Obsessive!Choso♡ pt3
Tumblr media
pt 2 here content: Choso refers to reader as his gf- other than that no use of pronouns. mention of reader wearing lipstick, obsessive crush to stalker arc :>
(a.n) this is slowly becoming a fic and I don't hate it. I felt lack of inspo last night and did a deep dive into what stalkers do- the red flags before they start the actual stalking lol
taglist: @flam3bird
Obsessive!Choso who almost felt his heart burst when he saw you wave hi at him when you walked into class. Smile on your lips as you walk down to your seat. Hearing your friend speak a little louder than a whisper while taking a practice test, seeing you look back at him and make a face almost asking him, ‘can you believe what she's saying?’ before turning around again, watching your friend lean in close to you and keep pestering you. His eyes watching you turn your phone on under your desk, ‘During a test? What are you thinking-’ he thought, mentally scolding you.
Obsessive!Choso who almost died when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, pulling it out and seeing that you had texted him. ‘can u hear her from all the way over there ?’ reading it and hearing your voice. The realization of, ‘you were thinking of me?’ making him slouch in his seat, feeling his heavily pieced ears start to warm. Staring at your text, looking down at you, noticing you had the conversation still open. ‘Are you waiting for me?’ he asked you in his mind. Quickly screenshotting the notification before opening it, ‘yeah, i can.’ he typed, sending it and seeing you turn your head and smile at him. Seeing you look down at your phone, his heart beating quickly when he saw the typing bubble show up. ‘she keeps asking me what the answers are’, smiling when he saw that your auto capitalization was off, another thing you two had in common. ‘is this not a practice test?’ he typed, thinking how crazy it is that he was talking to you. To you! Person of his dreams, everything he wanted in a partner. You. The person who always greets him with a warm smile, who's always nice to him.
Obsessive!Choso whose heart skipped a beat when he saw you move your shoulders, indicating that you were trying not to laugh. ‘I make you laugh?’ looking down at his phone and seeing you had texted again. ‘dont think she knows that’  you replied, putting your phone away and getting back to the paper in front of you. Making sure to remember to ask you why you're friends with someone like that. ‘You're not the same kind of person- or even on the same level mentally. So why would you be friends with someone who does nothing but bother you?’  Thinking he knew everything about your friendship with this person. 
Obsessive!Choso who went to the campus coffee shop, in hopes that maybe you'd be there. Knowing from your instagram stories that you usually came to pick up a coffee after one of your classes. Only this time you weren't here. Pulling out his trifold wallet before paying, looking to see he didn't have any cash, trying to find his card. “Pretty girlfriend.” the cashier said, breaking the awkward silence while looking at the photo of you in his wallet. “Sorry?” he asked, looking at them when he found the piece of plastic. “Your girlfriend-” they continued, eyes pointing at the picture. The sentence made him flustered, not paying attention that some people notice small things like that. Smile on his face as he mumbled a quiet ‘I know.’ before tapping his card onto the screen. 
Obsessive!Choso kept those few words in his mind whenever he caught a glimpse of his wallpaper. ‘My girlfriend.’ he'd think, smile on his lips when he would refer to you as that.
Obsessive!Choso saw a picture of your laptop and a notebook next to it in your story. Knowing you were home, knowing that you were waiting for him to text you, you had to be right? Opening the google doc on his computer, seeing that you were on it as well. A few minutes of him watching your cursor type a sentence and delete it. Before seeing a message from the upper right corner of his screen. A message from you, ‘Hey, I know it's late. But I hit a wall with this stupid project- could I call you?’ he read, eyes widening at how right he was. Clearing his throat at how forward you were being. Call? As in on the phone with you? 
Obsessive!Choso who almost choked when he heard your voice on the phone. Pressing the phone closely to his ear, closing his eyes with a smile when he heard you say- “Heyyyy”, not being able to find the words to say to you. A small ‘hi’ leaving his throat. Hearing you let out a small giggle before hearing you place your phone down. “So i'm on the doc- and I saw you were on it too-” you started, Choso pictured you. Sitting in front of your laptop, smile on your face while speaking. He could tell by just your voice that you were smiling, smiling while talking to him.
Obsessive!Choso who desperately wanted to record the conversation- well, more like record your voice. He wasn't the one speaking a whole lot. You had gotten used to filling the silences he left in the air, being able to tell that he wasn't much of a talker. But little did you know that he was thinking longer replies, but only thinking them. Smiling when he’d hear you ask a question. You started reading aloud what you had written- making sure it sounded right. Choso accidentally let out a low ‘Mhm’ while hearing you read, closing his eyes in regret when he heard you stop. “You sound so different on the phone-” you started, almost a whisper. He exhaled quietly in relief when he heard your fingers start to press onto the keys of your computer. The call didn't last longer than 20 minutes, you just wanted to ask him his opinion on if what you had so far sounded smart or not. But in his mind, the only real reason you called was to speak to him- to hear him. 
Obsessive!Choso who felt like he could die when you told him ‘thank you’ for his help. But when you mumbled a tired, “Goodnight Choso-” before you hung up, made his cheeks flush and his heart pound in his chest. The first time you had ever said his name. Immediate regret filling his gut when he remembered he didn't record it. But he would always remember it, always keep it close to his heart in memory. 
Obsessive!Choso was walking to the campus coffee shop after class. Seeing you speaking to some guy- probably one of the so called friends you choose to surround yourself with. Slowing his pace when he saw you slowly backing away from him- and nodding no at him. Seeing this guy, reach for your arm, speaking over you as he stepped closer. Even from a distance he could see your face look uncomfortable. At that moment, Choso didn't know what came over him. He walked over- more like storming over. His face full of anger, slapping a sweet smile onto it when he saw you look over at him. “I was just about to go find you.” Making sure to keep a sweet tinge in his tone when he spoke to you. Smile of relief on your face when you saw him. Dark eyeshadow and combat boots almost making you feel safe. A quiet ‘hey’ trailed from your lips, feeling the stranger's hand fall from your arm, taking a step back. “Me too, I wanted to bring up-” you started. Rambling about what the professor had taught today, noticing the guy back off before walking away. Seeing you exhale before looking at his face. “Thank you.” you whispered, looking down at your shoes. “A friend?” he asked, his tone deeper than before. Using the same tone he spoke to you while on the phone. “Absolutely not-” you smiled, looking back up at him. “Just some guy from my public speaking class. He's been bothering me since the first day.” You laughed, seeing him crack a small smile, his hands fidgeting with his rings. “Are you busy? I was just about to go grab a coffee-” you started, looking away from him in the direction of the same coffee shop he was going to.
Obsessive!Choso who thought; ‘Aren't you forward. Trying to spend more time with me?’ as he nodded no, “I'm not.” he replied, his hands in his pockets.
Obsessive!Choso who was convinced you were starting to feel the same way he did, even if it was only a week since they paired you together. I mean, who would ask someone if they wanted to have coffee with you? “Sorry if you had plans- or whatever.” you started, walking slowly next to him. “I didn't.” he mumbled, hearing his boots drag onto the concrete. “The least I could do is buy you a coffee!” you exclaimed, ‘No need to thank me- who else but me will protect you from all the horrible men in the world?’ Choso thought, looking over to see you, remembering all the people who have been broken by men who didn't love them. Knowing that you would never have to worry about those silly things with him. 
Obsessive!Choso who purposefully switched the two coffees you had paid for- in hopes he'd be able to share an indirect kiss with you. Knowing if he tried to pay, you'd see the picture of yourself he had in his wallet. Sitting down at one of the round tables, heavily ringed hands around the cup as he looked at you pick up his coffee. Making a face when the sour taste hits your tongue. “I think they switched our cups-” You smiled, pushing his cup towards him. Seeing him mutter a feigned ‘Oh’ as he gave you the correct cup. His eyes focused on the light print of lipstick you had left on the black lid. “I could get you a new one- I know some people are huge germaphobes.” You smiled, taking a sip from your cup to wash the bitter taste from your mouth. “There are worse things in the world than sharing a drink with someone.” He murmured, slouching in his seat, seeing you give him a sweet smile in return.
Obsessive!Choso who took one sip of his coffee, only to assure you that it was okay that you had drank from it. Who felt his knee start to bounce with anticipation when he felt the satiny feeling of your lipstick on his bottom lip. Hearing words falling from your mouth, but not listening to them. Thoughts of how technically that was your first kiss with him. Seeing your phone light up on the table, hearing you sigh loudly. And it continued to light up- repeatedly. “Jesus- this girl doesn’t know how to take a hint.” You exhaled, picking up your phone and typing something. ‘Must be the girl from class.’ he thought.
Obsessive!Choso whose lips moved before his brain could process what he was saying. “The girl from class?” he asked, seeing you look up at him and smile. “Yeah- she keeps trying to come over to my house for a sleepover.” You placed your phone down, “That girl is the epitome of peaked in highschool.” You mumbled, Choso finally found an opportunity to ask you. “Why are you friends with her?” he questioned, seeing you inhale at his words. “I chose this college to get away from all the bullies and all the pretentious people who would live the same boring suburban lives.” You started, “And to become myself- to find myself.” You mumbled, looking away from him. “Imagine my disappointment when I got here and it was full of superficial delta chi’s-” You laughed, seeing him return a smile to you. Humming in response to your words. “I was never good with confrontation- The idea makes me anxious and uneasy.” seeing him look at you with his head in his hand. Eyes half lidded while listening to you. His pointer finger tracing doodles onto the table. Liking the way you opened up to him, letting him get to know you. Being able to hear your unfiltered thoughts, not the bullshit you over thought before you posted on your story. 
Obsessive!Choso who paid close attention to what you were saying, hanging onto every word that fell from your lips. Feeling yourself cringe at how you just aired out your business to someone who was practically a stranger, not knowing why it was so easy to speak to him. Somehow never sensing any judgment or lack of interest in what you said. Feeling a wave of relief whenever you were able to speak to him- a real person who didn't care about people's opinions. “Honestly I don't know why I'm still friends with her- I've tried to sit in other seats, hoping she wouldn't sit next to me in that class anymore.” You spoke, finally answering his question. ‘I know. I watched you every time you moved seats.’ Choso replied to your words mentally. “I think the reason I'm failing that class- is that I can't focus on what is being taught because she's in my ear the entire time.” You smiled, easing up on the heavy topic. ‘Aha. I knew you were failing- just like me.’
Obsessive!Choso wanted to suggest that you to sit next to him, knowing your childish friend won't follow you if you did. “Failing?” he asked, eyes scanning your features. “Yeah, I was hoping this-” You sighed, “stupid project would help my grade at least a little.” Closing your eyes and leaning back into your chair. ‘Ask me. Ask me and I'm yours. Ask me to help you.’ he thought, fighting off his excitement when you looked at him. Lightbulb practically popped up above your head, “You're doing good in class, aren't you?”  you asked, smile on your lips as he nodded yes without thinking. “I know that we were only paired for this assignment- but would you be ok with helping me study?” You smiled, eyes so bright he swore he could see the universe in them. “Of course.” He smiled, seeing you exhale and look down at the table with a smile.
Obsessive!Choso who almost let out a small giggle when he saw your face flush. ‘Are you- blushing?’ he asked himself. The question you asked him didn't make him nervous. He understood most of what was being taught, but he didn't have the energy to physically write the essays, and besides- Choso preferred spending his free time thinking of you. Not of the stupid course work that he didn't need for real life. Trying to get to know you better through your social media. Dissecting every single photo you posted. Zooming into the background of your bedroom, seeing if he could find anything worth researching. A band poster, a shirt on the floor, a stranded bottle of nail polish he could buy so he would match with you- anything that would let him see you. The real you- not the person that you pretended to be with the fake friends you had. The person he saw a flicker of that day at the cafe. The person you came to this college to become.

Kiss It Off Me
CHAPTER 2
Chapter Summary:
And what does Haley do when things don't go her way? She sabotages. So it wasn't a surprise when Haley's mouth opened and the next words that came out were ones she never intended to say. It was a defense mechanism, a way to push people away before they could hurt her. "If it weren't for those horrendous clothes, you might actually be pretty," she blurted out, regretting it as soon as the words left her lips.

Notes:
Okay, so originally in my AO3 this is meant to be a Haley x OC and I have already created a solid description for my character. However, I thought it would be much better if I changed it to a reader-insert instead tho I'll probably keep some physical descriptions that I had already inserted, so sorry about that. Also, if some of y'all have already read this in my AO3, expect some minor changes.

Spring 1
Haley rises with the grace of a blooming sunflower that she is. It's finally Spring!
No longer will she suffer from the icy chill that makes her toes feel like they're about to fall off, none of that ridiculously nasty snow that forces her to use that Yoba awful boots she had hidden at the deepest part of her wardrobe, and just as equally terrible gloves that hinder her from using her camera let alone her phone when she finally got that once in a blue moon occurrence of perfect lighting outside.
And most importantly; no more dry, frizzy hair.
AND.
She could finally continue her tan!
Oh, the endless possibilities that await her in this new season. So much to explore and experience. Haley is positively bursting with excitement, eager to dive into all the joys, and wonders what something new Spring has planned for her.
****
When Haley expected something new, She didn't mean new 'new' like a new person but new as in something exciting like a freshly arrived parcel from the shop she ordered online, or perhaps a new conditioner that makes her hair bounce and makes it shinier that Yoba could mistake it as the sun. 
Her expectations were already at rock bottom with Pelican Town being the dullest place on earth.
But why oh why did she even bother to expect?
"The new farmer's coming today, just so you know," Emily casually mentions as she washed their dishes that morning.
Haley scrunched up her face. She had already forgotten about it. Why bring it up again?
"Oh, goody. Another reason to avoid the Townsquare today."
Emily turned to her with her typical condescending look she learned to hate. "Hay, you don't have to become BFFs with her right off the bat. Just say hello and try not to be your usual mean self. You'll thank me later."
"And I don't have to introduce myself within the day, Em." Haley crossed her arms, standing her ground. "This is no classroom where you need to acquaint the new kid on her first day." 
"I know." She sighed as if she was having a conversation of repetition with a toddler and she's running out of patience. "Just be nice to her, yeah?"
Haley didn't answer. With camera tucked carefully between her hands, she left the kitchen without a word. Emily never fails to make her feel like a child being taken care of by her. Like she's in dire need of a babysitter and without her guidance, Haley would be nothing.
It's infuriating really. 
No. 
She wouldn't let this ruin her day.
Today was going to be a good day. Emily's incessant nagging couldn't change that. Besides, she probably wouldn't even meet the new farmer. It was already past 10, and the girl was most likely already mingling with the locals or resting in that old cottage of hers.
She can still take pictures back in Marnie's ranch. then she can hang out with Alex in his place. Go back home exactly during Emily's shift on the Saloon and then she'll have the whole house to herself while she can finally cook something edible without Emily breathing down her neck.
Yes, that would be ideal. Today is a good day.
****
Wrong.
Just as Haley stepped foot outside 2 Willow Lane, she was greeted by a tall, unfamiliar woman strolling by her house at an infuriatingly slow pace.
You held a whole map of what she assumed was the town's which was big enough to hide your whole face, and as well as hinder your vision to notice Haley on the side, much to her relief.
Are you the new girl?
All that she can tell is that you have the darkest hair she has ever seen in her whole life. It was shiny, and ridiculously long, too which kinda compliments its wavy nature. 
Also, why the hell are you in a dress shirt and a tie?
Haley may be a bit far behind the books but she's sure as hell that isn't the right attire for someone who'll work on a farm.
