MEET CHAOTIC PROMPTS
Alright, kids, listen up.
We’re all suckers for a good meet-cute. Don’t even try to lie to me. Like, yeah, they’re cliché, but, if done well, it can be really cute, hence the name.
Meet-uglies on the other hand can be super funny, and they almost always lead to enemies-to-lovers or rivals-to-lovers, even if just for a hot second. They’re great, too.
But here’s the thing:
I want more meet-chaotics. Not meet-cutes, not meet-uglies, meet-chaotics.
What do I mean by this?
Well, you know how crazy life can be sometimes? How wack shit happens, it makes a good story to tell your friends, and it makes you low-key question reality for a second? Yeah. Meet-chaotics are like that. How you met is just so weird and chaotic that it was a bonding experience.
Here are some prompts/concepts so you understand what I’m getting at:
“Normal”/Humor:
 “I’m an uber driver dropping off my last customer, and you and your friends(?) just jumped into my backseat right as they got out and yelled a variety of ‘DRIVE! FUCKING DRIVE!’ and ‘FLOOR IT!’ There are flashing lights behind me, but I panicked and stepped on the gas, and now you’re trying to assure me that it’s not what it looks like, but I’m too busy worrying that I’m a wanted criminal now.” 
Bonus points for found family and/or polyamory!
“I’ve had a really bad day, and it started to rain, so, because I’m dramatic, I blasted my ‘*insert playlist name here*’ and lied down on my sidewalk/lawn/driveway facing the sky, and you just drove by, backed up, and ran out to join me as ‘Chasing Cars’ by Snow Patrol was playing. I have never met you before, but I’m pretty sure we’ve bonded and might be soulmates.” (Yes, I got this idea from a TikTok. What of it?).
“I was walking my dog at the park when he got off his leash, and now I’m running after him through the park calling his name and yelling to ‘GET THAT DOG!’ You’re having a barbecue/family reunion/birthday party, and my dog sprints towards you, knocks someone over, and begins eating your food. You see me sprinting towards you and trying to catch my dog, but he’s faster, so now we’re both chasing my dog, and I may or may not be swearing words that’d make a sailor blush. Eventually, one of us or a random stranger catches him, and we finally stop, and, hey, sorry about that, but, wazow! You’re pretty cute.” 
Bonus points for anyone vaulting over a table or something.
“We’re on our way to class, and I just witnessed you run past me down the stairs holding a bunch of books, trip, roll down two flights, and roll to your feet and keep running like nothing happened. And, like, we didn’t talk, and I don’t think you noticed me, but now I can’t help thinking of you. Like, that was impressive, but are you okay?”
“We’re at a house party, and it’s gotten pretty wild. Music is blasting from the speakers, people are dancing on tables, stuff is breaking, etc. Suddenly, the music shuts off, and someone yells, “POLICE!” and everyone s c a t t e r s. It’s pure chaos. I trip while running outside and curl up in a ball to not get trampled, but then a hand reaches down and pulls me up, it’s you, and we run off together still holding hands. Who are you, again?”
Bonus points if this goes back to the uber driver prompt. 
Bonus bonus points if this couple is coming from the same place as the folks from the first prompt, so it’s same universe, but they’re completely different people having their own meet-chaotics running from the police ‘cause they were at the same party.
Could be any illegal/big crowd scenario. A concert, a protest, etc. 
Sci-Fi:
“We live in a world where superheroes exist. One day, I’m minding my own business in my own apartment when you, *insert superhero name here,* crash through my wall while I’m just lounging on the couch, mug of coffee/preferred drink to my lips, feet up on my coffee table, and laptop open on my lap. We stare at each other. You get up, apologize, and fly off through the hole in the wall. Little do I know, you feel bad about the whole thing and decide to try making it up to me, except every thing you try just descends us more and more into chaos.”
Bonus points if this ends up being enemies to lovers, seeing as the protagonist, Character A, would probably be hella bitter about not having the specific superhero insurance needed to fix their wall. 
Bonus bonus points if Superhero has to save A from x during one of their attempts to fix the situation. 
“It’s the zombie apocalypse. I’ve set up camp in a (mostly) abandoned town, scavenging to survive. One day, there’s an unusual amount of zombies in the road. Panicked, I start to climb something. When I’m about halfway up, I hear a weird noise, and look down just in time to see you and your friend whizzing by on a shopping cart down the incline- you in the basket and your friend riding on the back. You’re screaming/yelling and swinging a bat around. The zombies are too slow and uncoordinated to catch up with you. At the last second, you look up at me and we make eye-contact mid-me making at wtf face. It’s such a stupid strategy that I’m low key in love.”
“It’s an alien invasion. We’re all running and screaming for our lives. Suddenly, there’s a spot light, and you start being pulled up into a ship. You panic and grab something. For some unknown, ungodly reason, I try to help you. It goes as well as it sounds. Cue us both getting beamed up while holding on to each other for dear life.”
“We’re on a spaceship. There are so many people on board that it’s impossible to truly know or recognize anyone. I’m working or reading or what have you, when I so happened to glance up at my porthole/window, just in time to see you, who’d been fixing something on the outside of the ship, floating away and doing some space gymnastics with your lead and etc., and swimming, to get back to the ship. I do what anyone responsible would do and sprint off to the docks to get you back safe inside.”
Bonus if Floating Person is just doing the absolute most ridiculous things to make it back.
I have more, but I feel like this post is long enough. But yeah. Something something meeting someone in the most chaotic, stupid, and unhinged way gets to me. Like, we’ve all have shared moments with a stranger because we both witnessed something or been involved in something dumb or crazy. And usually it’s like, eye-contact or brief, awkward commentary, then at the end of the day you go home and it’s just a funny story that only you guys experienced. Something about it just speaks to me.

Words bubble up like soda pop
Tumblr media
Summary: Y/n gets fed up by the arguments her and Trent keeps having
Angst & Fluff
Another argument had ruined your day, small conflicts bubble up to a big argument. You can’t believe the arguments kept sneaking up behind your back every day, you’re sick of it. But neither of you cares about it, that’s the problem you can’t seem to take the matter into your own hands. It’s like an never ending loop, conflict-argument-he says he’s sorry and tells you he loves you- cuddles then it goes on.
-
“I said I’m not feeling well, why can’t you accept it?” You said, it felt like the hundredth time you’ve said it. Tonight Trent’s friend is hosting a party that he wants to go to but you have no interest of going, you just couldn’t stand him at the moment after all the words he had said to you last night plus all the nights before that. “You only care about yourself Y/n” Same sentence he brings up every fight. Not just that, your mental health has been shit as well and it blends into the state you’re at in your relationship with Trent. He knows that you’ve been fighting with your mental health before, but now when the season isn’t going well for him he has started to blame himself for a lot of things that’s happening with the team. He uses you as a wall to throw all his emotions on you- which you didn’t mind at the beginning, you wanted to be there for him but now it has become too much.
“Come on don’t be dull, it will cheer you up” Trent pleaded.
You thought about it for a minute. Maybe this was the point where you couldn’t care less, you felt like everything in your life was out of place, why not have a little fun in all this mess?
”Fine, I’ll go” You stated.
You spent the rest of your afternoon getting ready for the party, you took a shower, picked an outfit, did you makeup. You decided to go for a navy blue dress and loose curls in your hair. This was the first time in a long time you felt beautiful, you smiled in the mirror and then went down the stairs, Trent was waiting on the couch looking at his phone until he saw you.
He walked over to you and spoke “Wow baby, you look..”
“Amazing? Yea I know”
“Wish I could say the same” You teased.
“Hey!” Trent gushed as he grabbed you round your waist and kissed your neck.
You felt his warmth around you, his perfume that comforted you, you felt safe in his arms. But suddenly you remembered how he had treated you lately and decided to take a step back.
“Trent, we should go” You spoke up after a moment in his embrace.
“You’re right” He said and let go of you as the two of you walked to the hallway and got ready to leave.
In the car on your way to the party you two listened to your shared playlist and vibed along with the songs - acting like everything was okay between you two, you got flashbacks from the beginning of your relationship when you were two dumb teenagers madly in love. You think back and wondered where did it go wrong?
When you arrive at Trent’s friend house you see many cars parked outside the house and you already know is gonna be a tough night.
You entered the house and loud music is playing, people dancing and you see Trent’s friend approach you two.
“Trent, nice to see you! And this is?”
“My girl, Y/n” Trent said as he looked at you and you smiled at his friend.
You leave Trent to speak with his mates and you sit down at the bar ordering one shot for yourself. You felt the liquor burn down your throat, as Trent sat down next to you.
“Take it easy Y/n don’t lose it again” Trent mumbled.
“Excuse me?” You snapped.
“Don’t want you all wasted, just saying” He shrugged as you felt the anger rising inside of you, he could piss you off so easily and you hated it.
“Don’t tell me what to do, I can handle myself”
“Clearly not” He accused.
“Piss off Trent” You cursed back at him and walked away to get away from him. As you were on your way to the restroom you could notice someone following you, Trent. He grabbed your wrist and spoke“Where are you going?”
You didn’t answer him and kept moving forward and locked the door. You had reached your breaking point, it all crashed down on you. You were sobbing loudly but at this point you didn’t care, you were also pretty sure that the music was too loud for anyone to hear you until your phone buzzed.
Trent: I can hear you Y/n, let me in please
You slowly got up from the floor and unlocked the door, he looked shocked like he had never seen you this broken before.
“Y/n, What’s wrong? Wh-“
“What’s wrong? What is wrong Trent? I’m tired of this.” You cried into his chest as he wrapped his arms around you.
“Tired of what my love?” He uttered.
“Can’t you see? We keep having these fights every single day, it’s destroying us. Aren’t you tired too?”
“Yeah trust me I am” He chuckled as you sniffed.
“Then why aren’t we doing anything about it?” You sighed.
“Three years ago I would never have thought I'd be in a restroom with you crying over our relationship” He scoffed.
“Trent answer me”
“I don’t know Y/n, but I’m sorry it has to be this way. I really am” Trent said as you noticed his eyes began to tear up.
Great. Now you’re both crying together, what have you two done do yourselves? You knew you two couldn’t escape that you loved each other too much to break up, so that felt safe in your head. He couldn’t live without you, you couldn’t live without him, who would take care of you when you’re wasted like this? Trent would, who would take of him after he lost a game? You would.
“I love you Trent” You said.
“We’re gonna fix this Y/n, okay?” He assured.
“Okay” You said as you took a deep breath to calm down.
Trent hold you in his arms for a while, just the two of you in a restroom on a Saturday night.
“Let’s go home and watch a movie together” Trent suggested.
“Only if you let me choose”
“Of course my girl” He said and kissed you.

