Dadbastian Week: Different Kids
I was not very polite with this one, and also I need to explain myself for this one bc I made an AU just for this one fic.
The Needed Prelude: It's an AU where Sebastian has both Phantomhive twins. How? I have no idea. R!Ciel is just Ciel. O!Ciel is... unnamed sonboy. Sebastian serves O!Ciel, but R!Ciel kinda isn't his business. R!Ciel is the Earl Phantomhive, but O!Ciel snatched up the Guard Dog gig out from under his feet bc he wants his revenge. R!Ciel doesn't know Sebastian is a demon, he's just chilling and has no idea a revenge plot is happening.
Needed Content Warning: Mentions of the twins backstory. Also favoritism. That's all.
Ok I'm done talking now, it's for @dadbastianweek2023
Have fun, God knows I had fun. I love messy things.
Favoritism
A proper Phantomhive butler did not pick favorites. He serves all members of the household with equal attentiveness, as anything less would be highly unprofessional.
… That being said, Sebastian had a favorite Phantomhive twin.
It was his twin, obviously. The fact that the boy had a contract with him was definitely a factor, but it was far from the only reason that he held the younger of the two in an esteem higher than that of his brother.
Another, much bigger factor is that his own charge caused significantly less trouble for him. The boy was quiet, and when he did need to stir up something for the sake of his revenge it was always the type of mess that Sebastian enjoyed getting tangled up in. The thought had even crossed his mind once or twice that the youngest Phantomhive boy really would make one hell of a demon.
Ciel Phantomhive was a different story. He was loud. He enjoyed pulling silly little pranks on his much more serious brother, disagreeing entirely with the idea that they were both no longer children. It was the kind of behavior that made Sebastian scoff, realizing what his young master had meant when he expressed to Her Majesty some doubts about his older brother’s ability to inherit their father’s secondary title. 
Ciel Phantomhive as the Queen’s guard dog. The thought of it almost made Sebastian laugh.
Still, the older twin wasn’t without his charms. He was gregarious, easy to like, and arguably an agreeable young man (though a bit of a people-pleasing doormat if you asked Sebastain for his honest opinion). He really did make a fine Earl Phantomhive, especially considering that his skills in mathematics weren’t entirely hopeless and that he didn’t cower in fear at the thought of a public event.
Sebastian tried not to let his distaste show, but it was hard sometimes. His own master was so clever, something that had been a driving force behind Sebastian’s loyalty remaining with him. He had such a razor-sharp intellect that made even a demon sit at the edge of his seat and watch excitedly for his next move. Compared to such a cunning little mind, Ciel Phantomhive just looked…
Dull.
It wasn’t as if this opinion was shared only by himself. The Young Master also seemed exhausted by his brother’s antics.
“He thinks his job is so hard!” The boy would groan.
“Indeed, if saddled with your position, he would crack under the pressure.“ Sebastian would agree before looking up, his face showing no remorse. “If you pardon my saying so.”
The truth was that the new Earl Phantomhive was stuck in the past, trying far too hard to salvage the past from the wreckage with childish pranks and rude behavior behind the closed doors of his own manor. The worst part of all of it is that whenever he acted in such a manner, he would look to Sebastain of all people for approval. And Sebastain was not one to find such antics endearing.
Yes, the only words to describe Ciel Phantomhive were as follows; Sentimental, painfully unfunny, and so very dull.
So dull he had yet to notice a demon living under his own roof.
---
“Sebastian?” A voice shocked him out of his thoughts, nearly causing him to drop the dish he was wiping down into the empty basin. He turned, his reaction entirely dependent on who exactly was standing in the kitchen doorway.
The shaggy blue-black hair didn’t tell him much, so he moved his eyes down to the eyes. Only one was visible, with the other hidden away behind a sensible black eyepatch. His face softened.
His twin.
“I didn’t even hear you coming, Young Master.” He said with a gentleness that made it all sound like a laugh. He supposed he must have been too wrapped up in his thoughts to feel the boy’s soul approaching him. It happened from time to time, though he did try not to be so careless.
He glanced down at the blue suit the boy wore, raising an eyebrow at it. “Did we not decide on the green one for today?”
His master shrugged, looking down at the floor in what Sebastain assumed was shame. “I spilled my tea. Tanaka helped me change.”
Sebastian tutted softly, turning his attention back to the dish in his hand. “You must be more careful, My Lord.”
Something about his phrasing made his charge tense up, but everything seemed to do so nowadays. ‘Teenagers’, Sebastain thought with the slightest hint of disdain as he waited for the boy to say whatever it was he had needed so badly that he walked all the way down to the kitchen rather than just calling for him.
“... Am I your favorite?” 
Well… that wasn’t quite what he expected.
“... Pardon?” This time, the plate was set carefully at the bottom of the wash basin as Sebastain turned to give his full attention to the young boy.
“Am I your favorite?” He asked again with more confidence. “Who do you like more, me or Ciel?”
The question was so uncharacteristically bold that it startled an unbecoming bark of a laugh out of Sebastain’s throat. “You, of course.”
There really was no need for hesitation. It’s not as if he could lie to the boy. Better to just spit out the answer if the question was going to be so simple and of such little consequence.
His young master looked horrified by his answer. In a way, Sebastian could not blame him for such a reaction. It did not bode well if your actions earned you the favor of a demon. And indeed, he most certainly deserved the favor he received.
“What is this about, anyway?” Sebastian teased lightly. “Have you fallen victim to a sudden bout of insecurity?”
His young charge’s lip quivered, so the boy bit it to keep it still. Sebastian paused for a moment, wondering if maybe he had been a bit too careless with the topic at hand. After all, humans were very attached to their senses of morality. No matter how skewed it may be.
“As if you would care.” The boy muttered with such bite that Sebastain felt he had really earned the guard dog title. Sebastian went to open his mouth, maybe say something to mend the situation slightly, but the boy was already gone by the time he mustered the pathetic “ah” noise in protest.
Well…
That seemed like a dilemma in the making.
---
“Sebastian!” This time the voice that called his name pulled him in a way that was more tangible, yanking his movements to a stop as he felt his master’s presence grow strong and irritable. “Sebastian!”
“Yes Young Master, what is it?” He turned, watching the boy run up to him in his… green suit? “The green one is back?”
The younger Phantomhive twin;s scowl wavered just long enough to show his confusion. “What are you-” He growled in frustration, and only then did Sebastian notice the hand placed firmly over his left eye. “Where is Ciel?”
Sebastian looked confused now. “If I remember correctly, the Earl Phantomhive was meant to be out on business today.”
“Well he isn’t,” The boy growled. “And that wasn’t an answer.”
Sebastian’s brow furrowed even more, if that was at all possible. “I assure you, I have not seen him as far as I’m aware.”
“Well he has to be-” Speak of the devil and he shall appear, rounding the corner sharply and slamming a hand right in his brother’s chest. 
His younger brother coughed hollowly on impact, forcing Sebastian to bend down and watch closely for an asthma attack as the boy held a fist against where he had been struck.
Once the coughing subsided, he uncurled his fist and showed Sebastain the eyepatch that lay crumpled up in his palm. “You ASS-”
Rather than scold the younger brother for his language, Sebastian lifted his head to demand the older apologize immediately for his behavior.
That is until he saw the back of Ciel’s blue jacket.
He hummed curiously as his charge quickly covered up his eye with the patch and demanded help tying it.
So, Ciel Phantomhive was in fact capable of manipulation.
It indeed was a day full of surprises.
---
“You’re in the wrong study.” That was the only greeting Sebastian got as he opened the door to Ciel’s personal workroom. He had to admit, if upsetting him so was the only way to keep him hard at work even after the sun had gone down, then he should make a habit of being even less sensitive. 
No, that wouldn’t do. This much conflict would only get in his way as time went on.
He smiled. “No, I believe I’m in the right place.”
There was no response.
“... I bought hot chocolate,” He tried again. “With cinnamon and cream.”
Still nothing.
Sebastian sighed, placing the cup down in the boy’s line of sight. He supposed he was going to need to be even more direct than he had thought (yet another reason why the other brother was preferable. Bribery was still an option for minor blunders).
“I owe you an apology, My Lord.” He said sympathetically. “It was wrong for me to say such things, even in jest.”
Of course he hadn’t been joking. But technically he hadn’t said that he meant it as a joke either.
Ciel’s brow furrowed, and Sebastian wondered if he was about to witness the elder brother’s version of the famous Phantomhive rage he had already seen on full display so many times.
He hadn’t once ever considered that such a face could be the prelude to tears.
He was too stunned to speak as those glassy blue eyes turned to him, filled with some type of betrayal that Sebastian hadn’t felt was warranted until he saw it firsthand. “Why do you hate me?!”
“I-” He cleared his throat, trying to gain his composure once more. “I assure you My Lord, I don’t hate you.”
How could he? Children were too innocent by nature to truly hate. He just so happened to not find much value in innocence.
“You don’t like me!” Ciel yelled, and Sebastian had to bite his cheek. That part unfortunately was true. “You adore him! When he calls, you answer! When he speaks, you applaud! B-but when I do it, you just- you just-”
Something dug its claws into Sebastian’s spine. Something that seemed like shame. He really hadn’t meant to make his lack of affections so noticeable. 
“My Lord,” He knelt down to what would have been eye level if Ciel wasn’t doing everything in his power to not even look at him. “You must understand, your brother sometimes requires special attention. He’s been through a lot-”
“So have I!” Ciel cut him off with a cry painful enough to make even a demon feel guilt burrow into the pit of his stomach.
In his three years as the Phantomhive butler, he had never even considered it. Of course he had been aware that the boys had both been taken the night their parents had been killed. He knew logically that they had both taken the same route from start to finish, the only difference in their memory being what happened in those last few minutes before the horror was over.
When his charge woke in the night, thrashing, screaming, vomiting, clinging to the nearest source of warmth for salvation, Sebastian rushed to his side and held him tight until the memories faded into black and he was brought back to the land of the living, shaking like a newborn deer.
Who did that for Ciel? Did anyone do that for Ciel? Or had he been forced to fight his way through those fits all alone?
Sebastian tried to swallow the sand-like shame in his throat. Perhaps he had misjudged the boy’s resolve.
Slowly as to not startle Ciel, Sebastian reached into his breast pocket and extended a handkerchief to the sobbing boy in front of him.
Lord only knows how pitiful his face must have looked for Ciel to decide to throw himself into Sebastian’s chest instead. He allowed it, wrapping his arms around the boy and allowing him what little comfort he knew how to extend.
“There, there.” He whispered to him in the voice he only ever used for the child’s brother. “You’ve been very brave.”
And it was true. There were few things Sebastian could think of that were more courageous and more human than smiling at the face of hell. It was the type of behavior that Sebastian was sure would make the late Lord Phantomhive quite proud.
But he wasn’t here. So Ciel was vying for praise from the man he felt was the closest thing he could get now in lieu of fatherly affection.
Hesitantly, he placed a kiss on top of the child’s head. “You’ve done well.”
He cried even harder, clinging harder to Sebastian’s lapels. Something about the situation brought Sebastian a sick satisfaction that his demonic nature just couldn’t ignore.
He would not crave his attention if he knew the truth.
After all, he was not as dull as he had initially seemed.

Sex Isn't Love | Part 2
Noah Sebastian x female reader
Minors, please DNI
🔞⚠️: references to sex, kissing
808 words
Part 1
Tumblr media
“Hey.” Noah spoke softly like he was trying not to startle you.
“What are you doing here, Noah?”
You weren't really sure what to think as you felt your stomach sink. This must have only been the third or fourth time he'd actually been to your place. When you hung out, it was always at his place and on his terms.
“I found something you left in my car. I thought you may want it back,” Noah explained as he pulled a Chapstick from the pocket of his hoodie and handed it to you.
“You came all this way for the sake of a Chapstick?”
Noah looked everywhere but at you, “I, um, I guess.”
“Well, thanks. So, how are you?” You asked, attempting to cut through the awkwardness which was filling the space between you both.
Digging your keys out of your jacket pocket, you made your way to your door. Noah towered over you and his cologne filled your nostrils as he instinctively tucked your hair behind your ear. His touch sent an icy shockwave down your spine. As you met his gaze and you could have sworn he began to blush.
“I'm good. Listen, I was hoping we could talk. Can I come in?” Noah said hopefully.
Those damn eyes. You could never say ‘no’ to those eyes. Without responding out loud, you stuffed your feelings towards Noah to the back of your mind, unlocked the door and held it open for him as you stepped inside.
“Drink?” You offered, trying to keep your cool as you scanned the apartment for any mess you hadn't cleaned up yet.
“Um, sure. Whatever you're having would be great, please.”
You'd never seen Noah look so uncomfortable as you handed him a can of Sprite from the fridge. He was usually so self-assured when he was around you. Had he really taken you calling it quits that badly?
After some mindless smalltalk about work and local news stories, you began to probe. “What was it you wanted to talk about?”
You could almost hear the air escape from his lungs as your question took him by surprise.
“Us,” Noah uttered.
“What about us?”
“I don't think we should end things.”
Now it was your turn to be taken by surprise. “I told you, I need more than what was a situationship at best.”
“The last few days without any contact with you made me realise -”
“Noah, don't you dare try and play that fucking card. I've been down that road before and I am never letting myself go there again.”
“So you don't have feelings for me too?” Noah retorted.
You were genuinely dumbfounded to the point you didn't believe you'd heard correctly, “What do you mean ‘too’?”
Noah took a long stride towards you as you felt your cheeks flush scarlet.
“I'm trying to tell you that I've fallen for you and I want us to give dating a shot. The thought of never seeing you again has been killing me and I'll bet you’ve felt the same.”
“Bold of you to assume. In any case, dating would mean we'd actually have to do more than just fuck or watch movies and eat takeout at your place. Have we ever done anything together outside the realm of that?”
Noah took another step forward so he was mere inches away from you. Your breathing became synchronised with his as you looked up at him. The physical closeness quickened your heartbeat so much you were convinced he could hear it.
He gently pressed his hand to your cheek as he spoke, “I know you feel it too. I know you better than you think.”
“Noah, this is real life, not a fucking rom-com!” You hissed.
“I'm serious!” he raised his voice, slightly annoyed.
“How can you be into me? I'm nothing, a nobody, and you, you're, you're -” you started.
“Just say it. Stop fucking around,” Noah growled, pressing his forehead to yours.
You could barely manage more than a whisper, “You're everything, Noah.”
He crashed his lips into yours, pulling you in for a slow, deep kiss. You must have kissed him a hundred times, but never like this. This was different. It was fuelled by intimacy and affection rather than pure lust.
You reluctantly pulled away from him to catch your breath and clear your head while you figured out what you wanted to do. It then dawned on you that you'd never actually spent time with Noah without sleeping with him. If you were going to date him for real, you needed to be sure there was more to the relationship than just sex - and that him wanting to date you wasn't some fuckboy game he was playing.
With that you made up your mind, “Yes, I'll date you, but no sex until we know it's real.”

