and you know what the thing is, is i don't even think the biggest problem is going to be that buck's jealous. eddie knows buck. that's the love of his life, but more than that, he just knows him intrinsically. he knows how he is. he knows he gets insecure. he knows he has abandonment issues, like. he knows. he has never once hesitated to give buck assurance and he'll give it again (that scene in buck's loft in 7x05). the problem is going to rise when eddie's relationship with tommy is still a problem after their talk, and neither of them are going to know why. becuase from eddie's pov, it's going to be like, well now you're just being ridiculous. i already told you i love you (in so many words). i already told you we're solid, i already told you nothing's going to change and you're still being weird and i don't like it. and from buck's pov, it's going to be like. i realize we had this conversation, but i still don't like this relationship. i still want things to go back to the way they were. i'm still hungry for your attention and you're not giving it to me.
and so it's like. that's where the wires get crossed. because at some point, buck is going to have to examine his thoughts and feelings again, and he's going to be like, well this man and his relationship with eddie has been the only thing that's consumed my thoughts for weeks; therefore, i must want him desperately. and it's like. yes. solid thinking there, buck. definitely no other options it could possibly be. nuh uh. makes perfect sense. 1000/10 excellent problem solving, great job, buckaroo. dumbass.

TOMMYINNIT
he's been your biggest fan since day one, literally
he just so happened to be one of the first couple viewers you pulled while you began speedrunning minecraft
eventually you guys became friends and stuff
he literally watched your speedruns go from an hour and a half to half an hour so quickly
and over that time he's been boosting your stuff and everything
you ofc make other content and collab w other streamers, mostly Tommy and his friends
one time, you get a speedrun down to 25:03, your best so far and he's in a vc w you with your stream pulled up
literally screams when he sees the ender dragon explode into xp
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT, YOU GOT DOWN TO 25 MINUTES, THAT WAS SO GOOD, OH MY GOD, Y/N/N!"
you sit there like "omg I just did that that's my best record ever"
afterwards you play roblox for a bit with him (meep city) and throw a party to celebrate
you meet a bunch of viewers/chatters/fans as well bc you publicized yours and Tommy's usernames so they could join your server
"You're a pro now, y/n! even better than Dream!"
if he was right next to you rn, he'd be giving you the biggest kiss in the whole world
you'd been spending so, so long to get below a half hour or so and even just 5 minutes below that made you so ecstatic, same with him lmao
he literally makes 40 tweets about it and posts about it on his Instagram story
he also doordashes you some fast food + like three large waters
he's literally your biggest fan ❤️❤️❤️
when I tell you he's so fucking sweet to you
he's fully aware you're very serious with your video games and you try to be the best you possibly can
like he'll come over while you're training for a valorant competition with foolish & punz and just hang out behind you and watch
he'll go to snapchat and snap aimsey a pic of u grinding on valorant with the caption "look who's grinding valorant again"
star will respond with a "Jesus Christ how many hours do they have on there??"
he'll reply with a video of him asking
"how many hours do you have on valorant? like, all time"
you didnt even hesitate or think before you replied with "253"
"HOLY SHIT DONT YOU THINK YOURE GOOD ENOUGH?"
"amount of hours doesn't equal skill, tommy"
TUBBO
you're like a pro bedwars player istg
like techno and purpled type pro
he plays with you sometimes but he mostly cheers you on
the 18 in a row win streak?? holy shit that was a celebration in itself
he was in your chat spamming "HOLY SHAUT Y/N" "OMG PLS PPSK PLS PLS GRWT TO 19" "HOYKEHIT"
he can't even type he's so excited for you
you end up losing that streak to an adrenaline rushed bad move
next time you won't rush yellow 💀
months later, once you got to a 19 streak he was actually on vc with you and started getting your chat to become your cheerleaders
literally had 45000 cheerleaders for a bedwars streak + him who made a whole chant????
when you actually won the 19th you just freaked the fuck out
you couldn't even bare trying to get to 20 because you were shaking so much and you'd end up fucking up
you literally show your stream your shaking legs and hands
the entirety of your chair was soaked in stress sweat from your thighs 💀💀💀
he's seriously your biggest fan
everytime you do something relatively pro-gamer-esque he makes at least 5 tweets, a YouTube community post, and a post on his insta for ppl to go watch it and how awesome you are
he makes complications of your best bedwars moments on an alt YouTube account too LMAO
he did a lot of math but rounded up that you had 150 or so hours of bedwars streamed, plus the hours of grinding skill you'd done off camera
"only 150??"
dude even chat is somehow surprised
makes you a whole poster and brings it to your house to celebrate your 19 win streak its so cute
it's made a feature on every stream since because it's up on the wall right behind you and in perfect view for everyone to see 🫶
RANBOO
good god they're actually worried something is wrong with you
no way super Mario odyssey can be so fun to you
speedruns went from maybe 2 hours down to 58ish mins or so in just a couple months
you were friends prior, but you got back into smo and got addicted with trying glitches and bugs you knew about
once you reached like 58:05, (about 13th on the leaderboard) you quit
good lord there was no getting better lmao
then came the challenge to get all the moons and speedrunning the dark side & darker side of the moon
they got on a vc with you while you were collecting moons so you could deal w a lot of distraction, and asked you to check the hours time
the way this shit said 834 hours.
the amount of joke-yelling and "I'm not mad just disappointed" convo came out of that
"It's not my fault the game is fun!"
"that's more than a year! that's nearly two straight years!"
"I've been playing it since release in my defense. I probably grinded up half of that within the past year or two though to be honest"
never the less, they always cheer you on and always have to boost your content
for the leaderboards, you're around 70th place on the dark side, about two hours, and for the darker side, around 80th, so about 3 and a half hours
they literallt watched you do 10+ hour streams and got on vc to voice concerns of burnout or scoliosis
"I'm fine! shit! damnit!"
"Chat please tell them to go sleep, this is wild. go play Mario kart with Bill at least"
"Yeah, come play Mario Kart with me!"
"where the fuck did you come from, I didn't even hear you join???"
"I've been here for half an hour!?"
BADLINU
you're freakishly amazing at building in the Sims 4
like dude you're an idol in the Sims community it's so weird
you build like those humongous mansions and find new furniture glitches and new designs and share them and stuff
dude don't even get me started on your sims
most the time you make your friends but they're never inaccurate
you can dedicate a five hour stream just making the fucking characters dude
he'll sit next to you so you can properly make his face and he'll get all tingly in his head as he watches
when you're making a giant new build he'll tweet about it like 4 times and leave a link to your stream LMAO
"guys go watch y/ns stream they have polls set so you guys can actually decide on design choices"
he's actually your biggest fan omg
he'll be in your chat like "omg hi y/n"
"Hey Freddie!"
joins a vc with you and starts absolutely bombarding you with compliments
dude can't go one stream without taking 372882 screenshots of you
"Dude how do you have motivation for this?"
"It's fun! if I can't be a designer in real life then I'll be one in the digital world motherfucker"

Contrary to what appears to be popular opinion, season 4, Vol. 2 Steve is the best version of Steve.
But I understand the urge to see him as ooc, especially his continued love for Nancy, because his behavior flies in the face of how most of us are conditioned to respond to heartbreak and humiliation. I think people struggle to understand how Steve could ever let himself love Nancy when she humiliated him so badly in season 2.
Let's remember that Steve first humiliates Nancy at the end of season 1 when he lets his friends spray paint her name on the movie theater marquee after he thought Nancy betrayed him. Then he tries to humiliate Jonathan and receives a swift ass kicking: aka the first of Steve's many head thumps that lets him know he needs to course correct.
Steve atones for that behavior: he regrets his choices, dumps his terrible friends, and goes to apologize to Jonathan to make amends. Then, in the face of danger, he saves Jonathan and Nancy's lives.
It's Nancy's turn to humiliate Steve in season 2 when she calls him and their love "bullshit" and sleeps with Jonathan days after, but she never atones for it like Steve atoned for his behavior, which is why she doesn't seem to "deserve" Steve.
Instead, we see other teens taunt Steve about how Nancy has weakened him. This begins in season 1, when Steve dumps Tommy H as a friend, and Tommy responds that Nancy has turned Steve into a "pussy." In season 2, after Nancy calls Steve and their relationship "bullshit," Billy tells Steve during basketball practice, "I heard you used to run this school...King Steve, they used to call you. Then you turned bitch." When Nancy runs off with Jonathan to get justice for Barb, Tommy H taunts Steve in the gym showers that despite being broken up for one day, Nancy is with Jonathan and hasn't returned. Tommy realizes Steve didn't know this, and he just laughs in his face. Literally.
Meanwhile, Nancy sleeps with Jonathan and is smiling the morning after, very self-satisfied, without a thought to Steve, who is bringing her flowers to apologize, telling Dustin that she's special, and offering himself up as bait to the demo-dogs to protect a bunch of kids he barely knows. Then he sees Nancy and Jonathan together and feels the electricity between them and tells her to go.
Throughout all of this, Steve comes out as the one to face humiliation and change because of it. To accept that the alpha males at his high school no longer see him as top dog but as a pussy and a bitch because he fell for a "princess" who left him for a "the freak's brother." And after all of this, Steve has the audacity not only to thank Nancy for that humiliation but also leave himself open for more heartbreak by telling her she's always there in his dreams of the future.
Very few of us are conditioned to experience at that kind of humiliation and be grateful and look in the eyes of the person who put us through that and say, "I still want you." So now, for some Steve fans perhaps, he's coming off as a pussy and a bitch, just like Tommy H said. Nancy has made him soft, because anyone else would realize she's not worth it. She doesn't deserve him.
But Steve says the opposite to Nancy in Vol. 2 ; he say he didn't deserve her...but maybe now he does because he has the capacity to be challenged, be thrown from his comfort zone, and grow stronger. That's just so powerful. If more men, if more people in general, were able to lead with that kind of strength and vulnerability, we'd be in a much better place. But most of us don't move through the world like that. When humiliated, we lash out, we protect ourselves from future heartbreak.
This confession puts Nancy in a position to address the unfinished business of season 2, mainly her side of her relationship with Steve and what her future may look like. How does she go from telling Fred she's annoyed Jonathan isn't in Hawkins with her to telling Jonathan when he returns that she's glad he wasn't with her? Do she and Jonathan really want the same things if Jonathan says he doesn't want to leave his family to follow a dream that isn't his? What were and are her feelings for Steve? Has she ever explicitly said she didn't love him or did she not love the version of him that aimed for safety and complacency? So many questions that deserve their own posts.
I usually loathe love triangles. I avoid them at all costs, but this one feels different because it's about character development not regression or stagnation.
All of this is confirmed in Steve's conversation with Nancy in the woods where he basically tells the audience that his arc is not about being the best babysitter but about evolving because of the pain he's experienced (namely because of Nancy) to become a better, fully realized version of himself. In that moment, Steve (for me at least) became a damn masterpiece of a character.

New Town, same problem -> first day of school.
Summary: it's the first day, new people! New classes! New reputation... Unfortunately riding in with the School "freak" it's the best first impression.
⚠️ Tommy and carol being well... Tommy and Carol, asshole king Steve, Eddie being Eddie, cursing, and teachers picking partner projects.
Once again! @the-snarky-writer was the inspo for this! Go look at their stuff I think it's great! And they are awesome!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You finished off the curls in your shaggy-cut hair before grabbing your bag and leaving to meet Eddie outside.
Your sister had yet to leave for her school that was across from yours and your mother still asleep, you grabbed a fruit off the counter before walking out of the quiet house.
You smile at Eddie as he opens the passenger door of his van, being as dramatic as he normally is.
You laugh getting inside giving an exaggerated "thank you!" And he smiled at you playing along.
It wasn't long before he was getting into the driver's side and starting up the loud van and blasting his music that you both screamed the lyrics too.
~~~~••~~~~~~~~••••~~~~~~~~••~~~~
Pulling into the school before the van was put in park, you looked over seeing Eddie smiling at you, "you ready for a day in hell?" He asked in a silly yet sinister voice, being sure to move in close wiggling his fingers at you.
You rolled your eyes, "bring it on."
"That's the best friend I know and love!"
You didn't think too much of what Eddie said about it being Hell, of course, Eddie would find this place hell as all he wanted to do was play his games and live a chill life.
But you noticed that as soon as you stepped out of the car with Eddie, all eyes were on you.
You just tried to shrug it off.
But if there was one thing you hated, it was being stared at for no reason.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Well, would you look at that," Steve said with a huff of amusement as he leaned against the side of his car waiting for his newest 'fling' Nacy.
"Look at what?" Carol asked as she got out of Steve's car to stand next to her boyfriend.
Tommy.
Tommy had placed himself next to Steve one hand supporting his weight as he leaned into the car with one of his hands placed on his hip.
"The freak brought another freak," Steve Muses Tommy laughs along even if he didn't find Steve's joke super funny.
He was busy looking at the new eye candy that pulled in with the schools so-called "freak"
Whoever was with the freak wasn't too bad to look at Tommy's thoughts, and it seems Carol could read Tommy's thoughts as she looked up to his for a moment and back to the two classmates dressed in black heading into the school.
"Big deal, we have another freak to keep in line; who cares?" Carl scoffs taking Tommy's hand and wrapping it around her and moving in closer to him.
Steve looked at Carol and opened his mouth to speak but Nacy had walked over to the car effectively making any harsh or snarky words that were about to leave Steve's lips die on his tongue.
Tommy just rolls his eyes, he liked Steve better when he spoke his mind and wasn't afraid of losing some chick because of something he said.
He didn't get it.
••••~~••••••••~~~~••••••••~~••••
Tommy sat in class bored out of his mind as the teacher went on about chemicals and safety and whatever else he was blocking out.
But what caught his attention was the teacher telling someone to introduce themselves, that was Tommy's indication that he definitely missed something interesting, well.
As interesting as you could get in Hawkins, the one place where nothing interesting ever happens...
It was you, in your shaggy curls and dark clothes.
Tommy looked you up and down, you weren't so bad.
Different, but not bad.
Different was good in his opinion, it made you stand out and make you unique to the rest of Hawkins.
However, depending on why you're different will determine if you were complimented for your uniqueness or bullied by the rest of Hawkins.
As much as he wanted to applaud you for making such a big impression the first day, you walked in with the freak Eddie, you looked like him, and had some of his mannerisms.
That means you, like Eddie. Were a freak.
And being popular in Hawkins was like being in a tiny lifeboat of popular people like him. And while some enjoyed it that way. It only made Tommy anxious.
If anyone sees Tommy so much as smile at you in a non-malicious way or taunting way the way they all did to Eddie when they laughed or talked about him they would through him right over the side.
You told the class your name and where you were from before taking an empty seat behind Tommy.
Tommy resisted the urge to turn around and get a good and up-close look at you.
The teacher explained how a new partner experiment would be the ongoing work for the next few weeks and started randomly calling out names to partner together.
"You two are already sitting close to each other so why don't you two work together."
Tommy was kind of happy to be able to interact with you without having to go out of his way to do it, he was just going to have to be a bit careful when talking with you in front of the class.
He knew people were watching him, to see how THE Tommy Hagan aka King Steve's right-hand man felt about the new freak of Hawkins; Tommy made sure to give a little show of an annoyed sigh making sure to roll his eyes before He turned around him his seat to face you.
You just gave a small smile that was slightly awkward as even though you had just gotten here you could tell from the way the class would watch him, he was at the top of the social ranks and you being a kid wasn't a good way for him to meet you.
You'd have preferred he not meet you at all and just ignore you completely.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The teacher had given you after-school work and Tommy passed you a note in his surprisingly neat and pretty writing.
'We'll study at my house-' along with his address
Maybe Tommy wasn't gonna be that bad.
The rest of your day was a real breeze, just staying in the background ignoring everyone else while they practically burned holes into you.
As soon as you got home you made something to eat and made sure to leave some leftovers for your mom and sister before leaving to ride to Tommy Hagans house.
°°~~~~°°°°°°°°~~~~°°
When you got there he had let you into his home with a smile, which slightly through you off.
"Welcome, we can work in the living room or my room, my parents aren't home so it doesn't really matter." He explains with his pearly teeth still blinding you.
"Oh umm, the living room is fine!" You say sitting down on the couch as it was open and pleasing to look at.
You didn't want the first study to be in his room, you did not know him well enough and would rather not go through the god-awful experience of having to sit in him a room that was a much more enclosed space.
You were not ready to be that close.
But if this was Tommy Hagan...
This Smiley, giggly, and welcoming goofball of a boy?
You felt that you weren't going to hate Tommy Hagan as much as everyone else seems too.

Okay, things I lose my mind about in glass 26.
1. Niki! She’s doing the tattoo! She’s putting up with Tommy even though she hates his guts just because Wilbur wants him there! She barely acknowledges his presence. She’s constantly annoyed but keeping it in. Also great job on showing Niki’s annoyance when Tommy bumps into the tray. And I think she was also slightly annoyed that she’s have to make the design smaller to put it on Wilbur’s wrist (which Tommy suggested) but that makes Wilbur happy, so it’s fine.
I’d have to go back and check, but I think she literally only directly talks to Tommy in the last segment and she only looks at him once. Which, fantastic job with that, because even when trying to calm Wilbur down, both of them are just talking to him, they don’t really communicate with each other (unless I missed something or Wilbur doesn’t notice) they just take turns talking to him based on what they know about him.
Also, Tommy kinda ‘forgets’ Niki is there when he mentions some things like the night market which she did not know about and will have questions about. Also, bringing up Jack was a bad move especially since he still hasn’t properly apologised. There’s also the whole. Niki knows Wilbur’s name debacle vs. The very awkward silence after “I’m sure he told you first”. I hope the realisation that Niki was the first person Wilbur willingly told his name to stings. I hope it stings because he took that opportunity away from himself and he never even got the privilege of being told he’s allowed to use it. Like we can argue about how necessary it. Was or not but the point is that Tommy so sort of finally getting to the consequences of that decision (the more negative side that is).
Not to mention how the awkward silence confirms to Niki that Tommy wasn’t told, but he still knows. (I’m not sure how much she knew about that, but she has opinions about Tommy, his pushiness and disrespect for other peoples boundaries. Those opinions did not improve with this conversation. Which we see in the last segment.
You always manage to make me feel bad for Tommy in these kind of situations even though I know he deserves it. Like he’s trying to extend the olive branch not realising he’s burned that bridge down complete and waited long enough to let the rubble crash into the ravine below. There’s nothing left to repair. Niki hates his guts. None of this was about him, it’s purely for Wilbur’s sake. And the thing that sets her of and makes her throw Tommy out is the fact that 1. He sticks around after the very clear dismissal to try again and 2. [“I figured. Just- like, I know shit’s not great with us right now because of… yeah, but-”] he doesn’t even have the guts to say he tried to kill her best friend. He’s constantly dancing around it. And 3. He’s still not apologising!
-🌲
YEAHHH I knew I wanted to show the tattooing scene, and then I also knew that tommy had to be there to support wilbur through it, which then led me to the interesting realization that tommy and niki were going to be forced to be in the same room. and of course that creates this very poignant tension that runs under the entire tattoo session that wilbur only partially acknowledges because he's more focused on, y'know, having an emotional breakdown over getting a tattoo and severing himself from the pythian tenets. so I wanted to show niki's annoyance in subtle ways, including tommy bumping into the tray and niki doing her damnedest not to snap at him
she does actually look at him at one other point during the session. it's when wilbur is having his freak out over his body not being his niki and tommy share a look before they both move to comfort him in their own ways (which wilbur also notices but it's a very quick 'blink and you'll miss it' sentence) that is the only other time she looks at him before they're leaving. it's only for wilbur's sake.
tommy didn't necessarily forget that niki was there, it was just that his worry for wilbur overrode any potential fallout he could have with niki finding out about the night market. he was focused first and foremost on grounding wilbur and calming him down.
the name moment was so small but so important. tommy finds out that wilbur has willingly told other people his name since tommy found it out, and realizes that if he had just been patient, he could've been the first to be actually told. but he didn't. now technically speaking, if tommy hadn't brute-forced his way into finding out wilbur's name and using it, it could've taken 6+ months just for wilbur to tell him in the first place. like, it would've taken so much longer to get to the point he's at now, if he'd ever even get there at all. so it was kind of a necessary evil, but it still had consequences.
obviously niki doesn't know exactly what happened with the name thing between wilbur and tommy, but that awkward silence let her know that it's not as simple as wilbur telling him. and yeah like you said since she already knows tommy is pushy about stuff like that, she has a vague idea that he might've either forced wilbur to tell him or found it out on his own somehow. that definitely didn't help her opinion of him in the slightest.
