HOW ARE YOU MEANT TO EXPLAIN HIM??? also he has to have normal clothes now and he looked at all your clothing choices in disgust
- everyone thinks he's just a friend until they realize he actually lives with you and then they're like "oohhhh are you together??" and think that he's your boyfriend/partner. and honestly you dont even deny it bc there is no feasible way to explain who he really is (without sounding crazy) + you get your parents off your back abt getting a boyfriend bc they kept trying to make you go on blind dates and now you're free from that phew
- but some of your friends/co-workers are all like "really? this lil guy? and they often say this around him and it just annoys and offends him to no end. but also you're surprisingly defensive of him, like yes he's a bitchy emo gremlin but he's your bitchy emo gremlin

this has already probably been asked, but what's yor opinion on the other bachelors and bachelorettes in town? (you don't have to do ALL of them! just do a few if you want!!)
i'm not one to usually talk aloud about my neighbors, but let's give this a shot. for all intents and purposes.
Tumblr media
might as well go through the whole list while we're at it. and hey, just a fair warning: my opinion is always subject to change. i'm just speaking based on what i know for now.
Tumblr media
alright. prepare for some blabbing. if you're not interested, there's your cue to bounce.
alex: alex is complicated. he's a little self-absorbed. and arrogant. but he's also not as mean as he seems. he just has this whole "bad boy" image he likes to put on for whatever reason. at his core, i think he's actually a pretty nice guy. we both like gridball and can chat over that so i can't really complain too much. sebastian: i hardly see this guy around. maybe during town festivals or at the saloon playing pool, yeah, but i can count on my fingers the amount of times we've talked one on one. it's possible he's just not much of a talker. i can't figure out if he's reserved or just doesn't have a lot to say. dude's doing his own thing most of the time and that's fine by me. elliott: his speech and outlook on life can come off as kinda pretentious or egotistical, though to be fair... if i were him, i'd be the same way. he's done well for himself. he's a little hard to catch since he never leaves the house, but if you get him talking about books, his passion is pretty admirable. it's just hard to connect with him because he always seems to have this "mysterious elusive writer" image up.
sam: i don't mind this guy, actually. he's my co-worker too which i guess is a good thing. he's laid-back and doesn't sweat the little stuff. super easy going, just wants to chill out and have a good time... we're not close buddies or anything, but from our short break room chats, it's clear he's pretty passionate about music. almost reminds me of myself when i was younger. he's got a good head on his shoulders. harvey: what can i say? he saved my life when i was at my lowest. i've got a lot of respect for the work he does and for taking me in that night. sure, he's dorky, but he's way smarter than i could ever dream of being, so who am i to judge? he's like the dream kid every parent wishes theirs could be. hope the guy's not overworking himself. knowing him though, he probably is... emily: she's one of the closer friends i have in this shitty town. she's been incredibly optimistic for as long as i've known her and normally that'd piss me off, but i actually find her tolerable. maybe it's the way she accepted me and stayed kind even when i was being a piece of shit. i gotta appreciate her for that.
abigail: i know she's pierre's daughter and that's about where my knowledge stops. like sebastian, i hardly ever see her, let alone find a reason to chat. she's a mystery to me. i do wonder if she has any hard feeling towards me, considering my job at joja right across from her dad's store. knowing the trouble that corporation's caused them, i'm not sure i'd forgive me either. hopefully she gets that it's not my call though.
haley: i never thought i'd say this out loud, but she's kind of the stereotype for spoiled city girl. she thinks she's all that and you just get the sense that she thinks she's better than you. she probably sees me as nothing more than dirt beneath her shoes for all i know. although honestly, i think it's just a defense mechanism for some deeper insecurity. i can see right through that.
penny: she's jas's teacher and also the only teacher for the kids in town. that's gotta be a handful. thankfully it seems like she really loves what she does. i have a feeling she just wants to do the right thing, which is hard to find in people these days. she also has to deal with pam's alcoholic instability at home but never gives up or lets herself become hopeless and i admire her for that. good for her.
maru: while i don't know her personally, i know she's accomplished. from what i've seen and heard from her proud dad, they work together on science research projects and whatnot. with a strong support system like hers she's set up for a future making headlines as an astronomer or something like that. she strikes me as someone who struggles to take things easy but that's pretty normal for goal-oriented people. i don't have much to say about her aside from that. leah: she's my neighbor, if you can even call it that. every time i see her art in the town square, i've gotta admit, it gets a nod of approval from me. i try not to knock other people's art, but every now and then i see these abstract pieces going for a million g that make me think i could've made them at home for a buck or two. so i gotta hand it to her. her craft is impressive.

Class 1A Boys + music they listen to (PART 2)
Tumblr media
There's always that ONE person who is like a parent when it comes to his whole class and music making sure it's "school appropriate" and that would be no other than the class rep, Iida.
Has a playlist for literally his life routine lol (study, relaxing, outings, running in the rain in his retro raincoat 😂,etc.). I feel like he would listen to like 90's music, classic rock (his fav artist is Foo Fighters for sure) he doesn't mind playing his stuff every now and then but he's busy most of the time preparing for class. nerd lol.
May sound shocking but he likes SOME rap but it's all old school rap/hip-hop like Biggie, Ice T, Usher, MC Hammer but he only listens to it outside of U.A though because he doesn't want "taint his image of class rep". He tried trying new school rap and..let's say he'll just stay where he is (he almost got hurt BUT that's for another story!)
The only classmate that is so chill with almost every genre of music is Sero. Even songs in different languages and more exotic genres like nudisco, jazzfunk, and french house (which are his favorites, cause it's a rarity he cherishes). He would play japanese funk while he drives down the road JUST for the ✨aesthetic✨ (future au idea). Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis, Doja Cat, Rosalia, JIAFEI just any other artist that sings in another language other than english he'll know. And he sings it so well but has no idea what a lick of it means well except for japanese.
Is not scared of talking about it to any of his classmates and actually persuading them to give it a try or if he plays it on his bluetooth speaker before class starts and then one of his classmates asks him the next day for ex: Tokoyami asks him "Hey Sero, what was that techo like song were you playing yesterday, for some reason it's in my head." and then the tape boi will go through his recently played songs from yesterday (he's a yt music kinda guy tbh). Then basically almost everybody is interested in what he has in store next
In other words he's the one who always brings his speaker to class but is respectful and plays it before class even starts, he's an early bird.
Denki, is the twin of Sero cool with any kind of music but leans more into the weebcore/rap category. He most likely will play weeb music in his dorm room, the usual anime openings and ending theme songs with a dorky smile on his face humming along while reading manga.
Is the aux cord GOD, will never disappoint the Bakusquad with any music he plays in the car he'll play some Marshmello and everyone would get littt🔥🔥🔥 or some nostalgic jpop to sing awfully off tune to to piss off Bakugo ofc.
youtube
youtube
Fun Fact: The whole Bakusquad got kicked out of his car at least five times singing terribly lmaooooo
(!!I'M WRITING THIS HEADCANON BEFORE THE TRAITOR ERA HE HAD!!)⬇️
💅Voguing king✨ that's the title Yuga Aoyama gives himself when his headphones are filled with the sounds of VOGUE EDITS IM SORRY HE SERVES CUNT ISTG GO LOOK AT HIS HERO COSTUME UGHHHH 😫 he even putson fashion shows with the Class A Girls 🥺🥺 *imagines him voguing to this 1 hour playlist of just phonk/runway music cause I can*
youtube
He is also very bold at expressing his love for future funk obsession, his peers don't mind it at all..well, ONE person *cough cough bakugo*. ⬇️
youtube
Totally applies his makeup (generally eyeliner cause he has the ✨prettiest✨ eyes, fight me 🤪)to either one of those two categories imo (he gives me when i suddenly want to try runway eyeliner makeup😭 -cries in non fem queen-)
BEST FOR LAST MOTHAFUCKIN' BAKUGO AND KIRISHIMA aka BakuKiri or KiriBaku (shoutout to the shippers for that pair✌️) 💥🤟
Heavy Metal/Death Metal for Bakugo
NEFFEX, Rock and workout tunes for Kirishima
Five Finger Death Punchis literally Boom Boom Boi's fav and Kiri is in the car just vibing and just not minding it at all knowing it's his way of relieving stress from work plus it's manly sounding anyway to him as well so whatever makes him happy ❤️
Psst..come here..*whispers in your ear* Bakugo gets with Tokoyami for secret thrashing sessions sometimes 🤫
YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T! THE DARK OVERLORD AND THE ANGRY POMERANIAN THRASHING TOGETHER LMAOO AND THEN KIRI JOINS IN LATER AND THEN THE WHOLE BAKUSQUAD LMAOAOAO
Now Kiri goes to the gym pumping iron to some Neffex is a must for him that's his whole workout niche but anywhere his workout playlist goes who knows?
Has a whole thrash playlist as well go figs
youtube
Disco on the treadmill? yes please
Dubstep while throwing around that heavy ass rope? yessir yessir
At the end of the day he's chillin' to some chillstep while laying on his bed after a shower, resting to recharge for the next day
MIneta...yeahhhh dont give him the aux cord..just don't trust him
Imma just say one word that he would blare on someone speaker
Cupcakke
That is all..so hide yo aux cords or don't bring it at all and just stick to the radio

Hihi!! Could you do Josiah with a s/o that gets jealous easily/is kinda possessive?
Josiah x GN! Reader Who's Possessive
♡ Josiah isn't much of a jealous person himself, actually. He's a pretty chill dude- even if he felt such a way, you probably wouldn't be able to tell unless he directly told you. That being said, he doesn't necessarily understand your own possessive feelings
♡ Say, a new co-worker walks in, completely normal & fine. You normally don't give a shit about new recruits unless you were forced to be their tour guide or something like that. However, they immediately found themselves gravitating toward Josiah's cubicle for whatever strange reason. And you know what? Fine. It's whatever.
♡ But when you had noticed them lingering around for about an HOUR OR SO, things became a little weird for you. After all, don't they have work to do? Sure, they're new, but they should be occupied with something else or at the very least be prohibited from annoying WORKING (well...) employees.
♡ Casually making your way toward your boyfriend's cubicle, your tone of voice was a little more aggressive than usual. Accompanied by your usage of words, it was apparent to anyone smart that you were pissed. Which was how you figured out your new recruit was as oblivious as a rock. Yipee.
♡ Leaning yourself against the side of the booth, you wait for the new person to notice your presence. A minute went by and they were still so rapt in talking to your clearly uninterested boyfriend. He wasn't even saying anything back, how can you force a conversation for this long?
♡ "Hey, what's up," Attempting to smile, the only thing you could manage was a sly smirk. They looked up with a startled expression before their eyebrows curled downward, a look of pure annoyance written all over their face. "Hi." Yet their tone sounded so sweet with their sour face. "Jo, do you know this person?" Why did they give him a nickname... they just met him?
♡ "I think I do, pretty well actually," Josiah smiled your way, easing the tension between you and the new colleague. He was clearly uncomfortable with the recruit being in his face and way too talkative, giving him nicknames he's never asked for on top of other stupid things.
♡ "Oh we're dating, sorry, what's your name?" A part of you was genuinely curious while the other part was satisfied that you made it clear Josiah was off the market, given their sudden interest in the man. They quickly gave you their name, and made an excuse to leave after an hour of loitering around Josiah's cubicle.
♡ "Dude, that was weird, how much did they bother you?" You lean down to Josiah's sitting height and giggled, making sure the newbie was out of hearing range. "I didn't even do anything and they just... came over here? I guess. It was OK at first but it got annoying really fast." Josiah kept his neutral expression.
♡ "People need to know what boundaries are." You sigh, Josiah giving you an agreeing nod. At least your jealousy took you somewhere good, you saved Josiah from having his ear talked off. An achievement in your book. "Just don't be so uptight about things." He calmly reassured you, knowing you were a little tense the entire time.
♡ You let out a chuckle, flicking Josiah's hat up for funsies and returning to your cubicle to finish work for the day. That didn't stop you from thinking about the newbie, though. Oh well. Josiah wasn't even remotely interested and it'd be like that until the end of time, though that probably won't stop you from being a lil' possessive over him. And Josiah would never understand that.

My biggest gripe with Prime so far is it's narrative insisting that Sonic is somehow a person who took his friends for granted and that he needs to go on some kind of self-discovering journey because of it, despite nothing Sonic has really done so far actually reflecting it. The catalyst for the show happening in the first place is Sonic getting pissed at Eggman shit talking Tails; doesn't seem like someone who took his friends for granted. Hell, if anything, Sonic won't shut the hell about the Powar of Friendship. The show's synopsis made it sound like he's his Fleetway counterpart, when at worst he's just kinda dumb because there wouldn't be a conflict otherwise, and the so-called bad selfish things he's done are honest to God mistakes and things no one could have predicted.
This in turn has the unintended effect of not only making Sonic's friends from his primary universe look like ones who hold him to standards that are impossible to meet, but the alternate dimension versions of them too. Especially Nine Tails, who in my personal opinion, has been kind of insufferable so far. Even with taking his differing background into consideration, at best he comes off as someone with the biggest stick jammed up his ass, and at worst he just seems like one of those try-hard whiny Punk-Emo kids who think they're being edgy and non-conformist. He just seems like someone using the two people in the past who made fun of his birth defect as an excuse to be as abrasive and stand-offish as possible to everyone, even when someone hasn't given him an actual reason to. I also don't like the implication that without Sonic in their lives, they either end up like Nine Tails, you just never get anything done, or you're just too dumb to function.
Wouldn't have a problem with all of this if they weren't insisting that this is totally canon to the main game one, instead of just being it's own thing like every other Sonic adaptation in the past has been, despite there already being several things that contradict the game canon beyond just matters concerning characterization.
Didn't a similar thing happen with Rise of Lyric? I remember that most of the descriptions of the game pre-release mentioned that Boom Sonic was a loner who'd have to learn about the Super Power of Teamwork. Game comes out, and uhhh he's actually pretty chill with his friends, a few cutscenes notwithstanding.
I don't know which is worse: thinking that Sonic needs to learn how to accept his friends, or not even delivering on your premise. Both are bad writing :V except that everyone and their mother gleefully shat on Boom and everything related to it, but Prime has a Sonic that Is Just Like Me Fr Fr (And Is Also Gay For Shadow), so it's all A-okay :^)
Prime to me honestly feels like a Boom that takes itself seriously. Boom (the show, I mean) had no pretenses: like it or not, it knew that it was nothing more than a funny sitcom featuring AU versions of Sonic & co. So I don't mind that Sonic was grumpier, or that Knuckles was basically a furry Kronk, or that Eggman had a crush on Sonic was little more than a manchild with mommy issues. But if you show not only want to have a more serious storyline with dimension hopping and protagonists screwing up and having to live with the consequences, but you even want to be considered canon... well, I expect more.

