You know what feeling the Red White and Royal Blue movie is helping me finally put into words?? The joy that comes from ACTUALLY getting to relive a piece of work I love.
By that I don’t mean that it’s exactly the same. It’s actually quite different on many levels. But that’s something that I actually LOVE about it. It’s given me a chance to be surprised by and relive the feeling the book gave me in a new and completely wonderful way. There is no one true perfect, right way to tell any one story, and they did a great job of telling this one in a new and just as enjoyable way.
Love you entire crew and staff and cast and directors and writers of RWRB movie, you’ve captured my heart again.

Tumblr media
The past few months have been hard, to say the least. The day of Caroline’s wedding was like a bomb had been dropped on your family. Logan wanted to sell to GoJo, and no matter what your siblings did, they couldn't change his mind. They felt betrayed, he felt discredited, and the whole thing ended up in flames. After that night, you didn’t have the energy to reach out to your siblings. They continued messaging you, half accusing, half blaming, you left their messages unopened. Except for Kendall, who you responded to in order to gain more information on his hospital visit. When you were satisfied he was okay, he got the silent treatment as well.
Worse than the bomb was the fallout. You left Italy alone the day after the wedding. Logan stayed in Italy for a while, his loyal executives staying by his side. You aren’t sure what your siblings ended up doing, you only know that Tom flew back alone as well. When you get back to New York, you throw yourself into your work. You get to the office at 6 in the morning, you leave at 10 at night, you never take lunch breaks. It’s the only thing that keeps your mind occupied. You barely sleep, you barely eat, you barely speak.
The rhythm finally ends with Lukas. Everything always ends with Lukas. He knows you’ve been struggling, knows how things ended with your family. Every night he begs you to take a break, get some sleep, and relax for the first time in over a month. You try to convince him you’re okay, that you're just busy with the deal and coping the best you can. He doesn’t believe you. Lukas keeps asking every night when you call. He offers to pay for a spa visit, a vacation, anything to get you out of the office. Like the money is what’s stopping you.
You play a game of cat and mouse, him chasing you and you denying him. It goes on for weeks. Until he doesn’t give you a choice.
“You’re coming to Sweden tomorrow.”
“Lukas… It’s 12 o’clock at night.”
“I’m sending my jet, your flight is 7am.” You roll over in your bed, moving from your back to prop yourself up on your elbows, eyebrows raising as he speaks. You were exhausted, just getting home from work an hour ago and getting into bed as quickly as possible, even if you couldn’t sleep. 
“I have to work tomorrow, I can’t just ditch everything for a vacation.”
“They’ll survive without you for a few days.” He sighs, you hear fabric rustle like he’s leaned back onto where he’s sitting.
“I have so much to do…”
“You’re coming.”
“I can’t just go to Sweden on a whim!” Your voice isn’t really upset, just surprised and a little frustrated at the intrusion.
“It’s not on a whim, I planned it for you.”
“You’re fucking insane.” 
“I miss you. I want to see my girlfriend.”
You pause then, letting out a low sigh. Lukas always knows what to say to you, always knows how to get you to do what he wants. 
“I miss you too.”
“I knew it.” You can hear the smirk in his voice when he speaks now. He knows he’s won.
“I tell you that every day, it’s not a new revelation.” Lukas laughs quietly on the other line, the sound bringing a shy smile to your face. “I don’t think this is a good idea though. If we went public without me telling my family first…”
“Then we won’t. We’ll be careful and stay private until it’s a good time. Nobody will know unless you want them to, I promise.”
“Okay. Okay, fine. I’ll come to see you. But you know I can’t stay long.”
“We’ll see.” He half-sings, and you’re glad he can’t see the grin on your face when you try to sound annoyed.
“Lukas!” 
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
He hangs up before you can change your mind, leaving you staring at the bright screen of your phone in your otherwise dark apartment, an embarrassingly large grin on your face. You try falling back asleep that night, but don’t manage to get more than an hour or two before waking back up. It’s not the worst night of sleep you’ve gotten, and you needed to pack anyway. Sending a quick message to your assistant, you quickly cancel your plans for the week. You know you said a few days, but you also know Lukas can persuade you like no one else. So, at 7am sharp you find yourself seated on an unfamiliar jet, making excuses to try and influence yourself enough to leave, call off the trip and head back to the office. It doesn’t work. 
Tumblr media
Lukas’s Swedish house is everything you thought it would be. Just outside of Stockholm, the building was modern and luxurious, with a long driveway and tall fir trees keeping the property private. The mansion was made of stone and dark woods with huge glass windows. It was simple and quiet, while simultaneously being incredibly opulent. It’s so Lukas it almost made you laugh. You took in the landscape, peering out the window of the SUV you were sitting in. Lukas insisted on sending you his personal driver, not trusting anyone else to bring you here safely. 
When the car finally rolled to a stop and you exited the vehicle only a few seconds passed before Lukas was running out the front door of his mansion towards you. He was shoeless, wearing a pair of plain sweatpants and a shirt, with his hair messy and arms open. The goofy look on his face and the gawky way he rushed towards you made you giggle, your lips parting into a beaming smile. When he reached you, his arms tucked under your armpits and scooped you up, your feet lifting from the ground as he held you close. You wrapped your arms around his neck, tucking your head into the top of his chest.
“You’re here!” His voice was slightly muffled from the way he had his lips pressed into your hair, but his tone was happy, maybe the happiest you’d ever heard him.
“I am. I finally made it.” Lukas set you back down onto your feet, dropping his arms around your waist before pulling you in for a soft kiss. You could feel his smile on your lips before you separated.
“Let me show you around.” He intertwines your fingers, presses his arm against yours playfully, and begins leading you into the house.
The inside is contemporary, filled with the highest end furniture and appliances that money can buy. It's minimalist and chic, and looks a little more lived in than Lukas’s Swiss villa. You recognize a few areas from the background of Facetimes and photos Lukas has sent you. The bookshelves in his office, the painting in his dining room, the mirrors in his home gym. It feels strangely nostalgic to see the spaces in real life, strangely like home. When you reach his bedroom you’re a bit surprised to see your luggage sitting there. The surprise quickly fades with the realization that he trusted you enough to share a space with you. Self-pride takes over your emotions, a small smile finding its way to your face.
“So, what do you have planned for me?” You release Lukas’s hand to walk over to his bed, sitting gracefully on the edge of it to look up at him.
“You’ll see.” He moves to stand closer to you, your knees brushing the front of his legs as he reaches out to run a hand through your hair.
“You really won’t tell me?”
“It’s a surprise!” His hand moves to cup your chin, tilting your head up even further to look him in the eyes. “You’ll like it, I promise.”
“I am not a fan of surprises.” You raise your eyebrows at Lukas, making him snicker at the pouty look gracing your face.
“You’ll like this one.” 
“You don’t know that.”
“I know you.”
That shuts you up. You can’t argue with the statement, you both know it’s the truth. Lukas knows more about you than your own family. He’s seen you at your most vulnerable and stayed, a feat nobody else in the world can claim. The months you have spent with him feel like centuries, and you don’t think you can ever go back to how your life was without him.
The rest of that day consisted mainly of lounging around, getting used to time difference and catching up on the few things you hadn’t shared with your boyfriend already. You watched a movie on his couch, casually resting your head in his lap while he worked on his phone. Lukas wasn’t the biggest cuddler, but he did enjoy your small displays of affection. Dinner was spaghetti and wine, prepared by his personal chef since neither of you were great cooks. As the sun set, the pair of you found yourself outdoors, in Lukas’s hot tub. 
Your hair pulled back so it wouldn’t get wet, his shirt off exposing a light scattering of blonde hair on his chest. You sat next to him in the water, your head laying lightly on his shoulder while your feet stretched out in front of you, slightly floating. For the first time in months, your brain was quiet and your surroundings were calm.
“Have you ever used your pool before?” Your head moves from its resting point you look up at Lukas, your brows furrowed in question.  
“Of course. Do people do that?”
“You mean- buy a house and not use the features it comes with?” He nods. “Yeah, all the time. That’s like… a norm in old-money social circles.”
“Really?” His head tilts, a confused smirk coming over his lips.
“Really. Roman has a house in Puerto Rico he’s never even been to. Says its ‘just in case.’” You laugh candidly at the admission, your head falling back onto his shoulder as you realize just how odd it sounds.
“Just in case what?”
“I have no clue. You should ask him, he likes you.” Lukas just hums in response, a hand coming around your shoulders to hold you close to him. You stay that way for a minute, just breathing and being together. Eventually, you move from your position, his arm falling away as you shift to settle in front of him in the water, bending a bit at your hips to stay at his eye level, hands resting on his thighs as you lean your weight forward. It gives him a great view of your cleavage, which you immediately notice as his eyes drift down to your chest.
“Do you think this is weird?” You look up at Lukas through your lashes, his gaze moving back up to meet yours.
“What? Us?” You nod. “Yeah, a little.” He shrugs, his mouth forming an indifferent line.
“I just feel like we move so fast, like nobody else would really understand it if we told them.”
“Well they don’t have to understand it. Are you happy like this?”
“Very.”
“Then that’s what matters.” He reaches forward, grabbing onto your arms to pull you into his lap, straddling his hips as his hands move to cradle your ass. “ I don’t give a fuck what anyone else thinks. The media, our companies, your family- it’s all unimportant. I only care about you.”
You pause for a second at that, gnawing on your bottom lip as you look into Lukas’s eyes. Your arms move from resting at your sides to circle around the back of his neck. 
“You’re serious about this? About our relationship? About me?” There’s no hesitation before he answers.
“Yes.” A soft smile comes to his lips. “I’m more serious about you than any other relationship I’ve been in, to be honest.”
Something in his eyes tells you that it’s the truth. There’s a tenderness there you haven’t seen before. His answer satisfies you enough to make you lean forward, planting a gentle kiss on his lips. Of course, he deepens it. You’ve learned that Lukas can never do something halfway, with him it’s always all or nothing. The realization calms you a bit, dulls your fears of manipulation and misuse. You almost can’t believe that someone would care for you as much as Lukas does, you think there must be an underlying reason. But it feels so good to be with him, the potential for damage is worth it.
Tumblr media
When Lukas said he was planning everything for you, he wasn’t kidding. The following days of your trip are planned perfectly, with every fine detail figured out for you. You don’t have to make any decisions, just let yourself be led and take things as they come. Part of you loves it, part of you hates it. You go along with it despite your uncertainty.
The first day, you go on a spa trip. The entire building had been rented out for the two of you, a needed step to take for maintaining the privacy of your relationship. Lukas assures you the working staff have also signed NDAs, just to be safe. You spend hours in matching robes getting pampered with the finest and rarest ingredients in the world. The massage you get disposes of all the stress you’ve been carrying, leaving your back and shoulders feeling the best they have in months. You convince Lukas to get a facial, snapping a photo of his face with cucumber slices on his eyes and setting it as his contact photo in your phone.  But more than that, you’re able to be in a semi-public place with your boyfriend and not hide the connection between you two. There’s no harm in pressing a wayward kiss to his lips, in holding his hand as you walk together. Your affection being unconfined in the open is more of a luxury than anything else you receive that day.
The day after that Lukas takes you on a hike. You haven’t had the time to get out in nature in so long, and he knows it. It’s only a short drive to the area, a gorgeous forest of towering trees and lush vegetation. You hadn’t brought active clothing with you, but luckily were able to obtain some via Lukas’s assistant in time for your activity. When you promise to repay Lukas for the money he spent on your outfit, he just scoffs and presses an affectionate kiss to your temple. The hike itself isn’t too hard, only 5 miles round trip with a few uphill treks. On the way Lukas takes the time to point out native plants to you, and you pretend to understand when he pronounces their names in Swedish. At the end you’re left with the view of a beautiful lake and acres of rolling green hills around it. You take a selfie to commemorate your experience, the image showing you smiling at the camera happily and Lukas stooping over to press a kiss to your cheek. You’re so tired at the end that you fall asleep on his shoulder on the drive back, his hand covering yours and blissful smiles on both your faces.
The third day, you stay at home. Lukas apologizes profusely that he can’t take you shopping in old town Stockholm, but knows it's too much of a risk for you to be seen together. Instead of a public outing, you camp out in his living room and spend the day watching your favorite movies. He brings out a horde of Swedish candy, making you try every single one no matter how strange they sound. Bilar ends up being your favorite, you finish an entire bag between the two of you. You show him your favorite childhood movie, cuddling into his shoulder on the couch as you look up at his reactions. He tells you about his favorite movies, the tv shows he loved growing up, the books he read in primary school. It feels familial and a little cutesy. It’s a nice break in the intensity of your relationship.
Later that night you look over at Lukas, stretched out on the couch as he watches the TV intently. You roll over onto your stomach, propping your upper body up on your elbows, bending your knees to hold your feet in the air. 
“Tell me something about yourself.” His head turns to you, a slightly concerned look on his face.
“What do you want to know?” Lukas moves his attention fully to you, shifting his upper body in your direction. You pause, thinking for a second before responding.
“Tell me something you haven’t told anyone else.” 
“Ever?”
“Ever.” He takes a minute, head tilting to look at the ceiling as he thinks.
“I don’t know if I have one of those. I’m a pretty open person.” You give a small laugh at that. He mocks offense at your reaction, mouth opening wide and shoulders raising.
“That is so not true Lukas.”
“I tell people all sorts of things!”
“You calculate what you say though. Like- you tell people things to make them think you’re less threatening.” The smile on Lukas’s face makes you know you have him caught. “You only share what you know people can’t use against you.”
“You know me too well.” You smile at that, move to crawl over to him and roll over, putting your head on his lap, looking up into his eyes. Lukas threads his fingers through your hair, tilts his chin to return your gaze.
“Have you ever been like that with me?” He considers for a minute, eyebrows raising to accentuate the few wrinkles on his forehead.
“Maybe at first.” You nod. “But after I ate your pussy I stopped.” He laughs, a little smug. Your hand comes up to swat at his chest playfully.
“It’s weird seeing you talk to other people, though. Like a switch flips in your brain and all the sudden you’re this social mastermind.”
“Yeah…” Lukas lets out a small sigh, his tongue darting out to wet his lower lip before he continues. “I guess I keep my guard up, it can be a little intense.”
“Intense is a good word. For both of us.”
“It is.”
“You really don’t have anything that you haven’t told anyone else? Anything at all?” You widen your eyes and pout your bottom lip.
“Let me think.” Lukas takes a deep breath, closes his eyes for a moment. “I sent this girl my blood once.”
“What?” 
“An ex of mine, I sent her frozen bricks of my blood. Like, these half-pint blood ice cubes.” You hesitate before responding, a genuine question in your voice.
“Why did you do that?”
“It was a joke at first. Then I just kept doing it. I don’t know- I just like being able to do that shit, you know? Like- having some power over her, even though we aren’t together.” He shrugs, averts his eyes from yours for a second before glancing back down as you speak.
“That’s pretty bad, Lukas.” Your tone is more lecturing than actually upset, like a teacher reprimanding a student for bad behavior.
“Yeah, yeah I know. You gonna break up with me?”
“Nah. I know people who have done worse.” You give him a little smile. “Who’s the ex?”
“My comms head. Her name’s Ebba.”