If Haley didn't know Lewis is the mayor, she'd probably think you're the new mayor with your totally immaculate wardrobe— a dress shirt and a tie, perfectly flattened slacks, and a pair of leather shoes that probably look expensive.
Shit. Are you really the farmer? Or just a visitor?
Oh, no. Are you turning around? Oh, Yoba, she is!
Haley scrambled to her feet. Not sure if she should bolt inside the house, run to the Townsquare, or what. 
With her probably last brain cell that saves her from the utter embarrassment of being caught checking out the new farmer (absolutely not, the disgrace), her own body moves on its own. She grabbed her camera and positioned herself like she was taking a photo of the least appealing subject she had ever captured in her life— Emily's cactus.
Please not now, Yoba. Not now.
She found herself praying to the deities she no longer talked to when she felt your eyes burning into her back. She had probably taken a load of mediocre photos of Emily's plant when she finally felt the farmer leaves.  
She breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and found the street empty apart from her. Only then did she notice how fast her heart was beating against her chest.
Thank Yoba for saving me from that mortifying introduction.
Why is she even nervous anyway? She didn't even see me. Even so, that was so embarrassing.
Wait, no.
Embarrassed, not nervous.
Only embarrassed, nothing else.
The word nervous and Haley doesn't fit. In fact, it should never ever be used in a single sentence. Haley doesn't get nervous, ever.
She was just caught off guard, that's all. 
Next time, she'd prepare an introduction so fantastic that you would be left with the impression that Haley is too good for you— kind and never mean, but still way out of your league.
Just you wait, stranger. She thought determinedly, trying to ignore the voice at the back of her head that sounded suspiciously like Emily, asking her if she was really sure it was going to be a good day.
Haley doesn't really know.
****
"Did you meet Y/n?" was Emily's first words when she arrived home from her shift.
Haley remained sprawled on the couch, flipping through the pages of her fashion magazine for this season. The struggle was real, trying to choose between the blue skirt or the pink shorts.
"Who?" she asked, her eyes still glued to the glossy pages.
"The farmer, Hay." She can feel Emily rolling her eyes at her.
"Oh," Haley feigns interest, barely lifting her gaze. "That not-so-tall, dark-haired farmer with a fashion taste of an old woman ready to retire from her corporate job?"
Emily gasped, and Haley turned to look just in time to see her scandalized look. To be fair, you don't look that bad. You also tower over Haley for a couple of inches and your fashion sense isn't the worst that she has seen in her life. Haley wouldn't be caught alive admitting that aloud though, especially not in front of Emily.
Lies are an easier language to learn after all.
"Don't tell me you just insulted her on her first day?"
"Of course not." Haley protested, magazine long forgotten. "I saw her but I didn't even talk to her nor she even tried. The doofus was so busy with her stupid map to even see me."
Looking back at the scene made her feel embarrassed, relieved, and offended at the same time.
Like how could you not notice a true beauty in front of you? Her face alone was enough to catch the attention of all the people in the area. She's not crowned flower queen for nothing yet you just walked passed her like she's just an average woman!
How dare she?
But on the side, it would have been embarrassing otherwise for Haley to be caught alive staring at the newcomer with wonder in her eyes.
Would anyone really blame her though? It was perfectly natural to size up the competition in terms of beauty.
Right?
Right?
And it's not like she noticed how broad your shoulder was or how your lean physique perfectly suited your chosen profession. Not at all, pft.
"Still, you could have said hello," Emily tries to reason with her, oblivious to the internal conflict turning on the gears of Haley's brain. 
"Why should I? I'm not the new girl, aren't I?" She shrugged indifferently, turning back to her mag once again. "And what kind of lame name is Y/n, anyway?"
"Haley." There's that tone again.
"What?" she snapped.
"Don't even start. Y/n is actually nice." Emily chided softly, her eyes boring into Haley's like a disappointed mother. "You said it yourself, this isn't high school anymore. Being mean doesn't get you anywhere."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Haley bristled at the insinuation, standing up to face Emily with a fierce expression. "Are you saying I'm directionless just because you have a job, and I don't?"
"I'm saying that being kind is always the right choice," Emily's calmness only fueled the anger she felt. "And trust me, it doesn't cost you anything to be nice to someone. But being mean can cost you more than you think."
Haley remained tight-lipped, not wanting to argue with her sister anymore. Emily seemed to mistake her silence for compliance.
"I'm just trying to look out for you, okay? Sorry if I came on too strong," Emily consoled her, giving her a pat on the head. "I'm off to bed now, gotta wake up early tomorrow. Goodnight, sis."
As Emily headed off to bed, Haley was left to ponder the events of the day—
No fantastic photos in Marnie's ranch because the nasty smell of animal waste was enough to drive her back to her entry steps, and the risk of running across the new farmer is greater there so, no.
As for Alex, forget it, she didn't have the stomach to endure his stench after playing with his ball all day. Her only option was to head back home.
Emily left early which is a good thing but when Haley went to the kitchen to finally practice her baking skills, she only found out that they had no more eggs. She could have run to Pierre's to get some but she isn't really keen on doing the shopping herself. That's Emily's forte, not hers.
And now, she's been lectured by her sister like she's some rebelled teen.
What a good way to start the year, huh?
Yeah, today is not a good day. 
****
Spring 2
Haley was out with her camera in Cindersap Forest just by the river. Unlike yesterday, it seems Marnie was just as bothered by the smell of her animals and decided to deep clean her ranch or whatever. So, the air was fresh and crisp, allowing Haley to breathe deeply without cringing.
The weather was ideal for taking photos— partly cloudy with a gentle breeze that carried delicate flecks of pollen through the air.
Despite her aversion to dirt and anything that possibly has germs in it, Haley loved taking pictures of nature. Behind the camera lens, she felt a profound connection to the world around her. She was in her element, lost in her own world, and nothing else mattered. Once she found the perfect subject, she was determined to capture it, no matter how dirty or injured she might become.
At this time of the year, the river looked especially magnificent in the soft light, and the falling pollen added a magical touch to the already enchanting scenery.
Just as Haley was about to snap the perfect shot, she heard a little squeak that was impossible to ignore. She turned her head to locate the source and was delighted to discover a...
Squirrel!
The little creature was the cutest thing she had ever seen, second only to the bunnies she had spotted at Marnie's ranch last year.
Haley raised her camera, ready to capture the moment forever. As if sensing her intent, the little guy let out another adorable squeak before darting off toward the deeper part of the forest where the weird old guy with the tower lived. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was worth it to follow the squirrel, but her impulsive nature won out in the end.
With ragged breath and hair slightly disheveled, Haley finally caught up to the squirrel. And then, as if time had stopped, she stumbled upon a sight that took her breath away.
There you are, the farmer— Y/n, she reminded herself, with your back hunched over as you fed the little guy a handful of wild walnuts that you had foraged from the forest.
No longer did you look like the poised and polished woman in your dress shirt, tie, and slicked-back hair. Instead, you wore a well-worn jumper over a faded farmer's shirt, with your hair loosely tied up in a haphazard ponytail. 
You looked... different.
It was as if you belonged in this community far more than Haley ever could.
Maybe it's the clothes, or maybe it's the way the little squirrel was so comfortable in your presence.
Before she knew it, Haley's body moved on its own, and she instinctively raised her camera to capture the moment. It was a picture-perfect moment that spoke to her soul, one that was raw, genuine, and brimming with vulnerability.
For years she hadn't seen something as picturesque and just raw and so vulnerable as this.
Suddenly, you whirled on your spot with wide eyes.
Wide, so gray, very surprised gray eyes, and your just as dark eyebrows rose so high it disappeared behind a thin curtain of bangs. The little squirrel darted behind a bush in fright, startled by the sudden flash of Haley's camera.
It felt like ages before Haley's fried brain decided that maybe it was time to finally move and stop making a fool out of herself for the second time around. You are just as frozen, your hands still holding three walnuts suspended in midair.
"Uhm," you started, voice soft and hesitant. Finally standing from your place, Haley could just stare at how tall you are in this proximity. You let out a small smile. "You're the girl with the camera yesterday, right?"
Haley could only nod. The words dying on her tongue. Her brain is still short-circuiting in all ways possible. 
"Oh..." Haley breathes out, her heart racing as she takes in the sight before her. "You're that new farmer girl or whatever, aren't you?"
Just how the hell did the gray get so green though? She wonders as your eyes bore into her with piqued curiosity. Was it the lighting and the green scenery that did it?
Good Yoba.
Is it possible for someone to be blessed with a nose this fine, so shapely up close? And don't even get her started on how a farmer could have such luscious, shiny hair when Haley has to spend hours just to get that shine and bounce that she likes.
What kind of mouth is that even? It's so small yet so plump. It doesn't look chapped though. You don't seem to be a lip gloss type, so you must be using chapstick regularly. That's good.
And wait, were you talking?
"Huh?" she mutters to herself, catching herself from zoning out once again. "Oh... I'm Haley." She manages to respond in what little she had caught up from your ramblings. 
She only understands the word grandpa, Zuzu City, Y/n, and new. 
You smiled and that's all that it took for the accumulating embarrassment to flush on Haley. It was too bright, too happy, too much and Haley couldn't handle all that.
For the first time, she's at loss for words, flustered, and was that her being nervous? 
In a desperate attempt to regain control, Haley shook her head vigorously, hoping to shake off the ridiculous embarrassment that was consuming her.
And what does Haley do when things don't go her way?
She sabotages.
So, it wasn't a surprise when Haley's mouth opened and the next words that came out were ones she never intended to say. It was a defense mechanism, a way to push people away before they could hurt her.
"If it weren't for those horrendous clothes, you might actually be pretty," she blurted out, regretting it as soon as the words left her lips.
Your smile evaporated in a split second and Haley almost missed it immediately.
Almost.
"Excuse me?" You looked offended, and Haley could easily admit that she didn't like your eyes when they were darkened like this. 
"Actually, never mind." She replied, steady and fast. Hoping the farmer didn't really hear her stupid comment. 
Just what the hell is wrong with me anyway?
You pursed your lips and went silent for a second or two as you turned and rummaged on your rucksack which Haley hadn't noticed before. "Here," you held out a freshly picked daffodil, and Haley almost swooned. Almost.
Her lips parted in a soft gasp. "For me?"
"Hmm. It kinda looks like you." 
Haley's lips curved into a small smile. "Thank you."
You hummed in acknowledgment, but you didn't return the smile. Had Haley gone too far with that comment earlier?
Haley rarely feels guilty. She always tells herself that she doesn't have anything to apologize for. Her parents didn't, so why should she?
But right now, that dreadful feeling came resurfacing. It's suffocating. 
The silence is suffocating.
"It's my grandpa's." After what seemed like forever, you turned to her with a small, almost nostalgic smile. You must have noticed Haley's questioning look. "These clothes are his," you clarified. "I moved here with nothing but myself after I decided spontaneously that I can't live a life as I had in Zuzu's." You gave out a low chuckle.
Oh.
That's why you looked like that yesterday. It makes sense now. The guilt now creeps on her like a palpable living force. Emily's words came echoing at the back of her mind.
Being mean can cost you more than you think.
The apology is at the tip of her tongue yet a small part of her, the mean one, kept telling her it was just a harmless comment and that she meant nothing of it. How could she know it was your grandpa's? Or that you suffered back in your old city and you're finding a fresh start here?
Because you didn't even give her a chance to know her before you judged her. This Emily conscience of hers is really starting to scare her. But she's right, she did judge you immediately. 
"I—"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be so grim." There's that smile again. "Uhm, sorry to cut this short but" you stared at your watch. "I still have to tidy the farm up; you know it's not exactly the cleanest place right now. I just took a break to feed the little guy. I'll catch you later, Haley."
Haley didn't even have the chance to say goodbye.
Or even apologize.
She sighed as she watched you retreat back to your farm.
****
"How do you say sorry?" Haley asked hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. She never saw Emily abandon her sewing machine that fast. In record time, she sat beside Haley who chews her bottom lip, clearly troubled. She barely even touched her fruit salad and that's something.
"What did you do?" was her only question yet Haley found herself telling her sister everything. 
Yep, today isn't a good day, too.

‘Goodnight, Miss.’
You bowed to the hotel staff in a polite manner, looking perfectly put together. They only saw your eyes anyway, with your habit of wearing a mask at all times. Especially now that you had all your makeup removed after the full day of interviews. As your skin got pretty sensitive, you didn’t like to walk around bare-faced where people could see. Or worse, take pictures.
Had anyone asked, you would say that you contained your excitement reasonably well. Considering how giddy you actually felt, knowing that your boyfriend was coming to visit tonight. Actually, you were so impatient that you texted him from the elevator.
‘I’m almost in my room. Where are you now?’
Baekhyun was actually supposed to be there before you, so you arranged a spare key to wait for him at the reception desk downstairs. Of course, you made sure that it was discreet. You left it in a sealed envelope stuffed with blank paper to be passed onto him as soon as he arrived. He didn’t text you back in the last thirty minutes, so you assumed he was probably still on his way.
Swinging the door open, you walked inside and instantly removed your shoes. Your legs were killing you after wearing high heels all day. Checking your phone again, you confirmed that no answer came through and decided to make a quick run for the bathroom.
Incredibly short – in your personal opinion – fifteen minutes later, you were all done. But there was still no response from your highly anticipated guest.
‘Where is he, dammit?’ You muttered under your breath, walking into the room to get fresh clothes.
But as soon as you turned the lights on…
‘Oh my g-’ You covered your mouth to silence yourself.
There, on the armchair, was a neat pile of clothes. Male clothes. Meanwhile, said male was… in your bed. Sleeping like a baby.
There he was, your unreachable boyfriend. Resting up well, instead of giving you a warm welcome as soon as you walked in.
As your heart rate returned to normal, you rolled your eyes. If he wasn’t making an effort to stay awake, you were going to change into comfy panties and a crop top, as sexy lingerie obviously wasn’t on the menu for tonight, and join him. Turning off the upper light, you left the wall sconces on both sides of the bed on. Just for a minute.
You crawled under the duvet, instantly embraced by the warmth generated by Baekhyun’s body.
Two assertive arms snaked their way around your body, hugging you tightly.
‘Oh- you’re awake?’ You whispered in surprise, being pulled deeper into his den.
‘M- ‘f course,’ he murmured, eyes still closed.
‘Yeah, right,’ you snorted, squeezing his bicep in mock frustration. ‘I see you grew tired of waiting for me…’
‘Not at all. Your pillows just smelled so nice. And I know you hate when I get on the bed wearing clothes.’ He said, and you nodded in agreement. ‘So, I showered and decided to surprise you.’
‘By sleeping in my bed?’
You huffed out a laugh, brushing his messy hair out of his eyes as he cracked one of them open.
‘I wasn’t supposed to be asleep.’ He began, watching you with just that one eye, like a sleepy pirate. ‘I had an entire performance planned.’
‘That so?’ You nudged.
‘Picture this: you walk in, and I’m already on the bed buck naked, holding a rock-hard dick in my hand. ‘Enjoy the ride’ banner right behind me.’
‘Oh gosh,’ you coughed. ‘I’m thankful you changed your mind.’
‘I didn’t. There was just no scotch tape. And while I was weighing the probability of you killing me in case I used bubble gum,’ he paused to catch your hand that could very well pinch him for the suggestion. ‘…I fell asleep. Just for a second. More like drowsed.’
‘Drooling all over my pillow?’ You teased, causing him to frown.