Janis & Casey Pt.1
Janis: [Alright, so we’re having some kind of heated discussion with Jimothy, probably a baby related disagreement because easiest vibe, like you wanna do something and he disagrees or vice versa]
Casey: [yeah, like honestly the point or whatever started the argument is irrelevant because it’s probably so trivial and it only escalates in any way because y’all are tired and stressed by having this newborn, what realistically occurs is something like her trying to walk away because she’s getting annoyed and Jimothy trying to be like um no wait and doing the thing where you pull someone back, obvs it’s not an aggressive gesture because he is never gonna be that bitch but his brother is that bitch so he’d have to get involved and be like touch her like that again and I’ll break your arm etc etc, making this so much worse than it needs to be as per usual, boy]
Janis: [we would definitely just bat your hand away in a likewise not really aggro way just like ugh get off me, ‘cos we know he would so then we’re just turning to face Casey and putting our hand on his shoulder steadyingly ‘it’s alright, like’]
Casey: [‘it is now, yeah’ like mhmm it’ll be alright because I’ve just walked in at that precise moment and will sort this, when actually you’re just making it worse, babe, giving Jimothy death glares nbd while he’s just like steady on bro, not in those words lol imagine, but like trying to echo that it’s alright in all the ways because we’re all so used to this and what Casey is like that it’s not remotely weird or unusual]
Janis: [‘you can both chill out now’ like Jimmy is being remotely as in your face because it validates Casey whilst also being like stop now tah ‘we’ve all just got cabin fever’ like it’s still in the first two weeks but when you’re used to being out every day it do be like that so, just moving our hand down from his shoulder to his bicep lowkey trying to get his attention here]
Casey: [‘he can fuck off out of it now, more like’ like Jimothy is the one in his face and in the way when it’s actually the other way round, not at all casually just implying that JJ are done here with this discussion, goodbye jimothy, as if that’s gonna happen LOL, and your poor brother is just like you heard her, stop it kinda energy because not that confrontational bitch literally ever, he just didn’t want her to walk out and leave which is consistently his thing 5ever]
Janis: [‘Err, piss off, I’m the one that wants to get out’ like don’t be giving the easy option to him lol, gesturing towards the door by shrugging our arm ‘come on’ like not leaving y’all alone ‘I’ll get fucking [a meal they all like], yeah, be less mardy with me then?’ like they’re both having a go at her and Casey isn’t blatantly trying to start an argument with Jimothy]
Casey: [when you blatantly wanna kick your brother’s head in but you have to follow her out instead because you love her and will always do what she says]
Janis: [if we’re not and have always been using this to our advantage what have we been doing, not saying anything yet ‘cos we understand how anger works and will follow your lead of what you are actually gonna do]
Casey: [soz to baby Jac because this door to be getting slammed and it will be so loud, your other dad do be livid]
Janis: [‘car or walk?’ acting like we can’t hear the baby crying ‘cos it’s not helpful to get in a flap, Jimothy can deal with it]
Casey: [just start walking because it’ll calm you down and also take longer and obvs neither of you wanna rush back ‘you should let me kill him’ because we’ve mentioned it before and we will again]
Janis: [just doing the little fast walk to catch up and get in step with him ‘oh yeah, he gets to die, you’ll be inside and I’ll be on my own with her’ nudge him ‘tah’]
Casey: [‘he’ll be out of our fucking way and I’ll be with you and her’ unrealistic in every sense but okay]
Janis: [‘he don’t need to die for that’ looking off for a while, walking and thinking ‘I just need time, yeah? You said you wanna make sure I meant it all, that I’m not just hormonal and fucked so-’ and gesturing with our hands like, just wait a bit, okay]
Casey: [‘for being a twat then’ because we just don’t like him and wanna kill him tbh, but stopping when she says the next thing, pulling her back exactly the same way you literally just told Jimothy off for so she stops too, looking at her ‘you can have anything you want’ because we’ve always said so]
Janis: [half-smile like fair enough because don’t need to go to bat right now, likewise not gonna make a thing of the arm pull, just looking at his hand like oh really, but smirking because it amuses us tbh ‘trust me?’ do you and will you energy]
Casey: [doing the cupping her face thing like have this intense eye contact with me for a sec and know that I do before I even say anything ‘what kind of question is that?’ because of course we do and will]
Janis: [obviously giving the exact energy back always when it comes to eye contact ‘Good, ‘cos I trust you, you know that?’ like you’re doing so well because we’re all at our wits end here and not dealing with it]
Casey: [‘I only went out for this’ and giving her something from your pocket that is probably such a boring, mundane thing that’s probably baby related idk but like something he knows she wanted/needed/will make her life easier, like trust me to walk in exactly then and kick off when I was actually trying to do a nice thing. I like to think it’s potentially something she asked Jimothy for and he forgot because I am a petty bitch like that, sis and maybe she’s even since forgot she asked for it but he has not]
Janis: [just looking at it until the recognition of all these facts hits you and you just look at him with the biggest heart eyes and give him a big smooch; hopefully you’re far enough from your home and any passing neighbours would think it’s your husband lol ‘cos we clearly do not care ‘you don’t have to worry about him’ with the energy of he wasn’t going to hurt me, so you don’t have to protect me]
Casey: [‘ain’t even him, the state of his head’ a shrug like we all know he’s a pussy and what you’re saying and about to say is so casual because it’s not ‘it’s my mine that’s fucked’ because he’s been out and it’s very likely that even if nobody said or did anything he’d be paranoid and wound up about it so]
Janis: [just looking at him ‘it’s shit’ kind of a question but we know the answer so barely ‘but the only people it concerns are my family and if they were gonna do shit, they would’ve by now’ shrugging like I know that doesn’t make it easier but that’s the reality of the situation, remember ‘her new boyfriend’s older’ like clearly no one is acting here ever because true lol]
Casey: [walking again like let’s forget about it energy as if it’s that easy, but can’t help making a face when her new boyfriend is mentioned because you just can’t despite having a new gf who is your brother’s wife haha]
Janis: [start walking again even if you pause for two paces longer like okay then, shaking our head bemused at your face]
Casey: [catching the headshake ‘don’t you start’ like do not take the piss out of me, thank you]
Janis: [‘what?’ like we know what]
Casey: [‘you heard’ because gal you know what and I said do not take the piss out of me rn]
Janis: [‘sort your head, boy’ but in a softer way than the pisstake you’re perceiving/expecting]
Casey: [stopping again and pulling her into him again, as close as he physically can this time ‘you sort it for me’ are we saying that like a statement or a demand or both, who can say]
Janis: [‘thought I was’ with the intense eye contact again]
Casey: [LOOKING at her as intensely ‘was is right’ like it’s been a thousand years since you were alone or she kissed or touched you because that’s how it feels]
Janis: [just using our index finger and thumb to pull on your bottom lip kinda roughly how we clearly wanna with our teeth but aren’t gonna yet ‘so what, you’re gonna miss her to punish me?’ ‘cos we’re obviously selfishly jealous as well as it just being a terrible idea for you to be associated with her anymore]
Casey: [‘I don’t miss her’ emphasis there because we’re saying it’s you we miss]
Janis: [shake head and shaking his by still holding his lip ‘you won’t’]
Casey: [trying to bite her where she’s holding his lip like let me go but not at all]
Janis: [just putting these fingers into his mouth like oh, that’s what you want, I see]
Casey: [we all know there’s only one acceptable way to respond and it’s indecent so look away neighbours]
Janis: [just shamelessly like we’re not in the street here ‘should’ve taken the car’ because we need somewhere to be alone right now]
Casey: [pulling her into the first lil alleyway we come across like between 2 houses or whatever where peeps keep their bins or like against the side of someone’s house, whatever is available to us because read your mind there obvs]
Janis: [we know you’re immediately biting his lip and replacing your fingers in his mouth with your tongue with such urgency]
Casey: [immediately moaning into her mouth in the most extra way because no shame]
Janis: [just pushing you against this wall because we cannot deal ‘you’re so hot’]
Casey: [‘you’ because always and it’s also just true, just biting her shoulder or somewhere that’s covered because she’ll feel it but it won’t leave a mark on her skin]
Janis: [‘when he’s back at work, we don’t have to leave the house’ like then you won’t have to have your head done in but also the obvious implication like we can spend ALL our time together doing things like this]
Casey: [‘have a word, you’ve got me to babysit and every dickhead’s heard kids are expensive’ like send him back to work rn please and thanks as if he’ll be like yeah okay, god forbid he actually wants to spend time with his child]
Janis: [‘we can do it’ and using our hands to pin his, grazing them gently along the bricks ‘we want this so bad, we can last a few more days, right?’]
Casey: [when you’re trying to sigh like ugh but you can’t even pout because she’s being so hot rn so it’s just a sexy sigh and likewise the ‘fuck’s sake’ is the same energy of wanting her so much instead of being annoyed ‘alright’]
Janis: [automatically breathing in as he sighs out because we are watching you that closely and everything you’re doing and we are about it ‘and when we have to go back to work, eventually, if you’re working nights I can come see you, well as lunch time’ just casually talking about future plans because clearly not a total spur of the moment decision we all know]
Casey: [‘she’ll need looking after in the day, when you’re back’ like of course I shall work nights and care for this bub when I’m not because equally have thought about this and he always works nights anyway so it just makes sense soz, ignoring the fact that you need to sleep ever ‘I dunno about you showing up in the club though, like’ because you’re literally model hot and everyone will notice you in both the sense of wanting you and recognising who you are]
Janis: [stroking his cheek because he is so cute but gotta use your other hand to pull yourself closer to him, as you’re no longer pinning him with your hands, using your weight pressed against his hips, debating unzipping his trousers like hmm shall I, just leaving your hand there ‘you calling me old?’ with the faux offence making a comeback ‘cos he clearly ain’t and is as about you as you are him in this moment so it’s ridiculous to suggest]
Casey: [‘I’m calling you too fit’ because we are, both for the club and for us to deal with rn because clearly DYING as we say it]
Janis: [‘you’ duh, and we are unzipping you and using our masseuse skills for evil right here right now, kissing your neck as we do]
Casey: [the way he’d be saying ‘you’ back would be the hottest ever because she’s being the hottest and most evil ever rn]
Janis: [least the ‘fuck!’ under our breath in response will not be wasted because we are right in your ear, always going harder any time you give us any slight encouragement ‘aren’t you glad we left?’ like I have the best ideas thank you]
Casey: [blatantly his turn to push her against another wall with one hand and likewise unzip her with the other as he do so once her back is against it he’s inside her because always gotta go harder too ‘aren’t you?’ like this is an even better idea gal]
Janis: [the GASP we have never sounded hotter because excuse that very much, boy ‘fuck yes’]
Casey: [pulling her in for a kiss by her hair because all the hot things]
Janis: [pulling his hair back because we’re feeling truly feral as always but especially so]
Casey: [I really hope these bricks aren’t gonna fuck you up gal because he’s being the opposite of careful atm]
Janis: [you’re probably covered enough uptop this time of year but lbr, your relationship with Jimothy rn is such that we’re getting away with a certain level of damage but just not blatant hickeys lol]
Casey: [my boo says JJ aren’t touching each other or seeing each other naked, pass it on]
Janis: [clearly not, if it’s been an issue during the pregnancy era, he’s not going to think it’s odd that this soon after birth you aren’t feeling it]
Casey: [mhmm clearly neither of you are or have been feeling it for an age, hence you’re here getting absolutely railed against this wall by his brother rn lol]
Janis: [to say we’re at this point for a reason doesn’t excuse y’alls behaviour it’s just true and we are absolutely putting our everything into this]
Casey: [it’s beyond mutual thank god or that would be awkward, I wanna let it be known btw that despite how absolutely feral he is being during this hookup he has still rested his arm against the wall so she can rest her head on it and not get a concussion off these bricks with how hardcore she’s getting pushed against them so you’re welcome, hun]
Janis: [such a gentleman, we see you sneakily sir, the level we don’t care in this moment because we’re so about you to a ridiculous level and this entire situation is it for us honey, being far too loud for the fact this is still a public place]
Casey: [they are as unrepentant about it as Winnie and I love to see it, soz only to the people whose house this is because he is being as loud, please don’t like go to put your recycling out rn]
Janis: [imagine like excuse me, I need to put my cardboard out huns, we know you’re both the type to tell them to piss off and not stop so it’s fine]
Casey: [the fact you still have to walk to the shop in a sec is really sending me]
Janis: [lmao my boo says you really gonna go about your day like that, how dare you, I say it can be cute ‘cos you can be domestic in this shop and who will know]
Casey: [how dare you boo honestly, you know being domestic at the shops is my fave!]
Janis: [you know it makes sense bitch, just lowkey handholding the rest of this walk too]
Casey: [gotta enjoy it while you can because whatever meal you’re buying is gonna be so awks to eat together, we should say Bobby and Libi are there too to add to it]
Janis: [not talking during eating being impossible basically for deaf people, how rude, I was like you two need to bring the chat but your dinner would be getting cold, how sad]
Casey: [like appaz you can sign one handed in like a slang-y way so you can eat I’ve seen people do it on insta but yeah they can’t really save this and the awks]
Janis: [I’m not surprised there’s a way to and I am glad peeps; soz we are so good at diffusing the drama we had to say we’d do this, it could be a meal for two but we all know you don’t wanna imagine that boy so we’ll all sit in the awks]
Casey: [it was that or let Casey kill Jimothy, you did what you had to do, gal]
Janis: [and we did enjoy getting out the house and buying said food so you can bite your tongue and behave for the meal lol]
Casey: [at least you’ve released a serious amount of tension so he’ll be calmer, everyone would have to be going some to wind him up now and lbr it’s always him who starts it so unlikely]
Janis: [and y’all can have all the cheating cliches of sneaky looks and footsie and whatnot it’s fine]
Casey: [we love a cliche, Winnie is evil so he says that one of the times she should accidentally play footsie with Jimothy instead and then it’s like oh no cos he thinks she’s forgiven him/is saying soz for this argument and it is very much not what’s happening
Janis: [oh god, that’s so awkward, we must]
Casey: [and like Casey won’t even know you’ve done that gal but you’ll be dying inside because now Jimothy is gonna wanna be your mate again now in the kitchen when he helps you clean up after this food, oh such fun]
Janis: [imma message you after we’ve been in there for a minute then]
Janis: do you have any cigarettes
Casey: Nah, but hang on and I’ll get some
Janis: tah, emergency supply run out a while ago
Casey: same, mine was Ian’s anyway, and I’d reckon [a place between cornwall and manchester where they ran out idk]
Janis: fair, all things considered
Janis: I only had a few whilst I was pregnant, so she can’t blame me if she stays small forever
Janis: but they were all I had about anyway
Casey: I never stayed small, she’ll be alright
Janis: she’s got a genetically decent chance of not being a midget, yeah
Casey: long as she takes after you, he did a bit
Janis: okay, there’s not THAT much between yous
Casey: there’s fuck all between you and him, can’t pretend you don’t notice the difference between us, girl
Janis: he’s RIGHT here
Janis: not gonna discuss matters of inches to stroke your bighead right now, boy
Casey: 😏
Casey: You after owt else while I’m out and about, [list the ingredients for the drink she said she wanted in the hospital like I could get you them to make you one if you want]
Janis: go on then
Janis: can have the one, ask them if they want anything, probably not [whatever the main alcohol is in this drink], like
Casey: not their fucking bar or postman, like
Janis: they’ll have to watch the baby 
Janis: go on
Casey: taking the piss, you
Janis: don’t then, whatever
Casey: I’ve not said I won’t
Janis: it’s just a lot, doing it all again like before
Casey: I’ll be a few minutes, come through to the garden then
Janis: thanks
Casey: don’t fancy hanging round them sober myself, it’s nowt
Janis: it ain’t them, really
Janis: though she’s a bit too keen on the baby for my liking, obviously
Casey: least if they’ve got their hands full with her they can’t be chatting shit about me
Janis: they’d be unlikely to do it in front of your face anyway, go to his room to be polite
Casey: go to his room to have their own kid
Janis: 😑🤮
Janis: least I’d be within my rights to go break that up
Casey: I’ll send her off whenever you like, can just say she’s looking especially fit, she’ll leg it soon as
Janis: helpful a skill as that is
Casey: would take skill to be convincing, yeah
Janis: don’t be horrible
Casey: it’d be if I fancied her, known her since she were 4
Janis: could say the same for us, there
Casey: how
Casey: remember you being pretty grown up when I met you
Janis: exactly
Janis: anyway, terms of a type, you’ve done that once and I’ve had two of you so Bobby is in more danger
Casey: leave it out
Janis: yeah
Casey: yeah
Janis: don’t be pissed off, just 
Casey: I’m not at you
Janis: it’s just talk
Casey: I know
Janis: it’s shit, but they’ll see how good you are with the baby, have good to compare it to, it’ll be alright
Casey: I don’t care what they reckon, he’s got the brother he looks up to 
Janis: just be easier, nah
Casey: I’d check her socials if I was bothered about the state of her, don’t need the signed updates, that’s it
Janis: she weren’t just gonna disappear 
Casey: tah for that, mate, I wouldn’t have known else
Janis: 👌
Casey: and if I wanted to have a word with Jim I would do, you can leave it out talking like him an’ all
Janis: i’m having to rn so you’ll have to bear with
Casey: I’ll just see you in a bit, how about that
Janis: alright then
Casey: bollocks, stop saying shit is when you’re obviously not
Janis: I’m not but I dunno what anyone can do about that when it’s my own fault so I’ll have to sort it
Casey: it’s as much my fault, let me sort it
Janis: you didn’t accidentally play footsie with him
Janis: unless it was you, fuck knows at this point
Casey: You did what
Janis: I know
Casey: nice one, babe
Casey: he’ll be chuffed to bits you’ve made up after your little row
Janis: you heard it was an accident
Janis: and you started it, if I recall
Casey: he started it, grabbing you how he did, that was nowt to do with me
Janis: I meant the footsie, didn’t you
Casey: I can aim, reckoned you could an’ all
Janis: don’t, fuck’s sake
Casey: I get it, you don’t wanna be his mate, and if you don’t wanna ruin his chuffed mood too it’ll be piss easy for me, only have to take my side and he’ll be back to mardy with you
Janis: I’m just going to say I have a headache, fuck it
Casey: forget him, be with me
Casey: I’ll be there in a sec
Janis: I wanted to, I was trying to, that was literally so stupid
Janis: could’ve actually been Bobby, Jesus
Casey: but it weren’t, it’s alright, calm down
Janis: it’s really awkward though, I’m just gonna die
Casey: I’ve been taking the piss, I’ll leave it out
Janis: I would’ve if it was you too
Casey: it’d not be me but yeah ‘course you would’ve
Janis: oh alright, not at this table, maybe
Casey: or at no table
Janis: your aim is perfect, is it
Janis: no need to rub it in
Casey: come on, you know it is, and reminding you’ll only cheer you up
 Janis: you’re very generous, I remember 
Casey: you’re not pissing off upstairs to bed without me
Janis: I can go outside for my headache first
Janis: just hope he doesn’t follow
Casey: I’ll bring the kid and if he does give her a pinch or something, he’ll have her off me and do one
Janis: sounds like a plan
Janis: don’t forget the cigarettes I need them
Casey: I told you, let me sort it
Casey: [a pic because he has not forgotten]
Janis: 😍
Janis: I missed you
Casey: I miss you too
Janis: can’t even joke I was talking ‘bout the 🚬s now
Casey: good, love me instead, tah
Janis: you know I do
Casey: you’ve not said for ages though
Casey: I think you should
Janis: it only feels like ages
Janis: that dinner was torture, before the whole foot thing
Casey: up there with a night at our dad’s
Casey: be just your luck right now if he turned up bothered about the baby
Janis: can keep his feet out from under my table, thank you
Janis: but yeah, that’d top off the night
Casey: you sure, I’ll give him another ring if you’re after the full set
Janis: 🤔 fuck it, get my drink and get him ‘round
Casey: it’d be Jim pissing off with a headache
Janis: shh
Casey: Come out before I have to come in for you
Casey: don’t forget her if he looks like he’ll be out an’ all
Janis: was going to tell you I loved you 
Janis: ‘case I couldn’t out loud
Janis: but as you blatantly just wanna see your bestie
Casey: you can tell me when you give her over to me, that’s why she is
Janis: you love her too, it’s cute 
Janis: but I am allowed to be jealous she gets to spend time with you, aren’t I
Casey: it’s cute you getting jealous
Janis: cute again
Casey: what’ve you got against cute
Janis: it’s different
Casey: you said it 1st
Janis: you are cute
Janis: maybe I only get it back as a pisstake, dunno
Casey: I reckon you are
Janis: don’t make me blush, he’ll think I’ve been headswapped 
Casey: he’d have to be really looking, it ain’t that easy to see
Casey: not like the lasses I’m used to
Janis: 🤨 huh
Casey: what you get for having a tan that don’t come bottled
Janis: Ian? 👋💋
Casey: shut up, it’s true
Janis: is that a bad thing
Casey: good for us sneaking about, seeing as you dunno where to put your feet
Janis: turn ‘em around if you’d prefer, back to the kitchen instead of on my way
Casey: I get it, you don’t miss me no more, alright then I’ll keep everything I brought back 
Janis: wow, break my heart with how little you tried
Casey: I would’ve done if you were orange, like
Janis: get back out to the shop and you can have your pick
Casey: bring her and her mates back for [whatever the drink is] whoever she is
Janis: probably won’t like it, no taste
Casey: more for you
Janis: be nice, I feel awful enough
Casey: so come here, I’ll make you feel better
Janis: [do come out, having stolen this baby back from Libi like there you are, swapping for this shopping bag]
Casey: [taking the baby obvs but also taking the bae and moving her out of definite view of the kitchen window so that he can just hold her too for a sec]
Janis: [when you are just frazzled like what have I done and what do I do, so we’re happily allowing this because we really need to not be near you rn Jimothy]
Casey: [not letting you go rn gal soz because he knows you’re in a state about this all pisstakes aside]
Janis: [we are just using you like a human shield in the most childlike way like can’t see me ‘should I sleep on the sofa?’ like would that be weird, tell me]
Casey: [‘he’ll have to when I sort it’ like don’t worry I’ll beat him up and make sure he can’t do the stairs, said while he’s being so soft and comforting to you LOL, nbd just discussing casual violence]
Janis: [‘it was my fucking fault’ shaking our head at ourselves ‘cos rookie error much, so fuming]
Casey: [‘it was an accident’ like no shhh it was not your fault it could’ve happened to anyone, you didn’t mean to]
Janis: [‘we were having such a nice time’ re the alley and shop moment like we came back too soon energy]
Casey: [‘so let’s keep it going’ because the energy being we still can now but also nodding to this booze like if you get drunk or he thinks you are that’ll also solve you having to deal with him when you’ve had enough of it]
Janis: [‘way to start another argument without having to be a total bitch’ ‘cos it is but also ‘need it anyway’ and getting out a cigarette like case in point and offering one his way]
Casey: [shaking his head because he only does these days when he’s stressed af or drunk af neither of which he is rn, taking this bub away so she can though and teaching her how to make this drink because he already verbally did at the hospital and it’s a vibe]
Janis: [just smoking as many as we need, watching this adorableness which would help take your mind off the debacle well ‘who do I tip?’]
Casey: [bringing her drink over when it’s done ‘depends’ like if it’s money baby Jac needs it to clear her tab but if it’s in a saucy way then obvs he’s here for it]
Janis: [just maintaining eye contact as we sip because we wanna like there’s your answer or is it just nodding like okay]
Casey: [when you gotta keep the eye contact but also watch her swallow this drink in a really intense way because you just love watching gals do things and it’s hot soz about it]
Janis: [we clearly are also into it, as has already been shown, still looking at him ‘how are you making me already regret it less?’ like you’re too hot and I’d do it again, this is the problem, there is no chill]
Casey: [‘said I’d make you feel better’ like I’ve simply got to now soz not soz about it because we really aren’t, there’s no chill on this side either]
Janis: [‘can’t let me down’ but said like it’s a fact like you’re incapable, clearly, just chilling in this garden like we weren’t having a total freakout ‘nice night for September’ ‘cos it would have to be for now and your shenanigans and September can be so allowing it, just basking in the warm air casually]
Casey: [‘come see you when you’re passed out on the sofa’ like I won’t, whether you’re faking it or actually wrecked lol, sitting on the grass instead of a chair so baby Jac can feel it like standing her up on it and letting her touch it and everything cos you should be able to bask too little queen even though you are but days old]
Janis: [smiling ‘you better’ like you have no excuse and who are you if you don’t, just taking some pictures, waving to baby Jac like she has a clue here]
Casey: [‘nowt’d stop me’ because he will, regardless, however much sneaking it takes ‘Oi, make sure you send me them’ meaning the pics cos I have to, remember when he didn’t even wanna see a pic of her]
Janis: [‘one of the things I love about you’ saying the love quieter on the off chance, you could’ve said like, we don’t think anyone is listening but still, send them instantly ‘cos you can ‘she looks cute, you look-’ like that’s probably something I shouldn’t say out loud, sly little grin]
Casey: [‘be after the list in a bit’ like now I’ll definitely come and see you to see what else you love about me, showing these pics to baby Jac as if she can remotely register lol ‘she looks like you’ cos we think so and also it’s the greatest compliment he can get away with saying because we’ve made no secret ever of how beautiful we think you are hun]
Janis: [‘might have to sign it to you’ which btw you can both very much do when you want to talk silently in situations where that is useful just saying, but the energy is like if I start saying any out loud that will get dangerous real fast, just pretending to be Jac being a stroppy model giving critique like my nappy makes me look fat etc but we have to stop pissing about because it is such a compliment and she do be your twin so we’re just proud like ‘thanks’]
Casey: [signing ‘go on then’ or something to that effect because we very much take your meaning and enjoy the element of risk in that she could still get carried away doing that and Bobby, Libi or Jimothy could appear haha, loling at the baby modeling pisstake and joining in by acting like we’re signing her up for baby beauty pageants and stuff rn on our phone but then the compliment hits fully and we realise it ‘made you blush’ like see I can tell when you are even if you aren’t a white blonde]
Janis: [it’s honestly riskier if you ever did get caught ‘cos why are you just signing at each other but that is why we suggested it because it’s hot, signing ‘eyes’ and ‘the way you look at me, because it hasn’t changed’ like I can tell you’ve literally always wanted me and getting me has not changed this at all; quickly adding ‘when you make me blush’ because true]
Casey: [LOOKING at her for the longest time when she signs that because have to even though that’s dangerous in itself and then reaching out to stroke her cheek and feel the warmth of the blush because no fucks given but if anyone did see you there could literally be a bug or an eyelash, mind your business]
Janis: [tilting our head as if we are going to kiss his fingers again because must remember when but we don’t actually do it, instead signing ‘the way your fingers feel’]
Casey: [this boy do be going red rn himself remembering cos how could he not be, taking a giant swig of the drink he made for himself because dying but making eye contact as he do because never dying so hard that we won’t]
Janis: [just staring at you with all the 🥺 energy humanly possible ‘how soft I make you’ with emphasis in how hard and passionately we’re signing rn]
Casey: [‘how hard you make me’ spoken out loud like a correction but quietly enough that only y’all are hearing it]
Janis: [leaning slightly down in our chair, tickling baby Jac with our toes, but then using the side of our foot to press down on your lap like yes ‘how wet you make me’ again out loud but quiet af ‘cos we’re close enough no one inside is hearing this]
Casey: [obvs putting the baby on her lap and all the fuss involved in that so he can take a moment to feel that for himself, it’s the plane using my jacket as a blanket and tucking you in move but on steroids, literally using a baby to touch you up rn soz bub]
Janis: [holding his wrist so he can’t take his hand away until you decide he can ‘how shameless you are’ moving like we are readjusting for comfort here but the tiny noise we let escape says otherwise]
Casey: [absolutely being even more shameless after she’s said that, nothing to see here anyone at the kitchen window, he’s paying attention to the bub and the bub only from your POV]
Janis: [‘fuck me!’ quiet but blurted out ‘how… how you fuck me’ like we’re correcting ourselves but we know what we did, finally letting go of your wrist like we’re being so innocent here]
Casey: [nevertheless taking it as an instruction like you and god intended though]
Janis: [acting like we’re rocking this baby right now because we have no choice ‘how you look after me and my baby’ with an indecent amount of feeling in this current moment ‘how you’re gonna look after our babies’]
Casey: [when that gets you SO deeply both in the sense of turning you on and in your emotions ‘I love who I am to you, with you’ just blurting this out, weren’t even planning on doing a list]
Janis: [‘you’re my Casey, I want you, I don’t wanna fuck him’ because our accident really exposed that we do not right now ‘don’t let me, I love you’]
Casey: [‘you’re mine, not his’ because we 10000% will not let you rn or lowkey ever again if we had our way gal, doing the thing where he pours some of the drink he made for her into her mouth with the hand we’re not using to fuck you as hard as we can get away with because it has a we’re sticking to the plan vibe but also is just hot, but again if you remotely gave a shit about anyone looking at you rn it’s just helpful like soz she has no hands free we’re doing childcare here]
Janis: [‘I’m yours’ because we agree so wholeheartedly ‘I’ve been yours’ not being specific about since when and we don’t need to because the dramatic way you’re gonna have to swallow ‘cos you’re already losing your breath and that really tipped you over the edge here ‘the way you make me feel good, all the time’ not letting ourselves recover so we sound ridiculously hot, of course]
Casey: [it’s okay he would not be able to breathe after the way she said that either, you’re both in a very similar boat at least ‘I really fucking love how you look when you cum’ because soz it’s on his list so you gotta do it rn we don’t make the rules]
Janis: [we very much get the memo and the way we go from having our eyes closed ‘cos cannot stand it to making heavy-lidded eye contact with you says it all ‘the things you fucking make me do!’ but saying it as we cum, like it is so definitely on the list sir]
Casey: [biting his lip so hard while she does because the sound he wants to make as a reaction would be too loud and indecent]
Janis: [the way we’re instantly getting a boob out for this baby ‘cos we can feel it and we can feed you ‘holy fucking shit’ and doing a laugh that could just sound like you’re buzzing with yourself here]
Casey: [I’m not happy you’re feeding this child after drinking and smoking but he is not me so he would just be buzzing for you honestly, please try not to blatantly stare at this all happening too intensely though, thank you so much, sir]
Janis: [you’ll be fine, it’s ended up being a drink and maybe 2 cigarettes or something lol, not ideal but you’ll survive hun; we’re obviously not stopping you, don’t mind us, just freeing the nip here ‘you take SUCH good care of her’ emphasis like can’t do this without you, it’s really just because you need to relax but nothing else in your life rn is giving you that clearly so see why you think that]
Casey: [you’ve already gotten away with way more scandalous stuff in this garden than watching your niece be breastfed so I’m not too worried for you at this point ‘I love her, I have to’ with so much feeling, we also mean you but we can’t say that out loud at the normal volume we can express our love for this bub we’re related to so]
Janis: [‘she’s lucky’ and just cooing at her like aren’t you lucky, aren’t you so loved etc ‘she loves you too’ ‘cos same reason, we’re allowed to say this baby loves you no big nope]
Casey: [doing his own cooing over this child like do you love me because genuinely do want her to and genuinely do wanna be her father rn, no lie or exaggeration here]
Janis: [this baby getting her nom on so we can’t mess with you or pretend to be speaking for you right now, realism honey ‘she loves milk most’ like look at this baby fat fat]
Casey: [‘it is good’ in such a tone like yeah I get it I liked it too]
Janis: [grinning because forever love that for us ‘see if she leaves you any’]
Casey: [‘can’t blame her if she don’t’ grinning back, really do have to unnecessarily emphasise how here for it we were and are ‘just have to make more if there ain’t none’ we know what that means and what he’s promising for later]
Janis: [‘well I owe you’ said so casually but biting our lip in a more chill way than he did because we’ve got to calm down a bit, like I know how unfair it is you didn’t get to cum just then, excuse me; ‘for the drink and then some’ we mean you can have milk and get to cum, clearly, but sure, start trying to be subtle now lol love y’all]
Casey: [just looking at her foot like that has some massive redeeming to do re aim why not finish what you started not long ago because no chill ever detected, like seriously how do you think you’re just getting away with that but okay]
Janis: [‘making a mess’ under our breath and wiping up like this baby has spit some milk out here but we’re saying okay but you will all over whatever you are wearing then doing a soothing ‘never mind’ like yeah, I don’t care and neither do you so, moving our foot towards you like we’re just stretching here, it’s cool, we’re not very purposefully manipulating a certain area on this boy no no, we’re focused on feeding our child thanks]
Casey: [the GASP despite the fact you challenged her to do it and she has never backed down from one yet, signing something to that effect cos you love that about her and your hand movements could in theory distract from her blatant foot ones, if anyone’s looking]
Janis: [just going in because we’re this bitch and flexible enough to make it happen ‘you’re fun’ again a casual thing to say but we like challenges and all of this is the vibe]
Casey: [thank god he clearly does too because it’s gonna be the ultimate challenge not to do the absolute most in reaction to everything she is ‘you’re-’ can’t and won’t finish that sentence because you know I love speechless you, boy]
Janis: [as do we ‘-cute’ like we’re finishing your sentence for you as if in any world he’d be going for that with how you’re behaving currently lol; but also because its what we like about you and the way we’re looking at you and smiling lets you know this so much]
Casey: [‘it’ll do’ like yes thank you that works, because he do think you’re cute especially that smile and also loves that you think he is and the way you’re looking at him rn etc]
Janis: [‘will it?’ in an unexpectedly serious and quiet voice like you can absolutely tell we did not mean to say that but we did so it’s like well, even if we’re going harder like we can just distract you from a vaguely emotional outburst]
Casey: [looking at her with ALL the feeling because yes, it obviously will, there’s your answer regardless of you not meaning to ask the question ‘you will’ I dread to think how his voice sounds saying that but we can’t be distracted from letting you know we love you, soz]
Janis: [‘I wish-’ and like, so many things we could say, I wish this wasn’t such a messy situation, I wish I could fix this, I wish I could make everyone happy, ahh but we go with ‘-I could kiss you right now’ because also that, yes]
Casey: [‘in a bit’ because that is a promise he’s making for later even though you can’t actually promise because a thousand things could get in the way of you doing that]
Janis: [‘promise’ like yeah, I will do all of that, no pressure to ourselves at all]
Casey: [‘I’ll not promise to cut you off’ like I probably should limit you to 1 drink then under the circumstances but I won’t]
Janis: [focus back on this baby for a moment ‘wait ‘til she’s had hers’ because not tryna get you crunk baby girl lol but we definitely require more alcohol ‘good barman bad barman a thing, yeah?’ like you’re so clearly never the one cutting anyone off]
Casey: [‘Oi, who you calling a bad barman?’ as if she’s calling you shit at your job lol]
Janis: [‘technically you’re the good one, cutting me off would be bad’ going by good cop bad cop logic like that’d be so mean of you so]
Casey: [‘technically I’ve got loads else I’d do to make you feel good if we had to stop at the one drink’]                                                                                                                                                                              
Casey: [‘only review I’m after’ because literally only care about what you think in every way possible always]
Janis: [just putting all our energy into showing you what we think of you right now, don’t mind us]
Casey: [putting all his energy back into not being the loudest and most extra, obvs, because you know he would’ve nearly said her name in the most indecent way ever]    
Janis: [doing the thing where she does everything in her power to make you cum, within current limitations, whilst being like ‘if you cum we have to go inside, don’t do it, try to hold on, please’ etc just ‘cos we’re evil] 
Casey: [this is why y’all are fated, not soz, because you can’t tell me he isn’t also 100% that bitch]
Janis: [he is and we know it]
Casey: [definitely holding out way longer than I could in his place but you’re not superhuman, boy, deal with it]
Janis: [at least how smug we are is all ‘cos of how much we’re into making you lose it and you can enjoy that ‘could be my favourite thing about you, might be biased right now though’ and just LOOKING at him like damn, boy]
Casey: [‘typical of you and that massive ego’ like okay bighead your fave thing would be something you have total control over, but we’re LOOKING back because the big ego is very legit of her to have rn after all that]
Janis: [shrug ‘it ain’t a short list’ like there’s plenty about you I love that are all you, don’t worry ‘can’t blame me for liking you most when you’re with me’ like being together is the best bit, obviously]
Casey: [‘get ready to hate me then’ 😏 because getting up to go inside and clean up a little bit in case anyone does appear though it’s clearly unlikely at this point, something else he’s saying that shouldn’t sound as hot as it did, typical of you, sir]
Janis: [‘do my best’ but our tone and own OTT pout at the suggestion letting you know we will be doing the opposite out here, chilling with this girl who’s probably finished her milk and fallen asleep, using her little chubby hand to wave bye at him]
Casey: [blatantly pulling her pouty bottom lip how she did to him that time as he goes because you cannot kiss her, some lines have to be drawn however ridiculously small and faint they obvs are, waving at this bub of course]
Janis: you might be onto something 
Janis: already like you SO much less, like
Casey: You might have to try a bit harder if you’re gonna convince me of owt like that
Janis: stay away from me longer than you have to, see how convincing I can be
Casey: how long do you reckon it is
Janis: you just wanna hear me say a ridiculously short amount of time, don’t you
Casey: wouldn’t have no trouble believing it, like
Janis: can’t even call it cocky, really
Casey: bit maybe, but we’re even on that one
Janis: you like it
Casey: us having loads in common, yeah, ‘course I do
Janis: always have
Casey: Any lass I’ve had about long enough to know has always hated it
Casey: [his uni going ex] said she’d never get through on the phone ‘cause I’d be too busy on it with you
Janis: I didn’t like her all that much anyway
Janis: I’ll keep the soz to myself still, I reckon
Casey: you’ll not be offering the threesome with her Archie did then
Janis: I don’t need to offer up every single thing I reckon you’ve seen in porn and thus wanna do because you’re a lad
Casey: nah, I’ve done it before anyway, not much left to offer up I’ve not
Janis: and I’m not 14 so, weren’t planning on it
Casey: I shouldn’t have let her when she offered up the swings, got that one over me now
Janis: you told her about your first time then, yeah
Casey: she probably asked me
Janis: an easy one, most people want to redo their first time because it’s usually shit so
Casey: no need to rub it in, dickhead, just ‘cause yours weren’t
Janis: I didn’t bring it up
Casey: no shit, you wouldn’t, bit awkward under the circumstances
Janis: yeah, exactly
Casey: forget I did, I never meant to
Janis: you’re obviously stuck on it
Janis: it’s fine
Casey: might be fine with you, ain’t with me
Janis: why
Casey: why would it be
Janis: I don’t know what to tell you, clearly whatever happened with Archie messed you both up a bit more than you already were
Casey: tah, charming that is
Janis: you know what I mean, you can’t take it back now
Casey: I know, I don’t need telling
Janis: then what, I don’t get it
Casey: you don’t get what
Janis: why you’re still thinking about her
Casey: you’re fucking married
Janis: I didn’t say you couldn’t
Casey: I can’t just act like it didn’t happen
Janis: okay
Casey: don’t, alright
Janis: I’m not, I just have nothing productive to say
Janis: obviously you should just act like that, but I understand why you can’t, is what it is
Casey: I’m not trying to mess your head up how mine is so let’s leave it out
Janis: oh yeah, my head is clear
Casey: your shit don’t need adding to is what I mean
Janis: I’ll survive
Casey: me an’ all without going on at you about none of this
Janis: what’s the point of starting out like that
Casey: what’s the point bitching like a massive girl about what’s done
Janis: that’s not what I meant, just
Janis: there isn’t anything I can do, I’ve already told you what she’s like, how she’s acting, there’s nothing else I’ve got
Casey: and I didn’t mean I want her back
Janis: I know, I mean, I think I do
Janis: it won’t happen anyway
Casey: you should do, you know what I want to happen and it’s nowt to do with her
Janis: You shouldn’t have said you didn’t want it, before
Casey: shouldn’t I
Janis: you obviously need someone to fuck you better on the swings and who else could, so yeah
Casey: I’m that obvious, yeah
Janis: if that’s all she has over you, it’s the obvious solution
Casey: but the park has it’s own shit over you, you said
Janis: so do lots of places
Janis: I can’t just erase him
Casey: then how’s it fair for me to ask you to do it when it comes to her
Janis: it was however many weeks, it’s not the same
Janis: I don’t wanna get rid of it all, it won’t happen, whatever we do
Casey: it ain’t about the time scale
Janis: I’ve not totally forgotten I’ve got a husband
Janis: even if he’s forgotten me
Casey: I went all in on her, much as I could, more than I ever have done
Casey: even if that was only ‘cause I couldn’t have you, it still happened
Janis: what do you want to do?
Janis: I don’t think she’ll talk to you, at this point
Casey: I don’t wanna do anything
Janis: it will get easier
Casey: What we should be talking about if we’re gonna have a little chat is that he ain’t forgotten you
Janis: just how it felt
Casey: you can’t be getting off your face every night, real or fake, and sleeping on the sofa
Janis: I know that
Janis: and you know how fucking massive the conversation I need to start is, if I had a clue how to do that yet
Casey: I ain’t saying you’ve gotta do it now, I’ve never said you’ve gotta do anything
Janis: it’s not you
Janis: the longer I leave it the more I’m fucking him over and that’s not what I want to do but
Casey: get him in work again and you’ll have some room, it won’t feel like you’re in constant danger of turning him on at the dinner table
Janis: I doubt I even did
Casey: break my fucking heart with how gutted you sound about it, mate
Janis: well, you would be too
Janis: I did give us my all
Casey: It’s him who ain’t been good enough or done right, never has and ain’t got no clue how, you can only do what you can do
Janis: not never
Janis: but I’ve one-upped him now 
Casey: bollocks
Janis: you don’t reckon fucking his brother trumps
Janis: idk what my problem is, him not wanting to fuck me for 9 months, like
Janis: don’t make me sound amazing, by anyone’s standards
Casey: piss off turning us into that or him into a dickhead who didn’t have this coming ‘cause of his problems
Janis: we’re not but I know how it looks, will look
Casey: you know how everyone’s looking at me right now and how that ain’t the way it actually is
Janis: we were meant to be perfect
Casey: he fucked it, not you
Janis: nah, we both did
Casey: I’d never shut you out, can’t
Janis: I can’t do this alone
Casey: [come back like you’re not, squeezing her shoulder on your way past her to sit back down]
Janis: [not at all losing our shit again, at least we will have put this baby in her pram all wrapped up so we don’t have to actively think of her in this precise moment ‘hey’]
Casey: [‘alright’ like hello but also more importantly like a question because are you?]
Janis: [taking out a cigarette in response, shrugging like what can you do ‘better?’ ‘cos went inside to get cleaned up]
Casey: [I like to think he’s changed into like comfy loungewear vibes because why wouldn’t you, so coming over and giving her the cosy af hoodie he’s wearing to put on for absolutely no reason except we wanna comfort you rn and that’s the only way we can]
Janis: [just wrapping it around ourselves gratefully because we are and this really isn’t your drama so we appreciate that fully, lowkey just nuzzling into the collar here]
Casey: [making her another drink but literally not taking his eyes off her the entire time we do, lowkey a party trick that you’re mixing this drink without looking down for a single second]
Janis: [‘s’impressive’ and doing a little smile, trying to not be overly worrying here or anything]
Casey: [breaking the eye contact purely to look down at himself like oh you mean me in this tight t-shirt now that the hoodie is out of the way, because bants 5ever, passing her this beverage]
Janis: [rolling our eyes lovingly ‘see it all day every day, boy’ ‘cos we are a sports massage therapist honey, sipping this drink like hohaha]
Casey: [doing an OTT pout like we’re so heartbroken and offended]
Janis: [‘the drink is VERY good’ like I’m not calling you shit at your job, be happy]
Casey: [coming back over and stealing it to take a sip like I’ll be the judge of that thank you, because gotta be hot about everything always, and shrugging at her as you hand it back ‘had better’ we all know where he’s looking and what he’s saying with that, huns]
Janis: [forever LOOKING at you as you move because very easy to be distracted by each other, even when we’re in this much turmoil otherwise; gonna notice how hard she breathes in when you do, then signing in front of our tits so 1. We’re not saying this out loud and 2. It’s like ‘scuse me pay attention boy ‘you’re gonna have to keep me pregnant or you’ll be so sad’ like what would you do if my milk ever dried up]
Casey: [‘just me?’ like would you not be so sad too, because we clearly disagree if you’re trying to suggest otherwise lol]
Janis: [shakes our head because no ‘would probably cry’ because we remember when you brought that up]
Casey: [‘can’t have that’ but in a tone that is saying the opposite because we know damn well you’d look beautiful and he’d be into it]
Janis: [‘unlikely you will’ like I don’t just cry for nothing, as you know, but we’re matching tone ‘cos how could we not]
Casey: [‘challenge accepted’ as we pull your hair really playfully because 100% still that close to you despite handing the drink back and having no reason to be, like we’re gonna do it by being mean but we all know as equally damn well what you’re implying]
Janis: [‘Oi!’ like he’s just being his antagonistic self and we’re like oh you but we’re pushing you back so reminiscent of how he did in the hospital bed like get away from me but don’t ever]
Casey: [taking her drink again but this time holding it out of her reach and over her head in a pisstakey playfighty yet so saucy manner like oh I’m so strong and toll we all can’t forget that’s a huge novelty for you because still pretending to be so mean]
Janis: [because we can always be meaner, we’re just opening our mouth like give it to me then, we all know what you’re going to be thinking about now]
Casey: [fully just acting like we’re about to but then at the last sec taking a drink himself so she thinks it’s gonna be like bitch you thought haha but not swallowing it because gotta go further and like spit this into your mouth as if that’s something you’re remotely okay to be doing in this garden rn]
Janis: [the SOUND we make is gonna be unholy to the point we’re fully like yep, someone is gonna come out now but clearly not so we’re just like how could you in the sense we now want you so bad we don’t know what to do]
Casey: [looking in the direction of the kitchen window, better late than never, for a split second because that’s how long ONLY he’s willing to tear his eyes away from this gal, seeing it’s in darkness because none of the fam are in there clearly, whatever the hell they are doing, and therefore deciding it’s FINE to kiss her SO hard]
Janis: [we know we have no desire or willpower to stop this, especially now, we’re kissing you like there is no chance of being caught at all here]
Casey: [likewise, you know he’s got his hand on her zip just messing with it like can we actually get away with this or not because y’all must feel untouchable rn with what you have already gotten away with honestly]
Janis: [just looking over at the pram like what if someone comes out for her if not us, making a frustrated noise ‘I wanna’ obviously so]
Casey: [‘then’ again like it’s a full sentence the way it was at the hospital like let’s just do it then as if it’s that simple, oh boy, you kill me]
Janis: [‘where are they?’ like genuinely like what are they doing and what do they think we’re doing lol because if they’d checked but a once we wouldn’t be able to be so bold and seriously contemplating]
Casey: [I’m gonna speculate wildly that Bobby and Libi are probably watching a movie if they haven’t left entirely because of the dinner awks and Jimothy has fallen asleep like the dad he is, probably on the bed you’re avoiding so hard gal, but Casey doesn’t know or care about any of that, so shrugging as he pulls her towards a shed I’m gonna say exists in this garden and starts chucking enough of the crap that it’s full of out so they can at least semi fit standing in the doorway of there and also have the flimsy excuse nobody’s asking for that they’re looking for something among said crap, obvs pushing her in as soon as there’s vaguely enough space]
Janis: [we are with your idea, even though I’d love to know what you’d say you need from the shed right this second but lbr it isn’t going to be an issue; pulling you in behind us with the same energy, pulling this door to without shutting it]
Casey: [the way Bobby and Libi are legit staying out of your way because of the awks and because they probably think y’all are having a deep and meaningful about his underage girl dating, wifebeating ways cos she’s the one he talks to, is honestly sending me, soz you two, meanwhile actually going at it in the shed]
Janis: [lmao truly, we’ll get there kids but first we’re just dealing with a lifetime of tension if you don’t mind]
Casey: [stuff is blatantly falling all over you pair in this shed and you could not be less bothered, love it, casual shovel trying to kill you or whatever]
Janis: [we all know the excuse to throw things around and get out some tension that way will be appreciated by both of you, lucky we don’t knock this damn thing over lol]
Casey: [as will the fact he can get a cobweb out of her hair when you eventually emerge, by him and me both, absolutely stan a cliche]
Janis: [‘I’m not scared of spiders’ like that’s not going to make me cry, soz, just brushing some general shed debris off your shoulder for you boy]
Casey: [‘I reckon we broke [such and such a thing in this shed]’ like that would make you cry lol but we’re so 😏 because it’s just a brag really]
Janis: [‘one less thing to decide who gets to keep’ trying to say that like its bants when it absolutely is not haha anyway moving on, fake punching at his smug face as we go to check that baby Jac is still just chilling here]
Casey: [‘she okay?’ called lowkey across this garden, the word okay not alright because hey remember that she and I are the only things that matter, thank you]
Janis: [putting a finger to our lips like excuse me ‘big gob’ but nodding because she is ‘nothing phases her’]
Casey: [just putting all the stuff back in the shed oh so casually rn don’t mind us ‘takes after me’ like I’m her real father bants but you could just be saying it as you are actually related]
Janis: [doing our own 😏 ‘God help us’]
Casey: [‘both got me to help you, tah very much’ cos who else could you possibly ever need not god or your husband lol]
Janis: [‘alright then, come here’ and we’re just looking at these drink ingredients rn like show me how to make it]
Casey: [do obviously]
Janis: [have the cliche of teaching someone how to do something always]
Casey: [it’s simply one of the best]
Janis: [‘remember when I lived above the pub?’ like good times]
Casey: [can’t stop himself making a face because you can’t tell me he thought they were good times, you moving out]
Janis: [nudging him like hey ‘least we weren’t as in your face then’]
Casey: [nudging her back like no no it was not a positive and you can’t make it into one]
Janis: [shaking our head like okay then ‘I got free drinks all the time, anyway, that part you would’ve liked’]
Casey: [a look like you could get free drinks anywhere at any time from anyone because you’re literally that stunning]
Janis: [a look back like but no ‘my grandda weren’t expecting nothing but my rent vaguely on time, like’]
Casey: [ a nod like okay fair enough ‘he thinks I’m a right dickhead’ because he would, soz but it’s true]
Janis: [‘yeah’ ‘cos not gonna sugarcoat anything no point ‘general consensus at the minute’]
Casey: [a look at her and in the bub’s direction like true but idc cos you two love me]
Janis: [‘you can do better, we see that’]
Casey: [‘do you?’]
Janis: [‘especially her’ like she’s your bestie but also ‘cos you’re so soft with her]
Casey: [coming over to this bub and giving her all the eye contact like hmm is that true, proving it is by being so soft rn]
Janis: [‘might be a bit less thrilled than I would be’ like if she wakes up and you’re just staring at her lol]
Casey: [‘can’t be as chuffed as you’d be’ like be fair nobody is or would be]
Janis: [‘just call me desperate’ but doing a shrug like true though]
Casey: [‘if you still are after all that, it’s myself I’ve gotta be having a word with’ and a look back at this shed like I don’t think so]
Janis: [pondering like hmm let me think about that some more than I already was ‘suppose I can wait ‘til the sofa, yeah’]
Casey: [clink your glasses together like okay deal but then make yourself comfy wherever you’re sitting ‘but you know where I am if you change your mind’ because right here if you can’t lol]
Janis: [just tutting and using his shoulder like a pillow, could be platonic enough ‘you’d be knackered’]
Casey: [‘no change there, like’ lowkey always are because have spent forever working nights and living how you do]
Janis: [‘yeah, I’ll put you on bed rest instead’]
Casey: [‘better nurse than you are patient’ because I firmly believe with my whole heart there have been occasions where she has had to patch him up after he’s kicked off and that’s what we’re remembering as we say that]
Janis: [obviously remembering the same times, along with the times we had to for Jimmy ‘marginally’ ‘cos not something we’re going to brag about]
Casey: [‘me too’ because he’d be a terrible patient too, something else you clearly have in common]
Janis: [‘you mostly behave for me’]
Casey: [‘I try, yeah’ with more feeling than how casual that sounds because he really has before and is now]
Janis: [kissing his shoulder because we know]
Casey: [pulling her hair so gently to lift her head up so we can look at you for a sec again with all the feeling and then rest our forehead against yours how we like to do]
Janis: [just doing this for a while, because no hoe is coming and we need to ‘I promise-’ then faltering because you don’t know what words to use here]
Casey: [‘whatever you was gonna say, you’ve got the same back off me’ because it’s the energy, literally anything]
Janis: [‘we’ll sort it, whatever you wanna do, wanna be, you don’t need to rely on Ian for nothing’ this all coming out in a rush because it’s the basis for what you wanna say, being eloquent about it isn’t the important part anyway]
Casey: [‘I’ll not go there’ sincerely meaning it, even if you tell me this is over and essentially chuck me out being very much implied]
Janis: [‘he don’t deserve you, you know that’ like you do, don’t you]
Casey: [looking away because he DOESN’T know that and that’s the tea]
Janis: [‘you didn’t want her to see him’ like bring that energy for yourself too ‘for now, anyway’]
Casey: [‘I took her to meet him though, even before I never had no choice else I wanted to’ because we all remember him talking to Archie and being buzzing for her to meet Ian before Skerries even happened, the way he’d say wanted to like pure ffs why energy]
Janis: [‘she said she loved you so maybe she would Ian, like you do, ‘cos no one else gives you that’ leaving it there because she did not and the rest is history ‘and if no one can stand him you reckon that’s your fate and all’ squeezing his hand SO HARD like I hate Ian but I love you because you are NOT the same ‘I promise that’s bollocks and I’ll prove it’]
Casey: [just looking at her absolutely speechless because despite a decade of evidence it still totally floors him that she can get in his head like that and understand where he’s coming from, literally better than he does]