“Well that makes things complicated.” You laugh a little at the strangeness of the situation. Lukas sheepishly smiles.
“Yeah. You’ll probably end up meeting her at some point.”
“I don’t think I wanna meet her, honestly.”
“Because she’s my ex?”
“Yeah. I’d be jealous.” Lukas cracks a grin at that, but you're partially serious. You rise up from your spot in his lap, moving to sit so you face him, legs crossed in front of you. “For real! How come she gets your blood and I don’t?”
“You want my blood?” His eyebrows furrow, a genuinely surprised look spreading over his features.
“I dunno… maybe.” You blush a little at the strange admission and bring a hand up to push your hair back. “ I just want all of you.”
A cheeky smile returns to Lukas’s lips at the confession. “You’re almost as crazy as I am.”
You don’t respond to that, just move a hand to jokingly push him away. A move that causes Lukas to retaliate by bringing a hand to your chin and pulling you into a soft kiss. You huddle up together to finish the film, with him actually focused on the screen and yourself slowly drifting to sleep. When the movie finishes, you’re fast asleep, head resting gently on Lukas’s shoulder as quiet snores leave your mouth. You don’t see the smile that rests on Lukas’s mouth when he notices you. You don’t see the gentle kiss he presses to your forehead before he picks you up and carries you to bed for the night.
Tumblr media
You wake up in the early hours of the morning, moonlight still shining through the large windows to illuminate the room in front of you. Your hair is spread out on the pillow like a circlet around your head. As you roll from your position lying on your back, the sleeping form of Lukas comes into your view. He’s on his side, facing you, with his eyes closed and shoulders rising with even, deep breaths. He looks so peaceful like this, vulnerable in a way you’ve never seen before. You reach out, your hand brushing his hair back off his forehead before falling to cup his cheek. You can’t help but lean in and press a sweet kiss to his temple.
Lukas stirs, when your hand falls away, a lighter sleeper than you realized. His eyelids flutter for a second as he wakes, then open to reveal sleepy eyes staring back at you. A small smile comes to his lips at the sight of you, his shoulders rolling a bit as he comes further into consciousness. 
“You brought me up?” Your voice is quiet, still a bit hoarse from sleep when you speak. Lukas nods in response. A smile comes to your lips, one wide enough to show your teeth. Your hand comes up to his cheek again, the arm closest to the bed moving to prop your upper body up a bit as you lean into him. You kiss him, smile still on your mouth and he reciprocates with twice the force. His hand comes to your waist, pulling your body in close to him as he deepens the kiss, tongue tapping against your lips for permission. 
You allow him entrance, his tongue moving to trace on the roof of your mouth as you let out a soft moan. Your hips tilt into his, pressing your mound to the growing bulge in his fleece pajama pants. The effect is instant, a delicious pressure against your clit that pulls a soft gasp from your throat. Lukas shifts your position, rolling onto his back and using the hand on your waist to pull you to a straddling seat on his lap. He’s still laying down, with you now supporting yourself with a hand to be almost crawling on top of him. 
His pants his feet on the bed, allowing him to slowly roll his hips into yours, grinding you on on his bulge with the hands on your waist. You can’t help moving back from the kiss then, an involuntary moan leaving your mouth at the unexpected sensation. Lukas’s mouth moves to your neck, sucking a mark onto your skin before nipping hard enough to earn a small squeal from deep in your throat. You grind your hips into his again, moving back from your place on your hands to sit upright on Lukas’s lap. His lips follow you for a moment as you move before he drops his head back against the pillow, mouth open and breathing heavy.
Your hands move to Lukas’s chest, bracing yourself as you rock your hips into the hard outline of his cock. A muted hum rumbles through his chest at the feeling, his hands moving to grip your ass and encourage your movements. Your motions are a bit delicate, but your body responds all the same. The heat between your legs builds, shocks running down your thighs at the pressure on your clit. A steady stream of sighs fall from your mouth, a blush gracing your cheeks at the unrestrained showing of your pleasure. Your head falls back a bit, eyes shutting with heavy lids as your face is turned towards the ceiling.
“You’re so perfect.” Lukas briefly moves a hand from your hip to push himself into a seated position. His lips fall to your neck again, peppering you with small kisses and bites, then brushing against your ear. “You’re gorgeous like this, all needy and wanting.”
You can’t argue with that, your moans speaking for themselves. In response, you move to capture his mouth again in a passionate kiss, your sounds muffled against his skin. Lukas’s hands begin helping your movements, creating a steady rhythm of rolling and grinding. It’s too much and not enough at the same time. Your thighs shake with the pressure on your clit, but your core clenches around nothing, feeling terribly empty. You pull back from Lukas’s mouth as a truly desperate whimper leaves your lips.
“I want you.” The confession is breathless, your eyes heavily lidded and your chest rising and falling quickly.
“You have me.” He plants a kiss to your chin, your hand coming up to his jaw.
“No, I mean…” You sigh for a moment, heat creeping up your back at the strange embarrassment you feel. “I want you inside of me. I want you to fuck me.”
Lukas pauses at that, his head moving to look you deeply in the eyes. “You’re sure?”
“Yes.” There’s no hesitation in your answer, him barely finishing his question before you respond. “Please, Lukas.”
He nods, a gentle smile on his lips as he leans back into you with a quick kiss. When you separate, he gently moves you off his hips. You land in a seated position, knees bent with feet planted on the bed and arms behind you to brace your back up off the bed. Lukas moves on top of you, slotting himself between your legs as he sits back on his knees. His fingers come to rub small circles on the exposed skin of your lower thighs. 
“Can I take these off? And your panties?” His voice is low and thick with his accent, barely a whisper as he asks. You nod, spreading your legs a little wider to accommodate the clothing removal. He leans into you, hands moving to the waistband of your casual shorts before slowly pulling them down. You lift your hips a bit, helping as Lukas eases the fabric down the curve of your ass. He moves back from between your legs as the garment moves down your thighs, quickly working them down to your ankles before discarding them completely. Your skin exposed, your body spread out beneath him, you instinctually move to press your knees together.
Lukas just chuckles lowly, a lopsided smirk on his lips as he gently presses your knees back apart. His fingers slowly move to the inside of your thighs, snaking closer to your core. His hands land right under the swell of your ass, cupping your sighs there as he bends to look at your slit. You’re embarrassingly wet, already so worked up after just a little dry humping. Gently, so gently, his thumb moves to part your folds, brushing gently against your clit and causing you to squirm under his touch.
“Shh, I know… I gotta make you cum at least once before you’re ready to take me.” He doesn’t move from his place between your legs, just directs his words up to you. “Don’t wanna hurt you.”
You give a small hum in acknowledgement, moving to let your back fall against the covers, a pillow under your head to allow you to continue watching Lukas. His movements are slow, borderline teasing as he begins his work. A finger comes to your clit, beginning to toy with it in small circles. The effect is instant, growing the heat between your legs at a pace that never fails to amaze you. Gradually, Lukas’s movements increase, both in pressure and speed. Your chest heaves as the gasps leaving your throat grow louder and louder. You’re so lost in the pleasure, don’t even realize your hips are bucking against his touch until Matsson’s hand migrates to push your pelvis back against the bed, anchoring you in place.
His thumb remains on your clit, with his middle finger moving to gently prod against your entrance. Delicately, so delicately, his finger slides in. The movement is easy, no stretching against his width, though his finger is longer than you’ve had before, tapping further back in your cunt than your own fingers ever have. It feels divine to finally have something to clench down on, your silk walls tightening against his digit as he stimulates your clit. You’re already content with the feeling of being full, well, fuller than you’ve been before. But then, Lukas moves. He crooks his finger up, gently beginning to thrust it back and forth into you. 
The pad of his finger easily finds the spongy spot inside you, sending shock waves through your core. It’s only a few thrusts before you’re cumming, tension in your lower stomach finally peaking as your legs shake around Lukas. Your head rolls back, back arching up from the bed as a moan rips through your body. Lukas groans with you, fingers still moving as he fucks you through your orgasm. As your breathing regulates, you whine, a hand coming down to feebly push him away. 
“Good girl… Come on, give me one more.” Lukas’s voice is a low growl as he speaks, slowing his motions while his eyes flick up to yours. “You can take it.”
His ring finger moves, slowly pressing in to join his middle finger deep in your pussy. This time, there’s a stretch. The wetness helps, slicking his skin enough to not provide too much resistance. Even so, there’s a slight stinging sensation between your thighs as you get used to the new feeling. Lukas’s two fingers are the widest thing you’ve taken so far, and he knows it, taking a moment to let you adjust before he begins moving again. A mewl escapes your lips as his fingers take a hook shape, the pressure you previously felt on your g-spot intensified by the extra weight. 
Your hands grasp against the sheets near your hips, finding no purchase as the pleasure in your core begins to build again. When he brushes your clit again, you nearly pull away. The bundle of nerves is throbbing, hyper-sensitive from your first peak and incredibly responsive to Lukas’s touch. It’s almost too much, but it feels so good you lean into his pressure, hips gently rolling to meet his thrusts while he softly plays with your clit. Your fingers travel to the oversized t-shirt you wear, tangling in the fabric there, gently pulling in up to expose more of your stomach. Lukas’s hand on your hip moves up, exploring the new skin as he doubles his efforts on your pussy.
Gasps and faint moans fill the air as electric shocks run down your thighs. Soft words of “please” and “yes” leave your lips as you begin to reach your climax. What sends you over the edge is the feeling of Lukas’s nails as he gently rakes his fingers down your skin. The climax hits you like a wave, satisfaction running through your body with a heat that makes you gasp and whimper for more. Your eyes fall shut as you cum this time, hips moving against your will as your legs fall further open, limp with pleasure. You take time to catch your breath, leaving your eyes shut while you feel Lukas slowly withdraw his digits from you. It’s a strange feeling, being empty again, clenching around nothing in the aftershocks of your orgasm.
The bed shifts as Lukas moves, sitting up to pull his shirt over his head. You open your eyes at the sound of fabric rustling, vision still heavily lidded. His muscles are toned, skin lightly tanned and blonde hair growing a pattern on his chest. Your gaze draws down to the small trail of hair below his navel, disappearing underneath the waistband of his pants. He notices you looking, giving you a goofy smirk before he moves to cover your body with his.
“How do you feel?” His face is close as he talks, gazing into you with his icy blue eyes. You can’t help the smile that breaks out on your face, giggly and blissed out as you respond.
“So good.” Your hands move to his chest, fingers lacing into his light hair as you gently stroke over his muscles. “Will you help me with my top?”
The grin on his face speaks for itself, his hands moving to pull the fabric of your shirt over your head, you helping by shifting your weight. When your chest is exposed, Lukas immediately palms your tits. He squeezes, gently rolls your nipples between his fingers, smirks at the way this causes you to moan. It’s not long before his mouth dips to press kisses along your collarbones, falling to your breasts before he takes a nipple into his mouth, biting and sucking on the skin. Your hand moves to his hair, gasping and arching your back to press yourself against him harder. He chuckles in response, the hum vibrating through your body.
“Lukas…” You don’t have to finish your sentence for him to know what you mean. Know what you’re asking for. He presses a parting kiss to your chest, just between your breasts. Lukas sits back on his legs before moving to stand off the bed, making quick work of his pants as he strips them down his legs. His cock springs up, tip already glistening wet with pre-cum as he approaches you again.
You bite your lower lip at the sight, half from anxiety, half from arousal. He moves between your thighs, sitting up on his knees as he wraps a hand around the base of his shaft. His other hand comes to your thigh, spreading your legs wider as he slots himself in the space between them. Lukas is so close to you now, the front of his thighs pressing against the bottom of yours. His cock hovers over your mound, hand moving to gently stroke up his length while he looks down at you. Your breath comes deep and measured. You don’t blink under his stare, don’t look away, just gaze back into his eyes with the same intensity.
Lukas moves slowly, bending at the waist, his hand traveling to brace himself as he covers your body in his. The kiss he presses to your lips is electric, sending sparks down your body and through your brain. You can feel his cock lightly grazing the skin of your stomach, the realization making you moan into Lukas’s mouth. He swallows the sound eagerly before separating your lips, almost as breathless as you.
“Ready?” 
“Yes.”
His position moves, back to sitting up on his thighs as he begins to guide his cock into you. The hand that was holding him up goes to one of your hands, intertwining your fingers and squeezing. You feel his tip against your entrance, smooth and hot and large. Little by little, he presses into you. The stretch is instant, a stinging pain that makes you inhale roughly and squeeze Lukas’s hand. It’s not unbearable, but it is uncomfortable. Your brows furrow, face pinched with the harsh feeling.
“Are you okay?” Lukas’s motion pauses for a moment, his mushroom tip almost fully inside of you.
“Yeah- just… keep going.” Your voice is quiet and breathless, tinged with discomfort.
“Okay, it’s okay. I have you.” He presses in further, fully sheathing his tip inside of you, a movement that causes a small groan to come from your mouth. “Good. Good girl. You’re doing so well.”
You don’t respond to that, and he doesn’t expect you to. Lukas waits a moment before continuing to press in, so slowly it almost feels tortuous. The worst of the stretch seems like it's over, the pain staying constant instead of increasing like it had been. Lukas’s cock is heavy inside of you, the feeling new and pleasing. You can feel his tip pressing against every ridge inside of you, further and further back. Before long you feel him press against your cervix, a sensation that makes you jolt, pulling back a bit from his form. 
He frowns at that, squeezing your hand quickly before letting go to grab your hip. Lukas’s touch directs you to angle your pelvis differently, the movement causing his cock to sink further into your cunt. He barely has to press any further in before he bottoms out. His hand comes back to yours, the fingers that had been gripping his base moving to gently hold the outside of one of your thighs. You’re fuller than you’ve ever been before, and the pain between your thighs is slowly beginning to fade as he keeps himself fully sheathed inside of you. 
“Wait- just stay for a second.” Lukas nods, face caring and solemn as he watches the expressions cross your face. Your brows unfurrow as the sting in your vulva subsides, a low sigh leaving you as your body relaxes into the bed beneath you.
“Okay?” He notices the change in your posture, hand on your thigh rubbing small circles into your soft skin. 
“Fuck, yes. Move… please move Lukas.” Without the pain occupying your mind, you're able to focus on your other senses. He’s so close to you. His body is warm and strong and everything, everything, everything. Your clit is rubbing perfectly on his pubic bone with him fully inside you, your cunt feeling so full you swear you might implode. It’s so good, but you need more, you think you’ll die if something doesn’t change soon.
Luckily, you don’t have to wait long. Lukas nods as he hears your request, softly pulling back until just his tip is left inside you before pushing back in. This time, he brushes that spot in you, the one that makes your vision go white and your toes curl. You moan low in your throat, earning a matching groan from Lukas as you involuntarily clench around his length. His thrusts steady, a gentle rhythm beginning as he starts to really fuck you.
The pleasure in your lower stomach builds as he moves, your hips starting to roll to meet him in time with his thrusts. Each motion grazes your g-spot, sending sparks of satisfaction through your body. He pants over you, deep groans leaving his mouth while he moves. His noises blend with your gasps and moans, filling the room with the sounds of depravity. Your free hand had been grasping at the sheets next to you ineffectually, now you moved it to squeeze one of your breasts, a sort of anchor as your body rocked with the motions of Lukas.
