HEY NEIGHBOR PART 25 | HEY NEIGHBOR MASTERLIST
Breath fogs the window as you stare out of it, a grey haze has rolled over the city, the sky a sunless landscape of thick clouds and cold winds. It snowed the other day and what remains on the streets has become soot covered or murky slush. It’s nicer to stare at the white dusting on the branches of the trees below, taking in the soft peace of the afternoon.
The world has grown quieter over the past few weeks, your world at least. You can’t say the same for the hoards of people in Times Square, packed like sardines as they count down the hours for the ball to drop.
Graduation was behind you. Nearly two weeks ago you finally crossed that stage to receive your diploma. Technically the real one was still coming in the mail but it’s the symbolism that counted. All of your friends cheered as your name was called, tears of joy and relief welling up in your eyes as you did it– you finally did it!
Wanda hugged you tight afterwards, both of you letting your tears fall. She adjusted your graduation cap, decorated with a lightning bolt for Pietro. It was the first thing you did when you received your garments, to make sure a part of him was with you on such an important day. You left her arms for Peggy and Steve’s, then Sam, Natasha and Clint and then there was Bucky.
He grabbed his crutches, lifting himself up from the chair though you didn’t make him walk. A few steps closed the gap between you and you held him, your arms securing around him as a precaution as he balanced on one leg.
His smile was so beautiful as he murmured, “I’m so proud of you,” holding his gaze before you kissed tenderly, humming against his lips.
You’ve been dating ever since that day in the hospital and life couldn’t be better, especially since you and Bucky laid out some terms. From now on you would always be honest with each other, never holding back your feelings. You were a team who loved and respected each other to talk and more importantly listen.
Bucky managed well on crutches but there were still things he couldn’t do, taking for granted days he could have gone outside for a walk. Sure he had muscles, but his arms were killing him, especially on the days he had to go to the doctor for a checkup. He started physical therapy too, to keep up with strength and flexibility for the rest of his body.
It was exhausting but you were there to help him almost every step of the way. Showering was a pain though Bucky insisted on some independence, wrapping up his cast as he sat on a cold plastic chair that extended over the tub. It made him feel like he had aged 80 years but he got over it.
You did what you could to help him heal but the greatest comfort Bucky found was when you were cuddling together. He cherished those moments the most, when you held him, resting your head against his chest, or when his head was in your lap as he stretched across his couch, your fingers lazily combing through his hair.
It was the quiet moments together, crossing the threshold of intimacy in new ways. This was the slowest Bucky has ever gone since he was in middle school, swallowing a nervous gulp before asking if it was okay to hold a girl’s hand.
Life after had been a blur; his guard up, women in and out, no chance to settle, in and out, no connection, faces blend together, names are nothing more than letters on his phone for a good time, in and out. It was all noise, a constant buzzing in his head until you came into his life.
You’ve opened Bucky’s ears and the noise became sweet music. You’ve opened his heart, the melody it sings is a love song and he’s soaring. He doesn’t waste time on regrets, instead he spends each and every day getting to know you and love you in new ways.  
You celebrated Thanksgiving together, with his parents coming to your apartment so Bucky didn’t have to travel. George brought most of the food over, it wasn’t barbecue but it was just as delicious. And this year you had the time to bake a pumpkin pie.
Your days were spent working at The September Foundation up until graduation. Elena hired you for Metro-General and you start there on the first Monday of the new year. Ideally, you’d like to still volunteer when you can and knowing Tony it’s something he fully supported. Things couldn’t be better.
“Doll, are you ready?”
Bucky’s voice pulled you away from the window and you climb off his bed and into his waiting arms. The basketball shorts he wears reveals his skinny left leg, paler than the other thanks to the dry flakiness he’s still working on remedying. He was in a cast for almost three months and just got it off a few days ago. You went with him, holding his hand as he beared weight on his weak muscle after so long.
He just finished the strengthening exercises he was supposed to do every day and now he needed to shower. You both did actually since tonight was Natasha and Clint’s annual New Year’s Eve party. You pull your shirt off, tossing it somewhere behind you and Bucky follows you to the bathroom. He can shower without his seat now but it doesn’t mean he didn’t want help and you happily obliged. The water ran cold by the time you actually finished and you really didn’t mind at all. Now that Bucky’s cast was off you were looking forward to getting even more physical again.
Though you showered at his place you finished getting ready at yours since you could. Living next door to your boyfriend was obviously convenient. You were able to be together and still have the space you needed. For now it worked though you can see yourself moving in together. A smile stretches across your face when you think of it, Bucky playing his music, no walls in between, a far cry from how things began.
You open your closet to find a dress that would work for the theme of this year’s party which they claimed was winter except they asked all their guests to wear either red or green. You bit your tongue, thinking that sounded more Christmas than winter but you didn’t argue, it wasn’t your party. You pulled out a crimson colored dress that had a beautiful lace overlay. The back was sheer and though it was a little short you felt it was seasonally appropriate with its long sleeves. You finished your hair and makeup, finishing off with gold chandelier earrings and peep-toe heels.
A rhythmic knock rapped at your door and you knew it was Bucky. Opening the door your jaw dropped. Maybe it was the fact that you had mostly seen him in shorts and sweatpants over the last three months, and not that he didn’t make those look good, but the outfit he was wearing now looked incredible. He looked sharp in a juniper green suit with a soft tartan design, a brighter green patterned tie stood out against his light shirt. His shoes were dark brown with a hint of mahogany that reflected in the light and even though he looked amazing you were surprised he didn’t opt for sneakers to be more comfortable with his leg.
“Fuck, you look beautiful,” he spoke first, biting his lip as he looked at you up and down.
He shaved since you left him and your hands went to cup the smooth skin of his cheek. “Not more beautiful than you.”
You pressed your lips to Bucky’s, deepening the kiss with your tongue which was probably a bad idea since it only increased your urge to rip Bucky’s suit off and take him right there. You forced yourself back from him, walking towards your couch to grab your bag.
Bucky followed you as quickly as he could considering walking still felt a little strange. His arms went around your waist pulling you closer to him as his lips began to kiss your cheek, trailing down your neck. You hummed in delight, exhaling stuttered breaths, almost losing yourself to his touch before you pulled yourself out of it.
“We can’t,” you stressed, reluctantly. “We’re gonna be late, come on.”
He sighed acceptingly, waiting for you to unplug your phone and grab your keys. Just before you were ready to leave his arms wrapped around your waist one more time and Bucky spoke before you could say anything.
“I love you, Y/N.”
The swell of your heart reached your lips as you gazed into Bucky’s eyes repeating the same words you’ve known and felt for so long. After another sweet kiss you locked up your place to take the long trip up one flight.
Clint greeted you at the door, his arms pulling you and Bucky into warm welcoming hugs. Unlike his guests, Clint was dressed in a white suit jacket, with black pants and a matching bow tie. He welcomed you into the apartment that was not filled with as many people as you expected.
There were familiar faces in your friends, including Sam who was able to take off this year. Right away Bucky teased him about his red suit calling him Elmo.
“Yeah whatever Kermit. And what about this one?” Sam teased, pointing at Steve. “That’s all you had?”
Steve blushed pink, feeling insecure about his outfit choice, a cozy forest green cable-knit sweater. “Like I’m supposed to have a fruit punch suit in my closet?”
“It’s cranberry and I look good,” Sam declared, smoothing his hands down the front of his jacket.
You let the boys continue to have fun as you said hello to Wanda and Peggy, both looking beautiful in their dresses. “Where’s Natasha?”
They shook their heads. “Haven’t seen her,” Wanda said, heading towards their marble island to grab a drink.
It was decorated with a row of mason jars, each filled a quarter of the way with coarse sugar mimicking crystal snow, with a candle in every other one and a chunk of bright red cranberries and sprays of cedar leaves sticking out of the others.
“But we just got here, so I dunno,” she finished.
You were looking around for familiar guests, surely the partners of her law firm would be coming again. An older woman sat on the couch talking to another unfamiliar face, the back of their heads glowing thanks to the curtain of twinkle lights that decorated the large walls of the living room. In the corner was their Christmas tree, a tall spruce decorated with frosted pine cone garland, matte red ornaments and thick burlap ribbon.
Clint brushed passed you, kneeling in front of the older woman who looked curiously familiar. Nervous energy was pouring off of him, from the way he kept chewing his nails to the constant tremble of his leg. He smiled as he passed you again standing near the door. With Natasha still not in sight you decided to do a little digging, by way of introducing yourself.
You walked over to the woman Clint had been speaking to, standing in front of her and the two people she was mid-conversation with. The man was big, his Santa-like belly was testing the buttons of his red shirt as it stretched across the material. His eyebrows were bushy and his brown hair was long in the front, looking a little messy as if it had been brushed through with only his fingers. He had a long beard that matched the color of his hair though it had a lot more grey in it.
The woman was beautiful. The emerald top she wore brought out the green flecks of her hazel eyes and her red lips drew you right into her beautiful smile. Her dark hair was braided with a crown, the rest of the locks falling onto her shoulders.
You caught their attention, extending your hand with a smile as you introduced yourself. The older woman spoke first, her voice as soft as a songbird as she told you her name, Edith, followed by the fact that she was Clint’s mother. Well, that explains it. You see the similarities now, the glasses she wore didn’t hide the fact that they shared the same eyes. Even her mouth was the same, thin lips that grew into the same beaming smile.
“I’m Melina,” the beautiful woman said with a Russian accent. “This is Alexei.” She pointed to the man who smiled at you. His grip was strong as he took your hand in his meaty paw. “We’re like family to Natalia,” he grinned proudly.
“It’s so nice to meet you all!” you said, sitting beside them to talk all while in the back of your mind your brain was working to put together why they were here. Sure it’s a holiday but family members have never come to Clint and Natasha’s for New Years before. In fact, Natasha doesn’t even have family. The only “family” you knew of would have to come from Russia to–
Holy shit.
You find an acceptable way out of the conversation, rushing over to Bucky and pulling him away from his conversation. Your hands are jittering with excited energy, eyes as wide as your mouth is open.
“Bucky, don’t you see what this is?!”
He looks confused for a moment before his attention is diverted. Bucky looks past you to another unfamiliar person that walked in. It’s a man with brown skin dressed in all black. A dark goatee framed his face and the straps of an eye patch secure comfortably around his hairless head. Though Bucky tried not to stare he couldn’t help but notice the veining of scars stretching out across his temple and cheek. He stands tall and silent with his arms clasped behind his back waiting.
Clint cleared his throat, a nervous smile settling on his face. “Now that everyone’s here I’d like to welcome you to… our wedding.”
Gasps of surprise fill the room with everyone rushing up towards Clint as he tries to field questions, hoping no one was truly mad at the abrupt announcement. “I knew it,” you whispered under your breath, gently slapping at Bucky’s arm.
The man in black walked towards the front of the living room, clearly the officiate who asked everyone to get settled as they were about to begin. Clint knocked once on his bedroom door, before taking his place beside the man who introduced himself as Nick.
A young woman with blonde hair slipped out of the door. She nodded to him, cracking a hint of a smile before she settled next to Melina. A moment later everyone’s eyes were drawn to the sound of the bedroom door creaking open again.
Natasha stepped out looking like a dream, in a floor length shimmering ivory gown that showed off her well sculpted shoulders with its high halter neckline, embellished with beautiful beading. She clutched a delicate bouquet of white roses and winter greens with cranberry sprigs woven throughout. Natasha walked up to Clint without fanfare, just the audible sighs of those around her admiring the back of her dress, dazzling and tasteful cut outs that showed off more of her toned body. The fabric cinched above the small of her back, a small train sweeping around her feet.
She handed her bouquet off to the blonde girl, her “sister” you presumed, remembering an old conversation with Clint. Brushing back a loose tendril from her face, Natasha smiled widely as she stared at Clint, bringing her hands forward to connect with his.
Nick began speaking and you took out your phone to capture a quick picture as the impromptu ceremony began. Bucky’s hand found yours, lacing your fingers together as you watched your friends exchange their vows.
Clint’s hands communicated his words in sync as he spoke them. “Natasha, what more can I say to the person that knows me better than I know myself. Because of you the sun shines a little brighter each day, flowers have a sweeter fragrance and my heart is filled with treasured memories. Even the not so great ones like that time in Budapest that I know we remember very differently.”
A chuckle simmers amongst the small crowd and Natasha dips her head down to laugh.
“Because of you my heart found a home, and like my stomach, it will never be empty...” Clint smiled, taking Natasha’s hands in his. “...because it will always be filled with your love, a love that I promise you I will never let go.”
Natasha sniffs, brushing aside a tear as she gathers her thoughts. “Clint, you’ve given me a second chance in life, you’ve shown me what friendship and love truly mean. I promise to trust and respect you and give you the best of myself. I promise to always fight for you, never against you, to be by your side through whatever life brings. I promise to make sure we always have snacks in the house and to clean up all the stains from your shirts when you drop food on them.”
Clint’s shoulders shrugged with acceptance as he chuckled under his breath, “It happens a lot.”
“Yes it does,” Natasha repeated, smiling wider. She exhaled a deep breath before continuing. “I promise to love you through the good times and bad and to choose our love every single day. You are my best friend, my soulmate and I'm the luckiest person on Earth to be able to call you mine.”
You felt Bucky press a kiss to your temple, leaning his head against you as the ceremony continued. When it was time Alexei dug into his pocket, pulling out the rings. With Nick’s concluding words Natasha wrapped her arms around Clint’s neck, and his held her waist; their love sealed with a kiss as everyone cheered in celebration.
They pulled back from each other, Clint resting his forehead against Natasha’s. He brought his hand up, bending his middle and ring finger into his palm. Natasha did the same, their fingertips touching as they signed “I love you” before turning to face their friends and family.
Edith was the first to hug the newly married couple who made their way through everyone until they got to you. Bucky and Clint hugged as he congratulated them. “I can’t believe this.”
“I can.” Natasha laughed, pressing her cheek to Bucky’s as they hugged. She moved to you and you wrapped your arms around her tightly. “We’ve been planning this wedding for so long it was never going to happen unless we did it this way.”
“It was perfect,” you said, pulling back from your hug with a huge smile. “Congratulations, I’m so happy for you both.”
As the night went on you formally met Yelena, the blonde who Natasha grew up with, and learned about her exciting work. You were in similar fields as she worked to free people of human trafficking, mostly young girls that were to be indoctrinated into radical terrorist groups for forced marriage or even espionage.
Her work was more hands-on as she physically raided underground bunkers or warehouses. It made you feel like you weren’t doing enough even though you knew that wasn’t true. All the years spent working towards your goal reaffirmed that, and in just a few days you’ll officially move into your office in Metro-General, across from Elena’s as you begin doing what you’ve always wanted to do, help people.
You’re lost in a comfortable stare as you look at the Christmas tree, realizing the countdown to midnight had begun.
Ten! Nine! Eight! ...
You turn around, looking for Bucky in the small room that was crowded with everyone standing so close together, huddled around the TV that showed the view from Times Square.
Seven! Six ...
The shimmering ball was descending and you were alone until….
Five! Four! ...
“Hey neighbor…” A voice called and you spun around relieved. Bucky smiled, bringing you close into his arms.
Three! Two! One! Happy New Year!
He leaned in, his lips hovering above yours, pausing as you spoke above the roar of cheers. “Have I ever told you how happy I am that you moved in here?” you purred.
“Every day. It’s like music to my ears.”
Bucky smiled tenderly, sealing the small gap between you, kissing you softly as he poured all the love from his heart out and into yours. Your hearts beat to the rhythm of your own symphony, a song that had a rocky beginning of notes that stretched high and low, but now it was a steady ballad you would continue to create together with your love.