Bnha 319
It’s been years since I wrote a chapter analysis but this chapter came to my door with “sup bro, the time has come, we’re having some good stuff here” so here we go!
Tumblr media
Well, hello, I missed your faces so much, my precious boys!!! Welcome and pls stick around from now on.
Yeah, Baku tear this stupid letter. Bc letters are for losers, we all wait for bkdk 3 face to face!
Tumblr media
So the whole class is having a 5 o’clock tea in a calm atmosphere and then boom the top 3 interns team is “well hello fellas, quit this sorry pity party we’re gonna go kick on nerd’s ass”
Iida, the serious guys he is goes “yeah ok, but we kinda need a plan or, you know, at least his location. If you’re saying Deku is with top three, maybe you can provide a bit more data here?” Good point Iida, keep it up.
“So guys how’s you mentors doing? Catching villains, kicking asses?” “Well fuck if we know, but Deku is probably with them” “well maybe you could you know, call them? Message in Line?”
Tumblr media
Yeah boy, you’ve seen enough to comprehend the level of selfless recklessness. Was a main star of an action once.
I like how Bakugou is stepping up, ready to be the leader, taking responsibility. And how everyone in class a is ok with that. That guy’ vocabulary didn’t have “a team work” on its pages, and look at him now!
Shouto: my old man hasn’t been spamming my phone. Suspicious!
Ojirou: So the security system was upgraded and oh hey, have you seen AM around? No? Suspicious! 👀
Anyhow, Uraraka is just like “you know when someone is ghosting you, you just pick someone else phone,duh?”
So they’re asking the principal to summon Todoroki-kun. Nezu is ofc on board.
Surprise!!!!
Tumblr media
BAKUGOU WEARING A TIE, omg!!!!!!!! That’s the content!💥
Seriously boy, who forced you? Who tied it for you? Who died for this to happen? I have so many questions 👀
My tdbk heart is screaming for this arm touching, thank Hori, I like seeing them being cozy and stuff.
Honestly I don’t get why Enji being an alumni means that he can’t not to show up. What, is it like “we were dealing with your sorry ass you owe this school till the end of times?”
Shouto: sorry guys, I’m gonna go first here, ok? Class 1A: be our guest, buddy.
Shouto “thanks. khm khm. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, OLD MAN?!!!AM I A JOKE TO YOU?”
You go boy!!
Tumblr media
I’m so damn hyped that Shouto let his frustrations out, I missed pissed off Shouto. Because even after having heart to heart he was still left behind for the greater good. Not cool.
Bakugou, the bff he is, patting Todo on the shoulder “ok chill bro, I’ll take it from here, go get a strawberry milk or smth”
Tumblr media
There is something really catching in this panel. Bakugou seems more mature, shoulders broader, figure more imposing.
So Kats tells Enji “ok, old man, you wanted to help but as always you screwed shit up. Nothing new here. Now as I have a “Deku 101” manual in my room, I’m telling you, AM plus that nerdy ass is the worst team ever.
Enji is listening, bc ofc why not. He can be a good listener when it’s not his son talking.
Todoroki kun gives his phone with GPS, he’s rich, he can afford it. If Sero didn’t catch it, he’d just throw one more.
Next let’s enjoy some profound friendship stuff. The whole class is ready to go and save their classmate now. Quite an upgrade since Baku kidnapping.
Tumblr media
I like Iida. That’s it.
Also I’ve been hoping to see Shouto being disappointed about Mido lying to his face since that moment after jta arc. Pls give my boy a hug. While bkdk 3 is in the air, I want tddk talk to happen too.
Nezu: ok you can take Deku. Nezu a while later: ok actually after giving it some thought bring him back. Slipped from my mind that out security system is actually a thing now.
Permission granted, class 1 a is ready to drag one nerdy ass back.
Baaaaaam
Tumblr media
I like the parallel with AM monument. The class is standing right in front of it, declaring “WE ARE HERE”
Tumblr media
And now, the fight of the year, Broccoli boy vs Feral gremlin and co. !!!
Bakugou is mocking Deku, calling him out on his bullshit. Nothing new here.
Can I quickly say, how beautiful Kacchan is? Sorry not sorry.
Tumblr media
Kudos to the boy, he’s ready to go all the way to bring his frenemy back.
Kudos to Iida for that supporting hand on the back. I anticipate a badass combo attack.
Honestly I was bitter Shouto is not on the last frame but then I gave it some thought and it’s ok. They have a plan and act accordingly. Precious friendo time will come in a bit.
Anyhow, I really enjoyed this chapter. And I’m looking forward to the next one. I have speculations on what’s gonna happen, but I already rumbled about it in my yesterday shit posting. Basically I’m just happy to see class 1A faces. Iida plus some tdbk warmed my heart for the next 7 days. And gifted me tons of new hcs. Thanks sensei.