“Can you… harder?” Your sentence partially trails off as you gasp, barely getting out your question before another moan leaves your lips. 
“Harder?” He confirms, strengthening his thrusts as you nod in response. The effect is powerful, his tip now hitting your g-spot with a force that makes your toes curl and voice whimper. You move instinctually, wrapping your legs around his torso, forcing him even deeper into your soaked cunt. Lukas’s hand on your thigh moves to your waist, gripping the skin there harder than he means to as he becomes lost in the change in sensation.
“God, yes. Please don’t stop.” You swear you hear him breathlessly chuckle at your pleading, but you're too lost in your own pleasure to be sure. The unmistakable sounds of skin slapping fills the room, nearly as loud as your noises of pleasure. His cock bullies that sensitive spot inside of you, bringing you closer and closer to your peak. 
“Fuck. You’re so tight for me.” Lukas’s voice is practically a growl as he speaks. You can only nod helplessly to show your understanding, too overwhelmed by sensation, too close to your climax, to muster any words. “All for me- you’re mine. You’re fucking mine.”
His words go straight to your core, a final push that makes you fall from your peak. Hard. It’s more intense than any orgasm you’ve experienced before, the pleasure white hot and blinding. Your thighs shake, back arches, eyes clamp chut, head rolls back. Lukas groans as you clench on his cock, squeezing him so hard his own head lulls back at the sensation. Your climax hits so hard you don’t even moan, just gasp and whine, letting the feeling roll over you in a wave. You aren’t sure how long you're stuck in this trance of pleasure, but when your eyes finally reopen your boyfriend isn’t far behind you.
Lukas’s thrusts have gotten erratic, pace stuttering and strength escalating as he chases his own release. He’s more vocal now, groaning and growling deep in his throat, little murmurs of praise coming from his lips. You can’t help but bite your lip at the sight. It’s not often you get to see Lukas Matsson desperate, there’s something gratifying in being the cause of his frenzy. His head is thrown back, his lips parted and panting, his Adam's apple bobbing with his heavy breaths. The entirety of his body is coated in a thin sheen of sweat, his skin hot and muscle flexing with his efforts. He’s a picture of sexuality, just the sight of him like this making your heat throb with want.
It’s only a few moments after your climax that Lukas finds his. Thrusts faltering, he pushes himself deep into your cunt, cumming inside of you with a loud moan. His spend coats your insides, hot and wet inside of you, a feeling you haven’t experienced before. The sensation causes a quiet mewl to fall from your lips, the sound making him breathlessly chuckling above you. His head falls back forward. You roll your hips against his a bit, his cock beginning to soften inside of you after his heavy release. This draws his attention back to you, a blissful smile on his face as he gazes back up at your face with heavily lidded eyes. He pumps himself inside of you lightly a few times before slowly, so slowly, pulling his cock from your body.
As soon as he’s out, you feel the warm, wet stream of your combined cum leak from your hole. It’s a strange feeling, being empty again after having been stretched so wide. But the discomfort is gone, and you feel blissed out and satisfied and closer to Lukas than ever before. The smile on your face is embarrassingly wide, blush pink on your cheeks as you gaze up at him, the two of you still quiet and catching your breaths. Lukas moves first, gently bending down to place a light kiss on your smiling mouth before speaking.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah, I feel really good, like, tingly all over.” You giggle, your laughter joined by his own light chuckles. “I didn’t know it could feel like that.”
“Like what?” His eyebrows furrow a bit in question as he moves to stand at the edge of the bed. You follow his movements, sitting up on the mattress with your legs stretched out in front of you. 
“Like… an explosion.” 
“I think you’re cum drunk.”
“Probably.” 
He laughs again at your nonchalant tone, moving to his en suite bathroom to grab a towel for you. You take the moment of calm to raise your arms up, stretching your back and shoulders after laying for so long. You bend your legs, tucking them up against your naked body and resting your head on your knees. Lukas comes back into your view, moving to kneel at the end of the bed, his eyes level with your hips. He grabs onto an ankle, lightly tugging you towards him. You follow his nonverbal request easily, scooting to the edge on the bed with your legs once again open to give him a clear view of your cunt. His fingers move to either side of your slit, spreading your folds, a devious look on his face as he watches his creamy spend drip from your used hole.
“Hell of a creampie…” Lukas’s eyes flick up to yours, a small gasp having left your mouth at his touch to your sensitive vulva. He bites his lower lip then, cursing under his breath while he sits back a bit, shaking his head as he realizes. “Shit, I didn’t even think about protection.”
“Got too caught up in it?” There’s a small smile on your face, the expression calming his nerves. He nods in response. “It’s okay, we can Doordash Plan-B or something. Do you have that in Sweden?”
Lukas chuckles then, moving back with the towel to gently clean between your legs. The rough terrycloth of the towel drags on your sensitive clit, making your hips wriggle a bit in protest. He just smiles at your movements, continuing his work until he’s satisfied. When he moves the fabric away from you, your eyes catch on a red patch marking the white cloth.
“Did I…?” You move your feet to hang off the end of the mattress to aid you in standing just in front of Lukas. When you're comfortably standing on the floor, albeit on slightly shaky legs, you turn the upper half of your body to peer at the sheets behind you. There on the white fabric is a small blooming stain of red blood. It’s not enough to concern you, but it does cause a small blush to come to your face as you back to face Lukas, who is now standing in front of you, hands coming to anchor themselves on your hips. “Oh I messed up your sheets… I didn’t think-”
“Shh, hey it’s okay. It’s just sheets, ’s fine. You’re more important than linens.” One of his hands moves you to rub against your cheek comfortingly. You nod slowly, looking up into his eyes. There’s a gentle look on Lukas’s face, a look you only see when you two are alone. He places a kiss on your lips before speaking again. “You want to head to bed? Get some sleep?”
You pause for a second, moving your hands to trail up the skin of his back before they land on the back of his neck. You press your chest against his, the hand on your cheek moving back to grip the meat of your ass to stabilize you. “Yeah… or we could do it again?”
Tumblr media
The rest of your vacation is spent in Lukas’s bed. Well, that’s not entirely true, it’s also spent in his pool, and on his kitchen counter, and on his couch, and against his bedroom wall, and in his tub… You’re convinced he’s trying to get you to stay, but you fly back at the end of the week as scheduled. Despite his very persuasive attempts. 
After Sweden, things get better. It’s like Lukas fucked the fog out of your brain and your back to thinking clearly. You cut back your hours at the office, maintain your work-life balance a bit better, though it’s never great with Waystar. You sleep better at night, usually falling asleep on Facetime with Lukas or reading his text messages. You even schedule some time to get your hair done, a task that your split ends thank you greatly for. You’re functioning the most normally you can given the circumstances. Lukas says maybe your reset switch is in your pussy, you say maybe all the additives and preservatives in American food were finally catching up to you. 
Even your status with your siblings gets better. A month or two after the initial shit show of Caroline’s wedding, Kendall reaches out to apologize to you. He tells you he’s staying sober and says he misses you, wants to see you in person, talk things through. You end up meeting at a cafe in Manhattan. Ken almost immediately tries to convince you to jump ship and join your siblings on their new project. To his credit, he understands when you decline. It’s not long after that meeting that your other siblings reach out. Roman sends a half-assed, jokey apology. Shiv doesn’t say sorry at all. But at least you have your family back.
Both your siblings and your dad are upset that you’re talking to the other side, but you stand firm in your place as a neutral party. Once again, you’re the peace keeper of the Roy family. You can’t get them to speak directly, can only make offhand comments to try and slightly influence their perceptions. It’s not much, but it makes you feel less useless at least. You’re sure your siblings won’t miss Logan’s birthday, so you hold out hope they’ll make up by then. They have a few months so it’s not impossible, stranger things have happened.
In the weeks leading up to your dad’s birthday, you visit Lukas again. You stay with him in Sweden again, this time staying only 3 days instead of a week. It’s the same blissful, honeymoon-esque vacation as your first trip. This time with even more sex, if that’s even possible. Lukas teaches you to give blowjobs, and lets you try any position you want. He’s even caring when he’s fucking you roughly, pulling your hair and swallowing your moans with his mouth. He cleans you up after every session, dries your tears and draws you a hot bath for your sore muscles. Again, he hits a reboot button in you, makes you go back to New York with a stupid grin on your face and your head filled with rainbows.
As good as Lukas makes you feel, he leaves you entirely unprepared for the firestorm that your siblings unleash on your dad’s birthday.

YOU’RE LOSING ME l NH13
summary: nico is pulling away, and although you're desperately trying to hold on, you can't stop the two of you from falling apart at the seams.
pairing: nico hischier x fem!reader
author's note: hi!!! been trying to finish this for a few days, but i just couldn't write anything for the ending, so the end is kinda méh. anyways, i hope you enjoy! remember: likes and reblogs are always welcomed and appreciated!!! thank you so much for reading!! <3333
Tumblr media
You met Nico Hischier in the winter. It was freezing in New Jersey, but his warm hands and big brown eyes warmed you from the inside out.  He was passionate, understanding, kind, and delightful. Nico Hischier was the closest to perfection anyone has ever been. Or, used to be, at least. Now, you felt like you hadn’t seen him in days, even if you lived in the same apartment. He was gone before you were up and came back home when you were already sound asleep. You couldn't pinpoint the moment everything went downhill, and Nico stopped being the perfect boyfriend he had always been, but it was slowly killing you. 
You knew you’d eventually have to let Nico go. It was the hardest thing you’d have to do, so you didn’t. You ignored the hurt when he refused to spend time with you, or when he forgot date night, or when he stopped telling you to come to his games, or when he started to go out more and more, or when he stopped texting and calling you back, or when he seemingly stopped caring. But you couldn’t escape it forever, and, most importantly, you couldn’t keep fighting this battle alone, holding on to a dying relationship until your knuckles turned white. You were miserable, and you couldn’t live your whole life like this.
You took a deep breath, watching as the rain poured down through your windows. The raindrops echoed harshly on the roof of the building, bringing an unsettling feeling to weigh in your stomach. It was loud and anxiety-inducing. It made you want to disappear under the covers, cuddled up to your boyfriend.
The rain seemed to get louder with each passing second. Your head pounded and your vision was blurred. Another deep breath, trying to calm yourself down. It's just rain, you tried telling yourself.
Nights like these would have Nico holding you tightly and whispering sweet nothing into your ear until you fell asleep in his arms. If he was away, you knew you could always call him. Nico would always pick up after the second ring, even if he had been sleeping. And then they would sit there and talk, letting the darkness fade away until the nightmares were long gone, and all there was left in the world was the two of you. Until you could sleep through the night, thinking of the man who would always be there for him. But when, once again, Nico sends some half-assed excuse about missing date night because he’s going out with the boys for “team bonding”, you know you’re done. You were already reaching your breaking point and this might just have been the final blow. You take off the fancy dress, and the makeup and start packing. 
Putting all of your clothes 一 or, most of them, at least, 一 is the most painful thing you’ve ever done. Especially, when all that’s left in your side of the closet are your favorite of Nico’s hoodies. 
After packing all the most important stuff, you decide to get an uber. You’ll text Nico tomorrow and explain everything and then, you can come sometime later this week to get the rest of your stuff. Right now, you just need to leave peacefully. But you know it won’t be this easy when you hear the door open. You walk out, going to the living room, where Nico is just entering. He’s stumbling slightly and reeking of alcohol.
“Baby? Why are you still up?”
“I think we should break up.” You say, without looking at Nico.
“What?” He questions, suddenly sobered up by your statement.
“Nico, I love you. But this isn’t fair.” Anger sounds through your voice, while you continue, “I can’t keep trying to keep us afloat on my own anymore. I’m drowning.” 
“Baby, where is this coming from?” Nico asks, with a shocked expression on his face.
“I can’t do this anymore, Nico.” Tears well up in your eyes as you speak, “This is fucking killing me. I love you in every possible way I can love someone, but you don’t even care. I’m hurt, and I’m so tired. I’m fucking exhausted, Nico.” You cry out.
“Why are you doing this?” Nico questions, again, incapable of wrapping his mind around you leaving.
“Because of you.” Bitterly, you answer, tears streaming down your face. “You pushed me away. I was here every single day, for you. And it tears me apart because you used to be mine. And I-”
“I’m yours,” He says, cutting you off desperately
“You were mine, Nico. And I was yours. I thought the world of you, I’d have done anything for you and now, you’re the one who hurts me the most. I just wanted you to be here. To try. To love me.”
 That’s when it finally clicked. The words coming out of your mouth started to make sense and guilt started to eat away at Nico. How could he be so stupid? He wasn’t trying to push you away, but he also hadn’t done much to keep you around. He felt like a failure. He had allowed the one thing he always vowed wouldn’t be in the way of your relationship to do so and destroy what he cared about the most: You. And now, he was losing you. How had he not realized this before? How had he not seen this coming? How does he make it stop?
“I don’t wanna lose you,” Nico manages to choke out, fear suddenly consuming him, “I love you. You’re the most important person in my life, let me prove it to you, please. Just don’t go. Please,” He begs, “Give me a second chance. I’ll show you how much I need you. I’ll do better. I’ll be better,” Nico pleads, teary-eyed. 
“I have to go, Nico.” You mutter, looking down to the ground
“No.” The man interrupted you, shaking his head and fighting tears, in denial, refusing to believe the words you were saying. “Please, stay” His watery eyes scanned your face, looking panicked, searching for anything he could hold on to.
“I can’t, Nico.” You answer, whispering, avoiding his eyes. “Not anymore. I don’t wanna lose you, but I can’t live like this forever.”
“You won’t have to. I promise I’ll be better, I’ll-” Nico tries to plead, pulling your hand into his.
“Nico, it’s over.” You interrupted him, too drained to keep discussing it any longer. And then he lets go of your hand.
He wasn’t ready.
He didn’t want to let go.
But he had no choice.
Still, he let you go.

Getting Lost
Flufftober Day 29: Corn Maze
Steve Harrington X reader
Word Count: 0.9k
AN: We're almost done! Just two more to go. This one has some foul language, if that isn't your thing then don't read. Reblogs and Feedback are always appreciated. I'll see y'all tomorrow.
Tumblr media

“I don't give a shit what you do, just leave us alone until it's time to go home.” Was Steve’s gruff command to the children that you had taken to the fall festive at Colbert’s Farm on the edge of town.
“But what if there's an emergency or something?” Dustin asked.
“You’re smart dipshit, you’ll figure something out.” Was Steve’s only reply before pulling you by your hand away from the herd of teenagers and into the opposite direction. As always, Steve was the babysitter. The teens said that they wanted to go to the fall festival. They pulled some puppy-dog eye bullshit and strong-armed Steve and you into giving them rides and being the chaperones that their parents now required for any outing.
They had thrown out practically everything they thought would work on you but what really pushed you over the edge was Eleven’s small voice telling you that she had never had a real Halloween and she was getting too old to really enjoy it.
You folded like a house of cards and Steve followed you in whatever you did. That is how the two of you landed babysitting duty twenty minutes out of time for an entire day. Luckily you didn’t have to bankroll the empty pits that were commonly known as the party. One too many times you had forked over your entire paycheck to the little shitheads. After that, you demanded that anything they wanted when you were out needed to be paid for by themselves or their parents. 