‘I only drool when I’m dreaming of eating you out, and we didn’t get to that tonight,’ he said in a tone that suggested it was obvious and you should’ve known better. ‘Drowsed for a sec, nothing more.’
You only chuckled, fingers tracing the lines of his face. His sharp jaw, his prominent cheekbones, his soft lips.
‘I missed you a lot, aegiya.’ He said out of nowhere, both eyes closed.
‘You saw me two weeks ago,’ you mumbled, becoming shy as soon as he used the pet name.
It was so strange, even after these past few months, to see him like this. How could anyone become so boyfriend-y all of a sudden? You had no idea Baekhyun even had a side like this when you decided to get into this relationship. He’d managed to surprise you in multiple ways already; him flying across the ocean just to see you was one of the examples.
‘Exactly. Don’t tell me you weren’t suffering through every single day away from me…’
His fingers traced the skin underneath your top, threatening to start tickling you, and you squirmed, pushing him away timidly.
‘Why are you so lovey-dovey out of the blue? Are you talking in your sleep?’
‘Hey, that hurts. The real question is, why aren’t you? Aren’t you happy to see your oppa?’ He kept tugging you closer as you resisted playfully.
‘Ew. I told you, I’m not calling you that.’
‘Why’s that,’ he leaned in to kiss your neck and you failed to push his face away.
‘Don’t be gross.’
‘You’re my aegi, and I’m older, so-’
‘There’s no kissing for oppas. Or anything else fun.’ You pressed, licking your lips. ‘Only for my boyfriend. Baekhyun.’
He looked at your mouth a second too long, before muttering a low.
‘I see.’
You swallowed, trapped in this demonstrative struggle.
‘I see how it is, Y/N.’ He repeated slowly, catching you off guard with a sudden tug to finally press your body to his. ‘You think you got me all soft for you, so now you can do whatever you wish, hm?’
You bit your lip, shivering in excitement. His voice sounded gentle but low. Whenever he used this tone, you knew it was time to be a good girl.
‘Please don’t scold me, Baekhyunie,’ you pouted, caressing his shoulder sheepishly.
‘You didn’t give me an answer. Are you happy to see me?’ He pulled away slightly to give you a sharp glance.
‘Of course.’
‘That’s it?’ His furrowed eyebrows made him look dissatisfied.
‘I missed you. A lot. Too.’ You mumbled, eyes wandering around his bare chest.
‘Why are you so flustered?’ He continued his questioning, not allowing you to move away from his slow offense. ‘Thinking dirty thoughts already?’
The exposed look on your face probably told him everything.
‘Aegiya,’ Baekhyun smiled, content with your reaction. ‘You’re so easy to mess with.’
‘No, I’m no-’ Your protest was interrupted by a quick kiss.
‘Yes, you are. The moment I lower my voice you turn into a cute little puddle,’ he stated with the most satisfied look on his face before nuzzling your neck. ‘You know what else turns you into a pool of hot mess?’
You whimpered, startled by the pressure of his fingers directly on your clit.
‘God, I missed you,’ he gritted, licking a stripe over your ribs and inhaling your scent.
‘Baek-’ You swallowed, latching onto his shoulder. ‘We can’t be loud here. The girls are on this floor, and what if someone-’
‘This is a five-star hotel, princess.’ He made sure to continue his descent despite your feeble protests.
‘It’s not completely sound-proof!’
‘Don’t worry. I’ll make it quick.’ He smirked, hooking the fabric of your panties with his thumb to get them out of the way.
Making it quick was worse. It meant he was going to go zero to one hundred in a snap of his dainty fingers, and you were in no way ready to handle it.
During the course of your rather new relationship, he’d managed to perfect his oral technique to such an extent that you had to literally refuse him the pleasures of the mouth whenever you were outside the privacy of your homes. It was just too risky. If someone was to hear you…
He tended to make your sessions extremely noisy.
‘Just relax. I know what I’m doing,’ he hummed before poking his tongue out and dragging it slowly over your slit.
‘Oh-’ You grabbed onto the duvet, and he did it again.
Not forgetting to slurp this time.
Biting hard on your lip, you tried to keep still. But even that didn’t help when his wet tongue flicked your engorged clit. You could see him already getting into it. His heavy-lidded eyes watched you through the blond strands, and his mouth opened wide as if he attempted to swallow your entire pussy.
You panted, trying to move away, but he held you securely in place by the hips.
Baekhyun’s breath became heavier and heavier, and the sound of it only made you go mad with the thrill. His tongue flattened out and he moved his head up and down to drag it over your core.
Just as you thought that this was bearable, he did the unexpected. He sucked your clit into his mouth harshly, coating the area with so much saliva you could feel it trickle down to your entrance.
‘A-ah!’ You flexed your abs and pressed at the back of his head, chasing the contact.
Instead of slowing down as he usually did, he continued increasing the intensity. His tongue ran up and down your core with urgency before his lips closed around your most sensitive spot again, sucking harshly and then breaking out into short licks.
‘Baek, stop- I can’t-’ You sobbed mid-sentence as he shook his head lightly, adding stimulation.
At this point, his own breathing was loud and labored, as if he was the one on the receiving end of this hustle.
But, as soon as your breaths became shallow and your muscles started to clench, he ripped himself away and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
‘I just love bringing you to the edge,’ he admitted, licking his lips hungrily. ‘cause then I don’t have to spare your pussy.’
He slapped your vulva abruptly, and you yelped from the jarring sensation, sitting up.
‘Ride me, baby,’ Baekhyun said, dropping on his back as you got on top of him readily.
You wanted to get this over with. You needed him to finish what he’d started.
‘Shit.’ He cursed as soon as you brought your thighs down. ‘Go on.’
Swaying your hips, you focused on the friction against your walls. He always felt so good inside you.
‘Let me help you a little,’ he suggested, taking hold of your pelvis to aid you in your movements.
Leaning onto his chest with your palms, you went as hard as you could. And his thighs met yours, sounding a skin-to-skin slap upon every fleeting contact.
‘M-Baek,’ you whined, messing up the pace.
‘Don’t slow down,’ he demanded, fingers digging into your skin.
‘I can’t-’
He put his palm onto your back and prodded you to lean forward, gaining enough momentum to start pounding into you from below.
‘Fuck.’ He gritted, ignoring your uncontrollable moans and the lecherous noises from where your skin met his.
Baekhyun’s eyes never left your body, and he kept his tempo for as long as he could.
‘Fuck- Fuck!’ He suddenly growled, and you shrieked as you became undone.
‘B-Baekhyun,’ you cried out, held solid by his hands while his dick kept nailing you.
Thankfully, your boyfriend was quick to follow you and find his release. You whimpered as he shook briefly, letting out only a strained grunt to signify that he was finished for now.
He rolled you over to rest on top of your body, his entire weight pushing you down, and kissed you deeply. Both your and his breathing was hectic, but it didn’t hinder the interaction. Your fingers traced his prickly nape, while his tongue played with yours.
You laid like that for a bit before he scrambled off of you, finally letting you breathe properly.
‘I really did miss you.’
He smiled as you said that, and leaned in to press a playful kiss to your nose.
‘I know.’
You poked his cheek in embarrassment. He was a really affectionate boyfriend, and you loved that about him. It did make you a bit bashful though. Strangely, more so than your crazy sex marathons.
‘Thanks for flying all the way here just for me.’
‘It wasn’t just for you. I got a couple gigs here for the next few days,’ he shrugged, and then added. ‘I might’ve gotten those after I bought flight tickets, but sh-h! I can’t let it go to your head.’
‘Why not?’ You pouted, stroking his collarbone.
‘Aegiya, you already behave like a little princess, we don’t want it to get any worse, do we?’
‘Am I not your little princess?’ You narrowed your eyes at him.
‘You are,’ he sighed in defeat. ‘I guess, you win.’
‘What did I win?’ You chuckled, pecking him on the chin.
‘I don’t know. What would you like?’
The answer came with no hesitation.
‘You.’
‘That’s cute,’ he snickered. ‘You already have me.’
‘Hm. Then I don’t need anything else.’
‘Ugh. You don’t even have to call me oppa. I’m already melting like an ice-cream cone in a warm hand.’
You snorted at his words, and he gave you a long look.
‘I wonder what you pictured just now.’
‘Baekhyun!’
‘Alright, you don’t have to tell me.’ He agreed quickly, beaming at you shamelessly.
You shook your head.
‘It probably has something to do with my dick anyways.’
At this you kicked him lightly with your knee.
‘Ouch. Love hurts.’
~~~
You and Baekhyun stayed up super late (as per usual), talking about your time apart, teasing each other and bickering about pet names. So, when it was time for you to wake up and start getting ready… You decided to have some more beauty sleep.
However, after you ignored a bunch of ‘check-in’ morning messages from your members, the usual procedure was carried out – they sent one of their own to wake you up.
‘Eonni, are you up? We have to move out in an hour.’ Your maknae’s voice reached you through the layers of bedcovers and Baekhyun, who was practically wrapped around you.
Baekhyun.
Opening your eyes, you rose on the bed and rubbed your face to get ahold of reality.
‘Eo- eonni?’
The youngest of the group stood frozen in front of your bed, eyes open wide. Even with your brain barely shaken out of sleep, you realized what stunned her.
The blond man in your bed, who had his arm wrapped around you still, stirred from the noise and laid on his back, stretching out before opening his eyes. Your gaze fell on his exposed chest, and you quickly pulled the duvet up to cover the eloquent scratch you must’ve left on his pec yesterday.
‘What’s going on?’ He asked groggily, and the third person in the room finally broke out of her lethargic state.
‘S-sorry!’ She turned around and sprinted out of your room as if a demon was chasing her.
You called after her, but the click of the door locking announced that she was already gone.
‘Ah, dammit.’ You sighed, rubbing your pulsing temple.
Baekhyun’s hand squeezed your thigh to draw your attention.
‘Sorry. I overslept and one of the girls came to wake me up. Go back to sleep, I’ll deal with it.’ You caressed his cheek gently before turning away to get out of the bed.
‘What are you going to do?’
That was the question you had been asking yourself.
‘I’m not sure,’ you admitted. ‘That was our maknae, so… she’s probably told the entire group already. She is… easily excitable.’
‘Maybe you don’t have to do anything.’ He said, looking up at you.
‘Hm?’
‘Just tell them the truth. You’re not a rookie, no one’s going to kick you out of the group or whatever.’
You sighed. He was right, of course, but… You were scared. Admitting that to your group and management would make all of this official, and there’d be no turning back after that.
‘…or, you can just forget I said that. You don’t have to tell them if you don’t want to.’
He sounded neutral, yet somehow you knew he only made it seem like he wouldn’t be hurt in this scenario. Baekhyun truly was perfect in those few months you were together, so there was no reason for you to doubt his intentions. And you also liked him, a lot.
Maybe this morning was more of a blessing than a curse?
‘I’ll tell them. I’m tired of sneaking around anyways.’
‘Really? I found that quite exciting. Being your secret lover. Sneaking into your room through the window and all that.’
‘That never happened,’ you laughed.
‘It could’ve!’
‘Shut up,’ you pecked his smiling lips and picked up your phone.
Dozens of new messages in your group chat.
‘Y/N, if you’re not telling us who that ‘blond oppa’ in your bed was, we’re coming over to your room! We’re dying over here!!’
You read the last message out loud to Baekhyun.
‘That’s why I refuse to call you that. As soon as I introduce you to them, it’s going to be ‘Baekhyun oppa’ all the time. I like to be special.’
‘Gotcha,’ he snickered. ‘But princess, text them back before the whole intervention committee walks through that door. I’m not exactly wearing underwear.’
‘Oh crap, I better.’

4/NOV/20XX
[It's Sans' handwriting. It's a bit messy at points, appearing as if the book was on an unsteady surface.]
heya.
been a minute, huh?
a lotta minutes, actually.
about two day's worth of 'em.
papyrus finally ungrounded me from writing.
got my phone back, too.
on the condition that i, uh.
stop setting alarms.
won't go into detail about it.
besides, i gotta talk about 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, right?
——
really do start a lot of these entries with 'woke up in x place, with x thing'.
....
it's another one like that.
this time, next to tori.
incredibly, i woke up before her.
the blanket over us looks like one of papyrus' spares.
haven't checked the time, but it must be early b——
[The line runs off the side of the page.]
....
hold on, i'm only able to use one hand, and this thing keeps slipping off my lap.
as much as i don't want to, gonna see if i can move my hand without waking her up.
——
[The writing returns to normal.]
ok. good now.
now that my nausea's subsided some, i realize i'm pretty hungry. but..
don't wanna move from this any more.
...
since she's still asleep.
——
"SANS, I-"
"(shh.)"
"(OH, SORRY.)"
"(I'M LEAVING TO TRAIN WITH UNDYNE. ACTUALLY, UNDYNE SAID SHE JUST WANTS TO TALK TODAY.)"
"(WHICH ISN'T TRAINING.)"
"(BESIDES THE POINT. I'M LEAVING, AND MS. TORIEL PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF YOU TODAY!")
"(i need a babysitter?)"
"(IT'S FOR YOUR SAFETY!!)"
"(YOU WERE... STILL SORT OF WOBBLY, YESTERDAY.)"
"(DO YOU NEED ANYTHING BEFORE I LEAVE?)"
"(nope, i'm good-)"
"(actually. could you hand me what i didn't finish eating last night?)"
"(you don't need to heat it up.)"
"(BUT-)"
"(paps, you should probably go before undyne gets mad at you, too.)"
"(besides, i like cold stew.)"
"(...ALRIGHT. IF YOU SAY SO.)"
after handing me a spoon and my half-bowl of beef stew, papyrus nodded goodbye and dashed out the door.
——
.....
it's real quiet.
not used to being up as early as papyrus usually leaves for.
just me and... sleeping tori.
she must be comfortable.
our couch 𝙞𝙨 pretty nice.
——
couldn't help but wonder who's watching tori's kids, so i messaged frisk.
in response, i got a picture of grillby in tori's kitchen. he's handing flowey something.
at the bottom of the picture was frisk, blurry and way too close to the camera.
"why're you so close"
they then sent a picture of them even closer, equally blurry.
i sent a blurry close-up back.
"Why are YOU so close?"
"yeah"
"Yeah."
"cool"
"Cool."
that kid's going places.
——
"Your influence is rubbing off on me, it seems. I am usually one to be up sooner!"
tori jolted up.
"Ah! I did not mean to keep you in one place this whole time."
"not like i was going anywhere."
i wanted to lean back against her, for some reason.
...
nope.
"What is it that you do all day, when you are stuck inside like this?"
"sleep."
"...I think we have done plenty of that."
"Surely that is not all?"
"me and paps usually play games or something."
"been getting real into this puzzle one."
"do you wanna play something?"
"I am not very good at games..."
"i'll pick somethin' easy."
——
"This is turning out to be quite the house!"
"if you ignore the dirt floor."
"..And the lack of proper opening doors."
"at least we have windows."
"..holes for windows."
"Which one is your room?"
"this one."
"..You have made your walls dirt, as well."
"only the finest of materials in this house."
"Of course."
"here, i made a bed for you."
"Oh! Do we need to sleep in this one? I think we may have missed a few nights."
"nah, it's for setting your respawn point."
"...?"
"when we die, we'll be here instead of really far away."
"I see."
she stared at the bed.
"....."
"It is just the one?"
"mine's in my inventory."
"Please, place it down! Set your, 'respawn point,' in the house with me."
i placed it in the corner of my dirt room.
"....."
she moved hers into there as well.