payback’s a bliss | taehyung  | m
Tumblr media
snippet: “This is going to sound so cliché,” Taehyung starts after too many seconds of awkward silence pass between the four of you, “but this is not what it looks like.”
pairing: taehyung x female reader, seokjin x jeon soyeon from (g)-idle
genre: smut, slight angst, slight fluff
au: coworker, office, valentine’s day, strangers to lovers to friends (s2l2f)
rating: explicit/18+
word count: 9.6k
warnings: y/n and taehyung get dumped :(, seokjin and soyeon are heckin annoying, gross pda, no one does any work in this office, dirty dancing, trash talk, sabotage :)
sexual warnings: voyerism!! sex without orgasming, uncompleted sex, office sex, public sex!, protected sex, lots of hand roaming wink wink, taehyung dig bick gang, lots of makin out!, table sex, slight choking, scratching, smol strip tease, dirty talk, they both question if they really want to do this for the right reason, the sex is kinda short tbh so not much actually happens,
a/n: banner made by @kimtaehyunq​!!! thank you so much maggie!! and thank you for asking me to be a part of your collab! i’ve had so much fun writing this! thank you to @feliix​ and @ughseoks​ for the endless amount of support from both of you
this is mostly unedited :( i’m sorry
this is a part of the be my bangtanvine collab! make sure to check out all of the other amazing stories!
Tumblr media
The sharp edges of the invitation card threaten to prick through your skin as you grip it too tightly. Seokjin and Soyeon are currently skipping about the office, merrily handing out an invitation to every co-worker insight to their fabulous Valentine's Day party they'll be throwing. 
"And we got it approved by the big man to host it here! Everyone must come!" Soyeon’s shrill voice echoes throughout the padded cubicles. 
A groan slips past your lips before you can stop it. Normally you'd be down for office parties and festivities, you're a fun gal after all. But the idea of attending a Valentine's Day party that your ex-boyfriend is hosting with his "newer and better other half" just doesn't sound as appealing as one might think.
You desperately want to crumple the invitation in your fist and you outwardly seethe as Soyeon clutches onto Seokjin's chest as she leans into him with laughter, him naturally moving with her, chest rumbling before placing a passionate kiss on the top of her head. In a gross quirky fashion, Soyeon kicks up one of her feet, giggling with each second Seokjin’s lips are on her skin. 
Her stupid gorgeous skin that glows when the sun shines through the windows.
You hate her stupid skin, the sun should burn her, not make her look like an angel descending upon this earth.
Which, she totally acts like on a daily basis, sunshine or not.
All you can do is remind yourself that you are a better person than your hostile instincts and negative thoughts want you to be.
Taking in a deep breath, you slowly exhale through your nose, lowering the invitation painstakingly slow and delicately placing it to the side of your desk. You will show no weaknesses. They will not get to you. 
A loud huff of breath behind you breaks your concentration, and you turn around to see your co-worker Taehyung failing at being the better person; his jaw is clenched so tightly that the muscles in his face are twitching. His invitation is in pieces scattered across his lap and desk, some bits still stuck to his clenched fists in between his fingers. His entire body reads fire-angry and pissed off, but there's something in his eyes that tells you there's more going on deep within his mind. The way his eyes shake and glisten, it's clear as day he's just as hurt as you are about this situation. 
Taehyung is one of the handful of coworkers you’ve worked beside for years but have never exchanged more than ten words with. He’s quiet, tends to his work, and keeps to himself. Even when he and Soyeon were together he shied away from the PDA and loud declarations of love. The few times you cared to spare a glance in their direction, it always seemed that Taehyung was uncomfortable having all eyes on him with a bright red face paired with fidgeting hands. It was enough to make anyone feel bad for the guy.
Glancing around, you make sure the coast is clear, (AKA: all the attention is still on Seokjin and Soyeon), and you scoot your chair across the short way to Taehyung's desk.
"Hey, Hellboy,” you whisper just loud enough for him to hear, “extinguish your flames will ya?"
Taehyung's jaw relaxes as he looks at you for a moment before turning back to the mess around him. Closing his eyes, he lets out a more tender sigh, carefully picking up each piece one by one before sprinkling them into the garbage.
"Thanks," he says weakly. "I didn't realize I was expressing outwardly. Nuts isn't it?" He forces a chuckle, shaking his head as he goes back to watching the couple of the year receive their compliments and adoration from the other office sheep.
"Completely nuts." You agree, scooching closer until your chairs touch and you’re sitting side by side.
"She's acting like we weren't ever even together. Seokjin seems to be doing that to you too. It's crazy! Weren't you guys together for like three years?-"
"-Three years."
Sighing together, you both lean back into your chairs.
"Soyeon and I were together for four."
The pout in his voice breaks your heart, even more than it's already broken. That feeling alone surprises you. It's not like you're an overly compassionate person, not saying you're exactly heartless, but you and Taehyung have barely interacted. Ever. Even amongst your years and years of working together, nothing more than a simple head nod or raised coffee in acknowledgment has passed between you two. Now, you feel like you need to reach out, rub his arm comfortingly, maybe even offer to take him out on lunch where the two of you can freely be irrationally angry and bitter together. Really, it's just that if you were him, (and you basically are in this situation), you'd want someone to be there for you. Being alone in the midst of a breakup this painful just doesn't seem like a comforting option.
So, stepping out of your comfort zone, you decide to do just what you'd want someone to do for you.
"Let's get lunch together," you blurt out.
Albeit slightly confused, Taehyung smiles and kindly accepts your lunch offer.
Tumblr media
"And then he said, 'You're a little too much to handle sometimes.' Who fucking says that!" You yell over the bustle and noise of the restaurant, voice muffled by the decent amount of food still in your mouth.
"He said that? About you?" Taehyung scoffs, throwing his fork down onto his plate and throwing his body back against the seat cushion. "You definitely don't seem like the type to be described as "too much to handle". I'm insulted on your behalf!"
"Thank! You!" You can't help but raise your voice as you throw down your fork as well, the utensil clattering against the now clean plate. "I can't believe Soyeon gave you such a stupid reason for dumping you. Who just says, 'We were too attached and I need to learn how to be my own person.' then goes around and is immediately in a super clingy relationship? I don't get it. Plus, in my own personal opinion, I wouldn’t have described you guys as too attached. I don’t think I even saw you guys kiss in public. Which makes this thing with Seokjin even more absurd!"
Expecting a fiery response, Taehyung surprises you by staying silent. His shoulders drop as he stares into his half-eaten chocolate cheesecake. The intense, angry emotions surging in your own veins quickly simmers down seeing how truly upset he looks in front of you.
"Hey," you dip your head down, trying to make eye contact, your hand naturally falling on top of one of his own, "don't worry about them. What she told you was bullshit and does not define who you are as a person. What she did was low and was clearly not the real reason she broke up with you. You seem like a great guy and she's going to have to live the rest of her life knowing she let you go." You see a faint smile finally grow on his face, making you smile in return. 
"Thanks, Y/n. I wish I was as strong as you are. I wish I could just be angry and secure with myself." He sighs and leans one elbow on the table, resting his head in his hand as he breaks up pieces of his cake, not making any motions to actually eat it.
You think about what to say and how honest you want to be. You've only just really started talking with him and talking about your feelings and insecurities has never been easy for you to do. Which was exactly one of the reasons Seokjin claimed during his breakup speech.
And fuck that guy. You can be emotionally vulnerable anytime you want!
"I'm not as tough as I'm making it seem," you admit slowly, "It honestly hurts so much it feels like I can't breathe sometimes, you know? I really thought I had opened up to him, really thought I had someone who loved me truly for who I was. I thought he saw the real me. A part of me almost feels violated knowing how much he knows about me." You can't help but chuckle softly to yourself. "Don't give them the power to determine your self-worth, okay? We'll get through this together. You're stuck with me now!"
Taehyung looks up and smiles warmly at you. Genuinely, you believe that you'll be able to make it through this. And it doesn't hurt having someone else here to understand what you're going through. 
Finally going back to eating his cake, Taehyung thinks thoughtfully for a moment, his head tilted in a curious fashion.
"Do you think-," he starts but pauses, scrunching up his mouth to one side as he ponders over what to say. Sighing and looking down once again, he softly says, "Do you think they cheated on us?"
It's a sentence that instantly gives you chills, freezing you in place for a moment because no, you didn't think that, the thought never occurred to you in the first place. Despite how mad you were at Seokjin, he didn't seem like the type to cheat. Now that the thought is in your head, you can't help but rethink situations you may have looked over.
Like the late nights leading up to the breakup, Seokjin stepping out of the room when he got phone calls- something he never used to do before. These things were out of character- yes. But you didn't think twice about it because it just seemed like something everyone did in the midst of a rough patch in a relationship.
Or maybe your subconscious just couldn't handle it at the time.
"She acted differently...in the end. I just wasn't sure if you knew or not."
"No," you shake your head, "the thought honestly never crossed my mind. But now that you mention it, he acted differently in the end too."
For a good, heart-bursting moment, you both sit there and silence and you let yourself feel truly sad about your breakup for the first time. You're not sure what's worse: the blinding anger or the heart-wrenching poignancy.
"This is stupid!" Taehyung finally breaks the silence, his fists firmly planting onto the table as he stands. "We didn't do anything wrong! Why are we the ones who have to be sad and cry into delicious cheesecake? They should be the ones crying into a creamy dessert!"
You can't help but laugh. And once you start, it's hard to stop. The entire situation still doesn't feel real to you, so what else can you do except clutch at your ribs as all the air in your body is used to laugh? Taehyung laughs with you, sitting back down and scooping up the remaining bites of his cheesecake.
"It really is dumb." You finally manage to choke out the words, the laughter slowly dying out between you two. "I wish there was some way to make them feel what we're feeling right now."
Mouth full of food, Taehyung offers a muddled: "Isn’t revenge...ya know...bad?"
Reaching for a napkin, you pause and stare at the lines in the fabric, an idea sparking in your mind. Slowly sliding the napkin over to your new friend, you decide to continue to be bold today and think out loud.
"What if we went to that Valentine's Day party they're hosting?"
Gasping on instinct, Taehyung accidentally inhales part of his cake, spiraling him into a coughing fit. "You want to what? I thought we agreed it would be a terrible idea!"
Smiling devilishly, you wait for Taehyung to notice the mischief in your eyes, wait for him to see that you wouldn't just simply be attending.
"What have you got planned?" He asks carefully.
"Let's go...together." Quirking up one of your shoulders, you play with your fork, spinning the utensil slowly against the point of your finger. It was hard trying to appear so casual, mysterious, and nonchalant when all you wanted to do was shout out your idea.
"I'm honestly such a bad guesser and I'm way too intrigued, but at the same time I'm not stupid enough to fall for the casual 'let's go together' so please tell me what you have brewing in that devilish mind of yours, Y/n, please I'm DYING!"
Taehyung's flair for the dramatics will definitely make this idea of yours even more pleasurable.
Dropping the fork, you look around the restaurant before leaning in, beckoning Taehyung to do the same until you can see the tiny flakes of freckles painted across his cheekbones.
"Okay. So, here's the plan..."
Tumblr media
The next few days go by so fast it's been hard to enjoy the festivities.
And by festivities, you mean the fun going on between you and Taehyung.
The office has become so much more enjoyable having Taehyung in your life. Every day you come into work wearing one of his sports jackets, graciously draping it on the back of your chair after he politely pulls out your seat for you. And every day, after pushing in your chair, Taehyung leaves you a quick, yet passionate kiss on the top of your head, to which you always end up looking up at him with pure joy. 
It didn't take long for you two to become the talk of the office. 
Like a wave of wildfire, everyone began wondering just when you and Taehyung got together, if it was serious, a playful situation, just how far things have gone. You never paid much attention to office gossip before, but you never would have dreamed it was as juicy as this. Being in the spotlight was never your thing, but this was completely different. It felt different at least. Speaking of, you were usually the type of person to shy away from being the center of attention or the talk of the town. You liked that, in this instance, this spotlight was controlled by you and aimed at you just the way you wanted it. Walking around the office with a new wave of confidence felt empowering. Seeing Seokjin's jaw drop to the floor when he saw you, even more delicious.
It's true. Along with the new relationship, you switched up your wardrobe as well. Oh, and getting a new haircut after a million years of avoiding the salon definitely gives you that extra umph that you needed. And, let’s face it, moving on after being mercilessly dumped isn’t official until you do something different with your hair.
"You look..." Taehyung whistles as he not so discreetly eyes you up and down, biting his bottom lip as he does so. "Amazing." Very quickly you see some heads pop out from their cubicles out of your peripheral vision. It makes your smile all the more genuine.
Acting like you think the two of you are all alone in the office lobby, you giggle and lean into Taehyung. "Thank you for buying this outfit for me. It fits me in all the right places." You wink and pull at his tie slightly, turning around and walking away with it slipping through your fingers.
All of the heads quickly return to their computer screens, pretending to not have heard or seen a single thing.
It’s almost too easy.
Seokjin's cubicle is near the front of the lobby with yours and Taehyungs near the middle of the floorplan. Without a doubt, Seokjin's head had to have been one of the ones who was watching you just now. 
Gliding across the floor with Taehyung quickly following behind you, your heels click delightfully against the tile floor. In a split minute decision, instead of trying to discreetly glance into Seokjin's cubicle, you decide to turn back towards Taehyung and reach for his hand, giggling all along the way. 
Taehyung grasps your hand in his, the other hand pocketed in his tightly fit slacks. You weren't the only one with the wardrobe upgrade. If you're being completely honest, he won the makeover competition.
Your partner retired the contacts and went for a classy chic pair of black glasses that fit his facial frame so well, he could be the poster boy for all eye doctors across the nation. He made you want to have poor eyesight so you could sport some fancy eyewear. The two of you also found some new hair product for him and found that curling those chestnut locks made him go from Average Joe to chiseled supermodel. It still baffles you that this was the same Taehyung who's sat behind you for all these years. 
Throwing out the cheap button up collared shirts, Taehyung now sports some fancy looking sweaters, sporks jackets, and silk button-ups. He looks like a million bucks and ever since the makeover he's been getting the attention from strangers from all sorts of people, rightfully so. You’ve also gotten your fair share of head turns and whistles from folks on the street and each one only adds more fuel to your steps.
It's been a confidence boost for the both of you, to say the least.
Once you're near your own office spaces, Taehyung holds onto your fingers instead of letting you go, pulling you quickly back into him so fast that your hand automatically flutters against the swell of his chest.
"I'll miss you," he mutters softly for only you to hear, kissing your knuckles before guiding you to your chair to do his usual routine. Chills dance across your skin as your mind panics for a moment, briefly forgetting that this is all for show.
"I'll miss you more," you recover with a purr. Then, for good measure, ditching the nervousness echoing in the back of your mind, you let out a louder Shhh! noise, resulting in immediate whispers surrounding your not so private cubicle space. You let your finger linger over Taehyung’s lips before sashaying to your desk, leaving him standing in the middle of the hallway staring after you.
This was going all too smoothly.
Throughout the days you and Taehyung manage to find ample time to grossly flirt with one another. One of your favorite hobbies now was deciding where exactly you wanted to meet up and get a little frisky.
Your favorite spot by far is easily the copy room, however cliché it may be. Having Taehyung pressed up against your body as his lips roam your neck, your back either against the copy machine itself or the counter just adjacent to it, it was all too much fun.
Like today, for instance, things might have gotten out of hand.
Taehyung's hands roam your body from your hips all the way up to your shoulders as he murmurs things too quietly for you to even understand. Well, let’s be honest, it’s definitely not necessarily because they were too quiet, but because you were so distracted by just how electrifying his touch feels. It never meant to be this serious. A touch here, a kiss there, outward flirting and such. But now you're starting to think it's becoming more of a game between the two of you instead of an office game you set up to make your ex's jealous. Technically, you didn't need to start this game so early before the party: it's only a week away now. You were way too eager to put your plan into action, and that meant sacrificing the workplace and those that worked around you.
You don't even remember why you were in the copy room to begin with. Usually, you try to plan it so either Seokjin or Soyeon walk in. Lately, it's been everyone but.
Your breath becomes heavier as Taehyung's tongue swipes up along the backside of your ear, a little spot he quickly found brings out some not so innocent sounds from you.
Wanting so desperately to enjoy the attention your body is getting, you can't help but fight against the bliss. You're losing sight of the plan ahead. And you can't help but notice just how naturally you're responding to Taehyung's antics.
"Taehyung!" You gasp, glancing at the clock above his head, not realizing just how hot and heavy it was getting between you two. "I think we need to cool it a little bit. We've been in here for fifteen minutes now and no one has even come close to this room."
He chuckles under his breath, a slow, deep raspy sound that hums like a string quartet on a fine and breezy summer day. "Sorry. Seems I got carried away."
Without hesitation, he backs away from you and you can't deny that your first thought is how much you want him back up against you.
"I'm thinking we came on too strong. Now everyone is afraid of being around us." Taehyung ponders outwardly, a finger slowly tapping against his chin. How the hell is he able to be so sexy and passionate one minute and easily go back to acting like nothing happened?
Gulping, you clutch your arms to your chest, suddenly feeling cold without Taehyung’s warmth. “What do we do now?”
“I guess we can get back to work, there’s plenty of time for more shenanigans later.” He winks and walks out of the room wondering just when he became so carefree and confident.
Tumblr media
A spur of the moment shopping spree sprung at you and Taehyung the night before the Valentine's Day party at the most opportune of times. After all the scheming and planning, the one thing you forgot to plan for was what you would be wearing for the event which blossomed said scheming and planning. Even when you both upgraded your wardrobe before, it was all simple business casual outfits, not a night out attire. 
Taehyung calls you in a panic, words blurring together through the phone as you try to make out what he's trying to say. Eventually, you're able to put two and two together.
"Holy shit we forgot our party outfits." You exclaim dumbfoundedly.
So, that's how you got here. Sprinting down isles with your hands out batting against the edges of the clothes. Some of the fabrics feel soft against your fingertips as the wind blows through your hair. As you look over to Taehyung, you can't help but to smile, not even noticing the gross feeling of old velvet pants going against the groove of your fingertips. Any other day, your body would have recoiled in disgust. But somehow, staring into Taehyung's earthy brown eyes, it's all become manageable. 
As the night continues and fashion show after fashion show occurs, you start to think about how you look at and feel around Taehyung. He's doing everything he can to stay positive in this terrible situation you've both been thrown into, and yet, you find yourself comforted in his presence. While comforting is the best word to describe it, it's also starting to become confusing. Are you starting to look at him romantically? Is he thinking the same about you? It's definitely not an appropriate time for you to jump back into a relationship. Come to think of it, you barely know much about the guy other than what you two share in relationship baggage. 
The rest of the night you seem to move in slow motion, caught up in your thoughts and not really feeling present in the moment. You catch Taehyung sneaking glances at you and it seems he's trying extra hard to be funny with all the ridiculous outfits he's put together.
"How about this!" He jumps out of the dressing room with arms wide open; a bright green feathered boa, red and yellow vertical striped pants, and a shirt that definitely could have belonged to a middle-aged man who loved to go fishing every weekend. There's a certain disconnection you feel with yourself even though it feels like you should be happy.
"You didn't even try to smile," Taehyung’s entire demeaning softens instantly. He walks towards the cushion you're sitting on and joins you, his shoulder lightly bumping against yours, "what's on your mind?"
Not exactly ready to admit your confused feelings about him, if they’re even feelings there at all, you decide to talk about the other thing that’s been disturbing your thoughts: Seokjin.
“I just wish it were easier, you know? Moving on?”
Taehyung huffs and juts out his bottom lip, quickly coming to your rescue by wrapping an arm around your shoulders. You let him consul you, lowering your head onto his chest as he rubs comforting circles on the side of your arm.
“It’s okay. I’ve been having a hard time getting over Soyeon too. It seems that no matter how hard I try my mind always drifts back to her. I still don’t really understand how she could just jump into a relationship with Seokjin and be in love so quickly. It doesn’t make sense.”
“Do you think they could be faking too? Like us?” The thought honestly makes your stomach turn and twist into all sorts of complicated knots. Why would you and Taehyung get dumped only for them to rub it in your face on purpose?
“I’m not sure,” Taehyung sighs, “I honestly wouldn’t put it past Soyeon to do it. There were more than a handful of times when we’d be around a bunch of people and she’d be all over me, couldn’t leave my side. Then, when we’d get home, she’d want her space and do her own thing. Super weird. I think she just needs everyone to see how loved she is. I don’t know. She has her own insecurities she still needs to deal with.”
Nodding your head into Taehyung’s chest, you also reflect on the way Seokjin treated you when you were in front of other people vs. how he treated you at home. And you can’t really think of an obvious difference. He was an amazing boyfriend who just couldn’t seem to fully commit to you.
“Sometimes it’s nice to think that they want to see us upset, doesn’t it?” Taehyung smiles and pats your head, standing up and offering a hand out to you. “Kinda shows us that we mean a whole lot more to them than they’re willing to admit. C’mon. Let’s find you a killer outfit and show Seokjin exactly what he’s missing.”
Tumblr media
“Taehyung. Has anyone ever told you that you could have a future in fashion design?”
You keep staring at yourself in the mirror, looking at every angle possible of the attire you have on. Taehyung picked out everything himself, more than proving that his taste is far beyond more exquisite than all of your project runway knowledge combined. Right away in the store, he commands that blue is the only color he wants to see you in, none of that typical pink or red Valentine’s Day bullshit. “We need to stand out in all the best and worst of ways. Plus, blue is one thousand percent your color.” He had said to you, reassuring you along the way that he’ll find something for you both to match in.s
And he was a thousand percent right. Blue is most definitely your color. The way it brings out the natural highlights in your hair and even that small spark in your eyes, you’ve never been so confident with just a shade before.
The style of the dress itself is something you would expect to see in an over the top beauty pageant with just enough elegance to make it red carpet-worthy; pools of tool and fabric cascade down your legs, a long slit going up until your mid-thigh. The top half of the dress is strapless and slightly exposing the best of what you have to offer. You protested heavily on the attire in the store, it needed more than a little TLC with some rips and tears in the squirt and some stains on the front. But Taehyung had insisted and told you he had a plan in mind. 
In less than two hours Taehyung had successfully stitched and sewed his way to a beautiful masterpiece. You couldn’t even tell this was the same dress he had picked out in the thrift store.
Fondly, he smiles at you as he looks at what he’s created, a hint of shyness overtaking him as he softly admits that his mother and older sister would make their own clothes to save some money. Naturally, Taehyung picked up on what they had learned and actively partook in it as well.
“One year, for my mother’s birthday, my sister and I both worked on this really grand dress. It took us nearly two months to make. I used to be made fun of for this stuff, but nothing feels as good as seeing someone’s face light up when they put on something you’ve made. It’s the same face you have on right now actually.”
You turn and smile back at him, feeling a sense of comfort between the two of you. The warmth from his words is something you’re not quite used to; your connection seems to run deeper than you were ultimately expecting it to be. And you like the feeling of it.
“I’ll kick anyone’s ass if they make fun of you,” you say boldly, hands on your hips for emphasis.
Taehyung throws a pillow at your back, the both of you laughing like high school best friends.
Tumblr media
Pacing back and forth in your driveway, you can’t help but think you might have been stood up. Taehyung said he would be at your apartment a good hour or two before the party so you could help each other get ready and hyped. 
You are definitely not ready. You are definitely not hyped.
Glancing at the clock on your phone only makes you more anxious as you fight the urge to call him for the fourteenth time. The party has started by now.
This didn’t seem in character for Taehyung. Unless, you dreadfully think, you said something that offended him. Maybe he caught a whiff of your little crush on him. Or maybe he just couldn’t bear to see Soyeon on such a romantic holiday night. Your thoughts are spiraling out of control, you take off your heels in a defeated huff, tempting the idea of shucking them into the neighbor's shrubs.
You take a seat on the front porch, heels still in one hand, and laugh to yourself. This is what you get, huh? You wanted revenge and karma did not feel like taking its time in giving you exactly what you deserve.
Thoughts of Seokjin and Soyeon slow dancing under paper hearts spinning on a string from the ceiling leaves you feeling emptier than ever before.
As a large teardrop drips down your cheek, a car turns into your driveway.
“Y/n?” Taehyung slams his door shut and rushes over to you. He’s wearing his blue suit, the one he picked out to match yours. His hair is styled so that part of his forehead is showing. Emotions overtake you and the tears flow more consistently before you’re able to even attempt to compose yourself.
“What’s wrong? Oh, Y/n what’s wrong?” Taehyung sits next to you and pulls your head to his chest, wrapping one arm around the back of your shoulders while the other one wraps around the front of your body. You clutch your hands to your face, embarrassed beyond belief that you’re sobbing on your front porch on Valentine’s Day to your fake date of the night.
You think about mentioning Seokjin and Soyeon, or the fact that you really don’t want to go to this party anymore. Instead, what comes out is, “I thought you weren’t going to show up!”
Pushing you back so he can see your face, Taehyung takes your hands gently, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles while he looks into your eyes. “I could never leave you behind.”
It feels like your heart plummets down a ten-story building and you want to melt into him.
Continuing before you can get ahead of yourself, Taehyung says, “Did my texts not go through? I said we got the time mixed up. The party starts at eight, not seven. I also stopped by to get you this-” He looks around at the ground beside him for a moment, then motions for you to hold on while he trots over to his car.
“Close your eyes!” He yells while laughing. You wipe your eyes one last time before placing your hands over them. 
You hear his footsteps on the pavement as he gets closer. It’s probably some flowers, a corsage even. 
There’s movement on the top of your head and you flinch, nearly opening your eyes before being stopped by Taehyung. “It’s just me, hold on.” He places something on your head, adjusting it and fixing your hair.
“Perfect!” He steps back. “Go ahead. Open your eyes.”
Slowly, you remove your hands from your face and look around. Taehyung is standing in front of you holding a small compact mirror. Leaning forward, you look until you can see your reflection and the small tiara on your head.
“I saw it on my way over here in some small shop window. I just had to get it for you. It really brings your whole outfit together!” Taehyung’s smile is big and warm, rendering you speechless. 
“No need to thank me!” Taehyung puts the compact mirror in his pant pocket, reaching for you to pull you up. “Seeing everyone’s reaction to how amazing you look is all the thanks I need.”
He walks you to the passenger side of his car and opens the door for you, assisting with your dress to make sure not a single string of fabric gets caught.
“Thank you, Taehyung,” you whisper just before he closes the door. There’s a shine behind his eyes as he nods his head softly, his smile still not wavering.
Tumblr media
A nice intense pep talk goes down in Taehyung’s car before you’re both able to walk up to the office hand in hand. You had thought you would be the shaking mess of nerves, but instead, it’s Taehyung’s hand that clutches yours tightly, a slight murmur disrupting his cool demeanor.
All of the office desks have been pushed against one wall with cupid cutouts and (as you predicted earlier) paper hearts hanging from the ceiling. A red light is cast throughout the room giving it a nice sultry feel as light music plays over the speakers. You never realized just how big this floor is. Easily seventy or so people could fit in here for a party. Instead, there’s only about twenty of you.
Everything looked so magical, and yet, it felt oddly prom-like.
You and Taehyung were fashionably late, so as soon as the front door opened with a loud sha-shunk sound, all eyes were on you two.
“Game on.” You smirk, feeling as ready as ever.
“Taehyung! Y/n!” Soyeon’s usual peppy voice wavers over the music. “You’re here!” 
The crowd parts slightly, leaving a space so Seokjin and Soyeon could greet you at the front door.
“Oh, we just couldn’t miss the party of the century!” You laugh, clinging to Taehyung’s upper arm.
“The chance to show off this beautiful lady? Wouldn’t pass that up for anything!” Taehyung is saying this in response to Soyeon, but his eyes are only on you. He gives you a wink for good measure, leaning in slightly until the tips of your noses touch.
“Yeah, like anyone would describe Y/n as a party person,” Seokjin quips. Your eyes narrow, looking over to your ex for the first time. 
You can’t deny how great he looks in his pastel pink suit that perfectly matches Soyeon’s party dress. It accents every curve of his muscles in his arms, his suit jacket practically draping on his wide shoulders.
This might be harder than you were expecting.
“You never really were the type of person to think on their feet, huh, Seokjin?” You chuckle knowing that he really was trying to hurt your feelings in front of everyone. Seokjin glowers at you, his lips a fine, thin line.
Soyeon looks like she wants to say something, but instead grabs Seokjin’s elbow and turns him around, heading back to the middle of the dance floor.
Without looking, you and Taehyung give each other a satisfactory low-five.
“So, snacks? Or dance floor?” Taehyung asks.
“Oh, definitely snacks. I see a bowl of chips calling my name!” You not so graciously speed walk over to said bowl and pick it up, cradling it the same way one would a newborn baby.
Taehyung picks up a large pink cupcake and runs his finger around the frosting, sucking on the digit slowly as he observes the crowd before him.
Soyeon is bent forward slightly, wiggling her butt against Seokjin’s lower regions. The co-workers around them cheer, raising their glasses as they continue to jump to the music. Seokjin doesn’t even look slightly embarrassed. 
“You know, if I would have even dropped low like that to pick up a can of soup or something that fell on the floor, he’d hide his face in shame,” you say with a mouthful of chips.
Taehyung scoffs, shoving the remainder of the cupcake into his mouth. “Ehdgeeut.”
“I bet we could out dance them,” you say more confidently than you actually feel. Without waiting for Taehyung’s response, you grab his greasy cupcake hand and drag him to the dance floor.
Relaxing as much as you can, you try to empty your mind of all fears and anxieties and mimic what you’ve seen in movies and music videos, using Taehyung more as a prop than an actual dance partner.
At first, no one notices you two. But as more co-workers break to grab refreshments, they come back and form a crowd around you two instead of mindlessly migrating back to Seokjin and Soyeon.
And eventually, that left the pair without an audience to flaunt their love in front of.
Taehyung is getting more and more into the movements, and you bet he’s also blocking out the nerves like you are. It’s beautiful watching him smile and enjoy himself, not even noticing the people around him. It definitely helps you feel more comfortable in the spotlight as well.
Pulling you closer, Taehyung lifts up one of your legs and hooks it as his hip, one of his hands roaming up your thigh. Your heart races as his face gets closer to your own, both your foreheads connecting and it feels like you’re breathing the same air.
At this point, you know Seokjin and Soyeon are watching you.
The song ends right as Taehyung pulls you closer and kisses you. It isn’t like any of the fake kisses you’ve exchanged in the office previously. This one is laced with something sweet and spicy, a want you can’t even begin to explain.
And you don’t want to stop kissing him. You don’t want this feeling to end.
“Get a room!” Someone yells from the back, the crowd erupting into laughter as some shield their eyes away from you.
“Maybe we will!” Taehyung yells, grabbing your hand and running with you out of the room and into one of the office hallways.
And as you run, you see Seokjin’s wide, regretful eyes, his shoulders sagging into his suit jacket.
Quite the victory if you’ve ever seen one.

Giggles and shuffling feet is all you can hear throughout the hallway. The cool breeze is barely noticeable against the warm touches from Taehyung's hands around your body. Each time his skin presses against yours, it leaves a ripple of warmth throughout your body, so much so that it feels like you'll never be cold again. 
Your hands grasp the edges of his suit firmly as you momentarily take control, pushing him carefully against the wall so you can kiss him again. Taehyung smiles into the kiss, chuckling deep from his chest as he wraps his arms around your waist. His lips are soft and familiar now and it's become a little too easy to get lost in them. 
At times like this, you forget this is supposed to be pretend. 
Pushing those thoughts away, you continue to dive in. 
These kisses start to feel different than the ones from before. Originally, they were nothing more than quick pecks, not even five seconds long at their most intense. Now, they're slow, both of your lips molding together in slow motion, giving you plenty of time to let your hands roam with minds of their own. Your bodies start to connect like puzzle pieces, like the way your hip naturally leans into his or the way your chest rises up flush against his own. Every time Taehyung's tongue barely sneaks past the edges of his mouth sends a warm chill that blooms deep in your chest, rippling until you feel it in the tips of your fingers. You almost want to sigh in relief the way one would sigh when sinking into a nice warm bath after a long day. 
Seokjin never kissed you like this. 
Slow and steady turns into fast and furious. All of a sudden what you're getting is just not enough. Taehyung pulls at the fabric of your dress, guiding you away from the wall so he can lead you into one of the conference rooms, the very conference room Seokjin and Soyeon will be coming up to in order to exchange Valentine's Day gifts. 
You can't help but wonder if this was done on purpose.
Maybe it's an extreme coincidence that this conference room just so happens to be the closest one for you guys to tumble into.
Once you're past the threshold, Taehyung's in control. He breaks apart the kiss and turns you around, lightly pushing against the small of your back until the front of your body can't go any further: you're now flushed against the conference table. His hands find your hips, moving up and down for a moment, hesitating before boldly moving up to your breasts. 
"Is this okay?" He murmurs with a kiss on the back of your neck, just under your ear as he massages your chest.
It's never felt more okay. Your mind is turning into white static with the built-up attraction. 
"Oh yeah, this is okay." Chuckling, you let your eyes flutter shut, somehow making the experience even more enjoyable this way.
Wasting no time, Taehyung shucks off his suit jacket in one clean motion, tossing it aside carelessly and diving back into your lips.
“Nuh-uh,” you moan against his lips, indicating to his shirt, “off.”
Chuckling, Taehyung breaks away and slowly starts to unbutton his shirt.
“Are you punishing me now?” You laugh, already missing the feeling of him on your skin.
“I can go slower than this,” he plays, the tip of his tongue poking past the side of his lips. Normally you wouldn’t mind a little strip tease or the build of anticipation. But right now, you’re anxious to get him inside of you.
Sauntering over, Taehyung is only halfway down his shirt when he’s close enough for you to grab.
And so you do.
You take his tie into your fist and pull him close, his face now inches from yours. Taehyung’s breathing is heavy, his chest moving up and down almost as quick as your heart is beating.
You move in like you’re about to kiss him, but stop short just as your lips barely brush against his.
“I don’t play games,” you whisper, showing your teeth as you smile.
“Funny,” Taehyung murmurs back, grabbing onto your hips and flipping you around until your ass is flushed against his crotch area, his tie still laced between your fingers, “Didn’t seem that way when you asked me to play along with your little scheme.”
All you can manage is a soft sigh, allowing yourself to relax against his body and letting his tie slip past your fingers.
This is all a game, you remind yourself. Or, at least, it started out as one.
Taehyung unzips the back of your dress, leaving a trail of kisses along the way. If there is a world record for the most amount of times a person has shuddered with chills in the span of ten minutes, well, you would have beaten that record by a mile.
And although you enjoy each kiss and each touch, it’s all going far too slow.
Using what goods you have in the back, you push out with enough force to back Taehyung a step. It was just enough for you to be able to spin around to face him and drop your dress to your feet.
“Wow,” Taehyung gasps, “you are absolutely beautiful.”
“Thanks,” you raise an eyebrow confidently, “I showed you mine, now show me yours.”
Without question, Taehyung moves to undo his belt, still moving rather slowly as he unbuttons his pants.
Your eyes follow his hands as they move back up his legs. Eyeing his frontal area, you’re surprised to see that he isn’t hard yet.
You try not to show your disappointment, but Taehyung notices right away.
Bashfully, he grips the back of his neck with one hand, looking down and apologizing. “I’m just kind of nervous is all.”
“No, no! I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable! I was just a little surprised! If you’re not ready we don’t have to do anything.” It suddenly feels very cold in this room.
Taehyung smiles again, this time more innocently than before, “I want to. Trust me.”
Closing the distance between you two, you kiss him on the lips slowly, waiting for him to take the lead.
It doesn’t take him nearly as long as you had anticipated.
Taehyung’s mouth moves feverishly against yours, that fire instantly igniting back between your two bodies. His hand grips the side of your neck gently, his thumb resting just behind your jawline. It isn’t until your fingernails trail the edge of his spine that his grip hardens slightly, taking your breath away.
Taehyung’s free hand moves to your back to unclasp your bra, doing so in an impressive one try. His hand is instantly on one of your breasts, massaging it roughly.
That is all the touch you need before you’re ready for him.
Your thumb slips past the hem of his boxers, pulling them down and away from his skin. Taehyung steps out of them now completely naked before you. As you continue to kiss, you can’t help but chance a peek at what he has lying below.
And what he has does not disappoint.
“Wow!” You gasp, “Soyeon left you for Seokjin? No wonder she seems more high strung than usual.”
Laughing, Taehyung stops his ministrations and rests his head on your shoulder in embarrassment. 
“And then you,” he returns, “Soyeon may be pretty, but she’s also flatter than a piece of cardboard. You?” He whistles and manages to bring his head back up, eyeing you up and down while biting his bottom lip.
“He’s stupid,” Taehyung concludes.
“And she’s an idiot.” You smile.
“Enough about them,” Taehyung takes both of his hands and grasps your panties. With one swift motion, he rips the fabric in two and is moving you back to the table, back to the original position you were in, “this is about us.”
In his hand, Taehyung shows a condom he must have pulled out of his pocket before. You honestly don’t remember seeing him do it, but you nod your head quickly up and down. Taking it between his teeth, Taehyung rips the fabric and promptly places the condom on the tip of his cock, unrolling it carefully. Your thighs tingle with anticipation, your vagina yearning to be filled by him.
Spreading your legs out so that your feet rest on the tops of the neighboring chairs, you nod your head once more for Taehyung.
Slowly, he inches the tip of his cock to your entrance. 
Taehyung’s arms are placed on either side of your hips and you use his stance to grip his biceps, holding on for dear life as you try to mentally prepare for the massiveness that’s about to enter your body.
Taehyung guides his cock up and down your folds just once before diving right in.
The stretch is absolutely delicious, immediately your eyes roll back with bliss. He’s only able to get inside of you a quarter of the way before he slides back out, repeating the process until he’s able to inch further and further. For a moment it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to bottom out in you. But if you’ve learned anything from this time you’ve spent with Taehyung, it’s that this man is determined.
One final thrust and it feels like he’s pushing straight through your G-spot.
You’re out of breath as you cling to him more aggressively, not able to even comprehend what it would feel like for him to pound into you with everything he’s got.
Taehyung searches for your mouth, planting a long, deep kiss on your lips as he slowly starts to rock his hips back and forth. There’s a tense hunger from his lips that you try to match, but the pleasure you’re feeling down below is distracting your every thought.
After a few moments pass and the strong build-up, you initially felt seems to simmer out. 
Despite the intense need for one another, there's something between you and Taehyung that's different than what you had with Seokjin: spark.
The thought hits you. Hard. So much so that it stuns you into a motionless blob. In retrospect, it isn't even that big of a revelation, but it's enough to put some ease on your mind.
"Y/n. Are you okay?" Tentatively, Taehyung stops for a moment and makes sure to meet your eyes.
Opening your mouth to respond, instead of words an eruption of laughter takes over you growing gradually until your entire body shakes with it. You clasp your hands over your mouth to try to contain it, but it only seems to worsen the giggles.
"I'm so sorry, Taehyung," you finally manage, "I just realized— I don't think…” you take a deep breath, ignoring the screaming voice in your head telling you to shut up, “I don’t think I like you in this way."
There's a moment where Taehyung and you both look down at where your body's currently intertwined and for a second you're afraid that you've possibly hurt his feelings.
He inhales slowly, releasing the air quickly soon after with an 'ahhh' sound. "Oh thank goodness! I wasn't sure if it was just me, but I started to realize the same thing about two minutes ago."
Laughter bubbles from your throat naturally, your lips vibrating as you try to hold it in. But, it’s no use. Taehyung sees you laughing and he can’t help but do the same.
“We should probably get out of here before we make an even bigger fool of ourselves. We can get Chinese? Hang out at my place and talk and watch a movie? I feel like we should talk.”
You’re about to verbally agree when a blinding light interrupts your thoughts.
“Oh my god!” A squeaky voice trills by the doorway, echoing throughout the room. 
You and Taehyung freeze in place; he hasn’t even had the chance to remove his cock from your pussy.
The intense feeling of drowning consumes you as your vision finally comes to focus. At the doorway are Seokjin and Soyeon.
“Y/N?” Seokjin’s voice cracks in disbelief at the sight in front of him.
Panic sets in. How stupid was this idea? Who thought you should go to a work party, strip naked, and start having sex with one of your coworkers on the table in one of the conference rooms?
If it were just Seokjin and Soyeon, your embarrassment would still be there, but at a much more containable and manageable amount. 
The entire office staff on the other hand...you were not prepared for that.
“Everyone leave!” Seokjin yells, turning his back to you and ushering the other coworkers away. As he’s doing so, Taehyung slips out of you, running over to where your clothes were discarded and throwing them at you with haste as he rushes to dress the lower half of himself.
Your arms feel numb as you pull your dress over your head, not even bothering with your bra or panties.
Seokjin returns and closes the door. Soyeon is covering her eyes, her back turned to you and Taehyung slightly as she’s muttering something to herself. Her perfect black hair cascades into a perfect curtain to shield her eyes from your nakedness.
“This is going to sound so cliche,” Taehyung starts after too many seconds of awkward silence pass between the four of you, “but this is not what it looks like.”
Soyeon makes an abundance of gibberish sounds with an aghast look on her face before finally blurting out, “Look like what? Like you weren’t caught having sex with each other?! Jesus, Taehyung! We knew you guys were all over each other but I thought you had enough decency to keep that stuff in the bedroom!” She puts her palms out towards you both and shakes them before turning away once again with her head down, shaking it in disbelief.
“That’s the thing! It’s complicated!” You shout, desperately trying to zip up the back of your dress by yourself.
“Were you or were you not just having sex?” Seokjin says sternly, looking directly at you like a disappointed father. You give up the fight with the zipper and sit down in one of the chairs behind you. It’s you he wants the response from, you can tell by fact that he hasn’t given Taehyung a single glance.
“Yes, but-”
“Then that’s the answer, Y/n. We get it!” Seokjin turns to Soyeon and gives her a gross affectionate kiss on the cheek. “You guys are jealous of the love we found and you didn’t want to be alone on Valentine’s Day. So, naturally, you turned to each other!”
Taehyung looks at you, and you at him, once again neither of you being able to look at each other seriously and you both start to laugh, yet again.
“We aren’t actually seeing each other!” Taehyung leans against the wall so casually, you wonder where this confidence has come from. It looks good on him.
If it weren’t Taehyung, you wouldn’t be so calm about confessing your conniving plans of fake dating. The way he’s so casually laughing and accepting the fact that you were both caught helps ease the anxieties you know you would have felt. And in this moment you realize why he’s not upset and why he’s not embarrassed: he’s finally moving on from Soyeon.
And, you guess, the same thing is happening with you with Seokjin.
“We faked it all,” you smile genuinely, “Of course we were upset when you guys got together, but honestly for myself, I would have had an easier time moving on if you two weren’t constantly shoving your love down everyone’s throats.”
“We’re surprised you haven’t been in a hallmark movie yet,” Taehyung adds.
“Exactly!” Pointing at Taehyung as he nods his head, you relax even more.
Seokjin and Soyeon stare at the two of you, stunned on an entirely new level. Looks like you and Taehyung are the first to tell them how gross and obnoxious their PDA has been.
Soyeon looks at Taehyung with a weird glint in her eyes, one that makes you instantly suspicious of what she’s about to say. 
“Taehyung, let’s get out of here,” you suggest. “I may not be in love with you romantically, but I think it’s safe to say we’re pretty great friends. And as your new great friend, I suggest we quit our jobs and run off together into this sunset!” You jump up quickly and hold out your arm for him to take.
“I agree completely, Y/n!” Taehyung jumps with just as much fervor as you and gladly takes your arm.
As the two of you start to skip past a dumbstruck pair of exes, you pause before Seokjin and boop the tip of his nose playfully. “You’ll tell the boss for us, won’t you?” You wink and continue on with Taehyung.
Deep down, you’d give anything to go back in there and explain the situation entirely with your ex, to have one last heart to heart and really see just what’s going through his head and to get some sort of closure. But you know it’s not healthy to act that way anymore. It’s better to move on and enjoy the day with your newfound friend. So what if you’re single this Valentine’s Day. At least you get to be single with Taehyung.
Later that night, as Spongebob plays in the background of Taehyung’s living room, you look around at all the empty Chinese takeout boxes and at Taehyung passed out on his side of the couch, and you realize for the first time you feel genuinely at peace. Sure, you know it’s going to take some time to fully get over Seokjin. 
With a friend like Taehyung by your side through it all, though, you know it won’t be so bad.