“I can’t afford my own shit if I’m using all my money on you guys.” You had yelled at them when they complained about the new rule.
Being the babysitter on duty didn’t necessarily mean that you had to watch them. At least that is what Steve had claimed when another date night had been ruined by a teenage ambush. If you followed along with that line of thinking, then running away to go make out in the corn maze wasn’t actually breaking any rules. 
Steve wasn’t really wrong when he said that they could take care of themselves. These children had fought literal monsters, they could handle themselves at some autumn-themed gathering in the middle of nowhere.
“Where are we going?” You had asked Steve, after ten minutes of pulling on your arm and the tenth turn in the corn maze. You were almost one hundred percent sure that Steve had no idea where he was going.
“They won’t be able to find us if we get lost.” 
‘That is the stupidest thing you’ve probably ever said.”
“We could always turn around and spend the whole day following after them.”
“No!” You yelled. You stopped moving forward. “No, I think that that would be even more stupid. 
“That's what I thought.” Steve sounded smug. He continued to pull you for another few minutes, making turn after turn. ‘Alright, I think we are sufficiently lost.”
“Yeah but, what are we gonna do now.” 
Steve neglected to answer you with words. He just grabbed the back of your head and brought your lips to his. Kissing Steve was always magical, whether it was early morning kisses soaked in admiration and a little bit of drowsiness, or they were like this. Hot and passionate, Steve kissed you like he’d never be able to kiss you again. 
Steve was gentle but strong. He didn’t let you pull away but he let you guide the kiss. He pulled and pushed you like the moon did to the tides. You were at his mercy, letting the entire world fall away. 
In those stolen moments, you and Steve shared a connection that went beyond words. It was a kiss that spoke of longing and passion. 
When he kissed you it was a promise. A promise for a life full of joy, a reassurance of his love. It was always more than just a kiss, Steve Harrington never just kissed.
You don’t know how long you two were intertwined in the midst of the corn stalks. It could have been seconds, hours, years. When you were with Steve time didn’t matter. Nor did your responsibilities. Yet somehow both of them always caught up with you.
It was a clearing of a throat that drew you out of your bubble.
A disgusted Lucas stood behind a disgruntled Dustin. Next to them were Max and El, giggling together and fanning their faces in the most dramatic way they could. Mike and Will stood next to each other, looking very much the picture of embarrassment. 
“What?” Steve asked, still holding onto you.
“Where the hell have you been?” Dustin demanded.
“Where do you think?” you asked him. 
“The festival closes in thirty minutes. We’re all hungry and we’ve been looking for you for the past hour.” Lucas filled you in.
“Well, you found us,” Steve replied, unhelpfully. 
“Do any of you shitbirds remember how to get out of here?” you asked them. El nodded and started making her way back through the maze. It was almost freaky how on point she was with her turns. She flawlessly guided the rest of you through the maze, you all making it out just in time to leave before they locked the gate.
“Alright. Climb in fuckers, we’re going to McDonalds.” Steve hollard. The teens followed the instructions dutifully. Climbing into either your car or Steve’s depending on who they had come with.
You and Steve pulled close to one another before getting in your cars to take the kids home. Steve kissed you one more time and faintly from his backseat you heard the curly-haired child yell. “Not again.”
You and Steve flipped him off in unison.

wanna write me some cute Bokuto fluff ??? you know you do.... i'm itching crying BARKING plz bb just a scrap a crumb
what was that? bokuto scraps for the love of my life? always. anything for u my love. kinda lame bc i wrote it in a total of like 30 minutes but blehhhhh
warnings: fluff s'all. bokuto is clingy. i don’t proof read
wc: 500 lol
Tumblr media
mornings with bokuto were always the worst. not because they were bad, but because he refused to let you go. it didn’t matter what the occasion was. if you had work, if he had practice, it didn’t matter. he was not moving.
“bo, please. this is a really important thing in my family. i have to be there, and on time. otherwise my mom’ll murder me,” you tried to squirm your way out of his arm, but his grip was strong. stronger than you, that’s for sure. “promise when i get home i’ll get right back into bed with you.”
“don’t lie,” bokuto whined, burying his face further into your chest, “when you get home you’ll want to clean or go on a walk, and then you’ll want to take a shower. and then it’s dinner time, then you’ll want to read your book or watch your show until bed. and then, finally, after hours and hours of suffering without you, you’ll be ready for bed. then you’ll let me cuddle you.”
you frowned, knowing he was right. you had used that on him one too many times, apparently. enough for him to see right through you, at least. “i promise, we can cuddle for a little bit when i get home before i start cleaning okay?” you pushed back his shoulders so you could look in his eyes, moving one of your hands so you could look into his eyes.
“promise promise?” he sighed, a small pout on his face. “y’know i have to leave in two days for like a week, so if you’re lying i’m not cuddling you until i come back.” bokuto moved away, sitting up and looking over at you again, “and i mean it, for real. i really won’t cuddle you until i get home.” “i know you don’t mean that,” you laughed, leaning over to press a kiss to his shoulder, “you could never do that to me, kou. i think you’d cave before i do,” you watched him feign offense, turning away from you and getting out of bed.
“just for that, i don’t want to cuddle with you anymore today. feel free to go and hang out with your mom and come home and clean and shower and read and mind your own business until you fall asleep, i’ll just cuddle you tomorrow. not today.” he crossed his arms and looked away, though you saw him open one of his eyes to make sure you were looking at him like a child. “and i mean that.”
“sure you do, loverboy.” you rolled your eyes and stood up yourself, stretching your limbs. “i’ll be home around two, okay? if you’re not already cuddled up in bed when i get here i’m not gonna wait around, i’ll get started on doing my other stuff and then it’ll be too late.”
“won’t move from this spot ‘til you’re back, then,” bokuto dove himself back onto the bed, curling up in the blankets, “have fun with your mom, i’m gonna be snug as a bug in a rug while i wait.”

the WGA strike & my future as a writer
Tumblr media
cazio here. hey. maybe you’ve noticed my chapter updates slowing down over the past few months. you also may have heard me talking about being unemployed. how do those two correlate? i’ve spent the past month in a state of so much stress & anxiety i can’t focus on anything, that’s how. 
the writer’s strike/impending SAG strike (read: studio greed) is having a ripple effect on everyone in film. non-union employees (like me) are suddenly looking at potentially being jobless until 2024 with no union to help us. the singular emergency relief fund for non-union workers in entertainment won’t let us apply for aid until our bank statements prove there aren’t enough funds to pay the bills--and our request could still be denied.
as a freelancer, i typically have 6 months of savings ready to go. now i’m looking at 8 months of unemployment due to the timing of my last job ending. 
in a perfect world, i would write fanfic for a living. but all of us fandom folks know it’s illegal to profit off of fanfic. 
however, i do plan to be a full time writer someday. i’m in the process of finishing up the second draft of my first commercial manuscript to get published, but even if i get an agent tomorrow, it will be at least a year before i see anything come of that. 
i’m starting work on another manuscript to have ready to go when the time comes--in fact, i’m converting phantoms and pencil marks into an original work called Phantom Pains. this means character and story changes that will bring new insight and new scenes & storylines to readers, even those who read the fanfic version (as in 50k words of more content). 
i will be posting the first draft of the new original story chapter by chapter, exclusively on my ko-fi for my supporters. 
Phantom Pains Summary & Info
Phantom Pains Chapter 1 (for supporters only)
click here to support me on ko-fi. (the membership tier names should be familiar lol)
if you don’t care about an original work, that’s fine. i get it--fanfic is special because we all know the characters involved. i have a maxiel fanfic outline and a piarles outline in the pipeline for when FG and MIATT are finished, but right now those chapter updates are excruciatingly slow, since every time i sit down at my laptop i’m faced with either writing a story for fun or applying to corporate jobs in the worst job market since 2008 (lol). 
supporting me as a writer is also supporting my ability write for fun (aka fanfic). by supporting my original work, you’re helping to alleviate a crushing amount of stress preventing me from providing content for you all.

Chapter 16
Roman’s mind wasn’t the most fun to be in when he knew someone he loved was in danger. Currently, that someone was his brother. Logan's spell had hit Roman when he first went missing. Roman found every clue there was to be around Logan, but for some reason, it always led to nowhere. Then, out of nowhere, Patton had found Logan injured and tired. It was almost worrying had he not known Logan. If Logan looked like hell, it meant what he went through was more than what he knew hell to be.
The police had been in contact with the friends as soon as Logan was put into safety and treated for his wounds. However, Roman felt something was off.
“We won’t be able to see him until later tomorrow.” Virgil walked into the room, defeated as he sat on the couch next to Roman.
“Mhm.” Roman blinked, turning to look at the boy, “You’ve been using your power, haven’t you?”
Virgil raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”
“You looked drained. I know that most mediums have the power to search for a specific ghost, but it could be deadly.”
“Yeah.” Virgil sighed, “I just…needed to make sure Logan wasn’t one. I thought I could get out of it before I drained all the magic out of me.”
“What happened?”
“I had Janus on standby. I got really close.” Virgil shuddered, “But…at least Logan’s okay. He’s safe and sound.”
“Hm.” Roman decided to leave his worries in his mind. “You should sleep.”
“I guess I deserve it.” Virgil sighed, yawning.
Roman chuckled, “You do.”
“What about you? Will you be okay?”
Roman nodded, “Ghosts don’t need sleep, remember?”
“Still…” Virgil murmured, “My anxiety’s still at an all time high. I don’t think I would be able to sleep.”
Roman thought about how to help Virgil.
“What if…I tell you a story that I remember?’
“You remember your past?’
“...just flashes.” Roman murmured, “Come on, Hot Topic, let’s get you to bed.”
“Aw, you think I’m hot.” Virgil grinned at him.
Virgil caught the pillow that Roman threw at him before it could hit his face, “Alright, fine, I’ll try my best to sleep.”
Once he was tucked into bed, Roman sat at the edge of the bed. “You know, I’ve done this plenty of times, but this one feels different.”
“Maybe because you don’t think of me as your brother? Hopefully.” Virgil snorted.
“Yeah, I don’t.” Roman snorted before looking at him, “You’re kinda like my soulmate.”
“Really?”
“I don’t know. It might just be the attachment to the first medium I’ve met, but something’s different about you.”
“I really like you too, Ro.” Virgil replied.
Roman felt his heart skip a beat, but tried to ignore it. It was him talking about them as friends. About them as platonic soulmates. They were nothing more. Besides, there would be no other way for them to even be in a romantic relationship.
Taking the idea out of his head, Roman just smiled back at him, “Right…about that story. What do you want to hear?”
“Anything about you. I feel like it’s always about my life and never about yours.”
“I’ll tell you about the time that I was face to face with a bear.”
Roman wasn’t even halfway through his story when he heard Virgil stop giggling. He looked over to see him sleeping peacefully and Roman smiled, standing up. Brushing the hair out of his face, Roman walked out of the room, deciding to pay a visit to another one of the other 3 friends. Even if they didn’t see him, they always managed to know when he was in the room.
-+=~=+-
“Remus, where’s Roman?” Janus rushed into the room where Roman was chilling with Remus. The two were currently playing catch with a plastic basketball as Remus had remembered he could interact with any object, but not any person.
“What? Why?” Remus asked as he threw the ball to Roman.
“Oh, okay.” Janus sighed in relief, “I’m assuming that’s him?”
Roman shook the ball in a nodding manner before throwing it back to Remus. Remus caught it, “Still didn’t answer my question.”
“Virgil freaked out when he couldn’t find him.” Janus sighed, catching the ball before Roman could, “Come on, you two.”
“What?” The two boys raised an eyebrow.
“Oh…you don’t know. They’re still treating Logan, but he requested to see us, so we can go see him now.”
As they walked into the hospital, the three met up with Virgil and Patton.
“How is he?” Janus asked.
“We're waiting for you guys to see him.” Patton gave a small smile. He looked better, clearly having also gotten sleep, but still horrible from not taking care of himself.
“You look less tired than before.”
“Ah, yeah.” Patton muttered, “I guess Logan being found put my worries to ease. Sort of.”
“Sort of?”
Patton ignored the question as they all walked in the room to see Logan reading. Upon hearing the door open though, Logan jumped, throwing the book at the group. Patton dodged it coming right towards his face, catching the book.
“Woah, Logan.” Janus stared, “Are you okay, Patton?”
“Sorry. Impulse.” Logan murmured as the group traveled to where he was, Patton giving Logan back his book.
“Where’d you learn to catch like that?” Remus asked.
“Dodgeball practice. Ass at throwing, so I learned to dodge and catch. Stopped me from being beat up.”
“Nerd.” Janus snorted at him.
“What happened?” Virgil asked, “I mean…you weren’t like this before.”
Roman could tell Virgil was trying to put it delicately because it was true. They had never seen Logan be that scared. He was always calm and collected, robotic even. Even when he was scared.
“I ran into the wrong type of people. Caleb got some ghosts, I think, to possess some humans, and I was stuck in his dungeon. I learned pretty fast how to defend myself against ghosts and humans that ghosts have possessed.” Logan murmured, looking down. “I was scared.”
From the looks of their friends’ faces, it was clear this was one of the few times that Logan had even shown emotion, and it must’ve been the first that he had shown this much.
However, to Roman, he had heard enough. Letting Virgil know that he was going out for a breath of fresh air, he walked out to the balcony, where he looked out. Whoever was in there, he knew, wasn’t his brother.
He hadn’t even noticed when the door had slid open and someone had come out.
Virgil stepped back from the window to lean against the railing where Roman was. Roman didn’t say anything, keeping his eyes fixed on the horizon.
“You don’t think that’s him, do you?” Virgil asked, breaking the silence.
Roman looked over, suddenly surprised by how far Virgil was leaning, “You shouldn’t do that. I can’t teleport living beings, you know?
“You told me before you could.” Virgil remarked before deciding to take pity on him and safely lean instead of almost falling off the railing.
Roman tried to grab onto Virgil’s arm, only to phase through it, “Yeah well…that relies on physical contact.”
“Alright, Ro, fess up. What are you worried about? Logan’s home safe and sound. What makes you so reluctant to accept that you were worried and now you’re relieved?”
“I just…the vibes feel off.”
Virgil snorted, raising an eyebrow, “The vibes feel off? Of course they do. Logan probably just went through hell. It makes sense he’s not acting like himself. He looks like he just went through hell and back. So maybe he’s a little more scared than usual.”
“No, no, it’s not that.” Roman murmured, staring at Logan, “He just….feels off. I don’t know what it is. Call it brotherly instinct.”
“Hey, maybe you should think about the fact that the brotherly instinct is probably just your anxiety taking over. Besides, you haven’t been around him for almost 4 years. How do you know that it’s instinct?”
“Just take it as a gut feeling.” Roman murmured, turning to stare at Virgil. “Ask Patton. Please.”
Virgil shrugged, calling both Patton and Remus over. Coming over in confusion with Janus following soon after, Virgil held his hands out. Immediately, the two boys grabbed onto his hands, with Janus holding on to Remus’s. Roman could feel the magic rushing through everyone and then suddenly, Virgil motioned to Patton. “Ask him yourself.”