“I- the whole reason I did this robbery in specific,” I stated, opening the glovebox in front of her, revealing the plastic bottles, “was to get back your meds. That’s why I’ve been so distant.”
She stared at the orange bottles, detached.
“I have felt so fucking guilty, that I have barely been able to look at you knowing what I did,” my voice began to raise, “Like how fucked up am I? That I could do that to you, knowing, that they’re supposed to be helping you?”
I scoffed at myself as I slammed the glovebox, making Y/N jump in the process.
The more I fool myself The more I feel it creeping in I think I lost my mind again
“Y/N,” I whispered now, “I am so sorry I did this to you. I am so sorry I dragged you into this.”
The more I start to fall The more I don't see me at all I think I lost my mind again”
 +++++
Y/N
I pulled my knees to my chest beneath the sheets of my bed as soft sobs escaped my chest. I breathed in and out heavily, lips parted as I coughed, congested from the tears that stained my cheeks.
So much happened, and my overwhelmed mind began to spiral. I wanted to blame myself for Noah’s decision, but at the same time how could I blame him? He needed the money, and I let him into my life without looking at the consequences. I shouldn’t look past his actions, and if I was a normal person I’d kick him out of my life… but I was already wrapped around his finger.
I really was so naive, huh?
I wanted to trust Noah. I still trust Noah.
So in the end it was all my fault, because why did I trust someone who had just come into my life so deeply?
When will that trust wear thin till the point it breaks and crumbles, shattering into an unfixable mess?
As I cried my tears for Noah, my chest heaved from the anxiety of my past. I swore to myself that I wouldn't go back to that fucking mask; that I wouldn’t let them find me. Yet, here I was, completely exposed again and traceable.
That dealer in the alleyway. He knew the mask, and he knew the code.
“We live in a twilight world: And there are no friends at dusk.”
I didn’t recognize him, but I knew that he could link me back to those I ran from. They haven’t worn the masquerade masks since I left.
I squeezed my eyes shut, the heat of my breath beginning to suffocate my body that lay beneath the covers of my duvet, shielding me from the world and all the problems within it.
"I'll See You At The Beginning, Friend."
I was going to be found, and it was going to be a mess.
If Kiean and Kade were about to be back in my life, I would need a saving grace.
As much as I didn’t want to talk to Noah about anything, or forgive him, I needed him.
I told him that I would risk it all for him, and I’ve proven it; but would he risk it all for me?
You think that I can’t see through it all? Who would walk back and risk it all for me now? Is this how breaking point sounds?
In the end, Noah isn’t the bad guy. If anything, once he finds out everything, I am.
I let the tears fall for a moment longer as I anxiously lived within my mind before the soft creak of my door opening snapped me away from my wading.
“Go away,” I mumbled, curling closer to my knees before the bed dipped gently. A soft purr came from behind the blanket and I sniffed, opening the covers to reveal Juice who waddled towards me. His head pushed into my hand, the soft orange fur of his coat instantly soothing me as my fingers ran through it.
“I thought you’d need a furry friend right now.” I heard from behind the door and I turned my head, noticing Nicholas peaking in.
“Thanks,” I mumbled, sitting up as I held Juice in my arms. He purred harder at the touch, closing his eyes in contentment.
Nicholas pushed the door open more and he held out a mug in offering, “I brought you some tea?”
I sniffed, rubbing my eyes with my free hands in an attempt to erase the tears.
Nicholas entered, placing the mug on my nightstand as he looked down at me in worry, his brows narrowed with sorrow, “I’m here to talk if you need someone to vent to.”
I nodded and Nicholas sad on the edge of my bed politely, as if afraid he was overstepping. Juice squirmed in my grasp and I let him go, and he immediately walked over to Nicholas, rubbing along his arm.
I scoffed, smiling gently, “Seems he has a new favourite.”
“What can I say, I guess I’m a cat whisperer.” Nicholas laughed, petting the cat.
I laughed lowly, rubbing my eyes again before glancing at the man before me.
As if he read my mind, he spoke first.
“I knew.” He said, and although I had a suspicion, my heart still clenched at his words.
“How long?” I whispered, picking at the fabric of my sheets.
Nicholas sighed, “The day it happened. I caught him replacing your pills.”
I nodded, unsure what to say. Not only did he steal them, he replaced them with lies. He didn’t want me to know.
“Was he ever going to tell me?” I asked, tears welling up in my eyes again.
Nicholas sucked in a breath, “Yes. I tried to get him to do it right away, but he wanted to wait until he paid everything off and could buy you more.”
I was quiet, my mind racing.
“He fucked up Y/N, and he knows that. But Noah cares about you so much.”
I laughed bitterly, “Yeah, he cares so much he went behind my back to purposefully deceit me. I probably would’ve given him the pills anyway if he asked, considering they were doing fuck all.”
Nicholas turned to face me on the bed, watching me carefully as another tear fell from my eyes.
“Why do I still want to trust him?” My voice strained as my vision blurred.
“Because you care about him too.”
I let out a frustrated groan as I pressed my palms into my eyes, “I see so much of myself in him. So much of who I was; and If I got out, so can he.”
“Who were you?” Nicholas asked now, curiously staring. I knew he had questions too. He knew that I had a bigger role within their world than initially presented; that was evident after he saw my involvement last night. The two of us have grown closer, and I knew that I’d have to trust him, and the other boys.
But It was hard to admit the shit I’ve done wrong.
“I’ll tell you guys soon,” I said as I turned away, afraid to look a him, “Once I get over the fear of you guys knowing who I used to be.”
Nicholas reached over, placing a hand on top of my own. He gave me a warm smile, “We of all people can’t judge you Y/N.”
My breath hitched in my throat as shame coated my throat, “Maybe, but there’s a reason I ran from who I used to be.”
+++++
NOAH
I sucked in a breath as my padded fist collided with the covered fabric, the punching bag swinging back towards me before throwing another punch at it again, sending the bag spiralling.
And you know that we’re racing sand But we’re stronger than we were before And their forked tongues won’t lead the way You’re not pure anymore
My forehead beaded with sweat as my headphones blared, chest heaved with the adrenaline.
I bounced back and forth as I threw more punches, letting the anger seep through me.
The sins run red, but they won’t live forever You’ll be forever fake Will the marks I lay out there come back to me?
I needed to apologize properly to Y/N, even if she didn’t want to talk to me. My heart also ached because I wanted her to see our first live show tonight; but I was worried she would request to take the night off, just as she did at the cafe this morning.
I punched the bag a few more times before stepping back and grabbing my water bottle that lay against the wall. I threw the boxing glove off of my hand before I took a few sips of water, letting the cool liquid coat my throat.
Going to the gym was a way I could let out my frustration; an escape to physically release the pent-up energy that began to suffocate me. Thankfully no one else was in the gym, leaving me alone to my thoughts.
All of this was my fault, and I was ashamed- but if Y/N and I were going to have any form of relationship moving forward, we needed to be honest with each other; no more secrets.
I was going to make an effort to earn her trust back, but I also needed to know more about her past.
I wiped my forehead with the bottom of my shirt, sighing heaving as the lyrics rang through my mind.
Together we’re trapped inside of the scales Under the greed, and the ego’s weight I won’t be slipping when we all fall into Into moral decay
I slid the glove back on, amping myself up to continue throwing punches. As I heaved I swung my arms, connecting with the bag a few more times, before the lights inside the gym turned off, leaving me in complete darkness.
Pulling out an earbud I spun around, staring at the vacant area. The windows were small, barely leading any light into the room. My chest tightened as I furrowed my brows. Was there a power outage?
I breathed heavily for a moment as I stood still, analyzing the room in confusion before walking towards the light switch. I flicked up the knob and the lights turned on, leaving me even more perplexed. They had just been shut off.
As I turned around I came face to face with a man and I jumped back in surprise, audibly yelling as my stomach dropped.
“What the fuck!”
He stared at me for a moment, and my eyes gazed over all his tattoos.
“Sebastian,” He smiled, the grillz shining amongst his teeth.
It was Vincent, unmasked. Thick brows laid above sunken blue eyes and a hollow jaw. He was bonier than I thought, with slight facial hair scruffed around his features.
��The fuck are you doing?” I held a hand on my chest as I stepped back from him.
“Theatrics?” He shrugged as he began running his fingers along the metal bars of the machinery. His hair lay until his shoulders was brunette and curly.
I watched him cautiously, “uh- how did you find me?”
Vincent chuckled, “a little birdie.”
My eyebrows furrowed at his response, “What do you want?”
The shine of his grillz taunted me as he glanced between me and the equipment. My stomach began to churn with uneasiness. He didn’t know what I looked like unmasked. How would he know I was here, of all places?
Vincent reached into his pocket, pulling out a silver quarter. He began twirling it between his fingers, watching it spin, “How about this…”
I eyed him, taking another step back.
“Heads, you tell me about your little friend Y/N.”
My gaze narrowed and my fists clenched at the mention of her name. What did he want with Y/N?
“Tails, you tell me about your masked friend.”
I chewed my cheek as I glared. So he didn’t know they were the same person, but I didn’t know why the mask was relevant, or Y/N for that matter. “Why do you need to know about either?”
Vincent smirked as he held up the coin, ignoring my question, “What do you think it’ll be? Heads or tails?”
He then flipped the coin with his thumb, the both is us watching it spin in the air before landing in his palm. He glanced at me in excitement before flipping it onto the back of his palm. He removed his hand, revealing tails.
“ah, I was hoping for this one.”
I frowned, “I have nothing to tell you about it.”
“You know who wears the mask.”
I shook my head, “I don’t.”
Vincent’s eyes gleamed in knowing, “but you do.”
“I just hired someone to help,” I said, walking back towards my backpack and water bottle. The man followed behind.
“But how did you come in contact with a member of Fidelio. Specifically the volto mask.”
“Fidelio?” I raised a brow, “I have no fucking idea what you’re on about.”
Vincent grabbed my arm, pulling me back toward him.
“Fuck off!” I yelled, riping from his grasp, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. So can you back off?”
“That member has been missing for months,” He said hastily.
I stared at him in incredulity. This guy was nuts.
He paused, watching me for a moment, eyes darting across my lost expression, “you seriously have no idea?”
“No!” I yelled, grabbing my backpack from the ground, and swinging it over my shoulder.
“Have you ever seen the movie Eyes Wide Shut?” Vincent asked. I shook my head again.
“Ok,” He ran a hand over his face, “Well Fidelio is a cult that took inspiration from the movie- minus all the weird sex and orgy stuff.”
I scoffed, “And this is relevant, why?”
“Because that cult is one of the biggest groups of underground drug dealers and crime syndicates in North America, and they’ve stopped business since that mask has disappeared.”
Something clicked once he mentioned crime syndicate; I remember briefly hearing from Jolly about how there were a few heists pulled off by a group with masks… Venetian masquerade masks. I sucked in a quick breath, hoping Vincent didn’t notice.
“Ok, great.” I shrugged, clenching the strap of my bag, “So this person I hired was probably inspired by their work and liked the mask.”
Vincent shook his head rapidly, “They knew the code.”
I watched him, “Well so did you. Are you a member then?”
He laughed at me as if what I had said was hilarious, “Me? Psh I’m flattered you’d assume, but no. My boss has been trying to take them down for years.”
“So you know the code, how?”
Vincent shrugged, “Boss knows that’s how they communicate.”
“Well, then your point of my hire knowing the code is useless if others know it too,” I stated, beginning to walk past him, “Nice chat. I’ll see you at the end of the week with more drugs.”
Vincent yelled after me, “Wait. I need to know more about this Y/N Y/L/N.”
I halted to a stop, refusing to turn around as my jaw tightened. He may not know that Y/N was wearing that mask, but he knew something related to her name.
“You stole the meds from her?” He asked.
I turned my head to the side, body remaining still as I refused to look at him, “Your coin landed on tails.”
Vincent ignored my comment, “My boss wonders where all the drugs I get come from; especially if they’re prescription. Keep track in case anything begins to link back to us.” I wanted to walk out, but curiosity kept me frozen in place.
“I told him her name, and he says he knows her,” Vincent said slowly, “been looking for her for years. So do you know her? Or was it a random theft?”
The pace of my heart picked up, but I didn’t want Vincent to notice my nerves.
“Random theft,” I faced him now, responding without hesitation, “No fucking idea who that bitch is. Do you know how many people I steal from? And have stolen from since then?”
My throat clenched as I insulted Y/N, but I needed to make it believable.
Vincent nodded, eyes analyzing my own as we started each other down. After a brief moment of silence, he spoke again, “Do you remember her address?”
With a hard expression, I bore into his blue orbs, “No.”
He glanced at me, flipping the coin in his hand once again, “Well, if you do, you know who to call.”
His shoulder brushed mine as he walked past me toward the entrance of the gym, “See ya, Noah.”
My eyes slimmed in distaste as I followed his figure before I froze at the realization of what he called me.
Noah.
I’ve never told him my first name.