Heyo ✌🏻! ik know this request can be kinda wierd but...How would the madcom main trio + (anyone you'd like to add) react to a Half-dragon!reader who can actually transforms into a dragon when angry? thx! ~🦉anon
dw its not weird!!! /gen its a rlly neat idea and i am looking so intently,,,also i hope u dont mind i just went w/ tha main trio wyduesdc,,
theres a good title right here i promise
Hank
-this man is so so curious about you its insane. the amount of time you'll just be sitting down reading or watching something and he'll just. come up behind you and quietly ask permission before he jut like. traces your wings / horns really carefully
-he still wont ever like. FIGHT fight with you but he kinda likes to just see what you can do??? if you seem kinda clueless or lost in that field then he definitely tries to help (please consider ; his calloused hands over your own while he readjusts your grip on some weapon, the little pleased hum and quick compliment he gives when you get it right) you out. also if you ever kinda like. headbutt him or something bc of your horns during these he just laughs and its rlly nice :]
-messes with ur claws a lot too, whenever u guys hold hands its a guarantee that he's gonna fidget with them a little. he just thinks they are Neat. also he's like sheriff (/derogatory) in the way that he kinda blanks whenever he sees your sharp teeth. if you ever kind of. use them in fights against grunts or agents he just stares. it makes him go head empty no thoughts
-unfortunately it is VERY hard to carry him when flying so you don't really get that option unless ur pissed :[
-SPEAKING OF, whenever he sees you shift during missions or something he does his best to give you a little space so you don't have to worry abt accidentally hitting him. also he thinks you're fucking legendary with how you can rip and tear through enemies
-after the fights over tho he'll usually just kinda place his hands on either side of your face and lean his forehead against you to try and calm you back down
Deimos
-fire starter x fire starter what could go wrong!!! <33333 you breathe little huffs of smoke whenever you're upset and sometimes he'll just imitate you with his own smoke lmao
-also very very curious about all ur nonhuman features !! he likes messing with your wings a lot whenever you two cuddle and he'll just kinda. 'does this hurt / can you feel it???' as he messes w/ em. does the same thing with ur horns too (if urs are able to like. shed and regrow then mercy on him because he'll just be like. pulling on em a lil out of curiousity when its around shedding time and they'll just. snap off. you can see all the blood leave his face. IMMEDIATELY starts panicking and freaking out,,,pls reassure him you aren't in pain and that this is normal he's GOING To start crying if you dont)
-luckily for u!! it's a little easier for you to carry him around than with hank. really loves it when you do it even tho he was super scared at first you were gonna drop him. sometimes u'll just kinda be. flying home from a mission or sumn and he'll just fall asleep laying on ur back because he feels so at peace,,
-ur claws scare him a little bit tbh BUT,,he relates to the sharp teeth thing, you shake hands on it :] . but also he kind of. chuckles a little when you guys kiss sometimes because he's still not super used to someone other than him having sharp teeth like him
-n e ways!! whnever you shift he admittedly gets pretty nervous abt it,,he'll steer clear too just to be sure but the entire time he's fighting other agents his gaze keeps flicking over to you. he just!! really worries abt u :[ but also he is impressed by ur ability to turn agents to dust and stains in seconds it makes him go 'awooga' under his concerns lol
-whenever its over he always just come over to you and does that gentle little 'hey, hey' before holding ur face in his hands. most times it ends with you resting your head on his lap while he kinda. pets you and reassures you everythings alright and that ur both safe and fine until you feel properly calm enough to go back to ur normal form. he gets a little emo abt it because he genuinely does worry so much abt u pushing yourself too far or someone doing serious damage to you that you couldn't take if you were to shift back
Sanford
-he gets deimos' and sheriff's 'people who can crush me' thing a lot more after he meets you lol. like. at first you might not be super intimidating but after the first few times he sees you fight?? he's gone. done for. 110%.
-admires u all the time, you'll just be chilling or maybe you're talking to deimos about something and the entire time he's jut off to the side with a little smile on his face. if someone points it out to him he just kinda goes blank and gives some really weak excuse, awkwardly stuck between his normal tough facade and relaxing a little.
-you two are a fucking MENACE when you're put together on missions. you both clear through rooms way too fast its crazy, what the fuck is an agent supposed to do when some half-dragon is charging at it with bared teeth and claws while their boyfriend chokes out one of his co-workers while shooting another. what the fuck.
-also traces ur features a lot but he usually only really does it when he thinks ur asleep. he's a little too embarassed to ask if he can touch them when ur awake so he resigns to very carefully brushing his hands over your tail and horns. (if you have any scratches or dents in your horns though he totally asks about them and the stories behind em, he's just rlly curious abt you in general and like. who in their right mind would pass up an opportunity to hear abt their sick-ass dragon s/o about a possible fight they won???)
-but also he gets nervous whenever you shift too. he's afraid of you getting hurt or the possible emotional tolls that it has on you mentally and he brings it up to you sometime after the first few shifts he sees. he's just real concerned about you :[
-very similar to deimos in how he comforts you, he doesn't like leaving unless you've calmed back down, both because he wants to make sure there's no real wounds on you and because he doesn't wanna risk any other agents seeing you and trying their luck. if you're exhausted afterwards then he'll usually carry you, mumbles little words of assurance and praise to you while he does so

I'd love to hear more of your Phobditor HCs!!
ohoho thank you for enabling me anon i am going to kiss you directly on the mouth /pl
also slight warning for spoilers to the new(??) ending of project nexus!! i don't talk explicitly about what happens in general, but the stuff involving phobos is mentioned in the very first hc so for those of you who don't wanna be spoiled you can just skip that one lol. grab sum popcorn lads this one's a long one snbcnkcnvmv
Phobditor HCs!!
rbs very much appreciated 👉👈
---------------
so i hc that phobos didn't actually get banished at the end of MPN, but he did get his ass handed to him to the point where he was so injured and drained of energy that he couldn't use most of his abilities. he went into hiding for a while and eventually found the AAHW, which he proceeded to join since he didn't really have anywhere else to go. after he'd healed and returned to his full strengh the auditor recognised how potentially useful he could be as a second in command, but ofc he'd have to earn her trust first. normally i don't try to make things make sense like this but since the auditor isn't actually in MPN i thought i'd at least try lmao
the auditor: ruthless girlboss by day, feral spouse-adjacent shithead by night
phobos is basically the same but instead he's manipulate mansplain by day and malewife manwhore by night /hj
before they got closer they'd never really physically interacted w/ each other, so phobos kind of assumed the auditor would be at least slightly painful to touch [cuz yknow. she's made of fire lmao]. plus he'd witnessed her setting things and people on fire with her bare hands before and he'd rather not get turned into a walking bonfire, thanks. the closest she'd ever been to touching him previously was like flicking the antenna on his helmet to piss him off
but like way, WAY later he finds out that audi can actually manipulate the temperature of their flames to an extent, so when they touch his hand for the first time he's really surprised when they're just like. pleasantly warm. kinda like the fuzziness you feel after you drink something hot but on the outside of your body
however this has also resulted in phobos using her as a mobile safety blanket lmao. sometimes if it gets too cold in the office he'll wander up to her and bug her until she folds a wing around him and tucks his head under her chin
when he's being a shithead sometimes she'll just pick him up by the back of his jacket and drag him off like a disobedient kitten lmao
They don't really have a super crazy height difference normally [i hc that audi is around 6'3 and phobos is 5'10 if he's not slouching] but sometimes she just morphs herself to have a several-foot height advantage just to fuck with him. like she'll appear in his office as this 9-foot-tall behemoth and he'll just be like "?? excuse me?? ma'am?? you can't do this to me???"
before he got to know her better, phobos had no idea the auditor preferred she/they pronouns over they/it like the agents around him seemed to think. he never made a big deal out of it and never explicitly brought it up, but he remembers to switch it up for her every now and then. plus whenever audi overhears him doing that she gets all fuzzy inside sfbfnckvj
phobos really likes her wings. he actually might be a little jealous of them, but he'd never tell her that sfvngk
ever since audi found out about this, they tend to subtly unfurl them and use them to gesticulate more when he's around. occasionally she'll use the claws at the peaks of her wings on touchscreens in place of a finger n stuff. she's also [gently] swatted him upside the head with a wing a few times when he was being a dickhead, but it doesn't really hurt him lol
she also lets him pet them when they're not busy. contrary to what he'd assumed, it doesn't actually feel like a whole lot to her - she's described the feeling as something similar to how it feels to have someone tracing their fingers along the back of your hand
phobos stims sometimes!! he has a bad habit of masking while he's working since a few of them are vocal and he doesn't want to distract anyone, but if he's just hanging out with audi he's totally chill. one of his more common ones is when he thinks out loud, either quietly narrating his current train of thought or saying unrelated words - usually confirmations like 'yeah' or 'mhm' - out loud cuz he thinks they're fun to say. occasionally he'll start humming low in his throat kinda like a microwave cuz he likes how his voice feels in his chest
also when he's standing idle sometimes he holds his arms closer to his chest and fidget with them
the auditor doesn't stim, but to people who know them well their wings are like big signs that can wordlessly describe how they're feeling [which is like my favourite thing to write cos wing emoting is really fun skdjbknk]. occasionally they might subtly flutter their wings when they're very pleased or receive good news, or flare them out when they're irritated/stressed
i always forget that phobos is actually like super powerful in canon so i hc that audi does too lmao. like it always slips her mind that he can teleport too so she'll dramatically disappear after telling him off for doing some dumb shit and fuckin scream when he somehow appears in the same room as her less than a second later
phobos has a red and black lava lamp in his office!! he'd never admit it but he got it cuz it reminds him of audi :]
phobos loves watching audi in combat for some reason. i mean he already likes watching them do stuff so he can backseat drive, but he's also quietly admitted that her fighting style is interesting to watch
he can't really put it into words, but it's because the way they fight looks incredibly effortless and fluid, mainly due to them having so much time to adapt to and understand their powers [both their original powers and the ones granted by the halo]. when phobos' own abilities started to surface he was incredibly unstable and struggled to properly harness them for months, so he thinks it's nice to watch someone who actually knows what they're doing for once.
much to the auditor's surprise, phobos is actually a bit insecure behind all that confudence, particularly about scars. after being close to her for a while, phobos came out of his shell a bit and explained how he managed to grant himself his powers/abilities, which is something i'll absolutely go further in depth with later [via a longer hc that i'm gonna post eventually lol] but to summarise he basically infused himself with raw madness in what he's eloquently dubbed 'the incident'. Of course, doing that to himself didn't come without consequence, and he's permanently scored with a variation of lightning & burn scars on his forearms, thighs, and most of his torso.
for the longest time, the most casual thing he'd wear even around just her was the long-sleeved sweater he wore underneath his trench coat, and he refused to change even if he was literally overheating. though eventually after he told her about what happened he felt way more comfortable and now whenever they're in their shared room audi practically has to throw a shirt at him to get him to wear one sbkcjcnk
the auditor has a sort of subspace/pocket dimension where they can store different items and recall them at will. normally it's pretty empty, but ever since she grew to like phobos she's started keeping miscellaneous things in there for him. sometimes she pulls out a drink or snack that he likes, sometimes she pulls out a little water gun with phobos' name scrawled on it and shoots him with it when he's being a shithead
they are both,, SO fucking touch-starved. like they will not let go of each other [at least if they're not currently in the middle of something or around agency employees] cuz internally they're both just going "wow!!! that's a hand i'm holding!!!!! there's a hand holding my hand!!!! wow!!!!!! i love this!!!!!"
having one eye isn't exactly the best thing for depth perception, especially when you're really tired, so sometimes audi has to hold phobos' hand and guide him around in the mornings because he can [and has] walked into walls and counters
even since before they became a thing, phobos had been a little envious of the auditor's halo and the powers it granted her. he used to subtly try to yoink it from her, maliciously at first but far more playfully later, where he'd like lightly grab it and give it a gentle spin above her head like a mobile. but his infatuation with the halo kinda died after she decided to let him borrow/try it out once by allowing him to link with it
by linking i essentially mean like wearing it, but the halo is so powerful that you can't just 'wear' it without letting it bond with a part of you
long story short, he went into it with far too much overconfidence & cockiness and the halo violently rejected him, kind of like how it rejected the auditor once. he wasn't at all prepared for the sheer amount of power that surged through him the moment it started to link with him, so it essentially short-circuited his brain and knocked him unconscious for the better part of a week. when he woke again, the auditor told him he was lucky his head didn't explode and calmly suggested they never tried that again, and he felt inclined to agree.
of course, he still toys with the halo while the auditor's properly linked with it since he knows it can't link to more than one host at a time. and despite his seeming ease and "it's in the past" sort of mentality about the whole event, if someone mentions the concept of him actually taking the halo and linking with it again, he'll shudder and shake his head, saying it's not his place to do so.
the auditor has no doubt it delivered a pretty harsh blow to his ego [being rejected by the thing that would make him a god would prolly do that], but knows he's too prideful to admit that.
audi likes listening to phobos when he goes off on super long monologues, especially if they're like those super cheesy villain monologues. like he could literally be talking about anything and she'll sit there to hear him out, especially if it's less related to work and more about himself
the auditor is super deliberate in the way they pronounce things and they tend to casually drawl their words out to further cement their cool, unbothered boss persona. however the way she talks doesn't really intimidate phobos anymore since he's also been next to her right after she's been woken up, when she's mumbling quietly & slurring some of her words together. he knows the big scary boss side of the auditor is just a persona used for everyone but him, so he feels a lot more at ease with them even when they're trying to be scary
even after being together for a while, phobos still has no fucking idea what the auditor is made of. like he's admitted to her that he's genuinely clueless, and if she lets him he'll spend like 99% of their downtime quietly interacting with her flames [read: curling his fingers through them and petting them] while he muses about his hypotheses for how stuff like her liquidy-shadow form works. they were a little suspicious of his motives at first, but after they relaxed they realised he was just genuinely curious and willing to share his concepts to see if he was right
they have like. the smoothest banter anyone at the agency has seen. like it's super cheesy back-and-forth stuff that wouldn't sound out of place in an 80s sitcom, but it just kinda flows out when they're both comfortable. and ofc they'd deny it if anyone mentioned it but they literally banter like an old married couple lmAO