“What’s this about?” Patton asked, “Please don’t say it’s about how worried you are for my health. I don’t care. At this moment-”
“Not what I was going to say.” Roman interrupted Patton, “Don’t you think Logan’s…for lack of a better phrase…vibes are off?”
“Well…kinda.” Patton shrugged, “I noticed it as I was helping him to the hospital, but I blamed it on whatever he went through.”
“Kinda?”
“His magic’s too powerful.”
“You can feel auras?” Remus raised an eyebrow.
“Well…I can tell when someone has magic. It kinda envelops me and that’s how I know how powerful someone is.”
“Yeah. I can teach you how to do it one day, Remus.” Virgil offered. “But that’s not what’s important right now. Continue, Patton.”
“When Logan’s magic envelops around me, it feels like a warm blanket around me. I feel safe around his magic. When I helped him to here, his magic felt cold. It feels almost too powerful because I feel like it’s going to start sucking my magic.”
“I thought Patton didn’t have a power.” Janus pointed out.
“Not that we know of.” Virgil corrected him, “But everyone has magic in their system, power or no powers. It’s what keeps us alive. It shouldn’t feel like it would start to suck out the magic that keeps us alive.”
“So that’s bad?”
“Either that’s not Logan, or Logan has been through something that changed his magic, which I wouldn’t put it past if he came out looking like that. I mean, the police confirmed the blood on the grass spot in the woods we found the other day was his. We just need to get him to tell us the full story.”
Roman sighed, almost feeling more worried now that he knew what Patton thought.
Virgil thanked the two boys before separating to talk to Roman again, “You okay? That help you?”
“I don’t know.” Roman groaned, “I just feel like something’s wrong with me that I can’t figure any of this out. I feel so horrible…”
Roman trailed off as he looked down from the second story where they were in to see someone walking in covered in discrete clothing, rushing past people while phasing through them. They looked almost in a rush like they were looking for someone.
“What?” Virgil raised an eyebrow.
“What are the chances that someone is covered from head to toe in winter clothing when it’s 95 degrees outside…and a ghost?” Roman asked.
“Zero to none.”
“Then we need to see who the person that walked in was.” Roman replied, “Let’s meet in the middle. I’ll go from the bottom.”
Virgil nodded and Roman blinked to teleport to the bottom of the building, only to find the ghost.
“Hey!” He yelled, and the ghost turned towards Roman slowly. Roman got a closer look, surprised to see someone that looked like the carbon copy of a female version of his father. Then, the ghost started to run up the stairs, Roman soon following behind him.
“Don’t move.” Virgil showed up on the other side, pointing something at the ghost. Roman didn’t know what it was, but he said the command with such force that even Roman’s heart dropped and he held his hands up in the air, along with the ghost.
“What is that?” Roman asked as he jumped out of his thoughts. Virgil wouldn’t hurt anyone, especially not him.
“Something.” Virgil breathed, “Having experiences with ghosts my entire life, I’ve come across a lot of good and bad. And I needed to find a way to stop the bad ghosts. This is one of the ways. Come here, Roman.”
Roman teleported to him, careful not to be anywhere near whatever he was holding.
“Tell me who you are and what you’re doing here.”
“Your brother sent me.” The woman looked at Roman. “At least, I’m assuming he’s your brother.”
“My brother’s in the room. What do you mean he sent you?”
“My name is Jasmine Sanders. You look more like my family. You are…?”
Roman crossed his arms, “Roman Sanders.”
“Roman. What a beautiful name.”
“Cut straight to the point.” Virgil waved around his gadget.
“Right. When your brother was captured, a couple of Caleb’s workers and I had decided to try and help him escape. However, I was caught in the process, and your brother tried to be the hero. He told Caleb that he’d go willingly with anything Caleb said as long as Caleb let me and the other workers off the hook. Whoever is in there is a fake.”
“Impossible. They’d have to be a human possessed.”
Jasmine just sighed, taking out a book. She muttered something and held it out. “A peace offering.”
“What is it?” Virgil raised an eyebrow.
“A spell book.” Jasmine just kicked it over, “I gave it to Logan, but he gave it back to me. Said I needed to protect you.”
“So why wouldn’t you keep it then? You know how to use it.” Virgil, upon inspecting it, picked up the book.
“I can feel the auras of your magic. Logan’s magic was incredibly strong, but yours is even stronger. You guys will get the hang of it immediately. Besides, I can’t stay here very long. Just enough to explain what’s going on to you two.”
“Then talk.”
“Uh, Vir, maybe we should do it less out in the open. You might look crazy right now.” Roman looked nervous as he saw people starting to rush in.
“Fine. Come on, I know a quiet place.”
With that, the two ghosts followed him, careful not to touch whatever Virgil had in hand. Jasmine fell behind and Roman caught up to Virgil.
“So, what is the gadget in hand?”
Virgil opened his hand to show the crystal that he always carried with him, “It’s not going to hurt her if Jasmine’s not lying.”
Roman waved his hand over the crystal, feeling magic flow through him, “Woah, that’s different from the one I have.”
“Well, yeah. It’s Logan’s crystals, so it’s infused with his magic already even without his knowledge. It has Patton’s protection, and I’ve also put extra protection on mine.” Virgil smiled, “It’s triple the magic a crystal usually has.”
“Huh, so it could be used for weaker people to use powers?”
“Well, if they have powers, yes, but most likely, it’s used to help people without powers conjure spells, or strengthen the ones of a magic user.”
“So I could theoretically use that book?” Roman raised an eyebrow, pointing to the spell book in Virgil’s hand.
“Not out in the open.” Virgil pulled them into a quiet room.
“What is this place?”
Virgil was quiet before he looked out to make sure that Jasmine had followed them. Once everyone was in the room, Virgil closed the door, locking it. “I didn’t tell you, but I started interning at this hospital. Every intern gets their own room. This is mine.”
“Oh, that’s so cool.” Roman grinned. “So…Jasmine, please do start speaking.”
“I can’t say too much. All I can say is to not let any ghost touch you, just in case it’s Caleb.” Jasmine rolled down her sleeve to show a purple stamp, “I made that mistake, and now my soul is bound to him forever.”
“So why tell me this in the first place?”
“It’s time for a change. Everyone’s tired of existing here. They want to move on to the afterlife. They want to stop suffering under the hands of Caleb.” Jasmine replied, “And for once, I’d like to see my sister again.”
Roman felt his heart break. He knew how that felt.
“Caleb’s obsessed with this prophecy. Logan already knows it, but it’s time you heard it too. Generation after generation, seek the red carnation. Throughout all the Sanders, look for the one that is a magic commander. If what you seek for is power, they will bring you to the pink hydrangea flower. Lives lost and many crossed, a man willing to find the special one at any cost. Succeed if every generation is decimated, or rue the day he was betrayed by the ones he dictated.” Jasmine repeated before waving her hand and it appeared on Roman’s arm, “It’ll go away once the prophecy is fulfilled.”
“Do you know what it means?”
“Not fully. We all thought you’d be the end and he would succeed, but none of us thought that he would find what he wanted.”
“And who is what he wants?”
“The fake will lead you to his lair. The fake will tell you everything you need to know.” The stamp on her arm was now glowing purple.
“What?”
“Just make sure that whatever you do, the fake does not make the chosen one tear the world apart.” Jasmine replied as the stamp was searing into her skin, “I’m sorry I can’t stay longer. I have to go before Caleb finds me here. Just trust that everything will be alright and things will be alright.”
With that, Jasmine got up and phased through the wall, clearly going to rush back to Caleb’s lair.
“We should go back.” Roman cleared his throat as he picked up the spell book Jasmine left. “There’s a lot we need to tell the group.”
“Okay…” Virgil was quieter than he first started off as.
The two walked back to find Janus and Remus talking to Logan. Logan was trying his best to show that he enjoyed their company and as Roman let his gaze fall on his brother, He watched Logan's eyes flicker for a second to purple. Only a second, but it was good enough to know that whoever was in front of them was a fake.
The fake smiled at Virgil and fake Logan's gaze landed on Roman. The fake smiled at him.
“Logan…? What are you looking at?” Patton asked, squeezing his hand. Roman narrowed his eyes at the boy, even though Patton couldn’t see him.
The fake blinked and forced his gaze away from Roman, “Sorry, for a second, I thought I saw my brother. I guess it must be an effect left from being near Caleb.”
“I’m sorry we weren’t there.”
“No, I’m sorry. I tried to be the hero. Tried to keep you guys from getting hurt. If I could just figure out the mystery myself, I could keep everyone safe. I could maybe…bring back Roman. Maybe, no one would have to miss anyone, and I could heal Remus. And if I got hurt in the process, at least I could die knowing I helped make the wrong things right.”
Roman felt his heart pang. Even though he knew it was a fake, the things fake Logan said he hoped were true, so that when he did find him, he could tell his how wrong he was and how stupid he was to think they would ever not miss him. He had been down that path too. He had seen his brother in the clutches of Caleb’s hands as his friends were in danger, and he had seen the path he chose of his brother over his friends.
“...when I saved my brother, I hadn’t thought about how he would feel with survivor’s guilt. He knows he should’ve been the one dead, but instead, he’s the only one that persisted.” Roman murmured. “I wish…he just knew that I would’ve done it a million times over if it meant he was safe.”
Virgil stayed quiet, looking at the fake.
Fake Logan sighed, grabbing a notebook and pen nearby, “Caleb’s going to strike soon. I could see it. I got some information while I was there. There’s a prophecy. I’ve broken it down a bit.”
Logan scribbled the prophecy down, “Generation after generation, seek the red carnation. Throughout all the Sanders, look for the one that is a magic commander. The red carnation is the same as the magic commander. It has to be someone with powers, and it’s the end of the battle. It’s not a coincidence that Caleb's looking through the entire Sanders bloodline. He’s waiting for the one to lead him to the thing he wants. And from the brief conversation we managed to have, I found out that I’m the red carnation. Always have been, always will be. Red carnations represent passion, which I guess I used to have before...before my brother's death. If what you seek for is power, they will bring you to the pink hydrangea flower. I don’t know what he wants, but I do know one thing. The pink hydrangea flower is Patton. Patton has something he wants, and it makes sense since the pink hydrangea flower represents heartfelt emotion and that lines up with Patton's ideology. Lives lost and many crossed, a man willing to find the special one at any cost. That’s just Caleb. Succeed if every generation is decimated, or rue the day he was betrayed by the ones he dictated. I’m guessing he’ll only gain what he wants from Patton once I’m dead, and if I manage to survive, we’ll get some help.”
“What do I have that he wants?” Patton replied horrifically, “I don’t even have a power.”
“You do.” Roman finally spoke up, Virgil repeating his every word to Patton. “I’ve kept my mouth shut about this because I didn’t know what kind of chaos it would bring if you knew. It doesn’t make sense that you can’t cast any magic when you have one of the most powerful auras in magic. You wouldn’t be able to cast magic spells if you didn’t have any active magic.”
“...I do?” Patton raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”
Fake Logan turned towards Roman. While Patton was only looking at Virgil, Fake Logan was staring into Roman’s soul.
“It’s a power that’s so powerful that the world puts it on inactive mode. It would only take a lot of passion and feeling for you to unlock it and the first time you do, it will be disastrous unless you have someone else powerful enough to stop it.”
“Who would be powerful enough to stop it?”
“From what I’m guessing? Caleb.” Roman replied, “Especially if he got a hold of my soul, or Logan’s.”
“That’s not good then. We need to keep you two safe.” Patton replied worryingly.
“No. That’s not what we need.” Janus shook his head, “That’s too passive. We’ve been waiting too long. Now, it’s our time to strike. We need to find a way to have you control your power.”
Fake Logan was quiet through all of it.
“Okay…”
“Whatever we do, we need to sleep it off.” Remus stood up, “We’ll be heading off now. You’ll be okay, Logan?”
“I’ll be fine now. Thanks for coming to see me.”
The group walked out in silence. It was only when Roman was sure no one else would overhear that he motioned for Virgil to take everyone’s hands. Patton grabbed onto Remus’s, who held onto Janus, who in turn held onto Virgil’s. Once everyone adjusted to seeing Roman, Janus spoke up.
“That isn’t Logan in there.”
“You know?” Roman asked, surprised, “I was just about to tell you that.”
“Logan’s fate is regret. It’s a really rare fate. The only person I’ve seen it on recently is him. He regrets letting you die. He regrets not doing anything. He regrets being there for his parents. He regrets not holding onto his emotions. He regrets everything he’s ever done. That’s his fate, that’s how it’s always been. The boy in there isn’t Logan because there’s two fates that float above his head. It's love. Someone is controlling a human.”
“Yeah. I was going to say that. I saw his eyes flash purple.” Patton replied, “Besides, his magic feels different. It’s not warm and no matter how long I try to convince myself that I’m going crazy, I have this gut feeling that Logan’s still out there, trapped somewhere.”
“It’s the magic.” Remus murmured, “Roman told us he casted a spell right after he went missing. It led us to the hoodie and the blood, but after that, it was a dead end, but we all knew he was still alive. It was just a gut feeling.”
“He wasn’t limping on his foot, almost like it was healed.” Virgil remarked before taking out a spell book, “And also a relative of Ro's…decided to give Roman this book.”
“It’s a spell book.” Patton murmured. “Try it out, Roman. Family artifacts are more powerful with family connections. I also think about bloodline connections being more powerful.”
Roman grabbed the book from Virgil’s free hand, flipping through it before he came across a cool one. “A honorable king is he, change his clothes into one of a bee!”
He pointed at Virgil, who started to panic and opened his mouth to scream and yell about why he chose to practice on him. However, before a single sound could come out, a ball of magic shot above Virgil and burst, the magic particles coming down slowly and changing Virgil’s outfit.
“I hate it and I hate you,” Virgil huffed as he looked at his new outfit. “So it does work?”
“Yeah, we’d need to practice our powers.” Roman replied, “But some of these are pretty interesting.”
“Like what?” Virgil asked as everyone made a closed circle around him to look at the book.
“That one.” Patton stopped the book flipping and Roman read the description out loud.
“Hades and Persephone…it’s a spell that will allow the caster to shift from the living to the ghost world for a certain time frame. Someone wrote in it, and added the note that a ghost will shift into the living world for that time frame. The time frame determines the caster’s power. The more magic the caster has or the more powerful the magic is, the longer it can hold.”
“That would be good for you, Roman.” Patton replied, “When I can see you, I can feel your aura is strong, even as a ghost. People usually lose 30% of their magic when they die and become ghosts, but yours feels just as strong as Logan’s.”
“We’ve got to try out all of this and strengthen everything we have.” Janus replied, “Is there anything else your relative might’ve given you?”
Roman flipped through the rest of the book before a stack of folded papers fell out of the last part of the book. Patton knelt down to grab it, opening it with the help of Virgil’s hands before Roman stepped to widen the circle up so he can look at the papers as well.
“It’s details about everything about Caleb.” Virgil murmured.
“That might just save us.” Roman gaped, “When I went there the first time, I had no idea what I was going into. Even now, I’m blanking on those memories. We could all get out alive, and rescue Logan. We can change the prophecy, so he doesn’t succeed.”
“What would that entail?”
“Studying these notes behind Fake Logan’s back, and…something that might be incredibly dangerous.” Roman stared at Patton.
“Why are you staring at me?”