"........"
"What? Surely you did not expect me to sleep in the living room."
"...side by side?
"The dual bed looks much more comfortable, does it not?"
"i can make you another one, if you want."
"........"
"No."
"This arrangement is good, I think."
"Space efficient!"
"....ok."
——
"Sans."
"yep?"
"Why are there holes everywhere?"
"avoiding death."
"You did not fix them."
"i'll get around to it."
"....."
"Nevermind."
"nevermind?"
"I am tempted to change our living arrangement."
"this poor dog would grow up in a broken home."
"You are its father now too?"
"you're its father?"
"Ha! Sure. Yes, I am the father."
"......"
"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU EVEN DOING?"
"O-Oh! Papyrus!"
"didn't hear you come in."
"YES, WELL, YOU SEEMED QUITE OCCUPIED WITH.. WHATEVER THIS IS."
"I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT."
"I'M GOING TO GET CHANGED, AND THEN I'LL BE RIGHT BACK DOWN."
i waited until paps was fully in his room.
then i ran inside, took my bed, and placed it a space away.
tori ran her character up to me (with the default skin) and punched me in my (also-default) face.
"ow."
"It is in the game!"
"would you punch me if you could?"
"No!"
"I would do this."
and she moved her character closer, nearly face-to-face with mine.
struggling to use the hotbar, she eventually threw a flower at me.
silly, sure.
but it..
made me really happy.
....
wish it didn't.
——
"Papyrus is here to watch you now, so.."
"...going home?"
"Unfortunately."
"THANK YOU FOR KEEPING AN EYE ON HIM, MS. TORIEL."
"Of course. It was a pleasure."
"Sans, thank you for playing with me. I had a lot of fun!"
"Even if we did not actually accomplish very much."
"come by anytime you wanna play again."
——
she messaged me to ask if i ended up moving the bed back or not.
....
more space efficient like that, anyway.

@strawbubbysugar I should be sleeping but I can't so I threw together a quick fic of a personal head cannon I have of your au. (I have grey/blue eyes so i think it'd be cute that the reader has grey eyes and after the reader confirms Moon as their soulmate blue starts to appear in them)
This is after Moon soulmate confession while Sun is still not confirmed. I hope you like it!
It's during a small break you're spending with Sun that he notices something different about you. At first you don't really pay attention to it. Continuing to talk about what you enjoy about being a mechanic. Despite the handicaps of being colorblind, you enjoy working with wires. Fixing the little panels that get bent out of place and replacing components with newer better models, all things that bring fun into your work. You're about to continue on about the intricacy of soldering wires together when Sun interrupts you. It's not the energetic and soft way you're used to his speaking with. No he calls your name with awe and surprise, making you turn to look at him with a small smile and raised eyebrow.
"What's up Honeybee?" 
You're not too bothered by the interruption. He always listens to you so well and always so interested in whatever you say that you're curious what could distract him enough to get your attention.
"Your eyes…they're different."
Out of reflex, you touch a hand across your eyes feeling for any scratches or bits of scrap covering them. A pretty common occurrence. But you feel nothing so you pull your phone out of your back pocket and open the camera. And you don't really notice anything unusual. You're still the same shades of grey you always are and nothing is out of place. Shifting your eyes back to Sun, you let concern coat your words as you reach a hand out to his face. You're careful not to touch him unless he wants you to and he leans forward without hesitation to rest his cheek against your hand.
"You sure your sensors are working correctly? I don't see anything that unusual. I can take a quick look and fix it up?"
It takes him a moment to process your words and then he's pulling away, gripping your hand in his own a little tighter than comfortable as if he doesn't want to let go.
"No, no! Everything's working fine, I promise! It's just your eyes have a swirl of blue in them."
You give him a smirk and tease lightly.
"And that is different from normal? I can't exactly see what color my eyes usually are Sunny."
He tilts his head to the side and then drops your hand, reaching out instead for your phone. You glance from him to your phone then give it over to him easily. He takes it eagerly and slides up next to you, a little closer than is appropriate. You feel heat rise to your cheeks and you stifle the movements of your fidgeting hands. Don't think of how nice it is to have him close, to touch shoulders. Think of Moon and how happy you are to even have a soulmate. You shouldn't regret not having another. He pulls your attention away with a finger pointing to your eyes displayed on the phone screen.
"Look here," and he traces a swirl of darker grey around your pupil that you missed before. "This is blue. It's quite pretty…Ah, but the usual color is grey. It reminds me off the pictures the kids show me of storms. Grey mixed so prettily with blue."
Transfixed, you trace a finger along the swirl and resist doing the same to your actual eye. 
"Pretty?" You look into his eyes with wonder. "I can't imagine it…"
There's a slight pull of sadness in your chest as you try to conceptualize what it would look like and fail. You've had your whole life to get used to being different and you manage for the most part, but for some reason calling it pretty makes you desperate to know more. Loud whirring of his fans startles you out of the thoughts and you pull away slightly embarrassed for a reason you can't explain. 
He's turned away from you now with your phone held out for you to take and you do so. The screen feeling too cold against the heat of your flusterment. Then he's pulling away, going off to the children's nook.
"Sun?" 
You call out hesitantly, worries that you pushed him away somehow. He shuffles through a box of papers and pulls a stack out, triumphantly shouting a little and holding it over his. Skipping back over to you quickly, he shows you the first paper. It's a children's drawing, the lines wonky and crooked but you can easily identify the clouds and water droplets falling down.
"Whenever there's a storm, the kids like to draw the storm clouds and rain! A few have left their drawings here for me to keep!" He pulls out another drawing, but this one has a little girl splashing in a puddle. "I can't quite find the best visual aid, but the swirl is kind of like the ripple of this puddle. I can imagine a few drops of rain landing in the puddle of your eyes dyeing it with blue!" 
He taps the drawing funnily with his fingers and makes little droplet noises and you laugh at the silliness.
"Is that so?"
"Mmhm!" He nods fervently and his sun rays spin lazily as he looks fondly into your eyes. "Very pretty!"
And wow, is it hotter in here? Because it feels like it's 10 degrees hotter. You flash him a nervous smile and fan yourself, making an excuse to escape the feelings bubbling inside you.
"Oh hahaha um suddenly I'm feeling quite hot, I should go get some water. My breaks pretty much over anyway. SeeYouLater!"
You rush out of the daycare as fast as you can without outright running away and you miss Sun reaching out to you, the words asking you to come back getting stuck in his throat as Moon begins to Wreck havoc in his thoughts

ᓚᗢCHAP 13 — guess you're doomed
summary: Kai, one of your closest friends, invites you as a plus one to one of his best friend's birthday party. but the bday boy is kinda cute…can you steal his heart?
Tumblr media
The classroom buzzed with anticipation as the teacher wrote equations on the chalkboard. You, Jiung, and Haerin sat in your usual spots, exchanging glances and stifling yawns as the morning dragged on.
Jiung leaned in, whispering, "Yo, Y/N, you excited to see my best friend at lunch today." he asks, messing with you as if you don't have a crush on beomgyu. still, he meant well, just trying to ease your feelings and try to make the situation into something it isn't.
You rolled your eyes, keeping your voice hushed. "totally."
Haerin chimed in, her excitement evident. "y'know I'm so excited to actually meet beomgyu instead of watching you look at him longingly"
"When have I ever??"
"does a certain birthday party ring a bell?"
"oh my god. Don't make me think of that party. reminds me of the fact rami exists."
"Just think of the good things that happened at the party, y/n."
"literally what good things???"
"you'll have to get over Rami eventually y/n." jiung says nonchalantly. "she's not exactly going anywhere."
"Okay, yeah. but what if she sits with us today? and tells beomgyu I said we're dating??? how will I get over that??"
"oh damn, guess you're doomed."
haerin looks at jiung giving him a look to shut the fuck up. "don't say that. yesterday might've been a one-time thing, okay? stay positive." she reassures you, putting her hand on yours in an attempt to comfort you.
Just then, the teacher turned around, and you all hurriedly straightened up, returning your attention to the equations on the board. The morning class continued, but in the back of your mind, you wondered how you could navigate the lunchtime situation without causing any more unwanted drama.
Tumblr media
The lunch bell rang, and you, Haerin, and Jiung made your way to the cafeteria, joining Beomgyu who was already seated in. He looked up from his phone, a smile spreading across his face. "Hey, guys! Glad you could make it."
"Hey, Beomgyu," you greeted him with a warm smile as you took a seat. Jiung and Haerin followed suit.
Before you could even start a conversation, Rami walked over, a sly grin playing on her lips. She took a seat next to Beomgyu, who seemed surprised by her sudden appearance.
"Mind if I join you guys?" Rami asked sweetly, though her eyes held a mischievous glint.
Beomgyu nodded, trying to be polite. "of course, you can sit with us rami." as he tells her that you remember they're probably friends by now. so of course, beomgyu would let her sit with him without hesitation.
As the lunch progresses, you can't help but feel tense, knowing that Rami was aware of the lie you had told her about dating Beomgyu. You focused on your food, hoping she wouldn't bring it up in front of beomgyu, trying to avoid confrontation.
Rami, however, seemed determined to stir the pot. She leaned in closer to Beomgyu, her voice low and conspiratorial. "So, Beomgyu, I was just wondering, are you still single?"
Beomgyu blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting this question. "Uh, yeah, I am."
Rami's eyes glittered with mischief as she turned her attention to you. "That's interesting because Y/N here told me something different yesterday."
Your heart races, and you exchange a worried glance with Haerin and Jiung. Rami had just hinted at your lie, and you had no idea how to respond.
You bite your lip, feeling cornered. "I just thought you had a girlfriend. you're pretty and nice enough to have one too."
Rami let out a mocking laugh, a triumphant glint in her eyes. "Oh, really? Well, isn't that convenient, Y/N? Seems like you can't make up your mind."
Beomgyu, sensing the tension, tried to mediate. "it was just a misunderstanding rami. there's no need to make a big deal out of it." he says, trying to take your side on the situation even if he doesn't see the whole picture.
Jiung nodded in agreement, "Yeah rami, that could've just been private y'know?"
Despite the attempt to move on, Rami's snarky remark had added a layer of tension to the lunch table. the conversation continued about a different topic but You couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for the lie you had told, but it seemed like you were all stuck in this awkward situation for the time being.

WIP Wednesday - "a gossip girl moment iykyk"
Holy shit - if you can believe it I have a WIP to post! I got possessed Sunday morning while I was rotting in bed riding the high of getting zapped the night before and wrote 900 words of Aaron/Smartass meet-cute turn meet-ugly (maybe that's not the right term. whatever. who cares.) (me. i care.)
@romirola thank you for tagging me and sorry this is super late! tagging @autisticempathydaemon @mr-laveau @penncilkid @zozo-01
Credit to @mr-laveau for letting me snatch up their Aaron and Smartass (Shara, she/her/hers pronouns, my WIFE) for this fic because I am pretty sure it made Aaron/Shara as a personal attack to me specifically. I can't improve perfection, sorry.
Anyway ummmmmm here it is! As usual, I don't write things that are safe for work so minors DNI, take a fruit snack on the way out.
CW: mentions of sexual content including BDSM/Kink, this fic is hilarious to me specifically
And they did. It was a good night, the memories of his hands skirting over her ribs colored with wistfulness and longing and the knowledge that she had gone home floaty and light and used her vibrator two times until it had died. He had warmed her up with the heavy thuds of a flogger and the even timber of her voice, but she slipped into that space with the rhythmic stings of the thin bamboo cane on her thighs. After he had rubbed ointment on her nicely forming welts and massaged her shoulders, she'd rested her head in his lap as they debriefed and talked. She would be sure to contact him if she felt she was dropping, she had a plan for support if she was dropping. Yes, she was pretty sure she would ask to do another scene. Yes, she wanted pictures of her back and thighs covered in bright marks from his handiwork.
They'd messaged that Saturday and Sunday, discussing their next scene and scheduling. It had seemed so perfect. Monday morning, she rubbed ointment on her ass and thighs, gotten dressed, and walked into work. She'd greeted her new coworkers, met with the office manager, and waited for her new manager at her new office job at Vesta at her new desk. "Thank you for your patience, I was wrapping up a phone call with a client. Shara, I'm Aaron." She turned around and stood up, reaching out automatically for a handshake, only for them to both be frozen.
Long, thick black hair, pulled back into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck. His eyes were wide and the dark circles were new, but she recognized the glasses and the faint scar under his eye. He cleaned up nice in a suit, crisp white button down with a green tie and sleeves rolled up to his elbows to expose forearms she knew were powerful from experience. Not so simple then, with [Aaron's username], actually Aaron, her new manager standing in front of her with his welts tingling on her ass.

You're supposed to be rivals Pt.2
Bf bam x fem skater gf
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(this is the vibe i imagine)
Somehow you've managed to drag Bam out of bed early so he can go with you to the promo shoot your manager is insisting on. You had April help you with your hair first, now your boyfriend is sitting on the bathroom counter watching you do your makeup as if it's the most interesting thing he's ever seen. “Babe I feel like I don't tell you this enough but you're so hot.” You lean over to kiss him leaving him with bright red lipstick that you wipe off with the sleeve of your sweatshirt before he forgets “I've gotta get dressed and you need to fix your bed head before we leave.” He looks in the mirror before following you back into his bedroom, “Well if you didn't want my hair to be this messy you wouldn't have your hands tangled in it for hours every night.” You roll your eyes and start to get dressed, “Keep it up Margera and that won't happen again for a while.” He steals a kiss and actually starts to get ready himself, “Okay okay no need to make threats, especially when I have to look at you like this all day.” You smile and pull on a pair of socks not wanting to have to wear heels the whole way to the shoot, “Thankfully I have skate shoes in your car. This is really impractical like who's gonna skate dressed like this?” You shrug grabbing your nice heels and he grabs his keys and guides you out of the room, “impractical but hot.” The two of you get in his car and head to the shoot, as he parks the car you touch up your makeup in the rearview mirror and can feel his pretty blue eyes burning holes into you, “Bammy you’re staring more than usual.” He smiles and looks over his sunglasses at you, “I can’t help it babe, I mean you’re always hot and this is different.” You roll your eyes taking off your socks and replace them with the tall black heels, “Just don’t get too used to it babe this is wayyy too much effort to be a common occurrence.” You pull him into a quick kiss then climb out of the car, he rushes to your side like a puppy still eyeing you up and down as he slips his hand into yours. Your manager rolls his eyes the moment he spots you and rushes over, “About time you got here come on!” Adjusting your bodysuit you make a face behind his back as you follow him to the skate ramps, “this whole thing was your idea so don’t complain it took so long for me to get ready. I’m here, I look hot let’s do this.” You’re rushed onto the makeshift set and handed a skateboard to pose with, the photographer hyping you up as Bam stands next to her grinning with his eyes glued to you the entire time and not so sneakily taking pictures on his phone as well. Once she shoot is over you sigh and sit down on one of the boards and kick off your heels, Bam strides over with your socks and your “emergency”pair of DCs (skate shoes) from his car, “we could go home and have a real skate sesh on the ramps if you want but my one request is that you keep the outfit on for a while.” You smile and he helps you up after you put your shoes on, “I think I can work with that.” As you kiss him your manager walks up with his arms full of boards, “ before you even say anything I don’t care about you two just don’t let it affect your skating and remember on completion days you two hate each other from the moment you enter the event until you skate, understood?” Bam tries to pretend he’s listening but you know he’s not. You nod at your manager and he pushes the 5 boards into Bam’s arms, “These are yours, you’re free to go home and be out of my hair for the day.” Bam cracks up a bit and mumbles, “you mean lack of hair.” Your manager shoots him a look, “you said something?” You both stifle laughter and turn towards where he parked. As soon as you get to the car you punch his arm, “Really Bam.” His smile matches yours and he tosses the boards into the back seat, “What? I’m not wrong, Dico has more hair than that guy!”