Y/N
“You gonna come to the show tonight?” Folio asked as we lay on the couch in the living room, watching TV. I had put on Naturo as a way to calm my nerves, and Ruffilo and Folio had heard the intro, immediately bolting up the stairs in excitement.
I rolled my head to look at him, “I do work tonight, so you couldn’t make me not go even if you wanted to.”
Folio and Ruffilo laughed, and I smiled, turning my attention back to the show.
“How are we gonna celebrate?” Nicholas asked, nudging my side, “We gotta have some drinks together.”
I squirmed at his touch, laughing, “I don’t know. I can ask to be off early since I’m starting at 4 today. You guys play at 11 pm, right?”
Nicholas nodded, “Yeah, 45 min set or something.”
“Noah will be happy you’re coming,” Nick said, and as if Noah heard his name, the front door opened, revealing the long-haired brunette, his face dishevelled.
The three of us looked at him, and I immediately sunk into the couch in an attempt to hide myself, but Noah’s eyes locked onto mine. He kicked off his shoes before standing at the bottom of the stairs.
“We need to talk. Bedroom, now.” He said with haste, grubbing the wooden railing.
“Yeesh,” Folio mumbled, glancing at me before back at Noah, “That’s not how you turn a girl on Noah.”
“Fuck off Nick,” Noah said, waiting for me to get up.
“Y/N.”
His stern tone left my body shivering and so I obliged, standing up and leaving the Nick’s to follow Noah up the stairs.
I trailed behind him and he closed the door to my bedroom once both of us were inside. He turned to look at me with accusation.
“Does Fidelio ring a bell?”
My mouth dried as the word left his lips, my lungs struggling to suck in a much-needed breath. How did he know?
My palms began to sweat as my fingers wrapped around each other, a form of distraction, “Like uh, Beethoven’s Opera?”
Noah rolled his eyes, “Don’t play dumb. The mask.”
My throat warmed in apprehension with the heartbeat that began trailing up the skin, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
I should just tell him. What’s stopping me?
“Are you the missing member with the Volto mask?” Noah asked, holding the sides of my arms, his fingers squeezing against the dark blue long sleeve I wore.
Fear.
Tears pricked my eyes as my chest rose quickly, the onset of a panic attack beginning to set in. Noah noticed, his grip loosening as his chestnut eyes softened.
“You need to tell me Y/N,” He whispered as I began shaking. Noah pulled me into his chest, enveloping me against his body.
I whispered into the fabric he wore, “Yes.”
Noah’s hand trailed up my back, cupping my head in a comforting manner as he held me. Our bodies swayed gently in a moment of brief silence.
“Do you know Vincent?” He asked.
I hiccuped as tears fell, shaking my head, “No I don’t think so…but he knows the code.”
You think that I can’t see through it all? Who would walk back and risk it all for me now? Is this how breaking point sounds?
“He found me at the gym,” Noah began, pulling me from his body to look up at him, “He was asking about you. With the mask, and without.”
My eyes widened as I stared at him, shaky breaths on the verge of hyperventilation crawling from my chest, “Does he know it’s me?”
Noah shook his head, “No, but his boss recognizes your name. And of course, he knows about the Fidelio syndicate.”
I swallowed harshly, digesting the information.
“He knows your name because it was on the bottle when I sold your pills; I guess recognized it.” Noah sighed, taking a step back from me, turning on his heel with a hand on his forehead.
“I thought I recognized your mask,” He threw his head back in frustration, “But I couldn’t remember from where… and then I googled after Vincent told me.”
Noah slid his phone out of his pocket, scrolling for a moment before pulling up a news article from a few months ago.
Aftermath Broken promises collapse Bodies lay like shattered glass Hold the pieces, feel how nothing ever lasts
Tumblr media
With tunnel vision fading in How I've thirsted for the end Pull me closer till I'm in over my head
My eyes skimmed the news article, and any words I had forming caught in my throat.
Noah’s eyes were hollow, “You came here, to Los Angeles not long after this was released…”
I sucked in a breath, “I told you I was running.”
“That’s why you gave me a chance,” Noah said, pulling the phone from my face, and placing it back into his pocket, “You were no better than I am.”
Were.
Past tense. He knew things had changed.
To have someone understand your mind is a different kind of intimacy, and Noah read every part of me at this moment.
“I escaped,” I whispered, barely audible as my voice cracked, “I didn’t want that life. I was used, angry, and unworthy.”
We are broken bodies bound for еach other In the impact, we become antimatter The dust hasn't settled but we feel the decay
“Your past does not define you,” Noah breathed softly, pulling me into another hug, “You were a result of circumstance…If anything it makes me respect you even more with how far you’ve come.”
Torn limb from limb, I am swearing your name Our hands collide, we brace together In the impact, we become antimatter
“I’m proud of you.”
Noah’s words rang in my ear as I cried, holding myself against his chest. My knuckles whitened through the grip I held on his sweater, my body vibrating through the pain. I’m proud of you. No one has ever said that to me.
I sobbed into his body for a few more moments as he squeezed me with compassion, taking in all the emotions I displayed for him.
“I knew what it was like being in your shoes,” I sniffed, “I’m still lost, but I’m finding my way. You deserve to escape too.”
Noah’s grip tightened before he pulled away, “I see it now.”
My mind was still racing at Vincent and the information Noah brought.
“Do you know who his boss is?” I asked Noah, even more nervous now. I didn’t know many people within the drug ring; I always played on the sidelines.
Was it someone who knew my true identity?
We're waiting in the wreckage for the sun to rise I'm staring at the fractures no one else can see, they're so complete When morning comes, will there be anyone left to find? My vision starts to surrender, as colors subvert the night
“I went by a different name,” I watched Noah carefully, “Y/N Y/L/N is my real name. Only two people back home know it, other than my extended family… that I know of.”
“I mean that’s smart. I don’t know who his boss is,” Noah said, his face contorting, “but maybe he’s tied back to you?”
I sighed anxiously. I had no idea who Vincent’s boss could be, but my stomach churned at the idea of it being one of the members of Fidelio.
“You risked everything coming to help me rob the pharmacy then… why?” Noah grabbed my hands, placing them gently within his, “Especially because you chose to wear the mask.”
I shrugged, hands warming from his touch, “I-I don’t know. I just- I would do anything to help you escape from this life. You asked me for help, how could I say no? Especially when I have enough experience?”
One of Noah’s hands travelled up my arm, resting below my chin. He pushed gently, making me look up into his October eyes.
Stolen by auroras, our bodies re-align Magnetic in the impulse, show me the other side Suspended in the ether, till I felt you in my chest I know we're not alone, but I'm in over my head
“I’m sorry I broke your trust. I’m sorry I didn’t ask you about the pills, and I’m sorry I stole them.” His eyes darted across my face, sincerity radiating from his pupils, “I will never do anything like that again; over my dead body.”
His words burned into my skin through the touch of his fingertips. I knew he was sorry, and I knew he felt bad. He made a mistake, he wasn’t perfect. He was human.
“I forgive you, Noah. You need the money,” I said, “You’re almost free.”
Noah pulled me closer to his chest and I leaned into his touch, our lips brushing against each other gently. My stomach spiralled with nerves as Noah’s warm breath escaped his lips before he placed them delicately against my own. It was a different kind of kiss; my limbs tingled as my mind warmed with admiration. It wasn’t hungry or desperate, it wasn’t filled with haste. It was proof that Noah accepted me as I was- just as had accepted him. It made me feel vulnerable.
We are broken bodies bound for each other In the impact, we become antimatter
+++++
The boys arrived at Sammy’s around 9 pm, sitting along the bar as they waited. They periodically kept trying to talk to me as I waited tables and catered to guests.
“Folio I’m so glad you’re telling me a story about the biggest fish you ever caught,” I began as I poured a few shots, “But you do know I am on the clock, right?”
Nick frowned and I gave him an empathetic smile. I loved having them here since it made work much more entertaining, but at the same time, I couldn’t stop getting distracted by their conversation and by Noah’s presence.
I couldn't help but steal glances at the long-haired gentleman when he would look away, admiring the way his smile lit up his eyes, or the scrunch of his nose when Nicholas made a joke; and I could feel his eyes burning into me every time I walked away, or turned to make a drink.
“Well,” Nick took a sip of his beer, “if you could fuck Noah in the bathroom at work you can hear about my fish,” He pouted and my eyes widened, along with Noah’s.
Noah and I shared eye contact in a knowing glance. Both of us immediately flushed and looked away in awkwardness. I shot Nick a glare before I turned around, bringing the shots to the customers who ordered.
Nicholas burst out laughing behind me as he doubled over the counter, pulling Jolly down with him.
“Dude that was so out of pocket,” Nicholas wheezed as Jolly’s chortle echoed through the busy room.
The bar was decently packed tonight with people anticipating the first live music showcase. I was just as excited; because I couldn’t wait to hear them perform somewhere outside of the basement.
My mind kept tracing back to the realization that now that the mask was back, I was going to be traceable. My entire shift I felt uneasy, worried that with every turning corner someone who knew could show up; but I pushed away those thoughts, remaining happy and supportive as the boys were going to be on stage soon.
I walked back behind the counter, smiling at them.
“Guys want a shot for some liquid courage?” I asked, holding up a bottle of tequila.
“You know it,” Folio nodded.
“We should probably do a soundcheck, yeah?” Jolly raised a brow at Noah who nodded in agreement.
“That’s what bands do, right?” Noah said, spinning on the bar chair as I placed the shot and a lime wedge in front of each of them.
“To uh-” I raised my empty glass to cheer with them, but I couldn’t finish my sentence, because they hadn’t chosen a name for the band.
“To Glass Houses?” Jolly shrugged, and Noah mimicked him. The four boys took the drink, squinting at the bitterness before sucking on the lime.
“We haven’t chosen a name… but we can go by glass houses for now,” Noah laughed, before standing up.
I smiled up at them, giving the boys a thumbs up, “Good luck gentlemen, you got this!”
“Thanks, Y/N,” Nicholas smiled back, following Jolly and Nick towards the stage.
Noah turned to look at me, “Don’t judge us too hard, ok?”
“I’m not the cool one in a band,” I chuckled as I mixed another drink, “No judgment here, only proud to say I know you personally.”
“Ah yes,” Noah licked his lips before flashing a wide smile, “personally.” His tone insinuated something much more and I couldn’t help but shake my head as my face warmed once again.
“Break a leg, as they say.” I cheered, and Noah nodded at me before meeting the rest of the boys.
+
Half an hour later it was eleven, and I asked my boss if I could be off early. She didn’t mind, so I grabbed a rum and coke before sitting at the seats that were in front of the stage.
I could tell they were nervous as each of them fiddled with their equipment. A few moments later the stereo died down and Noah tapped the microphone, his hair cascading over his face as he spoke.
“Uh, hey!” He began the feedback echoing slightly through the bar. I smiled encouragingly up at him as his eyes met mine, and he smiled back as if speaking to me.
“So this is our first gig, we don’t have an official name but call us Glass Houses for now!”
The small crowd clapped as Noah looked towards the boys, nodding at them.
“So I guess we’ll start with a cover of Come Undone by Duran Duran!”
Another applause sounded and Jolly began playing the riff before Folio’s drums and Ruffilo’s bass joined.
Noah jumped on the floor as his hair whipped around, feeling the into and the crowd cheered, before he gripped the mic stand, preparing to sing.
“Mine immaculate dream Made breath and skin, I've been waiting for you Signed, with a home tattoo Happy birthday to you was created for you.”
I bobbed my head, proud as guests began singing along. It wasn’t until Noah’s voice became deeper and raspier with the chorus that I smiled wider, heart hammering as he sang, watching me periodically from the stand.
“Who do you need? Who do you love When you come undone? Who do you need? Who do you love When you come undone?”
The evening went on as the boys covered various songs, before getting ready to perform their last song for the night.
“Thank you guys so much for jamming along!” Noah yelled before sipping his water bottle, “It’s about to get heavy, so I want to see you mother fuckers headbang!”
The crowd cheered as Noah introduced Glass Houses, and the song began.
I banged my head with the music as their hair flew in spirals, pulling out my phone to record them.
As I opened my phone I saw a text message from an unknown number. Clicking on it my stomach immediately dropped as my limbs warmed with complete terror.
Los Angeles, hey? It’s about time we booked a vacation anyway. See you soon, my volto x