First Night Out
Tumblr media
Pairing: Danny Wagner x reader
Word count: 4k
Warnings: alcohol, cussing, unprotected sex (WRAP IT), fingering, hair pulling, anything else i forgot just let me know. MINORS STAY AWAY
Summary: You’re a single mom, who works constantly. You finally have a night out with some friends and you meet this tall, dark haired stranger. After spending a night with him, you realize that he might be the sweetest soul you’d ever encountered.
Just wanted to inform you all that, this is my first fic. I want to make this into a series, but i want to know if it is good enough that you guys would want more. If you have any advice for me, i will greatly appreciate it. Enjoy, my dearest followers.
~~*~~
You had gotten off of work, picked up Emmy (your daughter) and was taking her to her to your mothers to spin the night. Getting a kid free night was nearly impossible considering you were a single mom. You had plans with your best friend AC and twin brother Kyle.
You had just pulled into your mothers drive way. Emmy screamed “Mimi Mimi”, putting your SUV in park and walking around to the side of the car to take Emmy out of her car seat. You had picked her up a happy meal before dropping her off to make sure she would have dinner for the night. You walked into the house, dropping the overnight bag you had packed for Emmy on the table. You walk over to the living room where your mom and step dad were, you thanked her for watching Emmy while taking a much needed night out. You bend down to Emmy and brush her blonde hair away from her big blue eyes, “Mommy will be back in the morning, you have fun with Mimi and don’t party too hard. Okay?” Emmy shakes her head “Otay” and puckers for a kiss. You turn to the door and wave bye to Emmy for one last time before heading out.
~~*~~
“WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?!?” you yell from your closet to AC as she’s hogging the mirror in your bathroom.
“SOMETHING THAT SAYS IMA SLUT ORRR IM LOOKING TO GET LAID.” AC shouted back while putting on the finishing touches for her outfit.
“What about this?” You stand in the doorway in a black body suit that was cut low to show off your boobs and some ripped jeans to show the leg tattoos you had gotten at 19.
“Ouuuu, yes easy access for some nipple play.” She says while staring down at your chest.
“Shut up, we’re probably going to see the same people as always. No one interesting.” You say rolling your eyes. You hear a knock at the door, making your way to the door you can hear music blaring outside. Pulling the door open, you see your brother dancing heading back to the car to get into the drivers side of the car.
“AC, Kyle is here!! Get your ass to the car.” You say while hearing her scurry to grab her things and run out the door.
~~*~~
You are standing at the bar to grab your third drink. You had been dancing with AC and Kyle on the dance floor. You were kind of sweaty, from how hot it had gotten from how packed that tiny local bar was. You scope out the area and notice a tall, curly haired man staring at you near the pool table. He was wear a tight black shirt, not too baggy khaki pants paired with a black and gold belt, he had a chain that laid perfectly over the shirt. He caught you looking at him and raised his glass from across the bar along with a sexy smirk. You smiled back and looked down as if you were embarrassed that he caught you. You tell the bartender that you wanted a vodka cranberry, while looking for your credit card you hear a voice from behind you say…”I’ve got it honey, don’t worry about it.” He was telling the bartender to put your drink on his tab.
You turn around to see this beautiful, dark curly headed man, standing directly behind you. You look up to him admiring every beautiful detail and say “Thank you for that, but you really didn’t have too.”
“I didn’t, but i wanted to darling.” as he says, brushing the strand of hair away from your eyes and behind your ear. You shoot him with a drunken but grateful smile. You turn to grab your drink from the bar and take a swig.
“What is a beautiful man like you doing out here alone?” You say peering up to meet his deep brown eyes.
“Thought i would get out and see what going on in the town. Just to have some alone time, hoping to meet a beautiful woman like yourself.” he replies. He brushes his knuckles against your fingers, slowly grasping your hand to guide you back to the corner of the bar where he was playing pool.
AC and Kyle noticed this strange man making his moves. You glance over your shoulder, giving them a look to let them know you’re okay and have everything handled.
“So handsome, what is your name?” You say leaning against the wall while he puts his pool stick away.
“Daniel, Danny, or Daddy, which ever you would like to refer to me as.” he giggles and plasters that sexy smirk that you caught when watching him from across the bar.
“Danny, what a sexy name for a sexy man.” you response as walking to the other side of him to grab a seat.
“What is your name?” He says leaning across the table as close as possible to you so he could hear you over the music for your response.
“Y/N, or Mami, which ever you prefer to call me.” you replied stirring your drink with the tiny black straw that was placed in your cup. He smiled and catches your gaze. He stands up, walking around the table to stand in front of you right in front of your knees that are perched on the bar stool that you are sitting on.
He leans in to your ear and asks, “So Mami, what are you exactly looking for tonight?” His voice is raspy and deep. You turn your head where your lips are directly to his ear and say “Maybe i’m just looking for someone to take home tonight, what do you think about that idea?” You whisper as if everyone in the bar could hear your response to the beautiful man standing in front of you.
He stands up quickly, giving you that i want to rip your clothes off look. You smile innocently like you didn’t just say the dirtiest thing you have said since being with your baby daddy two years ago. He takes a drink from his beer and leans in.
“Don’t you think you have to let your friends know that we’re about to leave for the night?” He says as he placed his calloused fingers under the rips of your jeans, slowly drawing circles across the Hogwarts tattoo that is located on your lower thigh. His words make you warm, mushy and extremely soaked within your center.
Shaking your head, you say “I’ll be right back.” Placing a gentle kiss upon his cheek, you jump down from the barstool. Rushing to AC and Kyle, you pull both of them to the other side of the bar and let them know you’re leaving with the mysteriously beautiful man.
“Fuck yeah, he’s so hot.” Coming from ACs mouth, slurring her words from being completely plastered. “Wrap that shit, we don’t need anymore surprise babies.” Kyle says looking at you then at AC. He puts his arm around her, holding her as she’s stumbling to keep her balanced.
“I’m on birth control, no babies will be happening Kyle. Can she stay with you tonight or at least makes it home safely?” You say worried about how drunk your best friend is. Kyle shakes his head and replies “Go get laid.” rolling his eyes as taking AC by the hand leading her towards the back door to the patio. You turn to rush back to Danny, you notice that he’s not where you left him earlier. You walk towards the front door, looking out the window you see him taking a drag of a cigarette while he’s waiting on you to leave with him. You walk out of the bar, straight to Danny. You brush your hand across his back and turn to the front of him.
“I’m ready whenever you are.” You say smiling up at this 6’1 man. He takes his last drag from his cigarette and throws it in the parking lot. He blows the smoke from his mouth, grabbing your hand and leading you towards his Jeep. He walks around to the passage side door and opens it, motioning you to step in. He closes the door and walks around to the drivers side door and climbs in.
He hands you his phone. “Put your address into the gps and i’ll take you home.” He says while starting up the car. You hand it back to him so he can link it to the car.
The entire car ride back to your house, you both are listening to music, singing along like you guys have been best friends forever. When you finally arrive to your house, Danny turns the car off.
“Do you live alone?” He says while unbuckling his seatbelt. “It’s just my daughter and i.” you reply opening your door and jumping out of the car.
“Daughter? You’re a mom?” he replies sounding kind of shocked by your response.
“Yeah, is that a problem?” you say crossing your arms over your chest as you stand in front of his car in the headlight. He walks to face you.
“God, no i didn’t mean it like that. It’s actually kind of hot that you’re a milf.” He rubs both of your arms feeling how cold your skin is. “Let’s get you inside, you feel like you’re freezing.” He says taking your hand into his, leading you to the front door. As you both were walking to the porch, you have this obnoxiously huge smile on your face from his response.
“This is my place, excuse the mess.” You say as you’re unlocking the front door and entering your house. You toss your keys on the kitchen counter, set your purse on the kitchen table. Danny is walking through the house, scoping out the lay out.
“Do you want a drink?” you stand in the kitchen, looking at the top cabinet trying to reach the bottle of vodka.
Danny reaches up to close the cabinet, he looks at you with lust in his eyes. His hands run up your arms, over your shoulders, until his hands cup your face. He says “No, i don’t want a drink. Your house is not a mess and the only thing on my mind right now, is kissing every square inch of your body.”
Chills ran through your entire body, the center of your body raging for sexual attention, your heart is beating entirely too fast. But everything in your body is begging for this exact thing to happen.
Danny leans in and plants a soft, but intense kiss upon your lips. Sliding his tongue across your bottom lip, your tongue sliding against his. He’s breathing turns more heavy, his hands snake down your back, over your ass and gave it a squeeze. You wrap your arms around his neck, one hand is slide up to the nape of his neck into his hair. You pull gently on his beautiful, dark curls while the other hand is tugging on the back of his shirt motioning him to strip.
Danny stands back to remove his shirt, underneath he has a little bit of hair on his chest. Something that drives you insanely hot to your core. Your eyes fall to his belt, you take in every perfect aspect of his upper half. You lick your lips when your eyes land back to his lips. He comes closer to your body and places a gentle kiss on your lips, leaving little kisses across your jaw, down your neck until he’s to your collarbone. He plants wet kisses down your chest in between your breasts. He noticed you have a body suit on, he slides his hands down your sides. He sticks his fingers in the waistband of your jeans, sliding them around until he reaches to the button on your jeans. Slowly un-doing your button, he bends to his knees looking up to you to make sure you give him approval to pull your jeans off. You give him a slight nob while your breathing was heavy and shaky.
Danny pulls your jeans down past your ass to your knees, taking his time with you. He sees the tattoos all over your legs, he begins to kiss every single inch of every tattoo you have. You throw your head back while the center of you is begging for his touch and attention. You look down when you feel him stop, Danny still on his knees. He piers up at you, giving you the sweetest and most devilish smile before kissing your center through your body suit.
You bite your bottoms lip, “Daniel, please i need you…” you say while grabbing his hands that are on your hips. “Eager little one” smiling up at you. He stands up, picking you up to put you on the counter. You find yourself leaning in to bite his bottom lip, he groans as if that is a weakness of his. He starts to suck on your chest, leaving tiny purple marks. Danny pulls your shoes off, slowly he pulls your jeans off. Still connected to his lips, you feel him reach between your leg and unsnap your body suit. You let out a little gasp, as if you were surprised.
He brushes his finger across your swollen clit and gently sliding his fingers through your folds until he gets to your entrance.
“Oh baby, you are soaked and it’s all because of me.” He says giggling in between kisses. “Honey, i’m not trying to rush anything. But please please Daniel fuck me.” you respond while watching him play with your wetness between your legs. He takes his other hand, with two fingers he lifts your chin to meet his gaze. Your eyes are heavy with lust, Danny smiles. He shoves two fingers inside of your entrance, you gasp and grab the arm that is has his hand under your chin.
“Just like this, right?” as he’s pumping his fingers in and out of you. You can’t make out words to respond, so you just shake your head yes. You can tell how hard he is under his pants, you reach down to touch his bulge. Rubbing up and down, you see his eyes roll, his head leans back for a moment. With every moan, Danny is pumping his fingers harder and faster. Finally, he leans back in placing a kiss on your lips, sliding his tongue across your, biting your lip.
“Where is your bedroom?” he says out of breath from the kiss. “Down the hall, on the left.” He pulls his fingers out of you, picking you up and taking you to your bedroom. He places you on your bed, you take your body suit off as fast as you can. You lay back down after you take the remaining of your clothes off, Danny is just standing above you with his mouth wide open.
“What?? Do i look bad?? What’s wrong??” you say trying to cover yourself up. “Y/N, no. You are beautiful, insanely hot to be a mom.” as he is undoing his belt, he slides his pants and boxers off. You shoot him a slight smile. He places one knee between your legs, gently guiding for you to spread your legs. He lays on top of you, kissing your forehead, then your nose and finally placing what felt like the most intimate kiss you have ever received from anyone. You feel his erection, lightly rubbing against your clit. You buckle your hips to get a better feel. He starts placing wet kisses on your bare chest, until a nipple is on his mouth. Slowly making circles with his tongue, while one hand is gasping the other lightly rubbing his thumb across your free nipple. You let out soft moans, your hands find their way up his body and into his curls.
He pulls back, still on his knees he looks down to your wet entrance. Gather the moisture that is in his mouth, he spits on your pussy. He guides himself, sliding over your clit, between your folds while teasing your hot, wet core. Danny looks at you for clarification, if you’re still okay with what is happening.
“Please daddy, I want you inside of me.” you beg to him, you grab your boobs and pinch your nipples to make them hard. Danny doesn’t say a word. Slowly, easing himself into you. You moan and let out a deep breath.
“Fuck, Y/N you feel amazing.” He drops his head in the crook of your neck, his breathing is shaky. Kissing your neck, he starts to pick up speed.
“Daddy, it feels so gooddd..” moaning in between words, trying to catch your breath. He leans up, placing his hands behind your knees and pushing your legs back further to where you are open wide.
“Play with yourself, Mami” as he is watching himself pump in and out of your sweet, tight pussy. You follow his instructions and start circling your clit. Your head starts spinning, you start seeing spots, you’re almost to your climax. Danny notices your eyes rolling, he stops.
“Not just yet honey.” he says while taking both of your legs and flipping you on your stomach. He grabs your hips and pulls them to line up with himself. Rubbing is throbbing cock on your sensitive clit, you moan, grabbing the sheets on your bed desperately wanting him to enter you.
“Please please, makes me cum Danny…” you plead biting your lip. Danny runs his hand up your back, finding the nape of your neck wrapping your hair within his fist. He pulls you up to him, his lips are pressed against your ear.
“Is this what you want, my love?” slowly guiding himself inside of you. Gasping for air as you feel every inch of him stretch you out, Danny thrusts in and out, harder and faster. Hearing your skin collide with his, one of your favorite things to hear during sex.
“God you are so fucking perfect, you’re such a good girl.” he thrusts hard but slow. Making you whine and shake, you’re so close to your release.
“Just like that Danny, please i’m gonna cum.” Being called a good girl was the icing on top of the cake. His hand releases your hair, he slides his fingers around to your mouth placing two in your mouth. You start sucking his fingers, you hear him groan as if that was the hottest thing he had witnessed.
You moan, still sucking on his fingers. You breathe through your nose, shaking, getting light headed. You released all over his cock, you can feel how wet everything became. Your cum is running down your legs, you hear Danny say “Oh my god, you squirt?!?”
The excitement in his voice, you can tell that he’s never experienced that before. His fingers pull out of your mouth and you drop down to the bed, you feel both of his hands on your hips. He slaps your ass, leaving a pretty handprint upon your ass. He picks up the pace, finally.
He releases his load within you. “Fuck…Jesusss, Y/N, ohhhmyyygoddd.” You can feel every drop of him running into your hole, his cock pulsating.
After a couple of minutes, he finally pulls out and rolls to his back. You still on your stomach, you shut your eyes for a moment. When you open them, you can see Danny admiring your features.
“You have the most beautiful eyes, green and brown like a mountain side.” he smiles, while brushing your hair behind your ear. You scoot closer until you’re laying on his chest, your arms under your chin. You take your pointer finger and glide it down his nose.
“Might sound weird, but i think your nose is pretty beautiful.” you both laugh as his arm reaches your back, you can feel him to start doing circles on your skin.
“Would you stay with me tonight?” you say gazing into his eyes.
“I thought you’d never ask…” he places a sweet kiss on your forehead.
You both get under the covers, you’re laying on his chest, placing your ear over his heart. You had never realized that listening to a heartbeat could be so peaceful, you both fall asleep.
~~*~~
The sun peaking through the blinds, the birds are chirping outside your window. You roll over to see the beautiful man that is still in your bed. You smile, admiring him while he sleeps. His lips are thin, but plump. The way his curls are laid out on the pillow, you reach over placing your fingers within his dark hair. You start twisting a curl between your fingers.
He moves slightly, you jerk not wanting to disturb his beauty sleep. “Good morning mama.” he says in his sleepy, raspy morning voice.
“Good morning handsome.” you respond curling up under his arm. His eyes still shut, his arm reaches around your back.
You lay there for a second, until you sit up to straddle him. You lean down to place the softest kiss on his lips, you place soft and sweet kisses along his jaw, down his neck and across his collarbone.
“You can’t get enough of me, huh darling.” speaking still in his sleepy and raspy voice.
“Just wanted to thank you for last night. I had a lot of fun.” you respond sitting up still straddling him, you run your fingers along his chest to his stomach.
“You don’t have to thank me honey.” he finally opens his eyes, running his hands up your thighs . He grabs your hands to pull you closer to his chest. He kisses the top of your head, wrapping his arms around you.
You both lay in that position for a bit. You realize you were supposed to pick up Emmy from your moms. You sit up quickly, looking for your phone. You get off of him, running down the hall to your purse to get your phone. 11:00 am, appears when you turn your phone on.
“SHIT!!” you say running down the hall to your bedroom. Danny still laying in bed, with his arms behind his head.
“Babe, im so sorry. i have to go pick up my daughter from my moms. i overslept…” you say struggling to find clothes as quickly as you can. Finding some leggings and putting on a bra, you find Danny just watching you with the sweetest smile.
“Do you want me to go with you to pick her up?” he says while sitting up in bed.
“You really don’t have too, my mom might flip her shit with me bringing a random man to pick up my daughter.” you replied putting on a Greta Van Fleet shirt and throwing your hair up into a bun.
Danny stands up, letting out a giggle. He walks over to you, grabbing your arms to slow you down for just a second.
“Look we can take my car. I won’t get out of the car, you can just run in and grab her. Your mom won’t see me. By the way, i love that shirt.” he says calmly, staring into your eyes. He cups your face and lays a soft kiss on your lips. You look up to him and can just tell this man has the sweetest soul.
“Okay, but you have to stay in the car. Hurry up and put your clothes on. We have to leave like now.” with your hands over top of his, they are still cupping your face. Danny walks around the room to grab his clothes and puts them on quickly. You look down at the shirt, completely confused. You haven’t even listened to that band before. AC had thrifted it a while back and gave it to you when she was getting rid of clothes she didn’t want anymore. You take off down the hall to grab your purse. Danny soon following behind you out the door. You run to your car to grab Emmys car seat, opening his back drivers side door and buckling the car seat into the car. You went to run around the passenger door, Danny is standing at the door.
“Honey, slow down. Breathe for just a moment, it’s okay.” He places his soft lips upon your cheek. You do as he says, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath. You open your eyes and look into his.
“Thank you for being so calming and sweet.” you respond grabbing his calloused hands. Danny opens the door and you jump into the car. He walks around to the drivers side and gets in. He hands you his phone to type in the address to your moms. He turns on the music you both were listing to last night on the way home.
You reach over to the radio to turn the volume down. “So, what do you do for a living?” you look over to him and you noticed how handsome his side profile is.
He laughs, looking over to you. “I’m in a band.” He reaches over to grab your hand, bringing it over the console of the Jeep.
“A band?? Seriously??” you giggle.
“Greta Van Fleet, to be exact.” he taps his thumb on the steering wheel. Your eyes get huge, your mouth falls open. You jerk your hand out of his, looking down to the shirt you are wearing. You sit up, turning your whole body to face him.
You’re speechless.