(story game voice: niki will remember that)
yuppp tommy's own immaturity makes it so he doesn't even fully realize that it's too late to try and extend this olive branch. far too late. niki hates him for the thing he did that he can't even say out loud. it's meant to make you feel bad for tommy because again, his own childishness gets in the way of him realizing just how badly he's fucked up. but also that's entirely his own fault. he's 18 and needs to understand the gravity of his actions.

A New Adventure
So, here is the promised fic! As stated, it's an Eddie Munson x Henderson!Sister fix it fic, because we're all mad about how season 4 ended. I hope you enjoy it, and remember likes and reblogs are greatly appreciated!
The Outcasts Masterlist
You were out by your car, smoking a cigarette and playing Motley Crue’s shout at the devil at top volume. Your hands drummed against the steering wheel in time to the beat laid down by Tommy Lee. To everyone else, you probably looked like a maniac, jamming out to your favourite band in your car. Alone. But you’d never cared what they thought. The people of Hawkins had some good points, but mostly they were small-minded assholes who hated anyone different.
And you had always been different.
You’d always been an outcast, a misfit, a rebel. Never really fitting in, at home, at school. And you liked it that way. You did you; your style, your hair, your makeup, your music, your hobbies. Your younger brother, Dustin, was much the same, though more nerd than weirdo. Although, now that he was in high school, he was moving into weirdo territory. He was still adorable though, and he hated it when you called him that. Naturally, you called him that all the time, because what else are big sisters for? 
A sudden loud banging on your door made you jump. You turned around to find Dustin laughing his head off at you. You rolled down the window, glaring at him angrily.
‘You shithead. I am so not covering for you with mom anymore,’ you hissed. 
‘Aww, come on y/n! That’s not fair. You only cover for me when it’s serious,’ he complained.
You stubbed your cigarette out and folded your arms. ‘Oh? And what about last week when I forged mom’s signature on your latest D-?’ 
‘One time! One time I asked you-’
‘Well, it was more for mom than you. What would happen if she found out her poor baby Dusty wasn’t the little genius she thought he was?’ Your voice was heavy with sarcasm. 
It was a constant point of contention between you and your mom. It was very clear that Dustin was the golden child, her favourite, no matter what. While you were the daughter she was not expecting and didn’t really want. You were never sure if it was because you’d been an accident, and your parents had to get married, or because you were the freak of the family - even with Dustin’s penchant for nerdiness and his love of all things science and learning, you were still the freak. You’d out-freaked him from the moment you were born, according to your mom. 
You and she had never gotten along as a result. And it had made you more than a little resentful of the attention she lavished on your little brother. But Dustin didn’t deserve your anger, and you had never blamed him, not even once, for your mother’s behaviour. You and he were as thick as thieves. He told you about school and D and D, and his girlfriend, Suzie. And you showed him what real music was and how to not care what other people thought and to just be himself. As a result, your relationship was stronger than ever. 
It did of course help that you’d saved him from certain death a handful of times now. When everything happened with Will, you were the first person Dustin had come to. When he found Dart, you were the first person he told. You’d gotten separated when everything went down at Starcourt. You’d been with Nancy, but you’d kept in contact via the radios and you’d helped keep him safe from the Russians. Dustin was basically your best friend. Not that you didn’t love Robin, who’d you’d known since kindergarten and despite your differences you’d stayed friends all that time, but Dustin was family. 
And you took your job as a big sister very seriously. With maximum teasing, of course.
‘Hey! No fair! I am a genius,’ Dustin protested.
‘In all things but history, apparently,’ you said, rolling your eyes and lighting another cigarette.
Dustin coughed pointedly until you gave him the finger. And then he smiled at you. A sudden beam, directed right at you, puppy dog eyes and all. He wanted something. 
‘So, I need a favour.’
‘Of course you do. What is it this time? Gonna build a robot to take over the world?’
‘No, although that would be really cool-’
‘Got another D?’
‘That hurts, y/n. That really hurts.’
‘Want to go to a party and need to sneak out?’
‘Well, it’s a kind of party-’
‘Running away to be with Suzie forever?’
‘Tempting, but no.’
‘Well, spit it out already. I don’t got all day here, Squish.’
‘I hate it when you call me that.’
‘I have always called you Squish. You will never stop me. I am too powerful.’ You mimed karate chopping your palm, making him roll his eyes, but he was smiling all the same.
‘I need a favour for tonight’s D and D game.’
‘I’m not baking again. Last time took forever.’
‘Look, you know it’s all teenage guys. We eat a lot. We’re growing.’
‘Uh-huh. Still took me all day.’
‘I’m not asking you to bake.’
‘Okay, you get a point towards your favour.’
You glanced at the clock on your dashboard and turned the engine off upon realising the time. You climbed out of the car, making Dustin back up hastily. You locked the car and started off towards the high school, your brother trailing behind hurriedly. 
‘So the championship game is tonight, and Lucas is being all Lucas about it.’
‘Well, it sounds like a big deal to him.’
‘He’s on the bench y/n! How is that a big deal?’
‘He’s still gotta be there.’
‘Yeah, but we’re at the end of Eddie’s sadistic campaign. We’re literally about to finish it, and now Lucas can’t come because of the game. And we already tried asking Eddie to move it, but he was already pretty revved up-’
‘Yeah, I saw his little performance in the cafeteria. That was really something,’ you said, grinning. ‘I especially liked the devil horns he did at Jason. I thought that was a nice touch.’
‘I’ll tell him you said so. But back to my life, we need a sub for Lucas tonight. And I was wondering, since you’ve played before, I mean, you taught me to play, so you know what you’re doing, and-’
‘Dustin, is this rambling going anywhere?’ You flicked your cigarette away and turned to face him outside the entrance to the school, your arms folded and an eyebrow raised as words spilled out of his mouth a mile a minute.
‘Right, sorry. Would you come to D and D tonight and play with us so we can finish this campaign and not wind up with all our characters dead on the floor?’ He flashed you his best puppy dog eyes, and they were pretty good.
You pretended to think about it for a moment, tilting your head to the side, just to make him sweat. You were supposed to be meeting Robin at work, but you hadn’t made solid plans. She wouldn’t mind if you explained that Dustin needed you. She was very fond of him, too. And it had been a while since you’d played. Your old group from middle school had moved away, or turned away from D and D and got in with the popular crowd. You’d taught Dustin to play because he always wanted to know what you were doing, and he seemed genuinely interested. 
You’d even DM’d a few of their first campaigns until Will and Mike got the hang of it. You’d need to dig out your old character sheets, and you’d need to borrow Dustin’s copy of the latest rulebook, so you could go over it before the game tonight. But you really would do anything for your brother, and that included attending Hellfire Club last minute so he could keep his character alive. And besides, you knew Eddie. Knew him as in you’d seen him around, had a few classes together and recognised a fellow outcast and chatted once or twice, and put up with Dustin’s non-stop chatter about him from the moment he joined Hellfire. Eddie was nice and funny. So tonight would at least be somewhat fun for you.
‘Sure. I want a t-shirt though,’ you said, watching as Dustin’s jaw dropped.
‘Really? You’d play? You’ll come?!’ He all but yelled at you in his excitement, practically jumping up and down. 
‘I meant what I said about the shirt, though,’ you called as you walked away. 
‘I’ll get you one!’ 
You laughed as you waved goodbye, watching Dustin manically fist pump the air. You really did love your little brother. 
Dustin kept his word and turned up with a shirt for you an hour after school was over. You were in your room, trying to decide which character to use for tonight’s game. You had a few to pick from, but were partial to your half elf assassin known as Lady Nightingale. She was chaotically good, ferocious, and an expert in poisons, making her a lot of fun to play. Plus, she was good for sneaking and messing up enemy plans. You took your D and D seriously, and you knew from Dustin, so did Eddie. Which meant you needed to be prepared. 
Dustin threw the shirt at you and it hit you in the face. When you turned a glare his way, he held his hands up in a gesture of peace.
‘My bad, sorry y/n,’ he said hastily. ‘Eddie had a spare shirt, so he said you could wear this. Though he was curious as to why you were insistent on the shirt.’
‘Gotta look the part,’ you shrugged, leafing through your character sheets again. ‘And you guys all wear yours. I’d stick out like a sore thumb. Not that it would be anything for me to be bothered about, but there’s this guy causing problems and I figure wearing the shirt will make him back off real quick.’
‘What guy?’ Dustin asked, rushing to sit next to you and almost crumpling your character sheets. He winced. ‘Sorry. But this is the first I’m hearing of this.’
‘He’s on the basketball team,’ you told him, rolling your eyes. ‘So he’s convinced he’s some kind of god. Personally, I think he sees me as a challenge. Thinks if he can convince the weird girl to go out with him, it’ll make him look manly or some shit.’
Dustin snorted. ‘And he doesn’t know what the word no means?’
‘More like he thinks being persistent and annoying the ever loving fuck out of me will get me to go out with him despite my steadfast refusal.’ You rolled your eyes again, finally deciding to stick with Lady Nightingale. You’d already looked through the rule book and caught up on the changes to this edition, and read Dustin’s notes on Eddie’s campaign so you wouldn’t be lost. 
‘Want me to get Suzie to hack into the school and change all his grades to F’s?’
You laughed. ‘Nah, I’ll just kick him where it hurts if he keeps it up after tonight. But thanks for the offer. I should get ready.’
‘And I should radio Suzie.’
‘Tell her I said hi.’
‘Of course.’
You took a shower and got dressed while Dustin spent an hour on the radio with Suzie. You picked out black leather shorts and fishnet stockings and your doc martens to go with the Hellfire t-shirt. You did your makeup and messed about with your hair until you were satisfied it looked right. Feeling ready, you headed to the kitchen to eat dinner before you and Dustin left to get Mike and Erica. Your mom questioned Dustin about what he was doing tonight, but didn’t seem to notice you were there. Not even when you lit a cigarette after you’d finished your food. And she hated that you smoked.
You and Dustin picked Mike and Erica up and then drove to the school. People were piling in for the game, though it didn’t start for another hour or so. You and the boys ignored them, heading for the basement where Hellfire was allowed to hold their games. You weren’t paying a lot of attention to where you were going, too busy rummaging through your bag for your dice (a sparkly purple set that gleamed in the light). You felt someone grasp your shoulder and pull you around.
You came face to face with Jimmy, one of the guys on the basketball team and the one that wouldn’t take no for an answer. You rolled your eyes and folded your arms, ready to just kick him and make a run for it. 
‘What are you wearing, Henderson?’ Jimmy asked, mouth open and eyes wide. 
You smirked. ‘What? You don’t like my outfit?’ You fake pouted and did a twirl, winking at him. ‘I happen to think it suits me.’
‘Since when did you belong to that weird-ass cult?’
You raised an eyebrow at him. ‘Cult? Since when is Dungeons and Dragons a cult?’
‘I’ve read stories. It’s all in the newspapers. It’s all about Satan. A nice girl like you shouldn’t be mixed up in crap like this,’ he said, moving forward as you took several steps away from him until your back hit the wall. 
‘Well, you know what they say about Satan, don’t you?’ Said a voice. ‘He has eyes everywhere.’
Eddie was leaning nonchalantly against the doorframe that lead to the basement. He winked at you and you smiled gratefully at him, thankful for the interruption and the opportunity to walk away without having to beat Jimmy up. Not that you’d be bothered if you had to. But if Eddie’s arrival distracted him and meant you could escape with minimal interaction, that was a win in your book. The less you had to do with him, the better. 
‘You look good in my shirt,’ Eddie grinned, and you twirled in place for him, making him smirk smugly at Jimmy. 
Jimmy went red in the face and took a step back. ‘You’re wearing his shirt?!’
‘I’d say it looks pretty good on me too,’ you replied, ignoring Jimmy. You pushed past him and walked towards Eddie. ‘You coming?’
‘Sure,’ he said, waving to Jimmy. ‘Later, ball boy.’ 
That set you off, giggling as you took the stairs down to the basement. Eddie grinned at you. ‘Dustin never told me his sister played D and D.’
You shrugged. ‘I was the one that got him into it. My middle school party all disappeared in high school. I DM’d a few times for Dustin when his party was starting out. But I haven’t played in a while.’
‘So you’re saying you’re rusty?’ Eddie asked, an eyebrow raised as you stepped into the basement proper. 
You raised an eyebrow back. ‘Are you doubting my abilities, Munson? Because that sounds like a bad idea to me. A. Very. Bad. Idea.’ With each word, you stepped closer, until you were so close you had to tilt your head up to look at him. 
‘Nah. But I’m sure Dustin told you how hard this campaign is.’ He said, eyes flicking down to your lips and back to your eyes again as he spoke. 
‘Sadistic is the word he used,’ you smiled, meeting his warm brown eyes. 
Eddie grinned. ‘Yeah, that fits.’
‘Hey!’ 
You both turned lazily to look at your brother, who was glaring at you both. ‘You can have your little catch-up or whatever later. Let’s play.’
Eddie laughed and went to take his seat. 
‘A throne? Little on the nose, don’t you think?’ You said as you took your own seat at the end of the table. Eddie only winked at you. 
You gave Erica a hug hello. You’d formed a strong bond after last summer, swapping tips for messing with your brothers. Dustin introduced you to the other members of the party, who all mumbled their hellos. When you looked at Dustin quizzically, he just shrugged, as confused as you were. When you looked back at Eddie, he was smirking knowingly. You shook your head at him, though he was smiling. 
The game got underway, and you understood almost immediately why Dustin raved about Eddie so much. As a Dungeon Master, he was incredible. He was a showman, through and through, and he didn’t waste a second of his time. He had you all hooked from the moment he spoke, and you felt yourself sinking into the world he created through words, voices, and actions. He never seemed to sit still, and though he was sadistic at turns, he was also acutely aware that you were playing for fun. There was never a dull moment, and you were mesmerised. 
It all lead to a tense moment where you, Erica, and Dustin were the sole remaining party members. Dustin missed. You shaved off a few hit points. But it was Erica who rolled a D20 and scored a critical hit, thus ending Vecna’s reign of terror. You all crowded round and congratulated her, patting her on the back and pronouncing her the Queen of D and D, which she took as her due. As she should. While the others were talking over the campaign and generally just being loud and excitable, you helped Eddie clean up. 
‘That was amazing, Munson, I gotta say,’ you said, smiling up at him as you stacked chairs together. 
Eddie grinned at you. ‘Well, I am amazing, yes.’
You had to laugh. You shook your head at him as you gathered up the trash left sprawled over the table and dumped it in the bin. ‘I meant the campaign, and your performance as DM.’ 
‘Amounts to the same thing, doesn’t it?’ He asked, playing with his chocolate curls. 
You smiled. ‘Sure, I guess I can let you have that.’
‘Can I expect you to be attending more of these? Or are you one and done?’ He leaned against the table, long legs splayed out in front of him. His eyes were on you as you bent over to pick up your bag, gathering your dice and character sheet and stuffing them inside. When you turned to face him, stretching out the kinks from sitting in the crappy chairs the school left in the basement, his eyes immediately moved to the strip of skin on show as your shirt rode up, and to the tattoos etched there. 
You didn’t mind Eddie looking at you. It wasn’t like he was bad to look at himself. With those curls, the tattoos, and the rings on his hands. You’d never known you could find hands so attractive before. But there was something about Eddie Munson. Something that drew you to him, almost like you recognised a kindred spirit. And there were very few of those in Hawkins. But the way he looked at you was different from other guys. When they stared, you felt violated. 
When Eddie looked at you, it was like he was seeing all of you and wanted to explore every part. It was a heady mix of desire and admiration. And you couldn’t remember ever having someone look at you that way before.
‘You won’t mind if I tag along?’ You asked, though you were pretty sure you knew the answer already. 
‘What and miss out on seeing you in my shirt and therefore pissing off ball boy?’ You laughed and Eddie’s eyes lit up. ‘Seriously, what do you even see in him?’
You punched him lightly on the arm, and he chuckled. ‘Asshole. You know that’s not what’s going on here.’
‘I know,’ he said softly. ‘You need me to be a knight in black armour. I’m your guy.’
You raised an eyebrow. ‘Black armour?’
‘Way more metal.’ You laughed, and he grinned at you. ‘Plus, I’d look cool with a sword.’
‘Maybe I’ll bake sword cookies for the next meeting.’
‘Seriously?’ Eddie stood up hastily, his head dipping down to meet your eyes. ‘Because the last ones Dustin brought were amazing. Like, super amazing. We basically had a fight over the last one. We had to roll for it in the end.’ 
You giggled. ‘I’ll make sure to make plenty then.’
‘You would be our queen, if you did,’ he said very seriously. 
‘Hmm, does that mean you’d kneel at my feet?’ You asked, looking up at him and batting your lashes. 
Eddie’s voice was husky when he spoke. ‘Say the word, my lady, and I’ll get on my knees for you any time.’ 
‘And if I decide I like you down there?’ You replied, as you both leaned closer to one another. You could feel the warmth radiating off of him, and smell the cologne he wore and the cigarettes he smoked. 
‘Then that’s where I’ll stay,’ he murmured, moving to brush a strand of wayward hair out of your eyes. 
‘Hey!’ 
You both turned at the sudden shout. Dustin was hurrying over to you. ‘You ready to go, y/n?’ He asked, glaring at Eddie as he did so. 
‘Sure,’ you shrugged. You turned back to Eddie. ‘See you later, Munson.’
‘A good day to you, my lady,’ Eddie replied, sweeping into an elegant theatrical bow. You laughed, and he winked at you as you turned to go collect Erica and Mike. He watched you go, feeling his heart pounding in his chest. He swore you’d heard it. Had heard how nervous he was, now that he was actually talking to you. Flirting with you. Where had that come from? And you’d flirted back, responding to his interest.
Dustin stayed behind, still glaring at Eddie. ‘What do you think you’re doing, Eddie?’
‘Uh, now?’ 
‘You know what I mean.’ 
‘Talking to your sister? Is that not allowed, or something?’ Eddie looked nonplussed for a minute, before breaking out into a large grin and messing up Dustin’s hair. ‘Kid, your sister’s a big girl, and she decides what she does. If she didn’t want to talk to me, she wouldn’t.’
‘I’m just saying-’
‘You’d rather she talked to ball boy?’
‘No. But she’s not-’
‘What? She’s off limits?’ Eddie shrugged. ‘Too late, broke that rule. Never did like rules anyway.’ 
And he wasn’t going to listen to any rules where you were concerned. He’d break them all for a chance to have you close to him again. To watch you smile, to look at him how you’d looked when he’d interrupted your conversation with ball boy. And the sight of you in his shirt. He didn’t think you’d actually wear it, but you had. One look at you, and he was a goner. He’d been a goner from the moment he first saw you, last year out in the parking lot, dancing by yourself in your car, cigarette in one hand, Motley Crue on the radio, not caring who saw you as you sang along. He’d been hooked and had looked for you ever since. But he’d never plucked up the courage to talk to you himself, let alone flirt with you and see if his feelings were reciprocated. Until now.
Dustin rolled his eyes at his friend. ‘How about you flirt less and concentrate on passing senior year?’
‘Ooh, cold, kid, real cold,’ Eddie said, clutching his heart. ‘Keep it up and I’ll start thinking I’m not good enough for your sister.’
‘Just leave me out of this, that’s all I’m asking.’
‘It’s not like I’d invite you on our dates.’
‘You asked her on a date?’ Dustin stared at him.
‘Wouldn’t you like to know?’
‘Yes, yes, I would Eddie!’ 
Eddie only grinned and walked away.
‘Eddie!’

📓!!
OKAY. I've talked about this AU before but I'm gonna go into more detail. It's an AU for this cancelled BBC show about gay zombies called "In the Flesh".
Essential need-to-know about the world:
The Rising happened a few years ago, it was a zombie apocalypse in the sense that everyone who died in the year before crawled out of their graves. Zombies did eat people's brains (and sheep brains) but bites did not "turn" you, there was a finite number of resurrected. Zombies are now treatable, so the dead can go home to their families.