Mr. Smythe - A Seblaine Mrs. Winterbourne AU
A/N: I was hoping to have more of this written in time for today, but it's going to be a lot larger of a project, and I want to do it well. So instead, here's a little prologue for today, and hopefully I'll be able to actually start posting the full story sometime next year.
For Day 5 of 10 Days of Seblaine: Parents AU @seblaineworld
Summary: Blaine Anderson boards a train to Boston not entirely sure what he’s going to do once he gets there. All he knows is that he has less than a thousand dollars in his bank account, his two-month-old nephew in a carrier, and the sound of his father’s voice telling him not to come home. On the train, he meets Barry and Devon Smythe, a newlywed couple returning to the States with their recently adopted child to meet Barry’s family for the first time. But when the train crashes and Blaine awakes in the hospital to find out that he and his nephew have been mistaken for Devon Smythe and his child, he gets sucked into a whirlwind of lies trying to do what’s best by the child he doesn’t have the money to raise and Barry’s grieving family. But Barry’s twin brother, Sebastian, doesn’t trust that Blaine is really who he says he is, he just doesn’t know how to prove it.
Blaine’s brother was dead.
And Blaine didn’t cry.
Blaine didn’t cry when he got the phone call. He didn’t cry when he boarded the plane or when he got off. He didn’t cry at the funeral or at the moment a squirming infant he’d never met was placed in his arms for the first time. 
He didn’t know why.
If he felt numb, he’d understand it. But he didn’t. His heart was crushed by grief so much he didn’t know how it was still pumping. He wanted to scream at the world and curse at the sky and beg the god he didn’t believe in to just bring his brother back. He wanted to hold the baby so tight they merged into one person. 
The baby didn’t know what he’d lost. He was far too young to understand the pain Blaine was feeling. And all Blaine wanted to do was give him some of his pain so he could just fucking breathe. 
But he didn’t cry.
And he didn’t hold the baby tight enough to break it. 
He just sat resolutely, held his nephew with the most ridiculous name only Cooper could have come up with, and filled out the custody paperwork.
And then Blaine Anderson was a father. A single one at that.
Technically he was just an uncle with legal guardianship over his nephew. But that just sounded like a fancy way of saying 21 and a broke dad. 
He checked his bank account again. The amount hadn’t changed in the last ten minutes. 
$1,257.36.
Not the worst number to see. But not the best when you were trapped in New York City with a baby and no home to return to. 
“I’m not taking care of another one of your brother’s mistakes. Leave the kid in New York or don’t come home.”
Blaine had been tempted to do that. He didn’t have the money to raise a kid. Nor was he sure he had the temperament for it. And without his father’s assistance? There was no way he could feasibly keep Cooper’s child. 
But then he’d held him. And he’d opened his eyes. And they were Cooper’s. 
He couldn’t let go of the only thing he had left of his brother. This baby needed him and he needed this baby. So fuck his father, he was going to keep it. 
His nephew cooed in the baby carrier beside him. He lifted his hand to rest it on the baby’s stomach and he quieted. “Well, Cookie,” he said, “your father has left us with a real mess. And this time… I’m not sure I can fix it for him. 
“For you. 
“For us.”

Just as a general observation about Chris/Alba (and this really applies to any other of these ridiculous fake couples...) the more you try to "prove" you are a couple, the more I believe it's FAKE. Real couples don't have to do a dog and pony show on social media and tabloids to prove anything. If you're a real couple, you just are.
Real celebrity couples do PR to promote their projects or just to remind the public they exist, which is reasonable for them to do. They might even do extra stuff to prove they aren't breaking up or getting divorced, but no one questions they are an actual couple in the first place. The more they're trying to prove their real (particularly Alba since she's the one whose the no name in this relationship), the more I know your relationship is FAKE.
When Sebastian and Alejandra were together, that was so ridiculously fake. Of course CAA does nonsense like this, and they'll keep promoting their clients to do this nonsense because there will always be naïve people that believe it. Plus CAA probably can't come up with better strategies to promote their clients.
I mean sure Chris will probably be okay career wise. It's just this whole situation has probably done more to air dirty laundry about him than helped him. All the old gossip floating around for years that people dismissed, sound 100% more plausible now than it did before because "dating" a girl 16 years younger than you seems to confirm stories that you are into 20-something girls who are either really naïve or "just looking for a good time." This is on top of the fact Disney isn't around to help cover it up. I'll be more interest to see how Team Chris tries to clean up this mess that they got themselves in.

WAIT WAIT IDEAIDEA SJFJWKKR
OK YOU KNOW THAT SCENE IN SPY X FAM??!? THE SCHOOL INTERVIEW SCENE!!!
Considering the kid was an orphan commoner, other nobles may look down on them because of it.
Imagine a scenario where the Moriarty brothers decide to enroll the kid to a nearby prestigious school and one of the interviewers just throw passive aggressive comments about the kid's lineage etc etc
JAJAGAGA OMGS WHY HAVEN'T I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT??? I SWEAR,I LOST MY SH*T WHEN I SAW THAT PART FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!
and yes!! that will totally happen, because most of the nobels are already jerks,and when the news of Moriarty family adopting a kid,a commoner no less,spreads around,lots of people start talking.
Most of the royal familes will tell their children to not even speak to the Moriarty kid,to stay away from them because they're not the same level as them.
Although the Moriarty gang knows all these rumors ,and are bothered by them (because they're afraid they affect the child),the kid though ,tells them that they don't have a problem with it and they dont mind because they know its not true.
Although all of them are upset about it, (as soon as Sherlock had heard of these rumors he had stopped by to plan a murder with William. The kid didn't let them.) They dont do anything because they trust the child.
But when they sit at the interview,With William and Sherlock (because i couldn't decide who would go with William. So who better than his bf,am i right?) While the others wait outside ,one of the teachers start mocking them and getting into their personal lives.
Both William and Sherlock are well known in the London,so its not hard to find trash rumors about the two of them. But they manage well (if you dont count the comment on William's background which made Sherlock letting out a hysterical laughter and jumping up on the man if William hadn't held him back. Or the how the man scoffed and particularly called Sherlock a useless trash and had William pulling out his knife if Sherlock hadn't held his hand under the table.) Until the teacher turned to the child,and with a sadistic grin,asked something that no one had ever asked them.
"which do you like the best?your real dad or the new ones?"
That had the principal and the other teacher sweating;asking the teacher to back off.
But the man only smirked further and leaned closer.
"what?im only asking some simple questions. Surely they must love their real mom and dad no?who would want a replacement?"
And just as William and Sherlock are about to explode,they hear a tiny sound.
Their heads whip towards it;eyes wide,mouth agape,and heart shattering as they watch crystal clear tears falling down from the child's eyes.
"Mommy...Daddy...i want mommy and daddy..."
William is the first one to get up and rush to their side while Sherlock just sits there...numb.
William tries to sooth the child; hugging them and telling them that he's there along with Sherlock,but the child only clings to him and cries harder.
When the man smiles and looks back to the other man sitting in front of him,two things happen at once :
William,upon seeing the child's flushes cheeks and puffy eyes, slowly pulls out his knife. But just as he's about to turn around,he hears the sound of wood breaking and someone screaming.
When he turns back,he sees Sherlock's hand in the middle of the broken table;his blood dripping from his knuckles and the teacher fallen down to the ground and shaking like a leaf.
Sherlock gets up,dusts his suit and as William with the child in his arms join him,he pulls out a cigarette and lights it up .
"I'm really sorry for myself that i thought,even for one second that this shithole will be suitable for our child."
Then he nods toward the other two teachers,
"sorry for the mess. I'll pay for it."
And with that,they leave the school. (But not before dragging Sebastian and Louis with themselves so they dont commit murder in the daylight and Albert burning the whole place down.)
Ps : im crying over this one;i needed some Sherliam in my life 😭😭😭 pls ask me to write about William dealing with Sherlock's injured hand,i love drama 😭😭😭😭

oh no
spoilers here death, blood, and tell me if I need to add something
"Is this really the time for a game of chess?" Ciel asked
"Obsessing about won't help you solve the case." Madam red answered sternly
"Why not just leave it all to Sebastian, dear?"
"Cause he's simply our chess piece."
"Me and Y/n are the one who moves him by giving orders, but he's no ordinary piece."
"He can move as many squares as he needs to."
"Like that." Ciel said, knocking down the chess piece
"That is against the rules you know?!" madam red asked, putting the piece back
"It would be if this was a game."
"But rules such as that have no true meaning in the real world." Y/n said, getting up from her shared seat next to Ciel to go look at the rain
"There are always knights who break the rules and pawns who betray."
"If you let your guard down,... it's checkmate." Ciel said putting down his piece
"You must've had other options in life besides policing England's underworld."
"I'm sure my sister, your mother, wanted something else for you both."
"And yet after their deaths you returned to be the queens guard dog and made your sister, her butterfly."
"Is it because your trying to avenge your parents murders?"
"The need for revenge is a funny thing, it won't bring back the dead, nor will it bring them happiness."
'I feel like something bad is going to happen, but why?' Y/n thought rubbing her ring and kissing it
"I'm going to my chambers, I'll be relaxing for a little while, call me if you need me." Y/n said, walking out the door
You were drifting off to sleep, when you heard Ciel and Sebastian talking, you just stayed quiet and listened in on what they were saying
You were then woken up by Ciel and got dressed to go investigate
                   On the back of your dress was a bow, it was attached to your skirt and you wore it because why not 😋
Goofy ahh dress
"He'll show if we stake out this place, right?" Ciel checked
"Yes."
"You know, I've realized the murdered prostitutes has other things in common besides their profession."
"The most beautiful glossy black hair."
'I swear if he's looking at a cat right now I'm going to lose it.' Y/n thought
"But I still don't understand why he had to kill them all."
"So very lovable it could be a sin."
"And what's more I-."
"So soft."
"Ah so soft."
Ciel lost his shit
"Listen when I'm talking to you!"
'And he's petting a cat.' Y/n thought moving to were Ciel was before to stay on the look out
"How could have somebody gotten past us?!"
"Let's go."
You all ran up to the house and Ciel forced open the door but you regret looking inside
On the floor was the dead prostitute, the sight was not meant for young children like you both, but you still dealt with it
"Come away." Sebastian grabbed Ciel and jumped back, you jumped back too, but you walked in front to guard Ciel, holding a dagger
"You've made quiet a bloody mess of things in there, Jack the Ripper, or rather, Grell Sutcliffe."
"No, no, your wrong, I heard the scream and rushed to help but-"
"You can drop the innocent act, Grell."
'How, why?! He seemed completely innocent, just a regular old and shy butler!' You thought
'No, forget about that, protect Ciel, I can't let him get hurt!'
Grell's appearance was changing, she was flirting with Sebastian while you were thinking of a way to make her get away
'This is a Grimm reaper for crying out loud! I cant kill her, I'm just a human! I'll guard Ciel for now.'
Then madam red walked out, you were shaking at this point, you felt like throwing up and crying
Everything felt wrong
Ciel then starting talking about what they all had in common, how he suspected her
"My darling niece, why do you cry? A beautiful face like yours shouldn't be covered by tears, or anything at all, I knew I had to protect you from the day I saw you, you were so pretty and fragile, gentle and glowing like a diamond, yet here you are now, fierce like a tiger, holding a weapon, ready to attack your own blood and flesh. My, how you wound me..." madam red said, hugging herself
"How unfortunate this turned out to be, if you both had let it go we could play chess again..."
"BUT NOW YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING!"
A chainsaw was about to strike both you and Ciel but Sebastian had caught it just in time
While Sebastian and Grell were talking, you cut the bow and your skirt came down, revealing what you had underneath, shorts and a garter belt, holding bullets, and a gun.
"Sebastian, kill them." Ciel said sternly
Y/n had put her dagger away , holding onto Ciels arm while he was holding her waist, both trying to protect each other
"You’re still the queens guard dog and butterfly, which means that I'm now your prey, but if it's hunt or be hunted,... there is only one thing I can do!" Madam red charged toward you both, scratching your arm deeply and also getting Ciels
Ciel was pressed against a wall while you were behind madam red, holding onto your arm
"Your a doctor, how could you do it."
"You wouldn't understand if I told you! Your just a child!" Madam red yelled choking Ciel
'Damn it, i stepped the wrong way and now my ankle is messed up, I can't walk properly, please, give me one last chance...'
'Or maybe this could be the last? No! Do it! Do it to protect him! You can't lose him!'
"You shouldn't have been born in the first place!"
"NO!"
Y/n rushed towards Ciel and held him protectively, ready to take the blow
"Stop Sebastian, don't kill her!"
"Hurry up and kill the brat already!" Grell yelled
"I can't..."
"I can't kill them..."
"I can't kill their beloved children..."
Grell was telling madam red to kill you both, rushing her
"But these dear children- they are my-"
Grell ran his chainsaw through madam red
Y/n was having trouble breathing, tears ran down her face, she could barely take a breath, she then looked down, taking out her hair stick, hair coming undone and down
She then looked back up and stared at Grell with hatred, taking out her dagger once again.
"If, you loved her so,"
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN WITH HER?!"
Y/n started shooting at Grell, missing sometimes but mostly aiming for her legs, still in shock about the events
Then she lost consciousness...
Sebastian knocked y’all out 😍