You were running late. Very late.  With a sigh you watched the street pass you by in a blur, the distant roar of your bus dimmed by the rap music that blasted through your ears. You looked at the group chat to be bombarded by messages.
Jungkook: bro istg if you’re not here in the next ten minutes
Hoseok: HURRY UP! JK IS DOING SHOTS WITH HIS DAD OMFG
Jimin: OMG Y/N. WE’RE GETTING DRUNK WITHOUT YOU
Jungkook: adsdsd duddde u suk wdt syop taling foevr
Yoongi: I’m gonna drink all the whiskey I got from Korea this week if you don’t get your butt over here.
Yoongi: Jieun says hi btw!
The texts continued to devolve into nonsense as you willed the bus to move faster. You were annoyed. Jungkook had planned the new year’s party at his parent’s house, and you were beyond excited to party, having spent the entire winter break stuck at home with your parents as they argued over the smallest things. You tightened your grip around your duffle bag as the bus came to a stop. Trudging through the snow you finally reached the familiar red door of your best friend’s house.
You knocked, taking in the large three-storey suburban house as you waited to be let in, already digging through your backpack for the bottle of tequila you had brought along. If they took any more time to open the door, you were going to start drinking right there on the porch. Before you could uncap your bottle, you were greeted by Jungkook’s dad, the familiar, jolly older man moved his hair out of his eyes as he greeted you.
However, before you could finally get out of the cold, he stopped you, presenting a tray of colourful jello shots.
“Y/N! Penalty for being late. You have to take a shot!” He laughed as you sputtered, his face reddened by what you assumed was alcohol. You had known Jungkook since the two of you were freshmen in university and had routinely stayed with him and his parents during break, but you had never seen Mr. Jeon this drunk. You stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do as he insisted, your friend finally joining him and encouraging you as you tentatively took a shot.
“I changed my mind! One of every colour!” Mr Jeon exclaimed joyously as Jungkook groaned.
“Dad! It’s cold. Let her in!” He whined and thankfully, you were let in. Taking off your shoes and leaving your bag by the door, you ventured into the living room where you saw all your friends. Hoseok leaned where he sat on the couch, his face buried in his phone as he, no doubt, texted his hookup. Jimin danced next to the Christmas tree the Jeons had yet to put away with a glass of liquor as Yoongi played the piano in the corner, cuddling with his girlfriend Jieun. Bubbling warmth swelled your heart as you saw all your favourite people.
“Come on let’s get you a drink!” Jungkook put his arm around you, planting most of his weight on you due to the alcohol raging through his veins as he guided you to the kitchen through the living room. In the kitchen, you were met by the sight of his parents swaying together to Yoongi’s expert piano skills, and a man you didn’t recognize sitting at the breakfast island, talking to Jungkook’s younger sister animatedly, who seemed to be trying to leave the conversation.
Jungkook poured you a rum and coke, easy on the coke, as he made his way to the breakfast bar. You stood next to his sister, making small talk before she excused herself to go to her room. She never stuck around long during these get-togethers. 
When she left, you were left standing awkwardly next to the only stranger at this party. The first thing you noticed was that he was tall. Much taller than all your friends, his dark black hair styled away from his face, a strand falling on his forehead shaped like a comma. He was dressed much like everyone else in dark wash jeans and a navy t-shirt with white leaves outlined on the sleeves, except his jeans fit him almost too perfectly, sculpting his thick thighs. Although he seemed friendly, greeting you with a pretty dimpled smile, your sudden attraction to him made you nervous.
“Hi. I’m Namjoon,” he said, eyeing you from over his cup as he sipped whatever concoction he was drinking.
“Oh shit! I keep forgetting you guys have never met!” Jungkook slurred as he sidled up to the two of you with his stool, leaving you standing between the two sitting boys. “Namjoon and I have been friends for years. I think we probably met the same time you and I did, but I guess we never ended up meeting together?” He ended his statement as a question, and it surprised you. You thought in three years you would have met all of his friends. 
“Well, that and I took a break from school. I was doing an internship in California.” He beamed, clearly proud of his achievement. “I worked at Twitch, you know them?” He smirked, and you had to fight your urge to roll your eyes. Of course, he worked in Cali. You went to a university renowned for its engineering degree and it was the goal of every software engineering student to land an internship in California. Those lucky enough to achieve it used it as social currency and bragging rights. You despise those people. It wasn’t that you weren’t smart enough to land that opportunity, in fact, you were coming off of your internship with Facebook last term, but you always felt flaunting a job to be such an ugly trait. However, Namjoon was Jungkook’s friend and so you let it slide.
“Ah Twitch. Very cool.” you hummed as you drank.
“Yeah. What program are you in?” He asked, continuing the conversation as Jungkook disappeared to talk to his parents, trying to convince them to retire for the night since they had embarrassed him enough.
“Computer science,” you replied non-committedly, watching his face break into a wide smile.
“Oh, that’s so cool! Me too!” He replied excitedly. You had to admit, his smile was very charming and you let your guard down a little more. Maybe he just got influenced by kids in your program to brag about Cali. “I haven’t seen you in any of my classes though! Would’ve remembered you. None of the other compsci girls are this pretty.” He smirked, clearly proud of his flirtatious comment. You narrowed your eyes at him, immediately put off.
“So glad to know you deem me pretty enough to notice.” You rolled your eyes, before grabbing your bottle of tequila and a few disposable shot glasses and making your way to the living room. “Well, it was… okay to meet you. I’m gonna go do shots.”
“Wait! I’m sorry, did I offend you?” he asked, brows furrowed in confusion as he easily caught up to you, walking beside you and even sitting next to you on the floor, as you lined up the glasses to pour the drinks for everyone.
“No it’s cool, dude. We just don’t have anything in common,” you said nonchalantly as the rest of your friends crowded the table, excitedly taking a shot glass in hand as Jungkook waltzed in with a plate full of lime wedges and an intricately expensive-looking salt shaker. Namjoon didn’t say anything as everyone took their shots, but watched you throw back your drink, noticing the small smile that overtook your features as the alcohol from earlier finally started to take effect. 
After a few more shots, the party really started. Although there were only seven people, your rowdy, borderline chaotic group had you laughing. Hoseok was going on some tale about his adventures back home where he ended up at a bar with his high school friends and got the numbers of four girls by doing a disgustingly named muff-diver shot. He bragged about his game, and you burst his bubble by telling him it was really only because he was hot. Something he didn’t take much offence to as he wiggled his eyebrows at you. Namjoon, however, came to Hoseok’s defence, much to your annoyance.
“And how would you know? I doubt Hobi here has used his A+ game on you.” He raised an eyebrow in challenge, making you scoff as you rolled your eyes.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well… you guys are friends, I doubt he would try to pick you up.” He spoke with a logical tone, as he eyed you and Hoseok.
“Oh really? Okay Hobi. Since your game is so great. Let’s see it.” You turned around, staring at your friend next to you. Namjoon leaned back against his hands on the floor, watching the scene unfold with a smirk.
“Really darling? Don’t blame me when you fall for me.” Hoseok moved closer, finishing his drink as you huffed in annoyance. You were in your first stage of drunk, the stage where you got mean for no reason
“Get on with it, loser. Your face is making me drier as we speak.” You waved as Hoseok leaned in, his nose rubbing gently against your ear, his breath on your neck, making you shiver slightly.
“Hey baby, how about you let me take you downstairs and defile you on Jungkook’s Iron Man sheets.” His voice was low, almost a growl. You never thought you would hear Hoseok’s sexy pickup voice and you were sure that if you were someone who had not seen him whine and cling onto you after a few drinks, you’d be putty in his hand. Instead, you burst out laughing, doubling over with your hands on his thighs as tears of mirth filled your eyes. Not one to give up that easily, Hoseok continued.
“See. I’m a funny guy Y/N. Let me eat that pussy!” He couldn’t hold back any longer either, his voice breaking at the word pussy as he too devolved into a fit of laughter. His comment, however, broke Yoongi and Jieun out of their bubble as they looked up from their make out session, looks of horror on their faces.
“Please tell me you did not just say that Hobi!” Jieun chided, her voice shrill.
“That’s fucking disgusting.” Yoongi shivered as he drank more of his whiskey in an attempt to calm himself. Hoseok and you continued laughing at your friends’ reaction, the rest of the group joining in, except Namjoon who seemed to be watching the two of you with raised brows.
“Wait. I don’t get it. That should’ve worked.”
“Yeah dude. Y/N what the fuck? Let me eat that pussy!” Hoseok grabbed you by the shoulders, shaking you while screaming at your face, between giggles.
“Oh my god. I’m gonna get a stomach ache. Stop!” you wheezed, before turning to Namjoon. “Sorry dude. I’ve literally helped Hobi pee once. There’s no going back to sexy when you see him whine about forgetting how urinating works.”
“Yeah and no offence babe, but you literally had your hands on my dick and it was flaccid as hell.”
“You guys are weirdly close,” Namjoon commented, his face scrunched as he assessed you and Hoseok.
“You think they’re close, you should see her and Jungkook. They even slept together!” Jimin remarks finally sitting down after dancing by himself for the past twenty minutes.
“And it was fucking horrible. High five!” Jungkook leans over the coffee table to slap his hand against yours, the two of you giggling.
“What kind of incestuous group is this?” Namjoon remarked, sipping his drink before turning to you where he watched you leaned over the table as you still slapped your hand against Jungkook’s to the beat of the music. “So when’s my turn?”
“Excuse me?” You recoil away from Namjoon, almost jumping in Hoseok’s lap. Oh here it was; stage two of your drunk persona, anger. You felt it coursing in your veins at his insinuation. “Who the fuck do you think I am?”
“Apparently the group dick toucher.” He smirked again, that annoying lopsided smile that made his one dimple deepen in his cheek. “I promise I won’t be flaccid like Hobi was.”
“Okay! Y/N and I are going on a walk!” Hoseok exclaimed as he saw your fist clenched. He knew you were ten seconds away from punching Namjoon in the face, and he put his arms around your waist and easily hoisted you up, walking you to the front door.
“Hobi I swear to god, I’m gonna murder him.” You glared at Namjoon as he returned your heated stare with an easy smile and a wave.
“I know babe. So we’re going on a walk. Let’s go pick up some food, yeah?”
The two of you walked around the block to the nearest McDonalds, picking up an assortment of cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets for the party, even getting Namjoon what he wanted, despite your burning desire that he starve to death. By the time, you returned to the party and took a couple more shots you were sufficiently cheered up. Hoseok had that affect on you, calming your mood with his jokes and anecdotes. 
Cuddled with Hoseok as you sat between his legs on the couch, the two of you shared a vape as you let the weed settle in your bones with a mellow buzz. Jimin sat in front of you on the floor, leaning against you as you ran your hands through his hair, enjoying the soft fluff. You were so glad that he had decided to forego his usual hair wax today. You felt like you were in utter bliss, your annoyance with Namjoon long forgotten. That is until you tuned into his conversation with Jungkook - not that you had any choice, because even though he seemed to be talking to Jungkook, his eyes were pointed at you.
“I’m just saying capitalism is the reason you’re sitting here in this nice home. People who can’t afford healthcare or education just need to work harder. That’s how life works.” Namjoon sipped his drink, raising an eyebrow at you, and you decidedly ignored his baiting. It was like he was trying to get you mad on purpose. You didn’t understand his gameplan. Why couldn’t he just let you enjoy bringing in 2017 like an adult?
“Dude… why are we even talking about this?” Jungkook groaned, face scrunching in distaste.
“I’m just saying people shouldn’t look for a handout when there are literally thousands of skills they could learn to make their lives easier. Why are we using our tax dollars for the lazy?” Namjoon shrugged nonchalantly, his gaze boring holes into you as you stared him down. Oh curse your stupid resolve, why did this fucker know you so well, you literally just met! Before you could stop yourself, you were speaking.
“I’m sorry, are you stupid? That is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Education and healthcare are a human right!” Your voice was louder than usual, startling Hoseok and Jimin as you suddenly stood up, walking over to where a smug looking Namjoon and a confused Jungkook sat on the floor.
“I’m not, but you must be, to not realize that we could invest in teaching people skills to make money instead of just giving them money. Don’t tell me you’re a communist.” He sipped his drink, his eyes dancing with mirth, relishing the fact that he had gotten you to argue. And argue you did, for over an hour, the room forgotten as the two of you discussed social policies and taxation laws, ignoring Jungkook’s protests (“We live in a social democracy!”). You could feel the fire in your veins as you raised your voice, while he calmly discussed the matter at hand. Even though Namjoon was the most infuriating person you had ever met, the fact that he kept up with your arguments was extremely satisfying. Your friends knew you were the kind of person to debate a point until all the sides were uncovered so they would never start an argument with you, and as much as you hated Namjoon, you loved that he was such a great sparring partner.
“Oh my god! Shut the fuck up!” Jimin yelled suddenly, breaking you and Namjoon out of your bubble, as you looked at your usually bubbly friend, staring daggers at you. You sheepishly apologized, just as the countdown began.
Everyone stood and you followed suit. However the alcohol in your body decided to catch up as you stumbled, instinctively grabbing on to Namjoon’s arm to not fall over. As you’ve started to realize is his ammo, he one-upped you, putting his arm around your waist and pulling you into his chest. Fuck, why does it feel so nice and firm?
The countdown got closer to one and you felt trapped by his gaze, an intense look in his eye as he smirked at you. His eyes travelled from your eyes to your lips and you felt as if your chest was getting tighter.
“Three!” your friends yelled, but your mouth felt too dry to speak up. You licked your lips and Namjoon’s smirk widened. Why did you find his arrogant face so attractive all of a sudden? You wanted to punch him not two seconds ago!
“Two!” He started to lean in and despite yourself, you started anticipating his lips on yours. 
“One!” Suddenly, your earlier resolve kicked in. No dude who insulted you all night was going to touch you. You pushed him off turning around to Jungkook.
“Happy New Year!” You pulled your best friend towards you by his collar, giving him a loud peck on the lips as everyone cheered. Jungkook smiled, pulling you into a hug and jostling you around, giving you a chance to catch the dumbfounded look on Namjoon’s face.
You hugged all of your friends in turn, and when Namjoon, still with his mouth slightly ajar, looked at you expectantly, you raised your hand to him with a smug smile. You kind of felt bad for the way he deflated before he shook your hand, but before you could dwell too much on that feeling, he tugged you closer.
“Well played,” he whispered in your ear, his breath ghosting your neck, and you felt heat rising up your neck. You pulled away with a scowl and before he could say anything else, your phone pinged, the screen lit with the last name you wanted to see.
Taehyung (3 messages)
Oh great. What did the fuck did he want?

🎄Fa-la-la-late🎄 With; Diego Hargreeves
Tumblr media
A/N:Ummmm...hello? First off, thank you all so much for the love on my last couple imagines. Sorry for the hiatus, what can I say junior year is as hard as they say it is. Anyway, I was supposed to be sleeping last night but I was writing this instead. Leave it to me to become inspired at the worst times. This is for everyone celebrating a holiday this year without your family because of the pandemic (which is still a thing btw.) Also, this is very long but I love it. Okay enough talking, enjoy!
TW: None except...Well, Klaus is Klaus. And more random POV change bc I can!
He’s running, sprinting really, brown bag tucked haphazardly under his arm as it’s contents jostle around inside with his movements. Filled with last minute groceries for the evenings event. Never in Diego Hargreeves’ life had he thought he’d be rushing home in preparations for a Christmas party, in a red sweater for that matter. But what can he say, a year into his relationship with her and he’s officially whipped. Ever since the two of you met you had introduced him to an enormity of things he’d never considered important. Whether it be birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, you’ve added so much more to him that he could never really repay you for. So, he figures making a very last minute trip to the ever so crowded grocery store on Christmas Eve is worth it. Having to deal with other crazed and unprepared city people for three types of cheeses, four types of crackers, and a particularly expensive bottle of wine.
Apparently a Christmas party, or any get together for that matter, is simply incomplete without an assortment of appetizers. Right, Diego Hargreeves hosting a Christmas party for his siblings. The same ones who only learned about holidays in their World Culture textbooks during hours sectioned off on their daily regimen instead of actually celebrating them. The biting cold reminds him of the lonely Christmas’ throughout his life, which was at the time any other day of the year to him. He snaps out of the dark thoughts when he realizes he’s made it up the stairs and to the front door, a chorus of clanging pots and curses coming from inside.
He fumbles through the door, reminding himself he’s supposed to be rushing, but the beautifully decorated apartment distracts him from the task at hand. The warm feeling he’s still getting used to fluttering through his stomach as he recalls when you first surprised him with the holiday decor.
“It’s not too much, right? I know you never really celebrated Christmas, and neither of us are religious but my family always made the holidays a big deal and I thought-”
“You did all this?” His brown eyes are wide, gazing up at the assortment of twinkling lights aligning the interior of your shared home, a beautiful tree full of red and green ornaments in the middle of your living room. It’s stunning, to say the least, and Diego’s sure he’s never felt so much at home as he does now.
You’re gazing up at him, eyes nervously darting between your boyfriend and the assortment of ornaments. He walks forward from the entryway to admire the garland above the fireplace and the evergreen that just barely scruffs the top of the ceiling. It’s all new to him, and a bit overwhelming, and suddenly Diego realizes the resentment he’s held toward the holiday ever since he was a child was completely misguided. Because the joy he feels now, the warmth tingling throughout his body is foreign but so comforting.
“You hate it, don’t you? Listen, I just thought maybe I’d try and show you Christmas isn’t all about consumerism and selling shitty-”
“It’s beautiful.” He interrupts again, and you swear there’s a moisture begging to leave his eyes as he finally looks to you with an awed expression.
“I don’t, I’ve never...I always hated Christmas. I guess because I never had a real family as a kid. But this, this is j-just...Thank you.”
*End Flashback*
“You’re late!” You shout as the front door bursts open, a familiar thud of boots kicking snow off their bottoms and then walking towards the kitchen. Diego walks in with hands full with groceries, hair wet and messy with flurries of snow littering the raven strands. You narrow your eyes at the sight of him, dopey smile on his face as he sets the bags down on the counter.
“What’s gotten into you? I thought you’d still be grumpy at the fact that we’re hosting.” You’re less than presentable at the moment, having been cooking all day and leaving getting yourself ready for last minute. You puff a stray hair out of your face as he responds.
“Nothing, and actually I am still upset that my siblings are coming over.” He leans against the counter as you unpack the groceries, eager to finish up so you can look a little less crazy when the remaining Hargreeves arrive. Diego is still staring at you, grinning fondly at how flustered you look. And although he’d rather not have you meet his brothers and sister, you deserve to know why he’s keeping you from meeting. After all, it’s been a year since you’ve been together, and he’s met your family already.
It’s different though, because although they too have their issues, your family isn’t a dysfunctional pack of emotionally-stunted freaks. He’d much rather protect you from their intrusive antics. The warm feeling fades as he realizes what’s to come. He appreciates your optimism, truly, but he suddenly can’t shake the feeling that they’ll manage to upset you and ultimately screw up what you’ve been preparing for all day.
“A little help please?” You ground him once more, gesturing to the bags beside the both of you and the assortment of trays of food on the counters. Diego grabs onto your sides when you try to brush past him to check on the turkey, ignoring your incredulous look as he presses his body against yours.
“There’s still time to call this all off, you know. We can watch all the cheesy Christmas movies you want, and have dinner all to ourselves.” His eyes are hopefully looking into yours, the persuasion in his tone hinting a part of him isn’t really joking.
“Absolutely not. Di, we’ve been together for a year now. I want to get to know your siblings. Besides, you met my family and they loved you!”
“That’s different y/n, you’re family is...Well, they’re not like mine! You guys are normal! My brother is a moon-obsessed, half monkey moron and my sister is a mind-controlling movie star.” You can’t help but giggle at his words even though his frustration is adamant. He backs away from your embrace and runs his a hand through his hair in an effort to calm himself down. The sudden thought of one of them being too pushy or making you upset is overwhelming him now. If it’s one thing he’d like to keep you from, it’s the bad side of him his siblings tend to bring out.
“Diego.” Your voice is soft now, you’re using that love-laced tone that always makes him feel like he’s melting. He shivers as you get closer to him, still somehow getting used to the effect you have on him. And although you don’t notice, you seem to be aware you’re calming him down. “I’m scared too, I don’t want to mess something up or embarrass myself in front of them. Hell, your little-or...Older brother is a time traveling assassin who’s kind of a genius. It’s intimidating definitely, but they’re your family Di. I know you hate to admit it, but they’ve played a huge role in who you are. And even if a lot of times you resent each other, it’s clear you love them.”
He’s gotta admit, you’ve always had a way with words. “Fine, what can I do to help beautiful?”
“you can start with setting the table so I can get ready and actually look beautiful. And use the good China!” You plant a quick kiss to his cheek before rushing off to the bedroom, silently praying the anxious won’t drop a plate or two in the process.
****************************
“Baby, does red or white wine go with tur-woah.” You’re doing some finishing touches on your makeup when Diego walks in, honey brown eyes shamelessly looking over your figure with a smirk as he now leans against the door frame.
You roll you eyes at his ogling, but can’t help smoothing down the silky olive green fabric of the dress your wearing with a pleased smile. Gold jewelry adorns your neck and ears, with matching gold heels to bring the look together. The red of his sweater (he so stubbornly obliged to wearing) compliments the green you're wearing beautifully. A year ago, Diego wonders just how much it would take him to put on anything other than black.
“Cmon, they’ll be here any minute.”
As if I’m cue, the doorbell of the apartment rings. You rush to the front door, Diego trailing behind as he reminds himself how important the evening is to you.
“And remember, no knives.” You whisper to him, turning back around and opening the door.
“Fröhliche Weihnachten!” Klaus pushes through the entryway excitedly, tackling you in a hug in greeting. Luckily, you’ve already met the most eccentric sibling of the bunch. As he often crashes at your place, much to Diego’s disliking (or so he says).
“My my my, that dress is to die for! I’ll be borrowing that soon. And those heels! Please tell me we’re the same siz-”
“Alright bonehead, you can steal her stuff later. Take yourself and the booze to the kitchen.” Diego interrupts, shrugging when you slap his shoulder at his bluntness.
Greeting the rest of the family goes better than expected. Allison and Luther arrived together (an innocent carpool of course) whilst Vanya had come just a few minutes after Klaus, happy to see she wasn’t the first to arrive. She brought along with her a homemade dish, Allison with a top notch bottle of champagne, and Five with a box of Griddy’s  donuts and...Coffee? His odd choice of food making the perfect ice breaker, to his confusion of course. 
“Alright, enough small talk. Diego, how much are you paying this lovely lady to pretend to be your girlfriend?” Klaus interjects your conversation about current events as the rest of the table looks to the pair of you and laughs. 
“Seriously, Allison couldn’t even rumor someone to be this good of a cook,” Luther chimes in. Not having looked up from his plate for a majority of the meal.
Although slightly offended, Diego realizes his siblings have a valid point. You’re blushing crimson as you laugh along, shaking your head and nervously rambling on about when you just last week almost burnt the apartment down trying to perfect said recipes. He’s entranced as you speak, admiring the way you seem to capture all of them with unknown ease. Unknown, truly, because you’re still too modest to see how perfect you are. He doesn’t deserve you, but he’ll spend every day trying to even out the impossible score. It's known he can be quite the competitor. 
“I’m just shocked he’s out of black for once.”
“Says the 45 year old in a school uniform!”
                                          **********************
“Alright, I’ll clear up dinner so we can start dessert.” Y/n announces, just in time to halt a three-way argument between her boyfriend, Luther and Five about some Academy mission from when they were kids. The evening has been lighthearted for the most part, with a majority of the conflict being steered off by Allison or Vanya. The two practically experts at distracting their egotistical brothers. You catch on as they do so, the three of you having shared a few sly smirks between one another a few times throughout the meal. 
“Please y/n, let me. You’ve done more than enough tonight. Besides, I need someone to test out that wine for me.” Allison assures, kicking Diego’s shin and motioning to the kitchen when you’ve given her an appreciative smile and inquired Vanya on her violin skills. 
Allison’s knife wielding brother shoots her a look of shock at her actions, trailing along confusedly after her. Your empty plate and his own in hand as he sets them down in the sink. 
“What the hell? Why-where-you-hiding-her-from-us!) The curly haired woman emphasizes each word with a smack of a stray dish towel to his arm, sure nobody can hear them over Klaus’ obnoxious storytelling back in the dining room. 
“Quit it! I wasn’t hiding her I-I was protecting her from you shitheads.” Diego defends, once again bewildered by his sister’s playful outburst. 
“Diego! She’s amazing, you should’ve introduced us forever ago.” 
“Right, she’s amazing. What do you not get by the word protecting? If you all had met her any sooner you would have scared her off!” He flails his arms as he speaks, unaware of his flushed cheeks as his sister smiles fondly at him. 
“What now Allison?”
“You loooveee her.” She poke his side as she teases, chuckling again when he swats her arm away. The scene is childish, but something about the heat rising through his neck to the tips of his ears makes Diego feel like a kid again. Allison teasing him about girls, just as they had when they were young. 
“Wh-whatever. Yeah, I love her. Can we go back to the table now, or should we paint our nails and giggle about how totes adorbs Luther Looks in that coat?” They both laugh at his mocking, leaving the room and too giddy to remember the discarded plates left behind. 
                                      ***********************
“An espresso machine? Wow, Columbia-brewed K-cups too! You shouldn’t have y/n.” Five is beaming at the gift in hand, wrapping paper still hanging off the side of the box as he admires the machine. His siblings stare confusedly at his jolly demeanor, and he immediately clears his throat before giving said girl a curt nod. “Thanks.” He deadpans, and you laugh with a nod at his change in demeanor. 
Luther and Allison have already opened their gifts, the burly man pointing to his miniature moon replica and lecturing about the craters and valleys to an extremely bored Klaus. Allison has already put on the elegant gold charm bracelet you’ve given her, rolling charm with Claire’s initials and birthstone on it with glossy eyes. Beside her, Vanya delicately peels the wrapping off to a freshly polished violin case, her name inscribed in cursive on the top. 
“It’s beautiful. I-I’m so sorry we didn’t get you anything. If I had known-”
“Nonsense V, I’m just glad you could all make it tonight.” You reassure with genuine smile, glad to see her positive response to the nickname. 
“I still can’t believe you got them gifts.” Diego mumbles from behind you, having climbed over the back of the couch you’re all sat on to have you sit between his legs. He kisses your temple and wraps his arms around your middle, softly humming when yo lean into him. The fireplace is crackling, and the record payer you love dearly quietly plays a Perry Como Christmas album. You close your eyes, taking in the warm feeling and relaxing in Diego’s touch. The two of you jumping when a shout comes from beside you.
“My turn! My turn!” Klaus claps loudly to grab your attention. You chuckle at his childish ways, leaning down to pick up the wrapped present at your feet and handing it off to him. Unlike the others, he eagerly rips apart the wrapping, gasping dramatically when he lifts up the skirt. 
“You’re a bit hard to shop for, there’s a gift receipt if-” The excitable man scrambles up from the floor tug on the fabric, twirling around in it in a fit of giggles before you can finish your statement. 
“Great, he’ll never take that off.” Diego mumbles in your ear, you shake your head with a smirk at his teasing before you’re reminded of something.
“Oh! And one more thing.” You note suddenly, climbing out of Diego’s hold as he huffs reluctantly. You pull a a final present from under the tree, secretly handing it to Klaus to make sure the others don’t see. Though they’re too enveloped in conversation to noticed.
“Another one for me?” He whispers happily, eyes furrowing when you shake your head. Sitting back down in Diego’s arms before you explain. 
“No, well...Yes, sort of. You’ll see.” You ramble, gesturing to the box in his hands as he apprehensively chuckles. You feel Diego’s eyes on you, deciding to place a peck on his jaw instead of elaborating. 
Klaus pulls out a pair of books, readig the well-known titles before looking up at you. You motion to the box once more, biting your nail as he sets them aside and reaches in once more. He pulls out  picture frame with a sharp intake of breathe, hand going over his mouth as he looks up at you once more. Your boyfriend, eager to see what has silenced his rowdy brother, takes the frame to inspect it. 
It’s a picture of him, Klaus, and Ben on the front steps of the academy. Having to be only five or six in the photo. Klaus has an arm around Ben, smiling big for the camera as his brother offers a smaller, but no less genuine grin to the lens. Diego sits a step above them, mouth frozen open in a laugh as he must of been reaction to something only Klaus could make him react so much at. 
“I remember Di telling me Ben read a lot. And...Well, it felt wrong to get everyone else a gift but him. Those are two of my favorit-”
“Wh-Where did you find this?” Diego whispers, arms encircled even tighter around you as he holds up the frame in shock. 
“When we were moving in. I found it at the bottom of one of the shelves at your room at the gym. It was under a bunch of old books you had, I figured it could use a frame.” Just as you finish, Klaus practically tackles you in a hug, a soft hiccup coming from him when he pulls away. 
“Geez Klaus, it’s just a skirt!” 
“Can-it Luther!”
                                     *************************
“You think he’ll be alright?” You mutter from the bedroom hallway. You and Diego leaning against the wall, looking at Klaus whose passed out on the sofa. The others having left hours ago, but you simply couldn’t wake him at seeing how peaceful he was. The picture frame still tucked to his chest as he snored softly. 
“Trust me, he’s fine. I think he’ll be sleeping in that skirt every night from now on.” Diego pulls you to your bedroom door as you laugh, the exhaustion from today finally setting. 
“Hey, would you look at that? Mistletoe.” Your head trails upwards to gaze up at the fruit being dangled above your head as you grin.
“Those are grapes Di.”
“Are they? Hmm, must be from that stupid cheese board I had to run across town for.” 
“It’s a chacuterie, actually. Didn’t you learn French Hargreeves?”
“Yep, but I only seem to remember two words.”
“Oh really? And what might those be?”
“Embrasse moi” He finishes as he connects his lips with yours, holding your face as if you might slip away when he lets go. 
“Smooth, knife boy.” You pull away softly, wrapping your arms around his neck and hugging him tightly.
“Merry Christmas Di.”