Tumblr media
bang chan—...
Chan have no say in what you wear. Whether it be clothes, or makeup, or jewellery. He didn't care, the only thing matter was your happiness.
Being the quite feminine type, you like wearing dresses and skirts, not much a jeans person.
A skirt you just bought came through the mail, it was a bit shorter on you when you tried it on. Around your mid-thigh where the fabric stopped, if you bend down or lift your leg, you could easily flash someone.
"Baby, I usually have nothing on what you want to wear, but aren't that skirt a little short?" Chan showed his concern, looking up-and-down at the almost provocative article of clothing.
"I'll be fine, don't worry too much." Of course, creeps are everywhere and anywhere. As you passed by a middle-aged man while walking hand-in-hand with Chan down the streets.
You heard a 'click', one from the camera of a phone. You held onto Chan's arm, silently notifying him that something was wrong.
He called the man, "Sir, can I talk to you for a second?" The man continued to walk like nothing happened. Being polite was an option, but maybe he was too nice.
Chan grabbed the man, "Sir, I need you to delete that picture from your phone." He tried staying as calm as he possibly can, not wanting to make a scene in public.
"What picture? Leave me alone!" The man yelled loudly, overreacting the situation.
Chan didn't give up, proceeded to push farther. "Sir, I know you took a picture of my girlfriend's skirt, I want you to delete it." At this point, his anger was building up gradually. Getting physical with an middle-aged man wasn't the best idea, he rather solve it in peace and privately.
The man grunted, taking out his phone. He deleted the photo, about to leave, before Chan demanded that he permanently remove the sensitive image of you.
He thanked the man, and left with you. Chan took off his hoodie, wrapping it around your waist. "Next time, please wear something longer, baby."
Tumblr media
lee know—...
He adores when you wear provocative clothing, however, that would mean he's very possessive and over-protective over you.
When you wear sexy things like dresses that hugged your curves, mini skirts, bralettes. It would turn him on to an undeniable level, too, he would be easily pissed if someone were to touch or simply stare at you.
Someone took a picture up your skirt? He would actually kill them. That was what happened, some guy was standing behind you and held his phone near your skirt during a queue, he was at a distance that was close enough to grope you.
Minho, standing in front and talking to you, saw the whole situation in clear view. Swapping spots with you, he stood menacingly as he confronted the guy.
"Did you really just took a picture of my girlfriend right in front of me?" He asked, clearly annoyed.
The stranger smirked, "Yeah, so? I thought she looks pretty." Anger, definite anger rose inside of him like a boiling kettle.
Out of rage, Minho swung his fist, knocking the perverted man to the floor. Everyone in the queue turned to watch everything unfold, including you.
"What the fuck, man?" The guy yelled, confused and hurt by some girl's boyfriend.
He came close and personal with the guy—who was hugging his face in pain on the floor, "Yeah, I know that she's pretty. But if you didn't shove your camera up my girlfriend's skirt then I wouldn't have punch the shit out of you."
You held him back from actually murdering the stranger, Lee Minho was terrifying when he's angry.
Tumblr media
changbin—...
Being buff, and being a person full of wrath. That was Changbin, he could easily beat the living fuck out of someone if he didn't feel like peace was an option.
But he's not always angry, he's a generally adorable person. Though he might look like he could put you in a chokehold at any given second, he have a gentle touch and a warm heart.
You were performing during a music festival alongside Stray Kids. You danced and sang your heart out on stage, your passion burned like fire. You hyped up the audience, they screamed your group's name.
While performing, you notice a fan who was holding a camera at a uncomfortably low angle, you were sure they were taking up-skirt photos of you and your members since you all were performing in mini skirts and body tight dresses.
You continued, as you couldn't do anything about it at the moment.
You saw your boyfriend in the audience, stopping the fan with security guards by his side. The fan was escorted out as soon as Changbin must chimed in.
You were glad that you have him, and were glad that he didn't have to resort to violence.
Tumblr media
hyunjin—...
He would feel a little conflicted about what you wear. He didn't want to be that controlling boyfriend that force you to wear this or wear that. Dress conservative not provocative, don't wear clothes that show your shoulders, cover them.
But he's worry for your safety, he is aware of those creeps and perverts that lingers on the streets out in public. The outside world was full of odd people, some were even terrible.
He expressed his anger when someone took a sensitive picture you, calm yet confronting them by a very passive aggressive manner.
A king who live for drama, was definitely not into this kind of drama. Not those situations where he could get physical at any possible moment.
Demanding them to delete the picture completely, must not leave a single trace, or else he would report them to the police for sexual harassment
Tumblr media
han—...
Already not as good with being in the public, having to deal with undesirable situations such as this one was giving him a literal panic attack.
But he was your boyfriend, he was supposed to be able to protect you like the person who he was taught to become. Yet, only telling them off was not doing for him.
You held his hand to reassure him that everything would be alright, as long as you're here, nothing can harm him.
Finally have enough courage and confidence, he proceeded to initiate the confrontation. "Excuse me, sir? I need you to discard that picture of my girlfriend from your phone." He requested politely, though shaking, his voice was stable.
"And what if I don't?" The stranger retorted, ready to fight.
"I can tell the authority about this." Holding up his phone, which already had the police on speed dial. He wasn't one who fight strangers on the streets, he played safe but effective.
The man groaned, deleting the distasteful image from his phone.
"Permanently, sir." Jisung told. Gone and resolved, why can't people just have basic human decency?
Tumblr media
felix—...
Everyone all understand that Felix have a pretty and soft appearance, you too. In contrast, his voice and aura is deep and intimidating. Never judge a book by its cover, you will always surprise yourself in the process.
You never thought a fellow idol would be that daring on live broadcast. Taking pictures up your skirt behind your back, luckily, you were wearing safety shorts like most female idols do when performing in skirts and dresses. Still, it was super inappropriate behaviour for someone with such influence on the young generation.
You and Felix was secretly dating, hiding your relationship from the public's eyes. There were only suspicions, none confirmation so far. You two were doing well to say.
Being chosen for MC for a music show, you, Felix, and another lesser known idol stood on stage together with mics. But before the camera began to roll your parts, another camera was clicking and taking photos.
You, weren't aware of anything except the show you were on, not knowing the problem occurring behind your back.
Felix noticed almost instantly, he told off the idol beside you. Threatening that your company would sue him, and the public would hear about this.
"This is not okay, can you please delete the picture." Felix whispered, "Or else." In his deep voice, sounded scarier than originally planned.
The male idol was afraid of how well Felix handled the situation, followed his words, not wanting to get his career ruin.
Tumblr media
seungmin—...
Seungmin is usually a sweet and cute boy, except when he's pissed off. he can look absolutely terrifying when he's angry.
"Dude, stop taking picture of my girlfriend." He grunted in annoyance, furrowing his brows to clearly express his current emotion.
He glared at the man that took a up-skirt picture of you, "Don't make me throw hands." He threatened, eyes flaring with ordered wrath.
Seungmin, by appearance solely, doesn't seem as fit as he actually is. He worked out, he is not as frail and weak as outsiders assume him to be. Fighting was no big deal, easily could beat the living fuck out of someone if he really wanted to.
The way he looked so scary then, with his gentle eyes became dark, and expression became cold and ready to kill. The man, too, didn't to cause a scene; obediently deleted the picture of you. Seungmin was so close to throw a harsh punch to the man's face, at least he listened to him.
Tumblr media
i.n—...
Even with being young, he know what is right and what is wrong. He know, for a fact, that taking pictures up girl's skirts were unacceptable. Worse, it was you—his girlfriend—that received this treatment.
He tried being nice at first, politely asking the man that took the picture to stop and delete it, did not work. Jeongin pushed a little farther, still useless.
At his last straw, "Sir, delete the picture, I'm only asking one more time." The man continued to deny all accusation of taking inappropriate photos of your skirt.
"That's it." Jeongin took off his jacket, knocking the man down with his fist. Snatching the phone from the man's hands, he went in photo to dispose the picture himself.
You pulled him back, "Baby, why did you do that?! He's going to sue us!"
Jeongin threw the phone back to its owner, "You matter more!" He held you hands, walking away with you.

Tag Game To Better Know You! Send this to people you'd like to know better!
Tagged by @loudobjectprincess , thank you for the tag friend ^_^
What book are you currently reading?
I'm a really slow reader so I don't really get on well with books that are all text 😅 but if we're taking outside of just wordy fiction I'm finishing the first volume of Dorohedoro and I'm also hooked on my latest art book about Magritte
What do you usually wear?
Collar shirts or polo neck jumpers, trousers with braces, boots to the mid shin, and long coats of various colours. In warmer weather I'm all about boiler suits and cropped jackets. Also bandanas/headscarves
How tall are you?
Six foot
What's your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or historical event?
I'm a Libra, and I have no idea if anything special happened on my birthday historically
Do you go by your name or a nickname?
Most people call me Eden, but I have an adorable array of pet names from my close friends, especially the trans ones ^_^
Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be as a child?
Aside from being a woman, I don't really know. I can't remember really having a job goal in mind that I ever took seriously right up until I started studying as a restorer, which turned out to be the perfect job for me. Although ideally I'd have the time, money, and sufficient mental health to be a full time painter or maybe a forger because it's way more fun
What's something you're good at vs something you're bad at?
I'm a pretty damn good shot, but I'm rubbish at virtually every other sport that exists or will exist
If you draw/write, or create in any way, what's your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you've created this year?
Motivation and spare time to paint has been pretty scarce these days, but I did start a study of one of the Breakdown Gang from Disco Elysium which is coming along nicely but that I ultimately need to finish
Tumblr media
Dogs or cats?
Dogs
What's something you'd like to create content for?
I wanted in the past to start a video series looking at my favourite allegorical art pieces, I had a theme and format all planned, and there is actually a video on YouTube where I tried it out that's still viewable, but ultimately it didn't stick. I do like the video essay format when used to study paintings though
What's something you're currently obsessed with?
Battlefield 1, I refuse to apologise damn it it's fun and it cost me €3
What's something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?
I dunno, the temporary exhibitions at the Kunsthalle have been pretty naff this year honestly
What's a hidden talent of yours?
Pffffttt no idea, am I good at things? Do I have hidden talents? I'm pretty good at the board game Azul, does that count?
What's something you wish to have at this moment?
Thinking utility wise, either a decent sewing machine or a Note 10 phone or whichever is the latest one that has a pen so I could make digital art on the go.
I'll tag @dentalhickory @sweetpuddincake @lark-in-ink @clowngirlhonkers and @dragonatioor but absolutely don't feel pressured to follow up if you don't want to

Starry Sky From Way Up High
Fandom: 5 Seconds Of Summer
Setting: When they were in Korea at the glass floor
Pairing: Michael and Luke (Friends, not lovers)
Summary: Michael was pretty sure he made a mistake agreeing to go up there. As if it weren't bad enough that he was scared, he also had vertigo and felt dizzy and nauseas when he could see how high he was. Usually Calum helped him out during his anxiety and panic attacks, so it really didn't help that Calum was also not the hugest lover of heights. Luke was happy to step in though, having always been slightly jealous that Michael always went to either Ashton or Calum when he needed something.
The before after and a few in betweens of 5SOS' time on the glass floor, where Luke is the only reason Michael was able to stay up there. THEY DO NOT END UP TOGETHER.
We hadn't even made it onto the elevator yet and I could already tell that both Michael and Calum were regretting this. Mike had gone quiet other than the occasional comment about how he's scared or feels like he's about to go on some ty ride. Calum just seemed stressed in general about it.
"How high is this again?" Michael asked and Ashton double-checked on his phone.
"555 meters, if I googled the right thing," He said, laughing slightly.
"Damn… it feels like I'm about to get on a roller coaster," Michael answered, this is the third time he'd said something like that and I'm pretty sure the people editing are going to cut it out.
"We'll be fine, it's not that bad," Ashton said, busy trying to take pictures of everything on the way. Maybe me and him will be fine, Calum looks like he'd rather be anywhere but about to do this, and Michael looks like he's about to either pass out or puke and isn't sure which.
"More doors?" I commented as we walked through about the fourth door and still weren't at the elevator yet.
"A bit secure for just going up a tower, not that these doors would be good security, only the first one had a lock," Calum responded. The people leading us took us to the actual elevator.
"You four will go up here alone, camera people will be waiting up there for you, you with the red hair? You can be the one filming until we get up there," He said to Ashton, we all had our own little cameras but Ashton is the only one who really uses it unless we're split up and need to record our individual experiences.
"What's this?" Ashton asked as a video on the wall began playing, all the walls turned out to be made of screens, "Oh it's showing the city being built, that's really cool,"
I also thought it was cool and was looking around at it, Calum seemed to think it was nice but didn't like all the sudden turn-like things in the perspective, and Michael didn't like it at all.
"I can't even look at it…" Michael mumbled, looking down at his feet and I saw him go to put his hands over his ears for some reason before changing it to messing with his hair.
I covered my microphone and leaned over to ask him if he's okay, he nodded slightly but not very convincingly. That will probably be edited out too.
"We have arrived," I hear Michael say, obviously trying to mask his fear. Ashton takes the lead as we walk out, I follow him and Calum follows me. Michael hesitates but comes out with us. He almost follows us to the edge but when I look back he's not with us anymore. I expected Calum to follow him but saw that Ashton was dragging him onto the platform instead of letting him go to Michael.
"Luke..?" I hear that it's Michael. He's sitting in a corner facing a wall so he can't see out the windows. I'm slightly annoyed because I know we'll have to refilm getting off the elevator but I know he can't help it. I'm also surprised though, that he called me and didn't instead beg Ashton to let Calum come over.
"Yeah?" I ask, looking back over at Ashton and Calum, Ash is enjoying holding Calum next to the glass, neither are on it but he's holding Calum right on the edge so he's forced to look.
"Help," He begs, grabbing onto me. I don't know what he means by I sit down next to him.
"Help with what?" I asked, he seemed close to tears and I wasn't sure what to do.
"I don't know.. just help," He said desperately and I leaned over to hug him.
"I don't know what you need me to do Mike, I'd do it if I could," I tried to get him to tell me what he needed but he wouldn't. He just sat with me and eventually ended up crying while I hugged him.
"You guys need to get him to calm down and then refilm the entrance," A film person said, they seemed quite annoyed by this whole thing.
"Do you want us to help or do you got it?" Ashton asked, "Calum went to use the bathroom but I can stay and help with him," Ashton helping would make it easier, but this is one of the first times Michael has chosen me to be the one calming him down and helping him.
"I'm good, you go get us a snack though?" I asked, I'm hungry and Michael might be, he often is hungry without realizing it until he's super hungry. Ashton nods and walks away, now it's just me and Michael up here.
"Mikey, we have to do this. I know you don't want to but we have to. What would help? Is there anything I can do to make this easier?"
"Uhm.. Can you just try and find something for me to do? Like if I was on the edge, because I'm not getting on the glass, and got scared. Something I should do?" He answered softly.