But of course there's mistrust and conflict because the things that were eating people's families are now just waltzing back into society.
As for plot: (some stuff carries over like directly from the show when I say this show was sooo c!Wilbur core. whew)
Wilbur killed himself and was resurrected during the Rising. He's been treated and can now go home to his small town with his family. His family includes his dad Phil, his dad's best friend who moved in with them during the Rising, and his little brother Tommy.
Tommy joined the militia during the Rising. He hates zombies, and he especially hates his brother for abandoning him. Most militias are shut down, but Tommy and some others are still patrolling the woods, killing zombies, and of course led by Dream, who Tommy seriously looks up to. (I'm thinking Sam and Sapnap are also part of the militia, Sapnap stops though once Quackity comes home, Tommy doesn't stop when Wilbur does because he's mad at him) Sam isn't like, bigoted against the resurrected, just obsessed with keeping people safe.
Quackity is also resurrected. He came home from the treatment center to find that his two fiances got married without him (because as far as they were concerned, he was dead, they were trying to live again) but he's still hurt and feels like he doesn't belong there anymore. He's more radical, he doesn't try to hide he's resurrected, so he gets a lot of shit in this tiny town. (Schlatt is a fanatical preacher claiming the resurrected are demons from hell)
Tubbo is new on the town council, assisting Schlatt, but he's not one of the fanatics, instead he's volunteered to serve as a nurse helping the resurrected with their treatments in secret, something that if found out would lose him his job and probably worse. In his rounds, he befriends Ranboo, a resurrected who is desperately trying to hide what he is. He doesn't remember his life before the Rising, and he doesn't have anyone.
Some fucking Insane scenes from the show I intend to carry over:
(SPOILERS for the show in the flesh and this AU if I ever get around to it lmao)
Wilbur disappearing for a few days and scaring the shit out of his family, because the last time that happened, well. Techno goes after him, they have a talk, and when he returns Phil is too calm, so Wilbur goads him into yelling at him so Phil finally breaks down and screams himself hoarse about finding Wilbur's body and carrying him home. Genuinely, the scene from the show is one of my favorites of anything ever.
Quackity is having some tension with Sapnap and Karl, he's resentful, they're unsure. (Okay, in the show, it was this guy who came home to find his wife remarried with his best friend, so polyamory wasn't the solution. I haven't decided if I'm going that route or making it them all being engaged but it still being complicated because Feelings) But basically, Quackity and Karl (maybe Sapnap? I haven't decided) accidentally get locked in a garage. At which point, Quackity's watch starts beeping reminding him he needs his shot. Because the Resurrected Need to have their medicine administered once a day or they Will go rabid again. At which point Quackity is freaking out, he gives Karl a wrench and tells him if he starts acting weird he needs to be ready to bash his skull in, Karl is freaking out because he doesn't want to do this, and at the last second, Sapnap breaks down the door and tackles Quackity to the ground. But after that, Quackity is the one who doesn't feel like he should be there, because he thinks he's too dangerous (that, or I think in the show the guy was arrested and sent back to the treatment center which is so bad, haven't decided yet)
Dream gets pissed off and defensive when Tommy starts to forgive his brother, so he kidnaps Wilbur and drugs him with something that negates the effect of the treatment, hoping he'll go rabid and Tommy will be forced to kill him, but Tommy can't shoot his brother, and Wilbur somehow manages to stop himself from attacking him until. Idk maybe Techno tackles him before someone else can shoot Wilbur.

hi!!
can I request hcs about a reader who is on a trip with her s/o and her best friend, and ends up defending Thomas from a group of other travelers, and ends up probably getting like punched in the face for him.
they have car trouble, and are allowed to stay at the Hewitt household for the night, (solely because reader took a punch head on, and still continued to defend Thomas) only for reader to discover that her s/o is railing her best friend, and u know that that means— death for them, and now Thomas gets to keep reader.
Thomas Hewitt X Reader
Warnings: cheating, mentions of blood
Disruptive:
This road trip had been being planned for the last couple of months, the three of you planning on travelling the states, hitting the more rural areas and not just the main tourist destinations. It was supposed to be a an opportunity to get away from everything just for a while.
The plan was in the works for a couple of months, so how hadn't any of you thought to plan ahead if the car broke down?
Ian, your boyfriend, had his head under the hood of the car while you and Cecilia, your best friend since childhood, stood by the edge of the road. Ready to wave down a car if one drove by, but none came. You hadn't seen another car for at least two hours now. You must have hit a very isolated part of Texas.
"Well, I think a professional need to take a look at this" Ian sighed as he closed the hood. "I think there's a gas station a little further down the road, maybe they know somebody who could help" he informed you.
Not wanting to leave your car full of your belongings on the side of the road, you all grabbed your own bag and locked up the car before beginning the walk.
It wasn't a long walk, but the heat made it feel much longer, before you arrived at the gas station. It almost seemed abandoned, looking pretty run down, but their was a truck parked outside by one of the gas pumps.
You walked behind your two friends as you approached the front door, pausing when you heard somebody shouting. With a frown, you stepped back as Ian and Cecelia stepped inside the station. Neither of them noticing that you were no longer following behind.
You considered ignoring the shouting but just couldn't, glancing back at the front door before walking around the gas station. As you walked around to the back of the small building, you saw three men.
One was significantly taller and broader than the other two. It looked like he was just trying to work, hoisting up a crate with an impressive amount of ease, while the two men just berated him.
The larger man just continued to ignore them. You wondered why he didn't respond, surely he could scare them off pretty easy. Maybe he was just trying not to cause any trouble while he worked?
"Hey" you finally spoke up, making the two men look at you. The larger man glanced at you, and that was when you noticed the leather mask. It was curious but you tried not to stare. "Is there a problem?" you asked.
"No problem. Just came for gas, didn't think we'd be treated to a free freak show as well" one of the shorter men jeered.
"Sounds like he's just trying to work and you're just being jerks" you folded your arms over your chest. The larger actually seemed to be reacting to the conversation now, placing the crate down and looking over at you. "Looks like you're just bothering him" you added.
"Just get outta here, we're only messing around" one of the men rolled his eyes.
"Dumb bastard probably doesn't even understand" the other man scoffed.
"He's the dumb one? You're the ones picking on some stranger to make yourselves feel better" you huffed, walking further towards the three men before smirking slightly.
"You know, from my experience if men feel the need constantly put others down and act like the 'alpha', they're usually overcompensating for something" you knew men like this and you knew the best way to get to them was to bruise their ego.
One of the men glared at you, stepping closer, trying to intimidate you. You glanced down at his crotch with a look of disappointment and disapproval. "Looks like the math checks out" you smirked as you met his gaze again, not backing down.
"You little bitch" he growled.
Maybe you had underestimated him...you had thought they were just a couple of jerks, finding some fun in pushing a stranger around, but you had underestimated them. You never even saw it coming but the bastard had punched you. You hadn't expected him to actually violently act out like that. You thought you would bother them enough for them to just storm off, you had been very wrong.
The shout that left you was out of your control, hands coming up to clutch your face after the impact.
You stumbled backwards, knowing you had to get away from these men, but there was suddenly something in front of you. The large man with the mask had moved between you and the two men as soon as they lashed out, squaring his stance and glaring them down, fists clenching at his sides.
Thankfully, the two men came to their senses and realised that they couldn't take the larger man even if there was two of them. They tried not to show fear on their faces but failed as they muttered to themselves, hurrying back round to the front of the gas station.
"Ah shit" you cursed, clutching your bleeding nose.
The large man turned to you with wide eyes. What was he meant to do?
You pinched the soft part of your nose and tilted your head back like you heard you were supposed to do. The man quickly shook his head, stepping closer and cautiously touching your head, making you look down instead.
"Thank you" you thanked him for correcting you. "I've never been punched before" you confessed with a slightly bitter laugh. He didn't know what to do, so he just stood there, his feet shifting slightly in the dirt.
Once you had managed to dry your eyes that had started to water, you lifted your head slightly too look at the man. "Are you alright?" you asked, glancing down at your bloody hands once you stopped holding your nose.
The man just nodded, digging around in his pocket before pulling out some clean cloth, holding it out you.
You thanked him again as you accepted it, brining it up to your nose to soak up the blood.
"Is it broken?" you asked. Surely, you would know if it was broken? But he seemed more knowledgeable about this sort of thing that you were, you didn't even know that you shouldn't tilt your head back when your nose was bleeding.
The man hesitated before carefully lowering your hand, letting him examine your nose. Thankfully, he shook his head and you let out a sigh of relief.
You were about to ask his name but got interrupted by a call of your name. You recognised the voice, it was Ian.
"Back here!" you called back to them.
Ian and Cecilia came running around the corner, looking between you and the masked man, their eyes widening them they noticed the blood on your face and the cloth.
"What the hell did you do?" Cecilia snapped at the large man standing beside you, looking like she was ready to set Ian on him, not like he stood a chance if she did.
"Hey, leave him alone, he didn't do anything" you were quick to defend the man again. "Just some assholes" you told them.
"Christ, why are you always doing this sort of shit?" Ian rolled his eyes, seeming more irritated than concerned.
"I didn't know he was going to punch me. I was just trying to help" you muttered, feeling like you were being told off for doing something wrong when you just wanted to help.
"Well, the car is pretty much fucked and-" Ian began to change the subject, giving you an update on the car but he was interrupted by the back door of the gas station swinging open.
"Thomas, what is all this noise?" a older woman asked as she stepped outside. "What happened?" she asked, looking between the two of you, glancing over at your friends.
The man, Thomas as she called him, didn't answer, so you spoke up. "I'm really sorry, ma'am. There were some men causing trouble, I was trying to help but...guess I made things worse" you explained, pulling the cloth away from your nose, noting that the bleeding had slowed.
The woman looked between you and Thomas again, seeming to add things up in her mind. "You took a punch for my boy?" she asked, her expression softening slightly.
"Uh...I guess, just asked them to leave him alone. Guess I pushed it too far" you nodded.
"You with those two?" she asked, gesturing towards your friends, "with the busted car?"
You just nodded and she hummed to herself. Feeling a little uncomfortable, Ian and Cecilia moved closer, coming to stand just behind you.
"Alright well...for your trouble, how about you come stay at the house for the night, we can get someone to look at your car tomorrow morning" the woman offered, surprising you.
"Oh we couldn't intrude" you shook your head, hating to be a burden.
"I insist. It's the least we can do" she didn't look like she would take no for an answer.
"Only if you're certain" you looked back at your friends, who just shrugged, alright with the arrangement. "Thank you, this is very kind" you look back at her with a smile.
"I'm Luda May, this is my son Tommy" she introduced herself and the man that was awkwardly standing to the side now.
"I'm Y/n. This is my boyfriend, Ian, and my friend, Cecilia" you introduced your small group.
Tommy frowned under his mask. Boyfriend. Of course. It's not like he even dreamed of getting his hopes up, thinking your kindness was anything more than pity. Still, for some reason, it stung a little. He just couldn't explain why.
"Come on, dear, let me lock up and get you back to the house, get you cleaned up" Luda May offered, placing a hand on your arm comfortingly.
After Luda May locked up the gas station, you all walked back to their home. It was a large but somewhat run down house. Luda May guided you all inside and introduced you to Hoyt and Monty, two rather rude older men, but she had told you not to pay them any mind.
"Thomas, will you help Y/n clean up while I show them to their room?" Luda May asked as you all stepped out of the living room, leaving the two older men behind. Thomas seemed surprised by her request but nodded.
Ian and Cecilia were ushered up the stairs, taking your bag with them as well as their own, while you followed Thomas into the kitchen.
Thomas gestured for you to sit down on a chair and you did, while he grabbed a bowl of water and a clean cloth. He seemed nervous but determined to help, cautiously taking your hands in his to clean them.
You watched your hands, almost in amazement. They looked so small in his hands, he must have been able to break your arm just by holding on too hard.
"Can I call you Tommy?" you asked, breaking the silence. He paused for a moment, looking up from your hands to meet your gaze. He had nice eyes. He nodded. "Well, thank you, Tommy. I'm sorry about those men, I hate people like that. You'd think they'd grow out of it when they left school, but they don't" you sighed.
Thomas only nodded again, obviously not a talker but you didn't mind. He still seemed nice enough.
Once your hands were clean, Thomas moved to clean the blood from your face but you noticed how he paused, seeming nervous again. He didn't want to make you uncomfortable and you thought that was sweet. "It's alright" you assured him.
Gently placing his hand under your chin, Thomas angled your head up slightly, holding it in place as he wiped away the drying blood from your face. Making sure to be extra careful around your nose.
You stayed still, letting him work. He was a large man with strong arms and large hands, and yet he was being so gentle. Like he was afraid of hurting you. It made you smile a little.
Just as he finished cleaning you up, pulling his hands away from your face, Ian walked into the kitchen. "How's your nose?" he asked, walking over to you, glancing at Thomas suspiciously.
"Good, it's stopped bleeding" you told him with a smile. "Thomas said it's not broken, but it still hurts" you chuckled. It was sore but there was no real harm done.
"Just don't get what you were thinking" Ian huffed, shaking his head.
"Was just trying to help" you rolled your eyes, not in the mood for an argument.
"C'mon, he's like twice my size, I don't think he needs you defending him. I'm sure he could've took a couple of men" Ian scoffed, making Thomas tense again. He had been so relaxed around you, now he wanted to leave the room, feeling like he had done something wrong.
"Ian, stop being rude, you're being an ass" you told him, sounding tired.
"Fucking freak" he muttered under his breath, glancing at Thomas.
"Ian!" you snapped, eyes wide in shock and disgust. "What is wrong with you? Just get outta here" you stood, pointing towards the door. You didn't even want to look at him right now.
Ian just rolled his eyes before leaving the room, not seemed to care about your anger towards him.
"God, Thomas, I'm so sorry" you turned towards the masked man, looking genuinely apologetic and horrified by your boyfriend's behaviour. "I don't know what's been wrong with him lately...never used to be like this" you made a weak attempt at an explanation, sighing as you returned to your seat.
Thomas just shook his head, telling you not to worry about it, but you knew it had bothered him.
"Hey, I'll kick his ass for you as well, if you want" you offered with a playful smile, hoping to lighten the mood a little.
It worked, at least a little. Thomas smiled a little under his mask, you were cute and kind. He liked you and, if he didn't know any better, he would think that you liked him.
Luda May had provided the three of you with one room, the only spare room they had, but that was kind enough in your eyes. She had even invited you for supper with the family. All of you sitting around the table, you sitting between Thomas and Ian, as Luda May dished out the food.
It was a little awkward, eating with complete strangers, so you all mostly ate in silence. "So, where are you lot heading?" Luda May finally asked, breaking the silence and trying to start a pleasant conversation.
"Nowhere in particular" Cecilia shrugged, still being polite.
"Just taking a little road trip. Get away from things for a while, you know?" you added.
Ian and Cecilia had been glancing at Thomas whenever they were in the same room. From behind the gas station to right now at the dining table. You thought it was rude but as long as they didn't say anything stupid, you wouldn't comment on it.
Unfortunately, there was a lull in conversation and Ian thought he would speak up. "Alright. What's with the mask, anyway?" he asked, looking past you to Thomas.
"Ian" you warned through gritted teeth, in complete disbelief with him and frowning at Cecilia when she giggled to herself.
The Hewitt family was looking at Ian, glaring. Thomas had tensed beside you. Shit, how do you save this one?
"Did you make it yourself?" you asked, turning your full attention to Thomas. He just nodded, staring down at his plate, assuming you were going to beginning mocking him. "That's pretty impressive, it looks good. You must be pretty handy" you complimented with a smile. Thomas looked at you with surprise in his eyes but smiled, as did Luda May.
Ian muttered something under his breath that you couldn't understand. You just ignored him, not wanting to risk him causing more trouble.
The rest of the supper was uneventful and you had thanked the family once again before everyone started to turn in for the night.
You had taken a shower before bed. When you returned to the bedroom, you frowned when you saw that both Ian and Cecilia were gone. With a sigh, you left the room and began to search for them.
You couldn't find them anywhere in the house so you stepped outside, onto the front porch. Once you were outside, you heard movement and followed it. Hopping down the steps of the porch and wandering around the side of the house. Maybe they had stepped out for a smoke? You thought Ian had quit, maybe he hadn't...
You followed noise until you heard what sounded like a moan. You frowned and turned the corner, freezing at the sight that greeted you.
Ian was pinning Cecilia up against the side of the house, her bare leg hooked over his hip, his pants bunched down under his ass. They clearly hadn't noticed you.
"What the hell!" you shouted, getting their attention.
They both jumped apart, Ian pulling up his pants and Cecilia fixing her skirt, looking horrified. "Shit" Ian cursed.
"Yeah. Shit" you scoffed. "Are you seriously fucking my best friend?" you asked rhetorically, wondering how he was going to try to talk his way out of this one. He didn't speak. "And you're fucking my boyfriend?" you looked to Cecilia, who looked down at her feet. "Will somebody answer me!" you were tired of being ignored.
"Yes!" Ian snapped, making you flinch. "Obviously that's what we were doing" he rolled his eyes, knowing he couldn't lie his way out of this one.
"...how long as this been going on?" you asked.
"About a month" Ian shrugged.
"I can't believe you!" you shouted at him, tears stinging your eyes. You were furious, more from the betrayal than anything. Ian had become a jerk over the last few months but now you were losing your boyfriend and your best friend.
"Look, we can talk this out, alright?" Ian approached you, going to place his hand on your shoulder.
"Don't touch me" you snarled, stepping back. How could he even think that you would be willing to 'talk this out'.
"What the fuck is all the shouting?" Hoyt's angry voice boomed as he rounded the corner.
"God, you are a fucking asshole" you ignored Hoyt, glaring at Ian. "I hope you're real happy together, you deserve each other" you spat before turning around, walking past Hoyt, who watched you leave with an irritated expression.
By the time you had made it back inside the house, tears were rolling down your cheeks. Thomas had been coming to find the cause of all the shouting, nearly running straight into you.
"Oh, uh, sorry Thomas" you apologised as you nearly collided with his chest. You kept your head down, hoping he hadn't seen the tears. But he did, and he worried that you had been hurt, had Hoyt hurt you? He swore he heard Hoyt shouting.
Without thinking, Thomas gently took hold of your shoulders and examined you. You were confused by his actions at first but when you realised what he was doing, you smiled a little.
"I'm not hurt, Tommy" you chuckled, sniffing slightly. He looked so concerned for you, it was sweet. You couldn't remember the last time Ian had looked at you like that when you cried. "So, uh...Ian really is an ass" you laughed bitterly, wiping away some tears. "...he's been cheating on me with Cecilia" you told him, explaining the cause of your tears.
Thomas could kill him. You were so kind and sweet, putting yourself in harms way for a complete stranger. How could he do something like this to you? How could he or your friend betray you like that.
Both of you could hear shouting coming from outside again, it sounded like Hoyt and Ian were arguing.
"Oh god" you groaned, embarrassed by everything that had happened. "I'm so sorry, we shouldn't be bothering you all with this" you were crying again, and getting frustrated with yourself.
Thomas wasn't sure what to do, people didn't normally like being around him but you didn't seem to mind, so maybe you wouldn't mind him comforting you as well. His movements were slow and careful, guiding you closer to him and wrapping his arms around you.
As soon as you realised he was offering you a comforting hug, you accepted it. You wrapped your arms around his waist, just needing somebody to hold you, as you cried into his chest. Feeling more confident, Thomas wrapped his arms around you more securely. His arms were large and strong, making you feel safe. His body practically engulfed yours, making you fell like the world couldn't touch you. It was a nice feeling.
"Thomas?" Luda May asked, also coming to investigate the commotion. "What is all that shouting about...are you alright, dear?" her attention turned to you when she saw that you were crying.
"I, uh..." you sniffled as you pulled away from Thomas, wiping your wet cheeks. You looked up at him and he nodded, reassuring you that you weren't being a burden. "I think Hoyt and Ian are arguing about something outside" you told her.
"Is that why you're crying?" she frowned. Has Hoyt decided to pick a fight even when she had warned him not too?
You shook your head. "...I caught Ian cheating on me with Cecilia" you sniffled again.
"Oh...I'm so sorry" Luda May's expression softened once again. Something flashed behind her yes but it was too quick to name.