I don’t know if you’re doing prompts, but if you are.. Can you write a hicsqueak fic, please. A spell mishap of meddling young witches resulted in Cackle’s and Pentangle’s castles merging. Hecate and Pippa woke up on their now joint bed. Their wardrobe and chambers are merged too and it took them a whole week (maybe longer) to fix it and find the culprits. Thanks! Love your hicsqueak fics btw
It’s not exactly the prompt but I hope you enjoy it! Sorry it took so long, it’s been like 3 weeks but it kinda got out of hand lol! Also: I’m not not taking prompts, but I write slow so if anyone sends one, sorry if it takes a while to get it filled! 
Cacktangle’s Academy for Witchcraft and Wizardry 
AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27270871 
“Lights out, girls,” Hecate bellows as she glides down the corridors. Around her, doors shut closed and lights turn off as young witches clad in matching pajamas scurry into their rooms from their friends’. Each one bids her goodnight (some more confidently than others), something that didn’t use to happen, and she can’t quite pinpoint when it had started. Perhaps she had gone soft in the last few years. Not that she necessarily minds. Anymore.
She’s just about finished with her rounds when one Azura Moon slips out of her door and wraps her arms around Hecate’s middle. 
“Good night, Miss Hardbroom” the girl says as she smiles, as wide as she ever does. Hecate still freezes at the contact she should be used to after two years (especially because Azura takes every opportunity to hug her and for some reason she just can’t tell the girl to stop) but she does eventually return the embrace, tapping the tips of her fingers against the girl’s shoulder, silently noting not for the first time how much taller she’s gotten. 
Then she’s turning the perpetually exuberant witch away from her and to her room. “Good night, Azura. And do tell Miss Jones she has precisely three seconds to return to her own room.” 
Hecate doesn’t even get the opportunity to begin her countdown when the other girl pokes her head out of the room with a sigh. Azura simply continues to smile as she hugs her friend and they part ways for the night. When the door shuts behind Azura, Hecate stops and listens. With Isabella securely in her room in the Citrine hall, the castle seems quite enough. Even Mildred is tucked away in her room, though she’s not sleeping by any means. But Hecate won’t disturb the girl tonight. Not when she knows Mildred has been staying up later and later to research witching colleges (a fact that brings the older witch a bit of joy). Instead, Hecate transfers directly to her rooms for the night. 
She takes extra care getting ready for bed. Her shower is hotter and filled with lavender essence. The last few showers had been quick spells after long, tiresome days and they definitely weren’t as satisfying. She chooses a softer, silkier nightgown and takes her time moisturizing. By the time she settles at her vanity to call Pippa, Hecate is relaxed and pliable and she begins brushing out her dark locks. 
“Good evening, darling,” Pippa grins through the mirror when it connects. She’s already lying in bed, propped against her plethora of pillows. Her hair is slightly wavy from being freshly washed and it fans out against the pink silk, her face free of makeup and her freckles on full display. This is perhaps Hecate's favorite Pippa, relaxed and serene, unencumbered of being headmistress and modern magic activist. She’s delicate in a way that she can’t be during waking hours and Hecate feels a bit of pride at being one of few who has gotten to see her this way. 
"Evening, Pippa," Hecate smirks. "You look comfortable." 
The blonde snorts and launches into the events of her day. The tale is one filled with students who could stand to be more observant, mischievous fae friends, and strict council members. All things Pippa had had to deal with more or less by herself due to her deputy being otherwise preoccupied in securing more scholarships for next year. 
"But that's all in the past, Hiccup. I'm already better," the blonde breathes out. "Tell me about your day, darling." 
As Hecate recalls about her day, she notices the glassy, dreamy look that passes over Pippa’s eyes. That look that lets her know that while the blonde is definitely still listening, she’s daydreaming, most likely about her hair. Pippa has always been weird about Hecate’s hair. Smitten. That’s the look. Hecate now knows that she saw this look many, many times when they were teens and she’s been on the receiving end of the look more times that she can count since they’ve started dating, but it still makes her heart flutter. 
“I love brushing your hair,” Pippa mumbles. It’s as if she just let out a secret as tanned cheeks blush a brilliant red and the blonde looks away from the mirror. 
“Yes, I know you do,” Hecate says, as casually as she can manage. 
“I would do it every night if I could,” she says, referring to brushing. It only makes Hecate smile wider and she reminds her that while that would be fantastic, they have other responsibilities that prevent that. The petulant look on Pippa’s face is almost comical as she huffs and pouts. Hecate simply placates her that she’ll be able to do so when she visits, whenever time allows. The two go on to talk in soft hushed tones as Hecate herself settles into bed for the night, falling asleep together without ending their call. 
Meanwhile, back in the Ruby corridor, two very awake and very excited witches sit in front of their mirror, whispering away to their friend. 
“Come on, Izzy! Think of it! Addy is going to be at Pentangle’s most of the time. And we’re going to be here. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just open our wardrobe and boom? We’re there or she’s here.” 
The redhead purses her lips in thought. The Addy in questions has hope in her eyes as she holds up the spell they can do to essentially make a portal connecting the two rooms. It’s restricted use of magic but it would be nice to visit whenever they wanted. “Okay, fine! What do we do?” 
So, they set to work. Addy lists off the ingredients and directions while Azura mixes them together. Izzy then takes the combination of ingredients and crawls into the wardrobe. 
“We should put in a clause! That no other people here or at Pentangle’s can find the door.” 
“Especially, HB.” 
“Oh yeah, she’d go bats.” 
So, they add a few lines to the spell and with slightly shaky hands, Izzy closes her eyes and begins the spell. Her hands trace the back panel of the closet and then she knocks three times. All three girls wait and wait and wait, confused until the light pulls at the edge and a new door forms. 
“It worked! We did it!” Azura whisper-squeals before crawling through the new door.
Hecate wakes slowly as her alarm charm tings to life at 6 AM. With eyes still closed she lifts a hand to silence the charm, breathing deeply and stretching like a cat, back arched and limbs straight. And suddenly there is a set of arms and legs, warm and secure around her own body. Her eyes shoot open. She stiffens. She wants to panic immediately. A voice in her head that sounds suspiciously like a certain blonde tells her to Breathe, Hecate. Assess. Her gaze looks down to the hands now around her middle. Pink nails, tanned arms. Pippa? 
“Pippa?” She questions out loud, voice still raspy from sleep. And then she turns as gently as she can. It doesn’t stop her from startling the blonde, whose hazel eyes fly open as she lets out a high-pitched squeak. 
“Hiccup?!” The blonde puts a bit of space between them, chest heaving as she stares at her. “What are you doing in my bed?” 
“Your bed? Pippa, you are in my bedroom.” 
Pippa looks around, gathering her bearings, surprised that she is in fact not in her own bed, or even her own room. So many of her things, however, are perfectly placed. Her soft pink silk pillows differ greatly with Hecate’s deep burgundy duvet. Her creme bedside chair had made it to the room. Her favorite blanket and the plush donut Hecate won at the All Hallows’ Eve festival the year before sits on said chair. Her jewelry box and makeup reside on Hecate’s otherwise bare vanity. It’s as if she’s moved in overnight. 
“I don’t understand.” 
“Neither. Do. I.” Hecate’s brows are furrowed as she looks around. “But we’re going to find out.” 
With that, Hecate throws on her leather robe. She pauses briefly to hand Pippa one of her others, opening the wardrobe to find it clustered with bright sky blues and soft pinks. Light washed jeans that increase to pairs of black leather are neatly hung. There’s pumps and sneakers and flip flops in just about every color. It’s as if her wardrobe has been split right down the middle, the two sides now contrasting so vibrantly. One being a rainbow of color and the other darker and subdued. Hecate’s eyes almost bulge out of her head, but Pippa silently places a hand on her shoulder as she reaches for her own robe in the wardrobe. 
As a habit, Pippa slips her fingers between Hecate’s and all but drags her from the bedroom. The living space is even more spliced than the bedroom with the large windows from Pentangles’ front and center letting in the bit of sunlight that has already started to peak through the morning clouds. It stops them both in their tracks, but Hecate quickly recovers. They don’t have time to dwell on just how strange this is. They have to figure out what’s going on and fast. 
They twist and turn through the castle until they reach an equally distraught Ada, who is attempting to calm a fuming Miss Tapioca, whose kitchen is now cluttered with items from the other school and arranged differently. Hecate and Pippa cautiously approach when the familiar faced teachers arrive. Dimity rounds the corner with Abigail, Pentangle’s fitness witch. Peter and Christopher, the flying instructor and librarian, arrive with Theodore Daisy and Lavinia Crotchet, Cackle's new chanting instructor. Soon the entirety of both staffs are ushered into the Teacher’s lounge, which unsurprisingly has also been combined with the one at Pentangle’s. 
“Did anyone cast any renovation spells recently, any chants?” Ada asks when Hecate finally gets the room to quiet. 
All the teachers shake their heads in unison. 
"No, a staff member didn't do this.” Hecate says, eyes squinted in thought. “A student did. The magic, while definitely strong is highly simple and misguided." "Well then," Ada starts, "we need to find the stu-" 
An eruption of chatter and a knock at the office door stops the headmistress in her tracks. Hecate flicks her wrist to reveal Mildred with the rest of the sixth years behind her. Surely the other young witches are not far away. 
"Miss Cackle," Mildred stumbles inside, eyes wide and confused. "I woke up early because I just know we're going to have a pop quiz in advanced myths and legends, and I got out of bed and Melinda Merriweather from Pentangle's was in my room! And her things. Her bed, her posters, her clothing. Everything." 
"Mildred Hubble," Hecate begins. The girl starts to say something, but the witch holds up her hand. "All students are to report to the field. Pentangle's and Cackle's, organized by year and name." 
Mildred's mouth drops open, but she simply nods instead of rebutting. Perhaps she has learned something in her two years as head girl. Ever the lead, Mildred turns around and addresses her fellow classmates and the girls shuffle outside. It's loud and the lines will definitely not be neat, but Hecate has at least bought the two staffs a bit of time to devise a solution. 
"So, the whole school has been, what? Merged?" Pippa asks. 
"It would seem so." Hecate flexes her fingers in thought. "We'll have to do a thorough inspection, but with the amount of merging that seems to have happened it might take weeks to undo." 
Dimity, who had been watching the girls file out to the field, adds, "It could take months." 
The entire room stops. Eyes searching eyes for some type of hope that it doesn't take months to restore order. 
"Well," Ada tries to smile, "Let's hope that's not the case. Now, let’s quickly find a solution for today. Those students can’t stand outside forever.” 
It takes all of five minutes for the headmistresses and deputies to quickly form a plan. The students will be given a free day of no classes while the staff members catalogue the damage done, that is after they find the perpetrators. Then they’ll decide how to best proceed in educating their students. They are, after all, witching (and wizarding) academies first. 
With a plan for the witches and wizards, the teachers file outside after casting freshening spells and changing their clothes. Pippa and her deputy address the Pentangle’s students and let them in on the details of what’s happening. Hecate, though, immediately turns on her strict and scary facade (though she’s quite pleased at how well the girls have followed direction. She wants to praise them, but now is not the time). 
"Mildred Hubble?” She stands in front of the girl, brow raised. 
“It wasn’t me, Miss Hardbroom. I promise! I haven’t caused any trouble in months. Promise!” 
Hecate squints her eyes at the teenager. The deputy head scans the lines of girls, eyes blazing. Some cower, some look utterly bored. She turns to the next trio of suspicion. Beatrice, Sybil, and Clarice all shake their heads when her eyes land on them. No, not them. Hecate lifts her head, sniffing the wind as a lioness to her prey. Her feet lead her to where the third years have lined up. Head tilted; she walks the line. Walks and walks until she stops right in front of the exact girls, bending down slowly to meet them eye to eye. 
“Azura Moon and Isabella Jones.” 
“We’re sorry, Miss Hardbroom.” The young redhead blurts out immediately. For once, Azura, the perpetually cheerful girl, looks positively stricken with fear. “We didn’t mean to merge the booth schools. Just our doors. Like Narnia.” 
“We just wanted to see Addy.” Azura interjects. 
The girls talk in tandem, explaining their reasoning. Adelaide cautiously takes her place by the girls, with Pippa in tow. All the while Hecate grows more and more red, her back straightening to her tallest height. 
“Silence!” She hisses as her eyes blaze into the three very shocked, very scared third years. Had this been another time, perhaps a few years ago, Hecate thinks she would simply snap. Instead, she lets the steam shoot from her ears and lets out a stiff breath. Pippa’s doing. With clipped words and fire still in her eyes, she continues. “Azura Moon. Isabella Jones. And Adelaide Peppercorn. You three will have detention every day until this is fixed.” 
Azura opens her mouth to speak but thinks differently when Miss Hardbroom’s piercing cold eyes snap to her. “Get ready for the day. Breakfast will be served early, and every student must return to their newly merged room until Headmistress Cackle and Headmistress Pentangle formulate a solution. No student will be caught outside of their room without permission lest they want to join these three in detention.” 
And with that, the Cackle’s witches were dismissed, shuffling away with the softest whispers. Pippa then dismisses the Pentangle’s students, who follow the others inside. 
“Well, I suppose we should join the students for breakfast and then take inventory of the damage.” Ada says. 
Breakfast is.... a struggle to say the least, but they manage it well enough. Miss Tapioca and Miss Cassava have their spats resulting in a mix of a meal. There’s a mix of cold oats and bright fruits. None of the dishes match, which Miss Tapioca scowls at in disgust. The now enlarged Great Hall luckily added the necessary tables and even extended the teacher’s table to sit everyone, so they’re not strapped for space. The hall is buzzing with chatter as some of the young teens fawn over being with their friends, others over the wizards they’ll be sharing space with for the foreseeable future with. (A message will have to be sent out to the parents. There will definitely be quite a few upset families). Hecate has half a mind to punish everyone and make the students eat separately and in total silence but her own thoughts of how to separate the two schools overtake disciplining at the moment. 
After breakfast, the students are all sent to their rooms and the staff begins their inspection. Most of the classrooms are heavily bound together. The bedrooms too. The only rooms that can realistically be separated sooner rather than later surprisingly seem to be the storage rooms. Everything else will take at least a week, some more. Even some wards from Pentangle’s have replicated themselves at Cackle’s, making some of their own unstable. It’ll take well over a week to reverse those. 
The stress of the situation radiates off the blonde, but she gives Hecate no chance to comfort her, choosing instead to fully delve into the title of headmistress. But Hecate knows it’s clawing at her to see her school not be her school. Pippa and her deputy depart soon after a plan is made to begin the separation to check on the Pentangle’s location. In the meantime, Hecate busies herself with potions needed to fix the wards. 
Pippa rings about two hours later and to the untrained eye she looks reasonably and understandably stressed. But Hecate notices the red that rims her eyes, the way her mouth is down turned. There’s a brittleness to her voice. She knows Pippa won’t let it show (she never does) but the blonde is positively devastated.  
“At least the young wizards’ rooms aren’t combined with the girls. It’ll be easy to get them back to Pentangle’s when the time comes.” Pippa attempts to find some silver lining of this situation before she informs them that they’re headed back. The subtle wobble in her voice doesn’t go unnoticed to Hecate. Had she had the time, she’d call her privately, let her cry and rant and feel. Instead, she has three third years in detention to attend to. 
Azura, Isabella, and Adelaide arrive to the potions’ lab five minutes before Hecate. They’re seated at the cauldrons, with guilty faces. The dark witch materializes at her desk in the middle of the room, the palms of her hands planted on the spokes of her chair. 
“Open your witches’ code.” She speaks lowly. Knowing this punishment will last at least a week, she’ll start their disciplining simple enough. For every code they broke, the girls will write and rewrite and rewrite line after line until it’s memorized. Then she’ll figure some other punishment, perhaps a particularly challenging potion. Either way, she’s certain they’ll never use magic so recklessly again. 
When she returns to her rooms after detention and bedtime rounds, Hecate is both shocked and pleased to see Pippa already there. But her heart immediately breaks when she sees her sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, staring off into space as if she’s lost in thought. 
“Pippa?” 
The blonde turns to her, tears hanging just off the edge of her eyes. Though the room isn’t very large, Hecate transfers right to Pippa, pulling her against her chest. Pippa’s breath shudders. No tears fall, Pippa’s holding back the urge to fully sob. Hecate holds her tighter when she feels her press her nose to her neck, puffs of air hot against it. Pippa’s body shakes and shudders but she never lets the tears come, something worries Hecate immensely. 
“Pippa,” Hecate tries again. She receives a small shake of her head, so they sit there silently until Pippa mumbles that she’s ready to go to bed. 
The next morning Pippa is as bright as she can be, refusing to talk about the situation outside of what needs to be done. For the rest of the week, the two schools attempt to find some sort of common ground. For the most part, they can continue as they normally would. Some classes have been combined. Dimity and Abigail have a blast sharing exercises for the students while Lavinia and Pippa mesh together traditional and modern chants. Others are left as they were before, something that relieves a bit of Hecate’s stress as she doesn’t have to share her classroom or curriculum. They continue on and slowly, day by day, something gets undone and returned back to its proper place. 
...
Wednesday morning breakfast announcements the next week begin with a chiming of bells. Cackle’s is full of life in a way it has never been before. Students in purple vests file in next to witches in grey dresses, chatting a mile a minute even at the early hour as they pile oats and fruit into their bowls. The setup of the great hall is awkward and a bit too crowded, but surprisingly it’s been an easy adjustment. The easiest parts of Pentangle’s have been returned to their proper place. Spells and potions have been brewed for the corners. The two schools have only been joined for six days, but they’re working like a semi well-oiled machine. Each morning Ada or Pippa announce what part of the school has been returned and an estimate of their time remaining. It’s not much of one as they try to keep hope alive but not too high. Only a few of the students have been caught sneaking out to the wizards’ corridors and vice versa, joining Azura, Isabella and Adelaide in detention. 
Pippa is just finishing her announcements when someone from the crowd interjects, “But, Miss Pentangle, what about movie night?” 
“It was supposed to be this Friday,” another little wizard steps forward to say. 
“Oh,” Pippa starts, stumbling in surprise. “Well, I suppose we will just have to postpone the movie night until we return to Pentangle’s.” 
Every single wizard and witch from the modern academy groans in disappointment. It radiates throughout the room as the Cackles’ girls’ mouth “movie night?” at each other. 
“I know you all were looking forward to it, but good witches and wizards always look for the bright prospect in gloomy situations. A postponement is not a cancellation.” Pippa reminds them. That gets them nodding and some even try to convince their friends that it’s alright, but the atmosphere in the great hall is discontented and unhappy as students file off to classes for the day. 
Hecate transfers directly to the potions’ laboratory when breakfast ends, checking the supplies. Between practically doubling the amount of ingredients used in class for both schools and the amount necessary for the separation, each ingredient must be heavily inspected and accounted for. Her back is turned to the young first year witches who dutifully take their places at their cauldrons when she overhears one mention how unfortunate it is that Pentangle’s can’t have their movie night. Another agrees in a soft whisper. What causes her ears to perk is when one of her students mentions Pippa and how the headmistress seemed just as disappointed as her students. Normally, she wouldn’t give such gossip a second thought, but she can’t help but question how Pippa is feeling after having to console her more than once. 
And they’re right. Pippa has been off kilter since announcing the postponing of their school wide movie night. Hecate definitely remembers the blonde gushing about how fantastical it would be a few weeks ago. They had been on a mirror call and the blonde had gone on and on about popped corn and fizzy drinks and a movie or two projected outside, under the stars. 
Hecate enters Pippa’s office after detention, tapping on the open door. 
“Pippa, you need to rest.” 
Unbeknownst to many people, Pippa is a worrier. She’d like to be known as the put together, awe inspiring super witch many have made her out to be, but the truth is she stresses more than she would ever let on. She had worried herself sick when applying for Weirdsister’s. Every competition, every presentation, every speech she’s ever had to give has been rewritten, rehearsed, and regurgitated to perfection. Because she is Perfect Pippa and right now Perfect Pippa’s perfect academy is a jumbled mess.
“My school, Hiccup,” her eyes water just as they did the first night. This time, though, they streak down her face, the dam finally broken. 
The brunette kneels at Pippa’s feet, taking her hands in her own. “Your school isn’t a building, Pipsqueak. You know that.” 
The blonde nods, “I know.” 
“And you know you’re doing the best you can to still adequately provide for every student and faculty member.” She goes on to say. Pippa nods again. “It’s not just you who has to fix this and it’s not your fault.” 
Pippa sighs and presses a hand to a pale cheek. “Between waking up here and seeing Pentangle’s empty, like a dismembered puzzle and just having to figure things out I...” she trails off, a lump in her throat and tears welling up once more.
Hecate raises up to grab a few of the light pink tissues in the desk. She brushes away tears that threaten to drip down Pippa’s chin and hands the blonde a couple more. “It’s alright. You can’t let yourself take on all of the responsibility, Pippa.” 
Then she smiles. It’s watery and sad, but Pippa smiles and Hecate thinks perhaps it’s the first time she’s seen a true one in days. “When did you become the sensible one?” 
Hecate scoffs, “I always have been.” And with that, she presses the smallest and sweetest kiss to the hand that is still clutched in her own. The one against her cheek guides her forward for a real kiss. The dark witch finally convinces Pippa to leave her office, to return to their room and rest just a bit. They sit in silence, curled together on the couch before Hecate must take her leave to ensure every witch and wizard are in bed. 
During her nightly rounds, Hecate takes the stairs to the old but still familiar room in the tower. She silently greets the bats that hover outside before transferring into the room unannounced. 
“Mildred Hubble,” Hecate begins, startling the girl who had been studying. “I require your assistance. Report to the potions’ lab after classes tomorrow.” She raises her hand to transfer away but she pauses. “And do bring Miss Spellbody, Miss Hallow and Miss Foxglove.” Then she’s gone, leaving a stunned Mildred, mouth in a small “O”. 
The next afternoon, after classes have finished for the day, Mildred finds herself leading Maud, Ethel, and Felicity down the corridors of Cacktangle’s. She already feels her head throbbing after trying to convince a still skeptical Ethel that she wasn’t trying to play a prank on her. Though, she should get her back for the soap incident that may or may not have happened in the Pentangle’s pool a few days before. She puts it on her mental to-do list. (Just because they’re older and fight with each other less doesn’t mean they can’t play a few tricks every now and then). 
“And Miss Hardbroom didn’t tell you why she needed us,” Ethel asks — well, states — for the tenth time. 
“No, she just said to bring you,” she sighs, growing more and more frustrated with the blonde. 
“Weird. Miss Hardbroom always has a reason for whatever she wants,” Ethel mutters to herself. “Are you sure?” 
“Ethel! Why would I lie about Miss Hardbroom needing us?” Mildred tries her hardest not to shout as she pushes open the door to reveal a potions’ lab littered with small bags for popcorn and candy and sugary drinks. Isabella is cutting red and yellow card stock while Azura twines on little twist-ties around baggies filled with lollipops and bubble gum. In another corner, Adelaide is taking inventory of the beverages. Hecate is in the back of the lab, finger pointed as she checks off item after item on a piece of paper, and she looks up when she hears the girls gasp in shock. 
Without wasting a second, Hecate puts Felicity on movie duty, her maglet instantly unlocked as she tracks down the topmost popular movies and activities for the uninterested. Ethel, having just mastered a penmanship spell, is set to work on signs and labels. Maud and Mildred are sent to round up any and every spare blanket, comforter, and pillow for their guests. 
Detention (or extra tutoring as most consider it but would never let Hecate know) normally lasts an hour. When Hecate had gone to dismiss the girls, saying they’d rather help, she’s shocked that they refused and continued going on. They continue for another two hours until they’re finished. It’s a gesture she’s not sure she’s really received from anyone outside of Pippa, Ada and the Cackle’s staff, this extra voluntary assistance. Hecate definitely isn’t one to ask for help outright. So, they stay until it’s time to ready for bed. The potions’ teacher shuffles the girls, who are both exhausted and buzzing with excitement, off to their rooms. 
Hecate is just about to transfer away when Azura calls her name. The instant she turns, head high and brows raised in question, she’s enveloped in that familiar hug again. 
When the girl pulls away, she sports a sleepy smile after she yawns into her elbow. “It’s really cool of you to give the Pentangle's students their movie night.” She giggles at the pinched expression on Hecate’s face before skipping back into her room with a soft but cheery “Good night, Miss Hardbroom.” 
Breakfast on Friday morning is quiet, none of the Pentangle’s students are very talkative. They're all still upset of their postponed movie night. There had been talk that there would still be one as most were skeptical of Felicity and her inquiries the day before but since word hadn’t come from any of the teachers, the students shrugged it off as Felicity simply being an aspiring journalist. Had she not been so utterly exhausted the night before; Hecate would have told Pippa and they would have had an announcement at the ready. Instead, she had showered and brushed out her hair before slipping into the warmth of the bed that's only been increased by the presence of an extra body. She still has some last minute preparations to do before the first class begins (and to tell Ada -- something she had neglected to do in her haste) so instead she'll just have to announce the movie night at lunch. 
The time rolls around and she stands from the teacher's table and walks to the front, following slightly behind Ada. Pippa had been obviously confused when she had walked away with an almost ominous smile. Everyone grows silent and suddenly Hecate is transported to the countless amounts of times she had been forced to speak in front of her peers. Her palms sweat. The unnoticeable tendrils of hair that have fallen from her bun tickle at her neck. But like then, she looks out to the crowd and finds confused hazel eyes waiting for hers and she breathes easier. 
Ada starts with a sweet “Good morning, everyone” and then launches into a reminder that Pentangle’s magical maze is still off limits as it continues to change every hour instead of every Friday, making it very easy for any and everyone to get lost. She then turns to Hecate for their special announcement. 
She sniffs, tilting her head upward, “All students will be excused from their final periods in order to prepare for,” Hecate pauses for effect. “Special cinematic viewings of select entertainment beginning at 6 pm.” 
There’s chatter instantly which Hecate lets go on as she steps down from the stage and back over to the teachers’ table. 
“Hecate, did you?” Pippa starts to say. 
“I don’t know what you’re referring to.” 
“You did!” The blonde’s eyes brighten and glaze over slightly. She drops her voice. “That’s why you were working late last night. Oh, Hecate you didn’t have to.” 
With shoulders high and a smile, she tries not to let show, Hecate says “Yes, well...” 
There’s absolute hearts in Pippa’s eyes. She leans closer to Hecate who tries her hardest to keep a neutral expression when she says, “Remind me to kiss you silly later.”
The school vibrates with energy after lunch. While most of the Pentangles students are out for the day (Hecate still finds Pippa’s insistence of having four day weeks strange) the halls are cluttered, and excitement is in the air. Cackle’s has never had a movie night. Hecate can recall previous students mention is once or twice, but she’s sure she had always turned down the idea with a stern look and a hissing denial.
Now, however, she’s sitting on a blush pink plush quilt on the grass as the sun sets, behind over one hundred students, waiting for the blonde to return from the makeshift concessions. Pippa had known she’d want a bit of their privacy and picked a near perfect spot. The nearest students happen to be Mildred and company and even they are well out of earshot. Dimity and Abigail are to the other side, though they’re a bit less covered in shadows. 
There were supposed to be only two movies shown before curfew began, but Hecate had been convinced by more than one student and staff member for just one more. She folded. It’s not like she’d be watching it anyway. She had already sat through two supposed classics, one being about a group of teen witches dabbling in dark magic with no thought of the repercussions and thus reaping what they sow. When the second movie had ended she turned to a very comfortable Pippa, who had been laying against her side at the back of the audience and asked if she could transfer them. Now they’re taking the final stairs to the top of a quiet tower. 
“What will the students think?”  
Hecate rolls her eyes at the playful tone, “I am a very powerful witch, Pippa. The students wouldn’t dare say anything to me. They’d have to be worried for an entirely different reason.” 
“Oh? You would finally pretend to be the big, bad potions’ mistress you aspire to be?” 
They exit the door to the tower, high up with the stars when Hecate pulls Pippa to her, nose to nose. “I do not pretend. I am all that you say and more.” She takes Pippa’s breath away, who melts against her embrace. Pippa wouldn’t have even looked away had it not been for Hecate’s own urging her to look around. Red candles outline the group of fluffy pillows, a darker burgundy blanket and darker plush blankets are scattered around for when the wind gets to be too much. There’s wine and dessert and the twinkling stars in the night sky. Hecate twirls her hand and the soft melody of a timeless chant begins to play around them.
The couple settle against the pillows, making themselves comfortable. Hecate pulls Pippa close, one arm around her middle and the other resting on her thigh. They laugh together in hushed tones as to not give away their location. Pippa keeps her promise to kiss her girlfriend silly and Hecate almost, just almost, concedes to sleeping atop the tower for just one night Hiccup, please? They don’t, though she does let Pippa lean against her as she rests for a few precious minutes before transferring them to their shared room. ... One late afternoon, after almost three weeks of domesticated life, Hecate sits at the desk in her rooms, marking the last few fourth year quizzes feeling... different. She’s not as tired as she normally would be. She hasn’t even taken a wide awake potion in maybe a week even with the amount of magic she has expended in the separation process. Her mouth isn’t down turned in a frown at the missed questions and miscalculated math. She’s lighter, and her heart beats a little stronger, a little faster in time. Hecate realizes perhaps for the first time in a very long time that she’s more than content, she’s tranquil. 
Hecate is lost in this thought when Pippa breezes through the door with a smile and small skip, her ponytail swinging happily behind her. As always, Pippa greets a lounging Morgana and a stoic Artemis before she primly sits on Hecate’s lap in an attempt to not wrinkle her dress (though she is done for the day) with a greeting and a kiss, arms sliding around her neck. She nuzzles her nose against Hecate’s temple as the brunette returns her embrace and it’s the most natural thing Hecate thinks she’s ever done before. Because it’s become so normal. It’s second nature, like brewing a levitation potion. Pippa, not surprisingly being headmistress, works longer days than Hecate and while she has always greeted her in this manner, the hugs and kisses seem better, warmer, just right.  
She can’t have this forever, she knows. Pentangle’s is almost back to normal and then Pippa will be off again, and they’ll be distance lovers once more, meeting when they can. It tugs at Hecate’s heart that eventually she won’t wake to warm puffs of breath against her neck. That she won’t fall asleep to Pippa’s gentle snores. She won’t have to set out an extra mug for tea. The laundry will decrease, dishes too, and she’ll be left to her own devices. 
“Hecate, darling, are you alright?” Pippa voice pulls Hecate out of her thoughts. 
The brunette nods her head. “Just thinking.” 
Pippa hums softly, “About what?”  
Could she be completely and totally honest? Why not? It’s Pippa. She’s Pippa’s girlfriend (though she abhors the word) and who else could she be honest with.  
“I’ll miss this.” 
Pippa softens, holds her a little closer. She readjusts on Hecate’s lap, soft smile on her lips. “I’ll miss it too, darling. So, we should enjoy it while we can.” … Ada and Hecate had been sitting in the headmistress’s office the next day, chatting numbers over tea when there’s a knock at the door. Hecate stands and flicks the door open to reveal Adelaide, Azura, and Isabella with Mildred behind them. The older girl gently nudges them forward and when they give her an apprehensive look at Mildred, she just gives them a more confident one back. Hecate raises a questioning brow, noticing how the younger girls shift from foot to foot, fingers twirling around their sashes. 
Azura steels herself and turns to Ada and Hecate with her head high. “Izzy, Addy and I want to lead a project to properly sendoff everyone from Pentangle’s.” “And to apologize again for the mess we caused.” Isabella adds while Adelaide nods her head in agreement. 
Mildred steps in, “They’ve got a plan for music and food and decorations.” She pushes Adelaide forward. The younger girl shuffles to Ada and Hecate, waving her hand to produce a booklet of plans only three fourteen year olds could produce. 
She and Ada look over it. It’s not a horrible itinerary, some things will have to be changed and adjusted for practical reasons but for the most part it’s doable. Hecate has to stop herself from giving them too positive a reaction. They can’t know she’s proud. Not yet at least. 
“I think it’s a wonderful idea,” Miss Cackle sweetly smiles at them. The girls brighten instantly, looking to each other as if they had had their fingers crossed in hope. 
And thus, begins the preparation for a farewell dance. Like preparing for the movie night the previous week, Mildred, Maud, Ethel, and Felicity join Hecate and the girls during detention to assist. There’s decorations prepared and stored away, menus to give to Miss Tapioca and Miss Cassava, and posters and fliers to hang up though Felicity’s post on her blog will no doubt spread the news fast enough. (In fact, the girl had known about it before Mildred even asked if she wanted to help. Hecate still doesn’t know how she does it.) 
Instead of transferring to her room when she and the girls had finished, she finds herself tapping on Pippa’s still present and ever open office door. For some reason, Pippa’s office has been one of the most difficult places to return to Pentangles, coming second to the ever changing maze. The pink witch looks up above her equally pink reading glasses and instantly smiles. 
“I’ve almost finished this last page. I promise, darling.” 
Hecate takes her place in the chair across from the desk, a flippant hand waving away the promise. “No need to rush.” 
They exchange a brief gaze before Pippa silently returns to whatever paper she was reading. One minute passes. And then another. And then another. Hecate has to stop herself from tapping her foot as the minutes tick by. Her eyes study Pippa. The way her lip is caught between her teeth, her nose scrunched ever so slightly as if something doesn’t make sense. Earlier her hair had been pinned up into a low chignon bun at the nape of her neck. She must have taken it down when classes had ended as it’s now in a slightly higher ponytail. Her matching jacket hangs on the back of her chair. 
The brunette is still studying her when Pippa looks up and finally removes her glasses, fingers already pressed to the bridge of her nose. 
“There’ll be a farewell dance at the end of the week,” Hecate bluntly states. 
“Yes, I heard! It’s supposed to be a fabulous event, you know.” The lift in her voice lets Hecate know the woman’s being playful. 
The brunette hums as she leans forward, fingers tapping against the quartz paperweight on the desk. “Indeed, it is. Of course, as headmistress and deputy of our two academies we’ll be expected to attend.” 
“Hecate Hardbroom, are you asking me to be your date to the farewell dance?” Pippa bats her lashes and props her head against her hand, a silly but pleased smile playing on her lips. 
“I was attempting to be modest, Pippa. Perhaps some sly wizard got to you first” she jokingly says with a roll of her eyes but then looks expectantly at her. 
“And I would turn down each one for you.” Finally, the blonde stands from her desk, smile still perfectly in place as she reaches for Hecate with one hand and flicks the door closed and shut with the other. “I’m done here, transfer us, darling?” 
“With pleasure.” ... The night of the Farewell celebration, Hecate is a ball of nerves and she can’t really say why. Sure, Pentangle’s and Cackles have been perfectly separated. There’s spare rooms still in place for everyone to sleep in for the night but otherwise they’ll return to normalcy in the morning. She should be happy, and a part of her is. But another dreads the silence that will come when they’re officially two separate schools again. She doesn’t think Cackle’s should be coed but teaching young wizards had been a pleasure she hadn’t expected. The food might lose its flare. The halls will be less congested. There’ll be no Pippa. That really grates at her nerves as they silently ready to the sounds of Pippa’s modern chanting records. 
“Zip me?” Pippa asks, already turning her back to Hecate who silently slides the zipper up and up and up. 
“You look beautiful, Pippa.” 
The blonde smiles brilliantly as she puts the back on her earring, turning to Hecate. “As do you, darling.” At the risk of ruining both of their lipsticks, she presses a light kiss to her lips. “Now, let’s go before we’re late.” 
“We could just not go.” 
“Hecate,” Pippa almost scolds. 
The brunette rolls her eyes as she smirks. “Fine, fine.” And they take their leave, twisting and turning down corridors that no longer have large modern windows to the great hall. 
The room sparkles with warm yellow lights. Students are already dancing to whatever pumping beat is playing. Hecate immediately shifts into chaperone mode, finding a place on the wall that she can see the entirety of the room. Ada joins her for a moment while Pippa goes off to mingle with the students and staff, but for the most part she’s alone as she listens and watches, scanning the room for sneaky young witches and wizards. Azura, Adelaide, and Isabella stop to bring her cookies they know she won’t eat but are really hoping she does. She nibbles at one of the plainer ones as she spies Mildred on the dance floor, her movements still as clumsy as they had been years ago. 
The night goes on and some begin to take their leave when Hecate finally moves from her spot, transferring across the room. 
“Dance with me?” Hecate asks as she appears next to Pippa. The blonde doesn’t flinch like she used to when the brunette would unexpectedly transfer next to her, Hecate notices with a quirk of her lip. 
“I’ve been waiting all night for you to ask me that,” the blonde beams, hand reaching for Hecate’s before leading her out to the dance floor. 
A Hecate before would have never put herself on such display, a thought that is ridiculous to her now. She loves dancing, has always loved twirling and stepping around a dance floor, her dress flaring at her ankles. But for years she prevented herself from being the center of attention, hating the eyes on her. With Pippa, dancing is even better. She holds and is held closer, tighter. Their steps are synchronized to perfection. They’re cheek to cheek and the students and staff fade to the far distance of her mind leaving just her and her Pippa. 
“Marry me?” Hecate asks softly in Pippa’s ear. It’s not exactly how Hecate pictured she’d propose, without the roses and the low light and the ambiance. Perhaps she should have done it the week before when they were alone atop the tower. 
Pippa is speechless. Absolutely and fantastically speechless. But also, she isn’t. She has been waiting for this day since who knows when. She has been hoping that would happen sooner rather than later. Perhaps sooner rather than later meant well over thirty years. They’re standing still when she looks into Hecate’s eyes and she pulls them away. Away from young ears and the gazes that don’t even know the question asked. Pippa drags her away until they’re alone and she can breathe and make sure this is real. “You don’t think we’re moving too fast? I mean, we’ve only been together for-“ 
“One year, six months, two weeks, four days, five hours and,” Hecate takes the moment to open the time piece hanging from her neck. “Twenty six minutes.” Pippa, as stunned as ever, asks through a small chuckle, “Why do you know that?” 
The brunette shrugs as if everyone knows exactly when they made things official, fair skin deepening to a full blush. “I’d tell you the seconds but I’m sure I stopped breathing when you said yes the first time.” 
Pippa loses her own breath. Curse Hecate and her way with words. She doesn’t think she can breathe without this dark-haired, even darker eyed beauty. So, she kisses her. Pippa kisses Hecate until they are both gasping and out of breath. “Yes, yes I’ll marry you.” 
The brunette grins, beams. And they kiss. And something about this feels like a next step. Something about this feels final. Something about this feels right. Like forever.