jake x danny x fem!reader
2.6k words minors DNI
WARNINGS: dom!danny, unprotected sex, threesome(ish???), rough sex, face fucking, overstim(?)
pls lmk if i missed any!
“Are you sure it’s going to be alright? If you need a break or need to go home I can-” Danny was rather anxious today. It was a new years party and you’d be with his family and close friends for the event. He knew how easy it was for you to get overwhelmed. He just wanted you to know it was okay if you wanted to leave before midnight.
“I’ll be okay Danny boy, I promise. And if something does happen, you’ll be the first to know. I swear.” You reassured him.
He took a deep breath as he put his car into park on the side of the road. He would usually park in the driveway but with so many people at the house, he had no other choice. 
He gave you a kiss before turning the car off and helping you out. You pulled your dress down and grabbed a hold of Danny’s hand. 
As the door opened and various different people greeted the both of you, you smiled to yourself. Danny didn’t know your mischievous little plan you had for tonight. Danny, although you loved him deeply, he was too soft in the bedroom and you needed more. You had plan to flirt with one of his band mates to make him jealous and fuck you like you deserved. It might not have been the best plan as it had a 50/50 chance of working in your favor, but you want to take the risk.
You greeted Lori and Daniel Sr. and many other family members, like Josie, his cousins, uncles and a couple aunts. They were all truly nice people and everytime you hung out with them, it was usually an all around delightful experience. 
Then, you walked into the kitchen and was greeted by the rest of the band. The twins and Sam were talking with beers in their hands. When they saw the two of you, their eyes lit up.
“Hi you guys!” you greeted them all with hugs, Jake’s lasting just a tad bit longer.
You pulled away and grabbed a beer yourself. You handed Danny one, which he gladly accepted. Danny nearly chugged half of it when you handed it to him. You made conversation with jake when a catchy song came on over the speaker that was playing the music. Everyone was either in the basement playing pool or outside smoking and drinking so you weren’t worried about anyone seeing you dance with jake. 
You pulled him into the living room and let the music take over your body. You were soon enough grinding against him, knowing your boyfriend would see. 
“Y/n, what are you doing?”Jake whispered in your ear, grabbing your hips. 
“Shhh..I’m making Danny jealous.” You whispered back, pushing yourself even closer to Jake’s body. 
“You’re going to get us fucking killed.” Jake laughed as he continued to put on a show for the three boys in the kitchen. 
Soon enough you heard Josh whispering something to Danny. Before you knew it, you were being pulled off and dragged into the bathroom. You barely realized what was happening until you heard the bathroom door slam and you being pushed against that very door. Danny’s hand went around your neck, just barely enough to restrict your airflow.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” He was basically growling into your ear. You’d never seen this side of Danny and you couldn't help but to let your mind wonder as he scolded you for doing what you just pulled.
“Are you trying to fuck my band mate? My fucking brother? What is fucking wrong with you?” He scolded.
You tried to hide your smile but you were obviously failing.
“You think it’s funny? Would you think it’s funny if I had him watch me fucking destroy you? Let him see how fucking whiny you get when I don’t let you cum?” He scowled.
If you weren’t blushing, you sure a fuck were now. You didn’t have a single thought in your head other than how undeniably hot it would be to indeed have him watch you two.
“I- don’t know- I just-” you were stuttering fumbling over your words more than you ever had.
Was this a mistake? You’d never seen Danny actually mad. He’s been irritated, sure. But never pissed off like this. 
“Okay. I see what’s happening here. Let’s go.” Danny pulled you by your arm, guiding you into a room in the back of the house. This house was fucking huge, you weren’t sure if anyone would here you. 
He pushed you onto the bed and walked out of the room with a simple. 
“Stay fucking put.” he slammed the door behind him and you were left with your own thoughts. You had zero idea about what was going to happen within the four walls of this bedroom. You literally couldn’t even imagine.
Not even five minutes later, Danny walked into the room with Jake following quick behind him. 
Did Jake actually agree to this? Was this for real going to happen right now? How did Danny get him to agree to it so fucking quick? 
Your mind was racing with thoughts that you knew you’d get no answer to. You didn’t have time to even ask before Danny started throwing around orders at you.
“You wanted him, he’s here. He can watch how fucked out I can make you.” 
Your eyes darted back and forth between the two men. Jake’s presence seemed to be darker than before and the hard on in his pants was an easy sign as to how Danny got him to say yes so quickly. 
“Take your clothes off.” Danny ordered, his eyes not leaving you once.
You were hesitant at first but that was when Jake finally spoke his first words.
“C’mon, princess. Let me see how pretty you are. Can you do that for me?” 
You would’ve done anything this man asked if he would use that voice all the time. Your dress was soon on the floor and now you were in nothing but your panties. You praised your earlier self for putting your best pair on. 
Jake let out a soft breath as you slowly revealed yourself. You started to like this idea more and more by the second. The way Danny looked at you like you were his last meal on earth and Jake looking at you like you were his first. 
You never expected the two men to be so different in these ways. Jake was softer than you ever imagined. He called you various different pretty names as you took your clothes off and Danny just wanted to tear your clothes off himself and be already buried 8 inches deep in you. 
You watched Danny walk over to you, pushing you back onto the bed. He crawled over you, making your breath start to pick up. He came close to your ear and softly spoke into it. 
“Are you going to tell me why you did it? Why you so badly wanted Jake to fuck you right in front of everyone in the fucking livingroom?” 
You didn’t know what to answer his question with. You didn’t want Jake to fuck you in front of everyone.
“I didn’t I just-” You really didn’t want to say, it was embarrassing. 
He kissed down your chest, giving it a hard bite, causing you to wince.
“Tell me.” Now it was a demand instead of a question.
“I just wanted you to be rough! I wanted to make you jealous!” You finally admitted.
You felt Danny smirk against your skin.
“Rough? I can be rough for you baby.” he stood up, unbuckling his belt.
“Should I give her what she wants, Jake?” He asked the man behind him. Jake smiled, looking down at you and now softly tracing a finger over your leg, up to your covered cunt. It caused you to jerk your body.
“I think she went through enough trouble, don’t you think?” He responded to your boyfriend. As he finished his sentence, he took a seat on the couch sat across from the bed. Danny pulled his cock out and without words, ordered you to get on your knees. Your heart began to race as you got down. You weren’t so sure you could take all of it like he wanted you to, but you’d try your best.
“You remember how to tell me to stop?” you nodded to his question.
“Three taps.”
He nodded and took the back of your head, guiding it to his cock. You opened your mouth and  took as much of it in as you could. You were going to be honest with yourself, it wasn’t much. Danny started pushing your head down, trying to go slow so you’d get used to it before he could even think about getting rough with you. 
You tried your best to breathe out of your nose, doing your best attempt not to gag around him. When you finally took it to the base, he gave you a second before pulling you off. Your eyes were already being threatened with tears and you knew you wouldn’t look pretty after this. You had no fucking idea how you’d make it out to even the bathroom without anyone seeing you and your running make up.
Danny started to set his own pace with your mouth. He let out gasps and groans as he did so. You looked at him through your lashes. The tears that were previously trying their best to stay in your eyes had now spilled down your face. 
Every so often Danny would pull you off of his dick to let you breathe, but other than that, he was down your throat and it wasn’t as bad as you expected. You loved the way he looked from where you were. 
Danny had now put you back on the bed, you protested with a whine to which Danny laughed at. 
“I’m not going to cum before I get the chance to fuck you. And you know that.” 
You had caught a glimpse of Jake and his dick was now freely out for anyone to see, stroking it while looking your body up and down. You’d do the same if you were him. It was pretty much his own personal porn video. 
Danny looked over at Jake, signaling him to come over, which he did. 
“Hold her hands.” was all he said.
Jake took a seat next to you, holding your hands above your head. Danny slowly started to take your panties off, revealing you in all your glory. Either of the men in the room considered themselves lucky to see the view they had in front of them. Danny stuffed your panties in his pocket, not wanting to lose them. He let one of his fingers dance around your clit and watched you as you tried your best to get out the grip they both had on you. 
You received a hard slap to your thigh, causing you to stop your movements. 
“Don’t be a fucking brat for getting what you want. Or I WILL put a stop to it.” he said, slightly raising his voice. 
He knelt down, giving a slow, hard lick all the way up to your clit. Your back arched and you let out possibly the most pathetic moan you’d ever heard.
Danny gave you a little bit of grace, diving into your cunt. It was the best head you’d ever gotten. It made you eyes roll to the back of your head and you were pushing your body against Jake. since your legs were spread open, you took your left knee and grazed it against Jake’s clothed cock. His hips pushed up against the air and a low moan escaped his mouth. 
You were already so dizzy from the energy in the room you weren’t sure how long you’d last. 
“Danny- I can’t hold it- please-” you begged, already feeling an orgasm coming up.
“Should I let her, Jake?” Danny asked, pulling away from you, replacing his tongue with his thumb.
Jake thought long and hard while you gave him pleading eyes.
“Let her.” he said as he took one of his hands and softly pet your head. You knew if you wanted you could very well take one or both of your hands out of Jake’s but you liked the feeling of him.
Danny placed his tongue back on you and you finally got pushed over the edge. Your body shook against Jake’s as you let the orgasm wash over you. Jake let go of your hands and they immediately went to his shirt, gripping and scratching at it while you came down from your high. 
When your breathing seemed to even out, Jake went back to his spot on the couch and watched as Danny took off his lower half of clothes. Danny flipped you onto your stomach, helping you bring your ass into the air. 
You turned your head to the left, having a perfect view of Jake once again whipping out his cock. You ever would have imagined this would ever happen. You would always look at Jake and wonder what he would be like in bed, but you never knew you’d be getting fucked by your boyfriend, letting him watch. 
A smile made it’s presence on your face as you felt Danny finally slide into you. His cock was pure bliss and it made your day better 100% of the time. He didn’t take his time with your cunt like he did your mouth. It made the headboard hit the wall over and over while your body moved with it. 
You were sure your ass was going to be red and sore by the time you were done here. Every other thrust, Danny was hitting your ass like his life depended on it.
You tried your best to stay focused on Jake and how he would seem to hold off on cumming when you let out an especially loud cry. 
When your eyes traveled up from Jake’s cock to his eyes, you could’ve came in that very fucking moment. You didn’t know what it was about Jake but he must have put some type of spell on you to make you feel the way you did  when looking him in the eye. 
“Danny, can- I cum- oH my GOD-” you cried out, being so close to tipping over the edge of a second orgasm. 
“No. Not yet.” he timed his words with his thrusts. You let out a whine, trying to protest the denial of your orgasm. That was only greeted with another hard smack to your ass.
“Dan- Danny, let her fucking cum.” He tried to persuade Danny, but it didn’t work.
“Shut the fuck up, Jake, you only want her to cum so you can get off. Stop thinking with your dick.” 
Danny himself was close to finishing but he wouldn’t let you get off that easy. It was a hard struggle to keep himself from cumming, but he knew it’d be worth it when he got to see your body shake and jerk all over from his cock.
A couple more thrusts and Danny was about to fall over the edge.
“Cum. Let go and let me feel you cum.” He growled as he crashed into his orgasm. 
When you came, so did Jake. The room was filled with moans and cries and it was the hottest thing fucking imaginable. You were out of it for a good 5 minutes before you came back to. Danny was now laying next to you, soothing you as you tried your best to ground yourself. Jake was long gone, probably in the bathroom cleaning his own mess up.
“Let me get you cleaned up and we can go home, yeah?” Danny asked, looking down at you. You nodded as Danny started to put your dress back on. When you asked him for your underwear, he chuckled.
“After what you pulled? No, I don’t think so. You wore such a short dress, why not let people see?”

Yes!
Oh, hi, Ted.
Oh, hey, Audrey. Hi.
Did your ball land in my backyard again?
What? No. A model airplane, this time.
Hey, do you want to see something cool? Come on.
Whoa!
Did you… Did you paint this?
Do you like it?
What? Are you kidding? This is amazing! What are those?
Those are trees. Real ones. They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk!
Wow! What does that even mean?
I know, right?
Oh, yeah.
What I want more than anything in the whole world is to see a real living tree growing in my backyard.
So if, say… I’m just thinking out loud here. If a guy somehow got you one…
I’d probably marry him on the spot. I bet that sounds crazy. Does that sound crazy?
No! Not crazy. Not crazy at all.
* * *
Ted, honey, don’t play with your food. You, either, Mom.
So, Mom, do you happen to know if there’s any place where I could get a real tree?
Ted, we already have a tree. It’s the latest model.
Yeah, but I mean a real one that grows out of the ground or whatever. You know, a real tree.
Really?
You would rather have some dirty, messy lump of wood that just sticks out of the ground? And it does what? I don’t even know what it does. What’s its purpose? Look at what we’ve got. It’s the Oak-amatic. The only tree with its own remote. Summer, autumn, winter, and disco!
Mom? Come on, Ted. Get into it.
Dance with the tree.
Oh, it hurts, Mom. Please stop.
So, anyway… Let’s just say I need a tree. Where would I go? What do I do?
Then you know what? You need to find the Once-ler.
The What?
Mom, it’s not really the time for one of your magical fables, okay?
That’s right, I forgot. I’m old and can’t even remember to put my teeth in.
Stand down. That’s not what I meant.
No, really, I forgot my teeth. Would you be a dear and go get them for me?
Sure, Mom.
Okay, here’s the deal. The Once-ler is the man who knows what happened to the trees. You want one, you need to find him.
The Once-ler? Mmm-hmm. Okay. Grammy, is this a real thing that we’re talking about now?
Oh, he’s real all right.
Well, where can I find him?
Far outside of town where the grass never grows and the wind smells slow and sour when it blows. And no birds ever sing, excepting old crows.
Quit doing that.
That’s the place where the Once-ler lives.
Wait, outside of town?
People used to say if you brought him 15 cents, a nail and the shell of a great, great, great grandfather snail, he would tell you everything.
* * *
Hmm.
Mr. O’Hare, what we’ve got for you is something that is going to take O’Hare Air to the next level.
Now, Mr. O’Hare, I know what you’re thinking. One, “I’ve gotten rich selling people air that’s” “fresher than the stinky stuff outside.” Two, and here is the important one, “How can I possibly make even more money?” We can tell you, sir! We can tell you.
Check out this commercial, huh?
Well, here goes another lame Saturday.
Dude, I don’t think so! Huh!
Hey!
Man!
Oh, yeah!
What!
Yeah!
O’Hare purified air. Freshness to go. Please breathe responsibly.
Ah?
Oh, my goodness. Yeah! Love it.
You got to be kidding me. You really think people are stupid enough to buy this?
Our research shows that if you put something in a plastic bottle, people will buy it.
Exactly. And…
And what’s more, when we build a new factory to make the plastic bottles, the air quality is just going to get worse.
Which will make people want our air even more, and drive sales where?
Through the roof!
So, in other words, the more smog in the sky, the more people will buy.
See, that’s why he’s the genius!
It even rhymes!
I’m aware it rhymes.
Coats. Big.
What do you two knuckleheads want? I’m in the middle of a meeting!
What?
Why is he leaving town? No one ever leaves town! See what he’s up to.
* * *
Whoa!
Huh?
Whoa! Whoa.
Oh, man.
Whoa!
All right.
Okay.
What the…
Whoa!
Who are you? Who are you and what are you doing here?
I’m Ted. I’m Ted. I can’t breathe. Are you the Once-ler? Oh, man.
Didn’t you read the signs? No one is supposed to come here. Get out of here and leave me alone! And don’t let the boot hit you on the way out.
The boot?
Hello!
Ow!
Listen! People say that if someone brings you this stuff that you will tell them about trees. No, no, no!
Trees?
Yeah, real ones. You know, that grow out of the ground? Hello?
Sorry, it’s just… Well, I didn’t think anyone still cared about trees.
Well, that’s me. The guy who still cares. I’m here. Hey! What?
Do you want to know about trees? About what happened to them? Why they’re all gone? It’s because of me.
Wait, what?
It’s because of me! And my invention, the Thneed. It was an amazing product that could do the job of a thousand.
All right. Sounds ridiculous, but I mean, that’s cool.
You’re darn right it was cool! It all started a long time ago.
Can we start not so long ago, maybe?
Do you want a tree?
Yes, yes.
Then it all started a long, long time ago. I was a young man leaving home…
Well, here I go, Mom. Off to change the world with my Thneed. I’m actually doing it!
Yes, but just remember, Oncie, if somehow your invention ends up a failure instead of a success, oh, it wouldn’t surprise me at all!
Nice wheels. Burn! Ow!
Yeah, “Burn!” But you will see, okay? I’m going to prove you all wrong. Come on, Melvin!
So, there I was at the very bottom. With nothing but a wagon, a mule, and a completely irrational sense of optimism.
I was searching the globe, obsessed with finding the perfect material for my Thneed. But I’d had absolutely no success. Until one day, I found paradise…
Oh! We’re going to be there soon, I’m sure. Whoa!
This is the most beautiful place, okay, I have ever seen.
Oh.
Ta-da!
Whoa!
Yeah.