“It means unlocking your power, Patton, and maybe even causing the end of the world.”
“Fuck…” Patton let out, and it caused the tension to release from everyone as they all laughed. That was something Patton wasn't used to saying, but it was right in that moment.
“How do we do that?” Patton seemed determined.
“You’re willing to do it?” Janus was surprised.
“If it means saving Logan, I’d do anything.”
“Alright, lover boy, hold your horses.” Remus replied, “It seems more complicated than that."
“It means either we let Caleb play with your mind until you slowly go insane and unlock your power…or we try to do that. The only issue is that we don’t know how to stop you from ending the world.” Roman replied, throwing the spell book at Patton. Patton caught it before it could hit his face. Barely. “We don’t even know what your power is. All we know is that it’s powerful. Your magical aura is 10x the aura of Logan’s, who’s probably the next most powerful person. Even if we were to all put our powers together, there’s no way we could stop you from not using your powers. In a sense of desperation, people with magic will do whatever it takes. In your case, your sense of desperation will be unlocking the magic.”
A silence fell between all of them, the mood becoming somber.
“Let’s rest on this.” Virgil spoke up, “Come on, Ro. Let’s go home.”
“Okay…” was all Roman could say. He was exhausted too. He just wanted everyone to be happy again. He wanted things to be okay, but most of all, he wanted Caleb to get the fuck out of his world.
With that, the group separated back to their homes. Roman was expecting Virgil to go home. It was almost sunset and time for dinner. Instead though, he stopped at the museum.
“What are we doing here, Vir?”
“We both need a little pick-me-up. Your brother told me he always goes here when he’s feeling upset. Says it calms him down. Now get out. We’re going.”
Roman got out of the car with Virgil, and the two walked into the museum. Making their way to Roman’s exhibit, Virgil sat down on one of the chairs facing Roman’s last work.
“Your brother brought me here one day. While you were out trying to find anything relating to Caleb, we were always at school. Logan took that time to get to know us by making us stay late to find anything from our end on Caleb. I was so stressed over all of this plus the recent test that came up that one day, Logan just stopped me in the middle of helping his research and told everyone to go home. He dragged me into his car and drove me here. Told me everything there was to know about you. About all the stories behind your paintings and about every film in the museum. I swear, I had never seen him so happy than in that moment.” Virgil replied, “Then, he told me that this was your proudest work. You never told him the reason, but he could guess. He had been receiving his powers in flashes, and he saw the scenery. He saw you and another boy that he hadn’t ever met that looked your age.”
“...my soulmate. I saw him in a dream. No recognizable traits, but I knew he had brown hair and brown eyes. I didn’t see his smile, but for some reason, I knew it was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. There was so much purple too."
Virgil smiled and Roman’s heart dropped. There it was. There was that smile that he had been missing all his life. The smile he had been searching for.
“Then…for some reason, Logan told me that he knew the boy. At the time, he didn’t. Then, he met me and it all made sense once he found out I was a medium. I’m your soulmate, aren’t I?” Virgil asked, his eyes landing on Roman. Roman stared into his eyes, not wanting to look away. They were inches away from each other, but it was clear Virgil didn’t mind their proximity.
He didn’t know what to say, so he did the only thing he knew how to do. Speak his feelings. “Hades and Persephone, set my spirit free, let the two lovers of life and death meet once again, and with my fate written, lift the pen.”
Virgil’s breath hitched as Roman went to cup Virgil’s face, the two of them making contact for the first time. He could feel his breath on him and he knew he could feel the same.
The two sat there in silence, staring at each other. Then Roman broke it, “I’d really like to kiss you, Virgil.”
“Then do it, coward.” Virgil smirked. Roman quickly wiped his smirk away as he used his other hand to pull his waist closer to him and he brushed their lips against each other softly before he finally pressed them together.
As they separated, Virgil flushed, leaning his head against his chest. Roman chuckled as he held the boy close to him. After spending so long with him, it felt nice to finally hold his and tell him all that he wanted to say. It didn’t matter that he knew it would only be a few hours before he would miss his touch again. In that moment as he was holding him, he felt everything would be okay and that maybe they would get that moment one day where he was staring at Virgil in that grass field.
“God, how are we going to explain this to people?” Virgil flushed, “I can’t believe out of all the things I had to go ahead and do was fall in love with a ghost.”
Roman and Virgil stayed in the exhibit until Roman decided to activate the spell again to see if it would stop the spell. It did. The two walked out with a grin on their face.
Once the two had gotten ready for bed, Roman told Virgil that he wanted to stargaze. Virgil nodded, joining him a moment after, looking up from his driveway. In that moment, Roman willed himself to be in the living world again, just for a moment to allow Virgil to lean his head against his chest. He enjoyed the feeling of having the boy in his arms.
“Hey, Vir, can I confess something to you?”
“Sure.”
“That was my first kiss.”
“Me too.”
“I wish I got to spend time living longer. Maybe I’d be in college. Maybe I’d already be engaged to someone. Maybe…just maybe, I’d be happy. Maybe my brother would be happier than he has been. Maybe if I was alive, he wouldn’t have felt the need to separate and not make friends.”
“If you had to make the choice again, would you? Or would you let him die and live your life?”
“I’d make the same choice.”
“Hm. You’re a good brother.” Virgil smiled. “And a good person.”
“You’re a good person too. I wouldn’t have gotten here without your help. I would’ve probably been under Caleb’s control by now had you not taken me on that first day.”
“I didn’t take you in! You annoyingly intruded in!” Virgil scoffed, “But I’m glad I met you and got to this moment too. Thanks for giving me every reason to reach out to you.”
The two didn’t speak for the rest of the night, Roman only moving to pick Virgil up and carry his back to bed when he fell asleep. Once he was asleep, he realized how much he missed being alive. As he willed himself back to his ghost self, he decided now would be a good time to rest. He needed it for the next few days. ——————– prinxiety kiss (tbh this one is my favorite out of the three couples)

Rules for Free Sketch Day
DO NOT REBLOG. THIS IS ONLY FOR MY FOLLOWERS.
Tomorrow, Saturday morning December 17 will be Free Sketch day for my followers as a thank you for supporting this blog. To be clear, this is a SKETCH. It will not be inked, it will not be colored.
When can you start sending requests? When I get up Saturday morning, I will make a post that I am up and ready to draw and requests can be sent to my ASK BOX.
Who can request? This is for my followers. And you at least have to have an ACTIVE Tumblr account. No anonymous requests. And by active, it needs to have at least one post. Either a reblog of something, or just a post of your own. Something. Anything.
What can you do with your sketch? Whatever you want. It's yours. You can ink and color it. You can commission me to ink and color it if you're willing to pay me. You can do whatever you want shy of claiming you drew it yourself.
Rules:
First of all, please keep in mind, though I am giving out free sketches, no one is entitled to a sketch. I reserve the right to refuse any sketch request for ANY reason. That being said, my goal is to answer as many requests as possible, not reject them. The rules exist so I can draw requests easily and quickly. The faster I can do them, the more sketches I can give to people. (I have no idea if I'm going to get 3 or 30 requests. I'm trying to prepare for all outcomes.)
1. You cannot submit your request until I post on Saturday morning. Anything received before I get up will be deleted. And it must go to my ask box ONLY.
2. One request per person.
3. It must be TMNT only. No other fandoms.
4. Please specify which turtle universe/style you want. (Example: 2003, Rise, Bayverse) Otherwise, I will either skip or pick for you.
5. Three character maximum per picture.
6. No adult content. I will do sexy or sensual, but not 18 plus. I also won't do any weird fetish stuff. Even if the request seems clean, if it sets off my “This Is Fucking Weird” meter, I may reject it.
7. TMNT OCs are allowed. BUT you must provide me with links to reference pics of your character. I will not have the time to dig through your blog to figure out what they look like.

WIP Wednesday: Upcoming Group Think
As I mentioned in the tags of an earlier reblog, I’m working on the Thomas as Heir fic again. This is for two reasons: first being that I really do want to finish at least part one of this thing before I die of old age. Second being that the most recent similar fic has almost the exact same title as my working title, is part of a series with almost the exact same name as I was going to use, and has some details that are creeping much closer to what I have than anything I’ve seen before.
No, I’m not calling Fandom Copyright Infringement. I’ve not posted that info before, so there’s no way the other author could have copied me. Similarly, I was unaware of that project until it went up. This isn’t even a matter of great minds thinking alike, it’s more like two grade school kids being handed pictures of the sun to colour and reaching for the yellow crayon. Seriously, naming a story about a stolen kid after a Yeats poem is kind of a no brainer.
I do want to get this done before someone else accidentally writes the exact same story, though. I mean, there are only so many ways to do this thing. It’s bound to happen eventually.
(And no, I am not changing my titles. I’ve as much right to the yellow crayon as anyone else.)
Anyway, since I’m hitting the part of the narrative that was shot all to heck with my last brainstorming session and am basically back to the ‘throwing pasta at the wall and seeing what sticks’ stage, I will probably put a thing up in the next couple of days asking for thoughts and feedback, because that was kinda insanely helpful last time.
In the meantime - I WROTE EDITH’S POV AND I’M REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF FOR THAT!
-
“I don’t understand.” Edith frowned into the mouthpiece of the telephone. “Is something wrong with the baby?”
“No, there’s nothing wrong there,” her mother’s voice assured her, “or with Mary. They’re both in perfect health.”
There was a small noise behind her and she turned to find Bertie crossing the room, an anxious look on his face. He must have heard her last question. “Well it’s a relief.” She gave her husband a reassuring smile and he visibly relaxed. “But what else is so important that you can’t just tell me over the telephone?”
“We’ve a mystery on our hands,” the older woman replied, her tone both serious and coaxing. “And it involves the whole family. It’s quite complicated, so we’d like to only go over the details once. Your Grandmother is seeing if Rosamund can come, and I’ve already asked the Mertons. They’re free all week.”
“Well we can’t come down tonight.” Edith frowned, mentally reviewing her calendar. “We’re having the archbishop over to dinner, but we might be available tomorrow. One moment, let me ask Bertie.” Lowering the mouthpiece she said, “It’s Mama. She wants to know if we can come down for a day or two this week.”
“As far as I know.” It was Bertie’s turn to frown. “I’m tied up in meetings with several of the farmers in the morning, but I don’t see why we couldn’t be down there by about tea time. We’ve no other commitments that I know of until Monday, at least nothing we can’t reschedule.”
With a nod, Edith turned her attention back to the telephone. “We could be there for dinner tomorrow night and make a Friday to Monday out of it.”
“Wonderful, thank you, Dear.” The relief in her mother’s voice was palpable.
“What if Aunt Rosamund can’t make it?”
“We’ll tell you anyway,” was the promise. “And you’ll get to see us all, so it won’t be a wasted trip.”
“It’s never a wasted trip when we’re visiting you,” Edith laughed, despite the strange, mysterious circumstances. “If nothing else, it will be good to see Mary, before the baby’s born.”
“Who knows? Maybe the baby will be born while you’re here.”
“That would certainly be convenient.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Dear. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” The line went dead and Edith hung up. She felt utterly befuddled.
“What’s going on, Darling?” Bertie asked, his own expression as curious as she felt.
“I don’t know for certain,” she confessed. “Apparently there’s some sort of mystery going on and it’s all a big fuss. Mama didn’t want to tell me over the telephone.” She shook her head. “She was being very mysterious, which isn’t like Mama at all.”
“But the baby’s fine,” he confirmed, “and Mary?”
Edith sighed, unable to deny she was relieved that all was well in that quarter. Much as she and Mary had never gotten on, she wasn’t ready to bury a second sister. “She says so, yes, and she wouldn’t lie about that. Whatever it is, it’s something different.”
They looked at each other for a moment, then Bertie shrugged. “I suppose we’ll find out tomorrow, then, won’t we?”
“I suppose  we will.”

𝘏𝘢𝘪𝘬𝘺𝘶𝘶 𝘉𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺
Tumblr media
pairings - akaashi, iwaizumi x gn!reader
warnings - swearing, reader gets called clingy, small amounts of arguing, hurt comfort ofc
Tumblr media
AKAASHI
Chances are he got to engrossed in work because it’s not like akaashi to forget something like this
Really, he remembers almost everything when it comes to you so when you were still sat alone at 10pm on your birthday, you began to worry something had happened to him
There was no dinner ready and you hadn’t dressed up yet, thinking Keiji would come home and tell you what you were doing
Yet you found yourself ringing his phone for the 5th time that night, this time he answered
“What y/n I’m really busy?” His tone led you to believe he wasn’t in the best mood
You asked him when he would be home and that seemed to set him off
“I told you i had to do things today okay, I won’t be home until later I don’t get why you have to know what I’m doing all the time. Think about me for once”
And with that you hung up, it was obvious what had happened.
Keiji felt guilty yeah, but he did need to work and he knew that he could just apologise when he got home. Sure, it wasn’t like you to just hang up but he figured you were also tired from the long week and left it at that. It wasn’t until he opened his messages he felt his blood freeze.
There, screaming at him from the screen of his phone, was a text from bokuto that read ‘hey, y/n isn’t picking up could you say happy birthday for me man?’
He had to get home.
-
By the time the black haired man had arrived back home, he was soaked from the rain and biting at his nails nervously. The lights in the house were all off and he just hoped to god that you were still inside the house. Even though it would be perfectly within your right to not be.
The living room held a silence that he had never quite hated as much as he did now. The pile of openers cards from your friends seemed to taunt him from the coffee table. How had even atsumu remembered and he hadn’t? He was your boyfriend. He hoped he would still be when he finally found you. You were curled up on your side in your bedroom. Obviously not asleep but not showing any signs of acknowledgment either. Guilt tugged at his stomach.
“Y/n” he started, trailing off
What was he supposed to say to you? ‘Hey sorry I forgot your birthday and called you selfish’. Yeah, great going Keiji.
“Y/n I’m really sorry and I know that probably won’t make it better and I can’t take back what I said to you.” He drew in a shaky breath, “I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to forget about you I’ve just been working so hard and-“
A sob cut him off. His soft hand on your shoulder broke your resolve and you allowed him to turn you around.
“Just,” you sobbed, “please don’t do it again Keiji, all I do is think about you”
He wrapped his arms around your shaking form, pulling you into his embrace.
“I know, I should’ve been thinking more about you. I’m so sorry sweetheart, I promise I’ll make it up to you tomorrow”
Tumblr media
IWAIZUMI
Tumblr media
Hajime had always been a pretty busy person, this was evident ever since you started dating
Now it was his final year though, you had never seen him more stressed
So, you decided to show up to one of his practices on your birthday, for the past 2 years he had always left early or at least with you when it was a special date
And it was your birthday but that didn’t mean you couldn’t treat him too and you know how hard he had been working, so you made a bento
The moment you walked in to the gym it was like everyone but him lit up, the third years came over to say hi and even Kyoutani sent you a quick nod
You tapped your boyfriend on the shoulder and when he didn’t reply you went for a hug, only for him to move at the last minute
“Why are you here y/n?” He asked coldly
You explained to him that you wanted to come see him like always, not mentioning your birthday in case it was a joke, he wasn’t laughing
“A little clingy don’t you think? You text me all day and now you come and interrupt practice? Why are you so needy today damn?”