14, 15, 33 (like generally in people, not dating-wise), 40, 47 :D
Ask game: Unusual asks.
Thanks! 8D
14: What is your least favorite word?
In which language? :D Also this is probably the hardest question in this ask game because I literally don't know XD But I try to think about something.
OH NOW I KNOW! I hope people don't get mad at me but RIGHT NOW my least favorite word is "gender envy". I just have this thing when I'm exposed to something against my will - could be a word, a celebrity's face (or name) or even just a tv series - and too often in very short time, and suddenly I just get an overload of that and I feel so fed up with it and can no longer tolerate it AT ALL and everything about said thing just gets on my nerves and makes me so angry that if it's e.g. a tv series someone's watching, I simply have to leave the room because I can't stand anything about it at all anymore, not even the musics nor actors' voices.
So lately this happened to me with this word. It just came out of nowhere and I see so many using it now and I can't escape because it's not only on Tumblr, it's also on Discord and on every freaking website I go to, and I feel like I'm going crazy but I just can't NOT SEE that word because there's no way to avoid it. Even if I filtered the tag on Tumblr, I'd still have to see the word because Tumblr would tell me "this post was filtered for the tag #gender envy". And it kinda sucks.
(I'm agender/nonbinary so I don't feel gender envy because there's no one born without a physical gender and I usually don't look at snails or so and be like "I wish I had its gender" - besides they are hermaphrodite and not genderless so...)
***
15: What is your favorite word?
This is also something I haven't really thought about. Okay my brain just said I should say: Gotham. Because it's one of my favorite tv series, after Gotham City which is Batman's home city, and if you put that word in half you get: Got-Ham.
That's why my siblings (they're 26 btw) started talking about the show with the Finnish word for ham: kinkku. So my sister would ask my brother "Should we watch 'Kinkku'?" when she wanted to continue watching Gotham :DDDDDDDD
***
This got bit long so the next ones under the cut...
33: What turns you off?
The lack of sense of humour. I seriously don't think I'd ever be able to get along with someone who either has no sense of humour at all or has it completely different from mine.
Also people who don't respect others, people who refuse to listen to others. Nothing makes me angrier and more frustrated than when I'm trying to say something and people say "I don't care." and won't let me even finish because they don't want to hear what I have to say only because they THINK they're gonna disagree. And even if they do disagree, it'd still be nice of them to let people finish before proclaiming that they disagree. Not doing that makes a person just an asshole.
And another thing is the music taste, having it different won't make a friendship impossible, but it always drops my mood a bit to learn I again listen to different bands and genres altogether than someone new I learnt to know, because it seems to be something that just always keeps happening...