Okay so, Carla is slightly an outlier in this group-- seeing as I've never had the chance to play any of the game series he's from (and may not ever be able to, unless i find finished English patches and try to fuck around with that route--) But regardless of that, i've heard his voice via some videos online in the past-- and My God-- this man could end me. (and i should i get to play any game routes featuring him, imma probably die on the spot--)
Sakurai Takahiro
{as Mukami Ruki - Diabolik Lovers}
Again, i doubt i'll ever be able to play his routes in game, but-- i do believe at one point i watched the anime adaptation that was made for More Blood, and even if it was a train wreck (like the rest of the anime for this series lol) i can at least recall enjoying Ruki's VA out of all that mess XD {also, bonus mention for one of his characters songs here, as i just now heard this one today-- and rather enjoyed it u w u}
Daisuke Ono / J. Michael Tatum
{as Sebastian Michaelis - Kuroshitsuji}
I-- don't really have much to say on this point lol, aside from the fact that these men doing their voices for Sebastian 100% fit the spirit of this list XD (i'm also skipping giving a link here, because i'm sure anyone reading can go find an example of both VAs in this role very easily lol)
Morita Masakazu
{as Yanagi Aiji - Collar x Malice}
Yanagi sits in kind of an odd space honestly lol-- because on the one hand, i enjoy just listening to him-- thanks to "older brother/caring dad" sorta vibe he gives me... but at the same time, i can't deny that certain voice dips he does-- they do hit a lil different. {for a better show case of what i mean, check out this vid of his "interview" via the voice recorder extra-- tho i sadly couldn't find one with the eng sub}
Kimura Ryouhei
{as Shiraishi Kageyuki - Collar x Malice}
hhhh-- Shiraishi, my boi... i love this man-- and like, his voice wins a spot here because, much like with Micchan-- i'd lowkey die if i ended up as a target of the teasing he enjoys doing. {and the bonus voice recorder section for him as well--}
Suwabe Jun'ichi
{as Abraham Van Helsing - Code: Realize}
Van somewhat falls in line with Yanagi, as i find his voice rather soothing to listen to... and i admit, my frame of reference for them both is a little fuzzy--thanks to not having played either game for a while... But-- i do remember an extra story from the first C:R game, which gives us all sleepy voice Van, and just-- that one lowkey ended me.
Hirakawa Daisuke
{as Saint-Germain - Code: Realize}
{& Itsuki Mito - Secret xxx / Therapy Game}
listen-- just... listen-- Hirakawa earns his place here because as both bois, i could listen to this man talk for ages-- (much like the mentions below--) But-- thanks to certain scenes from the Secret xxx CD... i can not unhear this man doing spicy audio-- and that fact is forever going to end me. (and Itsuki doesn't get an example link, simply because i don't think i've got anything timmed from the CD he mainly features in--)
{Honorable mentions} This section is for voices that I adore listening to, but, they don't quite fall into the same category as the above list-- More so just that type of mood where it's the "i could listen to you talk for ages" sort of vibe lol
Hirakawa Daisuke's performance as Laito Sakamaki {Diabolik Lovers}
Taniyama Kishou performance as Ikki {Amnesia VN Series}

Since you were kind enough to send me an ask, I figured I'd return the favor! 3, 6, 12, 22 :3
Yayyy I got an ask :3. Thank you sm!! Now let's begin
3. Would you prefer punishment or reward tickles? Aaa that's hard. I would love to be a brat just to mess with a ler and then get mercilessly wrecked and teased till I can't think or speak for doing so but I also crave validation and being told I did good so I would love to be good and get soft and gentle t-words as a reward. So what I'm really saying is it depends on my mood lmaooo.
6. Are you easily able to admit you like it? Absolutely not! Lmaoooo. If you put me in a position where I have to admit it I literally turn into a flustered mess.
12. If you could be tickled by/tickle anyone(real or a fictional character!) who would you choose? Oh my fucking gosh lemme tell you. As far as fictional characters go I would love to be t-worded(wrecked or soft) the most by Natasha Romanoff the Black Widow herself(you may say ofc and if you are shut up??🙄), Yelena Belova, Kate Bishop and Wanda!! Also wouldn't mind getting t-worded by Nobara Kugisaki from Jujustu Kaisen and Mikasa from attack on titan! And real people. Literally all the members from Mamamoo( Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa)bro omfg /)//////(\. I feel like Bang Chan, Lee Know, and Felix from Stray Kids would be the best lers🤔. Also literally a majority of the Marvel cast. And that mostly applies to the actors for all the Marvel characters I listed previously lmaooo. So Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Hailee Steinfield, and Elizabeth Olsen! (I know I've literally mostly listed females but shut up lmaoooo. I'm feeling very gay these days. But just for shits and giggles I'll throw in Sebastian Stan too)
22. Soft cuddly tickles or rough more intense tickles? Again just depends on my mood. These days though I find that I'm craving soft cuddly ones but there are days when I just need to be completely wrecked hehe🙈.

"that was painfully sexist" | t.h.
marvel cast x actress!reader
warnings: sexism and swearing
summary: at a panel for the new avenger's film, the questions differ drastically between the female and male actors on stage.
wc: 1.4k
Tumblr media
"Okay, a microphone is coming your way, sir."
"Hi! I'm Leonard with Pop Times Blog. My question is for Y/N." your eyes found the bearded man who stood amongst the crowd of reporters.
You nodded, signalling for him to continue, "Playing Silk or Cindy Moon must've came with a lot of challenges. One of them being the costume you are in for most of the film. Can you speak about that and how it fit?" he paused at your skeptical expression, "Like, we all know the suit is skin tight, so did you eat anything special or workout a lot and are you able to wear anything underneath it? Or do you wear a thong and no bra?"
You let out an unenthusiastic chuckle at his question. Beside you, you could hear your cast mates scoffing under their breath. It was common for the women of the MCU to get asked such questions and it saddened you that people normalized such a thing.
Leaning forward, you clasped your hands together and smiled before Robert reached behind Tom Holland and tapped your shoulder, "Would you like me to say something?"
You shook your head, but gave him a grateful grin before returning to the 'man' that asked you such a question, while maintaining eye contact you spoke, "Well, I think the most difficult part about wearing the Silk costume is taking it off after a long day because of how sweaty I get after shooting," you began to fan yourself dramatically, "It all just clings to my body like a second skin and since I am completely nude underneath, it just adds to the problem." sarcasm dripped from your lips as your cast mates snickered at your words.
You quietly laughed to yourself, "I'm only kidding. That question seemed like such a joke that I presumed you expected a joking answer." you cleared your throat, "In all seriousness, it's an honour wearing the suit and I did visit the gym and do some physical fitness regularly to prepare for the role, as did all my cast mates. As for what I wore underneath," you grinned cheekily, having too much fun messing with the reporter, "A Spider-Man onesie was my go-to."
The whole room let out laughs at your words as Tom grabbed your hand and gave you a small squeeze, feeling sorry that you had to answer such absurd questions.
"I hope everyone doesn't sexualize Cindy Moon. She's only a teenager in the film, so keep it in your pants people. That shit is illegal." Anthony pointed an accusing finger at the crowd.
"Thank you for your thoughtful question, Leonard!" Scarlett spoke up, "I hope you got the answer you were looking for."
"Okay, next person."
You sat back in your seat and fiddled with Tom's fingers as the questions were asked towards your cast mates.
"You handled that impressively well, love." Tom whispered in your ear.
You gave him a smile and a shrug before your name got called again, "My question is for Y/N and Tom Holland." a lady with curly blonde hair stood up, "Since Silk and Spider-Man's abilities are very similar, did you two bond over that during shooting or did it cause some rivalry between your characters due to the similarities?"
You felt a wave of relief at the question, thankful that it wasn't another sexist one. Tom looked at you before answering.
"Yeah, yeah. We bonded a lot over that fact and I don't think it caused any rivalry between us. I hope not." he chuckled before you leaned towards the mic.
"No, no. No rivalry. Just a lot of banter about whose character is stronger and who swings around better. It's a lot of fun having someone on set whose stunts are basically the same as yours. And Tom and I have both agreed that Silk is faster and better than Spider-Man." you said that last part quickly drawing laughs and a gasp from Tom.
He looked at you incredulously, "Not true! Spider-Man's suit is so much cooler than Silk's." he huffed like a child.
You smirked, "Who makes their webbing in a high school chemistry class and who has organic silk coming out of her fingertips that she also used to create her own suit?"
Your friends laughed at the banter beside you before Sebastian started to speak, "I have to agree with Y/N on this one. Silk also has that cool ass eidetic memory."
Chris Evans agreed, "And her Silk Sense is a thousand times stronger than Spider-Man's Spidey Sense."
"Isn't she able to know who an attacker is before she even sees them?" Hemsworth asked to which everyone nodded.
"Sorry, Spidey. Silk's just a top tier hero." Robert patted his shoulder as Tom sulked.
The questions began again as the laughter died down. You leaned over to Tom's ear, "Still love the actor who plays Spider-Man even if his character is inferior to mine." he shook his head with a smile at your words.
Questions ranged from the generic ones of the funniest moments on set to who's most likely to become a villain. Your nerves died down as no incompetent person asked another sexist question. Until one did.
"I have a question for Y/N." she was short with jet black hair, "Being around all these attractive men must be a challenge for you as a young female adult. It couldn't have been easy to control yourself around them. Have you had any sexual relationships with any of them or thought about engaging in any?"
Your jaw hung open at her words and before you could muster up a retort, Tom let his anger get the best of him. Was it his anger, his jealousy or his protectiveness? A mix of all three.
"That was painfully sexist." he spoke into the microphone. "I don't see how any of that is relevant to the film. Y/N is an outstanding actress and it's outrageous that you decide to focus on who she fucks rather than her talent."
"What in the actual fuck did she just ask?" Sebastian added, making you laugh.
Chris Evans spoke up next, "Indeed. I thought this was a promotion for the movie not a real life dating app."
Benedict chuckled, "I fail to see how Y/N's private life holds any relevancy to this panel or the film itself."
"It's twenty-nineteen, people! Leave your sexist ass shit at home!" Anthony exclaimed drawing claps from the cast.
Elizabeth shook her head, "I've had my fair share of inappropriate questions, but nothing as horrid as that."
"First y'all ask about her underwear, now you ask about her sex life? Jesus Christ." Scarlett pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Seriously, she's like a daughter to me. That was incredibly disrespectful." Robert added with a disappointed head shake.
Similar comments were added by the rest of the cast as you felt an overwhelming amount of love wash over you. You were so unimaginably grateful for the people next to you.
"You don't have to answer that." Paul Bettany reminded you.
You shook your head and cleared your throat, "Thank you, guys." you looked to your cast mates, "But I'll answer. No, I have not. This cast is my second family and I've grown greatly as a person with them. I'm immensely thankful for the opportunity to call them my friends. And I agree, these men sitting up here with me are undoubtedly attractive, but they are also a great pain in the ass at times," everyone laughed at your choice of words, "And have I thought about having sex with any of them? Nope. Just Scar, Zoe and Liz." you finished with a wink as the room clapped for you.
You couldn't help but to feel a slight bit of sympathy for the woman. Her question was, without a doubt, uncalled for and unbelievably sexist, but the comments from the cast must've made this her most embarassing moment.
"I'm sure you meant no harm with your question. But a little heads up for next time; most actors prefer to talk about their career and their films rather than who they are laying in bed with. But thank you for coming out. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day." you gave her a genuine smile as she cowered back into her seat.
Robert once again reached over and gave your shoulder a squeeze, proud of how you handled the situation.
Tom interlaced your fingers with his and rubbed small circles on your knuckles.
You really were at home with these people and you couldn't have asked for a better family.