You just turned and walked out, hoping nobody had heard your conversation
“Hey Iwa aren’t you gonna leave early?” Matsukawa asked him at the end of practice.
“No, why?” He had calmed down significantly now and had forgotten what he said to you
“Uh… cause it’s y/n’s birthday?” Makki called from behind the net, “you do it every year, right?”
Iwa dragged his hands down his face. He had been too stressed to even remember what day it was let alone your birthday. And now he had forgotten you completely after making those comments.
“Why would they want to?” Kyoutani growled up from his sweeping, “after what you said to them”
A dozen pairs of eyes seemed to bore into his soul. Guilt had stolen his breath and his head was spinning but he knew he had to go and fix this before it was too late.
-
You were sat on the cold step of your house, sobbing into the sleeves of one of your boyfriends jumpers. You should probably give that back. If your conversation earlier was anything to go by then he wouldn’t be keeping you around much longer. Staring at the fabric, now stained with your tears, you thought about what he said. Maybe you were clingy.
“Y/n!”
You looked up to see a very out of breath Iwaizumi runnning towards you, face flushed
Looking down, you grumbled a quick ‘what?’. You were hurt and the balloons attached to your bag were smacking against the side of your house as if taunting you.
“You know Iwaizumi” he flinched at the use of his last name, “if you wanted to break up, you could at least have the decency not to do it on my birthday”
“No y/n, I would never- I don’t want to break up” he cried, words were failing but he carried on, “I’ve been so stressed looking after the team and Oikawa with his knee I just forgot”
When your eyes met it felt like his heart had broken in two. Your eyes were glistening with unshed tears and you had obvious tear tracks down your face. A nod let him know it was okay to carry on.
“Please, I’m sorry baby I didn’t mean to forget, can we try again tomorrow? I’d never hurt you on purpose”
Tears began running down your cheeks again.
You nodded and the man pulled you in for a kiss, not caring about the taste of your salty tears. Murmuring ‘I love you’ against your lips, he pulled you in as close as he could to you. Like he would never let you go.
It might not have been the best birthday but you were content knowing he would always try his best to make up for the things he does.

i feel like im annoying lol but here i am again 🥴
🥴 how do da boys react to a super bimbo mc like shes busty, sweet, innocent, helpful as much as she can be and doesnt really realize when people are hitting on her, she just thinks theyre being extra friendly. (Tamaki, izuku, shoto, denki, bakougo) or any of ur choice
Sorry if I’m being annoying ( •᷄ὤ•᷅)? and tysm
bimbo s/o
character(s) : bakugou katsuki, todoroki shouto, amajiki tamaki (bnha)
probably (?) part one // ?
legend : [Y/N = your name] female! s/o, quirk not specific
headcanon type : fluff, crack (x reader)
note(s) : sooo 🤩 it’s my birthday tomorrow, not excited about that?? not sure! but im definitely gonna post more tomorrow, just because
»»————- ♡ ————-««
Tumblr media
bakugou katsuki
you didn’t seem like his type tbh. you’re kinda an airhead, and you’re sweet and helpful to everyone
and awfully innocent,,
so, you seemed like the person that bakugou would try and stay away from, but nope!
not in this case. i’m not sure what conspired in this explosive blond’s head, but he had a oddly specific attraction to you
he used to hate being around you, but it’s also quite entertaining being around you but why, you may ask?
not only are you super nice, and helpful, but you’re very likable too! which caused you to get secret admirers, and fanboys
but you also so happen to be clueless as fuck, so katsuki would always stick around— obviously very amused, only to tell you what their true intentions are
“what do they mean, go out? like,, outside?”
“no, dumbo. they wanna date you.”
“..like the calendar?”
“hah?? are you dumb?” he actually hated how oblivious you were at first, but he just got used to it
but this clueless airhead trait of yours is what he also hates, because when he developed feelings for you— he’d have to tell you
and,, he’s not the best with being direct with romantic stuff. so— you can see how that went.
he ended up confessing you in the most direct way he could’ve said it, but you still. didn’t. understand.
“fuck sake, i want to be your significant other. your fucking lover, the bitch that’ll be with you until this dumbass brain of yours stops working.”
okay, he was a little too direct, but at least you know his feelings!
when you both finally get together, everyone is shocked. like,, you, the sweetheart that likes helping people— dating thee bakugou katsuki??
everyone thought you were threatened to date him, because you didn’t understand other people’s advances— but in reality, katsuki just told you what he felt
straight from the heart.
also, since you’re also quite busty, katsuki loves sleeping on them— he literally won’t sleep, until he has his head resting on those milkers of yours
“maybe this is all you’re good for, huh? a fuckin’ head rest. there might not be anything up there, but at least it gives me some good fuckin’ sleep.”
he,, doesn’t mean that. you’re useful in so many other ways, but he loves pretending that he thinks that way, because of your replies
“ah, yes! i’m fine with being your head rest, katsuki. rest well, love!”
you’re not hurt, because he makes it a point to tell you multiple times a day that you mean lots to him.
but he gets super mad when people tell you that you’re stupid. because he can only tell you that!!
Tumblr media
todoroki shouto
you also didn’t seem like you’d be his type,, everyone thought he would’ve wanted someone that’s smart as momo, or something similar
but he’s very content with being with you, for reasons he can’t seem to figure out.
he has his habit of watching you help people from afar, and he couldn’t help but smile whenever he engages in conversations with you
yeah sure, you might be more of an airhead than most people— but you have a heart of gold! and that’s what gathered his attention
sometimes, he’s quite clueless to some social cues— but even he can connect the dots
which you can’t seem to do. but you’re in luck! shouto’s usually the one that tells you what they mean
it’s something he loves and hates, only because of how popular you are with people in general.
sometimes, shouto debates if he should even tell you what they mean— because well,, he likes you.
usually, shouto would interpret things to you like this
“,, they like you,, romantically.”
“shou, are you sure? they look like they wanna be my friend!” he lets you call him by his first name, just because of how content you look by calling him ‘shouto’
he ends up whispering something into your ear, and your eyes light up in realization. “oh! so how princess bubblegum likes marceline?”
“,, yeah.”
but being shouto todoroki has it’s advantages. he isn’t afraid of being as direct as he could possibly be.
“may i have the honor of being your lifelong partner?”
“..?”
“oh, romantically. i’d love to be your lover, Y/N.”
“..oh! that’s what you meant.”
the way he sees you stumble with your words, as you pace back in forth— completely flustered by his words
makes him smile
and it all ends well when his friends see that his wallpaper is literally him laying down on your chest
which is something he always wanted to do
“shouto,, did you finally confess?!”
“yes. they said yes.”
they’re not really surprised that you understood, courtesy to shouto’s bluntness.
he is your protector against all of the people that make you seem useless. man literally lashed out when his father asked him to date someone with ‘more intelligence’
“Y/N may not be the definition of being book smart, but Y/N’s not useless!”
in short— he’s the bimbo protector! he’ll always be patient around you, and he would never dare to dumb you down.
Tumblr media
amajiki tamaki
oh lOrd, please help him
you’re so kind, sweet, and helpful. you’d help anyone— regardless of their personality. and that’s what made tamaki interested in you
but you’re also very popular. which he could see why— since you’re attractive in a unique and special way.
tamaki absolutely disliked the idea of your kindness being taken advantaged of. i mean,, the guts of some people!
but he also hated being the one to break the news to you good or bad
he’s not good with the blunt stuff either, and he might’ve been worried about being around you— because well,, you look like you wouldn’t even hurt a fly.
“tamaki, what do they mean by ‘coming home with them for a nice time’ do they.. want to play mario cart with me?”
he looks like he needs to pass out, but he ends up telling you anyway. he’s just lucky that you could hear him.
but he sighs in relief when you end up kindly declining
nejire and mirio are SO amused by this pairing. i mean, it’s an interesting dynamic! how could they not be invested?
yet, they refuse to even explain things to you, especially when tamaki’s around to do said explaining
because apparently, ‘it’ll help you socialize more, especially with Y/N!’
but remember when i said that tamaki wasn’t great with the blunt approach? yeah— he’d have a heart attack, just trying to explain his feelings
“i— uhm how do i say this,, would you like t-to go out for some dinner with m-me?”
“oh sure! i should go tell mirio and nejire” you’d say that with a smile, and it felt like he was going to pass away on the spot.
nejire and mirio were the ones the tell you that ‘no, tamaki doesn’t want to be friendly with you, because he wants to romantically date you.’
and it felt like forever when they were explaining how and why, while tamaki was sitting in the corner.
but thank GOD! because you like him too!
super hesitant on resting on your chest, i mean,, to him, it looked like the nicest pillow for the deepest sleep! but he wasn’t sure if that’d be okay
because no!! to!! taking!! advantage!! of!! Y/N’s!! kindness!!
speaking of that, despite the fact that he’s socially awkward— he will not hesitate on defending you from any haters!
like, when people say that “tamaki and Y/N are such an awkward couple. tamaki’s super awkward, it looks like there’s nothing in Y/N’s brain. maybe she’s brainless”
because how dare they. not everyone is book smart— but that doesn’t give people the right to call you stupid!
“Y/N’s not brainless! she’s kind, helpful, and the sweetest p-person i have ever met. i suggest you take that back!”
in short— it gives him heart palpitations just having to explain things to you, but at the end of the day, it’s all worth it, if he can be with you

Tumblr media
Your Spotify list of redundant tracks flowed through the apartment as you sat typing at your small desk in the corner of the front room. The boxy space was as oppressive as any office space, another reason for your voluntary work at the gallery. Vanessa let you in the studio to paint. Without the privilege, you wouldn’t have the space for your easel.
You stretched your fingers and rubbed your eyes. You felt dizzy from staring at the screen, even with night mode on. The work was monotonous and made you restless. You wanted a pencil or brush in hand, a canvas before you, not this blaring laptop. You yawned and took a sip of your lukewarm water.
Your phone vibrated from across the room and you checked the time. Your lunch started soon but no one was really keeping track. As long as you got your assignments done, it didn’t matter when you chewed on toast and disassociated.
You got up and grabbed your phone from the corner table and leaned against the arm of the couch. You remembered how Marcus woke up there and grumbled as he lifted his head in pain. You couldn’t really feel bad for him going into work hungover. He embarrassed you and it didn’t quite sink in until after Clark left you to stare down at your drunk boyfriend.
An unknown number showed on your screen and you answered tentatively, ready to hang up at the first sales pitch. Your name came from the speaker and you recognized the deep voice in an instant. It took you back to the night before and the canvas hung on the wall.
“I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Clark said, “I only just had the paintings hung and I thought… well, I thought you might like to come see them in their new home.”
“Um…” you chewed your thumb, uncertain how to respond.
“Sorry, I know I can be a bit… to the point,” he laughed at himself, “how are you?”
“I’m good, just… taking a break.”
“You working?”
“Yeah, but I work from home,” you said as you touched the side of your neck, “I could… I could come see them but it might be a while before--”
“When are you finished work?” he asked bluntly.
“Four but I… maybe another day.”
“I don’t mean to be pushy but I did have something else to speak with you about,” he said, “a commission, like I mentioned.”
“Oh?”
“I kinda wanna get it started sooner than later, it will probably be pretty time-consuming,” he explained and you heard a clink and a soft sip, “I don’t wanna get into details on the phone but I promise, you will be compensated nicely.”
“You can’t wait until tomorrow?” you wondered.
“I suppose I can but it’d have to be during the day,” he responded, “why don’t you take some time to figure it out and get back to me by two? You can text me through this number.”
“Erm, sure,” you said uneasily, “I’m sorry, it’s just… very sudden, I don’t--”
“You can bring the boyfriend,” he said casually, “if you like.”
“He won’t be… home,” you said carefully, “I’ll let you know. Thank you.”
“I look forward to hearing from you,” he replied, “have a good day.”
“You, too,” you said and the line died.
You put your phone down and took a moment. Good things rarely happened to you. You struggled so long it was hard to think that might change. The skeptic in you told you there was something behind it all. That it couldn’t possibly be your art.
You went back to your computer and sighed as you waved away the screensaver with your mouse. The blinking cursor made you want to believe it was your big break.
🎨
You texted Clark at one and at four, you were in an Uber. Marcus drove his car to work and you stuck to buses and the underground when you could. The address was at least an hour out, the house among those estates on the edge of the city reserved for the upper echelon. You’d only ever seen the sprawling yards on your way to the next town.
When the car finally turned up the drive and you passed beyond a low brick wall, you felt entirely out of your depth. You tipped the Uber but didn’t feel too bad with the check from Vanessa sitting soundly in your account. You clutched the strap of your bag and walked along the curve of the brick work towards the stairs.
“Hey,” you stopped as Clark called to you, your ankle still tender from the night before.
You glanced over as he came out of the large garage and peeled off a pair of leather gloves. He smiled as he tucked them into his jacket pocket. You watched him and played with the clasp on your bag.
“Just got back from a drive,” he said, “I almost got carried away. I’m glad you made it.”
“Yeah, no problem,” you replied.
“Well, come on, let me show you around,” he waved behind you towards the front doors, “we’ll go on a tour and then we can talk details.”
“Wow,” you uttered mindlessly as you climbed the stairs to the door but kept the weight on your uninjured ankle, “this place is huge.”
“My contractor went a little crazy,” he scoffed, “but I can’t complain.”
He led you through the doors and directed you to the left. In the front room, your work was hung along the opposite wall, arranged in a way that drew the eye to them. You stepped closer and peered up at your work with a hint of awe. They looked even better in a place like that.
“I had my interior designer make the final call on where to hang them,” he explained, “I hope you don’t mind, I gave her your details. She said she had clients who might be interested in your work.”
“Really?” you breathed, “that’s… too nice.”
“Oh yeah? One day, you’ll be sick of rich pricks like me,” he grinned, “I’ll show you the pool, that’s usually the main attraction.”
“Sounds good,” you said as you followed but he paused and watched your stunted gait.
“I forgot, we can go slow,” he offered, “how’s the ankle?”
“I’ll make do,” you affirmed as you neared him, “just need to get my steps in.”
🎨
As you finished the tour of the second floor, you slowed along the long hall and admired the work of artists you only ever saw in museums. You couldn’t help but be enamoured by the historic blots of paint. You almost forgot where you were as you leaned in to read the initials beneath the pastel flowers.
“So,” Clark’s voice brought you back, you almost blanked him out entirely in your mind, “I think you might have noticed the empty space above the fireplace in the front room. I was hoping you could fill it.”
“Oh?” you looked at him and smiled nervously, “did you have something in mind? A landscape or--”
“Well, your portraits are great. I like the old world style. I was hoping you might do one of… me,” he suggested, “I know, it’s vain but why not?”
“I mean, yeah, I could do that,” you said.
“I’ll pay hourly plus materials,” he continued, “three hundred an hour.”
You almost choked at the number. You blinked and swallowed through your surprise.
“Even a small portrait would take at least twelve hours,” you warned, “are you sure?”
“I know it’s a lot of time for you, so… I was thinking, if you have to miss work, I’ll factor it into your rate. I would really like to get the project started as soon as we can,” he put his hand on his hip as he looked down at you, “the only thing I need from you is a list of materials. I’ll have them waiting for you here.”
“Here?”
“Well, yeah, I figure it makes most sense,” he turned his palm out.