40: First concert you attended
It was in 2007 and My Chemical Romance's concert in Finland. It was also their first gig in Finland ever. The concert took place in Helsinki, I was 16 and met a few internet friends I had but mainly spent time with my parents who I went to the concert with. The gig itself was insane, I had never been to an actual concert before because I was so afraid of big crowds because of my social anxiety and I always thought I don't care about going to concerts. But something in me needed to experience an MCR concert and I'm glad that I did that, because I really like going to concerts now. Every time I feel like dying tho, but somehow I still end up buying concert tickets anyway XD
The concert itsel was insane and I didn't even feel the anxiety there at all! After the concert we were hanging out near the venue and my parents already wanted to leave but I just had this feeling that we should not leave yet, and then they said we have to go now so I started walking after them and crying, and that's when I heard girls screaming behind the venue and as we went there, Frank was actually there writing signatures, and we quickly ran there and I don't remember anything else but this small group and we just handed him the ticket, he wrote his name and we left :D
Here's a photo, I still find it hard to believe that I got Frank's signature but this ticket is a proof of that so I guess I just have to trust it XD
Tumblr media
After all that we then visited this "Rock McDonald's" in Helsinki, it's just some regular McDonald's with rock themed furniture and music and that night they were playing only MCR, and from there we went back to the hotel.
***
47: What’s your favorite holiday?
I think I answered this question in another ask a couple of weeks ago but I don't remember what I said :D Probably talked about Christmas but now I started wondering it this means like... those HOLIDAYS like Christmas, or just any kind of free days from school and work. Because I've been having one long weekend for the past 2 years, and before that holidays didn't really exist for me because horses need to be fed and taken care of no matter what the calendar says :D
Anyway I think I'm gonna say: Midsummer. In Finland it's a big thing. Well, for most it just means drinking and partying outside, but not for me because I hate people and don't drink alcohol lmao. No but, I actually was born on Midsummer Eve, the Eve is never the exact same date every year (it's always a Friday, tho) so when I have my birthday, it's not necessarily that year's Midsummer Eve. Apparently also not this year, so usually I'm having my birthday during Midsummer but I haven't celebrated it since I turned 18, so it's not really a big deal for me. I'd rather forget about it because I have had an age crisis since I was 23... anyhow, this year I'm gonna turn 30 so I know it's gonna be a bit bigger thing for my family and relatives but I'd rather not be reminded of that because for the past 10 years I have just been worrying about how 30 is closer every year because when I hit that age, then 40 will be closer than ever, too ::D
A "fun" fact about Midsummer and what it means in Finland: Every year everyone wishes for bad and good weather simultaneously because people want to spend the day in good weather but good weather means people like to go swimming. And alcohol + swimming is NEVER a good combination and the warmer the day, the more people will drown. Every Midsummer Day or the first work day after Midsummer weekend, you will find reports from all newspapers about how many people drowned this time. The nicer the weather, the bigger the number(s)... It's terrible, and people are adviced to look after their friends and family and never leave anyone alone near the water when alcohol is involved. Even I have sometimes kept an eye on someone because they were drunk and went close to the lake (not necessarily during Midsummer, but whenever I've been spending time with my mom and her siblings and friends at a summer cottage).
I don't want to end this so dramatically so I also want to say that I like Midsummer because in Finland, the sun never really sets during summer. And during Midsummer the nights are usually the brightest and soon after that it starts getting darker and darker again. It always makes me sad because the summer is so short here, but I really love these summer nights when there's like 3 hours between the sunset and sunrise but the sky doesn't even have time to turn dark during that time. Finnish summer is something special and magical.
It's probably impossible to imagine and incredibly difficult to show in photos too, but here's my attempt:
Tumblr media
This one was taken in (the beginning of) June 2017, at 2:00 in the morning during this photo. I think it's very close to the actual lighting of that night. It's so easy to get too dark or bright photos with a proper camera and I can never remember afterwards which of the brightnesses was the correct one. (Btw we [aka me because I'm the only one of my family with a driver's license] were driving back home from Helsinki, we were to Helsinki because of a Rammstein concert :D)
I also have some photos taken at 9pm what looks more like it was in the middle of the day, and also a photo I took at 3am and it looks like it's a daytime too. It's slightly darker between 11pm and 2am and then it gets bright again. But I'm too lazy to add them to this because they just look like daytime photos and you only have my word about the actual time, so it still doesn't feel the same as actually being outside at 3am while it's bright as day :D

Tumblr media
Word count: 4460(ish)
A:/N: happy Christmas Eve eve!!!  Finally done with part four and turns out I ended up writing a plot that flows slower than intended (oops). I’m sorry for the wait but I’ve been sort of busy with holiday-related procrastination. Also…. I’m working on a request and a Bucky royal au which I’ll be posting soon. As always, lots and lots of love and thanks for reading ❤️ Pls tell me what you think.
(BTW… there’s a flashback at the end, it’s in italics.)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE DISNEY DESCENDANTS CHARACTERS, THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN CHARACTERS NOR THE SANDERSON SISTERS. All credit goes to the creators, writers, and producers. Same with the HP charms, credit goes to J.K Rowling (for now, just present in the first parts).
part one        part two      part three      mobile masterlist
— Oi, lass, lass,— a familiar intone is heard when I open the window.
To my surprise, I spot Harry behind a trash container, with my cloak resting on his right shoulder.
When he sees my head peeking out of the second floor window, he pipes, — if you wanted to see me again, you should’ve just asked.
— Who says I wanted to see you, that was a hint for Gil to find.
He snickers at my words,— ya gaunnie come get yer manky cloak, or do I have to go up there?
—Shit, — I breathe — Just a second!
I close the window and look at Jay, who quirks a brow but doesn’t move from his spot on my desk. He began to explore my sketchbook app a few minutes ago, and seems to be completely immersed in it. Nevertheless, he puts the device down and chuckles, — This is you’re place, you know. Say the word and I’ll be out.
His words take me by surprise. Even if he’s been here for a few hours, I still can’t get completely used to the idea of such dangerous people, who are feared to death back home, being as decent and friendly as they have been during my stay here.
So, after a brief goodbye, he leaves and, after all of my Auradon-related stuff, I open the window once again.
— You already came all the way here, what’s a few steps up.
He’s about to make his way up the fire escape but, after a few steps toward it, he crosses his arms and says, — Yer right, I came to yer place, don’t I deserve a prize?
He’s such a flirt. After debating it with myself for a second, I make up my mind.
— Come here and get it, — I wink.
Without a second thought, he runs up the stairs outside the building and reaches my window in no time. What I’m I doing? No one was supposed to find out about this place, yet I’ve brought two vks here in just a day. I try to keep my cool as the pirate walks toward me, stopping about a foot away.
He smirks, —So, doll, ‘bout me prize.
I feel the heat in my cheeks when he takes a small step closer, placing a hand on the side of my waist.
—oh, right… that,——
Think fast, think fast….
I smile at him sweetly and kiss his right cheek, retrieving my cloak from his shoulder. — your welcome, — I smirk.
He laughs at my antics, — yer kidding? Don’t ya say that’s it! Glaickit of ya to think I’ll leave with just that.
—Who says you have to leave?— I utter the words while stepping back in order to sit on my bed.
His brows jump up and his ocean blue eyes shine with mischief and surprise. — What’d you suggest, doll.
— Staying here for a while but, now that I think of it, wouldn’t it be more fun to go out? The docks, maybe?
— Nah, depends on what you want to do. — his words keep coming out laced with an air of innuendo.
Not wanting to give up yet, I decide to play coy. — You know, the usual; take a walk, grab a bite, ‘keep the heid’, don’t you have to do rounds?
This time, it is a mix of mischief and excitement that floods him. — Yer right, can’t wait to see the faces of those wingnut vampires when ya scare the shit outta them!
— yeah… I’m thrilled.
Why did I suggest this, of all possible things to do? The question seems to be trapped in my mind. Ever since we left the apartment, Harry began to show a new side of himself, one that I had only seen in the papers I read beforehand.
He invited me to do his rounds with him, on the way to the docks and, needless to say, my magic resulted completely useless when it came to achieving the level of fear that Harry had in mind.
— Not so badass now? bastard, — he hisses, with a smirk on his face as his hook grabs some guy by the jacket. — whatcha gonna do?
The guy limits himself to whimper and let out some sort of cry. Given that the pirate has already grabbed everything that caught his eye, together with the designated amount of golden coins, the business there is dimmed as finished and we finally  begin walking to Ursula’s.
—So what ya think, see yourself doing this with me and the crew?— he asks.
—Not really, not one for all of the intimidating.
— Ain’t so sure ‘bout that, lassie. You’ve done pretty well for what I’ve seen. — it is kind of weird to hear such words coming from him; even more so when sincerity is all across his handsome features.
I snicker, — yeah, right; I can’t even get a fly to run away.
His chin lifts up and his chest comes forward subtly, — I’d help you with that, if you decided to join us. In fact, — he wiggles his brows with a smirk, — I’d train you.
— As tempting as that sounds, I’ll have to decline, Hook. Got better things to do:
I shouldn’t even think twice about declining but something about exploring my vk side a bit further than I’ve been able to doesn’t sound completely crazy. Maybe is the way he looks at me, or should I say through me, with his ocean eyes; or the way in which those same eyes shine when he’s about to wreak havoc? Don’t really know, and not sure if I really want to.
Guess I’ll just have to solve this problem in the way I do it best, ignoring my questions until they go away.
I begin to run and chant, — Race you to the docks!
….
Panting, I stop in front of Ursula’s and get inside. The place is packed with members of Uma’s crew, some of which seem to recognize me. They acknowledge me without hostility, still thankful for what I did for them the night of the party.
—Look, Uma, Y/N’s here! Bet she’s looking for Harry, — Beams Gil, the blond and tall guy who first broke the ice with me the night I met the crew.
Uma smirks and approaches me, — Look, witchy, not sure if you got the memo but one night stands are supposed to be just that, and last one night, nothing more.
— Thanks for the heads up, cap, but I’m actually here to grab a pint. — I sit down on a barstool.
— in that case, — she turns away, visibly relaxing, — Bonnie! A beer for bibbity bobbity bullshit over here!
When Uma is behind the bar again, Harry, who had been inside and contemplating the scene, approaches me.
— Sorry ‘bout that, Uma just knows me too well,— he ventures. — Ain’t good for the business to have every lady in the isle claiming to see me, now is it?
His cockiness is amusing as it is annoying. — Oh, of course — I ponder.— that would be completely tragic.
He chuckles at me and steals a sip from my still full beer. Honestly, I don’t even like beer that much; just ordered it to play the part. Go
— Yer different, though, — he claims, but I don’t believe a word.
— Do tell, why is that?
— You’re not as annoying. Actually, I kinda like having you ‘round, — he flirts.
— So you, Mr. use-‘em-‘n-dump-‘em, are claiming I’m special? — I gasp mockingly, — what an honor.
We both laugh a bit, share another sip of beer, and he continues.
He shrugs, — Yer also fast. Not enough, but fast; even if you were playing dirty.
—Oh, gods, aren’t you one to talk about that! — I accuse,— and, given the case that I did play dirty, how did I do it?
— Lookie here — he gesticulates, motioning himself. — Racing a hungover pirate ain’t fair, besides, I had too much clothes on.
I chuckle, part of me wishing I could wipe that smirk off his face. — You’re just a bad loser, I’m pretty sure you’re always hungover; and, as for your clothes, not sure how that’s related to me kicking your ass.
— How low do ya think of me, doll, ya think I’m a bad loser? — he fakes a gasp. — and, as for my clothes, —his tone is mocking, — can’t you just enjoy me charm and help me solve the problem? But, in case you wanted a serious answer for your question, nakedness makes me more aerodynamic.
— wouldn’t you like that, Captain cockiness.— my brow quirks up. — And seriously, aerodynamic? Yeah, right.
— Not as much as ya would, my little witch.
I scoff as my eyes drift over to the window. The day is warm despite the lack of sun, so I suggest, — I think I’m gonna go for a walk. Come with me?
…….
The sound of the waves crashing against the docks is one that I’ve loved my whole life, back home, my dad and I go for boat rides often. However, here there’s a bunch of noise that accompanies the punches of water against wood and stones. The market is busy as we walk, but most of the catches turn out to be dead fish and trash that arrives from Auradon.
— I still don’t believe you, you know? It’s impossible for you to fit the grip of your hook inside your mouth; besides, how can I believe you if your too chickened up to prove it,— my arms cross expectantly.
Since we got out of Ursula’s, Harry’s been telling me a bunch of stories of his and Gil’s drunken deeds, and I may have also revealed a few of mine and Chad’s own disventures. For the last five minutes, he’s been trying to convince me that he’s capable of putting the whole base of his hook inside his mouth, but refuses to show me.
— Lass, ya’ll have to take me word for it. I’m still a few bottles of scotch away from doing that again.
—pff,— I playfully shove him sideways. — Yeah, right.
He places the tip of his hook on his chin, pretending to think, — you know, shouldn’t have spilled so much, now ya have lots of dirt on me.
—What am i gonna use it for? You know what, never mind. — I proclaim, — You, Harry James Hook, just made the worst mistake of your life. Now I’ll overthrow you and Uma, and take over the lost revenge. Buahahaha!
He laughs at me and counters, — seriously lass, some of these things, I’ve never told anyone before.
—relax Hook, you can trust me, — I smile, with the sincerity I can muster.
— Oh, okay then.
After the short moment of vulnerability, we fall into a void of uncomfortable silence. We continue to walk along the brick street next to the sea, and my hands seem to find a permanent place inside the pockets of my jacket. Harry softly whistles a melody with his eyes locked down, but looks up and smiles as we reach a familiar ship.
His frame stiffs for a moment as he inquires — You sure I can trust ya?
I hesitate, — Yes, of course.
— Then come on, you’re meeting someone. — he grins.
The ship seems to be isolated from the rest, yet it is full of crew members that work and bounce from one side of the deck to the other.
When we enter their sight, they stop to stare at us and pull out their swords.
One of them speaks with a threatening and raspy voice, — Not outsiders in the Black Pearl, Hook.  
— Relax, Y/N ain’t gonna start beef, Barbossa. — Harry assures, — where’s Jack at?
— Sure hope she does cause some trouble, we could always use some tasty ladies here in this humble ship. — the malice in his expression makes me shiver, not to mention the wicked grin coming from the monkey on his shoulder, so I move slightly behind Harry.
At this point, it’s evident that the younger pirate’s patience is becoming thinner. — She’s not here for that, now where’s Jack?
Barbossa’s pounding laugh comes laced with his response, — His chambers, drinking. Good luck getting him outta there.
So, shielding me from the Wolfish looks sent by some crew members, Harry drags me to what I assume is the entrance of the captain’s quarters.
He knocks three times and a groan is heard on the other side, right before the breaking of a bottle and an incoherent train of curse words.
The door opens to reveal a tanned middle aged man sporting wild dreadlocks and a bored expression. However, his facade changes as soon as he registers that Harry was the one who dared interrupt him.
—Powder Monkey! What brings you to this old man’s ship?— his arm flies over Harry’s shoulder and he drags him inside.
I follow closely behind. My eyes scan the wooden floor and walls, the scattered pieces of green glass that I’m sure recently fell down, and a table full of unopened bottles, surrounded by five stools.
— Just thought I’d come ‘n greet, so you pack of salty dogs wouldn’t forget ‘bout me.
— Nah, wouldn’t forget ‘bout my favorite boot cleaner, — he smiles, showcasing a few golden teeth, — now would I?  
Harry’s only response is to laugh as he opens a bottle of rum, — Also, wanted you to meet a, uhh, an acquaintance. Jack, Y/N; Y/N, this is Jack.
Acquaintance, seriously?
He turns my way, smirking and stretching out a dusty hand, — Well, let me say, m’lady, any friend of Jimbo here is a friend of mine. —After we shake hands, he sits down on the table, grabbing yet one more bottle, — Now tell me, what stupidity have you done to cross ways with this wonky piece of sea garbage?
I’m about to start, but Harry interjects, — She can’t tell you nothing without a dram.
— Only got rum, Hookey, who do ya think yer talking to, Turner?— he scoffs.
— Rum it is, then.
Awkwardly, I state, — Actually, I’m good as it is, gentlemen.
— You don’t drink? — This time, Sparrow breaks into laughter,— got a princess in your hands, Harry. But m’lady, — he turns toward me,— we all drink here, ‘s the code.
I chuckle, — Fine, but just a few drinks.
Thank god I have my boots on, I think to myself as I look at the floor. A fit of giggles scale my lips, followed by an almost unperceivable hiccup. It’s been a few hours since we arrived at the Pearl, and we’ve been drinking nonstop. At the beginning, it was only Jack and the two of us, but then Gil ended up here, together with maestre Gibbs.
I told them how I met Harry, but that’s the only truth that I’ve spilled. After all, knowing where I’m from would be enough motivation for these men to make me walk the plank and straight into the kraken’s nest. From then on, I’ve been mostly listening.
— So, then I was like ‘proceed,’ but they noticed I wasn’t white so the one with the fancy wig went all ‘it’s Jack Sparrow, it’s Jack sparrow!’ and I was like ‘nub-uh, I’m justice Smith.’ — Jack speaks  between laughs, with exaggerated esticulations, as he takes another sip of some cheap wine; the rum ran out like an hour ago.
— You saved my ass that day, Jack, I remember it like it happened this very morning, — Gibbs patted his friend’s shoulder.
Gil chimes in, — like that time you saved us from the Huns, we wouldn’t have lasted two seconds without you and Anamaria.
— I haven’t heard that one yet, — I voice, utterly curious.
— Well, — Jack announces, then yawns. — you’ll have to hear it another time, Y/N/N. I've got some business, you know? Gotta sleep for a few years now.
Being the ship’s captain, and the two young pirates’ mentor, no one’s hesitant to comply. We get up and say goodbye, then make our way outside.
All three of us are still fairly drunk, so I decide to take this chance to see if I can get them to open up.
— I still haven’t heard the story of you guys and the Huns.
— ‘S a long one, lass. — states Harry, placing an arm around my shoulder, to which I respond by loosely grabbing his wrist with my right hand, as to keep his arms from moving.
— Well, we’ve got time! — I yowel.
— You’re gonna love it, Y/N. — As we walk, Gil begins to explain, taking a sip of the bottle we grabbed from the Pearl.— We were like seven when that happened?
----
Harry and Gil walked silently, as they kept an eye on Shan Yu’s men. It was Harry’s first official mission as part of his father’s crew, or it was gonna be, and he had called Gil and Uma for help and support. Sadly, the young sea witch had been grounded that very morning, so she couldn’t be there with the two boys. To say that they had absolutely no idea what they were doing was a complete understatement. They were clueless.
So, they did what seemed rational at the moment: follow the enemies and wait for the perfect moment to attack. Or… at least that’s what Gil had heard his father say when he talked about hunting.
—Shh!! — scolded Harry, — you’re gonna make them see us, Gil!
The blond boy muttered a quick ‘sorry,’ and continued walking, this time avoiding collisions.
— Harry, they’re getting into a warehouse, we should wait out here. — Gil intoned, chocolate eyes shining with fear.
Harry immediately countered and, on the contrary to his friend’s, his blue orbs were  flooded with pride and determination. —No, this is my chance to prove father that I can be a real pirate. If we make it, he will train me.
----
We continue walking through the very same road that we took earlier today (yesterday, as midnight passed a few hours ago). Harry’s arm remains placed around me and mine has now found its way around his middle.
As he speaks, I feel the soft vibrations of Harry’s voice and the alcohol that pleasantly poisoned his breath; — so, we decided to ambush the Huns right there.
— We decided? You manipulated me into going, — Gil points out, giggling.
Harry sighs and grumbles, — Anyway, the point is we went inside and here we are; so, continue talking Gil. Before sunrise, if you can.
----
The two boys literally crossed a door that had no way back. They hid behind a few boxes of what they supposed were ingredients for Dim Sum, and carefully watched as the Hun soldiers opened a chest full of gold that they had stolen from the Jolly Roger.
— There it is, — Harry whispered in awe.
— It’s a lot of gold, — Gil quavered.
Back then, they were convinced that no one was aware of their presence, but a certain pirate lord who had his eyes on the very same prize had seen them from the start.
— Isn’t that Hook’s boy? — asked Anamaria.
—Yup.
She continued to press on the topic, — shouldn’t we take him? He’d be useful against his father; we could get some money out of him.
—Nope.
— And why the hell not, Jack?
The captain sighed, as he adjusted his position on the ceiling bar, — Jim doesn’t pose a threat at the moment and nothing he has seems to be worth it these days, the boy’s useless.
The Huns continued to speak in hushed tones, reason why none of the intruding parties were able to register what was happening.
The kids didn’t even have time to move when they felt the cold metal of swords against the back of their necks. With their hands raised in defeat, they stood up and faced Shan Yu’s soldiers.
—Your father didn’t even have the balls to come here himself?
— Maybe we could send him your fingers? Or maybe even your left hand? That way you’d get matching hooks.
The grown men spoke as they advanced on the two boys, making them head toward the wall of the building. When they had them cornered, both Huns raised their swords and both boys shielded their heads with their arms; but no harm came their way.
Instead, they saw the Huns fighting two other people, whom Harry recognized as members of the enemy pirate crew, the tripulation of the Black Pearl.
— So that’s why you went after the kids —chortled the man. — Your technique is worse than your fashion sense, and that’s saying something.
Both boys giggled at his words.
The man’s combat was sparkled with humor and witty comments, while the woman fought silently and with a stern expression, only groaning every few hits. Both of them had impeccable technique, and they seemed to be dancing in perfect coordination.
After what had seemed to be hours, the Huns ended up dead.
— I can’t believe I agreed to come with you in the first place, — hissed the woman, cleaning her left boot with the end of her puffy white sleeve.
— Come one, don’t tell me it wasn’t fun!
She ignored her companion and approached the boys, who had been contemplating their interaction.
— Hey, — she smiled, — I’m Ana, and that idiot over there is captain Jack Sparrow.
Harry stepped forward, — I’m quartermaster Harry Hook, and this is my friend Gil.
—Quartermaster? Harry, your father doesn’t even let you near the crew.
Harry glared at his friend and decided to explain to the two strangers, — well, I’m not exactly a quartermaster… yet! — he assured. — but I’m gonna be one, when my dad decides to train me.
It was the man’s turn to speak, and his voice came tinted with venom. — You mean Jim sent you here without training? Not even I would do that.
— My dad doesn’t think I have what it takes to be a pirate. I was gonna bring him his treasure back and show him I do have it, but I guess you’re gonna take it, right?
‘Not the puppy eyes, not those; anything but the puppy eyes!’ Jack pleaded to himself, but he ended up looking at the boy and giving in.
He groaned, and then spoke up. — We’ll all go back to the Pearl. There, well split the gold and maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.
— Uma’s gonna love this, — grinned the boys in unison.
----
We arrived at the end of the road, so the three of us sat on the edge of the dock, feet dangling over the water.
— So, that’s basically it. — concludes Gil. — Jack taught us everything we know about being pirates. Then, he helped us get the Lost Revenge.
I take a drink, — And, you’re all still pretty close to him. That’s really cool.
Harry chuckles, — well, we kind of owe him everything we are.
I lift my head, which was resting on his shoulder, and glance at him. — That’s not true; he may have trained you, but I’m sure you all have become your own selves.
— Don’ be stupid, lass, he did it because it meant a future a alliance and an advantage, not because he has a teaching vocation.
I sigh, looking for adequate words to phrase what I want to say, — Then you guys owe him what you know about piracy, nothing more.
None of the two pirates said anything.
You know, — Gil sighed, — he’s been there for us more than our own parents. He even saved us from Hook’s crew once, when we were thirteen.
—Still, he did it because we’d signify power for him and not because he cared about us. — Harry takes a long swing of liquor.
I sigh, — Still, I think that, even if he didn’t care at the beginning, he’s fond of you guys now.
Harry’s about to object, but he thinks for a moment and mumbles, — he’s been around for quite a while, even for me sisters.
—I’m just pretty glad that we found him, — Gil hummed, — since I began training with him, my father has been going on about how proud he is that I’m big and strong, and how he hopes that I’ll get myself a nice lady.
— Funny, — Harry says with a tint of grief, — my dad stopped talking to me when the moment I stepped on the Pearl.
Once again, we fall into silence. I fall backwards and look at the cloudy sky, Gil and Harry soon follow and, once again, I find a spot right under the first mate’s arm.
— I’m kind of sleepy, guys.— Gil voices my thoughts, we should head back to the Revenge.
Without complaining, the three of us stand up and walk back to the ship. Instead of heading to their quarters, Harry and Gil lead me to a few hammocks that are placed on deck for those on night guard.
Harry takes off his boots and coat, sitting on one, —‘m sure Uma won’t mind if we use these for tonight.
—Yeah, no big deal, — Yawns Gil.
— Kay.
I’m already beginning to sober up, so sleep is beginning to hit me. Without a second thought, I lay down and wrap myself in my cloak. I drift off to sleep, and my head clears.
It only lasts a few hours, though. I wake up with nausea and my head pounding. Sitting up, decision which immediately regret, I look around for Harry and Gil but turns out I’m alone. I get up and rub my eyes, walking towards Frollo’s creperie, which is a few blocks away from Ursula’s.
I arrive and bark my order, like I’ve seen people do it around here. Then, with a huff, I sit down and quickly glance at my watch.
9:30 am… shit!