"How about this? The sky looks the same from the ground and up here. If looking straight or down is scary, look at the stars and the moon. They look the same so you'll feel on the ground again. Like when we used to sleep outside and have band camping trips, we'd look at the stars and count them or see what shapes we could find. Especially when Ashton would get worried about leaving his family home there alone, we'd have him see what he could find up there," Michael was listening carefully and then leaned against me and looked up, from where we were sitting, we had a perfect view so we sat there together for a few minutes until he was ready.
(Time skip to towards the end)
"Hey you're killing it," I said, surprised to see Michael stepping out onto the glass, he was walking on a line and I saw him starting to get off-balanced as he stared at the floor, I glanced up as a reminder and he looked forwards but I could tell his eyes were pointed up towards the sky. He looked up for a few moments then back over and grabbed Calum's hand, he grabbed mine too.
"Don't leave me, stay here," He said to us and we both stood with him until he'd had enough and ran back to "safety". It sucks but we have to act like he's not actually scared and just messing around to make the fans happy.
"Ash don't do it! Don't fall Ash!" I heard Michael sort of yell, it's obvious he's actually bothered by what Ashton is doing but acting like he isn't. I look to see what Ashton's doing, he's pretending to fall over on the clear floor and Michael did not like that.
After we messed around a bit, while Michael watched and Calum occasionally stepped off more a moment to check on him, it was time to finish. We were supposed to stand at the edge of the glass where it was hard floor but the glass was right in front of us.
"Do I have to?" Michael whispered to me, trying not to get picked up by the mics. The less there is to edit out the better.
"Yeah, but remember what I told you? Look at the sky. It's been helping hasn't it? See if you can find any extra bright stars or shapes or something," I answered, he nodded but then frowned.
"We're supposed to look out at the city, if I'm looking up people will notice,"
"You can look up with your eyes but have your head straight, you don't have to look exactly down, just have your head straight so it looks like you're looking at the buildings,"
"Okay... if you think it'll help. I'll try," I guess it did help because he didn't freak out or anything, although he did sort of panic in the elevator on the way down. Probably just letting out the feelings he'd been hiding once he was allowed.
"Thanks for helping me when we were up there," Michael said quietly once we were back in the hotel, we ended up getting one big room for all four of us that has 3 beds and take turns sharing, with all the sightseeing we want to do it's best to save some money like that.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" I responded and he shrugged.
"I don't know, I'm just happy you did, and that actually gave me something to use in the future. It would work during the day too I think, looking at the clouds. Although stars are prettier,"

Category: SMUT (18+) Content: Strong language, oral sex (female receiving), penetrative/unprotected sex, someone is misgendered (nothing too bad, it’s very brief, and it’s sincerely apologized for by the person who misgenders) Word Count: 4.2k
MASTERLIST
NOTE: This is my 2nd entry for Pom’s ( @imagining-in-the-margins ) Enemies To Lover’s Writing Challenge! This one was one of the prompts she provided: You and (Character)'s kids don't get along, so you have to have a talk. Turns out you... really really get along... and I couldn’t wait to tackle it! I believe my exact words were: “I’m gonna Parent Trap these bitches”... So do with that what you will lol
———
"I'm so sorry I'm late!"
Two heads turn to stare at me as I burst through the doors. I'm out of breath from running through the building, something the staff really didn't seem to appreciate, though their shouts and annoyed glances were the last thing on my mind.
As I try to catch my breath, the two heads stand, and suddenly I feel a lot smaller.
One of them I recognize— Principal Anteros. I'd met with her before over some of Sky's academic achievements, all positive things, which is why today's circumstances make being in this office rather uncomfortable.
It's also why I seem to shrink with embarrassment at my tardiness— and appearance. Waitressing has its benefits, but today's whirlwind of phone calls and a mention at meeting another parent are not any of them.
Speaking of, the other person in the room is one I've never seen before. He's taller than both Anteros and I, extremely well dressed, and probably the most intimidatingly beautiful human being I'd ever met. I can barely meet his eyes, and so I try not to think about what he's doing here—to think about having to talk to him.
I shrink even further.
"Ms. Y/L/N," Principal Anteros greets. Thankfully she doesn't sound too upset given the circumstances. "Please, have a seat."
I do, brushing off my uniform as if that will somehow help my appearance. The soft leather of the chairs, however comfortable they might be, fail to bring me any comfort at all.
"As I'm sure you've guessed already, this is Doctor Reid, Vivian's father."
Great, he's a fucking doctor? This already bodes well for me...
Regardless of my reservations, I turn to him and give a faint smile. He waves in turn, and for the time being I'm extremely glad he doesn't insist on shaking my hand.
"It's nice to meet you," he says, surely nothing but a formality.
"You, too," I say quickly, then turn back to Principal Anteros. "Your phone call sounded urgent... Is everything alright?"
As soon as I say it, I feel kind of dumb. Because of course everything isn't alright. My child's principal called a meeting with another parent, and that can never mean anything good, not to mention the fucking intimidation and awkwardness in the room right now. I almost apologize, trying to explain that that wasn't exactly what I meant to get across, but then I would have just been talking for way too long, embarrassing myself further.
Once again, I'm thankful for Anteros's ability to move the conversation along. "I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem so. I only bring this to attention because Sky and Vivian are both stellar students. They've never had any disciplinary issues or difficulties with other students..."
"No one's hurt, right?" Mr. Reid asks. I know he's just concerned for his child, but for some reason it feels like an attack on me, like he assumes my kid had something to do with it.
"No, no one's hurt. Thankfully there weren't any physical altercations. But it seems your girls are quite... loud."
The doctor looks like he wants to say something, but I'm quick to jump in before he can. "Sorry... Sky is non-binary. They use they/them pronouns."
I half expect one or either of them to make a big deal or just roll their eyes at me, as most people seem to do when I correct them on the matter, but Anteros gives a sincere apology and Reid probably couldn't have cared any less.
I still can't tell if I like him or not...
But that doesn't matter right now.
"What do you mean by loud?" I continue.
Anteros sighs. "Well, while there hasn't been any physical violence, your kids seem to have very heated arguments, usually during lunch or in the hallway in passing... We thought maybe we could resolve it here since, like I said, they're both excellent students, but then it started escalating to classroom arguments... It's a lot of screaming..."
I have never known Sky to raise their voice at anyone, not even in a situation where I probably would have. Lord knows I'm thankful they don't have my impatience and tendency to get pissed off easily...
So what happened that was so bad, it made them snap?
"You... You're sure you mean Vivian is acting out like this?" Reid asks slowly, and I can't stop myself from laughing out loud.
"Come on, she's a professional. This has been going on for weeks, in her school, I'm sure she would know if it was your kid having a screaming match with someone else..."
This time Doctor Reid actually looks over at me, an eyebrow raised, and though I very much believe what I've just told him, the way he's looking at me right now drops my heart straight down to my stomach, like he's the principal and I'm the student acting out—No, it's worse than that... I feel like he's a disappointed parent, but not with Vivian, with me.
I avoid his intimidating stare and look down at the ground. "Sorry... I'm just... This isn't like Sky, either, I don't know what to do..."
"Well, usually when we have these sort of disputes, we like to have the students talk it out amongst themselves with a moderator present. But we've tried that, and it seems that they still haven't made any progress. Now, I know your children are good at heart, and it seems like you both are excellent parents— You know your children better than anyone here ever could. So, I'm proposing the two of you take a meeting some time and try to figure out how to settle this."
Seriously? If it hasn't been made clear already, this man is a doctor of some kind, planets away from my league in any capacity, and I can just picture the two of us in a screaming match close to what I imagine our children's looked like...
Maybe we can just e-mail.
"Okay," he agrees evenly, and I'm surprised he seems this calm considering I've just practically yelled at him... "I have free time this afternoon if you want to talk it over."
"I have to get back to work, but I get done at five," I sigh, wanting to get this over with. "Are you free then?"
"Mhm."
"Good," Anteros chirps, standing and leaving Doctor Reid and I to follow suit. "Perhaps over the weekend we can get this settled."
I sure as hell hope so.
———
"Ms. Y/L/N, wait!"
I have no idea what he could possibly want from me now that we've set a time and place to talk tonight, but I'm just praying desperately that he doesn't want to take this time alone in the parking lot to get back at me for accosting him in Anteros's office...
Thankfully, his face when he approaches seems rather kind.
"You can call me Y/N..."
"Right," he says, shoving his hands in his jacket pockets and nodding. "I'm Spencer."
"Spencer... So, um... Did you need something?"
"O—Oh, I just... I know you have to get back to work so I'll make this short, but I wanted to see if you wanted to do, uh... dinner tonight?"
"Excuse me?"
"Well, I just figured since we probably didn't expect for our weekend to go this way... We should make it worth it?"
"Are you really trying to turn this into a date?"
"W— No, not really, I just... You know, I thought it might be nice to... make this less like a chore, you know? A—And don't feel like you have to say yes, it was just a thought, I'm sorry if I made this weirder..."
The fact that I still can't figure this man out bothers me, but right now he's blushing, and he looks like he's trying to save himself from embarrassment, and it's so fucking adorable that I don't really care that I was just annoyed.
So I tell him, "Sure. Why not?"
"Really?"
"Yeah... Besides, Lord knows I haven't gone out for dinner in a long time."
The doctor is relieved, a smile creeping up on his lips that suddenly tugs at my insides and makes me wish for a second that it really is a date he's offering... "Okay, good. Do you want to meet at Waterstone, seven o'clock?"
The excitement starts to drain from me as he says it, followed by an incoming wave of embarrassment. "Oh, man, that... That place is kind of expensive, I don't—"
"Oh, it's okay, I'll pay for everything. I'll even wait outside for you so we can go in together if you'd like..."
Why he's being so nice to me I have no idea, but it's making my annoyance melt and my heart start to beat faster, and I really don't know how to feel about that. In fact I'm pretty sure it's weird as fuck given the circumstances.
But all I have to do is make it through this weekend, hopefully all will be back to normal, and I won't ever have to think about it ever again.
"Alright... It's a date."
———
Out of all the scenarios I'd pictured for the end of the night, this definitely had not been one of them.
I finished my shift at the diner, imagining on my drive home the look on his face when I inevitably showed up with something on my face or stained on my dress; Instead I showed up to Waterstone and was greeted with wandering eyes and showered with bashful compliments.
I expected to get into some type of argument about how each of our kids were better than the other or something, but we ended up talking through their traits with compassion, interest, and pride, all while agreeing that we just have to sit with them this weekend and explain that there are easier, better ways to sort out disagreements than screaming at each other in public.
I expected not to have much fun at all, but by the time we gathered the check and headed out the door, Spencer and I were laughing, just a little tipsy on Cabernet, our hands gently brushing and sparks shooting up my arm at the feeling.
I expected to go our separate ways and walk to my car and drive home, but instead he ended up telling me he was taking the Subway home, and I offered to give him a ride to the opposite side of town where I lived (Waterstone was right in the middle).
I expected to walk through the door, stumble straight up to bed, and sleep until Sky inevitably woke me up with them saying I've slept in too late and needed to get ready for work, but instead I ended up following Spencer up to his door to say goodnight.
And now we're at a fork in the road, and I can take one of two paths.
I can say goodnight, watch him walk in, and then go home and forget about this whole thing.
Or I can keep letting him stare at me until I find myself leaning in to kiss him. Whether or not he'll actually reciprocate is another story, but the little bit of wine tingling in the surface of my body and the dark, intense look in his eye gives me more courage than I've had since I met him.
Before I can make a move, Spencer talks, his voice small and inviting. "Do you want to come inside?" The beating of my heart quickens immensely as he takes another step forward and brings his fingers out to graze my chin. "Vivian's with her mom tonight."
Yes. Vivian's mom, who divorced Spencer pretty soon in the marriage after she just decided his job was too much to handle. He'd quit and took a teaching job, but even still, she declined his pleading to stay married and eventually admitted that she just wasn't in love with him anymore. At least she had the decency to let him have joint custody once his schedule cleared up, and it seemed like they were decent co-parents. Maybe even friends.
I think about Sky, how much they wish their dad had stayed, and how much I wish he had too. I was devastated when he left without anything more than a note. For years it took a huge toll on us, and I barely had the headspace to even think about dating anyone since then.
But here I am now, standing with this man who has also lost a spouse, who's somewhat of a single parent, and who seems kind and genuine enough that I don't think I'd have to worry about bringing him into the life of my child.
Though, I don't even know it'll go that far. I'm getting too far ahead of myself, and so to slow down I look at what's right in front of me. Right now.
Spencer looks at me like he wants to devour me. My whole body is tingling from head to toe. I want to kiss him, and I'm pretty damn sure he wants to kiss me back. He just invited me inside, which means that if I accept, we'll most likely end up sleeping with each other.
Again... Definitely not one of the scenarios I'd had in mind when I left the school today. But it's a damn good one, and he's so hot I want to cry.
My flirty switch turns on so fast, it nearly gives me whiplash. "And what are you gonna do if I say yes?"
"Depends... How badly do you want to walk tomorrow?"
My first instinct is to jokingly tell him to put me in a wheelchair, but I settle for kissing him instead, hoping that gives the same sentiment.
The way he melts into my body tells me I've succeeded. My arms fly up to his neck and pull him closer, and he holds me tightly to him, waiting for my lips to part so he can expertly slip his tongue past them.
I whine out and take a step towards the door. Spencer comes with me and fumbles with the keys in his pocket before reluctantly pulling away to get us inside.
Once we take our jackets and shoes off, he clings to me like static, drawn to me like a magnet, and I let him near without a second thought. Our lips find each other perfectly, like they've always meant to fit together. And as pieces of clothing come off on our way through the house and up to his bedroom, our limbs fit together just as well. Nothing is out of place.
Hell, I don't even remember how inferior to him I felt earlier in the day. Our jobs and lifestyles might seem like polar opposites, but for right now, the two of us are on very equal footing, coming together like it's always been meant to be.
I nearly fall apart when his fingers gather wetness from my cunt, just enough to tease me before pulling away and bringing them to his lips. I watch with a whine waiting on the back of my tongue as he slips his fingers past his mouth and sighs.
"More," is all he manages, and I want so badly to tease him—tell him how I know he can be more eloquent than that—but words are all lost on me too, when he drops to his knees and spreads me apart with ease. I have no choice but to reach behind and grip the foot-end of the bed as he works his tongue expertly against me.
Each of my sighs and whines are met with more avidity from him, taking the form of sharp flicks of the tongue over my clit, and once he adds his fingers to the mix, pumping them expertly inside me, I'm a fucking goner.
I come with a silent shout, clenching my thighs around his face and gripping the foot of the bed so tightly it feels like my hands might go numb.
Once my body loosens, Spencer gets up and kisses me, nearly knocking me over. I'm breathless and dizzy as the tang of my arousal coats my tastebuds. His hands are gentle despite the hunger in his lips, and the medley of sensations of all of these things has me weak in the knees.
"Getting harder to stand already, sweetheart?" he laughs, catching me as I fall into him. His hands clutch at my thighs and he carries me to the edge of the bed, crawling over top of me and kissing down my neck. "That's okay... I'll take good care of you."
I still can't manage to speak as he gently pushes in, the slow burn of him splitting me in two rendering me utterly incapable of even thought. I gladly welcome the pressure, especially once he's inside me all the way and lowering his body to mine. Our chests press firmly together as he pulls back and starts a steady pace with his hips. He traps me with his arms, bringing them to either side of my face. And when his fingers brush the hair from my eyes, he stares into them with intensity as he fucks me.