Hey, guys! Come on, where is my back-up chorus?
What?
Ah-ha! Oh.
Ooh!
Hey, hey, wait. Wait a minute.
Excuse me?
Yeah, that’s awesome. Feeding junk food to forest animals? That’s great. But, uh, is there a musical number where you show me how to get a tree? Because I would love to hear that one.
Oh, yes. Right after the musical number about the kid who kept interrupting the story, and was never heard from again.
Right, got it. Proceed.
All right, here we go. About to make a Thneed, about to change the world.
Check it out, guys… Where did everybody go?
Little did I know that by chopping down that tree I had just summoned a mystical creature as old as time itself. The legendary, slightly annoying guardian of the forest. The Lorax.
Hey!
Whoo!
Did you chop down this tree?
Uh… No.
Who did it?
What’s that? I think he did it.
Leave! Vacate the premises! Take your ax and get out!
And who are you?
I’m the Lorax! Guardian of the forest. I speak for the trees. So you’re telling me, you just didn’t see me magically appear out of that stump? With all the lightning and thunder and stuff. You didn’t see any of that?
No, but that sounds amazing. Can I see some of that?
Uh, yeah, I could show you. But that’s not how it works.
Okay. Um… Didn’t really happen. Oh, I know what you want! I’ve got one of these for the cutest little guy I ever saw! Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy…
How dare you! Give me that! Mmm. I’m going to eat this, but I am highly offended by it.
What are you… Hey, Mustache! Will you stop that? What’s your deal, man?
Pull them right out Time for you to go, Beanpole!
Just going to put them right back in. We can do this all day.
Stop right there! Stop it! So you would hammer one of nature’s innocent creatures?
What? No! I would never hit this little guy. You, on the other hand, I would gladly pound you and your mustache into the ground!
Behold! The intruder and his violent ways. Shame on you. For shame!
All right, you know what? That’s it! You listen to me, you furry meatloaf. I’m going to chop down as many trees as I need. Okay? Newsflash! Not going anywhere! End of story.
Then you leave me no choice. If you’re not gone by the time the sun sets on this valley, all the forces of nature will be unleashed upon you and curse you until the end of your days! You have been warned. Thanks.
Yeah, okay.
You have been warned.
But I didn’t listen to his warning. And you won’t believe what happened that night.
What?
If you want to hear more, come back tomorrow.
Hey, wait, wait! Tomorrow?
Whoa!
Whoa-ho-ho.
Are you serious right now?
Ah! You live in the middle of nowhere!
It stinks out here. Don’t make me come back!
I guess you don’t really want to hear the rest of the story.
No, no.
I do. I really do. I want to hear the story. I just…
Nah! You don’t have what it takes. Goodbye.
Wait, wait! I have what it takes. It’s all right. It’s okay, I’ll come back. It’s no problem. See, here I am, leaving. Walking away now. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Mmm. Maybe. Just maybe.
* * *
What did you wish for, Audrey?
Well, I would love to tell you, but, sadly, according to the universal wish laws, I cannot I know what she wished for.
Was it, perhaps… This?
Ted, you didn’t.
Oh, no. I totally did. Happy birthday, Audrey.
Kiss him! Kiss him!
Ted. Ted. Tedster.
Huh!
You’re kissing the cereal again, hon. What?
I just… I like this cereal.
What one is this? Yeah!
Okay.
Well, I’ll make sure to buy extra next time for you.
All right, cool. Hey, I got to run. I got to go do a thing. So, I’ll see you guys.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You’re not going anywhere, young man. It’s Sunday. You know what that means? Family time, and we’re all playing board games!
But…
Hmm. Mmm?
Oh, man.
Mom, seriously, every turn?
Hey, back off! Ooh! No.
Okay! Family time is over. It is now personal time. I’ll be in my room.
Okay, dear. Have fun.
I knew I could break her. Go.
Huh?
Go see him!
Oh, yeah! You rule! Thank you, Grammy.
* * *
Whoa!
Hey! Ted, right?
Um, Mr. O’Hare?
So, I hear you have become interested in trees. What’s that all about?
Oh. Um… Where did you hear that?
Oh. Teddy, there’s not much that goes on in Thneedville that I don’t know about. Here’s the deal, I make a living selling fresh air to people. Trees? They make it for free. So, when I hear people talking about them, I consider it kind of a threat to my business.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
You listen to me, boy. Don’t go poking around in things you don’t understand or I’ll be your worst nightmare. I’m Frankenstein’s head on a spider’s body!
Yeah, um… Okay, my mom is expecting me. So, I’m just going to…
Of course, of course. Now, go back to your family game time. Grandma just finished her turn.
How did you know?
Please. I have eyes everywhere.
Huh!
You got a beautiful town here, Ted. Lots of fun stuff to occupy your short attention span. Why, I can’t think of any reason you would ever want to go outside of town again.
Even.
Okay! Good talk. Really good talk.
Oh, no. Look out! Hey, man? You know, you need to change that door bell.
Oh, you missed me.
What?
You’re already back. Clearly, you missed me a little. Right?
No, I didn’t. I’m just here to hear the end of the story.
Why are you so interested in trees anyway? Why aren’t you like other kids, break dancing and wearing bell-bottoms, and playing the Donkey Kongs?
Yeah, right, right. I don’t know.
Uh, I just thought it would be kind of cool to have one, you know?
Huh? It’s a girl, isn’t it?
What? No!
Really? Because when a guy does something stupid once, well, that’s because he’s a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, it’s usually to impress some girl.
Hey, she is not some girl! She’s a woman, in high school. And she loves trees. And I’m going to get her one.
Aw! How nice to see someone so undeterred by things like reality.
Thank you.
All right, but where did we leave off?
* * *
Now that’s a Thneed. Nothing unmanly about knitting. No, sir. Look at that…
Oh! Who taught you guys how to steal a bed?
Shh!
Okay, nice and easy.
Nice work, you guys. Couldn’t have done it without you.
You got to be kidding me. Can he swim? Of course he can’t swim! Hang on, Pipsqueak! I’m coming to get you!
Hey, you fishies! Stop that bed!
Whoo! Whoo!
Jump, jump! Come on, get up there. Come on. Go, go! A little bit more! A little bit more!
Now what?
Mmm-mmm.
Get up there. Okay, Pipsqueak, give me your hand. Come on, reach out for the Lorax. Where did you go?
Bar-ba-loots.
Oh, that’s bad.
Hey, Beanpole, wake up!
What’s happening? Where am I?
Hey! We got trouble, and it’s coming up fast!
Whoo! We’re in a river!
Whew!
Oh, no.
Just do something!
Help is on the way!
No, no!
Just a minute!
Oh, no! Wake up! Wake up! Yuck!
Clear!
Ah!  I was heading into the light, and you pulled me right back and here I am! You saved my life!
Yeah, I know. Well, no, it’s not that big a deal.
It is a big deal! Look, I almost went over that waterfall! Wait… On my bed. How did my bed get in the river?
Uh… About that… Actually… I put your bed in the water. I didn’t mean you any harm. I just wanted to calmly float you away. Look, everyone here needs the trees and you’re chopping them down! So, we’ve got a big problem.
All right, look. I hereby swear that I will never chop down another tree. I promise.
Thank you. But I’m going to keep my eye on you.
Good. Now, I’ve got a big day tomorrow so I’m going to get some sleep. Right after I find my bed.
* * *
Ow!
Okay, what are you… Question, what are they doing here? And follow up, if I may, what are you doing here?
Well, after the incident last night, we found one of your socks and came here to return it.
But when we got here, you were asleep.
What?
Ew!
Exactly. And sleeping is the body’s way of telling other people to go away.
I know, but you looked so cozy. And it was cold outside, and we just fell asleep. No harm done.
“No harm done”? “No harm done”? Okay.
Okay, I put my lips on those. Well, I used to, anyway.
Ew. Did you just… In my bowl!
Why do you have one of these? You don’t even have a mustache.
Okay, that’s it!
What? I thought we made a deal last night.
Yes, we did. And I said I wouldn’t chop down any more trees.
And I said I was going to keep an eye on you.
I’m starving. What’s for breakfast? Breakfast is overrated.
You know what? I got work to do. Yeah. I got to go into town and sell my Thneed.
You chopped down one of my trees to make that piece of garbage? Look at that…
“Garbage”? Oh, no. Oh, no! You do not get it. This is a revolutionary product that will change the world as we know it. It has a million uses! Look at this. It’s a swimsuit! Mud tracked all over your floor by uninvited guests? Well, the Thneed sure comes in handy for that! But wait, there’s more! Thanks to its all-natural microfibers, the Thneed is super-absorbent! It also works as a hat. Of course, you probably want to wring it out first.
Go ahead, knock yourself out. But nobody is going to buy that thing.
Good to know. Well, fortunately, you are not the target market, weirdo.
You’re bringing a guitar?
Oh, yeah. I got a little jingle. I’m gonna blow some minds, gonna sell some Thneeds! Yeah.
♪ Everybody needs a Thneed ♪
♪ A fine thing that all people… ♪
Sit down, go on.
Unfortunately, I didn’t sell it the first day.
♪ The Thneed is good ♪
♪ The Thneed is great… ♪
Hey!
Or the second day.
Hey!
Or the third, or fourth, or fifth day.
Okay, that one hit the tender spot.
Until finally…
That’s it! You know what?
I’m done with this thing.
Aw.
My family was right. I quit!
Hey. Cool hat.
Oh, my gosh! I totally want one.
That thing makes me like you more.
Hey! Where’s your Thneed, did you sell it?
Hey. No, no. Didn’t sell it. Turns out, it’s ahead of its time, I guess.
Hey, you gave it your best shot. Right? What more can you do? Come on, take a seat, we’ll deal you in.
What are we playing?
I’m playing poker. He’s playing Go Fish. And I think he’s hungry.
Ohhh.
♪ Pancake, the pancake ♪
Up!
Who is up for ninths?
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Whoa! All right, pass them over.
Yeah, see? What’s going on?
Oh, no. That’s a lot of people.

Mom? Hey, it’s me! I told you I was going to be a success! You need to bring the whole family here right now. We’re going to be rich! What? I’m going to need all the help I can get. Don’t worry.
* * *
So, has he told you how to get a tree yet?
Actually, no. But I think he’s going to get to that part really soon.
Here we are.
What? I’ll just be a minute.
Oh, wow. Hey, Audrey!
Oh, hi, Ted! What’s up?
You know me, just cruising. Putting out the vibe. Just me and my thoughts.
Oh, is this the girl you’re always talking about?
Grandma! Stop making things up.
She’s even prettier than…
Okay, got to run! Bye.
Okay, Grammy, let’s get you home!
Yeah!
Whoa! I’m so sorry. So sorry. Did not wanna see that.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa-ho-ho!
Hey!
Hey, I’m back.
What have you got there? Yes!
Whoa!
Thank you, Ted. Now, picture this. Sun shining, a blue sky, a perfect day. It was all downhill from there.
Whoa!
What a dump.
Hey, Aunt Grizelda!
Hey, Chet, check this out! Go long!
No, Brett, that’s actually not a… Okay.
Go long! Go long!
I got it! I got it!
Got it!
He totally ran into that tree!
Ow!
Oncie, is that you?
Mom!
There he is! There’s my big, suddenly successful son! We always knew you would make it, Oncie. Right?
Hey! I love this guy!
But you always said I wouldn’t amount to anything, remember? Hush your mouth. I was just trying to motivate you!
I am really glad that you clarified that because it actually hurt my feelings for a really long time. Anyway, you’re all here, you all work for me, and that’s cool. So, let’s get to work.
Brett, Chet, set up the RV! Would you stop throwing that bear?
Time out. Back up. Stop. Don’t move an inch. Nobody’s moving in here. You got to go. Goodbye.
So, who invited the giant, furry peanut?
You calling me a peanut, huh? I’ll go right up your nose!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You wouldn’t hit a woman.
That’s a woman?
Okay. Everyone, cool it. Let’s not get off on the wrong foot here. Um, family, this is my friend…
Acquaintance.
Yeah, acquaintance. Very good acquaintance, the Lorax. He speaks for the trees.
That’s right. And on behalf of the trees, get out!
Will you just be nice! This is my family. And I’m going to need their help if my company is going to get bigger. Okay?
Bigger?
Yeah, this isn’t some rinky-dink operation anymore. I got plans. Big plans! A vision of a world filled with Thneeds. It’s going to be huge!
Which way does a tree fall?
Uh, down?
A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.
* * *
I mean, look at this. It’s amazing. I am so proud of me.
Oncie, we’ve got us a little problem.
Problem?
Mmm-hmm. See, we’re not making Thneeds fast enough.
Harvesting the tufts takes too long!
Well, what else can we do?
Well, and this just came to me, we could always start chopping down the trees.
What?
Now you’re thinking. That would speed things up!
But…
No “but” s, Oncie. You’re running a business now. You have to do what’s best for the company, and your momma.
Well, I guess it couldn’t hurt to chop down a few trees.
You’ve made me so proud, Oncie. Come here!
Hey! I love this guy!
No! No, no, no! Stop it! Please, stop.
Take that, you stupid tree!
Where do you think you’re going?
Excuse me, sir. I need to talk with your boss.
Oh, I’m sorry, but Mr. Once-ler’s not seeing anyone right now.
Yeah, well, he’ll see me. So… Hey, keep your paws off me!
Give me a reason, Shorty.
Hey, you broke your promise. You’re better than this. You gotta stop! This is bad!
Have a nice day!
Bad? I’m not bad, I’m the good guy here. He just doesn’t get it. Do you think I’m bad? Thank you! I mean, something good finally happens to me, and he just has to come along and rain on my parade. What’s his problem? See? Yeah, bad! Right.

So, how are things?
What are you doing here?
Happy yet? You fill that hole deep down inside you? Or do you still need more?
Look, if you’ve got a problem with what I’m doing, why haven’t you used your quote-unquote powers to stop me?
I told you, that’s not how it works.
Right, I forgot. You’re a fraud. I need you to get out. Now!
Why? Do I make you uncomfortable? Remind you of the promises you made? The man you used to be?
You know what? You can just shut your mustache. My conscience is clear. I have done nothing illegal. I have my rights, and I intend to keep on biggering and biggering, and turning more Truffula trees into Thneeds. And nothing is going to stop me!
Well, that’s it. The very last one. That may stop you.
Somebody sure made a bundle on that thing. I wonder what the next million dollar invention’s going to be.
Yeah, I wonder…
Son, you have let me down. Brett, you are now my favorite child.
Hey, look, I don’t want any trouble.
And you won’t get any. Not from them. Thanks to you and your hacking, and smogging and glupping, they can’t live here anymore. So, I’m sending them off. Hopefully, they’ll be able to find a better place out there somewhere.
Melvin? Melvin… Hey, Pipsqueak… Hey…
So, this is really all your fault. You destroyed everything.
Yes. And each day since the Lorax left, I’ve sat here regretting everything I’ve done, staring at that word, “unless,” and wondering what it meant. But now I’m thinking… Well, maybe you’re the reason the Lorax left that word there.
Me? Why would he leave that for me?
Because unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
The last Truffula seed. You need to plant it, Ted.
Yeah, but, nobody cares about trees anymore.
Then make them care. Plant the seed in the middle of town, where everyone can see. Change the way things are. I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become. That’s not just a seed, any more than you’re just a boy.
I won’t let you down.
I know.
* * *
Hey, Audrey! Audrey!
Ted?
What are you doing?
Meet me at my house.
Wait, but…
My house, okay?
Got to plant the seed. Okay, we’re going to need water. And uh, something to dig with.
Um, what do I have… Ted?
Mom, I’m busy, Mom.
Theodore Wiggins, get down here right now, and I am not kidding with you!
Ted, I would like you to meet Mr. O’Hare, the most powerful man in town.
There he is! Hello, Ted.
Uh…
Hi. Isn’t he clever, Mr. O’Hare? He knows his own name and everything.
You know what I would love right now, Mrs. Wiggins? A delicious cookie. Wonderful. Teddy and I’ll stay here and talk.
Sure, why don’t you go ahead and adopt him? I’m just kidding. That was a joke. I was just joking. I’ll get your cookie.
I know you have it, Ted. So, let’s put an end to this nonsense, shall we? Hand it over.
I’m sorry… I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Really? Well, then… I guess you wouldn’t mind us checking your room.
No, no, no!
Morty! McGurk! Find the seed!
No, you can’t go up there! Guys, this is ridiculous. Stop! Hey! No, you can’t come in my room!
Find it! Find it!
What is going on here?
This doesn’t involve you! Get back downstairs!
Excuse me, down there! I don’t care who you are, you little crazy baby-man! Get out of my house now. This is outrageous.
Fine. Sorry. Must have been a misunderstanding. We’ll be leaving now. And my apologies, Ted. You be safe.
Mind telling me what’s going on here?
The seed! Where is it?
Seed?
Where’s Grammy?
It’s alive! I remember you.
Ted, what…
Audrey!
Hey, did you want to… Well, okay!
Ted, what is this about?
It’s about this.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is that… Yes. The last Truffula seed. And you’re going to help me plant it right in the middle of town where everyone can see it.
I could just kiss you right now!
We don’t have time for that.
I don’t know, we have a little time. But, you know what, let’s just go. Let’s go. Forget about it.
Maniac! Hey!
Ah! Here it comes! I’m going for it.
Oh, hello!
Ted, big scary blimp coming.
Whoa!
You won’t get away with this, boy!
Bam!
Go faster, you idiot!
Yeah!
Step on it, Ted!
Whoa!
You’re fired!
Whoa! Ted, look out!
Nobody beats Aloysius O…
Ted…
This is not good. How’s it doing?
Whoa-ho-ho!
Loser!
Oh, really?
Oh, no. The seed!
Get that seed!
Hang on! Here we go!
Grammy!
Seriously, how cool is your grandma?
No!
Come on!
Yeah, that’s right.
There it is!
Hey! Watch the road, you meathead!
Ah!
Hey, ow, ow! Oh, come on!
What the… Get it unstuck, get it unstuck!
Bring it on, Teddy! You don’t have the guts!
Ted!
Grammy!
Whoo-hoo! Yes!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey! It’s Mr. O…
Take that, shorty!
Okay, we have to get this in the ground.
But where? There’s no dirt anywhere.
No, Grammy…
Hey, get out of there!
Ah!
Hey!
What?
See, what did I tell you? Easy. Huh?
Hey, they broke O’Hare’s head!
What do you think you’re doing, kid?
Um, I’m looking for a place to plant a tree.
A real one.
Why would we need a tree?
Exactly.
Oh, man.
Folks… The last thing you want around here is trees. They’re filthy! Spewing that sticky, nasty sap all over the place. They bring poisonous ants and stinging bees.
Hey!
Ouch. Think about the kids. And, I just thought, you know, they make leaves! You know that, right? Then these leaves, they just fall. They just fall wherever they want!
Come on! We know why you’re really against trees. Because they produce fresh air.
For free!
Oh! I am wounded! You have lied!
It is not a lie! It’s called photosynthesis.
Come on. She’s making that up! That’s a made-up word, people! Thneedville is perfect just the way it is. We don’t need trees! That boy has a seed. We need to stop him! Who’s with me? Come on!
O’Hare is right!
Seeds will ruin us all!
Stop it!
Last chance, kid. Hand it over! Where do you think you’re going?
Come on, let’s go!
Get in, get in!
Hey! Stop that maniac!
Excuse me, excuse me. Watch out!
Ted, you’re going to hit the wall!
Yeah. I know.
Wow. Did you see that? Who does this kid think he is, huh?
I am Ted Wiggins. And I speak for the trees. And the fact is, things aren’t perfect here in Thneedville. And they’re only going to get worse, unless we do something about it, unless we change our ways. And we can start by planting this!
Okay. Come on, now. Everything is fine. Right? I say we tell this kid what we think about that seed! People, come on!
You! Get out there right now and get these people on my side, or else you’re fired! Go on, tell them what you think.