True Love is a Lie pt. II
Request: Can I please have a part two to “True Love is a Lie”? The first one was so good! Can I have it where it’s been a couple of months and you’re dating Sam and Lucifer comes and asks you to take a walk through the woods while Sam and Dean follow behind, just in case, and you tell him that you’re pregnant with Sam’s child and can you name the child Diana from Wonder Woman and also include the young Diana Prince?
Read Part 1 here!
Word Count: 1892
Warnings: Angst, pregnancy, fluff, cursing, terrible writing, idk what else since it has been too long since I’ve read this, the format got messed up when i posted this from my google docs
Pairing: Sam Winchester x Reader, Past Lucifer x Reader
A/N: I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Shit has been so crazy the past few months/years but I’ve got my mojo back! It has been so long since I’ve done anything but I am hoping that with this pandemic I can finally post and write all the requests I have been getting, sequels to my other stories, as well as new stuff I’ve been working on. I am still not taking any requests until I have finished those in my inbox. I love you all and I am so happy to be writing again!
Tumblr media
A year went by since your last heartwrenching encounter with Lucifer.  You nearly forgot about it because of your new life with Sam.  Sam always made sure to be attentive and by your side at a moment’s notice.  He made you trust in people again after your confrontation with Lucifer.  He knew after that experience you’d be broken, so he made sure to be there to mend the pieces.   
You did not want to dwell in the past and think yourself into a  depressive mood, especially with the Winchester boys and your new best friend, Jack, gone on a hunt.  You would’ve went with them had you not felt so nauseous and tired.  It was a typical salt-n-burn so you weren’t exactly missing out on anything important.  Nevertheless, Sam hated leaving you, especially with Lucifer still out there, but you were safe. 
Just as the thought of the moose enters your mind, your phone buzzes.
Sam: Hey baby girl, we’re on our way back.  Need anything?
You: Just some warm cuddles from my moose. 
You: Actually, I need oranges like right now. Not joking, I feel like I’ll die without oranges.
Sam: Is everything ok? You’ve never asked for oranges and I’ve never even seen you eat oranges since I’ve known you.
You: Yeah I’m fine, just a bit nauseous.  Also I’ve just been having a weird craving for oranges for some reason.  Oh well.
Sam: Hmm, I’m no doctor but maybe you should get checked out.  I worry about you, honey.
You: I know sweetie, but the doctor is expensive. It’s probably just the stomach flu or something.  Btw, how much longer?
Sam: Probably an hour, give or take 15 minutes.
You: Ok, Love you! See you soon!
Sam: Love you too! Can’t wait!
“Ok, so I have about an hour or so to check and see if my suspicions are correct.” You say aloud to yourself.
“What suspicions?” Cas suddenly appears out of nowhere, scaring you half to death.
“What the hell Cas?!” You all but screamed.
“Sorry, I thought you were praying to me.” Cas was never any good at lying to you.
“Umm, no I wasn’t just tell me why are you here?”
“I heard something on angel radio, and I needed to know if it is true.” He places a hand on your stomach.  “So it is true.”
“What? What is wrong with me?”
“(Y/N), your suspicions are right.  You’re six weeks pregnant.”
“How is that possible? Sam and I were so careful! What will he think or say? No, I can’t tell him. Not yet.”
With Sam and Dean still not home, you made Cas get a pregnancy test.  You trusted the angel’s words, but you needed concrete evidence.  You made Cas leave for a few days; you knew for sure that Cas wouldn’t be able to keep the secret.  The plus sign emerged with seconds to spare as Sam’s heavy footsteps could be heard approaching your shared room.
“(Y/N) I’m home!” Sam yelled as he collapsed onto the bed. You run out from the bathroom, pounce on him, and kiss all over his face.
“I missed you, Moose.”
“I missed you too, sweetheart.  I got the oranges you asked for.” 
“Thank you, baby…” You said as you chewed on the inside of your cheek.
“What’s wrong, baby girl?”
“Sam, have you ever thought about having kids?”
“Well yeah of course but… Isn’t it a little dangerous given our profession?”
“Yeah that’s true, but we’ve got out once, we can do it again.  Besides, I know I am safe when I’m with you and when I’m here in the bunker.”
“Enough with the chit chat, we have company.” Dean interrupts 
You and Sam follow Dean to the lighted table, sitting there was God himself, dressed oh so casually and a look of nervousness graced his face.  He twiddled his thumbs and a small smile made its way to his features as his eyes locked with yours.  
“Uh hehe, hey (Y/N), Sam, Dean, Jack.”
“What’s up, Chuck?” You said, holding onto Sam.
“Um, Lucifer asked me to tell you that he’s outside and would like to speak with you.” You grabbed onto Sam a little tighter.  
“I’ll talk to him, but I want Sam and Dean to stay close to me.  Jack should stay behind since it’s his father.”  
“He knows, he said that they could.”
You make your way outside and there he is, dressed in a nice suit and tie with a bouquet of (f/c) (f/f) in his right hand, but one thing was different: you couldn’t see his wings.  Your heart felt like it was going to beat out of your chest, but Sam gave a reassuring squeeze to your hand.  You began walking toward Lucifer, Sam and Dean close behind.  Lucifer handed you the bouquet of flowers and gave a quick peck to your knuckles.  This apparently didn’t sit well with Sam as he cleared his throat with anger. 
“Will you join me for a walk through the woods, (Y/N)?” Lucifer asked and you look to Sam and Dean. “Don’t worry, they can follow behind.”  
You all walk to the edge of the woods in silence, your heart beat faster with every step closer to the treeline.  Through your peripheral vision, you could see Sam clench and unclench his jaw.  He was just as nervous as you were, if not more so.  You and Lucifer finally enter the woods. Sam and Dean follow a minute behind to give you some form of privacy, while still able to barely make out your conversations.  
“First of all, I want to say I’m so sorry for what I did to you.  I should have asked for your permission and talked it through with you.” Lucifer says, breaking the silence.  
“It’s alright I guess. I did some research and I now understand that I would not have survived through labour.  However, that does not justify your actions, what you did really hurt me.”
“I know, and I’m so sorry.  I never meant to hurt my soulmate.”
“Soulmate?”
“Yes, you were my soulmate.  That’s why you were able to see my wings.”
“Then why can’t I see them now?”
“Well, that’s what I wanted to talk about.”  There was a pained expression on his face, you’ve never seen the devil quite like this before.  “I had God make Sam your soulmate after what I had done to you.”
“This isn’t like you Lucifer, why would you do this?”
“I have to prove to you that I will always love you and do what’s best for you, even if it meant letting you go.” He sighed and placed a hand on your stomach. You could hear Dean hold Sam back as he spewed threats if Lucifer were to harm you.  
“Hurt the baby and I will not hesitate to pluck every feather from your wings.”
“I swear on my Father that I will protect yours and Sam’s child. It’s the least I could do to make up for everything.” He said as he kisses your forehead. “Name her Diana.” With that he disappears.
Sam finally breaks away from his brother and runs straight to you. He sees you place a hand protectively over your stomach and smile to it.The words of Lucifer finally make sense to him as he asks “You’re pregnant?”
You shake your head and smile, afraid to say anything.
“I am going to be a father!” Sam shouted with excitement as he picks you up and spins you around.  Tears of joy threaten to spill from both you and Sam as you lock eyes.  As he goes in for a kiss, you both are interrupted by Dean, yelling incoherently and excitedly about him being an uncle. You and Sam look at each other and giggle. It’s not a perfect family, but you can’t live without them.
Time Skip to Wedding Day (3 years later)
You look at your engagement ring then to your flower girl, Diana Prince Winchester, waddling down the aisle leaving flower petals in her wake.  She looked so adorable in her little white dress and you couldn’t help but to tear up.  The audience gasp and awe as they watch your daughter.
The wedding was surprisingly large for a pair of hunters.  Hordes of hunters (friends and some you’ve never seen before), the Winchesters’ monster “friends”, a few angels, and some family came from all over to see you two get married.  With God sponsoring your wedding, you expected something extravagant like a wedding at the Vatican. However, this was not the case.  The ceremony was held in a beautiful meadow that somehow matched your (f/c) wedding theme. The icing on top of the cake was Chuck himself officiating the wedding.  
The wedding march began and Gabriel walks you down the aisle.  Sam couldn't help but let a few tears slip as he watches his two beautiful girls in white.  Dean, the best man, elbows him slightly but he too couldn't help the tears.  Cas, Lucifer, and Jack all smile at you and then to Sam.  They know you two are perfect for each other.  You weren't phased by Sam asking Lucifer to be a groomsman. Besides, it was your idea to have him as Diana's godfather.  You finally reach the altar, and neither of you seem to care about the sniffling and hiccuping. You were finally marrying each other so let the waterworks happen. 
You were hardly paying attention until you hear Chuck say it's time to share your vows.  Sam clears his throat and begins: 
“Y/N, I've known you for as long as I can remember.  We've been fighting side by side since we were little and our dads would go on hunting trips together.  I would always tell myself, that one way or another I will marry this girl and protect her from any and every monsters.  You may have not been my soulmate then, but you are my soulmate now. And as your soulmate, I'm never letting you go.” There was a slight pause and an awkward cough from Lucifer. “I will love you until the end of time.” 
He slips the ring on your finger as you begin:  “I’d never thought I would be standing here with the infamous Sam Winchester, yet here I am with a ring on my finger.  You were my first best friend and my first crush and my first protector.  you’ve saved me from being broken in more ways than one, and for that I owe you my life.  While it is true we were not soulmates before, we are soulmates now and that’s all that matters.  I will love you forever until the end of time.” 
After the expression of the “I Dos,” you hear the words you’ve been dying to hear since you made it to the altar: “You may kiss the bride.” Sam grabs you by the waste and pulls you to him.  With the passion of a thousand suns, he kisses you and everything melts away.  It was just like the first time you two kissed.  
In the back of your mind, you could hear Lucifer whisper “I will always love you” but that didn’t matter to you anymore. You are Sam’s and he is yours.  Nothing will change that.