"Thomas, will you go and help Hoyt?" Luda May asked calmly, looking up at her son. Thomas squinted at her and she nodded.
Thomas gave you a soft look before leaving through the front door. You didn't like the idea of other people dealing with your problems, but you couldn't argue because Luda May already had your attention again.
"Come on, dear" she took your hand, leading you to the living room and sitting down with you on the couch.
"I'm so, so sorry. You've all been so generous and my friends have been rude and now we're being so disruptive. I'm so sorry" you apologised. This family had tried to be so kind to you all and now you were being completely disrespectful.
"Hush now, it's not your fault" Luda May cooed, gently guiding your head to lay against her shoulder, beginning to stroke your hair. "Tommy and Hoyt will take care of them" she promised.
You just nodded, trying to stop the tears. You were too worked up to dwell on what Luda May meant exactly, just letting her hum and soothe you.
Luda May smiled as she stroked your hair, humming the same tune she would hum to shush Thomas when he was a child. You seemed pleasant, polite and kind. You would make a good addition to the family and you were so good to Tommy. Of course, she had seen how her son looked at you, amazed by your sincere kindness, already falling for you, the poor boy. Your so called friends did not deserve any kindness, but you deserved mercy.
Oh, she hoped you could forgive Tommy, she hoped you would continue to see him as the sweet boy he is.

About Christmas and meeting the family

Wanda Maximoff x Reader
Tumblr media
Masterlist | Library Blog

Warnings: none
Pronouns: not used || Word count: 1.491
Okay, sorry this is late, but today I went to see No Way Home!!!!! Urgh, it was so good!!! For those of you who have seen it, what did you think?! I can't wait to talk about it and to watch it again lol haha anyway, enjoy!
You do NOT have permission to repost or translate my work on any platforms (even with credit)
For this request | Christmas Special Masterlist
───── ⋅ ⋇ ❅ ⋇ ⋅ ─────
You are freaking out. Actually, freaking out is an understatement.
"You need to breathe, man, you look like you're on the verge of having a heart attack." Your roommate and best friend, Kate, scoffs when she sees you trying on the fifth outfit, and you huff. "What if it all goes wrong?"
After about nine months of dating, Wanda invited you to spend Christmas with her and her family because both her father and brother would be in town and she wanted you to meet them.
You knew it was a doubly important step; first, you would spend one of the most important holidays together, and second, you would meet her family.
So, again, you are freaking out.
"It won't." She assures, her shoulder resting against the door frame, and you turn to face her. "How can you know?"
"Because I know everything." She says playfully, making her way over to you and placing her hands on your shoulders. "Do you love her?"
"Of course." You confirm without hesitation, a smile making its way instantly to your lips, and you're sure you look like an idiot because Kate gives you an amused smile.
"Does she love you?" she asks next, and you shrug. "I mean, I hope so-"
"She does, you asshole!" She interrupts, slapping you on the head, and you let out a laugh. "And that's all that matters."
"Are you sure?" You ask, still uncertain, and she smiles tenderly to reassure you. "Of course."
"But if everything goes wrong, you can always date someone else." She adds as you turn to look at your reflection in the mirror and you laugh through your nose. "Shut up."
⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅ ⋇ ⋅
You knock on the door a few minutes before your scheduled time and are greeted by two smiling ten-year-old boys.
"Y/n!" Billy and Tommy say excitedly and you giggle as they look back. "Mommy, Y/n is here!"
"Hi, boys!" You greet, stooping down to be their height and pulling two gift packages from behind your back. "I have something for you."
"Cool!" The two of them comment excitedly, looking eagerly at the video games in their hands and you giggle at the adorable scene. "Thanks, Y/n."
The two approach you for a hug, and you see Wanda moving closer as you reciprocate.
"Hi, love!" She greets you happily as you stand up, and you waste no time hugging her as well. "How are you?"
"Nervous." You admit with a shy chuckle and receive a fond smile in response. "Relax, you're gonna do just fine." She assures you before kissing you, and you smile against her lips before she pulls away.
"I'm feeling better already." You comment softly and receive a shy chuckle in response. "You look beautiful."
"You too." She replies sweetly before pulling you inside and you feel your stomach sink as you see an older figure approaching you.
"You must be Y/n Y/l/n." The older man says, looking you up and down as he extends his hand, and you smile as you shake it. "Hello, Mr. Lehnsherr, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wanda has told me amazing things about you."
"If she talked about us as much as she does about you, it must have been annoying." A third voice makes itself heard and you see a man with an amused expression joining you.
"I'm Pietro." He greets you, offering his hand to you just as his father had just done and you repeat the greeting shyly.
You wonder if Wanda's family can tell that your legs are shaking at an abnormal frequency, or that your heart is about to burst out of your mouth and run back home.
Well, if they can tell, none of them let it show, and you go on to a pleasant evening.
Tommy and Billy ask to play the games you bought for them, and you and Pietro chat a bit while watching the boys playing on the TV in the living room.
Pietro is a nice and funny guy. Unlike his sister, he is very loud and exaggerated, but you like him anyway. From the way he treats you, you think he likes you too.
Afterward, you offer to help Wanda with dinner, but the redhead declines with a kiss on the corner of your mouth and you have red cheeks as you sit at the dining room table with Erik.
Wanda's father loves to talk about his past, and you do your best to follow what he says, even if he sometimes lets out a few expressions in a language you don't understand.
You try to be as polite as you can, speaking as little as possible so as not to make a fool of yourself. This last one doesn't work very well, as the older man keeps asking questions about your life.
Wanda scolds him about the interrogation, but you give a dismissive laugh, saying that it is more than understandable that her father wants to get to know better the person who is dating his daughter. Erik seems to like that.
The dinner is wonderful and no one wastes any time in complimenting the redhead's divine cooking.
You all talk a little more during dinner and afterward, and you feel that you are loosening up a bit. Maybe it's because Wanda's hand intertwined with yours under the table is calming you down as it always does.
Not long afterward Pietro says he has to leave, since the drive to the hotel is long, and Erik retreats to the guest room as well.
After the adults have left, you notice Tommy and Billy sleeping on the couch in the living room. You and Wanda smile fondly at the scene, and while the redhead sorts things out on the dining table, you carry the two boys to bed.
Back in the kitchen, you begin to wash the dishes. Wanda complains about guests not being expected to do chores and laughs when you complain about her still considering you a guest after all this time.
"I feel like I didn't give you much attention tonight." She comments as she puts away some pans in the cabinet, and you grimace dismissively. "That's not true you were busy hosting dinner. It's alright."
"Thank you for staying and helping me." She says as you both finish your chores in the kitchen, and you wipe your hands on the dishcloth before approaching her. "It's not for free, you know."
"Oh no?" She asks amusedly as she wraps her arms around your neck, and you deny with your head as you wrap yours around her waist.
"And what's the price for your services, helper?" She asks suggestively, her fingertips caressing the back of your neck and you smirk as you answer, "let me show you."
You take her into the living room then and turn on some music at a low volume so as not to disturb Erik or the boys.
Wanda laughs softly as you offer your hand to her, inviting her to dance, but soon accepts.
You sway back and forth in the center of the room, her body pressed against yours as your cheeks rest together. You smile at her scent invading your nostrils, and Wanda smiles at the warmth of your body relaxing her tired muscles.
"You know," you begin at one point, your hand caressing her lower back while the other holds her hand gently, "I was really nervous for today."
"Oh, I know." The redhead replies with amusement, making you laugh softly.
"Yeah... But spending the holiday with you, with your family, only reinforced how much I love you and how much I want to spend my life with you." You tell, and Wanda pulls her face away from yours just enough to look at you. When her gaze meets your tender one, she smiles.
"I know we haven't talked about it yet, but..." You pause, a nervous chuckle escaping your lips and, as Wanda looks at you expectantly, you take a deep breath. "I don't know if you want to get married again or not. But if you do, I would love to spend next Christmas with rings on our fingers."
In response, you receive a bite of the lip in an attempt to contain a huge smile, Wanda nodding as she says, "I'd really like that too."
"You would?" You ask in relative surprise. Wanda hums in confirmation and smiles broadly when you let out a happy giggle in response.
"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." You let her know and Wanda lets out a happy giggle of her own before resting her head on your shoulder, her body even more snuggled into yours than before.
And as you dance together, you can't wait for next Christmas.

A Dedicated Pig-Technoblade
#3 and 47 from this prompt list! Check out my masterlist here! This is in the DreamSMP Au. I
This is a Technoblade x GN reader! 
So in this AU I am making it so that your cannon lives are shown on your left wrist. And if someone types something in chat or if someone joins the server, it appears as text on your right arm until you dismiss it! If you are confused feel free to ask me any questions!
Part Two! Part Three! Part Four!
Y/N finally meets the one that everyone has been walking on eggshells over.
Y/N’s POV
I will never forget the gasps, murmurs, and then tense silence that followed the notification that everyone received on their right arm. Technoblade had joined the SMP. I didn’t understand why it was such a big deal though. Of course I had heard the stories. The horrors that he had done. The fights he picked and won. The amount of blood that had been shed at his hands had earned him the title of “The Blood God”. But when push comes to shove, he’s just another mortal man.
Everyone was a little freaked out and on edge because of the new addition to the server. I mean, Schlatt had just banished Techno’s family, his two brothers, from the nation that they created and fought for. Everyone knew that family was everything to Techno and if there was one thing Techno would do anything for it was his family. He would literally go to hell and back if it meant that his brothers and his father were safe. 
Finally after a few minutes of everyone holding their breath, I scoffed, rolled my eyes, and went on with my work, cleaning up the election decorations. All eyes turned to me “Y/N” Niki hissed, “Do you not understand what just happened? He could be anywhere” I let out a joyless laugh as I looked at my best friend, “You really think he’s going to come here right away? With nothing on him? With his brothers on the run? You think he’s going to worry about coming here, where it would be a 1 vs…” My eyes scanned the crowd doing a quick mental count, “15 plus? Come on Niki, think with that big brain of yours.” I claimed, a little annoyed, as I took down a banner. 
Niki let out a shaky sigh but nodded and continued helping me. “You’re right,” I chuckled at her response and bumped her shoulder, “You know I always am”. Soon, everyone went back to their own tasks, forgetting the news we all had just received. ‘See Mr. Pig Man Blood God’ I silently thought to myself, ‘You’re not as scary as you may think’. 
*Time skip*
A week and a half had gone by since Technoblade had joined the server and no one had seen him. Like I had predicted, he immediately had searched and met up with his brothers and had stayed clear of the main part of the server. That being said, I should have known that he would rear his pink head at some point…
When I first joined the server, I had made myself a small farm for food. Well of course everyone found out about it and wanted a part of it. So my small farm grew and grew. When Niki built her bakery, she needed a steady supply of well… supplies. Sugar, wheat, eggs, milk, and all that. I had plenty and I was more than happy to give her what she needed in exchange for baked goods. So once a week I would haul boxes of supplies across the SMP from my farm to her bakery. 
Everyone was aware of this and so on these days everyone would stay out of my way. Which is why I was so surprised to slam into someone while carrying a box of eggs to the bakery. 
I let out a huge gasp as the sound of eggs cracking filled my ears as I slammed into someone. The box fell out of my hands as raw egg covered my hands and body. “What the hell!” I cried out, looking up to yell at whoever had just crashed into me. I was momentarily stunned. There in the flesh, right in front of me, stood the Blood God himself, Technoblade. My surprise  didn’t last long as I remembered why I was angry in the first place. 
“What the hell are you doing here? It’s bakery day, sure you didn’t know that, but you should have taken the hint not to be here when you didn’t see anyone walking this part of the Prime path!” I shouted at the pink haired man. Techno’s brown eyes widened as I verbally attacked him. “And now I’m covered in raw egg! This is not pleasant! It’s gross and sticky and cold and I do not enjoy it! You are sooooo lucky I have a change of clothes at the farm and that my chickens laid a lot of extra eggs this week or else you would have had to explain to dear sweet Niki why she wouldn’t be able to open her cute bakery this week.” I hissed out. 
“I’m sorry,” Techno began with a raised eyebrow, “Do you not know who you’re talking to?” He questioned with a deep voice. I let out a loud scoff at the audacity of his question, “Of course I know who you are, Mr. Blood God,” I mocked. “So. You do know who I am and what I am capable of.” I scoffed at his smug words. “I said I did, didn’t I? And frankly I couldn’t care less about you and your reputation. You’re just a guy. A guy that has ruined my day because I now have egg all over me!” I complained, wiping my hands on my pants. 
I reached down and began picking up the box and the eggs and egg shells that had fallen on the ground.“You know, I could kill you with no hesitation?” Techno claimed as he crouched down, moving his face close to mine. “I’ve done it before to many others. They blink and my sword has entered their chest. I’ve probably slaughtered more people than you’ve ever met in your life,” Techno mused, a smug smirk tugging on his lips. 
I looked up from my box with a blank expression on my face, “Am I supposed to be scared of you? Is that supposed to scare me? Make me shake in my boots?” I questioned, my eyebrow raised. Techno’s smirk slowly slipped off his face. He quickly stood up and stared at me in shock, “Didn’t you hear me? I could kill you!” He explained. I rolled my eyes and also stood up. “So could another human. Literally anyone else. So could a fall from a huge height. So could a dedicated chicken. You’re not special.” I stated, turning on my heel and began walking back toward my farm. 
“So you’re really not scared of me?” I heard Techno question as he began to jog to catch up to me. “Haven’t I made that clear? You may have scary stories and legends surrounding you, but when it comes right down to it, you’re a man. Well, part pig, part man, but a man and mortal all the same.” Techno let out a scoff, “Technoblade never dies,” he claimed. “But you could. You have three cannon lives just like the rest of us.” I concluded. 
Techno silently followed me as I moved through the barn, replacing the eggs that had cracked when we collided. After I filled the box once more, I set it down before stepping into the bathroom I had built. “I’ll be right out. Don’t touch anything.” I commanded. Techno gave me a mock salute before looking around the barn once more. I closed the door and quickly cleaned up. I took off my egg covered clothes, washed my hands and body before putting on the clean clothes I kept here. 
I found Techno where I left him. “You ready to go?” I questioned softly. His eyes trailed from my horses back to me as he gently nodded. I made my way back to the boxes before picking the egg box back up. “Is this going to?” Techno asked. I looked over and found him pointing at the last box needing to go to the bakery. “Yeah, but you don’t have to-” I was cut off by Techno picking up the box. “Let’s go” He said walking out the door. I let out a laugh before following him, being sure to close the door behind me. 
The two of us made small talk about anything and everything on our way to the bakery. Techno told me all about Wilbur and Tommy’s constant squabbles and I told him all about everyone’s wariness ever since he joined the server. Techno helped me put everything away, which caused me to be done a lot sooner than I usually get done. The two of us left the bakery and made our way back outside. We began strolling the prime path and subconsciously came to a stop where the two of us met. 
Our conversation died down and the two of us stood there for a moment, just staring at each other. I finally cleared my throat, “Thank you for helping me today. I really appreciate it.” I thanked, running a hand through my hair. Techno mirrored my actions with a shy smile on his face, “No problem. It’s the least I could do.” There was a slight pause before he spoke again, “Hey. Listen. I’m sorry for threatening you earlier. It’s just… Everyone I’ve ever met has been terrified of me and when you weren't… It really threw me for a loop. So… thanks. Thank you for giving me a chance.” I let out a giggle at his vulnerability, “It’s no problem…. Maybe when this is all over and you and your brothers are welcome back into L’Manberg, we could hang out more.” I offered. Techno gave me a soft smile and a gentle nod, “Yeah. I’d like that. A lot.” 
“Techno!” A voice whisper shouted. The two of us jumped at the sudden interruption and turned to look at who had called the pink haired man’s name. It was Wilbur. “There you are! Where have you been?!” He questioned, marching up to the two of us. Techno made a gesture to me. Wilbur’s eyes shifted to me. I gave him a smile and a wave. “Hey Wilbur. It’s great to see you” Wilbur’s eyes softened as he gave me a smile, “Hey Y/N. It’s so good to see you too. We’ve got to go. Techno was supposed to be on a spy mission, but I see he got distracted…” I laughed at his words and nodded. “Something like that,” Techno claimed, rubbing the back of his head a blush. 
“Well it was great to see you Wilbur. Tell Tommy I miss him and that I say to stop trying to decorate with things that aren’t his, yeah?” Wilbur gave me another soft smile and nod, “Will do Y/N. Tell Niki I miss her?” I returned his smile and nod. I then turned to Technoblade and gave him a smile as well, “It was lovely to meet you. I really hope this is over soon so I can show you my weapons collection.” Techno’s eyes lit up and he nodded. “It was amazing to meet you too Y/N. And I would love that. So much.” I giggled at his response and nodded. “I knew you would. Bye guys.” I gave them both one last smile before turning and headed back to my farm. 
As I was leaving I overheard the next part of Techno and Wilbur’s conversation. “So… Y/N huh?” “Shut up.” “Who knows, when this thing is all over maybe you’ll get together and have pink haired, Y/E/C babies… Oh I would be the best uncle and-” “I’ll give you a five second headstart.” “Oh come on Techno-” “Five” “Please” “Four” “Tech-” “Three” “You know it’s-” “Two” “Oh come on” “One” “OH GOD! RUNNING!” 
I let myself look over my shoulder at the two. Sure enough Wilbur was sprinting down the prime path as fast as he could, but Techno was right behind him. “Get over here!” Techno shouted after Wilbur. “NO!” I let myself giggle at the two’s antics. My eyes focused on the two for as long as I could, but soon enough the two were out of my view and my ear shot. Oh I can’t wait until this is all over. 
There you go! I hope you enjoyed! And I hope I did the anon that requested this justice! If you did enjoy, be sure to leave a like! And maybe even a reblog or reply telling me what you liked about it! Until next time!

tw - Tommy refers to all of you as "boys", also mentions you potentially having a peepee but the reader is gender neutral :D
all of you had celebrating halloween together in mind since Ranboo arrived at UK
and as the days started becoming cooler, windier and shorter, you only grew more excited!
all of you planned and prepared your costumes in secret, not telling anyone what you'll be dressing as
these were the very last days Ranboo will be staying in UK, and this made all of you sad, but you tried your best to push away these thoughts away and celebrate this halloween from the bottom of your heart!
you agreed to not stream the trick-or-treating, as views weren't in your heads at the time. you guys just wanted to have fun!
Ranboo was dressed like a vampire, Tubbo - a zombie, and Tommy - a pirate :D
you all decided to go with the more classic costumes, since if they're done well, they could look really original!
the trick-or-treating of course couldn't go without a sprinkle of chaos here and there
"you press the doorbell!"
"pussy!"
"move aside, i will press the fucking doorbell!"
"did you guys ever go trick-or-treating? pressing the doorbell is a part of the whole thing, y'know..."
some people that opened the door ended up recognizing you, so they took pictures with you guys, and you were more than glad to do so!
after a couple of hours of walking around the neighborhood, your legs started growing tired, and you all sat on a bench in the park to count your candies and to announce the winner who has the most candies
you all walked in the cozy light coming from all the houses, surrounded by other people trick-or-treating or just taking walks. the night was filled with laughter and cheerfulness.
"okay, i think it's time to make a tiktok." Tommy spoke, plopping down on the bench. you all looked at him, giving him looks. he looked back at you guys :
"whoot? we haven't checked our socials for like four hours, people will start to think we were kidnapped or somethin'!"
as idiotically it sounded, you had to admit, you guys had to share something with your fans already. all of you were content with the few hours you all got only for yourselves.
"okay! then let's count the candies and see who got the most!" you exclaimed, sitting down next to Tommy. Ranboo and Tubbo joined you guys as Tommy got his phone out.
"hello tiktok! me and the boys were trick-or-treating!" he showed you, Tubbo and Ranboo to the camera and you all waved, "we will now all count our candies, and see who got the most, and therefore has the biggest d-"
"okay, okayy, that's enough!" Ranboo laughed, as you and Tubbo giggled, "man, i sure hope it's not me."
"Ranboo, pussy man, he was even scared to press the doorbell!" Tommy exclaimed, pointing at Ranboo as if accusing him of something.
"well- well someone gave you got an apple, so beat that!" Ranboo huffed, crossing his arms.
"DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM BOYS! FREAK MAN IS LYIN'!! I GOT ALL THE CANDIES!!" Tommy yelled at the camera, trying to throw the apple to Ranboo as the rest of you three died of laughter.
in the end the one who got the most candies was you!
“not faaair! Y/n’s got the biggest amount because they’re the cutest!
“yeah, i mean, look at them!”
“shut up! i will share my candy, jeeez!”
you being a good friend, shared some of your candy with them so all of you could have about the same amount
to wrap the night in a neat bow, you guys took some pictures back at Tubbo’s place 
they came out amazing, you posing with your own carved pumpkins and other various halloween decorations
pictures posted on instagram, you all plopped down exhausted, and watched some classic halloween movies, like “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, “Corpse Bride” and “Beetlejuice” before going to sleep <3

Kismet
Requested: No
Paring: Shelby!Sister Reader x Isaiah
Words: 5624
Summary: For a year now, you had a secret relationship with Isaiah and even when he is still in the same room with you, you can’t stop feeling lonely. It’s not that you don’t love him anymore, it more about the weight of the secret you have to carry. But with Tommy as you big brother you can’t risk, telling the truth or your man might get shot.
Note:
I was in the mood for a Shelby!Sister reader x Isaiah and it turned out to be way longer than I expected it... and I even cut out dialog... So here it is!
It’s also flavored with Junior Peaky Boys fun at the beginning. And I was inspired by my homegirl’s one shot called star and my story is an addition to hers, it’s the same night, but Bonnie has some other adventures than the reader and Isaiah.
Somehow I feel like everybody is a little ooc, but I couldn’t correct it.
Requests and tag list are still open, feel free to dm me or send me an ask.

Warning: swear words, drinking, binge drinking, gambling, a hinted smut and a sweet ending
Tumblr media
It was one of those nights, nothing special, just the usual fellows around the same table in the Garrison.  You had fun nevertheless. All your friends were right there, you had enough to drink and you had a luck hand today. The cards seemed to work in your fortune.
Deviously smiling you revealed your hand. You just had won this round and it gave you unholy amounts of satisfactions. “Ha”, you cheered: “Suck it up.”
Your friend shrugged and shoved his coins in your direction. All he said was a very grumpy “There you go”, but it pleased you.
You took the money and peaked around the corner. Where was Michael with the drinks? He was like a brother to you, but he was just your cousin. Maybe it was because you were born just two months before his older sister, Anna. Even though, she was gone Michael came back to his real family and now you were closer than ever. You cared for him, more than your siblings did.
But that didn’t mean you wouldn’t hit him, if he just left the bar to fuck with some random girl. It was not about him having sex, more about leaving without telling anybody. Especially when he was supposed to get drinks for the table. You moaned and said: “Where is Michael?”
“Probably doing somebody”, Isaiah joked and lit a cigarette. Then he offered you one and you took it gladly. Actually, you bit your lip and gave him the side-eye, but you had to hide your smile in front of the others. Bonnie and Finny weren’t the smartest boys in Small Heath, but you wouldn’t risk it.
You had so much fun with Isaiah that you didn’t even know when it started. Months passed by, while you were completely caught up in your little game with him. Nobody knew it. That was mainly Isaiah’s fault. At first it amused you to keep your relationship with him secret, but now you were ready to tell your family about it. Your boyfriend didn’t like the idea.
Somehow you thought Michael started to notice. He gave you the glace, which said: “I know, dear”, but maybe you were just getting crazy. You just had to be more careful around others now and everything was fine.
The night was still young and you were keen to make Bonnie lose all his money today. He had won the boxing match earlier and the bruises were still visible, but unfortunately for him, he couldn’t win against you. It was just a card game, but it filled you with gleeful joy. This and the fact that Isaiah was sitting next to you. Sometimes he would brush your thigh with his fingers, which made you giggle even more.
“There he is”, yelled Finny while being so fucking drunk, like you never had seen him before. Michael arrived with messy hair and his tie was undone, but he had your drink and that was all that you care for. “Finally”, you fluted and ripped the glass of his hand: “Thank you, babe.”
And the whiskey was still cold, which meant he fucked the girl first and ordered the drinks afterwards. “How was she? Good?” you asked before you took a sip from your whiskey. You weren’t a lightweight when it came to drinking, maybe not as well as Arthur and John, but you could tolerate much more than Ada and Finny. Your little brother was so drunk, he looked like his head was all empty and yet filled with bullshit.
Michael sat down next to you and answered: “Mhh, she was okay, but she talked too much.” Then you felt the weight of a hand on your thigh again. A shiver rushed down your spine, but it was the wrong side. Your cousin had put his hand on your knee. “Everything alright, Y/N?”
You nodded. “Yeah, everything is perfect”, you blabbered hoping he wouldn’t keep asking questions, but he did. “Don’t be so worried, every time I’m with a girl. I know you’re still a virgin, but you can get some too. Tommy wouldn’t be against it.”
How wonderfully wrong he was. Neither were you a virgin nor would Tommy be okay with this. After all, you were his little sister and he wouldn’t accept the guy, you were sleeping with. Of course, Isaiah was a friend of the family, but after the whole thing with Ada and Freddie you had something to worry about.
The best snarky comeback was right on the tip of your tongue, but you couldn’t say it without letting something slip. ‘What gives you the idea I’m still a virgin?’ And yet you were silent as the guy who fucked you, sat right next to you. You felt trapped and decided to go straight forward. “Yes, he would. You know it and everybody in Small Heath knows it.”
“Oh whatever”, Michael mumbled: “Just drink enough and you eventually forget about it.”
You grinned and emptied your drink. “Fuck it, let’s play some cards. I’m not done with Mr. Gold over here.”  Then you took the cards and dealt them to start the next round.
Much later that night when you brought Finn back home and went straight back to the pub, in front of the entrance, you stumbled into Bonnie. “Is there a reason why you’re smirking?” you asked him. He was gleaming red and smiling like an idiot.
Then you remembered. “The singer, right?” Bonnie nodded and his grin got even wider. “You talked to her?” Again he gave you a silent answer. You grabbed his arm and pulled him back inside. He was a lot heavier than you thought, but then again, you were just a girl and he was a boxer.
Sometime it was weird to only have male friends, it just happened. Maybe it was because of your brothers. Maybe that’s why you never acted like a proper girl. Of course you felt like a woman and you liked your body, but in your eyes it was so much easier to talk to guys.
“Eyy, where did you found him?” Michael slurred and helped you to put your friend on a chair again. With your hands finally free you had the chance to explain. “Found him outside. I don’t know what he did there, but he talked to the singer.”
Both, Isiah and Michael nodded. It was only logical for Bonnie to freak out after it talking to her. He was there every Friday night looking for the singer and now his brain seemed to melt, just because she said something to him. But neither of you knew, what she said exactly. Maybe this was a problem for another night. It didn’t look like Bonnie was able to answer.
So you ordered some more drinks and sat back down again. In this separate room, which was reserved for your family, it was almost too tempting to get close to your boyfriend again. Isiah looked so good that night and it hurt to be unable to touch him… or to kiss him. But you would be satisfied with just holding his hand now.
It was a curse; you knew it soon after you realized that you loved him. He was handsome, charming and a loyal friend. There was no better man for you, even though you wished you could be together in public. And again you bit your lip and moved your chair away from him.
But you couldn’t think about this anymore, it was too frustrating and luckily somebody else caught your attention. It was Bonnie who mumbled very quietly: “I think she kissed me, but it could be a dream as well. It felt so surreal.”  You padded his shoulder and nodded to underline your compassion.
It was just the same with Isaiah. Whenever you two were alone, it was amazing and beautiful. He was so soft and romantic and he just made you happy. But every time you woke up and he was gone, the sweet scenery shattered. And out in public it was getting annoying to find excuses to be with him or getting away, so you could spend some time alone with him and you had to lie to your whole family about your whereabouts. Slowly it became exhausting.
There was nothing you could do about it, so you just drank your whiskey and talked with the boys about Bonnie’s singer and the girl Michael had. It was so easy for them to display their relationship in the public, but of course you didn’t have this privilege as a girl. Apparently, you needed to be protected. Or so it has been explained to you. You wasn’t concerned for your safety but for your freedom. Tommy said it was his job as your big brother to care for you, even if it felt like he was controlling you. You have always been the wild one among your siblings and everything was fine, until your mum died and your dad left. Then Tommy was in charge and sometimes his opinions would vary from yours, which led to fights. And yet you feared what he might do, if he found out about your secret.
All the sudden Bonnie fell from his chair and you groaned. Now somebody had to bring him home as well. First Finn and now him… but why they couldn’t take the whiskey today? You weren’t nearly as drunk as them, but still.
Isaiah stood up and picked his friend up. “I’m taking him home. I’ll be right back”, he said, before leaving.
Now Michael and you were alone. It wasn’t what you wanted. The only thing you could think of was smooching the sweet lips of your boyfriend. You were caught up in your little fantasy, when your cousin woke you up again. “Isaiah is acting weird lately.”
“Oh… really? I didn’t notice”, you replied: “He seemed normal to me.” Your hand grabbed the fringe of your dress. Talking about him made you nervous.
Michael moaned and fumbled for his cigarettes. He put them out, you took one and he turned his between his fingers, when he added: “I don’t know, maybe I’m getting paranoid, but I think he is hiding something from us.” Then he lit his cigarette and took a drag from it.
You inhaled sharply and stared into the void for a second, before answering: “Don’t be silly, he is just as loyal as ever.” Then you laughed and Michael joined in. “Yeah, you’re probably right. I just needed to get this off my chest.”
The rest of the conversation went just like usual. You chatted, you bickered and you had fun. While the bell already announced the new day, Isaiah came back.
In this tiny glimpse of a moment you couldn’t hide your smile and he reciprocated. Actually, you were just waiting for Michael to leave now. It was your plan all along, but patience has never been your strong suit.
It took three more rounds for Michael to say goodnight. “Take care of her, will you?” Isaiah nodded. When Michael finally grabbed his jacket and headed to the door, you felt unbelievably excited. Your fingertips slapped a melody on the table, while you watched him leaving. The door shut and now you had what you longed for all night.
You turned around and looked at him. Gosh, waiting felt like an eternity. Now you were the one smiling like an idiot. Slowly Isaiah came closer and his hand pulled you to him for a kiss. “Finally”, you whispered against his lips, before giving him what he wanted.
After you two parted you rested your head on his shoulder. Now you were getting tired as well, but you didn’t want to go to your bed. “I was waiting the whole evening for this”, he moaned and stroked your hair.
The smell of his perfume made you realized how much you missed him too, even though he was with you since you went to Garrison tonight. You moved closer to him and wrapped your arms around him to give him a tight squeeze. Then you signed: “I wish we didn’t have to hide” and buried your face in his shirt.
“Babe”, he replied: “We already had this conversation. It wouldn’t end well. Let’s just enjoy what we have as long as we can.” It hurt, but Isaiah was right. There was no chance Tommy was getting you off the hook, once he knew about it. And no matter how you explained it to him, he would still be against it. You were too young for stuff like that, as if he didn’t fucked Greta, when he was the same age.
You leaned back to see his beautiful face again. There was something in his eyes, a twinkle or something like that, but it always made you feel comfortable. A lick of your lip was enough to purpose the idea of doing something nasty. He knew you since you were children and it was like he could read your thoughts, especially the dirty ones.
Isaiah started giggling and asked: “Hey, babe, I still can cheer you up, right?”
Maybe it was time for some fun, different to the fun you had before with your friends. The word pleasure would describe it well and with his knowing look he gave you so many ideas. You laughed and nodded. “I think it might help when you do the thing with your tongue.”
“Oh”, he responded amused: “Like this?” And then grabbed you for a kiss and god, what a kiss it was. His tongue brushed your upper lip just to enter your mouth and explore it as if it was your first kiss. He even bit your lip playfully and kept going until you couldn’t breathe no more. Your knees started shaking and it was needless to say, he was the best kisser you ever had.
It took you a while to catch a breath again, but then you answered: “Yeah, just like this… But maybe we could go to your place and do a little more?”
He didn’t seem to be so sure about this suggestion. His thumb stroked your shoulder as he held you in his arm. Because he was so quiet for a second, you knew, he thought about this backwards and forwards. “But right when the sun comes up, you have to go back home”, he argued.
Again, Isaiah was right. You should take too many risks. Otherwise you might get caught and neither of you wanted that. All you could do was to shrug and agree: “Just don’t shoo me after we fucked.” There was bitterness in your voice. What wouldn’t you give to wake up next to him every morning?
The pub was almost empty, when you left. You couldn’t hold his hand on the way out. Everybody in Small Heath was Tommy’s spy. Back on the streets a cold wind blew. Now you had an excuse to go near him and he shared his coat with you. Isaiah was always so sweet and caring. You knew you wanted to spend your future with him. There was no other man and you wouldn’t get over him, not now and not in five years.
You even took off your shoes before entering the Jesus household and followed him on your tiptoes to his room. It was completely dark in the house and the silence was haunting, but good for you, you knew the way by now. The excitement made your fingers tremble.
Finally you arrived where you wanted to be the whole day, in his room. Isaiah closed the door as quietly as possible and started smiling. You walked up to him and started to unbutton his shirt. Now you didn’t want to waste any time.
And neither did Isaiah. He was ripping down your dress, which only worked because the straps were so thin. His hands were all over your body and you couldn’t stop kissing every inch of his skin. It felt like magic whenever he touched you. You moaned, when he played with your bare breasts. To silence you he put his thumb on your lips, which you took as an invitation to suck it. Maybe it was mean to tease him like that, but you were desperate for his affection.
An hour later you laid next to him, your head on his chest as he stroked your hair. “You should leave, before we both fall asleep, babe”, he whispered, which caused you to sign. Leaving now was draining, even exhausting. After this wonderful sex, you were too tired to move anywhere, not to the bathroom and certainly not back to your cold bed.
You pouted your lips and tilted your head, so you could give him your puppy eyes and a pretty please with cream and a cherry on top. “Just ten more minutes. Your bed is way comfier than mine.”
He laughed and kissed your forehead. “That’s just because I’m in this bed and you like to use me as your personal giant pillow.” Your fingers hovered about his belly. Even though his muscles weren’t tense now, you could still feel the strength lying beneath his skin.
While your index finger drew circles around his bellybutton, you whined: “Maybe… just maybe that is true, but I still want to lay here for a bit. Otherwise I start to feel like a whore, who only comes for sex and leaves silently afterwards.”  It wasn’t a knock against Lizzie or her job, but you didn’t like the feeling, when you got home and had to find sleep in your own bed. Even though you had a relationship with him, you still felt lonely. Especially when the sun was rising and nobody was by your side.
“You’re not a whore and you know that”, he argued looking a little concerned.
Then you turned on your back and stared at the ceiling. “No, I’m a Shelby and that is probably worse”, you scoffed.
Now Isaiah was silent and had no witty comeback for that. Maybe, because it was true. If you weren’t part of the family, you could be with anyone, whoever you wanted. Carrying the name Shelby was the only reason, why you had to hide your relationship with Isaiah.
After a while he mumbled: “Okay, stay for a while, but you should be back before they open the shop.” By that time you were already half asleep and yet his words made you smile. He wrapped his arms around you, the little spoon and purred like a cat. Just in this position the both of you fell asleep.
Loud steps were coming near the door, but they wouldn’t wake you up. The screaming of Isaiah’s name did. It was a familiar voice and it took you a couple of minutes to notice, it was your brother Finn who shouted and ran down the hall. Suddenly you were wide awake. You startled up and looked around the room. The sun was already up and shining through the window. Then you saw Isaiah, who was just as frightened as you were.
If Finn came rushing through that door, your secret relationship was no longer secret. “I locked the door last night”, he whispered, which was relieving to you, but still no perfect solution for this problem.
Now Finn arrived at the other side of the door and was knocking on it like crazy. “Isaiah, wake up! Y/N is gone. Nobody can find her and Michael said you were the last one with her in the bar”, your brother yelled. You could hear the panic in his voice, but you couldn’t get caught. Not now.
You stumbled out of the bed and collected your clothes, when you heard Isaiah ask: “What are you going to do? You can’t go out there. He will find out.” And you knew your boyfriend wasn’t concerned about Finn, more about Tommy.
The tension in the room was immense. You had to come up with a plan or your brothers would shoot your lover in front of your eyes.
Suddenly you knew what to do. You pushed the pile of clothing to your chest and squeeze it thigh, when you explained in a lower tone: “I’m gonna hide in the wardrobe and then you open the door and go with Finn away. Afterwards I can come out and then I go to the betting shop and tell the others I have fallen asleep on a bench or something.” It was not the best plan, but yet your only option.
Isaiah nodded and you climbed into the cabinet where he stored his shirt and jackets. The second you entered the small wooden space, you knew it was all going down. Call it intuition, call it divination, call it whatever power Polly owned, but you felt it rushing through your body. He closed the door behind you and then you could hear him stumble into his pants.
Only half clothed he unlocked the door to let Finn in. Isaiah was still sleepy. He wasn’t the morning type of person and before he hadn’t had his breakfast he wasn’t really available. Finn strode up and down. You heard is nervous steps. “Everybody is freaking out right now. Polly thinks somebody kidnapped her or worse. I mean, she has always been unratable in her doings, but this time my sister is really going of the edge. It’s already past lunch and nobody has seen her”, Finn explained: “This morning her bed was empty and I thought I shouldn’t worry, but now I’m afraid I should have said something sooner.”
The cabinet was very uncomfortable and yet you tried not to move or to make a noise, which would cause Finn’s attention. However, being in Isaiah’s position didn’t seem to be pleasant as well. He had to lie to his best friend about the whereabouts of his missing sister, knowing she was sitting right here. Isaiah patted his friends shoulder and said nothing.
Finn didn’t calm down and seemed to be upset, Isaiah wasn’t panicking like him. “C’mon, get dressed. We have to look for her. She might be lying somewhere in the dirt. We shouldn’t waste even more time, standing around.” Then he walked to the closet and opened just the door where you had been hiding.
Butt-naked you fell down to the floor and looked up to your younger brother, who had the same face expression as the one time you told him where the babies were coming from. Some when later you would look back at this moment and would have a good laugh about this, but right now it felt like your world was collapsing.
He should have seen you like this and it took you a whole minute to gather the mental energy to get back up at your feet and greet him like it was the normal thing to do in a situation like this. “Hey, Finny, there I am.”
Your brother froze mid movement and stared at you as if you were the first pink elephant the world has seen or a bear riding a bike. Then he broke the silence. “What?”, he winced. There was no anger in his voice, just total confusion.
Finn looked to Isaiah and then back to you. “You screwed my sister?!”
There was no answer to this question.
“How long?” Finn asked: “How long did you hide that from me?”
You glared over to you boyfriend as if you were asking him for permission to say something. Isaiah signed and nodded. There was no point in denying this anymore. It was over.
Now you had to tell the truth. “A couple of months, maybe a year or so”, you croaked and your voice sounded strange. Like it was not your own and even though you dreamt about finally opening up, it shouldn’t have been like this.
Your brother yelled: “A year?! A whole fucking year? Damn, I should be proud because apparently you two are excellent liars with no moral issues… you two deserve each other.” You heard the disgust and disappointment, when he spoke and it broke your heart. Back then, when the whole thing started you though he might be the only one of your brothers to understand you. How wonderfully wrong you were.
“No”, you said under your breath: “Don’t fucking do this to me. I would have told you, if you wouldn’t have run straight to Tommy after you knew. Everybody knows you can’t keep a secret. So don’t act like it was my fault or my mistake, because it’s not. I would have gladly told everybody, I’m like him very much, but you and Tommy and Arthur and John made it impossible for me to even talk with a guy who is not part of the gang. You can’t turn this around and act like you are the victim in all this.”
It was time for you to stand up for yourself and your decisions… and time for you to get dressed. You didn’t seem as responsible as you were when you were still naked and in front of the closed you have been hiding in. Now you knew how wrong it was to lie and hide your relationship, because it wasn’t their concern. It was your life, your body and your choice. Nobody could take that from you and certainly not your brothers. You weren’t afraid of them. All your life you saw how your brothers treated women and you said nothing about it, but this should change right now.
So you stood there, furious and filled with rage, put on your dress and your shoes and said one last thing, before leaving: “This madness has to end.”