Hello! It's Winter! This is my new fic that I wrote at work today. Enjoy!
Meeting His Friends
“Come on, Brigitte! It will be fun!”
It was Saturday night and Emmanuel was pleading with his girlfriend. He wanted to take her to a new dance club that had just opened up in the city. A few of his acquaintances had yet to meet her, so he was anxious to show her off. 
Brigitte sat on the couch, her legs resting on top of his. “I am not ready for that” 
“Why? You love dancing. You’re always moving around the house when music is playing” Emmanuel pointed out. 
“It’s too soon for us. Besides, I’m not ready for the looks we will receive” she admitted. “People will wonder why you’re with me” 
Emmanuel sighed loudly. “We’ve been an official couple for over a year! Cherie, I don’t care what others think about us. You’re the woman I love. Is this about our age difference? Because I don’t even give it a moment’s thought!” 
He cradled her tightly in his arms. “I want to do something we can both enjoy. Also, I know some people who are dying to meet you” 
She sat up, alarmed. “Who?? Do you tell people about me? About us?” 
A loud laugh escaped his mouth. “Of course I do! You’re my girlfriend and I’m proud of you. But surely my friends don’t think you’re real. No one has met my sexy blonde. Please. Do this for me” 
Brigitte lovingly cupped his chin. “Fine! I’ll go. Give me 20 minutes to get ready” 
“Thank you” 
His jaw dropped immediately when she entered the room. She had  changed clothes and styled her hair into loose curls. “Cherie, you look beautiful!” 
She twirled, giving him the opportunity to see her new - very short - dress from every angle. 
“I better tell my friends to back off. They’re going to be jealous when they see you” Emmanuel grinned proudly. 
Brigitte playfully smacked his chest. “Stop it. Your friends won’t want me! Perhaps their fathers might, but not them” 
He scoffed. “You don’t realize how beautiful and sexy you are, honey” 
“Maybe to you … but not to your friends. And that’s okay because I only care what you think” 
Regret washed over her as soon as they pulled into the club's parking lot. Judging by the lineup outside, the average age of the patrons appeared to be between 21 and 26 years old. 
Emmanuel, sensing her discomfort, squeezed her hand. “If you’re having second thoughts, we don’t have to go inside. I won’t be upset” he smiled. 
The last thing he wanted was for her to do something she wasn’t comfortable with. 
She shook her head. “No, it’s fine. Let’s do this. They have to meet me eventually. We can’t hide forever.” 
He quickly ran around to open the passenger car door for her. “You’re going to break a lot of hearts in there” 
Brigitte laughed lightly. “You owe me for this. Big time!”
“I’ll be sure to thank you all weekend”  
Helloooo Winter! ❤️
Bless Brigitte for freaking out a bit! But hey, the short dress... you go girl! 😏 🔥
Hahahah I can even imagine Emmanuel proudly showing off Brigitte to his friends and her being a bit shy! But then ending up being then dancing Queen she is on the dancefloor! 😎😈
Thank you so much, Winter! ❤️❤️❤️

February 2nd, 2024
I will talk about today and the dance, BUT FIRST: A CROOMF UPDATE! I was slightly hesitant about putting this in here because oomf from school might see this and make the connection between stuff that happened at school and who my croomf is, but I don't think she reads these, so I will be okay. Also, it should be an ick that I am embarrassed that I like him and I would never tell anyone I like him or show a picture to anyone, but that has not stopped me. Anyway, he is in the class at school that does the morning announcements and other fun little videos and news and such, and he and a guy who is in a club I am in were walking around at lunch yesterday interviewing people, and I volunteered to be interviewed! I answered like two questions about some changes that are happening to the school, but more importantly, croomf took the video on his phone, meaning he has a video of me on his phone! Actually, now that I think about it I don't think it was his phone because I believe he is an android user, and I think the phone they were using to record was an iPhone. But still, for once in my life I interacted with him outside of class! Also, later that day during history (Croomf is in both my history and yoga classes), we were doing a dumb little scavenger hunt to review for our test on WWII, and I talked to him several times. I know I always write about small interactions, but in my defense I just like having something to talk about and to like. I like liking people. Also the small moments are all that happens with us so like, what else would I write about? Anyway, I stole answers from him several times (in a friendly, silly-goofy way), and we talked multiple times about the questions from the scavenger hunt, so I feel like we have potential to become friends. My partner and I won the scavenger hunt, and we will get prizes on Monday (it will probably be like a piece of candy or something), but perhaps if I get the chance that could be a subject of conversation with us. I am grasping at straws here, I desperately want to be friends with him but I am too socially awkward. Anyway, today we were partners for a activity in yoga. A few times we have done headstands (see other post(s) for more stuff about that (I don't actually remember if I wrote about it in other posts, but I think I did)), and I have refused to do it every time because I get very anxious thinking about it. But today croomf tried to convince me to at least try to do it, and was very encouraging. I did not end up attempting to do it, but I appreciate him trying to talk me into it because (1) I like talking to me and (2) it kind of shows he cares on a certain level, like he wants me to participate and succeed. I know I'm delusional.
Anyway, today was very fun! I love my friends! We went to oomf's house to get ready, which I love getting ready with other people because it makes me feel like a teenager/teenage girl. I like feeling like a teenage girl. The dress I wore I got from goodwill, and had to sew new straps to it because they were very very short, but I am happy with it! This is the only dress I currently own, and the only dress I have owned in quite a while (like since early elementary school). The dance was lame because it was very empty and mostly underclassmen, but we still had fun! I love dancing and loud music and having a place to see people/socialize outside of school, so I love dances. And they always play Pitbull and Bruno Mars, which I love. We left the dance at ~8:45 (we got there like 7:30, it went from 7-10), and we went back to oomf's house and watched "The Parent Trap". Also, while we were in the parking lot waiting for oomf's mom to pick us up, we watched 9 people get into a 5 seater car, and it was quite funny. I had a very very good time! I love my friends!

Send   △ YOURS △  for receiver to sit in sender’s lap.
it’s not often you go to parties of this scale, but you wanted to have a night of fun with your friends. there’s nothing explicitly to celebrate, either. the all valley isn’t for another two months. kyler’s annoying, & a huge pain in your ass, but he certainly knows how to throw a hell of a house party. kyler said his parents on some business trip or something like that, so they could have the party there. you don’t really know or care. outside of the warring dojo fights that crop up, trainings, & the parties he throws, or just clowning on him in group chats ( particularly with robby, ciro, landon, nolan, cal, sulien, theo, scarlett, krista, talia, cosima & tory ), you rarely interact with him.
the party is in full swing. the music blaring across the speakers is way too fucking loud ( thank god for your earplugs & your ability to tune certain frequencies out… that comes in handy whenever kyler speaks, really ), & the amount of people here makes it feel like its hard to move or breathe. people are everywhere, practically wall-to-wall. half of the kids here are from encino, with their entitled, rich snootiness & designer outfits that look impractical for any sort of movement. your own car ( the black rolls royce ) is parked two blocks away from his house; you did not want to get trapped in by other cars, which was a very smart move on your play, given the amount of people in the room.
you’re completely sober, dancing along to the music with tory in the center of the living room. tory's only had half a can of some light beer, so she's fine. your hands are on her hips & her arms around your waist, looking at each other like you’re the only two people in the room. it feels natural, & it’s nice seeing her smile & enjoying herself. she certainly deserves a break & a chance to let loose like this.
your friends are scattered throughout the house ( cosima & scarlett near the beer keg, ciro in a corner brooding. you saw landon & jaime near the outdoor pool earlier, his hands on her hips as they swayed to a previously-played song ), but you keep looking over in robby’s general direction, just to keep an eye on your boyfriend & make sure he's doing okay. the party quickly turned insane. everything else doesn’t matter to you in the slightest — not kyler’s annoying voice, the booze that’s cheap & awful, or the jealous looks you & tory are getting from other teens. not even the karate feud. just robby & tory.
❝ i think i should know how to make love to something innocent, without leaving my fingerprints out. ❞ you sing along to the song blaring over the speakers, still looking at robby as you sing the lyrics, gaze turning slightly heated. tory laughs lightly when you card your fingers through her long blonde hair, immediately following up with the next lyric. ❝ now, l-o-v-e's just another word i never learned to pronounce. how do i say ❝ i’m sorry ❞, 'cause the word is never gonna come out? ❞ she sings. you laugh lightly, secretly knowing that that words aren’t exactly true coming from her. she would do anything for you two. it’s a sentiment you completely share with tory. you’d do anything for them. you can sense the love, trust & respect she has for you & robby, as easily as you breathe. she hasn’t said the words out loud to either you or robby ( yet ), but she’s so completely in love with you two. she’s never been more sure of anything in her entire life. what you, tory & robby have is real. it's more real than the relationship this version of you, tory & miguel had, which had crashed & burned.
you glance over tory's shoulder at robby, holding intense eye contact with him for a few seconds. tory's back is towards robby on the couch, so she can't see him, but she's aware he's there. then, you break eye contact with robby, leaning down to kiss tory heatedly, pulling her flush against your body, purely out of habit. she meets the kiss halfway with a little hum of surprise at your show of possessiveness, especially in public, immediately getting lost in the kiss. she kisses you back with equal fervor, which makes you overjoyed. ( there's a few wolf whistles, but you both ignore it, simply focusing on each other. ) her hands slide from your shoulders to the front of your shirt. your eyes slowly open, & you stare right at robby as you make out with your girlfriend, even deepening the kiss.
it’s clear she's enjoying the more possessive side of you, maybe a little too much, based on the way her eyes flutter shut & her airy sigh. you don’t even need to pull away from tory to extend your arm outwards, flipping off some random dude who tory saw glaring at you a few minutes ago. he’s no one important. he clearly wishes that it was him dancing with tory like you are. tory follows suit, but flips off a brunette that’s a handful of inches shorter than her, even with her heels. by the look on her face, the girl wishes she was in tory’s position, staring up at you.
too fucking bad. tory & robby are yours, & you're theirs.
neither of you pull away from the heated kiss until tory needs to get air back into her lungs, which takes a little longer than you were anticipating. she pulls back, panting heavily, & you look down at her lovingly. her eyes are glazed over, face dusted a light pink, & the tips of her ears are red. she's never been kissed that long or that intensely before in her life. that was a new one. you smirk at her, amusement flickering across your whole face. she recognizes that smirk immediately, & she practically melts against you. you hum softly, then lean down again to capture her lips again, which makes her sigh. more amusement spikes through your bloodstream. intoxicating, addicting & heady. it gives you a head rush.
you force yourself to pull away from tory before this kiss can become as intense. tory can’t seem to stop her head from spinning, & it’s a little like there are stars in her eyes. her brain seems to shut down for a few seconds, rebooting when you gently graze the tip of your thumb against her jaw.
❝ h-holy fuck. ❞ tory stutters. your smirk widens just a fraction, but it's enough to fan the flames that are racing throughout tory's body. you pull back to look at robby, just to gauge his reaction. tory follows suit, bright-eyed, blushing & very happy, running a hand down the front of your black t-shirt possessively, her black-painted fingertips. you pinch her hip in response, making her giggle. giggle. instantly, you raise an eyebrow, & tory flushes a dark red, giving you a look which would have been a lot more threatening if she wasn't clearly affected by what you'd just done. she cheerily tells you that she's going to grab some food from the kitchen, then talk with scarlett, krista & cosima. you nod, then she leaves you alone in the center of the living room, but she promises she'll be back next to you soon. that makes both human & eldritch parts of you very happy. you watch her leave, taking note of the way her hair sways across her lower back with every step she takes.
tory nichols is fucking ethereal. a goddess incarnate.
with tory moving away from you, you instinctively gravitate towards @taughtpain , moving to sit next to him on the couch, but you don't touch him. not yet. ❝ hi, my love. ❞ you greet happily, like you & tory hadn't just made out in front of him. you don't care what anyone else thinks. you never have. you'd sensed a few people taking a video of yours & tory's make out session ( undoubtedly, to post on social media some time within the next two seconds, if it's not posted already ), & you almost started laughing. tory was a little preoccupied with trying to get her brain to restart, so she hadn't realized what was going on. but you saw. let them stew in their jealousy.
the second you look at robby, it's like an internal switch in you flips. where you'd been more possessive with tory, you're... softer, with robby. even the look on your face changes to one robby should be familiar with by now. you lean forward, kissing his forehead ( & not his lips ), just to be a little shit. the smirk falls from your lips after a few seconds, but the amusement on your face holds fast. ignoring the eyes on you, you carefully swing a leg over robby's other hip, pulling yourself up onto robby's lap in a single, smooth motion. like you've done it a billion times before ( you have ). you technically don't even need to stabilize yourself for this by placing your hands on his shoulders; you just do it to have an excuse to touch him. you keep your gaze locked with his.
❝ i think tory really liked that. i know i did. ❞ you comment, having the audacity to bat your fucking eyelashes at your boyfriend. sitting on his lap like this... it's nice. like being with tory, being with robby like this just feels natural. an idea hits you suddenly. there's no visible change in your expression, but if there was a lightbulb hanging over your head, it would have lit up. you lean forward, lips grazing the shell of his ear teasingly. you whisper: ❝ please kiss me. i don’t care who’s watching. ❞ into his ear, then pull back to lock eyes with him. you're goddamn insatiable ( you knew this ), but you're so full of genuine love for your two partners.

I really liked the colorful and cute chairs on the outskirts of the shopping street. I used to take a break here after buying sweets with my friends. I always subconsciously chose a green chair to sit on. As I sit here, I can hear people shopping at the nearby supermarket and the sounds of children playing. It was a place that made me think, "Who's sitting today...?"
Tumblr media
No.12
There was a large square at the edge of town. Various events such as year-end countdowns and flea markets were held here. When I was in the lower grades of elementary school, I danced Mini Moni on the stage of a large truck during a countdown event. I didn't like the amazake that was handed out at that time, so I didn't drink it. And still no change I can't drink sweet sake. Even when there are no events, many children are playing in this place. An elementary school teacher once told me, "When you hear the sound of 'Yuyake Koyake' on the Panzamast disaster prevention radio, let's go home." In the past and now, children seemed to go home while the music was playing.
Tumblr media
No.13
There is a park next to the square. There was a forest ahead, and once a month, an event for children called "Let's play" was held. When I was in elementary school, I always went to play with my younger brother, who was four years younger than me, after receiving flyers for school events. We played rope and ate marshmallows and bread baked over an open fire. I couldn't wait to eat raw bread and my stomach hurt. There are two elementary schools in the area, and children from different schools and grades gather. Even though we didn't know each other's names, we became friends while playing the same game. "Let's play" is still going on. I made precious memories here.
Tumblr media
No.14
There was another big park next to the square, and it was very large without playground equipment. Many people call it by the nickname "Clover Park" instead of the official name (Matsuba Daini Neighborhood Park). I don't know where the name came from, but I have many memories of searching for clovers in this park. In spring, some people spread out leisure sheets and enjoy cherry blossom viewing under the cherry blossoms in full bloom. At the time of the summer festival, a tower was built in the center and many tents of stalls in the town were lined up around it. I was very moved to see so many people dancing Bon Odori. I also danced "Kashiwa Odori" and "Bahama Mama" at this place. As I was walking around taking pictures, I thought, "Everyone who lives in this town must have their own memories."
Tumblr media
No.15
I looked down on the city from the footbridge near the park. My friend's house was connected to a large square, and I often went back and forth. The nearest station of private railway is around the building. I wanted to see a nostalgic scenery, so I decided to go by car with my mother.
Tumblr media
No.16
The area around the station had changed so much that it lost all traces of the old days. It used to be a station, a shopping mall, and an apartment building, but now it is a modern shopping mall with izakayas, restaurants, and large bookstores under the elevated tracks. The regulating pond was named Aqua Terrace. Ten years have passed since my last visit, and it has become a well-maintained scenic spot. New private railway cars started operating, some looked familiar and some didn't. While watching the duck race leisurely, release the shutter so that the car you always ride is reflected. I parked my car and took a walk around the area with my mom. I made new memories and went home.
Tumblr media
No.17
Tumblr media
No.18
It was the first time I took a picture of the scenery from the window of the room. When I looked outside, I was always conscious of Mt. Tsukuba, which appears and disappears depending on the weather. Tsukuba is the mountain in Ibaraki Prefecture that appears in the lyrics of "Kashiwa Odori". Walking around the city, I honestly felt that Matsuba was my hometown. Home must be one. I thought so until now. But I have memories of other cities I've lived in, and I've come to think that maybe I can call them home. It doesn't have to be just one hometown. Not just where you were born, but where you grew up. By connecting memories and places, any piece of land becomes a home. When I thought so, I felt that the existence of my hometown was not something that tormented me, but something that was warm and important to me. The search for my hometown continues.
Ten years ago, I would have answered without hesitation, "Where is your hometown?" However, the more I moved, the more options I had. Chiba Prefecture, Saga Prefecture, Fukuoka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture, etc. Looking at the scenery of memories and thinking about my hometown again, I came to think that there is no need to narrow down the answer to this question that I could not answer well until now. And when I finally found the answer within myself, I wanted to know the hometowns of various people other than myself. I think that each person has their own answer, such as the land they were born in, the land they grew up in, or the places they have visited several times.
From here, please tell us about your hometown and memories of your hometown. Please write the place you can call "hometown", the reason why you can call it "hometown", the country name, the prefecture or town, your favorite shops and places, memories, etc. in the post.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
I will be moving for the 13th time at the end of this month. Even if it's not now, the day may come when you call your new hometown home. I think my hometown gives me the richness of the heart that makes me think so. It doesn't have to be just one hometown. By connecting various memories and places, any place becomes a home.
When I think so, I felt that the existence of my hometown is not something to suffer, but something warm and loving.
The town I'm walking through now is someone's hometown.