Chapter 7 Part 1
Lay your demons at the door, this is what we're fighting for, trying to clear the air but nobody's talking. We've been breathing this disease, trying to find a way to see, but the end is in your eyes, let's finish this tonight.
Tumblr media
“What I don’t get,” Jensen looked at the bridesmaid who watched him with rapt attention, twisting a strand of hair round her finger, “is why come to Mexico and not get married on the beach?”
“Well they thought about it, but then Jolene decided she didn’t want to get covered in sand.” The red-head shot back. “So they chose this terrace, it’s kinda on the beach, I mean, you can see the ocean.”
“But if you don’t want to get sandy, why come here in the first place?”
“Because it’s cheaper.” She shrugged.
“So you’re saying Pooch is a cheapskate.” Jensen raised his eyebrow and she hesitated before she shook her head.
“No, that’s…” she began to talk, protesting that wasn’t what she was saying when he heard Roque shout out Stella’s nickname.
“Hey, Arty!”
Jake instantly glanced over his shoulder to look for her, and when he saw her, the air was completely knocked from his lungs.
Her dress was a gorgeous watercolor-like ombre blue. The deepest of sky blue shade covering her shoulders with wide straps and a deep v-neck line that wrapped at her breasts and it lightened just at the lower ribs to a cotton blue, before trailing down at the hemline in a pale blue almost white shade. The cut exposed her leg to mid-thigh, giving just a peek of the petunia inked into her skin. Her hair was pulled back off her face in an elegant, sleek pony tail and her lips popped a deep, burnt red. Her blue eyes stood out under thick lashes and perfectly lined eyebrows, the rest of her make up remaining neutral. She'd only been in the sun a day, but just as it always did, it had kissed her body in a way that made each little freckle pop and her entire frame glow.
The salty sea air and sunshine always looked good on Stella Stevenson and today, the overall effect made Jensen's mouth water.
“Holy shit.” He muttered, turning away from the girl and conversation without so much as a goodbye, leaving her stood there shooting daggers at his back.
Stella smiled as Roque kissed her cheek, then Cougs and finally Clay before she stepped back and smiled as their Colonel’s arm curled around the slim, petite brunette to his right.
“Stel, this is Emma, Emma this is Stella.”
“It’s nice to meet you.” Emma smiled, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Why doesn’t that fill me full of confidence?” Stella laughed and Emma shook her head, smiling.
“Oh, no, I assure you, it’s all been good!”
As the two women continued to chat and laugh, Jake stood there, waiting for his turn, hands jammed into the pockets of his dress slacks. Eventually, Stella nodded and turned to him and he flashed her a smile.
“You know, that’s the second day in a row I’ve seen you looking like a grown up!” She quickly scanned him up and down, taking in his well-fitted, steel grey suit. The top button of his jacket fastened, nipping in at his slim waist and spanning over his broad chest and shoulders. The crisp white dress shirt underneath stood out against the suit, and matched his white pocket swatch, the entire ensemble pulled together by the steel grey tie which matched his jacket and slacks.
As she was looking, Jake leaned forward, her perfume sending him lightheaded as always. He placed a gentle peck to her cheek, his chin brushing her ear slightly. “You look stunning.” He whispered, and he didn’t miss the goose-bumps that appeared on her skin as she swallowed and pulled away.
“Thanks.” She stood still, simply looking at him, and the two of them were locked in a gaze before Stella cleared her throat, breaking the spell. “You guys know where we’re supposed to be seated?”
“Yeah, we’re on the right,” Clay gestured, “Grooms side or whatever.”
The gang moved to find their seats, Jensen stepping forward ready to offer Stel his arm but Roque beat him to it.
“Always the gentleman, huh?” She smiled at him and he chuckled, a deep, low timbre rumbling from his chest.
“You know me, Arty.”
Jake watched them go, before he gave a yelp and clutched at his side, glaring at Cougar.
“Stop drooling, Jensen.” Cougar peered at him from underneath his hat, smirking as Jake rubbed at the place on his ribs where he had dug him with his elbow.
“I’m not drooling, shut up Cougs.”
Thankfully, Cougar left it there and they moved to take their seats along the row that Clay, Emma, Roque and Stella had already occupied. Cougar, whether on purpose or not, reached the end of the row first and slid in next to Stella, separating her from Jensen. Jensen rolled his eyes, but before he could get too pissed about it, Pooch arrived, in a simple black pinstripe three piece with an ivory and red striped tie, and made his way down the aisle, greeting everyone. He stopped at the row that contained the Losers and smiled, Jensen pulling him into a hug, clapping his shoulder as he pulled away.
The thing with weddings, is that no one can actually tell you were the day goes. They seem to pass in a whirl and Pooch’s was no exception. What felt like mere seconds after The Groom had arrived, but was in fact more near to twenty minutes, the music started and Jolene appeared at the large arch at the back of the terrace, walking slowly with her dad down the aisle, in a gorgeous knee-length fitted lace dress, which set off her curves and legs perfectly, her curly ebony hair pinned up elegantly at the back of her head. As she reached Pooch, she reached up and straightened his tie and Stella heard a “Pay up, Captain” to her right. She turned to see Roque reaching over Emma, handing Clay a twenty, not even looking at him, and she let out a soft snort, shaking her head.
The Bride and Groom exchanged simple vows and Pooch head tears in his eyes as he made his declaration. At that point, Jake couldn’t help but take a glance at Stel to find her looking down at her hands, the fingers of her left twisting the white gold and ruby solitaire ring that sat on her right ring finger, a gift from him for her twenty-first. He swallowed a little, as he hadn’t seen her wear it in a while before she glanced up, and he took the opportunity to study her pretty profile for a second before he turned his attention back to the front for the ring exchange.  Before long the new Mr and Mrs Pooch headed down the red carpet in the middle of the aisle to cheers and the guests filed their way back inside for drinks whilst the staff set up the outside terraced area for the reception.
To Jake’s delight, there was no huge stuffy sit down meal, it was just a large buffet which meant he could eat what he wanted and how much he wanted, which suited him perfectly. What didn’t suit him, however, was that he didn’t see that much of Stella, at all. Post eating and listening to the speeches, whether intentionally or not, she avoided him, spending most of the time sipping champagne and cocktails chatting to Emma and few of Jolene’s friends. Jake was left to mooch around, mainly with Cougar who was absolutely trying to get into the blonde bridesmaid’s panties. Unfortunately, she was stuck like glue to the red headed one that Jake wasn’t interested in.
“You make a shit wingman.” Cougar gave a jab to Jensen’s rib with his elbow as the two girls wandered off.
“Good job I’m not a pilot then.” Jensen shrugged, taking a pull from his beer as his eyes scanned the room for Stella.
At that point they both got strong slaps on their shoulders as Pooch drew up behind them both, leaning between them a little.
“Your momma was a pilot.”
Cougar and Jensen both looked at one another before they slowly turned to glance at Pooch.
“Did you just drop a momma joke on your wedding day?” Jensen snorted
“A shit one at that.” Cougar added, tipping his hat slightly with the neck of his bottle.
“Come on guys! As you have just said it’s my wedding day so let’s have a drink together before Jolene’s, sorry my wife’s,” at that he grinned, “bridesmaids hunt you down again.”
“What if I want to be hunted?” Cougar shrugged
“Hence why I said before. Pay attention Cougs.”
“Chinga tu madre, Cabrón.” Cougar smirked, causing both Pooch and Jensen to snort as they knew that insult very well having heard it a few times.
“I dare you to say it to her face.” Pooch looked at him as Cougar merely smirked, giving him a wink.
Pooch rolled his eyes, “what about you, Jensen?”
“I don’t wanna fuck Momma Pooch!”
“Why? What’s wrong with her?”  Pooch looked at him.
“What? Nothing, that’s just gross!” Jensen pulled a face.
“He’s considering a trip down memory lane instead.” Cougar teased and Pooch groaned.
“Dude! Seriously, you need to get over it!”
At that Jake turned to look at Cougar. “No I’m not, stop making shit up!” Cougar shrugged, smirking slightly and simply held his gaze as Jensen groaned. “Whatever, man.”
Cougar merely shrugged, as chilled as ever whilst Pooch laughed and handed them a drink from a passing tray. “Well, I think that deserves a toast. To the first married Loser…oh, wait, that would be me! And to Jensen who seriously needs to stop flogging a dead horse!”
Jensen took a deep breath, once upon a time he’d fully expected to be married by now, full disclosure, to Stella. Maybe a kid on the way if there wasn’t one around already. And that thought gave him a perfect way out of this current train of conversation.
“How long till Baby Pooch comes along?”
“Dude, if it was up to me he’d be on the way already!” Pooch grinned.
“He?” Jensen shook his head. “Nah man, you want a girl.”
“What? No! I want a little Pooch. Why would I want a girl?”
“A girl always loves her daddy.” Jensen shrugged. “Like Gracie, man, she’s awesome. There’s just something about seeing her with Robert. It’s cute.” He paused and grinned. “I want a girl. Imma call her Daisy.”
At that Cougar let out a snort as Pooch began to howl with laughter.
“Who’s Daisy?” Clay asked as he appeared with Roque, the pair of them smirking at something.
“Jensen’s first born. Apparently.” Pooch wiped his eyes.
“Wait, what?” Roque frowned and turned to Jensen. “You have a kid?”
“No, it’s a hypothetical one.” Jensen shook his head.
“Good.” Roque blew out a breath. “Do me a favour and never reproduce, Jensen.”
“Fuck you Roque,” Jake snapped back. “I’d make a great dad.”
“Yeah, well, you might wanna start ‘daddying’ that chick in the red dress over there, because she’s eye-fucking you shamelessly.” Roque nodded over his shoulder and Jake turned around. He gave the girl a once over, she was pretty but…his trail of thought died as he spotted Stella was stood alone at the bar. He necked his drink and holding up his glass he stated, “need a refill.” before he turned and headed over the room.
“Yeah, sure.” Pooch rolled his eyes as Cougar gave a low chuckle.
“Told ya.”
“Man he just can’t help himself, can he?” Roque shook his head as the three of them watched Jensen who approached Stella, his hand dropping to the small of her back as he leaned over to talk to her.
“Nope” Clay let out a sigh as Stell laughed at something Jake said. “Ahh, leave him to it, we can always do damage control, as usual where he is concerned.”
“How do you damage control a suicide bomb?” Pooch looked at Clay and Roque snorted.
“Pooch is right, dude is basically a hand grenade right now.”
“Don’t get involved guys.” Clay shook his head and Cougar nodded.
“I agree with boss. If Jensen’s gonna pull the pin, he can dive on it.”
“The problem will come when he tries to ‘pull her pin’ and she kicks his ass. But, fortunately I will be enjoying my wedding night.” Pooch shrugged. “See ya, Losers. Don’t have too much fun!”
The three of them watched him wander off over the room, shouting to someone, and Clay’s eyes fell on his date, Emma, who was smiling at him and waving from her spot at a table.
“I will also be enjoying Pooch’s wedding evening.” Clay winked and walked off.
Roque turned to look at Cougar. “Don’t even think of it…”
Cougar merely chuckled, tipped his hat and also wandered off, hands in his pockets as he sauntered over to a group of girls.
“That’s okay, just leave me here, I’m good!” Roque called after them before he let out a sigh. “Assholes.”
****
As the hours passed they drank, a lot. And naturally, where alcohol is involved inhibitions start to lower. There was a lot of fun being had, a lot of jokes being shared and other stupid activities being partaken in, such as a raucous drinking game Stella and Jake played against  Pooch’s uncle and his brother.
Which they lost, spectacularly.
Stella was feeling fairly light headed thanks to the mix of champagne, beer and cocktails running through her system, along with a few shots of tequila and somehow, she had no idea how, the two of them ended up on the dance floor, dancing to some really random shit when ‘La Bamba’ started playing. Jake grabbed Stella’s hand with a whoop of joy and started twirling her round, her face creasing in laughter as they let loose, Jake showing off his pretty neat footwork
“I thought you said he wasn’t taken?” The red headed bridesmaid gestured to Jake as she stood next to Pooch and he snorted.
“He’s not”
“Could have fooled me.”
“It’s complicated.” Pooch shrugged. “Long story short, she’s taken, he’s not. He wishes she wasn’t as it’s his fault she is.” He turned to the woman besides him. “If that makes any sense.”
From the look on her face, it made no sense at all, which wasn’t surprising to Pooch as he struggled to make sense of Jensen and Stella’s fucked up dynamic, but before she could reply there was a slap on his shoulder.
“Ten bucks says they end up in bed together,” Roque slurred.
“No way man.” Pooch shook his head, “she won’t cheat on Evan.”
“Fuck that guy,” Roque snorted. “Look, she’s hammered, here alone, I’m calling it.”
Pooch was about to tell Roque that Evan present or not, Stella would cut Jensen’s balls off if he tried anything when the familiar opening bars of ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ cut across the dance floor.
Both Stella and Jake paused a little, Jake running his hand through his hair as he gestured to the tables, clearly asking Stella if she wanted to quit dancing when she shook her head, giving him a smile, which Jensen returned as she took his hand, the pair of them beginning to sing and dance along.
“Twenty bucks,” Roque hiccupped, upping his stake.
“You’re on.” Pooch shook his hand as the bridesmaid snorted.
“And you’re losing.”
Pooch watched her go and then turned back to the dancefloor to see Jake and Stella now dancing pretty close...
This had always been their song. That was why Jensen had asked if she wanted to sit it out when it had come on, but she’d refused, and as such he’d been twirling her round to the music just like he always had. After one spin, they end up facing one another, singing very loudly as Jake threw his arms up and around, Stella snorting and laughing at his antics.
“Do you remember dancing to this at prom?” Jensen grinned as he continued to throw his arms around wildly, Stella shaking her head. He smiled, his mind straying back to that night, how amazing the entire evening had been, not least for the fact it had been the first time they’d fully given themselves to one another. He remembered laying there, after, as they both giggled and kissed and cuddled, thinking there and then that was it for him, there’d never be another girl who came close.
And then he’d pulled a Jensen, and ruined it.
“Of course I do.” Stella smiled. “Life was simpler back then, huh?”
“Isn’t it always?” Jensen asked as he spun her back round, pulling her in so her back was to his chest, hands dropping to her hips as the electric guitar solo struck up signalling the song was almost at and end. He felt Stella take a deep breath.
“Well we were kids.”
“But it was easy.” Jensen dropped his chin to her shoulder, his cheek brushing hers. “It was just you and me and the rest of our lives ahead.”
Stella tilted her head to look at him as the song faded into ‘I’ve Had The Time Of My Life’ and she pulled away, turning to face him with a shrug.
“Didn’t quite work out the way we thought though did it.” She asked, her hands sliding round his neck.
Jensen sighed, his fingers flexing against her hips. “I know. I fucked up.” He swallowed, the lump thick in his throat and Stella shook her head.
“Don’t.” She warned. “Not now.”
But Jensen wasn’t listening. He had to get it off his chest, he couldn’t stand the sick, hot feeling he got every time he thought about her and Evan. He needed to tell her, even if she told him there was no chance for them ever again, at least he’d know.
“No, just listen to me, Stelly, please.” His eyes locked onto hers. “There’s not a day goes by I don’t regret it. You know that, right? And no matter what happens I’ll always-“
He was cut off as Stella landed a harsh, stinging slap to his left cheek, his head whipping to the right. He took a deep breath, stunned, before he turned his head to face her, shocked splashed across his handsome features.
A few people around them stopped dancing, and Stella could hear a few hushed whispers, along with a louder shout of ouch, from who she had no idea. She opened her mouth to say something, the tears spilling from her eyes before she realised she needed to get out of there, and fast. So she did.
She hurried out of the room towards the hotel lobby and elevator, wiping the tears that were falling down her face. She knew she shouldn’t have done that, and maybe it was a little harsh, but the anger she felt towards Jake at that moment in time was insurmountable. He had left her, twice basically, and continued to fuck with her head, and then had the audacity to try and ...well, she didn't even know what he was trying to do. Her head was a mess, a fuckery of conflicting feelings, and she was as drunk as she could remember being in a long time, which wasn't helping.
She was also well aware that she'd just made a complete scene at Pooch's wedding, potentially seen by his entire family and friends, and that not only embarrassed her, it also made her feel like crap for being that asshole guest that everyone would be talking about for months to come.
*****
Jensen ignored both Roque and Clay who had crowded round to ask him what the hell he'd done to deserve a slap, but he simply pushed them out of the way, only one thing on his mind, getting to Stella and making her listen. He hurried out of the room, skidding to a slightly unsteady halt in the corridor before he jogged down the hallway and into the lobby where he spotted her at the elevator.
“Stel!" He yelled her name in an attempt to stop her, drawing intrigued and surprised looks from the guests and staff alike in the atrium. "Stella, wait!"
She didn't turn around, but he could tell she'd heard him, well, everyone in the lobby had heard him, but if that wasn't evidence enough to show that his calls across the foyer had reached her, the fact that she began angrily slamming her hand against the elevator call button certainly was. Jensen hurried across the shiny tiled surface, the heels of his dress shoes clicking as he went, expertly side stepping a couple who were walking through with cases, cursing as he saw Stella stepping into the elevator. He continued running, but just as he skidded to a halt he caught a glimpse of her angry tear stained face as the doors shut.
"Fuck!" He shouted, banging his hand on the wall just above the call panel. Spinning, he almost collided with a young couple who were looking at him, and the man shot him a filthy glare as he pushed between them, running to the stairs. He took them two, sometimes three at a time as he raced to the fourth floor in an attempt to catch her, and he burst into the corridor in time to see her stalking to her room.
He paused to take a breath, relief flooding his system at the fact he'd manage to catch her before she got to her room, before he realised he still had to stop her.
“Stel!” His shout was a desperate plea, and she spun to face him, her face surprised clearly at how he'd managed to get there so quick, and whilst she was still he took his chance. “Look, I’m sorry I made you upset but-“
With that she gave an angry growl almost as she turned around and carried on, the heel of her shoe catching a little as she did, causing her to stumble and Jensen felt his anger boiling over, this was fucking ridiculous, and here he was shouting down a hotel corridor, to her fucking back.
"For fucks sake, Estella, will you a stop being a bitch and just listen to me?"
At that she stopped dead and wheeled round, sheer venomous disdain etched across her face. "I am SICK of listening to you Jacob." She spat his full name back at him, in response to him using hers. "It’s always the fucking same. You know if anything I should have listened to you years ago when you dumped me and stayed the fuck away from you and your stupid-"
"You just slapped me, Stella!" Jensen exclaimed "In front of everyone in the fucking room! The least you can do is hear me out, I deserve that surely?"
"You don’t deserve shit." She snorted. "Now take a hint and leave me the fuck alone!"
"What, like your boyfriend?"
The words flew out of Jensen's mouth before he had even registered them, and from the look on Stella’s face she was as shocked as he was that he'd gone there. She took a deep breath, looked at the floor before she raised her head and stared at him, fresh tears in her eyes and Jensen sighed in frustration at himself.
"You know, just when I think you can’t go any lower." Her voice was soft and sad now, and Jensen stayed silent as he knew that had been a low blow. She took another shaky breath, shaking her head. "I’ve never come so close to hating you as I have right now. You are an asshole."
"Stell, look, I’m sorry. I shouldn't have said that..."
"Go to hell." She stated, her voice flat as she turned and carried on walking towards her room.
"Cougar told me what Evan said." Jensen blurted out, more words he hadn't planned on saying, and once more she stopped dead.
"Fucking-"
"Did you say it back?"
There was no answer.
"You didn't, did you?" Jensen continued to press as she started walking towards her again. "That's why he isn't here, aint it? Because you couldn't say it, and you fell out, and-"
"You tell me," she stopped at the door to her room, foraging in her purse for her key, "I mean, clearly you have all the answers and know everything about how I feel and-"
"Damnit Stella, just-"
"You know what?" She spun to face him as he stopped besides her. "Evan might not be perfect but he’s never dumped me for no fucking reason, then used me as and when he wanted. But, I suppose that’s on me because I was never strong enough to tell you to fuck off and now that I am, you don’t like it." She raised her hand and jabbed him in the chest. "You don’t like the fact I’m not there when you want to fuck something because I’ve got someone else in my life-" another jab "-someone who… who loves me and I-."
"And you what Stel?" Jensen interrupted her rant with a snort and she fell silent, her eyes flashing. "See you can’t even say it, can you?"
Stella glared at him, a look that would make anyone else quiver in their shoes but not him, not now. He was too far gone trying to make his point, trying to make her see his point, to care how angry he was making her.
“Just admit it Stella," he arched his eyebrow, stepping forward. He planted one hand by her head, palm flat on the surface of the door as he leaned closer to her, his voice level and even as he stated, “you don’t love him, you never will.”
“Fuck you.” Stella stumbled over her words a little, before her hands planted on his chest and she shoved him. Jake stepped back, slightly off balance more to the alcohol in his system than the force of her push, but he steadied himself, moving forwards again. She made to shove him once more but this time he was ready, and his hands caught her wrists, fingers curling round them as her room key fell to the floor.
“Fuck me yourself.” He shot. At that she shook her head and scoffed. “What’s the matter, Stel?” Jake’s voice dropped a little as his grip around her wrists tightened, and he pressed her further into the door, his head dropping, face inches from hers. “Scared you might like it, still?”
“Asshole.” Her voice was nothing more than a whisper and she pulled her arms violently to the side, Jake letting go. Once more she pushed him, this time he stepped away so she could bend and retrieve her room key from the floor, which took her a few attempts, her hand and eye coordination impaired from the drink. Eventually, she grabbed it and stood, a little unsteadily, turning her back to him.
As she slid the card into the slot, Jake was once more in her space behind her, his hands softly on her waist and he leaned towards her, his breath hot on her ear.
“Don’t be a chicken, Stel.” His voice was gravelly and he braced, waiting for another blow, but it never came. She swallowed a little, her chest heaving, and she made no attempt to stop his advances. She'd let go of what she had to say, and now she was physically proving him right in his assumptions and her denials
Emboldened by this, Jensen placed a soft kiss to her neck as she pushed the door to her room open, causing her breath to catch in her throat. She turned to him, her eyes locking into his and Jensen could see the conflict behind them. There was a war going on between her head and her heart and, had he been sober, Jensen probably would have walked away, knowing what he was doing was pretty shitty and unfair. But he wasn’t sober. He was drunk, and not just on alcohol but sheer desire for the woman stood in front of him. His Stelly. The girl he still loved.
As her large, clear blue eyes bounced across each of his whilst she grappled with her internal turmoil, Jake stood stock still waiting for her to make her move. He took a deep breath, expecting her to shove him away for that final time, and he would have taken it then, having already proven his point to both her and him, but then he saw it, that familiar darkening of her eyes.
The spark Stell still carried for him, that small flicker of a flame that for so long had been starved of oxygen, suddenly exploded and she reached out, grabbing his loose tie, bringing his lips crashing down to hers. Jake surged forward, pushing her backwards as he continued to kiss her, kicking the door to her room shut with his foot before he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close,  pouring every single bit of emotion and frustration he’d felt over the past few months into the kiss.
It was urgent, it was desperate, and the pair of them stumbled around the hotel room, Stella pushing his jacket off and tossing it to the floor somewhere before she yanked off his tie, her fingers moving to undo his shirt. Jake's hands fumbled with the floaty tulle skirt of her dress as he pulled it up around her waist, trailing hot kisses down the side of her neck whilst Stella pushed his shirt down his arms where he shrugged it off. Her hands planted on his chest as she smoothed her delicate palms over the solid planes of muscle, sliding them down over his defined abs and he gave a soft hiss as he felt her nimble fingers undoing the buckle of his belt. In a quick move that made her squeak slightly, he reached down and grabbed her ass, hauling her off the floor, her legs wrapping around his waist as he backed her up against the large sliding doors which led out to the balcony. His lips pressed back to hers whilst her back hit the thick glass a little harder than he had intended, drawing a soft grunt from her mouth as it rattled in the frame.
“Ow.” she mumbled against his mouth, grabbing a fist full of his hair and tugging harshly so he looked at her. He gave an apologetic grin she looked at him for a moment before her hands moved and plucked off his glasses, in a movement that really shouldn’t be hot but for some reason it always was. He took them from her, depositing them in his pocket as his lips gently latched onto her neck, sucking at the pulse point. A barely there whimper sounded in his ear as he nipped at her skin and his attention moved downwards, hot, open mouthed kisses traced down her sternum which was exposed between the deep V neckline of her dress. A low moan left her mouth and her hips pushed down against the bulge in his trousers and he pressed into her, giving her the friction she was asking for. Her hands skimmed down his spine, her fingers making his skin burn and prickle as they danced over his back, coming to rest on his broad shoulders , digging into his muscles as Jake pushed his hips up again, grinding against her.
Neither of them were thinking straight, it was way past that point. This was a pure, carnal desire between two, once-upon-a-time long term lovers, both desperate to scratch that deep itch that they still had for one another. But still Jake paused, pulling back so he could take a moment to look at her. She was slightly dishevelled, strands of her hair had fallen loose from her up-do, framing her heart shaped face. Her cheeks were flushed, lips swollen from his kisses, but it was her eyes which caught him. He'd always loved her eyes and now they were staring at him with a wild, lust filled look that he knew so well. He swallowed a little, before she moved her hands to his cheeks, pulling his face back to hers. Jake moaned into this kiss and his hands moved round her back, her feet landed on the floor as her back slipped slightly against the smooth surface she had been pressed against. Their mouths remained open, pressed together, sharing air as Jensen slid the zipper of her dress down, causing it to gape a little at the front and he reached up, thumbs gently running on the underside of the straps before he slid them down her arms, placing a soft kiss to each of her shoulders in turn. As he pushed the soft, blue chiffon of her dress down to her waist he couldn’t help the carnal growl that rumbled in his throat as he saw she wasn't wearing a bra.
"Fuck, Stel. You're beautiful. You’ve always been beautiful." He muttered, his lips back on hers as his hands cradled her face. She stepped out of her dress, his hands moving down to grip her hips, fingers curling over the softness of her flesh as he pushed her back against the cold surface of the window. His lips claimed hers again before he moved his mouth, nibbling his way down the column of her throat, tongue dipping into the hollow at the base of her neck, teeth grazing her collar bone as he mapped his way down her body in a way he had done so many times before.
Stella felt Jensen's hands sliding down her bare thighs as he sunk to the floor and her brain had barely registered the fact he was on his knees, when he hooked one leg over his shoulder, shifting her soaked panties to one side. At the first touch his mouth made to her inner thigh she sighed in pleasure, the raw scratch of his short beard a contrast to the warm, softness of his mouth as he moved upwards before he finally gave one long lick over her sex, dipping his tongue into her a little, causing her to cry out in pleasure, one hand falling to his head, the other palm slapping against the glass surface behind her. He repeated his action, his tongue flicking up through her sensitive outer lips and this time he sucked on her clit, causing her back to arch, her had dropping back in sheer pleasure as her shoulders pressed further onto the glass in an attempt to keep herself up-right, all the time writhing at his actions.
His tongue and lips worked in tandem, un-doing her lap by lap, all the time she was vaguely aware of the fact she was begging him not to stop, her words punctuated by gasps and pants, manicured nails digging into his scalp as her hand curled over his head, fingers tangling into his short hair. It wasn’t long before Stella felt that familiar tightening across her stomach and her leg trembled slightly as she fought to keep herself upright.
“Fuck, JJ,” she stuttered, as he let out a groan, the vibration so pleasurable it was almost painful as his tongue dipped in and out of her entrance, continuing to fuck her the way he had always been able to do. The burning in her stomach suddenly took over her entire body and she gave a loud cry as she came, her head falling forward before it rolled back again against the window with a hard thud as the world around her went silent. She grasped Jensen’s shoulder as her leg gave way and he quickly stood up, catching her easily, a grin on his face as she opened her eyes and looked at him, her pupils blown with lust, her thighs once more locked round his waist. He kissed her again, the kiss absolutely filthy as he stepped back and turned them, crossing the room where he dropped her gently onto the bed.
She knelt up on the soft mattress, her now almost completely loose hair falling over her face as she hooked her fingers into the belt loops of his dress slacks and pulled him to her. In one smooth, fluid movement of her hands she’d undone his flies before she slid his pants and boxers down in one swoop. She dropped her head and took him in her mouth without so much as a warning, her eyes locked onto his.
“Shit, Stel” he mumbled, his hands tangling into her hair, guiding her softly as she moved, her head bobbing back and forth before she pulled away to lick along the base of his shaft, tracing the vein in the underneath, and Jensen knew then if she carried on he was going to blow his load before he’d even gotten to the main event.
“Get up here.” His voice was low as he cupped her face and guided her back up, kissing her again. With a gentle shove, Jensen pushed her back on the bed, stepping out of his remaining clothes before he crawled over her, sliding her lace underwear down her long, smooth legs. He didn’t give her a chance to say anything before he gave her ankles a soft tug, pulling her down further on the bed, crawling between her thighs, his mouth tracing its way up from her belly to her breasts which were heaving, nipples pebbled in excitement. Knowing exactly what would leave her nothing short of a wreck underneath him, he turned his attention to her right breast, lapping and sucking, grazing with his teeth whilst his hand palmed at her left. She let out a soft, breathy moan, which was music to Jensen's ears as his mouth and hand traded places. He worked her over, till she was begging to feel him where she needed him, her knees clenching around his slim waist, desperate for something to help the burning that was between her legs. He shifted his position a little, propping himself up so he could kiss her deeply again, hands on either side of her face as he buried himself inside of her, with a loud groan.
“God you feel so good, Stel.” His mouth moved over her jaw to her ear as he praised her, nipping at the lobe. At his words Stella gave a loud groan as he thrust up into her again, deeply, burying himself to the hilt before he rotated his hips in a dirty grind, a move he knew drove her wild. She cried out, clawing at his back and he groaned as she tipped her hips up to meet his.
"You know,” another thrust, "he’ll never be able,” another thrust, “to fuck you the way I can," he rotated his hips for another grind which caused her once more to cry out, nails biting at his back as he drove a little deeper, "because he doesn’t know you like I do."
To prove his point, one hand moved and gently wrapped round the front of her throat, giving the gentlest of squeezes but he knew that would send her feral. It was something he had discovered a long time ago, being so in control the rest of the time, Stella loved when he would take over like this, dominate her a touch and whisper cheeky, dirty little things into ear. It had always driven her crazy and tonight was no exception. He’d succeeded in throwing fuel onto the fire that was already raging, and a sharp, strangled wail of his name stuttered from her lips as he felt her fluttering around him.
"You were made for me, Baby Girl." Jensen’s own voice was a low growl as his hips picked up their pace, Stella's head falling back onto the pillows as Jake's mouth claimed hers again, the kiss sloppy and desperate matching the rhythm of his thrusts.
Because he was. He was desperate for this woman. Desperate like he’d never been desperate before.
“Jakey.” She keened underneath him, hands still clawing the muscles of his back which were flexing under her touch, equally as needy for him as he was her. He reached down to hook a leg over his shoulder causing her to mewl loudly at the change of angle and depth as he continued to drive into her like his life depended on it. He bent over, mouth swallowing another loud moan as he did, feeling her sweat soaked skin slick against his.
“Fuck, baby I’m close,” he stuttered, his hips snapping back and forth, “see what you do to me?”
Her beautiful eyes were wide, her mouth pressed to his as she let out a broken lament as her walls fluttered around him again, causing him to almost purr in delight as she did. She was close, so fucking close. And it felt good. As his cock dragged in and out of her, the feel of him sliding up against her spot had her worked into a complete frenzy, and she was teetering right on that edge.
“Don’t stop,” she panted, her head falling back further onto the pillow as she grasped his arms whilst he continued to fuck her into the mattress. And then, her stomach tightened and she felt the rush of pleasure that she knew was the end, beginning to wash over her. "Oh, God, Jake...I'm..."
"Come on, Stel." Jake growled, his hips still pumping in and out of her "Cum for me, Baby, just like you always do."
At his words, she gave a low, sultry whimper and her eyes fluttered shut, nails digging into his biceps as she shuddered underneath him, her back arching as her walls clamped down on him, milking his cock and that was it. He was done for, just like he always was when it came to this woman.
“Shit, Stel," he groaned as he felt his abs tighten as he came with a force he hadn't felt in a long time. His hips faltered as he cried out, shooting his load straight into her, before after one final, deep thrust he collapsed on top of her, his face buried into her neck.
The room was silent bar the sounds of their deep, heavy breathing as they both came down, fighting for control. Jake felt her hands gently move round to tangle in his hair, nails scratching his scalp and he raised his head, eyes still closed, enjoying her touch.
“Jake,” she finally whispered, still slightly out of breath but he didn't miss the tremble in her voice and he raised his head, opening his eyes to see her looking back at him. Her cheeks were flushed, hair all over the place and fuck, he’d never see anything so damned beautiful in his life as her undone underneath him. But her eyes, they were misting over with tears and he swallowed, shaking his head.
"Stel… " he began, and she turned her head away from his, screwing her eyes shut as her face crumpled.
"Fuck, what did we just do?" She whispered, opening her eyes and she looked at the wall to her right for a moment before Jensen tipped her face back round to him.
"Don't." He shook his head, pressing a kiss to the bridge of her nose. "Don't do this, not now." He pressed their foreheads together, his nose bumping hers and she gave a quiet sniff as he pressed his lips to hers softly.
“Do you want me to go?” He didn’t really want to ask the question, for fear of her answer but she shook her head, her eyes a little lost as she looked at him.
“No, I don’t. And that’s the problem.” She whispered.
He wanted to try and assure her that it was all okay and that they hadn’t done anything wrong but his words died in his throat, because he knew technically they had. Whatever was going on with her and Agent Shitname, she was still with him, meaning she’d cheated and he knew that would be cutting her up inside.
And now Jensen felt like shit for putting her in that position.
He gently pecked her lips again and with a soft movement he pulled out from her and lay on his back, his hand rubbing his chest. After a little pause he felt Stella turn into him and her head lay on his chest, his arm curling round her shoulder as she sniffed a little, turning her face into his sternum.
“It’s gonna be okay, Stelly.” He pressed a kiss to her head.
It was lame, but it was all he could thing to say. He wasn’t surprised when she didn’t reply, and there wasn’t another word spoken between the two of them before they both fell into a deep, exhausted sleep.
****
Stella woke the next morning, her bare back pressed into a hard, muscled chest and didn't even need to turn round to know whose arm was thrown round her waist. As the memories of what had happened the night before flooded her brain she squeezed her eyes closed, taking a deep, shuddering breath, fighting the urge to snuggle further back into the arms of the man she knew so well. Instead, she gently untangled herself from Jensen and without a glance back headed quietly into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She glanced in the mirror and grimaced as she saw the previous day’s make up was streaked all over her face. Grabbing her cleanser from her toiletries bag she wiped it away, tossing the cotton pads into the trash before she turned on the shower and stepped into the stream. She stood there for a while, her face titled to meet the water as it beat down on her, washing away the silent tears that were pouring down her cheeks.
Ten minutes or so later she stepped out, almost working on auto pilot and dried herself off, before grabbing one of the hotel provided towel robes. Once wrapped in it, she squeezed the water out of her hair, dragged a brush through it and then opened the door.
Just as expected, Jensen was still flat out in the bed, although he'd now turned onto his back. It had always been a joke between the two of them that he could sleep through a damned earthquake after a heavy drinking session, yet never failed to hear his alarm. Stella took a moment to study his face, a face she knew by heart, every freckle and line, the curve of his nose and angle of his jaw. Biting her lip, she moved towards the back of the room, made herself a coffee as quietly as she could before she retrieved her phone from her purse that had been tossed down carelessly the night before and headed out onto the balcony, closing the doors behind her.
She sank into one of the chairs, tucking her legs under her and glanced at the screen. There wasn't much battery left but she had a couple of missed calls. One from Clay and another form Cougar, both probably wondering where she had bailed to, and one from Evan. She swallowed as she also spotted she had a message from him too.
Ev- Hey, Pumpkin. Look, I'm so sorry about how things went down the other night. I overreacted, and that's on me. I really hope you're having a good time. Please call me when you can, and we can talk when you're home xx
Stella felt the guilt twist in her gut even more and she gave a sigh, tossing her phone onto the table.
"He’ll never be able to fuck you the way I can, because he doesn’t know you like I do."
Jakes voice rattled around her head and she took a dep breath, looking over the balcony down at the pool area below. Try as she might, she couldn't even deny he was right. The sex with Evan wasn't bad, in fact she would go as far as saying it was pretty damned good, likely to be earth shattering to most women. But, to her, there had always been something that held her back.
And now she was forced to admit head on what she'd been trying to deny for months. It was because he wasn't Jake.
Jake Jensen had worked her way into his heart from the day they had met when they were merely eleven years old, and try as she might she couldn't shake him. That year they had been apart, she'd tried so hard, and had been sure she'd managed, and then she'd seen him and they'd fucked, and fallen back into that awful cycle of being together but not being together.
She couldn't stay with Evan. She'd known that even before last night had happened but the fact she'd basically opened her legs so easily for Jensen went to prove that she didn't love Evan, and she wasn't sure she ever would.
She took a shuddering breath and then her attention jerked upwards as Jake opened the balcony door, his hair mussed, top half bare as he rubbed his eyes, his glasses in his hand.
"Hey." he offered, almost shyly and Stella gave him a nod.
"Hi."
There was an awkward silence as he sat down on the chair opposite her, slipping his glasses onto his nose. He watched as she avoided his gaze, glancing over the balcony, occasionally looking at her hands which were worrying one another. Eventually, he could stand it no more and he reached over to take her hands in his.
"Stel, look, last night..."
"Last night was a mistake." She spoke, her eyes locking onto his. Jensen felt his gut churn, her words an icy blade digging into his heart.
"So, you’re just gonna pretend like it didn't happen and go back to that prick?" Jensen looked at her, his voice measured and Stella shook her head.
"No, I can't do that. Not now. Me and Evan are over, I'm gonna tell him when we get back. I don't love him, you're right. Because if I did I would never have given in and slept with you." She licked her lips.
Jake swallowed and looked down at his hands which were clasped around hers before he raised his head to stare her straight in the eye. "I'm sorry." he said eventually. "I'm sorry if you felt like, well, like I pushed you..."
"No, that's not what I'm saying." She squeezed his fingers. "I just, me and you, we can't keep doing this. We go round and round in circles and…" She took a shuddering breath as she trailed off, unable to articulate what she was trying to say.
"No, I get it." Jake gave her a small smile. He let go of her hands and stood up. "I should probably erm, go,” he gestured to the door, “I need to shower before breakfast and the taxi to the airport arrives."
"Okay." She nodded.
She watched him open the door to head inside, before he paused and turned to face her.
"I know you said what happened last night was a mistake, but I just want you to know that I wouldn’t change it for the world."
With that he gave her a final smile and headed back into the hotel room. Stella could see him through the glass doors as he hastily dressed, before without so much as another word he left, and as she heard the door to her room close, the tears once more began to fall.