You stormed out of the room- not caring for Isaiah or Finn- and heading for the King of Small Heath to throw him out of his high throne. Your hair was a nest and you smelled like a bar after a dirty old night, when you entered the betting shop. Nobody was there, just the regular family members.
Everybody seemed to be relieved to see you again and then came close to hug you. Ada was right next to the door and the first to greet you. “Oh my god, you’re back, sweetie”, she muttered.
Next was Polly who examined your appearance for cuts and other injuries. Of course you had none, besides the hickeys Isaiah gave you. She tried to take a closer look of your neck, but you pulled away, which caused her to ask: “What happened? Where were you all night?”
Now Tommy was coming up to you. His steps were slow, but fierce and the glare in his eyes was pinching. “Just from the smell I would guess, she was with a guy this night”, he scoffed: “She probably had a lot of fun, but now she should say, who that guy was, so we can take actions.” You knew he was addressing you, even though he didn’t phrase it like that.
“I don’t think, this is your business”, you replied with a grin on your face. You wouldn’t back down. Not this time. “But yes, I was with a guy tonight. So you don’t need to worry. I’m completely fine.”
Your older brother led out a little laugh, pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. “Well, well, well, I don’t care what you think. I’m your brother and it’s my job to make sure you’re safe”, he explained: “And now you tell me who he was.” Ah, past tense, a hint of what was going to happen.
You crossed your arms and tiled your head to give him a dismissive look. “Who said it was your job?” was your comeback, but your brother wasn’t remotely impressed. Neither of you would let the other win. You were too stubborn for this gesture of insight.
Others, including Arthur and John, were somehow intimidated by Tommy’s behavior, but not you. Actually, you learned too much from him to take his shit.  He taught you to help your head up high and how to outsmart your enemies.  Now you could use the same strategies against him.
“Ever since our father left and mom died, you act like you are in charge, but you’re not. We are your siblings, not your pawn, waiting for your command”, you hissed: “I have my own life and I make my own decisions and who I meet shouldn’t concern you.” Slowly your anger grew. It was a boiling feeling in your gut, like you were fueled with fire.
Tommy was getting gleaming red. You had hit the right spot and you knew you would hurt him with your words, but otherwise he wouldn’t understand. The words were stuck in his throat as he killed you with his looks.
Patiently, you waited for his answer. He wouldn’t give you the satisfaction, but silencing your brother was the best thing ever, since he was the reason why you felt miserable lately. “No comeback? No arguments, dear?” You loved to poke his wounds and you did it with a huge smile on your face.
“As if you would listen to me… You even said it yourself. You wouldn’t take my advice”, he responded and bid his lip. “But I don’t need to talk to you to teach you a lesson. You’re too young to fuck around town and I’m going to find the bastard who did this and kill him.”
The door was opened behind you and soon Finn entered the room. You gave your little brother the death glare you were known for. He shouldn’t get the idea he was allowed to talk about what he found out.
You should be raging right now, but all you could do was laugh. His empty threats weren’t as daunting as he thought. With nothing but spite you whistled: “I would love to see you try. I kept this a secret for over a year now and you noticed nothing. And now I can wait another year for you to find him… or I could run away… whatever you prefer.”
Now you’re pushing your luck. Finn could ruin everything, if he just said one wrong word. The palms of your hands were sweaty. It was a dangerous game you played there, but it was not like you could back out of it now. This was road of no return.
Tommy seemed to be more surprised than fuming, when he asked: “You slept with some geezers for a year now?” He respected your talent to keep it under the radar. Everybody who could shirk his rules deserved acknowledgement for putting up with this risk. Maybe he was finally realizing how much you had grown. You weren’t his little kitten anymore.
“No, not geezers, just one guy”, you corrected him: “But yes, that is true.”
You watched Tommy as he walked around the table, heading for the whiskey, while he nodded understandingly. “Mh, so you would say it’s love?”
A sign came from your lips. You already knew the answer, but you weren’t so sure, if you should say this out loud. After all, you didn’t even have a proper talk about this with Isaiah. Silence was filling the room, while you calculated your risks. If you said, you loved him and Isaiah wasn’t as serious about the relationship, you would look like an idiot. Good for you, he didn’t come to the betting shop to witness the fight between you and your brother. Finally you decided to tell everybody: “Yes, I do.”
“Good”, Tommy mumbled while he poured his whiskey: “Then you should have my blessing. Just give us the name now.” He took a sip and seemed to be amused by your embarrassment.
Talking about Isaiah, while he wasn’t present, was weird, but you knew why he stayed in the comfort of his own room. You weren’t mad at him for not running after you. This was your fight and not his. And after all your brothers were a little scary, when it comes to stuff like this.
But you had Tommy’s word now and nothing should happen to your man. You shrugged and rolled with your eyes. The fuss they made about this was still annoying.
Ada patted your shoulder and encouraged you to speak. “Do we know him?” The answer was yes, but it was also the reason, why you struggled to say it out loud.
Even John chimed in and kept pushing: “Yeah, what’s up with this fella?” He was smiling to let you know the mood had changed. Nobody was against you anymore.
“It’s…”, you started and fumbled for the seam of your dress: “It’s Isaiah.”
At first it was dead silence, while the others processed the information, then Arthur and John burst out in laughter. Finn seemed to be relieved, because he would have hated it to keep a secret like this. Your older sister was hugging you a little too tight and even Polly was smiling.
Tommy had a smug on his face when he muttered: “If that’s the case, then you should have your happiness.”
“Isaiah is a fine fella. You will be alright”, hummed Arthur. Apparently everybody was happy with your choice. You just had to stand up for yourself.
It felt like a huge weight was lifted off your shoulders and then you could laugh about it too. But suddenly you remember that Isaiah was still waiting for his death in his room. “I should go and let him of the hook”, you fluted and already went to the door when you heard Tommy said: “Don’t get pregnant or he has to marry you.”

Home Sweet Home
You bring Colson to your hometown for the first time.
Request: “Can you write a Colson imagine where you take him back to your hometown to meet your family and friends and he’s nervous everyone will hate him but everyone ends up loving him? And maybe include a run in with some girls from high school that are jealous 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️”
Colson Baker x Reader
Warnings: Cursing
A/N: I try to be as inclusive as possible in my fics but its hard when writing about families in this capacity, so I just went with the most generic family model possible. Also, my family is very unusual so I don’t really know how families interact… oop
Word Count: 2979
Tumblr media
“Will you stop freaking out, you’re making me nervous.” You placed a soft hand on the shaking leg of your boyfriend. “And they’re my family.”
He let out a sigh, the shaking stopping momentarily as he pulled you as close to him as possible in the back of your Uber. “What if your parents hate me?”  
Taking a deep breath, you assured him again, “my parents are not going to hate you. We’ve been over this; they’re going to love you.”
“Your dad is going to take one look at me and punch me in the face.” Colson said, a pout on his face.
You let out a chuckle, “he is not. And even if he does, you can take a punch.”
Despite your laughter, Colson remained stoic, “I’m serious Y/N, dads hate me. I look like everything you’d want your daughter to avoid.”
A sigh left your lips at his admittance of insecurity. “Babe listen to me, please. My parents are going to love you because I love you. And if they don’t then tough shit because you’re not going anywhere.”
He nodded, but you could still see the worry behind his eyes. “I just really want them to like me. They’re important to you, so they’re important to me.”
You smiled at the comment, heart fluttering. “I’m in love with you.”
He looked at you deeply, a smile falling onto his lips, “and I’m in love with you, princess.” His lips pressed a small kiss against the crown of your head and rested there until the car pulled up to your childhood home. You felt your boyfriend tense up beside you, so you reached for his arm that was around your middle, rubbing soft shapes through the sleeves.
“I’m gonna be right next to you the whole night.” You told him as you moved to open the door, breathing in the refreshing air. LA was lovely, but it was nice to be able to breathe properly in your hometown.
Colson grabbed your bags out of the trunk, even though you insisted you could help. “Go say hi to your family, babe. I got it.”
You pressed a small kiss to his cheek, whispering a small “see you inside” before rushing to the familiar front door. Years of memories lie beyond its wood, memories you were excited to relive.
Knowing your family would keep it unlocked for you, you turned the knob and pushed the door open. The smell of your family’s cooking filled your nose, and immediately members of your family found you.
“Y/N!” Your younger cousins screamed, racing over to you to hug you. The last time you’d seen them they were 5 and 7, now they were 8 and 10.
“You guys have gotten so big! Did you drink some sort of magic potion or something?” You asked, a smile on your face.
Your mom had told you that she and your father would be cooking, but you didn’t think they’d invited your entire family. Although, you should have assumed they would given how close your family was.
Once your cousins let go of you, you turned around to see Colson waving off the Uber driver and making his way to the door. You turned to your younger cousins once he got close enough for them to see him. “Guys, this is my boyfriend, Colson.” They gave small waves as you introduced them to Colson, who gave them a big smile.
“C’mon, babe. I’ll show you to our room.” You grabbed one of the bags from his hand, much to his dismay, and led him through the house. After you had moved to LA, your parents had turned your bedroom into the guest room, but some of the decorations from your younger years had remained on the walls.
Colson looked around the room, smiling as he thought of younger you growing up in here. “Is this a Bowie vinyl?” He asked, motioning to the vinyl record on the wall as he set your bags onto the bed.
You nodded, smiling wide. “Yep, got it for my 15th birthday. Signed and everything.” Your boyfriend nodded in appreciation as his eyes moved around the room. You wrapped your arms around his middle, cuddling into his chest. You could feel his heart pounding in his chest from how nervous he was. “You’re not gonna freak out and run off on me, are you?” You asked, a light humor in your voice.
Colson let out a dry chuckle, “no, I’ll be okay.” He mumbled, squeezing you closer to him. “But what if  we just stayed in here forever?”
You slapped his chest playfully, “c’mon loser, you’re coming to meet my family whether you like it or not.” You grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the door.
“Yes ma’am.” He saluted with his free hand, making you giggle.
You made your way into the kitchen where your mom was standing with your aunts and sister. Her eyes lit up when she saw you, “you made it!” She came over and gave you a tight hug, “How was the flight?” She asked.
“It was fine, we slept most of the way.” You smiled before turning to Colson. “Mom, this is Colson, you’ve met him over facetime a couple times now, remember?”
She smiled moving to pull him into a hug. He had a shocked look on his face but reciprocated the hug. You mouthed “sorry” to him, giggling silently. He just smiled and shook his head, letting you know he was okay.
“Of course, I remember! She talks about you all the time.” You blushed as Colson smiled proudly. “You’re much taller in person.” Your mom noted, making you and Colson chuckle.
“Yeah, I get that a lot.”
Your sister cleared her throat, grabbing your attention, “right! Colson, this is my sister and my aunts.”
They each introduced themselves politely. You told them you were going to go outside to find your dad and brothers. Before you left your sister pulled you to the side and whispered in your ear, “okay, I knew LA was full of hot guys, but how’d you manage to pull that?”
You laughed out loud, “Y/S/N! That’s so mean!”
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding.” She laughed, but then whispered again, “but seriously, god damn.”
You rolled your eyes, “next time I’ll bring you one back.” She giggled, nodding in encouragement.
You took Colson’s hand, ignoring his quizzical look, and led him to your backyard. “That wasn’t too bad, right?” You checked in on him.
He sighed, “no, but moms are never bad. If moms don’t like you, they’ll say it in secret. Dads will say it to your face.”
“My mom loved you, and so will my dad. Just trust me.” You smiled, squeezing his hand.
You found your dad sitting on a lawn chair with your grandparents. Your brothers were throwing a football around with some of your older cousins and uncles. You greeted the three in lawn chairs, your dad standing up to give you a hug.
“Hey, Y/N/N. How are you?” Your dad asked.
“I’m good! Glad to be home!” You smiled.
Your grandpa grunted, “you should never leave, then.”
You chuckled, leaning down to give both him and your grandma hugs. “You’ll be so sick of me in three days, you’ll be begging me to leave.”
Once you stood up straight, you motioned to Colson, “This is my boyfriend, Colson. You’ve kind of met him before, Dad.”
Your dad reached out his arm for Colson to shake, earning him a strong nod. “Strong grip. I like him.” Your dad looked towards you. You could tell he didn’t remember meeting Colson on facetime, but you hadn’t expected him to.
“Grandpa, you’ll like this. Colson knows all four members of Motley Crue.” You smiled, winking at your boyfriend.
The older man looked impressed, “really? I was a roadie on the Theatre of Pain tour.”
Colson nodded, a smile on his face. “I played Tommy Lee in their biopic and then, uh, we recorded a song together.” You grinned proudly as the two talked about their experiences with the band.
Your dad put a hand on your shoulder, shaking you lightly, “You happy?” He whispered.
You turned to look at him, “yeah. He’s a good guy, trust me.”
Your dad nodded, “oh, I can tell. Just wanted to make sure.” You thanked him, watching your boyfriend interact with your family. “Now you gotta introduce him to your brothers.” He chuckled at your sigh.
“Do I have permission to punch them if they act like assholes?” You asked, only kind of joking.
Your dad pushed you towards the lawn, “I see nothing.” You smile, grabbing Colson’s hand and leading him away from your grandpa once they’d finished their conversation.
“Okay, so I knew you were freaking out about my parents, so I didn’t want to freak you out even more.” You started, causing a panic look to cross Colson’s face. “My brothers are…” you searched for the words, “assholes. But like, loveable assholes. But they’re probably gonna give you shit, but it’s out of love. But I have no problem hitting them if you want me to.” You smiled.
He raised an eyebrow, “normally I’d say that’s my job but I feel like it’d be easier for your family to forgive you than me.” You laughed, pulling him to the guys and introducing him.
It turns out, your brothers actually really liked Colson, which was somehow worse than them hating him. Because it meant that they stole him from you. When you went back inside to talk more with your mom, your brothers demanded Colson stay outside with them. He seemed happy, so you let him stay, excited that your family was taking to him so well.
An hour later, dinner was almost ready, so your brothers started to set up the folding tables outside, which Colson gladly helped with. You were helping your mom finish up the last of the food, watching your best friend and soulmate through the window with adoration. He was helping your younger cousin put the tablecloth on the table, the scene reminding you of the time Casie and him took you out for a picnic on your birthday. You couldn’t wait to bring her here.
“You chose a good one.” Your grandma commented from behind you, making you jump a little bit. Once you registered her words, you blushed, mumbling out a thank you. “I can tell he really loves you. A granny can always tell.”
You smiled, “I really love him, too.” You turned back to check on him, catching his eye. He sent you a bright grin, making your grandma pat you on the shoulder before walking back to your mom to help her.
The rest of the night was magical, Colson by your side the entire time. Eventually most of your family left, leaving you and Colson to go to bed. You cuddled into his side, a smile on both of your faces. “They all love you, y’know?”
He hummed in response, squeezing your waist. “I love you.”
You chuckled, “you’re so fucking cheesy.”
 The next day you were determined to take Colson on a tour of your town, starting with the skate park you spent almost every day at in high school. “We would’ve been best friends when we were kids.” He said as you dragged him through the park.
“We’re best friends now.” You chuckled, pausing to press a kiss to his lips.
He hummed, “I think we’re a little more than best friends but okay.” You rolled your eyes, pulling him further into the park until you spotted a familiar face.
“Little Benny?” You asked, your face lighting up. The younger guy’s eyes widened, running up to you.
“Y/N?” he asked, pulling you in for a hug.
You chuckled, “You were like, 12 the last time I saw you, what the hell?”
The man laughed along with you, “well you were the one who ran off to LA miss big-time producer.”
You smiled, realizing he had probably checked up on you. Benny was about 7 years younger than you and had looked up to you almost his whole life. Seeing him so grown up was a strange experience for you.
You noticed him glancing to Colson, his eyes going wide. “You’re-“
You laughed, “Benny this is Colson, my boyfriend. Also known as-“
“Machine Gun Kelly!” The younger boy exclaimed, making Colson chuckle.
He reached out his hand, which Benny gladly shook, “nice to meet you, man.”
“Kells, this is Benny, my friend from high school. I taught him how to skate.”
“More like your protégé.” A female voice said. Behind Benny came Deanie, another girl his age you had taught. Benny’s arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into him.
You smiled at the two, knowing Benny had liked her since he was in middle school. “Hi Deanie.” You said, the girl smiling back at you. “This is Colson, my boyfriend.”
“Are you gonna skate?” She asked, eyes going wide.
You sighed, shaking your head, “sorry, guys. Maybe later, I’m just showing Colson around the town right now.”
Deanie and Benny both pouted, “damn, she goes off to Hollywood and forgets all about us.” Benny joked, making you all laugh.
You grabbed Colson’s hand, “We’ll see you guys later!” You waved, pulling the man away from the couple.
“It was nice to meet you!” He said, making you smile. “You seriously taught him how to skate?”
You nodded as you continued your trek to the diner you used to work at. “Yep, I taught most of the kids how to skate, although I guess they’re all his age now.”
Colson grinned, “so you’re, like, a legend here.” He commented, but you shook your head, laughing.
“No, I was a loser.”
“Not to those two, you’re not.” He said, swinging your intertwined hands. You rolled your eyes but didn’t say anything further.
You finally arrived at the small diner you used to work at. About 50 feet away from the door, Colson’s phone buzzed. “Shit, Slim’s calling.”
“Take it, I’ll grab a table and you can meet me inside.” He smiled thankfully, answering the call as you walked inside.
You immediately spotted Wesley, the cook you’d known since you were 16, through the order window. The smell of the diner was familiar, and for a moment you felt like you were walking in for a shift. You leaned against the bar, “Hey, Wes!” You called, drawing the cook’s eye.
“Little miss Y/N! Is that really you?” You smiled at the old man.
“It sure is! How’s the diner?”
“I’m still here, aren’t I?” You giggled at his response. Wes had opened the diner in the 90’s and swore he’d burn with the building.
You grabbed a booth in the corner, just in case there happened to be any peering eyes in your small town.
Unfortunately, your table was in Liza’s section, a girl who’d hated you since you were kids. You found it quite funny that she was still working at the diner after all this time, silently thankful that you’d gotten out of the town.
She scowled when she saw you but walked over anyways. “What happened? Strike out in Hollywood and now you’re back here trying to get your job back?”
Her voice was just as annoying as it had always been. “Or did your rich sugar daddy dump your ass and now you’re home begging for money?”
You wanted nothing more than to slap the smirk off her face, but you refrained. “Actually-“ You started, but you got cut off by your boyfriend.
“You have a sugar daddy and didn’t tell me about it? Babe I would’ve helped you scam him for so much more.” He smiled, sitting across from you, and grabbing your hand that was resting on the table.
Upon realizing who was sitting across from you, Liza stiffened. “You’re-“
“Y/N’s boyfriend, nice to meet you.” He smiled, an evil glint in his eyes.
“Machine Gun Kelly!” Liza said, her squeaky voice making you cringe.
“I prefer Colson, but yeah.” He sighed, looking back over to see your annoyed expression.
Liza looked between the two of you, a look at disgust on her face. “Seriously? Why the hell are you going out with her? You could do so much better.”
Your mouth dropped open in shock at her blunt rudeness. Colson’s jaw clenched as he spoke, “what, like you?”
The girl shrugged, not catching the sarcasm that dripped from his voice. “I’m just saying, I don’t know what she’s told you but she’s a talentless bitch whose probably only dating you for money or fame, or both.”
Luckily, Wes came out to the front of the house to greet Colson, stopping him from punching a girl in the middle of the restaurant. “Nice to meet you, man. I’m Wes, owner, cook, and the best boss Y/N has ever had.” Colson shook his hand, still glaring at Liza.
“Yep.” You agreed with the man. Your voice was soft to calm Colson down, which worked a little bit.
Colson shot the man a grin, “nice to meet you, Wes. Y/N talks about this place all the time.”
The look of pride on Wes’s face was unforgettable. “Well, if you two need anything, just let me know.”
Colson looked towards Liza, annoyance returning to his features, “do you think we could get a new waiter?”
You almost laughed seeing the look of shock on her features, but Wes happily obliged, handing your table over to a newer waitress. Liza had steam coming out of her ears, but you ignored her.
“Thank you.” You muttered. “She’s hated me since we were kids.”
He rolled his eyes, “Yeah I could tell. Couldn’t have her talking shit like that.” He squeezed your hand, “now, what’s good here?”

The House always Wins.