okay i'm going to ask 4 KNOWING the answer to it but i am asking a specific question that ties into 4. just. fyi. SO. hawke/varric. delightful. i love everything you write. do you have your own hawke or do you just write generic marian hawke AND IF YOU DO, please tell me about her thank you <3
dklfjgsdklfgj quill you're KILLIN ME!!! you are TOO KIND!!! hearing that the hawke/varric queen enjoys my hawke/varric content is enough to bring a tear to my eye :')
for the most part, when i do write hawke, i tryyyyyyyy to keep stuff mostly vague enough that anyone reading can plunk their hawke right on into it. "try," of course, being the operative word, ha! but. i DO have my own hawke!!! the thing is, i just...keep...all my da characters' names the defaults because GOD HELP ME I'M BAD AT NAMES!!! so my hawke is marian, yeah, but she's my marian, if that makes sense ;P she looks a BIT like default hawke, i suppose, in that she's got black hair and blue eyes and she's pale, but like. it's long black hair. and her face is rounder. and...
and this is going to be long.
i am so sorry.
i love my hawke so much.
writing asks!!!
every so often i get it into my head that one of these days i'm going to write a whole big thing about her story, but then i get in my own head and talk myself out of it BLAHBLAHBLAH ANYWAY. she's a dual-wielding purple rogue with the shadow specialization, and she's a pain in everyone's ass. she signed on with athenril when she got to kirkwall, and sorry bioware, but she ended up meeting varric fairly shortly after because you want me to believe - again, this is a callout to bioware - you want me to believe that some new hotshot troublemaker pops up in the underground and it takes varric fucking tethras a year to hear about them??? i think not.
the moment - the moment - athenril's contract is up hawke dips. she'd liked athenril ENOUGH, but all of a sudden here's this SMOOTH TALKING DWARF who can match her joke for joke and drink for drink, and the first time she goes "tell them who we are" or "oh maker, they haven't heard of us. can you BELIEVE they haven't HEARD of us???" on a job and varric just PICKS UP AND IMPROVS??? oh, there's no going back!
this should probably go without saying since it's ME we're talking about, but yes this leads to them being utterly in love, again, thanks bioware but i'll take it from here. there are ups and down here. the ghost of bianca is a real issue from time to time. anders threatening to drown them in blood to keep hawke safe also causes some bumps. but it's fine, don't worry, THEY'RE GOOD.
i am beginning to fall prey to my own obvious desire to write 300,000 words about my hawke. i am trying so haRD NOT TO DO THAT. but i ALSO don't just want to bullet point shit so sdklfjaskdfj the writer's conundrum.
in terms of the team, her closest friends are varric, anders and isabela, and really i think that combination of usual teammates speaks a bit for itself, lmao. there is no one - NO ONE!!!!! - on the team that she hates or doesn't like, per se, but she tends to butt heads with aveline and sebastian the most. aveline for obvious reasons, what with the whole being a professional criminal thing, and sebastian because HOO BOY THIS GIRL ISN'T THE CHANTRY'S (or the maker's, honestly) BIGGEST FAN!!
in terms of the hawke family, she's...a mess. it's a real all-that-remains situation in that, uh, she's...all that remains. because i am who i am as a person, most of the family dynamic is very heavily sort of...steeped in guilt, honestly. partly because i just lavish in the angst of it all, partly because i like playing her family history off of varric's, partly still because i just enjoy the whole idea of da2 being these people who come together to BE a family, idk.
but she feels a LOT of guilt and responsibility for being the one sort of left in charge after malcolm's passing, which leads to more guilt when she can't protect carver from What Happens, turning to even more guilt when she takes bethany into the deep roads because she wanted to go SO BADLY (but didn't take anders because he very much DID NOT want to go), and it just becomes this spiral where her relationship with leandra is a never-ending chasm of the blame game...and then more guilt when quentin enters the picture, lmao.
this is all stuff, btw, that is locked away tight, tight, tight in her chest; stuff no one ever gets to see because hawke is the funny one! the smiley one! the one who always has a joke ready! she can't be bothered by ANYTHING, she's FINE!!! (she's not) everything will be FINE!!! (it won't) she can handle this!!!! (she can't)
she has a strange relationship with viscount dumar in that she's not his biggest fan but enjoys the notoriety (read: $$$) that comes along with doing jobs for him. she's very intrigued by the arishok until She Very Suddenly Isn't. she very obviously sides with the mages, she very much is not a fan of cullen (after spending most of her life idolizing malcolm and trying to protect bethany, he gets about 3 words into the "mages aren't people like you or me" speech before the kill bill sirens start going off) or meredith and do not get her STARTED on elthina. she never really gets to make up her mind about orsino, but them's the breaks.
cannot stress this enough: she is. so fine. with what happens. at the end of act 3. she is so. fucking. fine with it. and the fact bioware didn't give us the option for hawke TO be fine with it. exhausts me to no end. she's so totally on board with what happens. she agrees with anders. she'd throw him a pizza party if she could. ice cream cake. the works.
after act 3 tho (and obviously all the angst the sudden departure from kirkwall and varric brings with it) she goes off with anders, mostly to ensure he doesn't get himself killed in the ensuing fallout. they end up hiding out amongst the avvar because god help me i love the avvar and their handling of mages. but the second she gets word from varric that shit's whack, she's at skyhold as quick as humanly possible, lmao.
this is already so many words so i'm just. i'm just gonna stop. but. yeah. that's...that's my hawke. default first name on the screen, original character in my heart.
if you got past the first para honestly, ty for reading XD

Russian Roulette - Pt. 6
Tumblr media
In this series, you will find: Alternative Universe, Soulmate plot, Angst, Fluff. In this chapter, you will find: Scott tells you Derek is missing, right on the night you got a nightmare with him. Then, Peter came to your bedroom trying to find out where his nephew is. Word count: 1.496 Pairings: Reader x Alpha!Peter Hale Original characters of this chapter: Sebastian, your host dad, and boss. Warnings: English is not my main language <3 Yeah, it was based on Russian Roulette by Rihanna Russian Roulette series: Chapter Five | Chapter 7 RUSSIAN ROULETTE MASTERLIST TEEN WOLF MASTERLIST
You took Derek to your bedroom and take care of his injuries. The girls were already sleeping as soon as Bennie and Sebastian. Both of you had spent part of the night talking about all the situation, and you finally found out how Scott became a werewolf. But then, Derek leaves, saying that he needs to hide, and you fell asleep.
But that night, you had a weird and terrifying dream.
You were trapped. You had chains on your wrist, and you were trapped in some kind of basement. A door opens, and a blond woman got in. And when she put a light over your face, you saw a scared Allison looking at you.
Then, you realized that you aren't trapped there. Derek was the real prisoner of that scene. You were just watching things from his perspective.
Sweating as hell, you woke up scared. When you met Derek that day in the car accident, the weird lady came to you. Then, when both of you come to the hospital, you suddenly had learned how to fight. And now after taking care of his injuries and chat with him through the night, you had a nightmare with him.
Always when you see him, something weird happens to you. Is that something common when you deal with werewolves?
You stand up from your bed, ready for another day of work. You go to your bathroom and take your clothes off, ready for a relaxing bath because, God, you need it already. When you turn your back, you remember about your mark.
You put your hair up and go to the large mirror close to you. The red lines in your spine, now, are black, just like a tattoo. The quote "Ad Lunae Lumina" is legible than ever. And you have no idea of how it happened.
With your thoughts a complete mess, you finish your bath, put on your clothes, and give the girl's breakfast. Then, Sebastian entered the house with a box. You gave him a smile.
"Morning, Bash."
"Morning, super Au pair." He gave you a weak smile, and you look at him. Something is wrong. "I need to talk with you. Can we go to the living room?"
"Sure."
You gave a smile to the girls and follow Sebastian to the living room. He put the box on the floor.
"Look, (Y/N)..." He says, letting out a long sigh "I know you did a new friend. Haytham, am I right? You said he's an old and lonely man, so you were doing some company on him."
"Yeah," You said, knowing there's something wrong "What's happened with him?"
"A woman found him dead this morning. Animal attack, you know. Or just a Derek Hale thing. Me and Sheriff Stilinski still don't know why he does all of this seems like an animal attack, but we're working on it."
Your heart failed a beat for one instant. Oh, god. That was how Peter escaped from your bullet: He killed Haytham to stole the bullets as a way to heal himself.
"But, look" He opened the box and, there, he takes an envelope "He left you this letter and some books. I'm sorry for your loss. Do you need time to absorb this?"
Still shocked, you shook your head.
"No, no, I'm fine. I'm just... in shock. I really don't saw this coming."
"Okay. Let me know if you need a break, okay?"
You nod positively for him.
"Thank you, Bash."
Sebastian walks to the kitchen to talk with Sarah and Nat, and you open the envelope Haytham let you:
"Dear (Y/N),
I know I haven't finished my job with you, but I'll let those books and the name of someone who can help you. You'll find him at the Animal Clinic of Beacon Hills. His name is Deaton, you can trust him.
Sincerely,
Haytham."
You let out a long sigh. God, you were so fucked up.
.
You had just put the kids to bed and, gosh, you were so tired! When you took your phone, you saw a message from Scott.
"Hi. Be careful. Derek's on Peter's side. I saw them together. Also, Derek just simply disappeared. Be careful if he appears to you, okay? Call me if you need any help."
You narrow your eyes. Is Derek on Peter's side? Damn. Seems like thing is getting worse and worse. Well, during the circumstances, you think you should sleep with your silver dagger under your pillow.
You take your clothes off and take the second bath of the day, this one because you really need to relax your body. You put on your pajamas, and when you leave your bathroom, you almost got a heart attack: Peter was in your bedroom, with crossed arms. He is clearly waiting for you.
"Oh, good night, (Y/N)." He looks at you, even with some lust in his eyes. "It's a really tiny pajama. Matches perfectly with your... perfect skin."
His comment gave shivers to you. The last thing you need now is a psycho werewolf hitting on you.
"Sorry, but you aren't my type."
"Unfortunately." Peter give some steps forward, getting close to you. "But I'm pretty sure Derek is your type, so... I'll ask politely: Where is him?"
Yeah, he definitely was your type, but this isn't on discussion right now. You arch your eyebrows, pretty confused about the question.
"Why do you think I know it?"
"Because I felt your scent the last time I saw him. So, answer me."
"Of course, you felt my scent on him. He was here last night. I took care of his injuries."
"And you don't know where he is?"
"No."
Peter put his claws out and slides them by your skin with his eyes red as blood. His actions were a warning.
"You spend the night together, and you really think I'll believe that shit? Answer me: Where is him?"
A shiver of fear runs through your body, and your heart was punching inside your chest. God.
"Say it," Peter says, with a low and threatening voice "Or believe me, I'll love to rip Bennie's pretty neck."
"Derek just said that he needed to hide, and then he leaves. I don't know where he is, I swear!"
Then, your mind had a click. Maybe you knew where he is.
"What?" Peter looks at you, knowing you thought about something.
"You'll think I'm crazy, but I don't care. I had a dream with Derek."
"Oh, God." Peter rolled his eyes, turning his back for you, and moving away from you "I don't have time for your sexual dreams."
"He was locked, with chains on his wrists, and I saw a blonde woman. I had the feeling that she was showing Derek to Allison."
When Peter heard you, he stops to walk and turns to glares at you.
"Go on."
"I had the impression that he was in a basement."
Peter approaches you again.
"And what your feelings say about the place? Do you think you can say a place he is right now?"
"I don't know."
"No, I'm serious. Try to concentrate on yourself."
You are feeling ridiculous talking about a dream with a man who is threatening you with death. However, you lock those feelings somewhere in your heart and just act instinctively: You close your eyes and takes a deep breath. Suddenly, you feel a cold breeze on your skin and whispers in your ears - those who you just simply can't understand so well, but you are pretty sure those whispers are carrying you somewhere. Then, you felt: It was him. Somehow, you are feeling Derek. You feel his warmth, his presence, his smells. It's just like he is close to you.
You also felt he had a familiarity with the place he is right now. And you open your eyes.
"So?" Peter was looking at you, full of expectations. Your heart was beating fast as hell. You haven't even known you could do that thing! Maybe all of that was possible because of the mark you have on your back...
"I think he's on his old house... The one who was on fire."
"Wow..." Peter was looking at you completely fascinated "I had never seen one of you before."
You cringe.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You have a mark on your back, Am I right? Just like a tattoo, who says..."
"Ad Lunae Lumina. Yeah, I know. But I don't know anything about it. I'm trying to find out."
"Let me see your arms."
You show him your arms, and Peter notices, on your forearm, a few red lines taking forms. It was another mark that was being created.
"Oh, it's pretty recent..."
You pull your arms back to you, staring at Peter with a serious face.
"Don't tell anybody."
"I won't, but... I'll need your help."
"I've already helped you."
"Not enough. Come on, put on your clothes. You'll go with me."