Ideal Day In Each of The Cities I Lived In
Not so much for the tourist, just self indulgence. 
Melbourne, Australia
Wake up outside, in a tent. Stinking hot and looking so ugly it makes your best friend laugh. Vibe to some music and make avocado toast with the plastic cutlery. The smell of last nights bonfire and the ocean harmonize with the summer air. Immediately change out of pajamas and into bikinis with something modest on top since you know you’ll want to stop for coffee on the way to the beach. Head down to the beach. Fish and chips for lunch, with a Nippies iced chocolate. Walk around the beach town, meet some friends. Go home, take a shower, clean clothes on. Have a few drinks outside, invite friends. Have a BBQ listen to music. Summer air stays hot all through the night while you dance, laugh, cry and eventually, fall asleep. 
Stockholm, Sweden 
Summer, also of course. Wake up early, take a work out class. Come home, shower, take your time getting ready. Make up, hair and a very very lovely and comfortable outfit. Dad made avocado on toast. Walk down Engelbreksgatan, get a coffee. Meet up with friends. Smoke a joint, walk around the park. Stop and have lunch at a cafe and meet with your best friend. Talk shit and plan the evening and what you’ll be doing for dinner. Great, it’s decided. We’ll pick up some wine for tonight. Cook a big dinner, sauces, salads. We’ll listen to music, talk shit, cry, laugh and gass each other up while getting ready. Take some pictures. Our friend is Djing at an outdoor club tonight. We’ll meet up with the group first for some drinks. Party is amazing, meet so many great people. Walk home by the water in Gamla Stan. Cross the bridge, my best friend and I successfully take off our make up before falling asleep, all as the sun stays happy in the sky. 
Los Angeles, California
This is where I feel divided:
1. Beach day with my love. Wake up whenever. Stop at Trader Joes. Pack some fruit, seltzers, a few beers, snacks. Get an Urth Cafe salad. Laguna beach. Lie in the sun, sleep in the sun. Listen to music. Play on the beach, kiss in the waves. Drive home, listen to music in the car, cry, laugh. Come home. Straight to the shower, we get in together. Fuck in the shower. Smoke a joint. Order some sushi, watch a sci-fi movie. Scratch my back, sex, fall asleep.
2. Wake up early. Work out class in the morning. Take time getting ready. You have amaaaaaaaazing clothes. From a press loan. Hair is freshly done. Jewelry amazing, shiny nails. Confidence level is on 1000 and you have gratitude in your heart. Listen to music loud in the morning. Have a dance, have a laugh, spoke to family and friends in the morning. Meet up with a friend for coffee, have a catch up. Hear about their life and catch up. Stop by the beach, go for a walk. Drive back to town, hang out at the house. Read a bit outside. Get a text, meet up with some friends at a comedy show. Smoke. Come back to my house have some drinks. Go to house party, talk to lots of interesting people, dance, laugh. Come home, Facetime my love. Take make up off, fall asleep. 
Denver, Colorado
Will report back in a year!

Man, this hasn’t left my head. Saturday I’m going to see streetlight manifesto. It reminds me of my old friend M. The whole grown up sometimes space happens happened. I met him at a peace stand where you’d sign your name on a board and just talk hippie shit. We added each other on MySpace. Started talking and we graduated to phones, you know when it was okay to talk before 9pm and text as much as you can. I used to go to universal weekly and he wanted to come. I’ll never forget that he took a 2 hour bus ride to get there, I had no idea that he didn’t have a car. He was so easygoing, I never felt uncomfortable with him. He had some problems with addiction, never violent or anything. He had gone to jail for a short period of time and I remember getting a call from the jail, which freaked me the fuck out at first since I didn’t even put myself around weed. He’s just needed someone to keep his spirits up to keep him straight. When he got out we went to the parks. I’ll never forget, we went on Dragons and he lost his shoes. They were his rehab shoes and he laughed so hard about it, the park gave him a voucher for cheap shoes, which were great on this hippie. I felt awful, he had a crush on me for a bit. He wrote this romantic color coded letter on MySpace based on the parks. He had such a charismatic, loving heart. I just didn’t feel that way at 16. He was always smiling. We did so much together. Some time passed with college. He was always there to listen to my day, breakups, my drunken nonsense, and I was always there to listen. After college I moved back home. He called me and asked me to come to his moms house, about 2 hours from here. I could hear in his voice that he wasn’t okay. My heart was in the bottom of my stomach. I got in my car as fast as I could. He was so strung out, just looking at him I knew what he did, it wasn’t good. I hugged him and we sat outside just talking, crying, laughing in between somewhere. We had a talk about what needed to happen next. His nephews and nieces were over and we played and he was smiling. Then I spoke with his mom. That hit me hard. She knew of me but we never met. She hugged me tight, thanking me for coming. We went for lunch, I dropped my dear friend off hoping that this plan was going to help him. I remember crying on thr way back. I was still very innocent to being around people places things that dealt with substance abuse. I was shaken up from seeing him down and out. I cried because that was one of the closest friends was hurting and the only way I knew to help him was to listen. I didn’t hear from him for a long time, but before MySpace was now Facebook I looked on his page and his music was streetlight manifesto. We loved them. Everytime they come on I think of him. Couple of years passed and I get a wedding invite from him. I was so ecstatic, he was sober, happy, in love. I remember after he had his dance with his wife and his mom, we had one to one of streetlights songs, down down to Mephistos cafe. It was so us and he was beaming of pure happiness and it looked good on him. I remember the hug his mom gave me as she whispered “thank you.” I wish that magic touched so many more. Fast forward, life passes you by and contacts get lost, I miss him. I hope that he’s sober, happy, fulfilled, in love, and I know he’d have a bunch of little ones. I will celebrate him and his journey when I go to the show. I always hope he’ll pop in so we can rekindle. Tough when you don’t do social media these days. I hope to see you there my friend, you owe me a dance.

Regarding the story that you’re about to see it actually happened.
Just take it from me.
But there’s more to this story than what’s on the page,
so please pay attention while I set the stage.
We open in Thneedville, a city they say
that was plastic and fake, and they liked it that way!
A town without nature, not one living tree.

Yes!
Oh, hi, Ted.
Oh, hey, Audrey. Hi.
Did your ball land in my backyard again?
What? No. A model airplane, this time.
Hey, do you want to see something cool? Come on.
Whoa!
Did you… Did you paint this?
Do you like it?
What? Are you kidding? This is amazing! What are those?
Those are trees. Real ones. They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk!
Wow! What does that even mean?
I know, right?
Oh, yeah.
What I want more than anything in the whole world is to see a real living tree growing in my backyard.
So if, say… I’m just thinking out loud here. If a guy somehow got you one…
I’d probably marry him on the spot. I bet that sounds crazy. Does that sound crazy?
No! Not crazy. Not crazy at all.
* * *
Ted, honey, don’t play with your food. You, either, Mom.
So, Mom, do you happen to know if there’s any place where I could get a real tree?
Ted, we already have a tree. It’s the latest model.
Yeah, but I mean a real one that grows out of the ground or whatever. You know, a real tree.
Really?
You would rather have some dirty, messy lump of wood that just sticks out of the ground? And it does what? I don’t even know what it does. What’s its purpose? Look at what we’ve got. It’s the Oak-amatic. The only tree with its own remote. Summer, autumn, winter, and disco!
Mom? Come on, Ted. Get into it.
Dance with the tree.
Oh, it hurts, Mom. Please stop.
So, anyway… Let’s just say I need a tree. Where would I go? What do I do?
Then you know what? You need to find the Once-ler.
The What?
Mom, it’s not really the time for one of your magical fables, okay?
That’s right, I forgot. I’m old and can’t even remember to put my teeth in.
Stand down. That’s not what I meant.
No, really, I forgot my teeth. Would you be a dear and go get them for me?
Sure, Mom.
Okay, here’s the deal. The Once-ler is the man who knows what happened to the trees. You want one, you need to find him.
The Once-ler? Mmm-hmm. Okay. Grammy, is this a real thing that we’re talking about now?
Oh, he’s real all right.
Well, where can I find him?
Far outside of town where the grass never grows and the wind smells slow and sour when it blows. And no birds ever sing, excepting old crows.
Quit doing that.
That’s the place where the Once-ler lives.
Wait, outside of town?
People used to say if you brought him 15 cents, a nail and the shell of a great, great, great grandfather snail, he would tell you everything.
* * *
Hmm.
Mr. O’Hare, what we’ve got for you is something that is going to take O’Hare Air to the next level.
Now, Mr. O’Hare, I know what you’re thinking. One, “I’ve gotten rich selling people air that’s” “fresher than the stinky stuff outside.” Two, and here is the important one, “How can I possibly make even more money?” We can tell you, sir! We can tell you.
Check out this commercial, huh?
Well, here goes another lame Saturday.
Dude, I don’t think so! Huh!
Hey!
Man!
Oh, yeah!
What!
Yeah!
O’Hare purified air. Freshness to go. Please breathe responsibly.
Ah?
Oh, my goodness. Yeah! Love it.
You got to be kidding me. You really think people are stupid enough to buy this?
Our research shows that if you put something in a plastic bottle, people will buy it.
Exactly. And…
And what’s more, when we build a new factory to make the plastic bottles, the air quality is just going to get worse.
Which will make people want our air even more, and drive sales where?
Through the roof!
So, in other words, the more smog in the sky, the more people will buy.
See, that’s why he’s the genius!
It even rhymes!
I’m aware it rhymes.
Coats. Big.
What do you two knuckleheads want? I’m in the middle of a meeting!
What?
Why is he leaving town? No one ever leaves town! See what he’s up to.
* * *
Whoa!
Huh?
Whoa! Whoa.
Oh, man.
Whoa!
All right.
Okay.
What the…
Whoa!
Who are you? Who are you and what are you doing here?
I’m Ted. I’m Ted. I can’t breathe. Are you the Once-ler? Oh, man.
Didn’t you read the signs? No one is supposed to come here. Get out of here and leave me alone! And don’t let the boot hit you on the way out.
The boot?
Hello!
Ow!
Listen! People say that if someone brings you this stuff that you will tell them about trees. No, no, no!
Trees?
Yeah, real ones. You know, that grow out of the ground? Hello?
Sorry, it’s just… Well, I didn’t think anyone still cared about trees.
Well, that’s me. The guy who still cares. I’m here. Hey! What?
Do you want to know about trees? About what happened to them? Why they’re all gone? It’s because of me.
Wait, what?
It’s because of me! And my invention, the Thneed. It was an amazing product that could do the job of a thousand.
All right. Sounds ridiculous, but I mean, that’s cool.
You’re darn right it was cool! It all started a long time ago.
Can we start not so long ago, maybe?
Do you want a tree?
Yes, yes.
Then it all started a long, long time ago. I was a young man leaving home…
Well, here I go, Mom. Off to change the world with my Thneed. I’m actually doing it!
Yes, but just remember, Oncie, if somehow your invention ends up a failure instead of a success, oh, it wouldn’t surprise me at all!
Nice wheels. Burn! Ow!
Yeah, “Burn!” But you will see, okay? I’m going to prove you all wrong. Come on, Melvin!
So, there I was at the very bottom. With nothing but a wagon, a mule, and a completely irrational sense of optimism.
I was searching the globe, obsessed with finding the perfect material for my Thneed. But I’d had absolutely no success. Until one day, I found paradise…
Oh! We’re going to be there soon, I’m sure. Whoa!
This is the most beautiful place, okay, I have ever seen.
Oh.
Ta-da!
Whoa!
Yeah.

Hey, guys! Come on, where is my back-up chorus?
What?
Ah-ha! Oh.
Ooh!
Hey, hey, wait. Wait a minute.
Excuse me?
Yeah, that’s awesome. Feeding junk food to forest animals? That’s great. But, uh, is there a musical number where you show me how to get a tree? Because I would love to hear that one.
Oh, yes. Right after the musical number about the kid who kept interrupting the story, and was never heard from again.
Right, got it. Proceed.
All right, here we go. About to make a Thneed, about to change the world.
Check it out, guys… Where did everybody go?
Little did I know that by chopping down that tree I had just summoned a mystical creature as old as time itself. The legendary, slightly annoying guardian of the forest. The Lorax.
Hey!
Whoo!
Did you chop down this tree?
Uh… No.
Who did it?
What’s that? I think he did it.
Leave! Vacate the premises! Take your ax and get out!
And who are you?
I’m the Lorax! Guardian of the forest. I speak for the trees. So you’re telling me, you just didn’t see me magically appear out of that stump? With all the lightning and thunder and stuff. You didn’t see any of that?
No, but that sounds amazing. Can I see some of that?
Uh, yeah, I could show you. But that’s not how it works.
Okay. Um… Didn’t really happen. Oh, I know what you want! I’ve got one of these for the cutest little guy I ever saw! Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy…
How dare you! Give me that! Mmm. I’m going to eat this, but I am highly offended by it.
What are you… Hey, Mustache! Will you stop that? What’s your deal, man?
Pull them right out Time for you to go, Beanpole!
Just going to put them right back in. We can do this all day.
Stop right there! Stop it! So you would hammer one of nature’s innocent creatures?
What? No! I would never hit this little guy. You, on the other hand, I would gladly pound you and your mustache into the ground!
Behold! The intruder and his violent ways. Shame on you. For shame!
All right, you know what? That’s it! You listen to me, you furry meatloaf. I’m going to chop down as many trees as I need. Okay? Newsflash! Not going anywhere! End of story.
Then you leave me no choice. If you’re not gone by the time the sun sets on this valley, all the forces of nature will be unleashed upon you and curse you until the end of your days! You have been warned. Thanks.
Yeah, okay.
You have been warned.
But I didn’t listen to his warning. And you won’t believe what happened that night.
What?
If you want to hear more, come back tomorrow.
Hey, wait, wait! Tomorrow?
Whoa!
Whoa-ho-ho.
Are you serious right now?
Ah! You live in the middle of nowhere!
It stinks out here. Don’t make me come back!
I guess you don’t really want to hear the rest of the story.
No, no.
I do. I really do. I want to hear the story. I just…
Nah! You don’t have what it takes. Goodbye.
Wait, wait! I have what it takes. It’s all right. It’s okay, I’ll come back. It’s no problem. See, here I am, leaving. Walking away now. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Mmm. Maybe. Just maybe.
* * *
What did you wish for, Audrey?
Well, I would love to tell you, but, sadly, according to the universal wish laws, I cannot I know what she wished for.
Was it, perhaps… This?
Ted, you didn’t.
Oh, no. I totally did. Happy birthday, Audrey.
Kiss him! Kiss him!
Ted. Ted. Tedster.
Huh!
You’re kissing the cereal again, hon. What?
I just… I like this cereal.
What one is this? Yeah!
Okay.
Well, I’ll make sure to buy extra next time for you.
All right, cool. Hey, I got to run. I got to go do a thing. So, I’ll see you guys.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You’re not going anywhere, young man. It’s Sunday. You know what that means? Family time, and we’re all playing board games!
But…
Hmm. Mmm?
Oh, man.
Mom, seriously, every turn?
Hey, back off! Ooh! No.
Okay! Family time is over. It is now personal time. I’ll be in my room.
Okay, dear. Have fun.
I knew I could break her. Go.
Huh?
Go see him!
Oh, yeah! You rule! Thank you, Grammy.
* * *
Whoa!
Hey! Ted, right?
Um, Mr. O’Hare?
So, I hear you have become interested in trees. What’s that all about?
Oh. Um… Where did you hear that?
Oh. Teddy, there’s not much that goes on in Thneedville that I don’t know about. Here’s the deal, I make a living selling fresh air to people. Trees? They make it for free. So, when I hear people talking about them, I consider it kind of a threat to my business.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
You listen to me, boy. Don’t go poking around in things you don’t understand or I’ll be your worst nightmare. I’m Frankenstein’s head on a spider’s body!
Yeah, um… Okay, my mom is expecting me. So, I’m just going to…
Of course, of course. Now, go back to your family game time. Grandma just finished her turn.
How did you know?
Please. I have eyes everywhere.
Huh!
You got a beautiful town here, Ted. Lots of fun stuff to occupy your short attention span. Why, I can’t think of any reason you would ever want to go outside of town again.
Even.
Okay! Good talk. Really good talk.
Oh, no. Look out! Hey, man? You know, you need to change that door bell.
Oh, you missed me.
What?
You’re already back. Clearly, you missed me a little. Right?
No, I didn’t. I’m just here to hear the end of the story.
Why are you so interested in trees anyway? Why aren’t you like other kids, break dancing and wearing bell-bottoms, and playing the Donkey Kongs?
Yeah, right, right. I don’t know.
Uh, I just thought it would be kind of cool to have one, you know?
Huh? It’s a girl, isn’t it?
What? No!
Really? Because when a guy does something stupid once, well, that’s because he’s a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, it’s usually to impress some girl.
Hey, she is not some girl! She’s a woman, in high school. And she loves trees. And I’m going to get her one.
Aw! How nice to see someone so undeterred by things like reality.
Thank you.
All right, but where did we leave off?
* * *
Now that’s a Thneed. Nothing unmanly about knitting. No, sir. Look at that…
Oh! Who taught you guys how to steal a bed?
Shh!
Okay, nice and easy.
Nice work, you guys. Couldn’t have done it without you.
You got to be kidding me. Can he swim? Of course he can’t swim! Hang on, Pipsqueak! I’m coming to get you!
Hey, you fishies! Stop that bed!
Whoo! Whoo!
Jump, jump! Come on, get up there. Come on. Go, go! A little bit more! A little bit more!
Now what?
Mmm-mmm.
Get up there. Okay, Pipsqueak, give me your hand. Come on, reach out for the Lorax. Where did you go?
Bar-ba-loots.
Oh, that’s bad.
Hey, Beanpole, wake up!
What’s happening? Where am I?
Hey! We got trouble, and it’s coming up fast!
Whoo! We’re in a river!
Whew!
Oh, no.
Just do something!
Help is on the way!
No, no!
Just a minute!
Oh, no! Wake up! Wake up! Yuck!
Clear!
Ah!  I was heading into the light, and you pulled me right back and here I am! You saved my life!
Yeah, I know. Well, no, it’s not that big a deal.
It is a big deal! Look, I almost went over that waterfall! Wait… On my bed. How did my bed get in the river?
Uh… About that… Actually… I put your bed in the water. I didn’t mean you any harm. I just wanted to calmly float you away. Look, everyone here needs the trees and you’re chopping them down! So, we’ve got a big problem.
All right, look. I hereby swear that I will never chop down another tree. I promise.
Thank you. But I’m going to keep my eye on you.
Good. Now, I’ve got a big day tomorrow so I’m going to get some sleep. Right after I find my bed.
* * *
Ow!
Okay, what are you… Question, what are they doing here? And follow up, if I may, what are you doing here?
Well, after the incident last night, we found one of your socks and came here to return it.
But when we got here, you were asleep.
What?
Ew!
Exactly. And sleeping is the body’s way of telling other people to go away.
I know, but you looked so cozy. And it was cold outside, and we just fell asleep. No harm done.
“No harm done”? “No harm done”? Okay.
Okay, I put my lips on those. Well, I used to, anyway.
Ew. Did you just… In my bowl!
Why do you have one of these? You don’t even have a mustache.
Okay, that’s it!
What? I thought we made a deal last night.
Yes, we did. And I said I wouldn’t chop down any more trees.
And I said I was going to keep an eye on you.
I’m starving. What’s for breakfast? Breakfast is overrated.
You know what? I got work to do. Yeah. I got to go into town and sell my Thneed.
You chopped down one of my trees to make that piece of garbage? Look at that…
“Garbage”? Oh, no. Oh, no! You do not get it. This is a revolutionary product that will change the world as we know it. It has a million uses! Look at this. It’s a swimsuit! Mud tracked all over your floor by uninvited guests? Well, the Thneed sure comes in handy for that! But wait, there’s more! Thanks to its all-natural microfibers, the Thneed is super-absorbent! It also works as a hat. Of course, you probably want to wring it out first.
Go ahead, knock yourself out. But nobody is going to buy that thing.
Good to know. Well, fortunately, you are not the target market, weirdo.
You’re bringing a guitar?
Oh, yeah. I got a little jingle. I’m gonna blow some minds, gonna sell some Thneeds! Yeah.