It's slow and hard. It's heart-pounding. It's earth-shattering. It's everything that makes sex worth having. In that moment we're two equals, so wrapped up in the mere feeling of each other that everything else is just background noise. He breathes me in and I do the same, and with each cant forward of his hips, he brings me deeper into this world we've both ultimately created together.
I want more than anything to wrap my legs around him and keep him close to me, but he's fucking me so good that I don't have the willpower. Instead, they lay spread out, lazy and open as his hips move between them. I'm warm all over, tingling everywhere our skin connects. When he kisses me, swallowing my pathetic attempts at whimpering his name, I'm positive that this is what Heaven must feel like.
Whether it's hours or only minutes later, eventually my body tenses, unable to hold back any further, and two particularly deep thrusts from Spencer send me barreling over the edge.
"There it is, sweetheart..." he praises, caressing my face with long, gentle fingers and leaving little kisses wherever they trail. His voice only seems to help me along, each warm syllable soothing the muscles that pulled taut at his mercy. "That's a good girl..."
I feel tired, calmed, and relaxed, when he pulls out only to jerk off over my lower stomach. Through tired eyes, I watch as he lets go and covers me with his release. Hearing him grunt out my name as he does it nearly wakes me up again, and it even finally brings some words out of me.
"God, you're so fucking hot..."
Well... Not exactly elegant, but the feeling gets across.
Spencer laughs and rolls over so that he isn't nearly crushing me anymore. He kisses down my neck, my arm, and he ever-so-slightly swipes the tip of his tongue over the mess he made before kissing my thigh and getting up to leave— presumably to get me something to clean up with.
Sure enough, he returns shortly with a wet washcloth and tenderly cleans me up. I manage to sit, leaning back on my elbows once he's done and smile at him. He's practically kneeling in front of me again, smiling back as his lips press featherlight kisses to the inside of my leg.
"How're you feeling?" he drawls, letting me pull him up to lay down with me.
"Really good. I haven't done that in so long..."
"Me either... I um... I hadn't really thought much about seeing other people once Lena and I got divorced... I guess I just wanted to put all my focus into being the best father I could, you know?"
"Mhm," I answer, turning to face him and interlocking our fingers. "I know exactly what you mean."
We lay like that for a few moments in comfortable silence, hands and limbs tangled while we breathe the same air and revel in the afterglow we've just created.
Suddenly Spencer laughs, and I squeeze his hand. "What is it?"
"I was just thinking... We probably wouldn't have met if not for Anteros calling us in, right?"
"Yeah..." I piece it together. "Guess I never thought of it that way."
"I just think it's funny, because in Greek mythology, Anteros was an Erote, known as an avenger of unrequited love, and he punished those who scoffed at romantic advances made by others... You and I never even thought about dating after our separations, and yet... Here we are now, because of Anteros."
Hearing him educate me on Greek mythology only serves to remind me how different we are. Still, the little story brings a comforting smile to my lips. "Well... Remind me to send her a basket of muffins or something to thank her."
"And tell her what? That you're grateful she got you laid?"
"Yeah. And what about it?"
The two of us dissolve into laughter that eventually fizzles and leaves us silent again. Our fingers are still tangled, and somehow we've snuggled in even closer.
"In any case, I'm glad I got to meet you, Doctor Reid."
"And I, you, Ms. Y/L/N..."
———
In the past two weeks since that first meeting, I hadn't received any more phone calls from Principal Anteros, which bode as a good sign.
Spencer and I decided to see each other as secretly as we could, which meant only giving vague details to our kids as to what we were doing in our spare time— It seemed weird to spring it on them if they didn't get along, so we figured it was best to wait until the situation was handled.
I tried to talk to Sky about their progress with Vivian, but they only insisted that everything was fine and they wouldn't have to worry anymore. And after relaying this information to Spencer, he informed me that Viv had said the same thing to him.
It wasn't until we both realized that they'd said the same things verbatim each time we asked, that something odd was going on.
And that's how we end up right here, Sky and I sitting on a park bench bathed in the golden October sun while I patiently wait for Spencer to 'coincidentally' show up with Vivian.
Thankfully I don't have to wait too long, because almost five minutes after we sit, I hear the familiar sound of my name falling from his lips, and it's hard to contain the cocky, playful smile that appears upon my own.
"Spencer, hey!" I call back, standing up and going to give him a hug. He pulls me in and he's nice and warm. He smells like burnt wood for some reason, and I want to breathe him in forever. Instead, I settle for a sweet kiss on the lips, both because I simply want to and also because it should baffle the fuck out of our kids.
Sure enough we pull away and look to them, and they look panicked. They have no idea what to do, what to say...
"Oh! Sorry... Viv, this is Y/N, Sky's mom."
The pure amusement in Spencer's voice makes me feel even warmer than being in his embrace. I look to his daughter and give her a wave. "Hi."
"H—Hi..."
It almost seems cruel to laugh at their predicament, but as I turn to Sky and introduce them to Spencer, they have clear annoyance written all over their face.
"Okay, Mom, I think we get it... How did you guys figure it out?"
"What, that you two pretended to hate each other so your principal would have to call us both in to meet?"
The pre-teens look at each other and sigh, truly defeated once and for all. "Yeah," they mutter simultaneously.
"Well, it surely didn't make any sense when you got in trouble for yelling at each other in the first place," Spencer points out. "And then when we asked you how things were working out, you both said the same exact thing..."
"It wasn't that hard to figure out, but we appreciate the effort," I add, reaching out to ruffle Sky's hair. They jerk away playfully, and I can't help but notice their smile as they peek over at Vivian.
"Our plan worked, though, so I call it a win," Vivian says with a shrug.
"As long as you two don't plan on causing any more disruptions at school..." Spencer looks between the both of them, and then at me, his eyes softening as he takes my hand and squeezes it. "Then yes. I'd call it a win, too."
I lean into him and laugh. "Turns out it wasn't Greek mythology that brought us together. It was The Parent Trap."
He raises an eyebrow, like he doesn't get what I mean, and before I can ask or explain, Vivian does it for me. "He's never seen it."
Spencer looks between the three of us like a lost and confused puppy, and we all laugh.
"Well, then, maybe we'll have to have a movie night sometime soon," I offer, reaching out for Sky.
Hand in hand, the four of us continue down the pathway, walking away from the setting sun while dried leaves rustle under our feet.

very happy to (hopefully) enable you to write more chaotic gay guys so how about "Willex + I needed a fake boyfriend for a sec but I didn't know you're actually kinda famous and now reporters are asking us uncomfortable questions"? <3
They were out 'incognito' as Reggie called it, which really boiled down to wearing things they usually didn't, plus sunglasses, and ducking out the side door of the hotel because Reggie made friends with the wait staff wherever they went and they let them escape through the kitchen.
"This is fool proof," Reggie said, beaming in a yellow smiley face sweater he stole off Julie and a pair of shorts that belonged to Alex. His hair wasn't in its usual perfectly imperfect style, flopping over his forehead and onto the reflective orange sunglasses. Alex fidgeted in Luke's Flannel Of Sadness, Reggie's black shirt pulled tight over his chest. He'd shoved Luke's grey beanie over his hair, since that was usually something the paparazzi noticed. "And so worth it, I've been dying to get something other than fancy hotel food."
"I swear to god if you dragged me out here to get a McMuffin I'm murdering you in this alley," Alex said, peering out to see if the coast was clear because casually, very casually walking out. Reggie skipped along, beaming.
"No, dude, there's this cute little coffee shop that has great reviews a few blocks away." Reggie showed him his phone. "They make cookies shaped like corgis."
Okay, those were pretty cute. "Fine."
The café was charming, with pastel colours and lots of food shaped like cute things and fun and interesting sounding drinks. Nobody seemed to have followed them, so they took a seat at one of the tables and just... let themselves be themselves for a while. Snarking, joking, not worrying about whatever they said being spread across the entire internet the next day. (Reggie did take some cute pictures of their food to post once they got to their next stop on the tour, because this place deserved the shout out once they were free and clear.)
"Hey babe, sorry I'm late," a voice behind him said, before someone slid in next to him on the bench, pressing close.
"Uuuum," Alex said, voice squeaking embarrassingly high at the arm around his waist. "I think-"
"Please play along and pretend to be my boyfriend for like five seconds, this guy won't leave me alone and he's followed me into two other places already," the voice said quietly into his ear. Reggie bit his lip, looking behind them, clearly assessing how much of a threat this guy was.
"Hey, you made it!" he said brightly, before leaning over. "Alex, if you don't want to be the fake boyfriend, I will, that dude over there looks shady as fuck." Alex turned a little, looking at the guy on the bench.
Oh. He was beautiful. Long hair, tanned skin, and gorgeous brown eyes. "Fuck off, Reg, you already have a boyfriend and a girlfriend, stop being greedy," he said, flushing and leaning over to press a chaste kiss against the guy's cheek.
"Hi, gorgeous," Alex said louder, so the people around them could hear. The pet name felt a bit embarrassing, but well, the guy really was gorgeous. "I missed you." He couldn't take his eyes off the stranger, especially when he smiled a wide, pleased smile. They made lovey-dovey small-talk until Reggie said the guy had left, and the stranger slumped against him.
"Thank you so much," he said. "I'm Willie."
"Alex," he said, trying not to think about how Willie's hand was still around his waist, how Willie was still pressed against him.
“Reggie,” Reggie said, getting up. “You want a drink, Willie? Our treat.” He gave Alex an unsubtle wink, and he flushed. Willie either didn’t seem to notice or was nice enough not to say anything about it, and asked Reggie for a boba. He disappeared towards the counter, and the guy turned to him again.
“Really, thanks. I was getting a little freaked out when he wouldn’t take no for an answer, and I didn’t have my board on me to make a quick escape.”
“You skateboard?” Alex asked, and he tried not to be mesmerized by the wide grin as Willie told him about it. They fell into an easy conversation, even with Reggie trying to talk Alex up like the world’s most earnest but unsubtle wingman. Willie didn’t seem to mind, though, smiling at Alex and flirting with him as if they actually were boyfriends. Willie was funny, and cool, and really interesting, and he seemed equally interested in what Alex (and Reggie) had to say. It was pretty much the best thing that had happened to Alex all year.
Or it was. They’d reluctantly had to go to get to sound check on time (Reggie hurrying back to the counter to buy a box full of cute-shaped cookies), and he and Willie had exchanged numbers. But when they came outside, they were swarmed with reporters, shouting questions at them. Specifically, questions about Alex’ Secret Relationship.
“So much for your fool-proof plan,” he hissed at Reggie, who looked sheepish. He turned to Willie to apologize, and the guy stared at him, wide-eyed, before turning to reporters with what could only be described as a gleeful, slightly manic grin.
“One at a time, please!”  he called, and the reporters seemed a little surprised. Usually when Alex was swarmed with paparazzi, he just kept his head down and powerwalked away.
“How long have you been dating?” one woman asked.
“Forty-six years!” Willie beamed.
“Alex, why did you keep your relationship a secret when you’re such an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ community?”
“So you guys wouldn’t crash out dates like you’re doing now, asshole,” Willie said, stepping slightly in front of Alex. He grabbed his hand, and Alex squeezed it back, not sure what to make of this, but not sure how to stop him either.
“What’s your name?” Another one asked.
“Throckmorton von Beaverhausen,” Willie said with the utmost confidence. Reggie was trying to hide a grin, like the idea of just lying to reporters tickled him pink. It probably did. Alex would have to give Flynn a heads up she had to sit Reggie down and tell him he was not allowed to mess with reporters. “Now, are you going to ask us how our date was? This place has the best boba I’ve ever had, along with the cutest cookies in the world. Show ‘em, Reg!”
Reggie beamed and opened the box, chattering about how nice the cupcakes were too, giving the lady behind the counter a big thumbs up through the window. She waved back, a little in shock.
“Now, we really have to get where we’re going so we still have time to make out beforehand, if you’ll excuse us!” Willie said, pulling Alex along with him as he broke through the crowd and hailing a cab, hustling both of them inside. Once the cab had left the reporters in the dust, he turned to Alex.
“Okay, so first off, what the hell are you guys famous for?” he asked.
“Um, we’re in a band. Julie and the Phantoms?” Alex said, a little embarrassed, and highly uncomfortable at being squished in the middle seat.
“Tell your friends!” Reggie piped up. “Alex is the drummer, I play bass.”
“Oh, okay. I’ve heard your songs on the radio. They’re a bop.” Willie nodded in approval, and Alex felt his stomach flutter a little. He liked their music!
“You... you said first of all,” he said after a moment, when Willie didn’t continue. He was still holding Alex’ hand. “Is there a second of all?”
“Yeah,” Willie said. “Where the hell are we going? Because I just told the cabbie to drive like we were in an action movie and while I don’t think he minds if he just cruise around town all day, he might need an address.” The cab driver shrugged, and Alex awkwardly gave him the address to the venue they were playing at. They were going to be so late, Luke was going to kill them. Julie was going to kill them. Hell, Flynn was going to kill them too.
Except when they got to the venue, they found Luke and Julie and Flynn sat in the front row of the audience, crowded around a phone. “Well hi there, Throckmorton!” Flynn called.
“You better have saved some of those cookies for us, Reggie,” Luke threatened, beaming when he was given a sloth and a kiss on the cheek. Reggie followed up by giving Julie a unicorn (and a kiss), and Flynn a dinosaur (and a fistbump).
“So, anyone want to explain what the hell just happened?” Julie asked, cheerfully nibbling the horn off her unicorn cookie.
“Honestly, I’m not sure,” Alex admitted. But when he looked at Willie, who was still holding his hand, eyes sparkling, he was pretty sure it didn’t matter.

Match
Fic inspired by this scene (S17xE15) and @specialagentastra ❤️(gif and pic are mine)
Tags: @hotch-meeeeeuppppp @madamsnape921 @specialagentastra @ncisfan
Tumblr media
Get Started.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs isn't sure what got into him. How did Phil Brooks manage to get him to do it? He hates everything about online dating, about smartphones, about technology. Why did he press the button? Sure, he still can change his mind, erase his profile (if he ever find how) and forget all about it.
But the truth is...he's lonely. For many years, he lied about it to everyone, saying that he wasn't if someone asked. But he is. Very much so.
Plus, online dating doesn't involve into anything, right? He's just going to see women's profiles and that's it. "Swipe left if you don't like her. Swipe right if you do." Phil told him. God, how he hates smartphones.
But Gibbs is smart. He hates those things and never got interested in them, but as Phil and Tobias show him how to use his new phone, he starts to get it. He just doesn't know more than what they show him.
Changing his picture profile was one of those things. "If you don't like the one I choose for you, here's how you can change it."
It's not that Gibbs doesn't like the picture, but he thinks that the less we see of him, the better. So, instead of the one Phil took, he puts one that was taking by Tobias while they were fishing. He can be seen from afar, holding the fish he just caught. That seems right to him.
Tumblr media
Gibbs doesn't spend much time on the app. Sometimes at night, he hears the phone buzzing and he checks. Women swiped him to the right. He swiped to the left.
Maybe he's being picky. Or maybe he just doesn't how he supposed to value someone through a picture or two and not many more information about them. It feels so impersonal to Gibbs. He hates it.
"Have you match with someone?" Phil asks one night.
"No."
"Gibbs, come on!" His friend spots the phone on the coffee table and grabs it. "Let me do it for you." And he does.
For what feels like an eternity for Gibbs, Phil swipes either left or right, while the Agent is annoyingly looking at the western movie on his old tv.