A/N: this was so fun to write but it is annoyingly slow </3 also in this bakugou is rich as fuck and for wHAT. he’s loaded as crap
i might make a part 2 but i’m not sure yet considering this was rlly tiring,, would y’all like that or would it be a waste? :/
HERE IT ISSSS @babymilkawa​ 
you groaned as your alarm went off way too early, the sun that shone through your curtains getting into your eyes. you rubbed at your eyes, trying to shake off the sleep that dazed your mind.
the weekend went by too fast, and you wished you could sleep for just another five minutes. you struggled to keep your eyes open, the comfort of your bed willing you to sleep. to skip work for the day.
 you were totally exhausted, having spent the weekend helping your co-worker, eijirou, unpack boxes at his apartment, on top of working on your classes. i mean, you loved to help people, but man, was it tiring.
after a few minutes of checking things on your phone, you sleepily walked to your bathroom and ran water over your face, hoping it’d help you wake up. you loved your job, you really did, but the hours? absolute hell. who the crap goes to a book shop at 7 in the morning? no clue.
you pulled one of your friend’s old sweatshirts over your head, taking a moment to fix your bedhead as well. you slipped on some sweatpants, and shrugged at yourself in your full-length mirror. you felt like crap, your entire body heavy and your blinks slow. it’s like your body was trying to put itself to sleep, even while standing.  
once you were happy with your appearance for the day, you texted eijirou to let him know you were ready. he usually picked you up drove you both to work, since you had the same shifts.
a few minutes later he knocked on your apartment door, and when you swung it open, he had his signature wide grin on his face. he was holding two coffees, and you couldn’t help but smile as well, your bad mood from lack of sleep disappearing. 
“hey eiji,” you smiled, taking one of the coffees from his hands and holding it close to your face, taking a deep breath of the homey scent. the smell made your stomach growl, and you both laughed at the sound.  
“hungry, eh? well, i mean i have a granola bar,” kirishima shuffled around in his bag, eventually pulling out two granola bars.
“of course you do,” you smiled, happily chomping the snack. he was the definition of the mom friend, and such a sweetheart.
after you talked with him for a few minutes, you both walked to his car and drove to the shop that was a mile or two away. 
you looked out of the window while he drove, and you both were sitting pretty much silently. you appreciated how you could just chill and appreciate each other’s company without communicating a bunch.
when you got there, there was a blonde guy standing in front of the doors.
“hey, bakubro, what’re you doing here?” kirishima and you walked up to him. when he turned to face you, you were confused as to why he looked so pissed off. he looked like he didn’t know how to smile.
“tch, i was going to look for a shitty book to buy, but no one was fucking here,”
“you know that we open at 7:15 right?” you smiled, 
“and it’s 7:16 right now, dumbass,” ‘bakubro’ glared at you, “you’re late,”
“by a min-” you started saying, but were interrupted by kirishima.
“you’re right, well you can come look inside now,” he took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the front door with it, stepping inside of the shop with you and the blonde following.
you took your place behind the counter as kirishima tidied up the shop. he straightened the books and fixed anything that was out of place, while you just stood behind the counter and watched the blonde.
it was like he was entrancing, his spiky blonde hair and his piercing red eyes glaring at the books in front of him.
“sir, do you need help finding what you’re looking for?” you smiled at him when you noticed he was in the shop for nearly half an hour already, staring at the lines and lines of books.
“tch no, i can find it myself,” he grumbled, not even looking your way.
you rolled your eyes and turned to eijirou when you overheard him chuckle. he was standing near gardening books section, flipping through one of the books.
“what is it?” you raised an eyebrow, tapping a made-up rhythm lightly in the wooden counter you were standing behind.
“bakugou, isn’t this the kind of cactus you tried to raise,” he turned the book towards the blonde.
“shut up, shitty hair. quit bringing that up,”
eijirou just smiled and shook his head, turning back towards the shelf and sliding it back to its place. 
you yawned, boredom filling the air as bakugou looked through the books and kirishima tended to the shelves.
you wished someone would come in soon, maybe one of your regulars or someone new. you weren’t a fan of there only being one customer in the store in the first place, but him being a bitch wasn’t much of a help either.
“have you seen that really nice green haired regular recently? i feel like he hasn’t came by in a while,” you yelled to kirishima.
“uhh, haha, no, i heard he um... moved?”
“moved?”
“yup,”
“why does it matter what happened to him, deku is a nerd anyways,” bakugou growled as he flipped through one of the many books he had in his arms.
you shrugged in his direction and walked to the back, hoping there’d be something to do that was helpful for the store. you felt like you were wasting time, but didn’t know what you should do. there were no customers, no spills, nothing out of order.
you decided to fix some of the directions, and chose to start on the paintings and vines that covered the wall. the store really was homey, you loved it. you could spend all day there, either as a customer or a worker.
it felt safe and sound, unlike most of the city that surrounded you. 
“hey, dingbat, come here,” bakugou was now standing next to the register, and you glared at him, the heaviness of anger starting to gather in your chest.
dingbat? the fuck???
“be nice to y/n, they’re chill,” kirishima swatted at the air, shaking his head.
“nope, anyways, i need to check out, so fucking come here,” 
“no, sir, you can choose to be nice and then talk to me,” you smiled at him and turned back to the decorations you were working on. sure you were a worker, but you weren’t going to help out a shithead.
“it’s your fucking job, come here,”
“y/n, i’m sorry, but do you mind checking him out? he’s got class soon,” kirishima smiled at you weakly, his stare basically a plead on its own.
you huffed and walked to the register, silently glaring as you handed bakugou the receipt and the two books he bought.
“took you long enough, damn,” 
“what is your damn problem?” you scowled, “i haven’t done shit to you and you’re being an asshole,”
“y/n, don’t-” kirishima held his hand out.
“quit being in the fucking way then, see you later, kirishima,” he grabbed the stuff from your hands and walked out of the store onto the sidewalk, the door slamming behind him.
your decorations that you were putting up fell down, and you sighed. you took a step back and pouted when you realized you’d have to start over.
“i’m sorry, y/n, i know he is really stres-”
“he doesn’t need your excuses, it’s fine, eiji,” you smiled and nodded at him. 
the rest of the day was spent with both of you cracking jokes at each other and tending to the customers. every now and then you’d rate their outfits once they left, and it was sort of entertaining to say the least. it was fun to see the little additions people would add to their outfits, not meant for others to specifically notice. like a chain on their pants, or a feather on their hat. 
all other people had entire backstories, ones you would never get the pleasure of knowing. this didn’t usually bother you, and it never really has before, but you couldn’t deny the curiosity that seemed to tear at you about bakugou’s.
his couldn’t seem to leave your mind. what was his childhood like? was he always like this? what set the way for his personality? what were his parents like? was he single..?
“i wonder if he’s single,” you muttered to yourself as you swept. your actions stopped for a moment, and you wanted to throw up. did you actually just say that out loud?
“what was that, y/n?” kirishima looked up from his phone, a confused smile on his face. you hoped he didn’t hear you. although he did
“oh nothing, sorry!” you smiled back at him, and went back to sweeping. you turned away from him, hoping the heat that covered your cheeks wasn’t visible.
“alright,” 
the rest of your day went by quickly, and by the time you got home, you were exhausted. you snuggled with one of your fluffiest pillows on your couch once you’d changed into your pjs, and you smiled. the smooth fabric of your couch felt calming to your sore joints, and it only added to your comfort. 
before you knew it, you had fell asleep, but a knock on your door shook you from your slumber.
“hey, y/n, do you mind if i come in real quick?” you heard the familiar voice of your coworker from outside of your door, and you yelled a sleepy ‘go ahead’ before closing your eyes again. 
you slowly opened your eyes when you heard a second pair of footsteps enter your apartment, and you were confused to see the blonde from earlier standing in your doorway.
“are you alright? it’s only six o’clock, and you were asleep?” eijirou walked over to you and sat next to you on your couch for a moment.
“yeah, sorry, i was just... just um sleepy,” you sat up and leaned into one of the arms of your couch for support, rubbing your eyes. you turned back towards the figure in your doorway, “what’s he doing here?”
“am i not allowed to tag along with my fucking friend?” bakugou growled, but neither one of you acknowledged him. 
“sorry, was just coming to get some sugar! i ran out, and we are gonna be making cookies! see ya later, y/n!” 
you waved as they both left your apartment, and easily went back to sleep. your dreams were nothing but blackness, and none were memorable when you woke up a few hours later.
over the next few weeks, you began to see bakugou more and more. he would come by the show every morning, dropping by to say hello to kirishima before he’d walk out of the door. you weren’t exactly sure why he’d come by every. single. day., sometimes he didn’t even buy something, only caring to say hi to eijirou.
you’d love to say that he went to see you, but you really doubted that was the case. i mean, he rarely ever said hello back whenever you’d greet him back, so it was implied he only cared for seeing kiri.
no matter what he’d say to you or rather what he didn’t say, he still occupied your mind constantly. you wondered about him a lot, not in a creepy way. you just really found him interesting... okay?????
after around three weeks after your first encounter with him, he greeted you back for the first time. 
“oh, hey, y/n, right?” he turned to you with a blank face, not very common since he seemed to always be scowling at whoever he was speaking with.
“yep, what do you want?” you nodded towards where bakugou was standing near you next to the baking books, and kirishima raised an eyebrow. 
“are you any good at cooking? i need to make cupcakes but kirishima here makes shit ones,” 
kirishima chuckled, “he isn’t wrong, go ahead, y/n,”
“um, yeah i like to bake, when are you free?” you tried to hide the blush that covered your face.
“a bit obsessed with me, are ya?” he smirked as you began shouting.
“huh?? am not, you’re the one who-”
“oi shut it, dingbat, i’ll come pick you up from this shit job how’s that work?”
kirishima just stood where he had been, staring at you both with wide eyes. he’d never seen bakugou offer to pick anyone up whatsoever before. especially not to spend time with them.
once he left, it was like time chose to go by slower than ever. you checked the clock that hung above the doorway ever so often, and would quietly groan at how much longer it’d be until you got to make those damned cupcakes.
you decided to keep yourself busy with cleaning up in the back of the store, restocking the shelves and tidying up the stacked up books that sat collecting dust.
“y/n,” kirishima called for you, his voice somewhat muffled by the shut door that separated you both.
you walked to him, and smiled at the man who was standing in the doorway. 
“quit staring and c’mon, we don’t have much time, dumbass,” he frowned and beckoned for you to come over, you hurried to grab your purse. 
“aren’t we driving kirishima too.?” you cocked your head when he began to take off out of the shop. he paused and rolled his eyes, shaking his head and continuing to walk across the street once more.
the drive to his apartment was filled with you talking about whatever and him finding various ways to insult it, although his gaze wasn’t filled with the same amount of sharpness as usual.
you decided not to say anything about it, not wanting it to cease. you were honestly enjoying yourself, even though he was being sort of a dick. it wasn’t exactly unlike him to be one, though.
after around ten minutes of the conversation flowing like water, he parked in front of a bougie looking tall apartment complex. just from looking outside, you could see the wall-length windows and the impressive chandeliers that hung inside the building. you felt small, your apartment certainly not comparable to this. 
he scoffed when he saw your wowed expression, and silently took your hand. this would’ve been romantic if he wasn’t using it to drag you inside. the pace he was leading you both at left you panting by the time you got to his door, and your arm was sore from how harshly he was pulling and swerving you around the hallways. 
when you took your first step into his apartment, your entire body began to feel light. his apartment didn’t match his firey personality whatsoever, and it was absolutely stunning. astonishing countertops and a double oven added to his impressively sized kitchen. sparkling crystal animals covered one of the shelves nearby the tv. just by looking at the entry way, you loved his apartment.
his apartment was flawless, and it didn’t even seem like an apartment. it had a generous amount of space, and you wondered how he could afford this as a college student. you decided to let the curiosity drop, it’d be rude to ask about his wealth anyways..
“y/n, quit staring at my shit and hurry the fuck over here,” bakugou grumbled, stirring you from your thoughts.
you nodded and walked over to him, smiling at the ingredients that littered his kitchen island. these were gonna be some good cupcakes.
“what fla-”
“funfetti, duh,” 
you chuckled, and examined the extra sprinkles that he had bought. they looked amazing. and expensive.
you both chatted as you started the cupcakes, since he was bossy and so were you, you decided that it’d be better to do separate jobs. he was in charge of making the cupcakes while you were “doing the shitty icing, better not fuck it up” in bakugou’s words.
you worked on the icing and tried to hold back your giggles at bakugou’s cursing when he realized he forgot to add the sugar.
“god fucking damnit now i have to redo these fucking cupcakes,” he groaned, pulling the now scrapped cupcake tray out of the oven with absolutely no care, shooting you a frown when you commented on how he was gonna burn himself if he kept being that reckless.
“shoulda paid attention,” you stuck your tongue out, a wide smile brightening up your face.
“fucking shut it, dingbat,”
“WHY WON’T YOU STOP CALLING ME DINGBAT,” you shouted, although still being careful to stir the icing at the correct pace. you weren’t about to mess up an easy job, hell no!
after a few hours of you both baking in harmony, you flopped down on his leather couch, resting one of your arms over your forehead as you stared up at the ceiling. 
“i have a baking night every week with kiri, if you wanna come,” bakugou came up next to you and muttered, and you weren’t sure if he even wanted you to. i mean, you barely could hear him. 
he handed you a rag to wipe your hands on, and sat down next to you.
“can i?” you widely smiled at him, hoping he still wanted you to. 
“why the fuck would i tell you about it if not,” he scoffed, and you giggled.
you shrugged, and around half an hour later he drove you home for the night. 
you had a tupperware of cupcakes resting on the counter next to your fridge when you went to bed that night, although the memories that came with them were seated next to your mind. the small chuckles you would manage to pull from him replaying in your mind as you stared happily at your ceiling. 
you sure were looking forward to the next weekend.

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐒 ⇉ skz with pregnant!reader 
changbin x reader | part three of dad!skz
↬ genre; fluff & angst for a lil bit woo
↬ warnings; talk of perinatal depression, cursing, n labor 
↬ notes; changbin babi 🥺  ALSO ITS CHANGBIN DAY WOOO ITS MY BABYS BDAYYYYY SO I HAD TO POST THIS |
Tumblr media Tumblr media
u two had just freshly started an official, public relationship
ofc changbin was freaking out while he was chilling in the bathtub behind the curtain so u could pee on the test already
u two were looking at the line coming in, praying that there would be only o n e 😳
slowly the other line comes in, dark blue n clear alongside the other one
“holy fuck—“
“what do we do?” you asked, your voice wavering while setting the test back down
his hands cupped your face, giving u a soft kiss n hugging you
“we got this, we’re having a baby, baby!” he started to joke and yall burst out laughing while crying in the bathroom
the first few months were amazing
ur lil bump sprouted out n u two were so happy about it
changbin is just so attentive and excited about this pregnancy and his first born
u really couldn’t have been better with ur lil family that was starting to become realer with each day
u two r such bullies yall r like
“what happened? ur a softie now binnie!!”
n he’d say shit like, “well at least i don’t pee every hour on the clock!!”
he makes u cry one time n u use that against him everytime u want something bc he feels guilty >:)
cute lil things like asking the baby what they want to eat or talking to it before the bed
(changbin reads the baby goodnight moon one time and ur just so in love like wow 🥺)
he secretly talks to the baby when you sleep every night because hes waiting for when ur little bean will reply back with a kick or a hand
he is W H I P P E D for u n ur baby bump
nursery is already done at five months
he needs all of the boys to come over though to help him figure out the instructions 😳 these are co nfusi ngg
they notice how smiley n giggly he is when he talks about u two and looking at the finished crib hes just so proud
yall r so happy and content with ur baby that was an accident, but u guys are so happy this happened
but something changes within u
changbin notices your lack of interest in the pregnancy during ur sixth month
ur sleeping pattern was off n u would sleep for hours during the day and night
u were very irritable, not wanting changbin to cuddle with u or kiss u like he did everytime he came back from practice :(
u were always unhappy and always so moody, he just wanted u to be happy 🥺
he is so confused and worried ab u, some days ur not eating or some days u don’t even wake up in the mornings like u used to
sometimes— just sometimes he’d come back home to find u in the same spot, asleep
he’s so fucking scared when ur around seven months that he can’t hold it in anymore
“are—are you okay?” he questions u from the doorway, making u stop to look at him in the mirror
ur eyes were cold, setting down the towel u were drying ur hair with and leaving him by himself while heading into ur bedroom
“don’t you dare fucking walk away from me.”
ur s h oo k
he was really nice during the pregnancy everyday, super bubbly and kind so u were shocked to hear his upset tone
“i can and i will, i’ll just go sleep in another fuckin room.” u mumbled, changbin grabbing ur hands and turning u around to face him
u struggle for a bit while ur arguing with him and telling him to let go so u could go to sleep
“stop! i am your boyfriend, i am the only one who is going to care for you like this. i am the only one who is dying, seeing you like this. do you understand? we’ve been through seven months of this together, it was fine for awhile and now you’re fucking turning me away?”
hes shouting at this point, hes just so pissed after three months of not having answers and your attitudes and arguments, he cannot handle it
u start crying
hes quick to hold you, pulling u down to the bed so u don’t have to stand on ur tired feet anymore
“i don’t know what’s wrong with me.” 🥺🥺🥺
he insists u two will find out n u both will get thru this rough patch together
perinatal depression, they diagnosed u
changbin is so upset when he hears the doctors tell u
everything is making sense to him and he’s just so heartbroken he didn’t put two and two together earlier
he takes time off for the time being to make sure ur taking care of urself
hes watching u like a hawk but trying not to make it evident
the first time u ask him for a kiss, he gives u dozens
he hadn't been asked for kisses in so long he was so relieved 🥺
he’s constantly telling u how beautiful u r and talking to ur bump about how they have the best genes and their uncles
this man is a father already it seems
he is ur #1 face mask partner cause he buys the cute ones only because u deserve the cute ones that r ur favorite ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜
cooking together is something that happens, not often but every once in awhile he will let u do small things
cut up some lettuce? sure! pour in the soup broth? of course u can! taste test his food? always.
he wants to make sure ur comfortable with him touching u or kissing u or what hes saying
“i love you.” he’s mumbling, quickly placing a kiss against the fabric of one of his own shirts that was worn by u and fit u like a dress still
he then goes up to ur cheek n presses a kiss to it, ur hand cupping his jaw and letting him kiss ur lips >.<
also u guys let out a quiet talk of pregnancy to the public, letting jyp release a notice on changbin’s absence from live-streams and posts with the boys
u two received a lot of positive feedback which changbin let u read the positive ones n loved when u smiled at each one
u were overdue by a week which was the worst, ur back hurt and u had migraines
u also were put on bed-rest for the next week before u could be inducted
u guys waited out the week and u got scheduled for an induction
the labor was really slow which sucked because u just wanted to hold ur baby already :(
rly intimate moments like chan just holding u n rocking u like a baby
u guys are given this position to move the baby down, your knees on the ground so u could kneel against the bed and changbin would hold ur hips n rock them
he just feels so bad he can’t do anything to help u with the pain 🥺
yall kinda vibing with the hospital food (idk bout yall but some food from hospitals smack chile)
“i just want to go home.” :(
u bet ur ass he scoots into ur hospital bed, holding ur hands n u just cry into his shoulder
he feels like his heart is being torn to pieces when he listens to u cry out of pain
his free hands holds your jaw, making u look up at him
“we’re almost done baby, okay? i know it hurts, if i could i would take your pain in a heartbeat. you are incredibly strong and i’m so proud of you. you just need to hang in here for a few more hours, yeah? you think you can do that?”
u give him the weakest smile ever but its better than nothing
u reach 10cm!!!
now the part that wasn’t fun was the pushing :/
u were hurting, u were tired, and u had been promised almost seven times that all u need was one more push but no matter what, it seemed like the baby wasnt budging
“the cord is wrapped around the neck, we need you to stop pushing. okay?”
ur too tired and stopping the pushing sounded good so u did as they said but when they told u they needed to actually reach in and unwrap it ur blood ran cold
u both were worried about how much u could take
u screamed, god it hurt and it felt like hours of them twisting but it was a mere minute
the labor progressed n there it was
“a girl!”
u two are like faucets or waterfalls
shes literally the perfect mixture of u both 🥺
he washed her hair n helped wrap her up in a blanket, giving her over to u for the first time
u both were just in love with her, she was absolutely perfect
he’s obsessed with her, taking in that baby scent, the scent of the light baby shampoo and the bit of baby powder that lingered throughout her onesie
her hair wooooww its so soft n fluffy
her little baby pout and her puffy cheeks
i can see him calling her bunny for awhile as a childhood nickname
he’ll just be like
“oh that’s my bunny!!”
weird look from u but ur heart melts while he bounces her in his arms n gives her some kissies and running his fingers thru her hair
he’s also rly soft, i don’t see him singing but i see him definitely whispering to her about how she’s gonna grow up and have the best life because thats his little girl
“ur gonna have eight uncles, they are crazy but it’s okay. u definitely lucked out on fathers though, i’m pretty good at lullaby's. u did get great genes too, u have a handsome daddy and a gorgeous mommy. we worked really hard on making u, please don’t hurt ur cute little face. u also have a storm coming, there’s a thing called stays, they are gonna adore you, i promise.”
omgomgomgomg jejejejeje im blushing at the thought of this i just adore dad changbin 
u guys may or may not be planning for another but it definitely would happen in a few years