PARTY FAVOURS I CHAPTER 21
First time reader click here
Tumblr media
TWs/SUMMARY: Wanda fluff, Loki fluff, we're getting a whole ass friendship! Dad sucks. The outfits are neat tho! Check the end for a mood board 😍
a/n: dress inspo and aesthetic visuals can be found here, here and here. (Paolo Sebastian, Firefly Path gowns and Viona Ielegems photography).
Tumblr media
"Gi-i-irl..." Wanda drawled, seeing me arrive with Tony, both of us freshly showered and still hazy from the amazing orgasms. God only knew what she'd seen in both of our heads - if judging only by the vivid, crimson blush she spouted, it was definitely something very NSFW. Bruce already sat at the dinner table, quietly slurping his soup, his back and shoulders the most relaxed I'd ever seen. He gave me a knowing smile once he noticed my presence in my usual spot by his side.
The rest of the team appeared completely oblivious, preoccupied by their food.
"So, about the party. Got any costume ideas?" I cut straight to the chase, unwilling to wait for Wanda to start asking for details right in front of everyone.
Steve, Bucky, Pietro, Thor and Natasha all answered affirmative, the latter whacking Clint upside the head and firmly stating "no funny business". I couldn't help but wonder what kind of crazy shit the Bird had in mind and was kind of disappointed at Nat's intervention. A good chaotic moment was always worthwhile in my opinion!
The other bird, Sam, approached Bruce with caution as he wondered if the scientist was interested in doing a paired costume with him, only to be interrupted by Tony declaring, with childish glee, he had a "wicked project" that he and Bruce would be doing together. The scientist gave a resigned sigh and apologized.
Sam wasn't deterred by the slight setback; he approached Clint instead and after being given an okay from Natasha, the Birds decided to pair up. As they should, if you'd ask me.
"I have a costume but I need some accessories. Wanda, Lokes, join me on my lil' shopping trip?" I prompted, wanting everybody to be included. I was fully prepared for Loki to scoff and dismiss my invitation but the Asgardian nodded after a second of brief speechlessness. Didn't anyone invite him to birthday parties as a kid? Either way, Thor gave me a grateful smile, like a proper big brother. Both Asgardians had grown visibly closer during the past couple of months which made me hide a secretive smile behind a spoonful of soup.
It turned out, Loki hadn't exactly been introduced to the buzzing beehive that is NYC. He didn't get out much and when he needed to be somewhere, the man simply teleported to the desired destination. As convenient as it must've been, I still expressed my outrage at his lack of experience doing the usual "touristy" things that, in my opinion, every non-newyorker was obligated to do when visiting. Yes, even if said visitor had literally traveled across different galaxies.
Wanda wasn't much better in terms of city knowledge. According to her, she'd lived here for several years already but never bothered to go beyond the borders of the block surrounding the Avengers tower. The witch didn't have friends outside of her teammates (therapy. they all needed so much therapy. y'all...) so she simply saw no point in going anywhere beyond the local mall.
Which was trash. I mean, I loved Hot Topic and Forever 21 as much as any other young adult with depression and anxiety but it was literally impossible to wear clothes made out of cheap cotton and polyester all the time. I'm pretty sure I would have hives and ulcers if I attempted that.
"We're going on Sixth Avenue and that's final. No friend of mine will be wearing shit from Wal-Mart at a Stark party," I interrupted Wanda's defensive stuttering, using my other hand to summon an Uber.
"That is good advice," Loki, previously silent, added in a sweet tone. I counted on the fashionable Asgardian to be on my side and with his schmoozing skills, I didn't even have to drag Wanda inside the car by, like, her hair or whatever. The three of us barely fit into the small Toyota anyway.
A thought struck me when I had to consciously avoid stepping on Loki's leather shoes and keep away my elbow from Wanda's stomach. "Mister? I'll give you a hundred bucks cash if you turn around and drive to this address," I hurriedly rattled off my home address, delighting in the way the driver nearly did a U-turn at the mention of crispy dollar bills.
We arrived home quickly. Wanda gaped in mild disbelief at the size of my house while Loki looked about as interested as he'd ever be. His face was akin to an expression one made while smelling fresh manure. Opening the garage, I was greeted with an unpleasant surprise of my dad's outrageously painted Corvette standing neatly by my white Range Rover.
Loki looked and felt considerably less tense in the back of my car. The subtle signs of discomfort all but left his face replaced by slight wonder as I explained how to adjust the temperature and turn on the heated seats.
Dad met us at the gates. "You didn't come in to say hello," He pouted. His breath reeked like a five-day drinking binge hangover and he looked a dead man.
"We're in a hurry, dad. There's a lot to be done," I replied curtly, hoping to get rid of him fast. I hated being sober around my drunk father. My fingers twitched on the steering wheel.
"You're like your mother, always busy," Dad's laugh was coarse and bitter. "But at least you find time for Stark and his friends. That'll do your future real good," He clapped once on the hood of my car, heading back to the house with a wave of his hand, just in time to miss the disgusted shudder that ran through me.
I knew my dad well enough to understand the implications of what he meant by his words. In his world, fucking way up to the top was considered the norm. I'd rather cut off my own foot than use Tony that way.
"Sorry you had to see that. I thought he was still in Cali," I gritted my teeth, pulling out of the driveway.
"I'm sorry you had to experience that. I have no kind words regarding your father," Loki's look was sympathetic in the rearview mirror.
"Or your mother," Wanda added, messing with her seatbelt. Loki nodded tersely.
"Aight, aight," I sighed, set on improving the mood. "Let's not poop this party. We're getting some absolutely delicious beverages and wasting my money on outrageous pretty things. My treat."
Wanda's protests were drowned out by Motorhead and Loki's grumbling was overshadowed by Guns'n'Roses. Their resistance didn't stand a chance. Few blocks out, the witch was singing along to November Rain, heavily accented and terribly off-key, and the Asgardian watched New York city intently behind the protection of the tinted rear windows of my ride. He seemed mesmerized by the crowds and the variety of colorful shop fronts. This was the the one and only reason I eased off the gas pedal and drove the speed limit for once.
The atmosphere was, well, magical. Looking at my two companions, I discovered the familiar city anew with every question they asked, every remark they made. The desire to ask in turn about their homelands melted like the tension I was harbouring after the run-in with my father. Content and warm, I had my attention divided between Loki and Wanda juggling their wonder back-and-forth between themselves and the absolutely crazy NYC traffic.
So what if I parked in a no-parking zone just to get us the most delicious coffee in the city? Loki, the resident tea person, ordered himself something unpronounceable, something that made the barista twitch. Wanda got a sugary-sounding vanilla-white chocolate perversion. I just got a mocha, having had outgrown my adolescent desires to experiment with "how sweet can I make this coffee before I literally puke?" beverages.
With a laugh, I instructed them to pose in front of the nearest reflective surface to brag about our coffees on Instagram - this café deserved more recognition. My companions reluctantly obliged.
I wonder if the barista realized just who had bought the coffee - Loki was quite a media darling when it came to fangirls. Tony's PR team did a wonderful job on the Asgardian's redemption arc. The trickster only fueled the utter devotion his fangirls had for him by being extra nice and charming in every video I've seen. I guess you can't out-mindcontrol manners outta somebody, he was raised a prince after all.
It wasn't raining but the autumn chill seeped into the tiny spaces between my layers of clothing. I already managed to regret my fashionable dark academia inspired outfit at least twice, however the matching vibe all three of us had was positively dashing. Loki, wearing his usual onyx black and dark green. Wanda with a burgundy sweater dress and thigh high platformed boots - sweater dresses, out of all things, had no business looking this good on anybody. But she pulled it off.
"You said you've got a costume. Mind sharing what it is?" The witch said, curiously peeking into the windows of a nearby vintage boutique as we took our leisurely stroll with steaming paper cups keeping our fingers warm.
"A fairy dress. It was custom made for me last year and I actually didn't get to wear it. I need some jewelry to go with it," I explained, stopping to show a photo of the dress on my smartphone. "And some shoes, too. Let's hope the party will be held completely indoors, otherwise I'll freeze my ass off."
"Custom made?" Wanda squeaked, looking at the garment in wonder. Loki gave a vaguely approving nod.
"Yeah, there's a company that makes these fantasy dresses. You want one? What did you have in mind for your costume anyway?" I switched the topic quickly, seeing how Wanda withdrew into herself slightly. I heard from Peter she grew up poor, in the middle of a war and I didn't want to make her feel bad or anything. I wasn't good at these things...
"I thought maybe I could match with you," She replied, slowly taking a sip of her coffee.
"Sure. There are a couple of shops with really cute dresses that fit the aesthetic." Marchesa. We need a Marchesa store. And a Zuhair Murad - if there was one on this stretch of road. "What about you, Lokes? Anything in particular strike your fancy?" I asked our silent companion, frantically googling the information I needed.
"Black," He answered moodily.
"Boo, you whore," I rolled my eyes at his scoff. We had watched the Mean Girls recently and he got the reference, immediately raising a sarcastic eyebrow. "You know, you could do so much with this pale aristocratic look you've got going on. How about a medieval vampire?"
"Like Lestat? He's fucking hot," Wanda and I understood each other promptly. She jumped on the bandwagon immediately.
Combining my blunt honesty and her adorable fawning over a fictional bloodsucker, we managed to convince Loki into going on a hunt for brocaded, velvet suits and blouses with ruffles for his look. The trickster revolted at the mere suggestion of procuring some fake fangs, instead magically making them appear and showing them off in the middle of the crowded sidewalk, much to my and Wanda's delighted shrieking. He looked, I daresay, very attractive, like a porcelain figurine. Delicate but dangerous.
We arrived at the store that showcased beautiful, airy dresses of silk, chiffon and tulle. The lace was delicate and the seams invisible. I ushered Wanda into a dressing room with a shop attendant that was quietly but strictly instructed to not discuss the cost of the dresses and hide the price tags.
"I want it to be a gift. My friend here deserves no less than a magical experience," I explained quietly, winking at a bewildered Loki.
"Why did you do that?" He asked once Wanda was given a selection of several dresses in flattering colours and led into a separate dressing room.
"These dresses, they're special so they're a bit pricey. And knowing Wanda, she'll make a scene and refuse to let me buy them for her," I idly twirled my phone in my hands. "But every girl wants to be a princess and it's kinda sad she never got to be one. It's more than just a dress, it's more than feeling pretty, although it's a big part of it. She'll feel on top of the world."
Loki nodded. I'm certain he didn't understand it - being a man and all - and I wasn't sure I understood it completely, too. I never lacked pretty or expensive things, always got whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. But for a moment, I thought how it must've been for Wanda - seeing all these girls on TV, looking like pictures - and never having the chance to experience that. A concept that made me so sad, I was tempted to ask the customer service person for a glass of scotch. Being poor sounded depressing as hell.
Suddenly, Loki's cool, large hand landed on mine. "Thank you. I am certain Wanda will be the most beautiful lady at the ball."
I stared at him. Loki understood.
"Well, I... I don't know how finicky you are on gender labels for clothes, but there were a couple of blouses you might want to check out. They've got the neck ruffles and shit." My throat suddenly seized up and I had to clear it before speaking, steering away from the uncomfortably emotional moment. Thankfully, Loki wandered off without as much as a word.

Baby Love - Part 8
Tumblr media
A/N- Wow its been a minute since i’ve updated this one! 💕
"Are you okay?" I heard Chris ask as i sat in the car staring at the new scan printout we were given.
"Im great" i smiled brushing my finger over the image "its just.... you can actually see that its a baby now! Before it didn't really look like anything"
"Starting to feel more real now huh?"
"Definitely! You wanna FaceTime your mom? You know shes dying to find out if shes getting a new granddaughter or grandson"
"You don't mind? We can wait if you want, just keep it between us....."
"I don't mind" i shrugged "you choose babe, its your family"
"I love you" he smiled leaning over to kiss me "ok, lets do this".
Chris pulled his phone from his pocket and dialled his mom, it only rang twice before Lisa appeared on the screen.
"Hey you two" she said happily "so?? come on...tell me"
"Wow straight to the point huh?" Chris laughed "okay, okay. Its a....."
"WAIT!!! DONT YOU DARE SAY A WORD UNTIL IM THERE!!!" We suddenly heard Scott yell in the background making us all burst out laughing, we saw him run in through the door behind Lisa and then he was squeezing in next to his mom to see us on the screen.
"Okay go, I'm here!"
"Hey Scott" i smiled giving him a wave.
"Hey mama, your looking good!"
"Thank you"
"Okay come on! I cant wait any longer!" Lisa interrupted practically bouncing up and down in her seat.
"Its a girl!" Chris announced loudly and proudly.
"Oh sweetheart thats amazing! And everything looks okay?...."
"Yep everything is good, doc said everything is as it should be"
"Thats great, i know its a scary time going through your first pregnancy,  if you ever need to talk to anyone im here for you"
"Thank you Lisa that means alot"
"Im here for you too! I dont know anything about pregnancy but anything else im your guy!" Scott added making us all chuckle.
"I'll keep that in mind Scotty"
"Okay guys well I'm going to get these two home, we just wanted to tell you the news"
"Okay sweetheart, you both take care i love you".
The call ended after the 'I love yous' we're exchanged and Chris drove us home, 10 minutes after getting home i was fast asleep on the sofa cuddled up to Chris. I guess it was too much excitement for one day!
Tumblr media
It was the day before the Premiere and i still didn't have anything to wear. So here i was trying on dresses with the help from none other than Scott Evans!
He had been on the phone with Chris last night when he heard i still hadn't got a dress and insisted he take me out to find something.
"I can't believe you've left it this late Y/N!" He was moaning from outside the changing room.
"I know im sorry! But what was the point of getting it weeks before hand when i know im probably not going to fit in the thing when it comes to actually wearing it"
"Okay fair point" he chuckled as i turned around getting a good look in the mirror before i showed him.
"Okay, i think this one is good, its comfortable and it kinda hides the bump with the ruffles..."
"Okay well show me!"
I opened the curtain and he looked wide eyed at me "wow"
"Is that a good wow or...."
"Definitely good, only it doesn't hide the bump as much as you think" 
"In a way i cant wait for it be public knowledge, i don't want to have to worry about what I'm wearing when i leave the house you know?" I shrugged turning back to face the mirror and running my hand over my growing baby bump "I'm not trying to hide the fact I'm pregnant its just the hate i know I'm gonna get. But then i guess if I'm with your brother i should just learn to deal with it. Its never gonna go away is it? There's always going to be someone putting me down about something"
"There will be, but lets face it their just jealous. And you wont ever need to meet these people.... don't even read what they say sweetheart. You are an amazing woman and you make my brother so happy its actually quite sickening"
"Thanks Scotty" i laughed shaking my head at him "so this dress?"
"That dress!".
Tumblr media
All of Chris's family met round at our place before the premiere where family photo's were being taken. It was nice to have photo's that were just ours and not splashed online for everyone to see. After Lisa said she had enough we all headed out to the cars, I was a nervous wreck from the second the car started moving. My stomach was in knots and i felt like i was going to be sick any second, without knowing i moved my hand and placed it protectively over my growing bump. Suddenly Chris's hand took hold of my free hand that was gripping the leather seat.
"You okay sweetheart?"
"Im just freaking out" i replied shaking my head with a tight smile.
"You'll be fine, i'll be with you every step of the way.... well i'll probably have to step away to give some interviews but Scott will stick by you, you'll never be on your own"
"I'll be okay once I'm there its just the thought of it.... everyones gonna know about the baby"
"And i cant wait for the world to know how lucky i am" Chris beamed leaning forward and carefully kissing me so he didn't mess up my lipstick.
The car finally rolled to a stop and already the crowd outside was going wild.
"You ready?" Chris asked turning to me smiling.
"Are you?"
"Not gonna lie my anxiety is through the fucking roof right now... but yeah. Lets do this" he took a deep breath and threw open the car door getting out quick before he could change his mind. I watched him turn and give a quick wave at the waiting crowd before holding his hand out to me. I took his hand and held on tight as i got out the car, the camera flashes already going crazy all around us. Chris wrapped his arm around my waist and lead me down the purple carpet keeping me close to his side, Scott followed close behind with his family keeping a close eye on us.
Once inside i felt myself start to relax a little knowing this part was just the cast interviews, i stepped off to the side with Scott to let Chris do his thing.
"You want some water?" Scott asked holding out a bottle of water "you need to stay hydrated"
"Thanks Scotty" i smiled accepting the water "i really wish this was alcohol right now" i said quietly to him making him laugh, i saw Chris looking over at me smiling.
"Pay attention!" I mouthed to him and pointed to the guy who was trying to talk to him and RDJ.
As soon as he had finished with that interview he made a be-line for me. His hands went straight for my hips pulling me closer to him.
"We're heading in now to watch the movie" he said pressing a quick kiss to my temple and taking my hand.
"So how many people have asked about us?"
"All of them, but funnily enough none have mentioned the baby"
"Huh, i thought they'd be all over that"
"Im sure someone will have said something by the end of the night".
The movie was amazing like always! I laughed and cried.... cried alot!! Damn hormones! Chris had kept everything to himself so i was still in shock after watching the movie. After the movie we all headed off for the after party, this is when i finally felt myself relax properly.
I was currently sat at a table with Scott while Chris did the rounds, i was starting to feel tired now, i wanted nothing more than to go home and curl up in bed with Chris and Dodger.
"Hey sweetheart, you remember Sebastian right?" Chris smiled down at me with Sebastian Stan! Standing beside him. I felt my cheeks flush suddenly, Sebastian had been my celebrity crush for years!!
"Hey! How are you?" Sebastian smiled before leaning down to kiss my cheek.
"Hi, I'm good thank you. How are you?"
"Im great. Its nice to see everyone again"
"I can imagine"
"Can i get you something to drink?" Sebastian offered.
"No thank you, I'm not drinking tonight I'm good with water" i smiled .
"Wait.... are you....?" Sebastian looked down at my stomach then over at Chris with wide eyes, Chris smiled and nodded proudly.
"What?!! man thats great news! Congratulations you guys" Sebastian grabbed Chris patting him on the back.
"Im so happy for you guys!"
"Thank you Sebastian thats means a lot" i smiled "lets hope everyone else is as happy for us"
"Babe its gonna be fine"
"I hope your right about that Evans".