Aw.
My family was right. I quit!
Hey. Cool hat.
Oh, my gosh! I totally want one.
That thing makes me like you more.
Hey! Where’s your Thneed, did you sell it?
Hey. No, no. Didn’t sell it. Turns out, it’s ahead of its time, I guess.
Hey, you gave it your best shot. Right? What more can you do? Come on, take a seat, we’ll deal you in.

* * *
So, has he told you how to get a tree yet?
Actually, no. But I think he’s going to get to that part really soon.
Here we are.
What? I’ll just be a minute.
Oh, wow. Hey, Audrey!
Oh, hi, Ted! What’s up?
You know me, just cruising. Putting out the vibe. Just me and my thoughts.
Oh, is this the girl you’re always talking about?
Grandma! Stop making things up.
She’s even prettier than…
Okay, got to run! Bye.
Okay, Grammy, let’s get you home!
Yeah!
Whoa! I’m so sorry. So sorry. Did not wanna see that.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa-ho-ho!
Hey!
Hey, I’m back.
What have you got there? Yes!
Whoa!
Thank you, Ted. Now, picture this. Sun shining, a blue sky, a perfect day. It was all downhill from there.
Whoa!
What a dump.
Hey, Aunt Grizelda!
Hey, Chet, check this out! Go long!
No, Brett, that’s actually not a… Okay.
Go long! Go long!
I got it! I got it!
Got it!
He totally ran into that tree!
Ow!
Oncie, is that you?
Mom!
There he is! There’s my big, suddenly successful son! We always knew you would make it, Oncie. Right?
Hey! I love this guy!
But you always said I wouldn’t amount to anything, remember? Hush your mouth. I was just trying to motivate you!
I am really glad that you clarified that because it actually hurt my feelings for a really long time. Anyway, you’re all here, you all work for me, and that’s cool. So, let’s get to work.
Brett, Chet, set up the RV! Would you stop throwing that bear?
Time out. Back up. Stop. Don’t move an inch. Nobody’s moving in here. You got to go. Goodbye.
So, who invited the giant, furry peanut?
You calling me a peanut, huh? I’ll go right up your nose!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You wouldn’t hit a woman.
That’s a woman?
Okay. Everyone, cool it. Let’s not get off on the wrong foot here. Um, family, this is my friend…
Acquaintance.
Yeah, acquaintance. Very good acquaintance, the Lorax. He speaks for the trees.
That’s right. And on behalf of the trees, get out!
Will you just be nice! This is my family. And I’m going to need their help if my company is going to get bigger. Okay?
Bigger?
Yeah, this isn’t some rinky-dink operation anymore. I got plans. Big plans! A vision of a world filled with Thneeds. It’s going to be huge!
Which way does a tree fall?
Uh, down?
A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.
* * *
I mean, look at this. It’s amazing. I am so proud of me.
Oncie, we’ve got us a little problem.
Problem?
Mmm-hmm. See, we’re not making Thneeds fast enough.
Harvesting the tufts takes too long!
Well, what else can we do?
Well, and this just came to me, we could always start chopping down the trees.
What?
Now you’re thinking. That would speed things up!
But…
No “but” s, Oncie. You’re running a business now. You have to do what’s best for the company, and your momma.
Well, I guess it couldn’t hurt to chop down a few trees.
You’ve made me so proud, Oncie. Come here!
Hey! I love this guy!
No! No, no, no! Stop it! Please, stop.
Take that, you stupid tree!
Where do you think you’re going?
Excuse me, sir. I need to talk with your boss.
Oh, I’m sorry, but Mr. Once-ler’s not seeing anyone right now.
Yeah, well, he’ll see me. So… Hey, keep your paws off me!
Give me a reason, Shorty.
Hey, you broke your promise. You’re better than this. You gotta stop! This is bad!
Have a nice day!
Bad? I’m not bad, I’m the good guy here. He just doesn’t get it. Do you think I’m bad? Thank you! I mean, something good finally happens to me, and he just has to come along and rain on my parade. What’s his problem? See? Yeah, bad! Right.

So, how are things?
What are you doing here?
Happy yet? You fill that hole deep down inside you? Or do you still need more?
Look, if you’ve got a problem with what I’m doing, why haven’t you used your quote-unquote powers to stop me?
I told you, that’s not how it works.
Right, I forgot. You’re a fraud. I need you to get out. Now!
Why? Do I make you uncomfortable? Remind you of the promises you made? The man you used to be?
You know what? You can just shut your mustache. My conscience is clear. I have done nothing illegal. I have my rights, and I intend to keep on biggering and biggering, and turning more Truffula trees into Thneeds. And nothing is going to stop me!
Well, that’s it. The very last one. That may stop you.
Somebody sure made a bundle on that thing. I wonder what the next million dollar invention’s going to be.
Yeah, I wonder…
Son, you have let me down. Brett, you are now my favorite child.
Hey, look, I don’t want any trouble.
And you won’t get any. Not from them. Thanks to you and your hacking, and smogging and glupping, they can’t live here anymore. So, I’m sending them off. Hopefully, they’ll be able to find a better place out there somewhere.
Melvin? Melvin… Hey, Pipsqueak… Hey…
So, this is really all your fault. You destroyed everything.
Yes. And each day since the Lorax left, I’ve sat here regretting everything I’ve done, staring at that word, “unless,” and wondering what it meant. But now I’m thinking… Well, maybe you’re the reason the Lorax left that word there.
Me? Why would he leave that for me?
Because unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
The last Truffula seed. You need to plant it, Ted.
Yeah, but, nobody cares about trees anymore.
Then make them care. Plant the seed in the middle of town, where everyone can see. Change the way things are. I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become. That’s not just a seed, any more than you’re just a boy.
I won’t let you down.
I know.
* * *
Hey, Audrey! Audrey!
Ted?
What are you doing?
Meet me at my house.
Wait, but…
My house, okay?
Got to plant the seed. Okay, we’re going to need water. And uh, something to dig with.
Um, what do I have… Ted?
Mom, I’m busy, Mom.
Theodore Wiggins, get down here right now, and I am not kidding with you!
Ted, I would like you to meet Mr. O’Hare, the most powerful man in town.
There he is! Hello, Ted.
Uh…
Hi. Isn’t he clever, Mr. O’Hare? He knows his own name and everything.
You know what I would love right now, Mrs. Wiggins? A delicious cookie. Wonderful. Teddy and I’ll stay here and talk.
Sure, why don’t you go ahead and adopt him? I’m just kidding. That was a joke. I was just joking. I’ll get your cookie.
I know you have it, Ted. So, let’s put an end to this nonsense, shall we? Hand it over.
I’m sorry… I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Really? Well, then… I guess you wouldn’t mind us checking your room.
No, no, no!
Morty! McGurk! Find the seed!
No, you can’t go up there! Guys, this is ridiculous. Stop! Hey! No, you can’t come in my room!
Find it! Find it!
What is going on here?
This doesn’t involve you! Get back downstairs!
Excuse me, down there! I don’t care who you are, you little crazy baby-man! Get out of my house now. This is outrageous.
Fine. Sorry. Must have been a misunderstanding. We’ll be leaving now. And my apologies, Ted. You be safe.
Mind telling me what’s going on here?
The seed! Where is it?
Seed?
Where’s Grammy?
It’s alive! I remember you.
Ted, what…
Audrey!
Hey, did you want to… Well, okay!
Ted, what is this about?
It’s about this.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is that… Yes. The last Truffula seed. And you’re going to help me plant it right in the middle of town where everyone can see it.
I could just kiss you right now!
We don’t have time for that.
I don’t know, we have a little time. But, you know what, let’s just go. Let’s go. Forget about it.
Maniac! Hey!
Ah! Here it comes! I’m going for it.
Oh, hello!
Ted, big scary blimp coming.
Whoa!
You won’t get away with this, boy!
Bam!
Go faster, you idiot!
Yeah!
Step on it, Ted!
Whoa!
You’re fired!
Whoa! Ted, look out!
Nobody beats Aloysius O…
Ted…
This is not good. How’s it doing?
Whoa-ho-ho!
Loser!
Oh, really?
Oh, no. The seed!
Get that seed!
Hang on! Here we go!
Grammy!
Seriously, how cool is your grandma?
No!
Come on!
Yeah, that’s right.
There it is!
Hey! Watch the road, you meathead!
Ah!
Hey, ow, ow! Oh, come on!
What the… Get it unstuck, get it unstuck!
Bring it on, Teddy! You don’t have the guts!
Ted!
Grammy!
Whoo-hoo! Yes!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey! It’s Mr. O…
Take that, shorty!
Okay, we have to get this in the ground.
But where? There’s no dirt anywhere.
No, Grammy…
Hey, get out of there!
Ah!
Hey!
What?
See, what did I tell you? Easy. Huh?
Hey, they broke O’Hare’s head!
What do you think you’re doing, kid?
Um, I’m looking for a place to plant a tree.
A real one.
Why would we need a tree?
Exactly.
Oh, man.
Folks… The last thing you want around here is trees. They’re filthy! Spewing that sticky, nasty sap all over the place. They bring poisonous ants and stinging bees.
Hey!
Ouch. Think about the kids. And, I just thought, you know, they make leaves! You know that, right? Then these leaves, they just fall. They just fall wherever they want!
Come on! We know why you’re really against trees. Because they produce fresh air.
For free!
Oh! I am wounded! You have lied!
It is not a lie! It’s called photosynthesis.
Come on. She’s making that up! That’s a made-up word, people! Thneedville is perfect just the way it is. We don’t need trees! That boy has a seed. We need to stop him! Who’s with me? Come on!
O’Hare is right!
Seeds will ruin us all!
Stop it!
Last chance, kid. Hand it over! Where do you think you’re going?
Come on, let’s go!
Get in, get in!
Hey! Stop that maniac!
Excuse me, excuse me. Watch out!
Ted, you’re going to hit the wall!
Yeah. I know.
Wow. Did you see that? Who does this kid think he is, huh?
I am Ted Wiggins. And I speak for the trees. And the fact is, things aren’t perfect here in Thneedville. And they’re only going to get worse, unless we do something about it, unless we change our ways. And we can start by planting this!
Okay. Come on, now. Everything is fine. Right? I say we tell this kid what we think about that seed! People, come on!
You! Get out there right now and get these people on my side, or else you’re fired! Go on, tell them what you think.