chapter 16 // tell me its over
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apartment 204 - Katsuki Bakugou x reader
<< sixteen  >>
|| tell me its over  || 
Word count: 4K - because i have no chill
In which Bakugou is your hellish asshole of a downstairs neighbour, and also the cute, broody regular at your work you’ve been hitting on for the past few weeks. Things get complicated though when the past makes a reappearance, then shit kinda hits the fan.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You glance down at your phone, the screen far too bright for your eyes in your dark room. Katsuki’s last message to you is staring you right in the face, sending a sharp pain straight into your chest. Black dots dance across your vision as you remember to breathe. 
What is going on?
You know that you’re partially at fault for this, for not telling him even some semblance of the truth about your ex, but you were just trying to not be a damn burden. Why should he have to deal with that? You have had to do things on your own for such a long time, even your friends knew your boundaries - how does one even rely on someone without becoming so co-dependent that it hurts to be away from them? No, you think. Somewhere along the way, you became so used to seeing and being with him, that when you parted it hurt to breathe. Hanging your head in your hands, you press the heels of your hands into your closed eyes trying to stop the pressure from building behind them. How did you get to this point?
What a waste of time…
That line made you so mad. You knew he was hurt and mixing pure anger in with his already not-headed nature, you didn’t deserve to be spoken to like that. And you weren’t going to take it from him that’s for damn sure. Your mixed emotions were swinging between despair and anger like a wrecking ball going through concrete, and you knew if you weren’t careful it would crush everything and crumble the foundations of your very being. But Jesus Christ you just wanted to scream!
“What a fucking asshole!” You suddenly shout, feeling not even a sliver of the building pressure inside your release. You need some mood music, you decide, before you crumple into a useless ball of tears. Maybe you were just unlucky when it came to relationships. You were already aware that your communication skills sucked majorly, but you honestly thought that he was it. That he was that one person that was made just for you, and were you aware that it sounds cringe? Yes, you were. But you didn’t really care, though, if he thinks he can talk to you that way, oh he’s got another thing coming.
Getting up and walking to the stereo in the lounge, you connect your phone and turn the sound dial to deafening.
‘Look inside Look inside your tiny mind Now look a bit harder 'Cause we're so uninspired So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor’
Turning the music up louder until you can physically feel the bass vibrating the floorboards beneath your feet, you let out a frustrated yell at your whole situation - you would rather be angry than the other option was miserable despair. You’d get to that point eventually, but right now you’re pissed as fuck. 
What the actual fuck had happened? 
One second, everything had been peachy and perfect, and the next he was accusing you of cheating on him? What utter fucking bullshit! Stomping into the kitchen, you open the cupboard beneath the sink and pull out the vodka you had leftover from your last girls’ night with Ochako a few weeks ago, and tear the lid off. 
“What utter bullshit!” You snap at nothing, and raise the rim to your lips, taking one swig. Two. Three. Suddenly, there’s a thumping under your feet that doesn’t come from the beat and you know it’s your asshole neighbor. “Fuck off!” You mumble.
What a fucking waste of time.
You want to hate him. 
You want to be violent, to punch him in the face, to scream and cry. You wanted to do something, so that he could possibly feel even a sliver of the pain you were currently enduring...but you couldn’t bring yourself to do even that. 
‘You know he’s hurting too, that’s why he bit your head off’. You would call that rational voice in your head common sense, but tonight it could get the fuck out.
Because you know that the reason this hurt so bad, the reason you are breaking down is that you loved that brash asshole that scowls too much. The one that calls you a dumbass but did so with eyes full of admiration. The one that buys you coffee even though he knows you could get it for free from your work because he can, the one who will sit in on a fucking boring ass biology lecture at 8 am in his free time because he was bored and just wanted to be with you. The one that puts your education, dreams, and aspirations at the forefront of his mind, and knows you do the same. The one that helps you study for exams. The one that knew you loved PDA and would do stupidly cute things like hold your hand and kiss you in public even though he despises public displays of affection. 
You should have told him about Shindo ages ago. You should have told him how when you’d met the raven-haired boy you were only ten. That you’d been enamoured with him until he finally had made his feelings known when you fifteen. He had been your first everything; first kiss, first love - everything. You had even chosen your current college purely so you could be with him. What a stupid move that was. He made promises that he never kept. Like the flip of a coin, his sweet and kind personality you thought you knew turned into something completely different. You could barely recognize him. Shindo Yo became the psychotic boyfriend that you should steer far clear of. Expecting you to be at his beck and call, you found that being around him no longer took your breath away as it had once before, but instead smothered you.
You should have told Katsuki how you had come home to your shared apartment to find clothing littered across the floor, leading to your bedroom. You knew what was going on before you even recognized what you had heard. You should have told Katsuki about just how much it crushed you, about how you crumpled to the floor after walking right out of your apartment. You should have told him about the slump you were in after. There were days when you wanted to scream and days when you wanted to cry. You should have told your boyfriend that your ex had cheated on you and that he was pestering you non-stop. You should have trusted him, you should have relied on him. But that’s the thing about looking back on something, you see every little mistake you’ve made and how you could have changed it, but you can’t change what’s in the past.
You know that you were partially in the wrong for this, but so was he. Who does he think he is talking to someone like that? You know he’s hot-headed and can be borderline arrogant, but the way he spoke to you? Maybe you didn’t need that in your life…
‘Your point of view is medieval…’ Lilly Allen’s voice sings through your speakers and you frown at the blank tv in front of you. You had every right to be pissed at him right now, and though you know you may never truly hate him, you could be fucking livid. The chorus hit and you stood up on your couch and shouted the lyrics along with the music. 
“Fuck you! Fuck you very, very much. 'Cause we hate what you do and we hate your whole crew, so, please don't stay in touch!” You all but scream, not caring for anything but the anger and pain trying to burst its way out of you. Your phone vibrates in your pocket and faster than you would like to admit it finds its way to your hand. 
Text from Unknown: Y/n...can we please meet up. I just want to talk to you again, I miss us. Hear me out please gorgeous... - Shindo.
You feel something inside you begin to crack as the tiny sliver of hope you had that it was Katsuki leaves you. There is no hesitation as you turn off your phone and toss it on the couch away from you.
“Why are all men douchebags?” You ask yourself, tears threatening to fall as your anger begins to shift to something else. No no no, you’re not going to cry. You are not a fucking crybaby y/n... Earlier, the idea of being alone sounded like what you needed, but now, the music blasting, your apartment felt eerily quiet and your heartbeat echoed inside your head in perfect synchronization with the beat. You just knew you as you had reread your boy- ex’s texts, you couldn’t have your friends right that second because you knew you would break down and burst into a useless puddle of tears and you were better than that. You were stronger than that. A boy wasn’t going to break your heart. Not again. 
“Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful? 'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be,” you mumble along with the song, sitting on the edge of the couch just listening along with the words. Your brain wanders to your friends, and then automatically to Kirishima and Kaminari. His friends were so nice to you and were people you had started to think of as your own friends. Ones he was so rude to but fiercely loyal to. Why couldn’t he be this loyal to you…
You feel sobs building at the back of your throat and try to swallow them down. It hurt too much; his accusation was a force of relentless bullets that keep ripping new wounds into you. The thought of ever doing that to someone else, of someone having to go through what you had, it made you sick to your stomach.  Your heart physically throbbed painfully inside your chest. Looking at the vodka, you decide against it and go looking for some water. 
You wouldn’t have heard of it if you hadn’t had to walk past the door of your apartment. The vigorous pounding and a voice shouting that's muffled by the music. Your downstairs neighbor no doubt. Oh, you were so not in the right frame of mind to deal with this. The pounding force rattles your door and for a second you think it may just break off its hinges. 
Jesus Christ is this person fucking insane?! 
Your somewhat ‘war’ with them had been put on hiatus recently as you had spent a lot of time between Ochako’s and the boy’s apartment as its location was much closer to school. Also with everything going on with Katsuki, you had forgotten just how much of a raging asshole the dickbag downstairs was. But now you remember every little crappy thing they had done, the blender going off before five am, his constant complaints when you were up later than eight, oh and that fucking note! The audacity that they had to pull that crap... Fury fills your blood again as you stomp towards your door, finally ready to give them a piece of your mind. You don’t care if they were an old person like you had previously assumed, they were being an insensitive asshole! Can’t they hear you’re in pain? Sniffling, a burst of anger left your mouth as you yank the door open.
“Leave me the fuck alone you miserable-” what met your gaze stopped you in your sentence, cementing your feet to the ground.
No, this can’t be happening right now. The horror in your eyes stared back at a pair of red vermillion ones, as your next breath rushed out in a gasp. His bloodshot eyes previously filled with rage that rivalled yours quickly morph into shock. 
You stare at the boy that broke your heart not even an hour ago. You look at Katsuki Bakugou and his beautiful face, and everything that happened today tears through you like a wave of blades. A pathetically broken noise comes out of your throat and you immediately slammed the door in the blonde's face.
Oh my god…
Your legs collapse beneath, you causing you to fall to the floor. Oh my god, he was your neighbor. This whole time, he had been downstairs. Katsuki had been the one to drive you fucking mad whilst also make you feel so weightless and happy. The shock causes your body to shake as sobs rip through you, no longer able to hold anything in. 
No, no please don’t let him be here. He can’t be here.
And the previously cracking piece inside of you shatters.
                                             ❀ ❀ ❀
You’re not sure how long you stay there for, back against the door, weeping as if a limb has been severed from your body. The only indication of time moving on around you is through the ever-changing music seeping from your speakers. By the time your world somewhat comes back to focus, Kodaline is playing in the background. 
There's a gentle thump on the door, and you, for a moment, ignore it. You don’t want to see anybody. As if hearing you, you feel the next tap right on your spine followed by a soft voice.
“Y/n…” You force yourself to stand up and look through the peephole of your front door, the music playing too loudly for you to determine who is on the other side. You brace yourself for the worst, not really though knowing what that is - but the sight that meets you is a welcomed one. Another broken sob rips out of your chest as you see a pair of heterochromatic eyes that you have known since you were a child. You sling open the door so fast, the slam of it hitting the opposite wall is felt through the floor. Without a second of hesitation and without a single word, you throw yourself on your best friend and let your sobs be muffled by his shirt.
“I’ve got you,” Shouto says, holding your head against his chest. Never before, have you been so glad to see them in your entire life. You’re not surprised at all by their arrival, however, because they knew you, just as you knew them. 
You feel Todo walk you inside and sit on the couch, with you tucked up next to him in silence. The music is turned off and they don’t ask what happened, doesn’t demand anything from you, Todo just holds you as Izuku whizzes around your apartment like a man on a mission.
“He-he…” You try to say, making both boys stop to look at you. Your voice is hoarse from your crying and your throat burns at the attempt, but you need to get it off your chest. Todo’s serious gaze encourages you to find your voice again and between sobs, you manage to get it out. “He was my neighbor. Downstairs.” they look at each other before looking at you, a mix between anger, disbelief, and shock.
“You’re going to come and stay with us for a few days,” Is all Todo says in response, not leaving any room for discussion as you break down crying once again. Relief floods through you, both at having them here, but also for not having to be in the same building as Katsuki. 
With haste, they gather what you need and you quickly hurry down the stairs, the boys glaring at the level below yours as if tossing up the idea of getting into a physical brawl. You know that had they known just who occupied the apartment below yours before arriving at your rescue, they would have made a quick pit-stop at apartment 104. Shouto opens the passenger door for you and quietly,  you slip inside. You wipe your nose on your sweater sleeve and try to muffle your sniffles. Once the car is started and you’re buckled in, from his spot behind you, Izuku wraps his arms around your shoulders, hugging you to the chair.  You lean back into your friend’s embrace as he kisses you on the head. 
“You want some chocolate?” He asks quietly, and Todo actually snorts.
“Contrary to popular belief, chocolate doesn’t fix anything Izuku.” 
“Really? Because I have proof that it does,” he sasses back, resting his head on your chair.
“I’m good for now, thanks Zuzu.” You look between your two friends and try your best to give them a sad smile. “Thank you for coming to get me.”
“Whatever you need, we’re here y/n.” Shouto says, and your lips wobble. God, they were so precious to you. Sensing your inner turmoil, Izuku squeezes you tighter and you chastely peck the arm across your chest in thanks. You don’t know what you would do without them, or where you would even be.
The rest of the trip is relatively quiet, only Zuzu’s humming as songs play on the radio fills the car, and you’re grateful for even that distraction. When you finally make it to their shared apartment, you open the door and there’s Ochako, pacing and looking so damn worried. Meeting her halfway, you let her pull you into her as the silent tears you can’t seem to stop, run down your cheeks. 
“We’re watching movies,” she says, leading you into the lounge where you find three mattresses on the floor. You give them all a watery smile in thanks but turns into a broken attempt at a laugh as your eyes lock onto the three bags of KFC now in Shouto’s hands.
“You feed a small army with all that food.” You smile, wiping your nose. 
“We’re basically the same thing.” Todo points out as you all sit down and get comfortable on the floor. With your friends surrounding you, you give them all another sad smile and try to wipe away the uncontrollable tears as they fall.
“I love you guys so much.” You sniffle. Pulling you into him, Todo wraps an arm around your shoulder, and Ochako hugs your waist. 
“We love you too chickadee, more than you will ever know.” But, you think as you look over them and then at the Disney opening on the tv screen, you do know, and you love them just as much.
Tumblr media
He stands outside the door of the apartment above his own -  your door, staring at it with wide eyes. No fucking way were you his neighbor. He wasn’t a moron, or inept, he would have known that. Surely he had walked you home before?...no, you had been staying at Ochako’s a lot because it was closer to your work and classes… Your love for abba, your fucking sass, and annoying tendency to take no shit from even him that he adored. 
God, it was so obvious. How did he not fucking know?
Turning down the stairs, he all but sprints back to his room, clenching his phone so tight in his hand it almost cracks the screen. Fuck he needs to talk to someone or hit something. Some divine intervention that could prevent his phone from certain death emerged through an incoming call. Without hesitation, Katsuki answers, knowing full well who’s on the other side and his mouth moves too fast for him to comprehend. Looks like it’s talking and not hitting something.
“She was my fucking neighbor Kirishima.” he blurts out, his ass falling onto his couch as he speaks. Leaning back and he looks up at the ceiling as if he could still see her broken face when she had answered the door and seen him. He was sure that the shock on his face mirrored hers, but then the pain that it turned into... Good! She should be feeling what I felt. His brain argues against the very words, but he doesn’t care.
Katsuki manages to catch a very confused reply from his friend and rubs the bridge of his nose with his free hand. 
“She’s my upstairs neighbor.” He repeats, the situation finally daunting on him. The girl he had been dating for months was living above him, making his life hellish whilst doing the opposite when she was with him. Fuck my life.
“Fuck man,” Kirishima says distracted, and Katsuki can’t blame him. “I’m assuming you saw her or something then?” The redhead asks carefully. A growl rips out of Katsuki’s throat and he stands up, fisting a hand in his hair. He so wished that he hadn’t seen you. That someone else had opened that door, instead of your broken expression and bloodshot eyes. The way you had looked at him was as if he were something between a ghost and your worst nightmare.
“I wish I fucking hadn’t,” he admits. 
“Bro, she obviously meant something to you so I’m not surprised that you’re hurting-”
“Well, she doesn’t anymore. That shit’s done and thank god for it.” He wants to be fucking livid at you but no matter the shitty things he says about you, all he can see is your pained face and the feeling dissolves into nothing, leaving only despair in its wake. The words actually hurt as he says it, and Kirishima sighs from the other side of the phone - as if he could hear the turmoil in his voice. But the redhead doesn’t mention it. Good, because there would be hell to pay if he had.
“I’m currently staring at a half-full bottle of scotch from work right now, and am feeling kinda pathetic about drinking myself. Want some?” Katsuki knows that his friend doesn’t want to fucking drink. He works as a personal trainer most mornings during the week, including Saturdays, so getting slammed on a Friday night was something he often opted out of. But for this situation, for what his friend was going through, he’d do it. Or at least would watch over Bakugou as he got roaring drunk. 
“That is fucking pathetic shitty hair,” he replies, shaking his head at his friend’s antics. “Bring the fucking bottle or you’re not coming in.” 
“I knew you’d think so. I’ve got spiced ribs too just sitting here, I’m going to bring them too.” Katsuki would have to be an idiot to believe his friend would have one of his favourite foods just hanging around, but he didn’t object to it. “You’re second favorite bro might also make an appearance. But we can decide that depending on how much he pisses me off in the car.” For a moment, Katsuki’s lips tick up, but quickly drop again as he hears the sound of a door closing coming from above him. You’re leaving. 
Without realizing it, his hand has moved up to his chest where he gently rubs the skin above his heart. 
“I don’t care, Kirishima. Just hurry the fuck up and get over here.” He can hear Denki in the background and chooses to ignore them both before with a final curse at his friends, he hangs up the phone. His feet drag him to the window of his apartment that looks over the car parking of your apartment complex, and it’s like the world has a vendetta against Katsuki Bakugou this past week. Because there you are, getting into a car as your friend with the half and half hair closes the door behind you. From this angle, he can see you clearly through the passenger side window, and he can see the tears running down your cheeks. He has an urge to run to you, one that he blatantly ignores because you don’t deserve it. 
He’s better off without you.
Your green-haired, freckly friend wraps his arms around your shoulders - and then the car is gone. Katsuki turns his back on the window and walks towards the kitchen.
He’s better off without you. The whole thing was a fucking mistake. He doesn’t need anyone. His aspirations will take up everything he is, and he would much rather focus on that than you. 
Anything otherwise isn’t even worth a fucking thought.
Tumblr media
a/n: whew, that was a doozy. Sorry if its a bit wordy, I just had to get it all out. This will be the only written chapter of this series, so everything from here on out is back to the social media format. We’re so close to the end now its so scary. This smau is my baby and I love it lots so its really sad.

Tumblr media
Driving the car crane, carrying a blue sedan that you were trying to seize for three days, but the owner was such a dickhead till he finally pissed you off and you had to point him with a gun. Tig told you to do it, even if you've never fired one. His face was worth the risk of being reprimanded by Hale. Danny claps at you, when getting off of the crane, you point your new acquisition with both hands and a huge smile on the corner of your lips.
“Tada!” You say with a melodic voice, jumping one time.
“Good job, rookie”. He says urging you to high-five, giving you the ‘seized’ sticker. 
Very proud of your work, you take it to stick it on the front glass, crossing your arms after it to admire your piece of art.
“Ok, let's pull down this big guy”. Danny palms your back, ready to drop the tow and park the car with the rest.
“Ya’, man, who's that lass?” Chibs steps slow down, some meters away from you, hitting Tig's chest with his palm, actually hurting him.
“What the fuck?!” He yells rubbing himself over the kutt.
“She's (Y/N), the new Teller-Morrow mechanic”. Happy comes from nowhere, scaring both men, with no gesture in his face. “She's like a Pop Tart. Sweet and crunchy”.
“Did you already fuck her?” Tig sighs staring at him.
“No”.
“Then, how 'you know she's crunchy?”
“She broke Juice's nose yesterday”.
The men break in laughter, now understanding why his face looks like shit.
“Wha' happened?” Chibs tries to talk, starting to cough because of the loud laughs.
“She just got scared, 'cause he was behind her in silence”. Happy turns at them, narrowing on of his shoulder, making a move with his head to follow him.
The SOA president has been out of Charming for two weeks, taking care of the gun's business at southern Cali. For you, he was just traveling. The guys talked about him a lot in his absence of the club and you were pretty excited to meet him. At least, he's also your boss. So, when Tig shouts your new nickname making you turn, you go immediately with the same smile on your face.
“What's'ap, boss?” You say placing your hands behind your back, covered by the green jumpsuit of the workshop.
“The president”. He says pushing the man into you, with a singsong voice, making the scottish clicks his tongue.
“Just Chibs”. He adds, offering you a hand in somewhat formal greeting.
“Finally!” You say excited narrowing it, actually feeling a little nervous. “I'm (Y/N), but they call me ‘rookie’”.
“Rooke'”?
“Yeah, like a prospect for the club”. You explain then, getting back your hand with the own other.
“And she likes whisky”. Happy puts a forearm on one of the president's shoulder, taking off the toothbrush of his lips. 
“Really? Ya' wan' one? So ya' can tell me where did ya' come from”. The man offers then, turning an arm to the club entrance, and you obviously can't say ‘no’ even if it's ten am and you just finished the first coffee of the day. You nod in silence. 
Tig and Happy continue their way to the workshop, whilst you're walking by the scottish side with the nerves running through your whole anatomy. Everybody knows the Sons of Anarchy, everybody knows what they do even if they didn't see it. You know you don't have to be afraid, nor scared, but you can't help feeling it anyway. In a gentle gesture, the president holds the door for you, smiling slightly coming in. The club is empty, not even music is being played and it's kinda strange. Maybe they prepared before this meeting, so no one could bother you. 
Even if you have been working for the last two weeks, if Filip decides to fire you 'cause you're not what he was looking for Teller-Morrow, he can do it without needing the support of anyone. You like your job and they pay you quite well, having a very flexible schedule, and treating you like another one of the family. So losing it, it's not an option.
You can see the man turning around towards the bar, grabbing two glasses to serve a whisky from an old bottle. You can recognize it. An special edition of Blue Label of Johnnie Walker. You have never tasted before, but you heard about it. Honey and vanilla are the first nuances you can taste having a sip. Chibs is staring at you with a raised eyebrow, waiting for an opinion. Snapping 
“It's sweet, but bitter because of the citrics”.
“Dammet', lass!” He yells excited, hitting the bar, provoking you a chill. “Its true ya' like wheske'”.
“Yea', I... do”. You nod with pursed lips, seeing him walk towards the sofa.
Sitting there, you doubt for a second carrying a chair next to him and leaving your drink on the table, looking around for a second expecting what he wants to know.
“So tel'me. Where 'ya from, where ya' worken'... All thes' thengs'”. Chibs finally says, placing his whisky above the table, leaning towards you with his forearm supported on his lap.
“I'm from Los Angeles, my father had a workshop too, so it's family business”. You explain yourself, not sure what more you can say about your life. “When he died thr—”.
“'Am sorre'bout that”. The president holds your right hand for a while, narrowing it.
“Yea', life's things, I guess”. His touch is firm, looking at both hands sideway, before continue. “Well, ah... It was three years ago. He left me the workshop, but I was alone and I couldn't do it without help, so I had to sell it. I was working with my uncle, till I decided to move on. And... a friend told me about yours and I said... Why not? So, here I am”.
“Hm...” Chibs nods thoughtful resting his back on the sofa, moving his gaze from one side to another in nowhere.
“Listen, ah... I know it took me three days to seize that sedan, and I have no excuses, but I really like this job. I mean, work here”. You look desperate licking your lips and gesticulating more than necessary, not trying to give pity, but asking for another chance.
“Relax, rooke', I'm not gonna keck'yar ass”. His loud laughter, shaking his chin, infects you chuckling. Not sure if because you want, or because you're doing it to please him. “The bike in the backyard, is yars'?”
“It was my father's. He used to run Cali with it, till he couldn't do it anymore. But it's not working. I have to fix it”.
“You wan'me to help ye'?”
The question takes you by surprise, twisting your neck as a dog would do when he's confused. Until now, you have been doing it by yourself, even though you can take her to a workshop and not worry about it. But someone offering himself to help you it's something new. Not actually ‘someone’, but the Sons of Anarchy president. And your boss.
“Yes, yes... I mean, sure. If you have time”.
“Aye! 'Course, lass. Wha' ya' have is a fuckin' gem! Wha'bout tonigh'?”
You don't say anything, but it sounds like a date. And it doesn't surprised you by the way he had to greeting you, when you two met minutes ago. His fingers were a little shaky and you can swear that even his hand was somewhat sweaty. Finally, you nod before he could start to think that you're kinda dumb, having a sip of your whiskey.
“Ya ken'? I had one simila' when I was younga'”. He comments, seeming like the man wants to continue your talk, but doesn't knows how to do it. “I toured Scotlan' whet'et'”.
“I've never been there, but I saw it in photographs. It's an amazing country”. 
“Aye! Et'e—
Some yells outside call your attention, and you recognize the voice by heart, 'cause you have been hearing it for the last three days. Rolling your eyes and getting up, down by the scottish's gaze following you, you walk towards the workshop with a serious gesture on your face and your arms crossed above your chest. The sedan' owner is there, with Hale by his side. You're fucked. 
“She was! She was!” The blonde man is pointing at you accusatory, seeing how the sheriff rubs his eyes. “That bitch pointed me with a gun!”
“Did you?” Hale asks you with a hand resting in the butt of his own gun, hanging from his belt, and the other hanging by a side of his body.
“No, sir. I did—”.
“You, fucking liar!” The man practically jumps to you, being blocked by the SOA president, hitting him straight to his face.
Everything goes so fast that you can't even react. But the scottish is putting you behind his body, after punch the sedan' owner, with a hand thrown back slightly touching your abdomen. Hale is handcuffing him, growling and cursing at you lying on the ground by the sheriff.
“If you say anything else, I'm gonna accuse you of obstruction, do you hear me?” The cop says putting him down, starting to walk next to the car so his co-worker can sit him inside the car. “Do you want to file a complaint?”
This time is coming back towards you, with a sigh on his lips rolling his eyes. You shake your head, hiding out from Chib's back, frowning at the blonde man.
“Don' worry, sir, it's ok”. You say then.
“Tel'im fi' me that he won't get his car back”.
And without saying anything else, he turns at you placing an arm on your shoulders to urge you start to walking back to the workshop.
┅┅ ┅ ┅ ┅┅
When your turn is already finish, you drive back home the enough time to have a shower and changing your clothes for something more comfy taking into account the plan you are going to have. You're also trying to not think that it's a date, even if it was like it sounded. And you can't help but feeling nervous parking by a side of the yard, frowning missed when you notice the fact that there's only a bike. So, your suspicions get confirmed. Actually it's not something that bothers you, after all you've heard about him. Loyalty, strength, sincerity, self-confidence, kind and polite. And an accent pretty funny. So, why not? 
“Wha' ya' thenken'?” Chibs comes from nowhere, scaring you and making you scream. 
The man starts to laugh loud, while your face becomes rude with pursed lips and a hand on your chest trying to calm your heart beat.
“Jesus Christ...”
“Dammet, rooke', it's true ya're ease' to scare!” You sigh rolling your eyes because of his words. “Com'ere, I've alrede' brought yar' bike”.
“DaMmEt, RoOkE”. You joke on him with a high-pitched tone, whilst he's laughing louder.
“Ya' amaze me, lassie. Dinnae' know you talk scottesh'”.
“What the...?” You find yourself laughing too in a relaxed way after a long time, shaking your head with a sigh, going to the workshop illuminated by some lights.
Turning over your steps you notice that the place is practically empty, guessing that Juice took off all the cars by Chibs' petition, playing fool when you find with your gaze two cardboard boxes from your favorite burger joint. Hiding your curiosity and moving your feet next to the old Harley Davidson, you let your fingers travel over the metallic handlebar. Memories crowd your head, one on top of the other, until you collapse. You still haven't driven it, because your father kept it for almost eight years on his garage, till he left. And it doesn't need a lot of fixes, but you haven't been able to get started before. You couldn't, 'cause it's the only thing you have of him.
“When was the... fers' time ya' ride't?”
Turning to the man, finding him supporting his back against the wall with a big cup of coke in his left hand, sipping from the straw. You shrugs your shoulders, taking the other drink to imitate him with your gaze on the matt black motorbike.
“I didn', yet. Alone, I mean... But by my father's back”. You say almost in a whisper. “I was five years old. We toured Cali coast”.
“Cali coast amaze me, et's a good ferst' ride”. He says then, after some seconds in silence. “Ded'ya by night?”
“Dawn, actually”. You answer with a goofy smile on your lips and your eyes on the drink between your hands, playing with the straw. “I... remember that... my father came to my room, to wake me up saying ‘let's go, bunny, adventure time’! He was very excited”.
It's the first time in years that you're talking about him and Chibs looks pretty curious about it, but you're trying not to break your voice. Smiling sideways, you stare at the scottish man, shrugging your shoulders again, not knowing how continue.
“Why ‘bunny’?”
“I like velocity”.
“Oh, realle'? Wha' bike ded'ya have before et'?”
Your cheeks turning red and your lips pursuing second by second, containing a laugh, makes him raises both eyebrows with curiosity.
“A Vespa...?” You mutters biting the straw, while Chibs laughs again. You're starting to love his laugh, no regrets. “Ah, ah, but...! I have a Mustang, so, boom!”
Your left hand imitates the typical gesture of dropping a mic, getting up from the wall to walk towards the food with innocent air, opening one of the bags with your forefinger and having a quickly look.
“Ya'hungre?” He asks then, following your steps to grab boths bags, twisting his neck in a soft gesture to tell you without words about to have a seat.
So you do, on one of the cair placed on the front yard, next to a corner.
“So, what et' needs?”
“Brakes. I need to change them. Now it has ones that are obsolete and I was thinking to put an ABS”. Leaving your drink between your feet, you take the burger Chibs is offering you to unwrap it on your lap.
“Sounds good. Do ya' have them?”
“Yea', I bought them in LA. And I think could be good change the tires, the oil and the handlebar grips, they're a little worn”.
“Tha's'ease fo' ya'”.
“Yeah, but... I didn't want to fix it, actually?”
“Why?”
“I'm scared to have an accident or something, and destroy it. I don' have anything of my father, but his bike”. Having a bite with your gaze on him, you cover your mouth to keep talking. “So, I just... was telling... myself that I didn't have time... to fix it”.
“But we're gonna do 'et!” Chibs exclaim excitedly, opening his arms for a second and holding the burger and the beer in each hand. “I know yar' father prefers to fac'ap his bike, than keep'et in a garage with dust on 'et”.
“Yea', I think so...”.
━━━━━━ ﹅ ━━━━━━
First, knocks on your door. Then your bell ringing. Palming the mattress till you find your phone to watch the clock, you read all the notifications in the locked screen. There are almost eleven lost calls from Chibs and a lot of messages. And it in silence. You practically jump off of your bed, running as never before to the main door, opening it.
“Finally! Jesus Christ, I thought ya' were dead!” 
“What happened? It's everything ok? Sorry, I just fell asleep an—”. You're talking so fast that your tongue ends up making a mess.
Chibs enraptured looking at you from top to down with a goofy smile on his lips, very interested in the Black Sabbath' shirt you're wearing. Clearing his throat, while your gaze travels to the dark van parked in front of your house. Tig and Juice are taking off of it your motorbike. Pushing him away from you, with your left hand on his chest, you take some steps barefoot above the cesped. You're face shows surprise and confusion, believing for a while that you're dreaming or something like that. 
One of his hands wrap your left wrist, urging you to look at him. You're legs shaking for a second. 
“Ya're prette' with messy hair and tha' shirt, but I wanna ride with ya'”. He says then, trying to hide his excitement.
And you want to hide yours, but you can't. You hug him, but not with a normal one. You're rousing and thankful, surrounding his neck with yours arms leaning on your toes. You know he wasn't expecting by the “oh” he mutters kinda surprised, taking some seconds till he finally is able to wrap your back and your waist pushing you closer into him, resting his forehead on your shoulder. Then, Chibs understands why Happy said like you're like a Pop Tart. He knows it tooks you just one second to make him fall in love with you and that the fact of worrying about your favorite take away restaurant, it wasn't only 'cause you're ‘the rookie’. 
The scottish have a deep breathe from your hair, starting to wish he hadn't, because he's falling a little more. And he can't watch his mouth.
“Ya' smell really good”. He tells you with a husky tone on his voice that bristles the skin of your arms.
“Honey and vanilla”. You mutter with pursed lips, before the man making you a gesture to come in your house.
You nod in a hurry, running back to your room looking for the perfect clothes to drive. A comfy pair of jeans, a vaporous shirt, your boots and a leather jacket. Keeping your principal stuff in a bag and grabbing your helmet, you walk towards the main door sooner as you can. The van isn't there anymore but your bike and Chib's one, close to yours, are parked on the sidewalk. He's already waiting sitting on his, turning on the engine when you're wearing the black helmet before keep the bag under the seat, the scottish stares at you with a hug smile and a dearly gesture on his face.
It has been eight years since you heard your father's Harley roaring, and feeling how your body vibrates on it it's simply amazing. You can't even describe how you feel right now, looking at Chibs with that gesture mixing incredulity and surprise. Pressing the brake, but also the gas, the back wheel squeaks without caring if you wake up your neighbors. 
“Let's go, lass!” 
You release the brake, letting your motorbike rolls above the road with a hoarse growl flying off from the engine, being followed by the scottish. He didn't tell you where you're going, but after five days talking about your childhood in Cali, it's pretty clear that he wants to ride the coast with you after seeing the emotions that provokes you the memories doing it with your father. You know well he wants to be part of it, part of your routine and part of your life. And you're letting him come in 'cause, why not?
You know the road by heart, touring it with the fresh dawn's air hitting your face, till it turns with a salty smell after some hours driving in silence, enjoying the landscape views. You're closer to the ocean and you can feel it inside your lungs, closing your eyes for second. Time enough to make you fly back to your childhood. The sound of the engine, the seagull, the waves breaking. Everything is the same as you remember. But you're not a child anymore, you're ridding California with Filip Telford by your side, who can say that? Only you. And it's not because who he is, but because of who you want him to be for you.
It's sunrising. In the horizon, the sky is mixed with blue, orange and soft pink. It's your favorite part of the day, but now it's different. You're /living/ it, breathing it, enjoying it totally relaxed as never before, with Chibs' eyes on you for a ephemeral instant, fully spellbound. And that's what makes it special this time.
“Don'ya thenk' it's time fo' a coffee?” He asks loud enough for you to hear him. You nod laughing, 'cause you really need it after sleeping for just four hours.
Some mills away, you finally stop in a rest area on top of a small cliff. Taking off your helmet, you walk towards the wooden railings looking down. You're too close of the sea that almost some salty drops splash your face interspersed with the sea breeze. You couldn't get tired of a place like that. The smell of hot coffee pushes you into reality, turning to Chibs so you can hold the metallic mug.
“Maybe I put some Cardhu in'et”.
“Maybe?” You break in laugh, leaning your nose over it.
“When I say ‘maybe’, et's because I alrede' ded'et”.
“So... the other night, at the workshop, maybe it was a date?”
“Maybe”. He nods, blowing his drink, before taking a drink. “Maybe that's the second one”.
“Maybe you already won me, fixing my bike and bringing me here”. Giving him your most smooth smile, you drink too, turning to the ocean while he puts an arm on your shoulders letting you rest your cheek on his. “Maybe you put a lot of Cardhu”.
“Yea', maybe”.