Fanfic
Pairing Roger Taylor Reader
Warnings Smut 🔞 Agegap
A/N Ch 2 is posted below
Please like and reblog or if you want leave a comment
Thank you
Tumblr media
~~~~~~🎄 ~~~~~~
You were here with your niece Emilia and your sister to do some shopping for Christmas gifts
The mall was crazy as usual this time of the year
You promised to look after Emilia so your sister could concentrate on all the shopping in peace, but it was sometimes easier said than done.
A 5 year with her own will in a shopping center full of people and lots of things to look at...
And.. of course she escaped ..
With a heavy sigh you ran after her
Damn that kid was fast.. As soon as you knew it she were on her way towards the café
- Santa.. Santa.. SANTAAAA!!!
- EM!!!.. EMILIA!!!.. COME BACK HERE AT ONCE!!!!
With fear in your eyes you saw her jumping up in his lap and start to pull his beard
- Look Y/N!!! Santa is here!!!
You swollowed hard
- EM, that is NOT Santa!! Get down from the poor mans lap..NOW !!!!
- No!!... I am gonna tell him about my wish list!!!
Your cheeks burned with anger and embarassement
- I... I am soooooooo sorry Sir... I..
The man took off his glasses and looked at you with big pearcing blue eyes and chuckled a bit
- It is ok..he said and smiled gently at you
Emilia just stared up at him still convinced that it was the actual Father Xmas.
And you could not stop looking either
He had white little uruly hair, white beard which framed in his face perfectly, around his eyes there were tiny wrincles which grew bigger when he smiled at you.. And that smile..
You had to act professional now
- Emilia!! For the last time.. Come down from there!!!!!
- NO !!!!
- Damn it.. I have to continue shopping now.. Your momma is gonna be soo angry
- She is not yours? The man asked
- If she was mine I would have spanked her...
The mans eyes darkened
- She can stay here with me while you shop..
- OMG.. No.. Thank you tho.. It is fine... Come here EM!!
- I assure you.. It is ok, he took your hand, I am Roger btw
His hand felt big and warm, it was like a stream of electricity ran thru you
What was happening
- I.. I am
- Y/N.. Go ahead and do your shopping .. We can order some hot chocolate here.. Take your time
Emilia could not stop bouncing up and down on his knee
- Aa are you sure?
- Yes.. I have five of theese ones. . It is fine.. Now.. Go
You left with a divided mind, was it really safe to leave her there
Creepy old men were all around theese days.. At the same time you looked back and saw her with him and she was giggling with joy there was something about him that felt comfortable.. And something very attractive.. You felt your cheeks heat up
You went from shop to shop and almost forgot about them
- Y/N... There you are.. Where is Em?
- Ohh hi Sandra.. Ehh.. She is..
Damn how could you explain this to your sister now
- Yes.. I am waiting..
She crossed her arms over her chest
- She is with a man in the cafeteria
- WHAT?
You tried to tell her the full story and remain calm
-... So she refused to come with you?.. That girl is sooo in trouble now
- Am I in trouble aswell
- I guess we have to see about that
You finished the last store together and walked towards the café
- MUUUUUUM!!!!!
She jumped down from her chair and almost tripped over his feets
He stood up and brushed his fingers thru his hair
- Sandra.. This is Roger..
- Hi ... You can call me Santa he smiled and winked to Em
You could not stop smile at him
- Thank you soooo much.. Was she a nice girl?
Emilia hugged his legs and beamed up at him
- Oh yes, no trouble at all mam..... A real angel.. Think it is time for the bathroom tho, she had three cups of chocolate
- Say bye now Em .. Gotta go..
With much effort she let go of him
- My pleasure.. Have a nice christmas now, all of you
- Thank you soooo much again sir
He took your hand in his
While Emilia was in the bathroom Sandra grabbed your arm...
- That.. That was Roger Taylor!!!!
- THE Roger Taylor from Queen???? Omg.. I didn’t recognize him at all..
How embarassing, you blushed
You offered to look after their big house
Days went by. Roger crossed your mind now and then..You could not forget him. You were certain tho that he would be with his big happy family..
Christmas came closer, you already knew your sister should be going away with her husband’s family, his dad turned 70 and invited everyone
- Ohh God Y/N.. I feel soooo sorry for you.. It is Christmas after all
- It is ok.. Really is.. I am used to be alone.. Go and have a wonderful vacation now.
On Christmas Eve you went out for a walk to see the lights around the houses and in the trees
Their place were in the middle of Kensington area, you walked around the whole neighbourhood, it was sooo pretty you loved this time of the year, you actually felt a buzz of Christmas feeling in your belly
When you thought about it.. Maybe it was hunger aswell
You didn’t feel like cooking all to yourself today so you crossed the street and entered the Chinese restaurant.. Take away seamed like a good choise
- Hi ... I would like to order #19 #32 and #56 plus extra springrolls...
Who could judge you.. After all it was..
-Y/N?
You turned around and almost bumped into a man in a big black coat, he had a black hat and glasses..
-Roger? Hi.. I didn’t see you
Emieditly you felt nervous and started to fiddle with your scarf
Hope he did not hear how much you had ordered
- Are you ordering Chinese like me huh.. Is it for the whole family?
- Ehh.. It is just me.. They are away for the holiday
- Sir.. Your order is ready
He grabbed his bag and payed..
It seamed like he ordered as much as you did
- Yeah .. right..
- I am alone to.. You can see that right? He laughed and pointed at the full bag
Where was his family.. Why was he alone..
- Mam?.. Your order..
You were just about to pay him when you found out it already been taken care of
He smiled at you and opened the door
It had started to snow
You pulled your jacket closer around your body
- Thank you so much.. You didn’t have to pay for me.. I..
- Yes.. I did.. I wanted to..
His eyes trailed down and looked at the ground between you
- Actually.. I was thinkin.. Do you want to join me.. I mean.. Kinda crazy that we both sit alone an evening like this..
Your heart beated so fast
You just nodded..
Without a word you followed him to the car..
He brushed off a little snow from the windshield and opened the door for you
To be continued...
~~~~~~~~~🎄 ~~~~~~~~~
Enjoy more reading in my masterlist

Thank you!! Sometimes the time crunches can be stressful but I put them on myself so I survive haha. Don’t feel the need to support me please <3 I make sure everything is public eventually so that people dont feel like they are missing out on anything by deciding not to pledge. Thank you for wanting to though, I appreciate that a ton.

Anonymous said: Just a rant here. I'm annoyed that there are no rings in the glove category or some other category. The reason I want this is because I use eyelashes that are in the skin detail section and rings don't work and I don't want to use the accessory eyelashes because my sim wears glasses. It annoys me but that's all.
i... rant away luv i feel u

Anonymous said: What do you do besides sims? That is all you post about and I was curious if that is all you play?
I play Roblox with @ayoshi sometimes, cause that is about all my computer can handle lmao. I have a switch so I play some Nintendo titles on there like Zelda, Splatoon 2, and other stuff. I also have been plying Fortnite recently with @imvikai @greenllamas and @pinealexple. That is about all I play right now lmao. I play Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and Pokemon Go on my phone.

Anonymous said: Hi there ! Just wanted to say I've also been experiencing that problem with your 'downloads' page. I don't have a Tumblr account so I had to tell you this way. Perhaps it's a MacBook issue ? I'm not sure, but I'm using a MacBook Pro. Anyways, thank you for all the beautiful cc you provide us with, you're the best.
Yeah I got another ask about them using a Mac for it. That seems to be the problem. I am not a coder, nor do I know a single thing about coding. All I can suggest doing is going to http://aharris00britney.tumblr.com/tagged/s4cc and using that which sucks to page through I know :( I am sorry

Tbh since I post hairs 3 times a month it would be hard for me to keep everything up to date. I might do something like all my CC from 2017 in one zip, and all my cc from 2018 in another? and then make one for 2019 at the end of the year. I’m not sure though.

Anonymous said: Hey! Love your hairs! Can I request a Riley hair without the hairclip?
the riley hair doesn’t have a clip so I am going to assume you mean the Peyton hair since it was released in the same month. It wouldn’t really be possible to do Peyton without the clip since it has a part of the hair going up into the clip. Without it there would be a hole and if the hole was filled in it would still look weird since the hair would be going up into nothing. I’m sorry <3

Your CC is like renaissance to Sims 4 modding(I ain't even kidding).Thank you for sharing/uploading them here on tumblr.  Would you be uploading any video on how you create your sims on youtube anytime soon? And what sliders do you usually use in creating sims if there are some?
thank you so much!!! I have tried recording my game before and the footage just comes out super lag. Hopefully later this year I will be able to get a computer and I could record something then. Also I don’t use any sliders or presets on my main Sims :)

Anonymous said: I know Sims 5 is still so far away, but I still have a question! With the release of Sims 4 so many awesome creators for Sims 3 just stopped creating from one day to another. So my question is: Could you imagine yourself creating Custom Content for Sims 5? I'm asking because I seriously love every single piece you create for Sims 4, and I really wish the glory era of Ah00b won't end with the release of Sims 5. Ily! <3
it depends on the style that TS5 goes for tbh. I love Sims 4 style and I don’t know much of anything about creating alpha hairs so if TS5 goes that direction I doubt I would be able to create for it. also thank you for calling it the glory era of ah00b lmao

7, 11, 12 and 31 for ichineil (btw i hope your day gets better)
(thanks - doing my best to not think about things for the weekend)
LOL, lot of asks for this pairing!
7- What annoys them the most about their partner? Would they change it if they could?
Ah… for Ichirou, it’s Neil’s impetuousness/recklessness, how he just throws himself into the fray without much thought of danger/consequence - or so it seems to him. He wouldn’t so much change Neil’s passion and ability to act without caring about the cost as just… just wishing there was a way of tempering it a little (at least at times) because he’s in large part drawn to that fire, that ability to rage so freely which is opposite of himself.
Neil? He wishes Ichirou would let go more often. He sees his lord and lover hold everything in, to insist on watching everyone make their moves while he oversees all and takes it in and waits for the pieces to fall into place, and it’s all such a pain in the ass sometimes (and not in a fun way) waiting for things to reach critical mass, standing back while Ichirou internally seethes over the slights and the attempts on his ‘kingdom’ while he watches on with that slight smile on his face and his Butcher straining at the leash. Because once Ichirou finally decides enough is enough? So much damn work for Neil, both cleaning up things and undoing all the knots in Ichirou. Yes, he’d change that if he could.
11 - - Do they celebrate holidays? Anniversaries? 
Neither of them are really big on holidays - New Year’s Eve is probably the ‘main’ holiday they celebrate, a chance for Ichirou to host people and do business while they see another year closed and hope for a good one to begin. But Neil doesn’t have good memories of family gatherings and Ichirou doesn’t have attachments to them after the death of his mother. They make an effort for each other’s birthdays, more as an excuse to have that day to themselves and to gift each other (Ichirou starts the tradition) - they don’t do anniversaries, either, because it’s just a given, them being together.
12 - - Is there a wedding? What was the proposal like? Any kind of honeymoon? 
Hmm, I think Ichirou would have a wife still at some point, a ‘beard’ and someone to bear and raise his son, but I can see her being quite happy to live her own life and even at some point accept a divorce (considering what happens if she has a second child). He has to ensure an heir, after all. But after the divorce… yes, a wedding is possible, depending on how certain he is of his position (and how much he can protect Neil). I’d imagine it would be a very businesslike proposal - them together for dinner and discussing upcoming events, and Ichirou throwing out there that he has enough time for them to go to the courthouse to legalize things (he’s already drafted the pre-nup) and go away to Europe for a few days.
Neil would probably be stunned quiet for a minute or two (a rare feat) before he agrees - anything for a vacation, after all, but that he’s not wearing a dress, which earns him a displeased look and a comment about there now being a vow about silence.
They’d go to London (just for a couple of days - not too far from New York but so Neil could visit the ‘family’).
31 - Do they finish each other’s sentences? Pick up any phrases or habits from each other? Know when the other is hiding something?
They definitely know when the other is hiding something, even if no one else does - they’ve known each other most of their lives (I’m going with Nathan trying to hand Neil/Nathaniel over to Tetsuji but a young Ichirou deciding that the young boy is interesting and having his father claim him for the main branch instead). Neil has picked up Ichirou’s ‘calm’ demeanor (his ‘cold bastard’ look, as he calls it), which makes him breaking out his father’s smile and knives even more jarring. Ichirou has learned various foreign swear words from his lover, so imagine this impeccably dressed young man who’s appeared all in control, smooth deep voice speaking in a regal manner up until then let out a rather vulgar curse as if nothing. They can finish each other’s sentence, something they only do to great effect (Neil handing out the death sentence for Ichirou, Ichirou completing Neil’s latest tearing insult) when with others, but more often when alone.

Sincerely Three x Reader who writes them poetry/their reaction
((This is more centered around one particular time that you write them a specific poem btw. Not as headcanon-y))
Connor
Poetry being exchanged between you and Connor would be a common occurrence
You’d be the only person he’d share it with. Ever.
But this time you were nervous to share this particular poem with him
You knew you loved Connor and you didn’t know how else to express it except through poetry
You glared at the poem for like thirty minutes
You were terrified to read it to Connor
Lots of pacing
You looked at the page for a solid thirty minutes before stomping over to the Murphy’s house knowing that no one was home except for Connor
You marched right and up to Connor’s room where he’d be laying on his bed
Probably reading like Catcher in the Rye or something bc he’s deep
“Y/n? What’s going on? Are you okay?” Very concerned lil babe
“IWROTEYOUAPOEMANDIWANTYOUTOHEARITBUTIMTOOSCAREDANDIDONTKNOWWHATTODOAN-”
He’s immediately up out of bed, holding you against his chest like he always does when you get a little bit flustered
“ Woah woah hey, I’m not gunna be an asshole and push you to read it, but I would love to hear it”
Well now you have to read it
Damn his support
You look down at the page and then at him and he’s giving you that sweet and supportive smile he always gives you
The one where his mouth is closed but his cheeks look really adorable
You know the one
You start reading it and you’re so concentrated on the page that you don’t see the tears well up in Connor’s eyes and his face turning beet red
You love him? YOU love HIM? 
You must be lying. He’s him and you’re you. 
He’s a fuck up and you’re standing there spilling out these beautiful words about how you fell in love with him the first time you saw him smile
And he’s sitting there, about to cry and maybe pass out?
The person he loves, loves him back
You finish and you look up at him like ?????
He. Is. Speechless
“Are you fucking serious?”
You almost cried right there on the spot
“I’m just….gunna go…”
He’s never got up so quickly in his life to stop you from leaving
“Y/N wAIT NO HOLD ON….fuck” sweet lil boy doesn’t know how to handle this iTS NEVER HAPPENED
He’d start pacing and you’d, again, just ?????
“You actually love me back?”
“GOD yes if course i do, connor! i just wrote you a whole poem ab-wait….love you bAck?”
He’d go and dig through his bedside drawer and grab his notebook and he’d open up to a page
“i was gunna read mine to you tomorrow”
Poetry is how you guys tell each other the big stuff and it’s artsy and beautiful
Evan
Before you met Evan, you’d like to write your poetry about people you saw when you were out and about and nature and all that beautiful stuff
When you did meet Evan, your subject matter changed 
You’d find yourself writing sonnets about your guy’s walk in the park or the time he smiled at you from across home room
When you and evan started dating however
You started writing about his lips, or the way his nose crinkles when he laughs
Evan would be having a particularly bad day and you’d notice right away
More quiet than usual
More hunched over than usual 
You’d be sitting at the dining room table with him doing homework and he wouldn’t have said a word for the last ten minutes
“You doin okay, Ev?”
“huh? o-oh i’m yeah i’m uh fine yeah i’m great!”
Poor Boy
Couldn’t lie to save his life
You’d put your hand on top of his and you could see his breathing increase
“You can talk to me, babe”
He would be so red and panicky 
“it’s just not-uhm it’s just n-not a good day i guess”
You’d look down at your bag, not sure if you were ready to share your poetry with him yet
Then you heard his uneven breath and you’d immediately grabbed your journal
“Can i read you something, Evan?”
“What? o-oh uhm yeah, of course y/n”
You’d decide to read him the poem you wrote the day he asked you to be his S.O
You’d hold his hand while you read it
He liked to hold your hand when he wasn’t feeling great
He likes feeling that you’re there
sweet bb :’)
Anyhow
Evan would squeeze your hand as you got to the part where you beautifully described the way he looked at you when he asked you
He’d be doing the crinkle nose smile 100% and that little chuckle he does
Once you’d finish he would kiss your hand a bUNCH
He loves doing that
“You’re really special to me, Evan. I just wanted you to know that, okay?”
He. would. be. beaming 
“I d-don’t know what i’d do without y-you, y/n”
PLOT TWIST
He grabs your face and he kisses you
And he kisses! you! good!
Then he’d do the cute thing where he rests his forehead on yours and his eyes would still be closed
He does this mostly every time after you kiss bc he just needs to take in the fact that you’re real
You’d read him your poetry from then on
He would ask most of the time bc it soothes him a lot
Heidi would sometimes catch you reading to him with his head in your lap and she would be so thankful that her little boy has you :’)
Jared
Jared would not know at all that you write poetry
You didn’t know if Jared even liked poetry
Let alone if he even read that much
He would find your journal poking out of your backpack at lunch and being the little knob that he is, He’d be too curious not to look
Zoe would see him grabbing it and she’d call him out
“What are you doing with y/n’s poetry book?”
“Poetry?” He’d be so confused? 
You write poetry? Why didn’t you tell him?
“Yeah? they write poetry like all the time Jared…”
He would be a little upset that you didn’t tell him
He’d put your journal in your backpack before you came back and he’d drop it until later
You’d go to his house after school as per usual 
Doing homework on his bed while he pretended to do homework and played Clash of Clans or something
Yes he still plays that
“Hey y/n…?”
He’d be abnormally timid
He’d be afraid that you’d yell at him for snooping
You’d look up at him with your sweet adorable smile he loves so much
“How come you didn’t tell me that you write poetry?”
You’d be taken back. How’d he find out?
“Wha-How did you fi-”
“Your journal was poking out of your backpack at school and i thought it was like your science journal or something so i picked it up and Zoe told me it was your poetry journal….I WASN’T SNOOPING I SWEAR TO GOD”
“God damn zoe and her big mouth”
“She said that you’re pretty good too…how come you didn’t tell me?”
He’d have the sad puppy dog eyes 
You’d look at your hands and start playing with them to avoid his eyes 
He’d grab your hands 
“You can trust me with anything, y/n. Don’t you know that?”
“I know that, Jared. I do. I just thought, i don’t know…that you’d think my poetry was stupid or lame…”
He would feel his heart bREak
“You’d really believe that i would think that about anything you do? God yn i love you for christ’s sake!!”
You’d grab his chubby wonderful cheeks
“You’re right. You’re absolutely right. i love you so much and i’m so sorry, babe….do you uh, want me to read you one?”
“Only if you want to” 
He’d be a little sassy with you bc he’d still be a little upset
You’d read him the one you wrote about your guy’s first time
It was your absolute favorite
It wasn’t explicit, it was just really pretty
Homeboy would be fighting the blush that was starting to take over his entire fuckin body bc like
He remembered every part of that night 
but hearing it through your interpretation brought it all back in a different way
You’d set your book down and before you could say anything he’d be oN YOU
Kissing you all over your face and down your neck and stuff
In between kisses he would be like
You *kiss* are *kiss* so *kiss* fucking *kiss* amazing *kiss*
Lets just say he’d give you something else to write about