SO I finally got the Quackity and Revivebur story finished, and its twice the length of my normal stories because I couldn't help myself but keep writing. I tried to keep the rival banter between Quackity and Wilbur natural as best I could, so I hope you guys enjoy it. Remember to drink water and eat something today.
(also to those who wonder who the witch is that I reference here and there in my stories, I'm pretty much talking about myself since I'm working “magic” to get these stories out for you all to enjoy)
Wilbur knew that this was a really bad idea, Quackity was well known for his skills in playing cards, the few games from their time in Lamanburg showed that, but damn he wasn’t interested in the prize that was offered. He had left Ranboo to work on their newest plan while he took some time to blow off steam, it took everything in his power to not explode at the sight of Tubbo working in the restaurant, of course, the scared face bastard would do this when he couldn’t get his brother, he would just go for his best friend.
Wilbur chewed the end of his thumb harshly as he paced about in the woods where he could have some peace,” Why would he go to Quackity, he is the reason he died that day….. I needed him to fully convince Tommy.” He shook his head as he lifted his head to brush his hair out of his face,” no... I can’t keep dragging him into my things…. Fuck it…. I have Ranboo though, so I have that in my favor.” His mind went back to the fish tank though, did Quackity think he was funny for filling it with salmon, he really wanted to go back and destroy that tank, but that would just play into the subtle jeers-
“Delivery for Wilbur Soot from Lamanburg!”
Wilbur turned sharply to try and find the disembodied voice that broke him from his musing. He didn’t recognize the voice and it was really startling to hear someone in the one place he expected to be alone but was shocked to find the woods around him completely empty… no not empty, Near his feat was a letter that had a few green stains on its surface. He gently reached down and picked up the letter, running his thumb over the spots and realized that they were from slime residue...which was weird, The poker chip wax seal was very telling, however. “ We just saw each other, why would he send me a letter?” He gently slipped the small pocket knife out of his pocket and swiftly cut the top open and removed the letter, wrinkling his nose slightly at the smell of Quackity’s Cologne wafted out.
To Wilbur~
I know that we only just saw each other to discuss the wonders of our new competition. I'm sure you loved the fish tank just as much as I loved your idea of a personalized Ip for your burgers, but something interesting has come up. I think we should play a game of cards together to be a show of goodwill between us before our competition fully starts, just for old times sake. I managed to get in contact with a certain witch that roams the area and they gave me something that will make the reward for winning all the more sweeter. If this is of interest to you, meet me at the needle where we talked before with Tommy at sunset.
May your business do well,
Quackity.
Wilbur furrowed his brows slightly as he read over a particular line, what could that witch provide for Quackity, and what was that reward? The subtle jabs at his burger van just fired up his anger once more, but the thought of beating Quackity was too tempting. “ Guess I need to get out my old pack of cards to practice then.”
*
Quackity sat quietly at his desk while waiting for the news, gently twirling the small bottle with his fingers, watching as the bright teal liquid swirled around the sides with each move. If what that witch said was true, beating Wilbur in this quick game of cards would be worth it for the short time he would be under his control. That would only happen if Wilbur agreed to the game,” what am I talking about, his ego’s too big to refuse an opportunity like this.” He then leaned over to look at the bottle more thoughtfully, even if he lost to the Franken freak and was forced to drink this, he would be fine and could do some recon work. You can’t hide things from someone inside yourself when you're someone like Wilbur Soot, he wouldn’t be able to help himself but brag if he won,  and that's when he would slip.
“Dab me up! My mission was successful, Quackity from Las Nevadas!”
Quackity couldn’t help but jump when heard the cheerful exclamation from the slime-human- thing that slithered its way under the door instead of opening it like he asked multiple times,” Didn’t I tell you that you have to open- nevermind, did Wilbur seem like he was going to accept my offer?” Quackity’s face hurt slightly as he couldn’t help the wide grin as he watched Charlie nod, things were going how he wanted and he now needed to be ready, the game area needed to be set up. He quickly stood up and slid the potion bottle into his pocket for safety, heading for the door with a new sense of excitement, the newest battlefield for the two needed to be set.
*
Wilbur couldn’t hide the sneer on his face as he traveled across the sand towards Las Nevadas, of course, the one-eyed bastard would want him to come at this time, the flashy colors and lights were nearly blinding. The multitudes of colors were no doubt going to cause a migraine later on if he continued to look at them, it made him wonder how Quackity could stand them, but he could guess that others would think the same about his interest in TnT. He kept his head low as he walked past the few buildings to reach the space needle, giving a mild glare to the new burger restaurant with the ‘Tubburger’ sign as he passed it, but continued with his silent march forward. The needle stood brightly before him as he craned his head upwards to look towards the top, getting the faint idea that he could see a darkened shape at the top looking down at him, but that could have been his imagination. He gently readjusted his jacket before stepping into the elevator, letting his weight be fully supported by the rush of bubbles as he let his eyes close, not wanting to look at the lights any longer. His body stuttered slightly as it reached the top, and he opened his eyes to see a simple table sat in the middle of the grand room, and at its center sat Quackity;  shuffling cards quietly. Wilbur didn't say a word as he stepped from the elevator, using a hand to gently brush the damped hair away from his eyes, and strode forward to the empty chair that was across from his rival. He slowly sat down and placed his elbows on the table before placing his chin on his hands, watching on as the other continued to gently shuffle the cards in hand, moving them elaborate before starting to lay them out on the table. Wilbur was quick to realize that the game they were playing was poker, a classic choice for Quackity, and a game Wilbur was well familiar with. He waited until all the cards were laid out before he decided to speak,” You said there was a reward involved with this little game, you going to tell me what it is before I decide to go back down the elevator because as much as I enjoy playing with you; I’m busy.”
The scared man only smiled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bottle filled with a cyan liquid, and looked like no normal potion that he’s ever seen, before setting it in the middle of the table. “This my rival,” the way Quackity said rival made a quick shiver roll up his spine,” is the reward I was referring to, our neighborhood witch didn’t make it easy for me to get this much.”
Wilbur gently lifted the bottle and swirled it,” what does it do though, because I don’t think that you would have asked me here for a simple potion,” he paused as he thought over the second thing,” you talking about you know who right?” He grimaced as Quackity nodded,” they give me the creeps.”
Quackity only nodded,” yep, but they are good at making potions like this one, it has some very unique properties that I figured would make a fun reward for the winner of our game.” Quackity was quick in taking the bottle and setting back on the smooth table,” when taken, it allows for the drinker to shrink down to…snack size for a few hours, while also being safe from any form of physical damage.” Quackity crossed his arms and watched Wilbur closely, he could see the realization forming in those reddish-brown eyes, and the newly hungry look that matched his own,” once it wears off, the one who drank it will automatically be teleported to their last respawn point, you still interested in playing?”
Wilbur sat silently as he mulled over what he had just been told, he knew that playing cards with Quackity was never a smart decision, but the thought of having him curled in his stomach and left to Wilbur’s mercy was a hard treat to ignore. He could go back to his van and poke at his shrunken rival, or even lay down on the bed to feel the crushed form thrash between the mattress and the rest of his body. Wilbur couldn’t help the slightly sheepish grin as his stomach let out a low rumble that caused the other male to laugh loudly,” seems like your stomach spoke for you my friend, let's get started then.” Wilbur could only shake his head as he moved to pick up his cards, looking over his hand quickly and deciding he didn’t like his first pull, moving to exchange his lower card for a better option.
“So are we playing first to three, or first to three consecutive wins, any longer game and I'll starve~”
*
Quackity smiled softly as he looked over his current hand, he and Wilbur had decided on the three consecutive wins ruling, and he was currently on his second win in a row. He had to give Wilbur a lot of credit, the man could pull a bluff with the best of them and even Quackity was thrown off a few times, but he could see the slight creasing at the edge of his eyes that showed his frustration at how the game was going. He had an ace up his sleeve however, he decided to play fair for the majority of the game to see if his rival would, but things were dragging on way too long. He was swift in pulling out the ace he knew would be next in the stack, changing his straight flush into a Royal, and made a subtle move to make himself appear disappointed; but barely noticeable. He saw the slight twitch in Wilburs fingers, which showed Wilbur was excited,” Well Quackity, I think I'm about to break your streak again,” The man quickly laid out a perfect straight flush,” boom, there's no way you can beat that since I know we've already gone through the higher cards.”
Quackity let out a low sigh and he lifted a hand to lightly pinch the bridge of his nose,” Yeah yeah,” he held this pose for a moment longer to let Wilbur relax, but could help the smirk as he moved to lean forward,” but don’t you know in a game like this, the house always wins,” and laid down his Royal flush. He smiled wider as Wilbur looked down in shock, before his hands flew to the discard deck as well as the pull deck, clearly looking to catch him in his cheat. Quackity let him look, sparing a glance to the tiny amount of slime that was slithering away towards the elevator, watching the last bit of the ace card dissolve away.
“ There’s no way, I am absolutely positive that you cheated, you shouldn’t have the cards for a royal flush,” It was hard to not slam his hands on the table in frustration, but despite his best efforts, Wilbur could not find the card that should have been in the discard pile. He didn’t want to accept the fact he lost, there was no way when he had managed to slide in his own cheat card to ensure his hand, but he couldn’t ignore it at this point. He looked back up when he heard a soft scraping sound, and watched as his smirking opponent slowly slid the small bottle towards him, leaving it to sit before him as the hand pulled back and the fingers started to drum.
Quackiyt let his fingers softly drum against the table's surface as he watched Wilbur fight with his ego, he knew the man was absolutely steaming inside, but it would also kill him to show such weakness before him. He was going to be kind in this instant to let Wilbur drink the potion at his own pace, but the low rumble of his empty stomach reminded him of the fact he didn’t eat anything since he managed to buy the potion in the first place, and he wanted his reward. “Wilbur… I do think it's time for me to receive my reward, don't you think?” He fully allowed his tongue to swipe across what was left of his lips and his few exposed teeth, chuckling at the scowl he received in return for his statement, but continued to watch on with increasing impatience.
Each tap of the fingers sounded like the ticking of a clock, one he could no longer avoid, ” fine, you'll get your reward soon enough.” Wilbur quickly snatched up the tiny potion bottle off the table and popped the cork out with his thumb in a well practiced motion, feeling a little concerned when a faint vapor escaped once the cork was gone, but still brought it up to his nose to smell. The first smell that came through was an odd fruity scent that he didn’t recognize in the slightest, but also the musky smell of nether wart and a fish smell. It made him wrinkle his nose slightly, but as he took one last look at the barely hidden look of anticipation on Quackity’s face, he just decided to tip his head back and down the entire bottle. He nearly gagged as the syrupy like substance traveled down his throat, the odd fruity flavor was horribly sour and he thought he could taste something similar to fermented spider eyes, it was absolutely horrid. “Oh that tastes like absolute horse shit, you sure that witch didn’t sell you an awkward potion with a silly story.” The thought of this made Wilbur laugh, and laugh harder when he saw the look of doubt cross through his rival's face..but as he continued to laugh, the more light headed he felt. He moved one hand to rest on the table while the other moved to rest against his temple, the feeling was getting worse by the minute, he opened his to look up at Quackity… wait.
Wilbur was now looking up at Quackity instead of normally looking down at him, even when sitting he was taller, but now he was a few inches shorter than his equally shocked partner. He tried to speak, but his vision quickly darkened and he felt his body fall limply back against the chair, falling quickly into unwanted consciousness.
Quackity was quick to rush around the table to catch the rapidly shrinking body as it nearly fell off the chair when he went fully limp, the man was now the size of a small child and was still shrinking.  It was a memorizing process to watch as the normally six foot five man be reduced to the size of Quackity’s hand before stopping, this made him worry slightly, but the witch assured him that he would still be physically capable of getting him down safely. He used his fingers to gently move the miniscule man around in his palms, everything from his hair down to the glasses on his face were perfectly normal despite the change in size, it was quite amazing. He lifted the small body close to his face and frowned at the smell. It made him wonder if Wilbur showered at all, but he was determined as he slowly slid out his tongue to taste the exposed skin. He couldn't help his surprise at the taste that flooded across his tongue, it was a musty flavor that tasted way better than any meat he's ever had the opportunity to try, and he couldn’t help but lick the unconscious man again to get more of the flavor.
Wilbur groaned as the pounding in his head brought him back from his short sleep, and he could still feel the hot winds of the desert blowing on him as he tried to fully wake back up, what really shocked him away was the feeling of something hot and wet hitting the side of his face. His eyes opened to be met with a large tongue sliding away and back into the grinning maw that was right next to him, he tried his best to scramble away after giving a shocked yell. He was quickly gripped by the fingers and held still as he was pulled away from the mouth,” You absolute sack of shit, that's not a great thing to wake up to.”
Quackity couldn’t help the loud laugh at the smaller man,” Sorry Wilbur, I'm on a little bit of a time limit with my reward, I figured I’d have a spoiler before you woke up.” He lifted his other hand to gently poke the tiny face, pulling it back when it was nearly bitten. “I have to say i’m rather surprised with you Wilbur, you smell absolutely terrible, but taste rather good; like Blue cheese.” He watched the words sink in, and had to tighten his grip as the man started to thrash indignantly, clearly enraged by the comparison and his emphasis on the color blue. He made a mental note to be sure to bring that up more often during their next spat, but he didn’t want to waste more time as he lifted the squirming man until the kicking legs were level with his mouth, he wanted Wilbur to watch. “ Well Wilbur, I think it's time to show you to your room for your stay here in Las Nevadas, I hope you enjoy your stay, I know I will.”
Wilbur froze as he watched the giant mouth open wide and his legs were quickly slipped inside, the massive tongue making quick work of soaking his pants and licking at his skin, making him shiver in anger at how powerless he felt. He wanted to fight hard against the disgusting feeling, but he knew that would only make it more enjoyable for the man-eating him, so he was going to do absolutely nothing. He had to grit his teeth as his legs were slid further into the hot mouth, quickly being pressed into the rough pallet and licked roughly, his now devourer humming more at his taste. He moved to cross his arms and stare defiantly at the giant face looming before him, getting a better look at the giant scar that ran up Quackity’s face and how the gap in his lip was starting to drip saliva through the exposed teeth. He did get a moment to admire his looks however, and he had to admit the scar really added a rugged handsomeness, and he wouldn’t say how much the gold teeth did it for him. He gave an annoyed groan as he was shoved further into the mouth and the throat began its first power tugs at his legs while his pelvis fully entered the mouth. He sent an annoyed glare up at the half lidded eye that was watching his every reaction,” I thought you were on a time limit, just hurry up and let me get this over with!” The movement completely stopped for a moment other than the natural movement of the giant's breathing, but Wilbur watched as the giant lips moved to form a smirk and felt the tongue start to move with a new purpose.
He felt his face flushed as the tongue brushed against his side once he was pushed further into the mouth, clearly trying to incite laughter out of him; he didn't think Quackity would stoop that low. He soon couldn’t help the pearls of laughter that escaped him as he tried to shove at the hand still holding him and kicking at the now tightening grip of the throat, especially when he managed to make the man choke slightly from his thrashing. It gave him a bit of joy, but that changed when the head tilted back and Wilbur felt himself sliding further down the throat due to his own weight.
Quackity let his head fully lean back to let Wilburs own weight pull him further down his throat, the failing gave him a bit of a scare, but he was also having some issue breathing with just the legs. He took one more deep breath that caused the man in his mouth to freeze (i’m so dirty minded oh my goodness) and moved his hand so his fingers rested on Wilburs shoulder, and pushed down as he took a heavy swallow. This made the smaller man freak out slightly, the tiny hands moving to grip and his fingers and face, but he ignored this as he quickly slicked up the chest with saliva. He was glad the man tasted as good as he did because his mouth was slick enough to ussr the man down, and he felt a shiver of joy when the now yowling head was shoved past his lips and his tongue was quick to muffle the sound and could feel the weird sensation of Wilbur trying to speak against the flesh. He ignored it to start swallowing harder due to feeling a little light headed due the fact the wriggling form was creating a larger than he was expecting as brought his other hand to feel at the wriggling lump, and grinned when he felt the grasping hands slide off the back of his tongue. He left his hand over the lump as he continued to give hard swallows, grinning widder as it slowly slid under his collarbone and he could finally get a breath of air,” You didn't make that easy on me, that's just like you Wilbur.” He could still feel the form traveling through his chest and laid his hand over his stomach to wait till his prize entered, the organ giving a low growl to show its own excitement.
Wilbur couldn’t help the instinctual feeling of fear as he was fully shoved into the mouth, yelling wordlessly and trying to stop himself from being eaten, but was unable to resist the strength of the larger man. It was hard to breathe as his chest was held tightly by the throat as his face was assaulted by the humid heat of the mouth. He tried to yell for Quackity to stop, but his words were cut off by the tongue smacking him in the face. He was sputtering in rage before the muscles pulled him deeper and only his hands remained in the mouth, trying to grab at the teeth to slow his descent, but they were too slick as another swallow left him fully trapped in the crushing grip. He could barely move as the fleshy walls both pushed and shoved him downwards, that isn’t to say he tried, especially when he realized the secondary force rubbing at him was Quackity’s hand. He wanted to yell so badly, but with how tightly he was being compressed, he didn't want to waste what little bit of air he was able to get, especially when he slid into the tighter region of the chest. He tried to struggle harder when he slid past the heart and lungs, trying to cause any discomfort as the giant organs made his own head pound in pain due to the volume, and the loud rumble of the voice gave an extra layer of pain to his ego. His legs were suddenly forced to a stop and the walls of the throat began to force him into a painful half crouch as they tried to keep pushing him down,” Quackity you bastard-” his yell was cut short as his legs were suddenly pulled through a tight opening. It was another painful squeeze before he was roughly shoved into a space that was thankfully less tight as the throat, but the walls were sung and formed to his aching body like a wet sleeping bag. Wilbur could only brace himself partly as the walls let out a low rumble and began rubbing against him, moving up and down his body in practiced ways, trying to rub the accumulated liquid into his already soaked clothing and skin. It was at this point the resolve he was so desperately trying to hold onto shattered, he didn't want to be touched and didn’t want to acknowledge the rumbling voice that came from everywhere, so he began to mindlessly thrash in an attempt to get away from it all.
Quackity feld a mild wave of panic when he had felt Wilbur get stuck just above the entrance of his stomach, he didn't know what he would do before the large lump finally moved, and he felt slightly sick as his stomach stretched slightly to accommodate Wilbur’s size. He laid a hand over the surprisingly still form, his stomach making a low rumble as he tried to get a reaction from Wilbur, not admitting to himself that he was worried for them,” Your pretty still there Wilbur, you didn’t break did you?” The small form then exploded into a flurry of movement, he could feel what bump was either a leg or an elbow, but that didn’t matter as they equally made him feel sicker. He leaned over to try and still the movements while crossing his arms over the writhing lump, giving a low belch that brought back the deceptively good flavor, oh did he realize this was a mistake now. “ Fuck.. Wilbur stop moving around so much, all you're doing is making me feel sick, you're not going to come out the way you got in.” He gave another sickly belch before getting up from the table to get some water, feeling incredibly off balanced due to the new weight in his middle, and made his way to the elevator quickly.
Wilbur continued to thrash until he was completely exhausted, panting hard as the muscles around his spasmed slightly and were making a sickly churning noise. He fell back against the walls as he tried to gain his strength back, tensing slightly as his own stomach dropped and the whole area began to move. His mind tried to form an understanding of what was happening, and finally realized that Quackity was moving, maybe for the reason he was trying to say earlier. Wilbur couldn’t find the energy within himself to care though, he was tired and wanted to be asleep and get away from it all. He yelled loudly when he suddenly got drenched with icy water and that shocked his stressed mind back into reality,” What the fuck was that for, are you trying to drown me now?” He kicked out against the heavy weight that was pressing down on him and felt utterly confused when he both felt and heard the relieved sigh from his captor.
“Glad to see your back to normal, did you have a panic attack? You nearly made me sick, you asshole.”
Wilbur frowned but decided to not say anything about it,”I don’t know what you're talking about, this shit is only supposed to last for a couple hours right, I'm going to just ignore you and sleep it off. Once I'm back to normal we never speak about this again or so help me I will blow up Las Nevadas worse than I did La’manburg” He turned his body away from the hand and hunkered down in the surprisingly soft flesh, focusing on the giant heartbeat, and doing his best to ignore everything else of the man. He just wanted this to be over and never think about this again, even if the initial thought of swallowing Quackity seemed like a good idea.