“Hmm, sure, I prefer my own brushes but… you know I can just buy the stuff myself--”
“Ah, no, I want it to be perfect. You send me a list and I’ll have my assistant go out and get it all ready,” he assured, “How does Sunday sound?”
“Sunday?” you blanched. That was two days away.
“Like I said, Marcus is more than welcome to come with you,” he offered, “I’d hate to keep you from him too long.”
“I guess Sunday works,” you squeaked, “I’ll talk to Marcus.”
“Great,” he said coolly, “well, that’s business. How about a drink to seal the deal?”
“I don’t know, I should probably get back,” you fiddled with your bag against your hip.
“One drink won’t hurt,” he said, “go on, call the boyfriend and let him know you won’t be much longer.”
“I… thanks,” you murmured.
“You’re humble for an artist,” he joked as he sidled by you, “once you grow an ego, you’ll be unstoppable.” He neared the stairs as you turned to watch him, “I’ll be at the bar, waiting. You like gin?”
“Sure,” you answered as you pulled out your phone, “I’ll see you down there.”
🎨
When you told Marcus about your new side gig, he was even more excited than you. You were anxious and slightly hesitant. You hated to jump in feet first and risk losing more than a few tubes of paint. What if the work wasn’t good enough?
Marcus was more than willing to come with you when you told him about the size of the place. He knew by the area that it was extravagant. You sat in the passenger seat with the most expensive bottle of wine you’d ever bought cradled between your legs. You hated to show up empty handed after all of Clark’s generosity.
Marcus got lost and went down the wrong driveway before you righted your course. As you drove up, you were once more overcome from the rich rosebuds and sparkling fountain at the centre of the mosaic. You gripped the neck of the bottle and got out as Marcus whistled in awe.
“You weren’t kidding. This place is fucking nuts,” he swore, “I should’ve worn the tux from my brother’s wedding.”
“Please, Marcus,” you rolled your eyes, “let’s both try not to break anything.”
“You’re the clumsy one,” he chirped, “shit, you’re so lucky. You get to hang out here and paint all day? God, I wish I had an ounce of artistic talent. I’d trade it for code in a minute.”
You climbed the steps and clanged the large knocker on the right door. You waited a moment before an answer came and Clark appeared on the other side and beckoned you inside. He smiled as he shook Marcus’ hand.
“Thanks for joining us,” he said, “I would’ve felt awful stealing your girlfriend on the weekend like this.”
“Are you kidding me? She said you had a pool and I snuck the swim shorts into the backseat,” Marcus chuckled and you nudged him with your elbow.
“See?” Clark arched a brow, “the pool is always the seller.”
“Here,” you said as you held out the bottle of red, “for everything you’ve done and welcoming us into your home.”
“Ohhh,” he took the bottle and looked over the label, “I got a spot for this right behind the bar. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, I brought my brushes,” you patted the canvas bag on your shoulder.
“Mmm, yeah, well, I’ll just put this away and we’ll give Marcus the grand tour. Then I’ll get you situated,” he assured and rushed off.
He returned and pointed Marcus through to the front room, “you’ll see, just over here,” he directed him to your paintings.
“Oh, wow, babe,” Marcus marveled at the hung portraits, “you really did it.”
You smiled bashfully and Clark peeked over at you and winked. You squirmed as your cheeks burned and you turned away as he beckoned Marcus past the mantle.
“It’s a big place,” Clark said, “I’d like to get you started before noon.”
Clark led you along the same path as days before and slowed as you came back to the top of the stairs. He turned back and clapped his hands together.
“Marcus, if you wanna hop in the pool, we’re gonna start just in there,” he pointed to the one door you hadn’t looked through, “that’s the studio.”
“What about you?” Marcus asked.
“Well, I’ll be a part of the process so I’m afraid I will be just as busy but if you need anything, Nina, she has a crooked nose and mean mouth but don’t let her fool you, she’ll get you whatever you need,” he said, “just don’t track in water from the pool or she’ll string you up.”
“Oh, well, that doesn’t sound too bad. Some alone time in the sun and a pool,” Marcus grinned, “I really couldn’t ask for anything else… except you, babe.”
“Sure,” you scoffed, “go, have fun.”
Marcus kissed you quickly and thanked Clark again before he excitedly barreled down the steps. You scratched your neck as you looked back to your host, and you guessed, your new boss.
“I’m sorry about him. He can be such a kid sometimes,” you said.
“Nah, it’s fine,” he waved it off, “so, you ready to see your workspace? I kinda wanted it to be a surprise. Also, a bit last minute so it’s not perfect… yet.”
“Uh, yeah,” you answered, “can’t wait.”
He motioned you over to the tall dusty rose doors and hooked his fingers in the slotted handles. He slid them open and revealed an airy room with a tall ceiling and long windows. An easel stood facing the sun streaked glass, an immense canvas bigger than yourself, bigger than him, propped up on it. There was a ladder nearby and the table was set with a rainbow of paints and a large pallet.
Your lips parted as you neared the easel and stared up at the canvas, “you were right, it’s gonna be a lot of work.”
“I hope it’s not too much,” he said, “but you name your price. We’ll make it work.”
“No, no, I think for what you’re paying, I’ll do just fine,” you put your bag down daintily on the table, “so, uh, a portrait, I guess that means…”
Your voice trailed off as he went to the upholstered chair across the room, at an angle so you could see him from your vantage. Behind it, hung a velvet curtain to add to the scene and a bust on a pedestal. It felt surreal, like a dream.
You turned and pulled out the brushes, “I think you’ll get more tired than me, just sitting there.”
“I’ll make it through,” he assured as he sat, “is there anyway you’d like me to sit? Chin up, or…”
“Hmmm,” you turned to look at him, “I think… if you just put your shoulders back and… did you want a profile or--”
“I was thinking front-facing,” he stared at you steadily, unflinching as his eyes stuck to you, “just like this.”
“Perfect,” you said nervously and looked back to the table. 
There was water to rinse your brushes, rags, pencils, blending sticks; everything you needed and more. You took a pencil from the bunch and pulled over the ladder. You climbed up and looked over at Clark as he sat stoic and still. He looked picturesque in real life, you expected paint would only lend to his figure.
His eyes met yours and you turned to start tracing the basic shapes onto the canvas. You had to stop and steady your hand as you did. His gaze made it hard not to tremble.

Luz Appreciation Week 2022 Prompts
Told you I’d get them to you by tomorrow? Just needed time to think.
Now, here are the prompts for Luz Appreciation Week 2022. You can do whatever you want with them. Whether it’s to write a quick one shot or draw something, it doesn’t matter. I’ll still like and reblog it all just the same, just so everyone else can see the amazing work that you made.
And, as a reminder, this starts on March 12th until March 18th, all to countdown The Owl House’s return on the 19th. Are we all clear? Perfect. Now, here are the prompts:
Day 1 (March 12th)-Dominican Republic Culture: One aspect about Luz that doesn’t get touched upon much is that she has a Dominican heritage. And let’s fix that four our good friends in that corner of the world who love The Owl House. Write a story about Luz embracing her culture or draw her in an outfit that reflects it. Anything should work, and I suggest you do your research. I mean, Google is RIGHT THERE.
Day 2 (March 13th)-Fangirl: If there’s one thing we know about Luz, she’s a nerd. So let’s have her do some nerdy things, whether it’d be cosplaying or reading/writing fanfics. Because you cannot tell me that she hasn’t done that at least once.
Day 3 (March 14th)-Siblings: I think it’s safe to say that Luz has three siblings at this point. King’s like the little brother she’s never had, Hunter’s the older brother she never wanted, and Vee is all but Luz’s adopted sister. So, let’s show some of the love that Luz has for one (if not all) of her siblings!
Day 4 (March 15th)-Bad Ending: “WHY?!” Because Season 2B is apparently the more heart wrenching half of the season. Might as well ease into it. The actual question is, what counts as a bad ending? Is it Luz being stuck in the demon realm away from her mother? Is it Luz stuck in the human realm, away from her friends? Or is it that she’s stuck in neither and she’s trapped in that in-between place, never to see anyone she loves again? Anything’s possible, and I’ll leave it to you decide how to go about it.
Day 5 (March 16th)-Using the Noggin’: Want to know something? Luz is smart. Like, she finds a lot of glyphs on her own and manages to win the day by outthinking her enemies rather than outsmart them. Let’s honor that, shall we? Have Luz study a new glyph, have her outsmart an enemy. Anything works as long as it proves one thing: Luz is smart.
Day 6 (March 17th)-Awesome Girlfriend: I had to--I HAD TO! But, just like last time, I will clarify: This is the only day you’re allowed to use Amity. Or, at the very least, use her in an excessive amount. AND keep Luz as the focus. Like, show how she would prepare for a date or what she’d go through to give Amity a gift. Don’t use this excuse to use Amity out of proportion.
Day 7 (March 18th)-Help from the Helpless: The best thing about Luz is how she’s a light upon the lives of everyone she’s met. So many lives are better because of her, and she often risks a lot to make everyone happy. To capture that, show just how much she cares about the people she loves. Have her help Eda, Willow, Gus, Lilith, HER MOM. Anyone would work. Just as long as it proves how much of a shining ball of light that Luz really is.
And those are your prompts. Unfortunately, I won’t participate this time around. I just don’t have it in me to do so. But, like I said, I will share any and every thing you post so more people can see your incredible work. Just remember to type “luz appreciation week 2022″ in the tags, and I’ll find it.
I repeat: Type “luz appreciation week 2022″ exactly as it is in the quotes.
I’ll see what you’ll all make in March. Have a good day.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 - akaashi, iwaizumi
Pairings: Iwaizumi, Akaashi x gn!reader
Notes: this was written at like 2am and edited (half assed) when I was half asleep so I’m very sorry if there is any mistakes, love you guys
Warnings: harsh language, reader gets called clingy, minor arguing, most of this has been done before lmao, very hurt/comfort
Tumblr media
― Akaashi
Chances are he got to engrossed in work because it's not like akaashi to forget something like this
Really, he remembers almost everything when it comes to you so when you were still sat alone at 10pm on your birthday, you began to worry something had happened to him
There was no dinner ready and you hadn’t dressed up yet, thinking Keiji would come home and tell you what you were doing
Yet you found yourself ringing his phone for the 5th time that night, this time he answered
“What y/n I’m really busy?” His tone led you to believe he wasn’t in the best mood
You asked him when he would be home and that seemed to set him off
“I told you i had to do things today okay, I won’t be home until later I don’t get why you have to know what I’m doing all the time. Think about me for once”
And with that you hung up, it was obvious what had happened.
Keiji felt guilty yeah, but he did need to work and he knew that he could just apologise when he got home. Sure, it wasn’t like you to just hang up but he figured you were also tired from the long week and left it at that. It wasn’t until he opened his messages he felt his blood freeze.
There, screaming at him from the screen of his phone, was a text from bokuto that read ‘hey, y/n isn’t picking up could you say happy birthday for me man?’
He had to get home.
-
By the time the black haired man had arrived back home, he was soaked from the rain and biting at his nails nervously. The lights in the house were all off and he just hoped to god that you were still inside the house. Even though it would be perfectly within your right to not be.
The living room held a silence that he had never quite hated as much as he did now. The pile of openers cards from your friends seemed to taunt him from the coffee table. How had even atsumu remembered and he hadn’t? He was your boyfriend. He hoped he would still be when he finally found you. You were curled up on your side in your bedroom. Obviously not asleep but not showing any signs of acknowledgment either. Guilt tugged at his stomach.
“Y/n” he started, trailing off
What was he supposed to say to you? ‘Hey sorry I forgot your birthday and called you selfish’. Yeah, great going Keiji.
“Y/n I’m really sorry and I know that probably won’t make it better and I can’t take back what I said to you.” He drew in a shaky breath, “I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to forget about you I’ve just been working so hard and-“
A sob cut him off. His soft hand on your shoulder broke your resolve and you allowed him to turn you around.
“Just,” you sobbed, “please don’t do it again Keiji, all I do is think about you”
He wrapped his arms around your shaking form, pulling you into his embrace.
“I know, I should’ve been thinking more about you. I’m so sorry sweetheart, I promise I’ll make it up to you tomorrow”
Tumblr media
― Iwaizumi
Hajime had always been a pretty busy person, this was evident ever since you started dating
Now it was his final year though, you had never seen him more stressed
So, you decided to show up to one of his practices on your birthday, for the past 2 years he had always left early or at least with you when it was a special date
And it was your birthday but that didn’t mean you couldn’t treat him too and you know how hard he had been working, so you made a bento
The moment you walked in to the gym it was like everyone but him lit up, the third years came over to say hi and even Kyoutani sent you a quick nod
You tapped your boyfriend on the shoulder and when he didn’t reply you went for a hug, only for him to move at the last minute
“Why are you here y/n?” He asked coldly
You explained to him that you wanted to come see him like always, not mentioning your birthday in case it was a joke, he wasn’t laughing
“A little clingy don’t you think? You text me all day and now you come and interrupt practice? Why are you so needy today damn?”
You just turned and walked out, hoping nobody had heard your conversation
“Hey Iwa aren’t you gonna leave early?” Matsukawa asked him at the end of practice.
“No, why?” He had calmed down significantly now and had forgotten what he said to you
“Uh... cause it’s y/n's birthday?” Makki called from behind the net, “you do it every year, right?”
Iwa dragged his hands down his face. He had been too stressed to even remember what day it was let alone your birthday. And now he had forgotten you completely after making those comments.
“Why would they want to?” Kyoutani growled up from his sweeping, “after what you said to them”
A dozen pairs of eyes seemed to bore into his soul. Guilt had stolen his breath and his head was spinning but he knew he had to go and fix this before it was too late.
-
You were sat on the cold step of your house, sobbing into the sleeves of one of your boyfriends jumpers. You should probably give that back. If your conversation earlier was anything to go by then he wouldn’t be keeping you around much longer. Staring at the fabric, now stained with your tears, you thought about what he said. Maybe you were clingy.
“Y/n!”
You looked up to see a very out of breath Iwaizumi runnning towards you, face flushed
Looking down, you grumbled a quick ‘what?’. You were hurt and the balloons attached to your bag were smacking against the side of your house as if taunting you.
“You know Iwaizumi” he flinched at the use of his last name, “if you wanted to break up, you could at least have the decency not to do it on my birthday”
“No y/n, I would never- I don’t want to break up” he cried, words were failing but he carried on, “I’ve been so stressed looking after the team and Oikawa with his knee I just forgot”
When your eyes met it felt like his heart had broken in two. Your eyes were glistening with unshed tears and you had obvious tear tracks down your face. A nod let him know it was okay to carry on.
“Please, I’m sorry baby I didn’t mean to forget, can we try again tomorrow? I’d never hurt you on purpose”
Tears began running down your cheeks again.
You nodded and the man pulled you in for a kiss, not caring about the taste of your salty tears. Murmuring ‘I love you’ against your lips, he pulled you in as close as he could to you. Like he would never let you go.
It might not have been the best birthday but you were content knowing he would always try his best to make up for the things he does.
Tumblr media
Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this it wasn’t reread or anything so there might be a lot of mistakes I’m sorry but I’m happy if you liked it mwah!
Remember that reblogging helps content creators darlings and that ily very much