Tumblr media
Blaine sighs inwardly. Now that he's had a good year to lick his wounds and put himself back together, following his divorce from Kurt becoming final, he's been doing some deep thinking.
Specifically, he's been doing some soul-searching, and reflecting on what might have been...and lately his thoughts increasingly seem to be filled with that damn face! The face of the beautiful man he's never been able to fully shake, truth be told.
The impossibly handsome, and yeah - very sexy, man he was once really good friends with. But..were they in fact more than that? Maybe. If Blaine's honest with himself, he knows it was more than just friendship. He always felt so wrong-footed in the best possible way, around him, after all.
Having recently discovered (by way of some sneaky conversations with Jeff and Nick), that Sebastian is definitely single, Blaine wonders - not for the first time, if it might at last be time to properly explore the attraction, insane chemistry and connection, that have always burned so brightly between them. "Carpe Diem, and all that," he mutters to himself.
Is he brave enough though, to venture into the unknown, and perhaps put his heart on the line - again! Only for it to be stomped all over - again, after all these years? But..then again, if he doesn't at least try, he knows he's always going to be wondering, "What if?"
Shivering slightly, and shaking his head to clear it of his own internal warring dialogue, Blaine finally makes a decision - mentally flipping the bird, to all those who've ever called him wishy-washy, and weak-minded.
Reaching for his phone, he taps in the never-forgotten digits. He knows Bas' number hasn't changed. He checked with Nick just yesterday, brushing off his friend's curious questions, by very unsubtly changing the subject. Wincing, Blaine realises he'll probably end up paying for that avoidance, when the truth comes out. "Oh well," he sighs. "I'll just have to cross that bridge when I come to it.!" Right now, he knows he needs to focus.
Blaine holds his breath, waiting for the call to connect. Butterflies flutter around his tummy, as he almost absentmindedly gnaws furiously on his bottom lip - smiling to himself, as he remembers how Sebastian used to relentlessly tease him about the habit, calling it "adorable."
His emerald eyes would sparkle and dance with mischief, and a low chuckle would rumble out of him, as yet another blush crept up to suffuse Blaine's cheeks. Sebastian had always managed to leave Blaine a flustered, stuttering mess..
But in-between the flirtation, non-stop innuendoes, and comments about his ass (that let's face it, were all great for his ego!) Blaine had got to know the real Sebastian very well indeed, and they had become really close. A fact Kurt definitely never quite got over.
Blaine knew very well that behind the trademark smirk, and sarcastically-arched eyebrows, there was so much more to Sebastian. So much more than the lewd, cocky and overconfident boy, that he presented to most of the world..
Blaine knew too, that Sebastian was incredibly quick-witted, kind - in fact he honestly had a heart the size of a small country (although he'd once scowled when Blaine commented on his kindness and generosity, muttering something under his breath, like, "You'll ruin my reputation if anyone hears you say that, Anderson!")
Blaine had just rolled his eyes, and smiled knowingly. Filing the information away in his mind - just in case he ever needed to hold it over Sebastian, for any reason.
Except..when that time did come, Blaine didn't do anything of the kind. He did.. Nothing.. and then.. Well, everything pretty much went to hell in a handbasket!
Yeah, it's definitely not the time to dwell on, or go over those old wounds, he thinks ruefully. Blaine forgave Sebastian for Slushie-Gate years ago, in any case. They were just kids... Back then they all did things that they're less than proud of..
Wanting to put the murky past firmly to the back of his mind, Blaine fondly lets other great memories of his all-too-brief friendship with Sebastian, resurface. For example, the fact that he is a great listener, and can be surprisingly empathetic, despite his often arrogant demeanour.
He also, mind you, has an unerring ability to accurately read people - a trait Blaine came to loathe, and ultimately cursed Sebastian to damnation, for, in due course.. He could read Blaine like a bloody book!
Upon reflection, there were honestly so many things he admired about Sebastian. Blaine really should have held on to that...
Pulling himself somewhat reluctantly back to the present, he's about to hang up - wondering if the interminable delay in Sebastian answering, is The Fates warning him this is a bad idea, when he hears, "Hey, Killer! Long time no speak..."
The warmth of the smooth, familiar, slightly hesitant, voice, instantly soothes Blaine's nerves, making his toes curl pleasurably, as he exhales with relief. Then, a wave of happiness washes over him, and suddenly he knows; it will all be okay. This was a good idea.
Beaming broadly, and seizing his courage in both hands ("Carpe Diem," and all that!) Blaine finally finds his voice; "Yeah.. Way too long, Bas - it's so good to hear your voice!"

Blood Donation [Allen]
Tumblr media
"Miss, are you searching for something? I'll be glad to help if so."
"Any friend of Count is my friend as well. Let's have some tea and chat, shall we?"
So yeet, finally I remembered to post my beloved ikemen Blood Donation. More information about them down below!! [Tagging @lovingsiriusoswald because she seems to like her djksnskdn]
Name: Allen
Nicknames: Ellen, Al Al (Arthur)
Birthday: August 15
Height: 167 cm
Blood Type: A
Physical
Eyes: Turquoise
Hair: Short hair that curves in and bangs that part in the middle
Accessories: Glasses that she wears when it's hard to see, usually wears contacts though
Features: Moles on both her upper arms
Illnesses: None
Social
Species: Pure blood vampire
Occupation: Writer and traveller
Relationships:
● The Count of Saint Germaine: Best friends. They stumbled across each other in a different century but have remained friends ever since. She often visits him while he always welcomes her into his mansion with open arms. Knows all of the mansion vampires to a certain extent because of him. They know each other's troubles and can read each other like a book.
● Leonardo Da Vinci: Annoying but good friends. Always has the urge to tidy up his things after he makes a mess even though she's kind of a slob herself. They have a running joke saying that the other is dating Count and bring it up whenever necessary around Count himself. They are interested in each other's works and loves to get nosy in them.
● Theodorus Van Gogh: Buddies. Finds him rather rude with all his nicknames but eventually found a way to brush it off by telling him she'll tell Vincent; problem solved instantly. Doesn't see him all that often due to the nature of his work but when they do, they go to the bar with Arthur.
● Arthur Conan Doyle: Buddies. Knew him purely through Theo because the other always dragged him around to bars and they just so happened to meet. She finds his works really interesting and asks tip from him all the time when they meet up while Arthur usually answers her questions and flirts. Often goes to the bar together.
● Jeanne D'Arc: Neutral. Has seen him fought before back when he was still alive but also thought he was a woman until she met him face to face. Finds him intimidating and beautiful.
● Napoleon Bonaparte: Friends. Sees him playing with the children on a regular basis in town and always joins them. He treats her like a child even though she is very much older than him which earns a flick on the forehead from him every time.
● Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Acquaintances. Enjoys his music very much and always stops to listen to it when he's playing his piano in his room. Would love to ask him tips on how to play the piano better but is way too intimidated by him. Also rather cross that he's so rude.
● Dazai Osamu: Teasing friends. Always plays with him in the game room and both have a fun time trying to figure each other out. Most of their interactions is trying to call each other's bluff out, thus having a much more teasing and fun relationship than with other mansion residents. (Besides Arthur but god knows how many people he has that kind of relationship with)
● Sebastian: Information sharing buddy. Finds his stoic face rather funny since he's always talking about historical stuff when she's around. She provides him with a bunch of facts from historical people she's met before and he provides her with a bunch of modern day info that he has (although she knows some of it from her trips to the 21st century). Never lets him know that she's actually terrible at history.
● William Shakespeare: Stays far far away from. Absolutely knows what he's up to but tries to stay away from him. Extremely wary about him but can have a decent conversation around him if she's with someone she knows well like Count or Leo.
● Vincent Van Gogh: Close friends. She admires him and loves his art works while he quite enjoys her presence around. The two often help each other with different things like critiquing each other's works and tasks and have gotten rather close over time. Unsure if she has a crush on him or not.
● Isaac Newton: Likes him. Always teases him with Arthur and Dazai. Loves to see him hear him rant about all the experiments and things he's been doing and finds him kinda cute. Is unwilling to go confess first since she's unsure if he feels the same nor has she sorted out her feelings for Vincent yet.
Personality: Open minded and seems very open about herself yet there's a feeling saying that she's not as open as she seems to be. Is always either spending all day in the mansion or spending it outside for a long time and coming back late, 8 am was her last record. Can hold very long conversations with all the different kinds of experiences she has over the centuries, making her quite a chatterbox; there are times when she's silent and would rather not talk but she's always open to listening. Always asks people if they are up for a drink whether that be Rouge or just alcohol in the bar. Doesn't fancy drinking from a human directly but can do it if she wants to.
Likes: Useless facts, conversations, cute and fluffy things, the modern world, music, tea (the real tea or rumours), stories, alcohol
Dislikes: Writer's block, time, her hair, not knowing anything, frustration, extremely sarcastic people
Skills:
> Sleeping in
> Origami
> Knows several languages but isn't fluent in all of them, fluent in only chinese and english
> Plays the piano (not very good at it)
> Convincing people
> Keeping a straight face (to the point it's scary)
Paired with: Isaac Newton(???)
Life in the mansion: Has to get woken up by Sebastian every day, has only woken up by herself a grand total of 5 times. In the mansion, she's most commonly seen in the gardens writing while  enjoying herself or in the game room playing games with the others. She also frequents visit other people's rooms to talk and share a conversation with if she's bored. When she's outside, she often wanders off on her own and explores so she knows every square inch in the city.
Extra info:
> Getting her gender mixed up is rather amusing for her so she plays along with it and keeps her appearance the same to trick many more into thinking so
> Sleeps like a log, could sleep for days if no one wakes her up.
> Sleepy her is an airhead, almost like a small animal
> Rational and quick thinking is one of her skills but she's nowhere as good as Arthur so she often pretends she's not good at it.
> Has a habit of scratching her neck when she isn't feeling too comfortable, doesn't like the feeling of hands around her neck though
> Isn't very serious most of the time but when she is serious, she's deadly serious and scary (though she usually regrets it after her head clears)
> Loves fluffy things just as much as she likes smut, ironically cannot write smut even though she can get horny easily
> Headpats make her melt instantly
> Cannot handle being yelled at, it makes her very emotionally stable and would break down on the spot or later on
Bonus:
"... Did you enjoy the show, darling? Come out and show yourself, there's no where else to hide."
"Ah you're... that beautiful Miss from the library... Hm now that you've seen me, can't really let you escape. Feed me your blood please."