Quackity sighed as he felt the man turn away from his touch, can’t say he didn’t blame him,” agreed, I'll be happy when you're gone and not giving me a stomachache.” He slowly stood up and made his way towards his bedroom to also sleep, this whole experience was not worth it at all. He had originally thought about trying to get more of the potion for future use, but seeing how one unwilling ‘snack’ reacted, any other would be just as bad or worse. He gave a small wave to Charlie as he passed him, giving him a quick rundown on what to do before making his way to the bedroom, and immediately laying down on it. The tiny man gave another nauseating wriggle at the rough landing, but thankfully settled back down into a warm lump.
He gently traced his fingers over the lump for a few minutes as he tried to sleep, if only the movement didn’t make him sick, this experience wouldn’t have been that bad.
Maybe a willing person would make it better.

This whole Mob AU has it's hooks in me ya'll so here you go.
Criminal King Steve courting his Queen.
- It happens like this. Steve has always been spoiled. Has the whole "I want it, I got it" mentality. And that's applied to lovers to. He lost his virginity at the age of fifteen to Amanda Grady behind the hardware store. But Anthony Mueller was his first kiss at eleven years old. You see the WHOLE TOWN knows not too fuck with Steve Harrington. It's not that he'll kick your ass, cuz he won't. Has never laid a hand on another soul. But Kings usually don't. They have grunts for that. And since the age of seven Tommy has been laying kids out for King Steve AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT. Cuz of course Mr. Harrington appreciated someone taking care of Steve. Meant he didn't have to. So Tommy never gets detention EVER. And while he doesn't go parading his boyfriends around (he's not stupid), no one ever gives him shit for it when he has a "friend" sleep over on a Wednesday night at the age of seventeen and comes to school covered in hickies the following Thursday morning.
- So when Billy beats Steve's keg stand record at Tina's Halloween party and comes vaulting his drunk ass over that damn couch to stare Steve down, Steve is fucking living. This boy is a hurricane trapped inside the most gorgeous body he's ever scene and he wants. And King Steve always gets what he wants. Gives a lazy smile and gets up really close to Billy. "I'm impressed Heartbreaker. Must not have much of a gag reflex huh?"
- And Billy is not ready for this sober let alone post keg stand. Cuz his dad moved them cross country to scare the "queer" out of him and this boy is so so pretty. He should take a step back. Regroup. Push him away. But he doesn't.
- King Steve takes him back to his lonely castle and ruins him. Spreads him out on silk sheets in a four poster bed like he's something precious. Something adored. Something worth the trouble and the time. Goes home in the morning sore enough that he's walkin a little funny but in all the best ways.
- After that though? Billy notices things get a little strange. Because when he first got here all the girls lined up just to stare as he got out of his car. Now? Now they wave at him. Like they've been friends for years. And what the hell? He's blatantly late for class and doesn't get a tardy slip. At lunch after all of the chocolate muffins are gone the lunch lady somehow procures one with frosting on it for Billy free of charge. It has him on edge. He knows good things are never free and it seems he's running quite the tab. Makes him antsy, waiting for the catch. But when Steve waves him over to eat lunch with his advisors and generals he relaxes a little. Cuz maybe that's just what it means to have friends in high places.
- Not only that but his dad isn't even suspicious. Has absolutely nothing to say about the new boy he's been hanging with. Doesn't even know he exists which. Weird. Because his dad has always been the type to ask around about his son. Makes sure Billy and his sick twisted desires don't come back to embarrass Neil. But he's not gunna look a gift horse in the mouth.
- And Steve keeps giving him things. The new Metallica album a week before it's out (how in the fuck...?), a black leather jacket that's buttery soft to the touch, even gives him a new earing. A dangling cross with a diamond in the center. And Billy knows he looks good okay? Is confident in his skills in bed. So initially he's sure that's why Steve treats him like this. Cuz they've fallen into bed together almost every other day since Tina's party and it's good. Fucking fantastic sex alright? Billy's never had anyone as good as Steve Harrington. So if the king wants to throw pretty baubles at him then so be it. It's not like it's a struggle or anything.
-But then Billy gets sick. Like he's not dying (he would very much argue this) but it's a bad flu bug. High fever, aches and pains the whole bit. Billy doesn't get out of bed for two days. It's so bad even his dad lays off to an extent. So when the doorbell rings Max has to get it even though technically Billy is babysitting while Susan and Neil are out for date night. And there stands Steve Harrington with an easy smile and a plastic bag full of cold medicine and homemade soup.
- And Max is low key freaking the FUCK out because her friends at school told her all about king Steve. Mike's sister is his best friend so he actually sees the kids quite often. And while Mike isn't his biggest fan he still concedes he's a pretty nice guy whenever it comes to them. Brings them the GOOD sugary snacks and a pizza whenever he stops by during their DnD campaigns. But she also knows he's probably the most powerful person in town. Has got Will's older brother on his payroll. Has somehow heard about Billy being sick when she hasn't told anyone. So she's wary when he asks to come in and see Billy. Cuz even if he's an asshole he's her brother and if this guy is here to fuck with him then she's gunna stage a coupe.
- But Steve just smiles big and sheepish. Tells her he was worried when Billy didn't show up to school. Wanted to know if he was okay. Made soup and everything. So she lets him in and directs him to the door down the hall on the left where Billy is working through a fever of 101.2. Tells him she loves her brother very much. That she'll be in the next room over. Then turns around and runs to her room, her red hair a battle flag in the wind. Steve likes her instantly.
- Billy was super out of it the whole time but he's pretty sure Steve Harrington stopped by and fed him soup. Gave him expensive cold medicine that knocked him the fuck out and read to him when he wavered in and out of consciousness. And that.. That's dangerous. Because Billy knows that's not something you do for just anyone no matter how good of a fuck they are. That's something you do for someone you have feelings for. And Billy can't have that. That's not how his life works. He doesn't get to keep someone like Steve. But when Billy goes back to school Steve is there waiting by his locker with a smile and a coffee made just the way Billy likes it. Feels his heart flutter like the traitorous little mother fucker it is. And falls in love with Steve Harrington right there five minutes before English on a Monday morning.

IRL Benchtrio Tickle Fic (creative, I know)
Welp, here you go! This is my first ever fic, and I’m actually kinda happy with how it turned out. 
Summary: Ranboo’s staying with Tubbo in the UK, and Tommy goes over to visit them. However, Ranboo ends up finding himself in a,, mood, of sorts. He overthinks the situation too much and ends up freaking out, but luckily, he’s got two awesome friends who are there for him! (hurt/comfort)
~This is a tickle fic! If that’s not your thing, then move on please~
TW - Panic attack, self deprecating thoughts, let me know if I need to add anything else
Ranboo had been in the UK with Tubbo for a couple days now, and the two of them have been having a blast, the pure joy and excitement of finally getting to see each other in person had given them the energy to keep going constantly over the past two days, with them doing multiple streams and other activities. They had decided to meet up with Tommy that day, planning to record a vlog for Tommy’s vlog channel, but the past nights of practically no rest had caught up to the two, and when Tommy arrived at Tubbo’s house and saw how exhausted they appeared, he insisted they take the day to rest. They could record the vlog later, it wasn’t a big deal.
Of course, Tubbo and Ranboo immediately protested, but once Tommy made up his mind he was a force to be reckoned with. Eventually they settled to spend the day relaxing at Tubbo’s house, no cameras, and Ranboo had to admit, it was pretty nice. The three of them hadn’t had the chance to just talk without the stress of cameras being in their faces for quite a while, and they all needed the chance to just mess around and act like kids. No need to worry about carefully choosing their words to avoid any discourse. 
Tommy was currently sitting in the chair at Tubbo’s desk, aimlessly spinning in circles as he recalled the events of the previous day, waving his hands around with an animated expression. Tubbo and Ranboo were seated on opposite ends of Tubbo’s bed, Tubbo laughing at Tommy’s over dramatic retelling of,,, something. Despite his best efforts, Ranboo couldn’t seem to pay attention to Tommy’s words. He told himself that he didn’t know what was causing his fidgety mood, but he knew he was lying to himself. 
Earlier that day when Tommy first arrived, he shoved the door open with his usual flair, and loudly announced his arrival. Obviously excited to see him, Tubbo and Ranboo rushed over to greet him. Ranboo had instantly gathered Tommy up into a hug and held him close. And despite the show Tommy put up of not liking Ranboo, he latched onto the other as well, though of course not without poking fun at the other for being so eager to greet him, and a few playfully exchanged insults. That had been great, the thought brought a smile to his face. The part that had Ranboo squirming in his seat right now, was the way Tommy scribbled his nails into his sides after not being able to come up with a witty comeback to one of Ranboo’s playful jabs. It was brief, and after laughing at the squawk Ranboo let out good-naturedly, he dropped it. But, it was more than enough to send Ranboo’s brain spiralling into a lee mood, which only intensified as the playful atmosphere in the room continued.
Ranboo had told Tubbo before about this,,, liking of his before, and he had responded with only positivity, and he knew deep down that Tommy wouldn’t judge him either, but he still tried to forcefully shove the mood down, still telling himself that it was weird, and that Tommy and Tubbo would surely mock him if he admitted to them how he was feeling. 
The only problem was, while Ranboo was lost in thought, the other two had noticed how unusually quiet he had been, and Tommy paused his storytelling, asking if he was alright. At the attention being turned to him, Ranboo froze up, and his nerves kicked in, but he still tried to play it off. 
“I-I uhm, y-yeah, I’m fine.” Ranboo cursed himself for his lousy attempt to reassure them, and the other two clearly didn’t buy it.
“You sure, ‘Boo? If we’re doing something to make you uncomfortable, you can tell us.” Curse Tubbo for being so damn sweet, and those big, worried eyes that were carefully observing him. Ranboo fidgeted in place, refusing to make eye contact with either in the room. He was silent, getting increasingly frustrated with himself. Why couldn’t he come up with a response? Why did he have to be so bad at social interaction? This is so stupid for me to get worked up about, just say something! 
As Ranboo remained silent, Tommy and Tubbo’s concern for him only grew, and Tommy pushed himself up from the chair he was sitting in. making his way over to sit on the bed next to him. Seeing how uncomfortable Ranboo seemed, they didn’t push him to talk anymore, and both shuffled around to sit on either side of him. Ranboo risked a glance to his side, and, catching his gaze, Tommy offered him a kind smile, slowly reaching out to softly grasp his hand. And, oh shit, Ranboo could feel that familiar burning behind his eyes, and he quickly pulled his knees up to his chest, burying his face into them. God, why were they always so sweet to him? He was getting so worked up and upset over a stupid mood, and couldn’t even manage to say anything to them! In his frustration with himself, the tears in his eyes began to overflow, and his breath hitched.
Tubbo pressed up closer to him, bringing his arms up to wrap around Ranboo, before he paused.
“Hey, ‘Boo, it's alright. Can I touch you?” Ranboo managed a nod at that, and Tubbo wrapped his arms around him, pulling him close. It was a little awkward with Ranboo being so much taller than him, but the embrace still served its purpose and Ranboo melted into his touch. Tommy brought his free hand up to Ranboo’s back, rubbing circles into it.
“Hey, Ranboo, it's okay. We’re here. Breathe with me, yeah?” He hadn’t even noticed how his breathing had sped up, but he allowed Tommy to guide him through the panic attack, as he counted their breaths, in and out, moving the hand on his back up and down along with the rhythm. 
After a few minutes of counting and failed attempts, Ranboo had managed to considerably calm down. In that time, the three of them had managed to maneuver into a laying down position, both Ranboo and Tubbo practically laying on top of Tommy, nearly crushing him, but somehow, they were comfortable. After a couple more moments of them all breathing together, Tubbo broke the silence.
“Hey, ‘Boo, you think you could manage to tell us what happened? You don’t have to, but it would help Tommy and I be able to help you.” Ranboo took a deep, stuttering breath, before he opened his mouth to speak. His voice was rough and scratchy, but he pushed on anyway. 
“I-Its stupid, really. I was just in a certain, u-uh,, m-mood, and got frustrated with myself. I-I’m fine, really, I was just upset that I couldn’t say what I was thinking.” Tubbo caught on to what Ranboo meant by “mood” pretty quickly, Ranboo having told him about it before. Tommy still didn’t know what he meant by that, but pushed on anyways, and spoke up. 
“That's not stupid at all, not being able to say what you’re thinking can be really frustrating and scary. You did a great job just now, though, with telling us what happened, I’m proud of you for that.” Ranboo whined at the slight praise, though he couldn’t deny how Tommy’s words and reassurances made him feel better. 
Tubbo forced himself to sit up, stretching his arms and rubbing his eyes. 
“Why don’t we put on a movie? And, uh,, if you wanted to um,, do something about that mood, ‘Boo, we could. Or not! Whatever you’re comfortable with, I don’t wanna push you! We could just watch the movie!” Tubbo was hesitant to offer; not because he didn’t want to help Ranboo with his mood, oh no, he just didn’t wanna make him uncomfortable, or make him feel like he had to.
At the offer, Ranboo felt his face heat up. Wow, and to think that he could have just gotten that so easily. Ranboo pushed the mildly self-deprecating thought away, and shyly nodded in response, hiding his face in his hands. Tommy, still confused as ever, just watched their interaction, not saying anything.
Tubbo gently pulled one of Ranboo’s hands away from his face, offering him a reassuring smile.
“Is it alright if I explain to Tommy, ‘Boo? You know he would never judge you.” Ranboo looked away and nervously bit his lip, but nodded after a few moment’s hesitation, pulling his hand back. Tommy looked between the two, his confused expression growing concerned, both because he was worried this “mood” Ranboo was in was something bad, and because Ranboo had thought that he would judge him for it. Tubbo noticed Tommy’s concern, however, and was quick to set him straight as he guided Ranboo to lay down on the bed of his back. 
“Don’t worry, Toms, it's nothing bad. Ranboo explained it to me over Discord one night. I’m pretty sure he called it a ‘lee mood,’ which basically just means that he's in the mood to be tickled!” Tubbo didn’t miss the flustered squeak that Ranboo let out when he said the word, and smiled fondly at him, even though Ranboo couldn’t see it, since he was covering his face. 
Tommy, upon hearing that indeed nothing was wrong and this “mood” was something as sweet and innocent as that, instantly lit up. 
“Awe, Ranboo, that's so sweet! There's nothing wrong with that at all! You want us to tickle you, big man? Is that alright?” Ranboo squeaked again, and thought this just may be the most flustered he's ever been, but it’s not a bad feeling. Definitely not. 
He couldn’t even attempt to hide how happy Tommy’s positive response made him, and at the light, teasing tone in Tommy’s voice towards the end sent tingles down his spine. Unable to find his words, Ranboo just nodded in response, curling up slightly. He let out yet another squeak as he felt someone’s hands on his sides, unable to hold in his anticipatory giggles even though the hands weren’t even moving yet. He shyly peaked out from behind his hands to see who had placed their hands on him, only to immediately hide again as the other two cooed at his reaction. 
“Giggling already, ‘Boo? I haven’t even done anything!” Ranboo shook his head in response, his giggles heightening in pitch. 
“Dohohon’t tehehease!” Tubbo pouted playfully at Ranboo, not that he could see him.
“Awe, why not? It's fun teasing you, because I get to see your adorable little flush and hear your sweet giggles!” Ranboo only whined louder, causing both lers to laugh. 
Tubbo began to lightly massage little circles into Ranboo’s sides where his hands were laying, occasionally scratching his nails into the sensitive skin. Ranboo, his sides being a fairly bad spot and already being wound up from the teasing and anticipation, let out an embarrassingly loud squeal, arching his back.
“Whoa, did you see that Toms? His sides must be sooo ticklish!” Tubbo snickered. 
As much as he was enjoying watching Tubbo tickle Ranboo to bits, Tommy decided he was bored of just watching, and would find a spot as well. After a couple moments of consideration, Tommy fluttered his fingers over Ranboo’s neck, gasping excitedly at the squeaky giggles the spot produced. Ranboo shook his head back and forth and scrunched up his shoulders, still keeping his hands over his face. 
“C’mon, ‘Boo, stay still for me, yeah? It’s hard for me to tickle you when you’re moving around all over the place.” 
Ranboo still couldn’t believe this was actually happening, it had been such a long time since he’d been tickled, he honestly wasn’t sure where he was ticklish, or even if he was ticklish at all anymore. 
So when Tommy’s fingers glided over his ears by accident, even he was surprised by the shrill shriek that he let out. The sound startled the other two into stopping for a moment, and Ranboo felt himself flush darker. He was about to start apologising when suddenly Tommy’s fingers were back to his ears, tracing his nails around the shells of them. 
“Holy shit ‘Boo, I didn’t even know someone’s ears could be so ticklish,” Tommy giggled. 
“SHUHut uhuhuhup!” Ranboo’s plea fell on deaf ears, as Tubbo picked up his tickling at Ranboo’s sides. 
“No fair! How come Tommy gets the good spot?” Tubbo playfully complained, a childish pout on his face. Tommy let out his signature barking laugh, and stuck his tongue out at the other. 
“Sucks to suck, bitch boy!” Tubbo just huffed in response, deciding to try out a different spot; maybe he could find a spot worse than his ears. 
Ranboo would normally laugh at them and play along with their childish antics, but something about how they were talking about tickling him so casually was extremely flustering to him.
“Guhuhuys! NohoHOHO!” Tubbo’s fingers had pressed into the divots between Ranboo’s ribs, vibrating them in place. Ranboo threw his head back in laughter, his hands finally leaving his face to instead latch onto Tubbo’s wrists, though he didn’t push them away. 
Tubbo grinned victoriously, flashing Tommy a cocky smirk as Ranboo began kicking his legs out underneath him. Tommy just growled in response, immediately searching for a new spot. He experimentally squeezed at Ranboo’s thigh, being rewarded with another hiccup, but not much else. Tommy pouted as Tubbo cackled at him, narrowing his eyes at the shorter.
“‘Sucks to suck,’ huh Toms?” Tubbo mocked, eyes lighting up as he reached Ranboo’s upper ribs, causing Ranboo to let out a louder hiccup than the others and a squeak. 
Ranboo couldn’t even attempt to form proper words now, between how hard he was laughing and how flustered he was, and he was enjoying every second of it. After a bit longer, Tubbo began to slow down his fingers, allowing Ranboo to take a breather. 
As Ranboo began to recover, Tommy smirked as he got an idea. He gracelessly shoved Tubbo off of Ranboo, earning him an undignified squawk from the shorter, before he sat himself on Ranboo’s hips and unleashed all ten of his fingers along his belly. 
Ranboo jolted like he was electrocuted, not expecting the sudden attack, before snorting and falling into loud belly laughter. As Tommy crowed victoriously, Tubbo couldn’t even bring himself to be upset that he lost their little ‘competition,’ instantly cooing at Ranboo. 
“Awwe, does someone have a ticklish belly?” After a moment of violent thrashing, Ranboo went limp, and just accepted his fate. Even though he was laughing so hard his belly was starting to hurt, and he could feel tears prickling in the corners of his eyes, he couldn’t deny how good this felt. To be so carefree around his friends, not even trying to muffle or contain his reactions as he snorted and laughed to his heart's content. 
“NAHAHAHA- *snort* T-TOHOHOMS!” Tommy laughed as his name was called out, pulling his hands away from Ranboo’s belly, flopping on the bed next to him. Tubbo climbed back up on the bed as well, laying himself across the other two. Tommy grunted from Tubbo’s weight being added onto him, and pulled Ranboo into his arms, rubbing his back soothingly. Ranboo buried his face into Tubbo’s hair, trying to regulate his breathing. After a minute of comfortable (almost) silence and Ranboo’s giggling still hadn’t let up, Tubbo laughed, rubbing his shoulder. 
“You alright, Boo?” Ranboo nodded, his head falling back against the bed, taking deep breaths.
“Y-yeahahaha, I’m goohohod.” Tommy fondly rolled his eyes as the giggling still didn’t completely stop, pulling the two closer to him. Tubbo shifted around, wrapping himself around Ranboo, before relaxing and closing his eyes. The only two followed shortly after him.
“Softyinnit.”
“Shut the fuck up Tubbo.”