"Crap, look at her!" Phil holds the phone right under Gibbs's nose. He doesn't have his glasses on, so the screen appears blurry to him. With a smile, Phil offers him the glasses with his free hand.
Still very annoyed, Gibbs grabs them. "Too young." He says when he sees the age.
"But pretty as hell!"
"Too. Young."
"Too. Late." he uses the same tone as Gibbs's. "I swiped right!"
"I hate you."
"You'll thank me when you'll have a date with--" Phil checks the name. "Y/N."
* * * * *
Online dating has never been good to you. You've been on it for about year, after a bad breakup, and until now, you've only matched with weirdos. None of those match led to an actual meeting and you were getting tired of it.
You barely pay attention when a new notification from the app comes through. You focus on your book, forgetting about it until your curiosity gets the best of you.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs," you read out loud. "Dude, you seem good looking but a fish holding picture? Seriously?" yes, you're talking to your phone.
There's nothing much to this Leroy's profile. And the picture definitely doesn't get your interest, it's quite the opposite actually. You put your phone aside without locking it and return to your book.
A few minutes later, another notification comes through.
Leroy: Hey :)
How? How did he manage to send you a text? You didn't swipe. Or at least, you thought you didn't, but after checking, you realized that you did swipe... to the right. Damn.
You're too nice, you don't want to leave him on read - you know how terrible that is - so it's better you answer and eventually tells him the truth, or something close to it.
You: Hello.
Leroy: How are you?
You: I'm fine, thank you. You?
Leroy: Better now that you swiped right.
You: Smooth.
Leroy: I'm not really used to this. Are you?
You: More or less.
Leroy: I'd prefer to meet someone face to face.
You: Why are you on a dating app, then?
Leroy: Didn't you read my bio?
You: I did. But that friend didn't put a knife on your throat, did they?
Leroy: Nope. But if he did, I know how to fight anyway.
You: Right, former Marine?
Leroy: Gunnery Sergeant.
You could have stopped the conversation as soon as it's started, but somehow, you went on and on, all night long.
* * * * *
"What the hell are you still doing on that phone?" Gibbs asks his friend.
"Still talking with Y/N. I think she likes you."
Gibbs disappeared in his basement hours ago, leaving Phil is the living room. He knew that Phil sent you a text as soon as you matched with him, but he didn't except for it to keep going for that long.
"That's not me talking to her. It's you."
"I know you well enough to know what you'd say."
"You don't know me well enough to not do things like that to me."
"Stop complaining and get ready for a date this weekend."
* * * * *
Gibbs is still not sure how he got into this. But somehow, he finds himself at the diner on a Saturday night, waiting for a young and beautiful woman to meet him.
Is he nervous? No.
Maybe a little.
Okay, he is.
He read all the texts you exchanged with Phil - thinking that it was actually him - to make sure he wouldn't miss something. But it doesn't feel right anyway. It feels like he's lying to you before he even met you. That's not how a relationship can start and work.
Although, the chance of this turning into a relationship are close to none. "You know, you could just take her home, spend the night with her and the next morning--bye-bye." Divorce really changed Phil.
Gibbs is facing the entry, and checks everyone who’s coming in. He’s on his second coffee when he finally sees you.
Phil was right, you’re pretty as hell. But still very young, Gibbs doesn’t understand how you can even get interested in an old man like him.
But he doesn’t have to overthink it as you softly introduce yourself to him. He stands up and shakes your hand. You sit across the table and for a moment, none of you talk. You both feel awkward. “I don’t really know how to—“ he starts saying.
“Me neither.” You chuckle. “You’re actually the first match I’m meeting.”
“Really?” He looks at you, extremely surprised.
“Well, yeah. You know those weirdos I talked with…”
Gibbs vaguely remembers that part of the texts. But to avoid saying the wrong thing, he asks you what you want to drink. “Coffee’s fine.”
He calls for the waitress and orders your coffee. “People usually doesn’t understand how I can drink coffee at night.”
“Same. But with or without it, I don’t sleep much anyway.”
That’s how it started. Once you were talking, everything went smoothly between you two. You’re very interested by him, just like he’s by you. “You’re very nice, Leroy. There’s something I need to tell you.”
“I’m listening?”
“I didn’t mean to swipe right. It was mistake—but I’m really happy I did. You’re not a creep,” you warmly smile at Gibbs, he feels his heart melting inside his chest.
“I appreciate your honesty. I guess I should do the same.” You raise an eyebrow at him. “I wasn’t the person you talked with. My friend did it for me.”
Well, what you did was a honest mistake. What he did was... weird. You looked at him, confused and a bit disappointed. "I just ruined it, didn't I?" he asks for the look on your face.
"I talked with a man and met another one... that's--strange, Leroy."
"Look, this whole online dating-- that's really not my thing. And Phil, my friend, just wanted to help." he explains. "What do you say we start all over?"
Despite the other people talking around you and Gibbs, there's a long silence between you two. Gibbs just stares at you, unsure of what you're going to do.
You're thinking for a moment, before finishing your coffee. You stand up and to the man's surprise, you smile at him. "I'm gonna sit at the counter. Come talk to me like none of this happened."
He deserves the benefit of the doubt.

OBSESSIVE STOLAS x Male Imp pt.4
Tumblr media
(This is a long fanfic and will consist of multiple parts.)
Stolas sat in the family limo, enjoying the smooth rumble of limos engine as he travelled home. Along the way, he felt... at peace.
As though, all the problems that plagued his mind before, had... evaporated.
Stolas ran a hand down his chest, his thighs grinding together as he thought about his time with you.
You were so gentle. So tender and elegant with him. As though he were some delicate piece of art.
But he knew the truth...
You handled him so delicately, because you wanted him to feel loved.
...Because you loved him.
The thought sending a whole new wave of warmth threw him.
So focused on the events that just transpired was he, he didn't even notice his arrival home.
He walked through the building blissfully unawares of all around him, almost in a drunken state.
Entering his chambers he found the bed made and empty.
Of course it was, Stella hadn't shared there bed since Blitzø fell into Stella's brunch.
He'd once found it all so charming. Blitzø's brash, rough and tumble attitude had once made him swoon.
But now when he thought about being with Blitzø, he just felt like an idiot for having thought there relationship was anything beyond a business transaction.
But now he had you. And you were all he needed now.
He fell onto his bed, not bothering with the covers. Content to just lay there and bask in the light you brought to his life.
But those tears he shed had took a toll on him, and as much as he wished to bask in this warmth he could feel sleep taking him and with one more happy thought of you, he allowed sleep take him.
He awoke early the morning, and despite being bathed in the light of Hell's crimson sun.
He felt cold.
As though all the warmth youd given him yesterday had simply vanished.
He sat up, sluggishily removing the covers went about preparing for his day of... nothing.
Stella hadn't allowed him anywhere near his usual meeting or appointments, not since- well you know what happened.
Perhaps he'd try and talk to his beloved Octavia. If she was feeling hospitable.
Hmmm. Perhaps not. He should probably just give her some space.
Besides he realised an even more important thing he could do with his morning.
Learning everything he could about You.
Turning over, he found his phone. Looking through his contacts.
He found your name, going into your contact he considered messaging you, but decided against it. He didn't want to bother you so early in the morning.
Instead he pulled up Voxtigram, his main form of communication, before typing in your name.
But he couldn't find you.
So he checked Blitzø's friend list, he eventually found you, it turns out you just had your name backwards, something that made him chuckle.
Seeing pictures of Blitzø sent pangs of sadness through his chest, but he soldiered on.
Scrolling through your pictures, he didn't find much.
Alot of them were just pictures of the places you'd been, or one of the weapons you used on the job.
He eventually did find some of you.
The first he found was you and the two other Imps that worked there, Millie and Moxxie he was pretty sure were there names.
The next was you on your first day at work.
It was a selfie of you in a group hug with Blitzø and the others.
You were all clearly being forced by Blitzø.
The awkward little smile you wore sent a wave of warmth through him.
Scrolling further down, he found more pictures of you. Most of them were just you relaxing at a variety of places, or after after getting a new outfit. Just general stuff about your life in hell.
Then he found one that made his heart skip a beat.
It was a picture of you. Wearing just a pair of shorts at the gym.
You were pulling a little pose, flexing your muscles in front of a mirror, a shy little blush across your cheeks.
Stolas' swallowed, his throat suddenly very dry.
He rubbed his thighs together as he fantasised about licking the sweat off your abs.
With a shake to his head, he decided now was a good time to get out of bed.
Leaving his phone as he went and took a nice long shower.
A nice long, cold shower.
Getting out, he chose a more casual outfit.
An old T-shirt and some jeans he reserved for comfy home clothes. He didn't have anywhere to be.
He made his way to the kitchen, where he found Octavia sitting at the table.
The more calculating part of his brain told him to just leave her alone, but he decided against it. He shouldn't hide from his daughter, she needed to know he was still there for her 'Hello darling, how did you sleep.' He asked pleasantly.
Octavia looked up at him, her eyes looking cold and annoyed. So, not all to different from her usual teenage gaze.
'I slept fine dad.' She sai, her voice dull and lifless, before looking back down at her phone.
Stolas swelled with joy.
His daughter was speaking to him again. Everything seemed seemed to be getting better for him.
Pouring himself a bowl of serial, he took a rather lecherous lstroll down memory lane, Thinking about his time with you.
He didn't know how long he'd been thinking about you, but he was quickly pulled out of it when he felt something hit him on the back.
The clanging of cutlery that followed soon after gave him a good idea of what it was.
Turning around he found a rather angry teenage owl glaring at him.
Before he could ask what was wrong. The owlet released a frustrated growl. 'Can you just not?' She asked rhetorically.
Running down her face she told him 'I have do deal with you and Mums B.S. all the time, can you just not fantasise about your fuckin Blitzy~ in front of me.'
She fell back into her seat with a huff.
Stolas was a little shocked. He hadn't thought his beloved daughter could be so course.
'I-I... I didn't realise I was being so bothersome.' He said, sounding perhaps a bit to wounded.
Octavia sighed, 'Can you just not in the kitchen. Where we eat, please?' She asked, going back to her breakfast.
Stolas sighed, picking up his now soggy bowl of serial. 'How long had I been in that state?' He asked himself.
'Five minutes' answered Octavia not looking up from her phone.
'Oh' he said to himself, taking the bowl he poured it into the trash. 'Well that's disgusting.'
He chuckled to himself. Looking over his shoulder he said 'Well, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear you won't be hearing much about Blitzø... ever again.' He told her being perhaps a little vitriolic.
Getting a cup from the cupboard, he poured himself a cup of coffee.
Walking over to Octavia he went to take a seat, but stopped upon seeing her distrustful gaze.
Taking a seat he sighed. 'Octavia, darling... I know these past few weeks haven't been easy on you. And I know much of that-" He had to stop as Octavia glared daggers at him. "...All of it, was my fault. But I promise, things will get better... for both of us.' He took her hand into his own. 'I promise.'
Octavia looked up at him, she looked so startled by his words.
It seemed like she was gonna say something, dew drops forming in the corners of her eyes.
He was about to say something when Octavia shot up and ran away.
Stolas sat there. For a long while. His conversation running over in his mind.
Taking a drink from his coffee he stood up, put his cup in the sink and left.
He found himself in his garden, perhaps the last place he still felt at home on the palace grounds.
Trying to calm himself down went about his usual grooming routine.
Trimming bushes, feeding his plants, pulling weeds and just general plant care.
And as much as his plants soothed his nerves,, he could feel his mood shifting.
The depression beganing to invade his thoughts.
He felt himself become that miserable husk that got shoved out of Blitzøs office.
He clutched his head, hunching over on the brink of tears. His thoughts became like daggers, stabbing into his thoughts.
But before he could shed a tear, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.
Pulling it out, he found it was a call from you.
In something of a surprised stupor, he answered the call. He tried to clear the emotion from his voice before saying 'Hello?'
'Stolas? Are you okay? You sound upset.' You asked him, concern in your voice.
'(Y/N)?! I... I'm...' he was going to tell you some fluff story, pretending he was fine and probably throwing a few lewd innuendos I'm there.
But, he choked... He just couldn't.
'No... No I'm not okay.' He told you, on the brink of tears. 'I feel like everything is broken and it's all my fault.'
You took a moment to respond, clearing your throat you said. 'Stolas... why did you sleep with Blitzø?'
Stolas was taken aback, 'P-Pardon?'
You sighed, 'Did you want to hurt your family when you chose to sleep with Blitzø?'
Bringing up it was he who made of decision to sleep with Blitzø, made his self loathing grow like a fire.
'N-No!' He told you 'I would never want to hurt my family...'
'Its alright Stolas, I know you wouldn't want to hurt them... But you slept with him for a reason Stolas, you need to know what it is.'
Stolas wasn't sure how to answer, he didn't really know the answer. He could lie, tell you it was just a spur of the moment decision, but that just wasn't true.
'I-I don't know.' He stated, more then said. 'I don't know why I did it... I just... don't know.'
He sat there for several moments, his mind going into overdrive as he thought over the question.
'Its alright Stolas, I believe you. But you need to figure it out, this is something that will haunt you until you figure it out." You told him, trying your best to be serious.
Stolas wiped his eyes, before asking you, 'why did you call (Y/n)? I... don't remember giving you my number!' He mumbled out, rubbing his eye.
You coughed, clearing your throat, 'Don't worry about that. I actually called you because, well I mean, I was wondering, if maybe you wanted to do something tomorrow?' You asked him, voice thick with bashfulness.
Stolas was really taken aback, 'You... You want to do something... With me?' He asked incredulously.
You chuckled on the other end of the phone. 'If I were there right now, Stolas, I'd probably boop you right on a nose.' You tell him through a smile.
'I'd love to do something!' Stolas practically cheered. You chuckled, before telling him 'Great, Ive already got an idea, but if youd like to do-'
Before you could finish your note, Stolas shouted, 'I'd love Too!'
Stolas quickly calmed down, before clearing his throat, 'Sorry... I mean, I'd love to do whatever you had in mind.' He said, cringing at how desperate he'd sounded.
'Good to hear' You chuckled, 'Well, there's this great wine place I know that makes the best little pizzas, and I, uh, wanted to share it with you.'
Your words sent a wave of ecstasy through his body. You not only wanted to spend time with him but actively sought him out to spend time with him.
You were everything he wished Blitzø was.
And he loved it.
He didn't need Blitzø.
He had you now.
'Of course (Y/N), It would be my pleasure to spend some time with you.' He told you, biting his lip.
He felt like a school girl with her first crush, a youthful giddiness clouded his mind.
'Oh? Well I've got tomorrow off, does that work for you? We can do it another day if your busy.' You told him, concern clear in your voice.
It was Stolas' turn to laugh at the tone in your voice.
'I don't have anything on tomorrow, so I'd love to accompany you to yor wine and pizza place. Nothing would make me happier.' He told you earnestly.
He could hear the smile in your voice, as you told him. 'Well, I'm happy to hear that. I'll send you the address later today, call me if you need any directions... I'll see you then, Stolas.'
'I...' Stolas wanted to tell you how much he loved you, just how much joy you brought him with one simple phone call.
He wanted to tell you, but didn't have the words.
As he tried to manifest the words he needed, he heard say through the phone.
'Its alright Stolas. I look forward to seeing you too.'
You told him simply, Stolas just sighed. How you always knew what he was trying to say.
'I'll see you tomorrow, My Beloved.' he told you before you hung up.
Hearing the tell tale dial tone, looking down at the phone, your image in the caller I.D. bringing a smile to his face.