Fright Night
Aaron Hotchner x Daughter!reader
Word Count: 1,577
Requested By: Anonymous
can you do aaron hotchner x teen! daughter! reader where it’s like halloween and she gets kidnapped by an unsub
Warnings: Kidnapping, small mentions of violence and injury (nothing graphic)
A/N: Reader is about 15. Takes place around season 11 (this in no way follows the cm timeline but...) here’s a link to how I imagine the costumes 
Tumblr media
Halloween was one of you and your friend’s favorite holiday. You always did group costumes and this year, you went all out. Your group decided on dressing as the clowns from The Purge. You all bought everything you needed weeks in advance and made sure everyone had a different colored mask so it was perfect. 
You weren’t planning on trick-or-treating since most people in your school didn’t do that. Most people always went to the school’s Fright Night. It was where a bunch of students and teachers came to the school on Halloween night to watch horror films and hang out. 
Hotch was glad to hear that you’d rather stay in at a school sponsored party than out with friends or at some stranger’s house party. He knew the odds and knew you’d be much safer there than anywhere else. He would much rather prefer that you would stay home with him and Jack but he didn’t want to hinder your social life. 
~~~~~
Halloween rolled around and it was almost time for you to leave for Fright Night. You got dressed and grabbed the mask and your phone before heading downstairs to where your dad and little brother were. Jack had decided he was ‘too cool’ to go out tonight so he and your dad were staying in and handing out candy while watching movies.
“Remember what time you have to be home by?” Hotch asked you. 
“Eleven otherwise you’d send the team out to look for me,” you said. 
“Just be safe tonight okay? Text me if anything happens. Don’t go off with strangers and don’t take anything,” he rambled. You knew he was just trying to make sure you were safe. 
“Don’t worry I won’t do anything stupid dad,” you walked over to where he was sitting at the kitchen table and gave him a hug, “I’ll be fine. I’m at school and there are teachers who are chaperoning.”
“I know,” he said, kissing the side of your head, “I still worry but I trust you.”
~~~~~
You met up with your friends outside the school and you all went inside. For the first half of the event, the gym was set up like a dance. There were colored lights and loud music playing with drinks and food off to the side. You all got drinks and some snacks before going to the dance floor.
After a while of dancing and hanging out, you got tired and went to sit down at a table. You left your friends on the floor and checked your phone. You responded to a text from your dad before looking back up in the direction of your friends. You had lost track of them as a group but you spotted your friend Ashley coming up to you. 
When she reached you, she had to yell over the music so you could hear, “Do you want to get out of here? The food here sucks and I’m craving some McDonald’s.”
“As long as I’m home by eleven otherwise my dad will kill me,” you said as you stood up. You followed Ashley to the parking lot and to her car. She waited until you were buckled up before she locked the car doors and drove off. After a few minutes you passed by the restaurant, “I think you passed it Ash,” you said jokingly. 
“Oh,” she said, not taking her eyes off of the road.
“Are you going to turn around?” you asked, “Cause if we’re going to the one across town, I’m going to be home late and my dad will kill me.”
“He won’t be the only one,” she mumbled.
“Ash quit joking around, I'm serious,” you were starting to get annoyed with her. In the short time you knew Ashley, she had always in one way or another gotten on your nerves. She only just moved here so you invited her to join the group but now you were starting to regret it, “either turn around or let me out.”
“God just shut up Y/n,” she spat, “Do you ever stop talking? Especially about yourself.”
“What do you mean?” you asked her. 
She laughed darkly before turning to face you, “You act so perfect all the time Y/n but you’re not. You’re just a broken little girl and I’ll make sure everyone sees it.”
~~~~~
Hotch knew you weren’t one to break curfew so when it was ten minutes past eleven, he knew something was up. He called you and sent you several texts and you didn’t answer, something you never did. While he had no proof you were missing, he trusted his gut and called in the team. 
The team arrived at the school and found your friends and questioned them. Garcia stayed at the BAU with Hotch since he couldn’t work on his own daughter’s case. 
“Uh sir,” Garcia said after Hotch instructed her to track your phone, “Y/n’s phone last pinged near 56th street.”
“What was she doing over there?” Hotch asked, looking at the monitor to see if anything looked familiar. 
“I don’t know but let me check to see if any of her friends were with her,” she said as she went to work. 
All of a sudden, Hotch’s phone rang and it was Tara, who was at the school, so he answered, “Did you guys find anything yet?”
“Well Y/n’s friends say they were all together except for when she went to sit down after dancing for a while. They said their other friend Ashley disappeared shortly after that but figured the two of them went off together,” Tara explained. 
“You’re probably right. I’ll check with Garcia,” Hotch said. He turned to Garcia, “Can you check if Ashley Robert’s phone was with Y/n’s?”
Garcia checked and nodded, “Both of the girl’s phones last pinged in the same location.”
Hotch sighed before going back to Tara on the phone, “Both of their phones pinged together. We should-” he was cut off by JJ’s voice. 
“Hotch someone else said they spotted both Y/n and Ashley leaving in Ashley’s car. It’s a silver Ford with a license plate bgc5940. I think Ashley is the unsub.”
“Garcia?” Hotch knew Garcia could hear the conversation and hoped she was already trying to track it. 
“I found it sir. Her car is outside an old abandoned apartment complex on Smith Street,” Garcia said. 
“Alright Garcia, send the address to everyone and I’ll meet you guys there.”
~~~~~
The team arrived before Hotch did and they didn’t plan on waiting for him. They all cared about you and if they didn’t act now and didn’t want to risk you getting hurt. 
Spencer and Rossi went in first while JJ and Tara stayed back as backup. The two men went in and searched the floors until they heard footsteps from a room on the third floor. They heard your voice pleading with Ashley to stop and then another voice, Ashley’s, yelling. 
“What? Are you crying cause your daddy who’s a hero isn’t here to save you. I’ve only been here since the summer but I know what happened with your mom. She’s dead because he didn’t get there in time. 
“Seriously Ashley just stop it,” you cried, “Please I haven’t done anything to you.”
“Are you seriously that stupid?” she asked, bringing the knife she had been using on you, “You’ve ruined my chances of doing anything here. Everyone is always like ‘you must love being friends with Y/n’ or ‘aren’t you Y/n’s friend?’ and I’m tired of it. If I kill you, then everyone will forget and I can take your place.”
“You want to kill me because you’re jealous? I think you’re the stupid one,” you spat. She quickly turned to face you and stormed over to you, cutting a deep gash over the smaller ones she made on your arm, making you cry out in pain. 
Spencer and Rossi took this as their cue to enter the room, “Ashley drop the knife,” Rossi said. 
Ashley shook her head before she pulled you up from the floor and held you close to her, the knife pressing against your throat, “I can’t. I don’t want to.”
Spencer took a step forward, lowering his gun, “Ashley, if you kill Y/n, that’s all you’ll be known for. The girl who killed Y/n Hotchner. Do you really think people will want to be your friend or want to be around you? Let her go and you’ll be known as the person who saved her?” he tried to bargain with her and you could sense it was working. Her grip on you loosened and the knife soon hit the floor. 
You immediately ran from her and practically threw yourself at Spencer who wrapped his arms around you tightly, “You’re okay Y/n. You’re safe,” he whispered. He moved his hand up to your head while Rossi made sure Ashley was in handcuffs. 
“Is my dad here? I want my dad,” you asked quietly. Spencer nodded and moved his arms off of you. 
“Come on,” he held his hand out for you to take. Once you took it, Spencer helped you walk down the staircase to the first floor and out the doors where the rest of the team was. You spotted your dad and let go of Spencer’s hand and ran to Hotch. 
Hotch pulled you in tightly, making sure to be careful of your injuries.

Dancing Days - Edward Cullen x Reader Smut
Anonymous said: 19&24 on edward smut? love ur writing!
A/N: Thank you so much :) also I’m so happy everyone is h*rny for Eddy. I decided I want to explore more period times with Edward, changing his persona in a certain decade, but still ultimately being in the same universe as cannon. This will play into the readers character a tad bit.
WARNINGS: 18+ CONTENT, SWEARING, S*X, VAMPIRES, ORAL SEX (MALE RECIEVING), VIRGIN! EDWARD, NON VIRGIN READER, GENDER NEUTURAL READER, MENTIONS OF WAR AND DEATH. 
19: “Fuck me like you want people to know”.
24. “Thing is, I’m a virgin”. 
_______________________________________
I brushed my hair into its usual part, making sure I looked flawless. The year was 1976, I was a senior in Highschool. It was a wonderful time to be a teenager, no longer afraid that my friends would die in Vietnam. Even in my dinky little Washington town, the culture was becoming our own. 
The Led Zeppelin record playing on my record player stopped suddenly, alerting me that I was no longer alone in my room. I turned, my expression soft as I saw my boyfriend, Edward.
“Whats up with you and this album? Everytime I come in, its always House of Th Holy on repeat.” I rolled my eyes, lifted the record in question off of the tray, and put it back snuggly in its case. 
“I can’t help it, Ed. Robert just speaks to me. I’m sure you’re like that with Louis Armstrong.” I waved my hand, walking back to my mirror to finish getting ready. 
“Maybe, but the music you listen to it’s...” Edward paused for a moment, sitting on my bed. “It’s suggestive, Y/N.” I turned to him, my eyebrow raised.
“Suggestive? What’s that supposed to mean?” I placed my hands on my hips, and waited for him to explain.
“Well, for one that one song says ‘Sipping booze’, I quite think that is blatant alcohol reference.” I looked at him, dumbfounded. Then, I started to laugh, and I walked over to him. Instinctually, he pushed his head into my chest, enjoying the comfort it brought him. 
“I love you, but god are we from two different Mars.” He chuckled, sending a rumble through my chest.
At school, I was an average kid. Fair grades, many friends, many ex friends. When Edward was paired up with me in math, I got through his cold, stone skin. At first, he was annoyed when I would fuck off, leaving him to do the work himself. Understandable, and once I realized how rude I was, I stopped. I talked to him, prodded him truthfully. I would ask him once we started dating if he had noticed me previously, because I had never noticed him. 
“Yes, I noticed that you were the only one who didn’t acknowledge me. Ironic I guess.” 
A year into our relationship, I would never let him go unnoticed. We walked the halls, hand in hand. Our outlooks were so different when it came to life. He was modest, I was free spirited. Edward was different from my boyfriends previously, I didn’t want to fuck things up, and I refused to even risk it. 
School went slowly that day, possibly because my head was focused on what I would ask Edward, my boyfriend of one year, about sex. About us and sex. 
I hadn’t told him that I wasn’t a virgin, I was worried he would only want a virgin girl, after all they can never look at you disappointed and say “I’ve had better.” A definite plus. Many a nights I tried to imagine him, moaning completely under my control. I wanted him, but I didn’t know if he wanted me. Surely in 50 years he had found a good fuck. I worried that he would be into someone else, forever tied to a vampiress. 
The end of the school day couldn’t have come sooner, my anxiety rising as I got into Edwards car, starting a long silent car ride. I tried to keep my mind off of it, an attempt to avoid the conversation until we were at my house. I kept my mind busy with the lush scenery outside of the passenger side window. 
“So... I know you want to ask me, and I know the answers to what I would ask you.” He said blatantly, putting the car in park outside my front lawn. 
“I don’t wanna talk out here Ed, lets go inside.” I swung my bag onto my shoulder. Thats the thing with Edward, I never have to say anything, just as long as I think it. 
My house was empty, making it easy for Edward to follow me upstairs to my room. I shut my door behind us, then turned to him. Unsure of what to say, I breathed in deeply.
“How long have you known that I wasn’t...you know?” He smiled, sitting on my plush navy sheets. 
“Y/N, I knew before I met you what I was getting into. Your ex had a lot of thoughts about that one night where you guys-” 
“Oh my god okay ew.” A blush rose upon my face, and I saw Edward laugh as he watched my body fill with embarassment. “Well why didn’t you say something?” I asked.
“I figured if it needed to be brought up, it would be. You and I aren’t exactly a physical couple so I didn’t worry too much.” I walked over to my bed, taking a seat next to him.
“I see...I mean it wouldn’t be a big deal for me so if you want to...” I bit my lip at him, his gaze turned to the other direction.
“Thing is, I’m a virgin.” My expression went from a seductive look, to a puzzled one. I wondered if I had heard him correctly. “I’m old school, Y/N. It wasn’t like how it is now when I was human. People didn’t just have sex in highschool, unless they were married because the man was off to war. So, it hasn’t been on the menu for me. You’re the first girl I’ve dated in fifty years, you know. And no, there was no vampiress or anything.” I smiled.
“Well, I don’t wanna scare you or push it or anything. It’s just you know-” 
“You want to touch me, to be touched by me.” his eyes trailed back to mine, looking deep into my soul.
“Yes, I want you, Edward.” I pressed my lips to his, pulling away jut as it got intense. I could feel his disappointment. “I want to...but I can’t let you down. Tomorrow night. I’ll call you and we can talk about everything we want out of it, I’ll give you a fucking fairytale, my love” I chuckled.
I called him that night as I had said I would. We talked about my first time, and everything I liked, followed by what he had seen on video, what he wanted to try, and his fears.
“I don’t want to kill you, darling.” He said.
“Then don’t. I won’t let you.” He laughed at me, enjoying my lack of seriousness.
The next night rolled along with a quick pace. I looked at the clock and saw that it was time for me to start getting ready. 
I made myself look simple, a small bit of makeup and hair product, but otherwise just a tank top and jeans. Sometimes, dating an old fashioned guy was a pain in the ass. Always complaining about suggestive behavior. But other times, my shoulders counted as being half nude.
“You look stunning, as per usual.” Edward said, stepping into my room. He was tense and barely moved. “I don’t know what to do..what usually happens with it if I’m not the one doing everything.”
If he had any blood flow, he would have been blushing right about then.
“We don’t have to do anything you know. We can just lay down and watch a movie if you want to, I just want to make you happy, Edward.” I walked over to him and put a strand of his messy auburn hair behind his ear. Without hesitation, he pressed his forehead to mine.
“I want to, thats the part that’s been eating me away ever since I met you. I want to make you feel good, I just don’t know if I’ll lose it and-“ I cut him off with a kiss.
“Even if you break my pelvis into pieces, I’ll still be happy. I’m always happy when I’m with you.” we both smiled, and suddenly the thick tension that once filled the room vanished. “I’ll take care of you tonight, just as long as you’re doing it for you. I just need to know you’re doing this for you, and you need to be sure you wont roll over afterwards and hate me.” I said, my hand clasped in his marble one.
“I want you, Y/N. I have no doubts that I’ll want you afterwards, too.”
I pushed his head down, level to my own. Our kiss was deep, filled with a years worth of hunger. My hands tugged on his hair, making him whimper. Suddenly, I felt my feet lift off the ground as Edward carried me to my bed. With a soft thump, the plush sheets surrounded my body. It was a contrast of warmth on my back, and Edwards cool body on my top.
His hands were balled into fists, clutching my duvet as if his life depended on it. I pulled away, panting for air.
“Sorry, I forget you need air.” He smirked. I rolled my eyes in response.
“Well, its a shame you don’t. Because I intend on taking your breath away.” we both made small laughs at my remark.
“What now?” He looked at me for guidance.
“Get on your back.” I said.
We switched positions, he was now on the bottom. My legs straddled his torso, I sight he visably enjoyed. I slithered my hands up to his head, cupping his face as I kissed him again. My left hand left its post, reaching down to the buttons on his shirt.
I paused, looking up at him once I got to the last button.
“Does it...work like normal or...” He threw his head back and laughed.
“It doesn’t have spikes, I can assure you its just like a humans. But Emmet did tell me to pull out so...I’m kind of worried about the implications of that but-“ I leaned down to shut him up with a kiss.
His hands were still at his side, resting on the bed. I picked up his wrists, and placed them on the side of my thighs. He squeezed them lightly.
My hands roamed over his bare chest, cool to the touch. I lached my lips onto his neck, causing his back to arch below me. I could feel his excitement beneath me, it gave me a big self esteem boost. His hand reached along my waist, tugging at my shirt. His eyes lit up at the sight of my bare chest. He reached for me but I pulled away to slide down onto my knees.
He looked confused, like I had left him high and dry.
“Sit on the edge.” I said softly, my knees burning slightly due to the rough carpet underneath them.
He rid himself of the unbottoned shirt, slidding over to me once finished. My hands slowly stroked his thighs, he was desperate for some type of touch.
I smiled, tugging on his belt until it came undone. He stayed silent, looking at me like I was the only thing in the world. I unbottoned the trousers, tugging on them. He kicked them off and was left in his breifs.
“Is it okay if I..” I looked up at him and he nodded frantically. I palmed him over his underwear, feeling how hard he had gotten from kissing. My fingers latched onto the waist band, pulling them down to reveal a pale yet pink cock. It wasn’t too big, but deffinitley satisfactory. I ran my finger over the tip, earning a small groan from the vampire. My eyes trailed up to him, so I could see him when I took him in my mouth.
He let out a breathy moan, eyes focused on my mouth. His lips were parted ever so slightly. I bobbed my head, and grotesquely sexual sounds arose from my throat. I felt Edward move a strant of hair out of my face, he looked at me like I was a god.
“Fuck..Y/N if you keep doing that there wont be anything for you, dear” He said in a breathy moan. I pulled back, my mouth feeling sore and tired. “Do you still want to?” He asked, grasping his hands on my waist.
“Yes, I fucking need you.” I threw off my jeans, I would worry about finding them later, I needed him. He layed back down, propping his head up on my pillows. Our lips collided in another kiss as I leveled myself with him.
“Are you sure?” I ask him, stroking his hard member.
“I’m sure.” He pecked my lips again as I got ontop of his lean figure. I spat in my hand, lubing up my needy hole.
“How do you want me to do this? I mean like slow? What do-“ He said with genuine worry.
“Fuck me like you want people to know” I whispered, “ Fuck me like you want the entire neighborhood to know that I’m yours and yours only.”
“I can make that happen, love.” He flipped me over, now being back to where we first started. He lined up his cock with my hole, running it around the tight area. I put my fingers in his hair, making a slight tug as he pushed into my body.
Pleasure filled my body as he filled me up, his cock stretched my insides in the right ways. Without pausing, he started to push his hips into mine, making sure not to hurt me.
He reached down to suck on my neck, adding to the pornagraphic moans in the room. My hands travled to his back, scratching my nails down the cold stone like skin. His moans echoed in my ear.
“Y/N, I can’t be on top I’m going to crush you” I laughed at him, tapping his side so he fell onto the bed. I swung my legs over him, sitting on his perfect cock.
“Perfect, fucking amazing.” He said as I steady myself onto him. His face was in a euphoric expression, the most relaxed I had ever seen him.
I began to rock my hips, sliding him in and out of me. His hands grabbed onto my hips, guiding me. Everything was a euphoric experience. My gut filled with that wonderful sensation.
“Edward I’m gonna cum, oh my god” I moaned out, picking up my pace.
Suddenly, the world went still. My eyes went black and I saw stars as my orgasm washed over me. My moans echoed in the room as my body twitched. A few thrusts up into my body and Edward pulled out of me, rubbing his cum out onto his hand.
I layed there panting while he sped to the bathroom, and came back with a clean cloth, wiping down my body. He put the cloth down, pulling up his underwear and handing me mine. I slipped the fabric on, slipping under the covers.
“Get in here, I wanna kiss you”
He laughed, obeying and slipping beside me. Our lips reunited in a soft clash.
“I love you so much, dear.”