The Way You Move//Kim Yugyeom (Final)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Yugeyom x Reader
Genre: Romance, SmutSummary: @morsalinou said: Your rrequest are open omgggg ok,…. I will try requesting simething for the first time here😅 hmm can i request a smut (🙊💕) where yugyeom sees you dancing in a competition (like hit the stage) or you dance with him you can decide (this weeks theme is love did you watch this show btw😍) and the rest is up to you! I’m so nervous omg😲😂
Author’s Note: This is the last part of my Yugyeom series! it’s so bittersweet >.< i’m so sorry for the long wait; i hope the ending is as wonderful as you imagined! thank you all for the support, i love you so much and enjoy!
xoxo Sara
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 9 -Part 10 - Part 11 - Part 12 - Part 13 - Part 14 - Part 15 - Final
You stayed up late with Bambam that night even after Yugyeom went to sleep, planning out things that were going to happen tomorrow. He stayed, helping you set up things that needed to be set up without Yugyeom’s knowledge until you went to bed. The next morning when you woke, you felt nerves in your stomach. You didn’t want to necessarily call it the ‘big day,’ but that’s what it felt like. You have attended many competitions in your dancing career, but today’s competition felt more personal to you, and it was because now you weren’t winning for a team or for yourself, but you were winning for someone you love.
You rolled over in bed, looking at his peaceful face as he slept. You smiled to yourself before wrapping your arms around his waist, snuggling in closer to him. He had an incredible amount of warmth that automatically made you want to snuggle in closer to him, it was a warmth that you couldn’t find anywhere else.
“Yugyeom,” you whispered to him, nuzzling your nose into his neck, “it’s time to wake up. We should practice once or twice alone before practicing it at the place.”
Yugyeom let out a soft grunt, burying his face into your hair as his arms went and circled your waist. “I don’t want to get up yet.”
“We have to,” you spoke, rubbing his arms gently as you began to sit up, his soft whines filling your ears, “We have to practice.”
Yugyeom looked at you through his eyelashes, a soft sigh escaping his lips before he rested his forearm over his eyes. “Give me a couple of minutes, I’ll be up soon.”
You nodded and smiled at him, standing up and exiting the room to start your morning routine. You began to overthink; what if your leg began to hurt? What if your routine isn’t as good as you thought? What if you lose?
You wouldn’t be disappointed in the dance if you lost— you would be disappointed in yourself. You knew you had been out due to an injury, but in the end, you could have practiced anyway. You knew that being on that stage at that time would be Yugyeom’s big chance to put his name out there so he could get the recognition that he deserves.
You were pulled out of your thoughts when you felt something gentle press against your cheek as you brushed your teeth. You looked up to see him smiling down at you, his hand coming down slowly to pet your head. “Overthinking?”
You paused for a moment before nodding slightly, averting your eyes over to the sink while you finished brushing your teeth.
“Don’t worry about it,” he said, taking the toothbrush that he had ‘accidentally’ left at your house and wetting it a bit, “You know how I feel about the competition. Of course I was all about winning before, bu-“
“if you say,” you interrupt him, looking at him through the mirror, “That you’ve already won the biggest prize, and that’s me, i’m going to hit you.”
Before he could finish, a wide smile spread across his face as his toothbrush hung from the side of his mouth, a soft giggle coming up from the back of his throat. You couldn’t help but smile at his actions before rolling your eyes.
“Get cleaned up. We’re going to go to practice in fifteen minutes.” You walked out of the bathroom and got dressed into your practice gear; making sure it was simply and easy to remove due to the fact that you were going to need to get out of it to change into your costume later that night.
“So, how many times do you plan to practice before we get called down for pre-competition rehearsals?”
“About three times,” you said, picking your bag up and flinging it over your shoulder. you walked out of your bedroom, meeting yugyeom in the hallway before switching rooms. you went back into the bathroom to put your hair up while you continued, “At least three, actually. We need all of the practice we can get.”
“Don’t overwork yourself. If you get burned out before the competition, I know you’ll regret it. So please, take it easy okay?” You looked to your right, to see Yugyeom standing shirtless in your doorway, a concerned look on his face.
“Put your shirt on,” you said, rolling your eyes as he laughed at you.
“Promise me you’ll take it easy for a little.”
“I promise, okay?” you both met in the hallway after he finished getting changed, small smiles on both of your faces as he leaned down to kiss your now-exposed forehead.
“Good. I can’t have my girlfriend breaking herself again.” He laced his fingers with yours, nodding down the hallway that led to the living room. “Shall we?”
You smiled at him and allowed him to lead you out of the apartment, walking side by side with him down the streets. You both stayed in silence, yet you could hear his thoughts in his head as he stared forward; you knew he was just as nervous as you, but Yugyeom had a tendency to overthink things. You knew that he was probably thinking of every single outcome that could happen with the competition, eve the things that could possibly happen before then. You didn’t blame him, though, because you were thinking of the same things.
As you both arrived, you were met with a sight that you hadn’t seen; all of the couples were met on the main sage, some of them discussing costumes, other discussing the lineup, but all discussion stopped once you two entered the room.
You felt all eyes on you as you both walked to the hallway entrance, the only sound audible being your footsteps against the wooden floors. You wondered as to why no one was even muttering a word in your presence, but decided to ignore it until you both arrived to your practice room.
You placed your bag down against the mirror as you entered, humming gently as you went to start stretching.
“Do you know why that happened?” Yugyeom questioned you, stretching out his arms as he looked at you through the mirror, “Do you think that they’re intimidated?”
“Why would they be?” You asked, going to stand behind him to help stretch out his arms, “It’s not like anyone has seen our routine besides that substitute.”
“Then why would they stay quiet around us? Have we done something to upset them?”
“I have no idea. Maybe because we’ve been the most anti-social group out of all of them. They probably think that we’re hiding something.” You sat and began to stretch your legs, Yugyeom following suit while pressing his feet to yours and pulling you forward with your hands.
“Well, we kind of are. They’ve probably seen each others routines a billion times if they’re all friends.”
“But isn’t the element of surprise better when it comes to routines?” you groaned out as you felt your back stretch out due to Yugyeom’s pulling, “We wouldn’t want anyone stealing anything in our routine, you know?”
“I guess you’re right. We worked really hard on our routine and perfecting it.”
“You’re right,” you sighed, releasing Yugyeom’s hands and beginning to stand up.
“Maybe they’re thinking that the competition is biased towards us.”
You turned to Yugyeom for a moment, tilting your head in confusion as you raised your eyebrow. You hadn’t thought of that idea, and you had no idea as to why he had.
“Well, the director always comes to our room,” He walked over to the stereo, plugging in his phone, “And he even said that we have the best chance of winning out of all of the groups.”
“I’m sure those were just words of encouragement.”
Yugyeom shrugged, searching through his phone, “Then, come up with another reason that everyone is currently giving us the cold shoulder.”
“Let’s just practice, and not let it get to us okay?” You sighed, pressing your hands into your eyes as you walked to your spot, “I don’t want it to eat us alive and psych us out. That’s probably why they’re doing it. They’re trying to make us scared.”
“I’m not scared,” Yugyeom shoved his hands in his pockets as he met you in the middle of the floor. “Are you?”
You looked at him for a moment, a slight moment of hesitance before you looked away. “Not at all. Get into your spot, we need to practice.”
You both had practiced your routine twice, before you heard a gentle knock on the door. You patted Yugyeom’s chest as you caught your breath, “You go get it.”
“Come in,” He called, looking at you as you rolled your eyes.
The director entered your practice room, but his presence didn’t seem as happy as it usually was. Behind him came in four other people; two you noticed, were another couple in the competition.
“Hello,” you both greeted all of them, your attention quickly going back to the director as you rose your eyebrow. “Is everything alright?”
“It was brought to our attention,” The director said, complete serious in voice, yet complete remorse in his eyes, “That your routine is very similar, almost identical to that of,” He looked back at the two as they stood side by side, “these contestants.”
“What do you mean..?” you asked, looking at the director and then to the couple, “We’ve never seen their routine.”
“Then how have you stolen the moves of our bridge?” The girl of the group spoke, crossing her arms, “We saw you two practicing before you had your accident, and you copied our whole bridge.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Yugyeom said politely, “We don’t even know what song that you’re dancing to. How could we have stolen the whole bridge?”
“Even if you don’t think that you have stolen their moves,” The director spoke softly, “We still have to check to make sure. We need you two to follow us to the main stage so we can asses.”
“We aren’t the only couple that has complaints with them,” The boy spoke up, nodding his head towards both you and Yugyeom, “Two other couples think that they’ve stolen moves from their routines as well.”
“We don’t know anyone in the competition besides each other,” You spoke up, beginning to feel your blood boil as your eyes wondered from the couple and to the director, “We don’t leave the practice room when we come to practice. We don’t know what songs any of the couples are using, since we were first to practice before I passed out. I don’t think it’s possible for us to steal any moves to any routine if we never leave the practice room.”
“I understand that you’re upset,” One of the two men behind the director spoke, “But even though you don’t believe that you have stolen any part of your dance, we still have to make sure. Plagiarism is taken very seriously in this competition, and could result in immediate disqualification.”
Your eyes widened at the word ‘disqualification.’ How could you get disqualified for something that you didn’t do? You looked back at Yugyeom, who seemed just as shocked as you were.
“Please, follow us,” The other said, turning around and beginning to walk out of the room with everyone following suit. You gripped your hands into fists, digging your nails into your skin as you took a deep breath. You knew though, that doing that was no use. You simply couldn’t calm down after being accused of something you knew you wouldn’t be able to do.
You felt everyone’s eyes on you as you went through the entrance to the main stage; couples littered everywhere in midst of dress rehearsal, yet they seemed to have enough time to stare you down as you made your way down the aisle. You looked straight Yugyeom’s back, not giving anyone the satisfaction that they had managed to grab your attention. You walked up on the stage, the director kindly asking everyone else who was practicing to get off while the other couple began to get into place.
“Okay,” one of the two men who followed the director said, “Do you remember what part it is that you think they stole?”
“It was right before (Y/N) had passed out,” The girl said, “It was nine counts of eight before their big lift. We do all of that, as well as the lift.”
“That’s a very large chunk of your song that you’re claiming that they plagiarized,” The director said, looking from her to you. You could tell that he didn’t want to do this; that he believed that you wouldn’t steal another competitors dance, but it seems as if the two men who are standing behind him have more power than he has, because he won’t go easy on you with his words like he usually would.
“That’s around one third of our dance,”  your competitor said, “It’s the main part of it.”
“Alright, get in places, both couples,”  The director said, him and the three men walking off stage to give you both more room, “You know where she’s talking about, right?”
You nodded, looking at Yugyeom to make sure he knew, but he was already in place. You went to stand in front of him, and realized that both you two and your competitors did have the same starting position. You began to get an uneasy feeling in your stomach.
The director counted off for you, and as you both danced, you could hear other competitors whisper. Whenever you looked at Yugyeom, he had a soft smile on his face; you knew he was trying to calm you down. He could tell how worried you were about this from the moment they told you. You smiled back as you backed up and ran to him for the lift and toss, executing the move successfully before stopping.
You looked down at the director, but he looked away from you. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes, feeling Yugyeom’s hands rest on your shoulders as you heard footsteps nearing you.
“Well,” you heard one of the men say, “It is incredibly similar, down to the point and flex of your toes.”
“Thank you,” the girl in an exasperated tone, “I was worried you’d say it wasn’t. We’ve been working on that move for so long.”
“But how can you tell that we took it from them?” Yugyeom said gently, “Why can’t it be the other way around as well?”
“They were the ones who brought it to our attention, so we only have to assume that you were the ones who copied them.”
“I can assure you that we have never stolen any dance move from any of our competitors,” you stated calmly, looking at the man, “We don’t socialize or leave our practice room.”
“I understand that. But your dances are too similar. If you go on stage with that, you would get a very low score.”
“Then disqualify them,” The girl said, gesturing to you and Yugyeom, “Tonights the competition.”
“I don’t think we have to disqualify them,” The director said, going in front of you and Yugyeom while facing the two men, “I’m sure that if we let them compete, they’ll be able to pull something together quick.”
“Like a freestyle dance? For one third of our routine?” You asked, looking back at Yugyeom, “Think we can?”
“I know we can,” he looked at the two men, “If they’ll let us.”
“That’s unfair,” the girl said, “You said immediate disqualification. Why do they get an exception? Because they’re the directors favorite couple?” She sighed, letting he arm fall to the floor, “We’re all going to lose if you let them compete.”
“Then you all should have worked harder, shouldn’t you?” The other man said, “I heard that almost all of the couple barely had their dances together at the beginning of this week. If that’s true, then you should have worked twice as hard as you were working from the beginning.”
The girl stayed in silence, letting her eyes wander around the room as her partner stood behind her.
“We’ll let them compete. But if there’s any similarities in that part of the dance again, they will be disqualified during the competition.”
You let out a sigh in relief, turning to Yugyeom who in turn wrapped his arms around you. “Thank you,” Yugyeom said with a smile, patting your back gently to make you look up at him, “We should go practice now.”
You nodded softly, looking back at the men and the director and thanking them, before passing the couple and getting off stage. All of the whispers before had gotten even louder, some saying that you and Yugyeom should be ashamed of trying to copy another persons dance, while others saying that you should have gotten disqualified because you wont be able to pull together that much of a dance in so little time.
You let out a loud groan as you entered the practice room, slamming the door behind you. “This is unfair. We’ve had that part of the dance in there forever, I don’t understand how they could think that we plagiarized another couples dance! I don’t even know who they are, let alone their dance. why would i jeopardize this competition for something so stupid?”
“Hey,” Yugyeom said in a soothing voice, walking over to you slowly. He pressed his hand to your cheek gently, while the other wiped a few stray hairs from your face, “It’s okay, just breathe. I know it’s unfair that they’re doing this to us, but we were lucky. We could have been disqualified, but they’re just letting us come up with a new part of the dance. They let us off easy, so we should show them all that we’re made of with the new part of the routine. Let’s make it the absolute best choreography we can, alright?”
You looked at him for a moment, a soft smile on his face as you nodded. “Alright. But we have to work on it now. You know the rest of the dance by heart, right?”
“I could dance the whole thing backwards with no music,” Yugyeom assured you, making you chuckle as he walked towards the speaker, “Now, let’s get working.”
The following hours were filled with brainstorming of new, fresh moves to do. You knew that that part in the dance was both very simple and very easy, so you thought that maybe, this gave you a chance to make the moves more intricate and complex. It gave you the chance to make the whole routine fit more.
You and Yugyeom had decided to do a lift in the beginning of the routine instead of the end, While other moves afterwards would be more floor based than air based. You had decided on doing more things beneath him and more things to follow the storyline that you were trying to create, rather than following the rhythm too much.
Each new move you tried to execute made your head spin, and though they were difficult, you continued to practice them over and over until you got them perfectly. Though, you were only able to do one full run-through of the dance before you two were called down for costume check.
“I’m actually really nervous,” you voiced to Yugyeom as you fixed your costume, walking down the hall hip by hip with him, ‘With the new moves, I mean. What if I forget them?”
“You won’t,” Yugyeom said, patting your head gently, “You’re very smart and you’re good at remembering things. And besides, you have been in hundreds of competitions, this one is just the same, if not smaller than all of your other ones. Just breathe, we’re going to be fine.”
You looked up at him and smiled as you entered the backstage area. You sat in a chair and fixed your hair and makeup a bit, while other competitors had family members and such come backstage to wish them good luck before they went out onstage. It was then you realized a familiar face.
“Yugyeom,” you said, pulling on his sleeve to grab his attention. You nodded your head behind you, to a girl who was sitting on her phone while leaning against the wall, “Isn’t that the substitute that you worked with?”
Yugyeom looked up for a moment, before nodding. “Yeah, that’s her. But she’s not in the competition. Why is she backstage?”
You shrugged softly, looking back at her, when you saw her smile widen. She looked up from her phone and began walking straight; right into one of your competitors arms. But not just any competitor; she walked straight into the arms of the girl that had accused you of copying your dance. They gave each other kisses, while the partner patted the girl on the head.
“Wow,” You sighed, looking back at Yugyeom, “Are you thinking what i’m thinking?”
“I’m thinking that the sub told those two about our dance because I didn’t like her like she liked me.”
You nodded at Yugyeom, letting him know that that was exactly what had been going through your mind. Before you could say anything else, you saw someone put their hands on yugyeom. You quickly looked back and smiled, seeing Bambam with a big bouquet of roses tucked under one arm and a very tiny sign under the other.
“Boo!” BamBam said, laughing softly as Yugyeom and you both turned your chairs to look at him, “Why does everyone seem so glum? Come on! Competition day, woo!” BamBam shook the sign and the roses slightly as he cheered, making you chuckle and roll your eyes.
“I can’t believe they let you back here," you sighed, watching BamBam pout as he looked at the roses he had.
“Well, i’m your family aren’t I?” he asked, his question making your heart swell. You nodded softly at him, a small smile on your face. He extended the roses out to you, humming, “And your big brother got you roses for the big day~”
You took the roses, thanking him softly as you held them while Yugyeom pouted. “And none for me, big brother?” he teased, making Bambam push his shoulder back softly.
“Of course there’s something for you, but you have to wait until you get home to see it.” BamBam smiled, taking his little sign and waving it, “Woo! Go Yugyeom and (Y/N)!”
You laughed, reaching out to hug him while Yugyeom did the same. No matter what happens, you were happy to have your new little family with you.
“Go get a seat,” Yugyeom said to Bambam as he stood from his chair, “We have to do more quick stretches before we go on.”
“You’re kicking me out?” Bambam laughed, beginning to walk away before looking back at you two, “Alright, whatever. Good luck you too!” You both waved as he exited the backstage, sighing softly as Yugyeom helped you up. BamBam was always able to help you get rid of your nerves, especially at this stressful of a time.
“Alright,” The director game up on the stage, smiling at everyone with a piece of paper in his hand, “Here’s the setlist. Find which number you are so you can line up accordingly. Show starts in five, good luck everyone!” He turned around and handed the setlist to whoever was there, everyone crowding around that one person as they all read aloud what number they were. As the person saw you and Yugyeom coming, they rolled their eyes and allowed the setlist to fall out of their hands and onto the floor, everyone stomping over it as they left the area to freshen up and stretch before lining up. You rolled your eyes and bent down to grab the setlist.
“I thought we were all adults, but it seems some of us are still stuck in the first grade,” You said to Yugyeom, trying to de-wrinkle  the setlist as best as you can before looking at it.
“We’re the third to last act,” Yugyeom said, smiling at you, “We have plenty of time. We can probably run through our number once or twice before we go on stage.”
“That’s both a relief and a curse,” you sighed gently, turning and placing the setlist on a table, “As much as I want to practice, i want to get this over with too.”
“Don’t whine now,” Yugyeom scolded, tapping your nose gently, “We’re almost to the end. Just hold out a little longer, and you can whine when it’s over.”
You sighed, looking away from him before taking his hand. “Come on. Let’s go practice.”
You dragged him to a corner, the sounds of music and the instructors loud voice booming through the microphone as he introduced the competition. You heard people screaming and chanting for their favorites as he spoke, and you felt a small tinge of nerves in your tummy as you and Yugyeom practiced on of the more difficult parts of your dance over and over.
While practicing, you heard the beginning and end of a couple of songs, always keeping track on what number song you were listening to so you would know when to line up. You looked at Yugyeom momentarily, who was shaking out his body. You knew he must be nervous as well, but he was trying to act like the calm one of you two for you. You smiled softly as him, walking over to him and wrapping your arms around his waist.
“You know i love you, right?”
You saw his smile grow wide as he kept his focus not on you, but on cracking his neck and shaking out his shoulders. “And I love you. And I know that we can do this, no matter who lied about us copying their dance.” he looked down at you momentarily, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead before wrapping his arms around your shoulders. “How many danced are we up to?”
“This is number seven,” you said gently, “We should be lining up soon.”
He hummed in acknowledgment, rubbing your shoulders gently. “Still nervous?”
“Of course. But it would be abnormal not to be nervous at a time like this.” You released him from your grip as he did to you, smiling up at him gently. “But I can get through it.”
He nodded gently at you, patting your head gently as he looked to the side. You followed his gaze as you watched one couple exit the stage and another couple enter. “Seven.”
“Let’s go line up,” He said gently, patting your back as he began to walk. You followed after him, but the walk seemed so long for some reason. You felt your body becoming tense, but you knew it wouldn’t stay like that, you knew it was simply due to nerves. You took a deep breath as you finally arrived next to Yugyeom on the line. It kept getting shorter and shorter before you could even count what number you were up to, and before you knew it, the couple in front of you had entered the stage.
You breathed in again, closing your eyes and counting to ten. You tried to reassure yourself that you were fine, that the moves you had just made were good enough to fit your dance, that you wouldn’t mess up or forget. You ran through your list of nerves, telling yourself that they wont happen, when you felt something warm engulf your hand.
you looked down and saw that Yugyeom’s hand was holding yours gently. He slowly lifted both of your hands and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of yours, a small smile on his plump lips before letting go.
You heard the crowd cheer, and looked over to see the couple before you walk off stage.
“And now,” The instructor said, “Our next couple, (Y/N) and Yugyeom!”
You sighed softly, walking on the stage with Yugyeom while the lights went dim. In the midst of whispers, you could hear a loud, but deep groan, cheering your names, and you knew that it was Bambam. You looked out to the crowd momentarily and saw blinking lights in the distance, making you smile.
You took another deep breath and got in place. When you heard the music begin, your dance began to flow through your arms and legs in time with the music. For those few minutes on stage, your focus was on nothing more than the dance that you were doing. You would look at Yugyeom during the dance, your facials and longing stares important to the choreography, but as soon as you turned away, you would smile. As the part you had just choreographed came, Yugyeom nodded at you gently. He had so much faith in you, he was your rock. He knew that you would be able to do the dance perfectly. And because of that faith, you ran and did the lift perfectly. You did all of the floor moves easily, and after that, you were able to execute the rest of the dance without a care in the world.
The music stopped and the crowd cheered, your chest rising and falling roughly as you and Yugyeom bowed, taking hands and bowing again together, before the lights on the stage went off. You both ran off, him turning around and gathering you into his arms. He spun you around, laughing gently and pressing gentle kisses into your cheeks.
“I’m so happy,” You smiled, gripping him tightly before he let you down, “I’m so relieved.”
“I told you that you’d do fine,” Yugyeom smiled, pressing his hands to your cheeks, “That was amazing!”
“Do you think we did well enough to win?” you asked him, watching in the corner of your eye as the second to last act went on stage, “Do you think the judges liked it?”
“I think so,” Yugyeom said, nodding gently as he took your hand, “But even if they didn’t, who cares? We did great. We did everything we could have because of the little choreography hiccup, and i’m proud of you and proud of us.”
You nodded, smiling up at him, “I am too.”
You both sat in your chairs backstage, waiting for the announcement for all of the dancers to come onstage, when you saw the instructor come towards you. You quickly stood, patting Yugyeom softly for him to do the same, as the instructor situated himself in front of you.
“We reviewed the tapes,” the instructor said, a small smile on his face, “We reviewed the security tapes from the day of the practice runs.”
You raised an eyebrow at him, looking to Yugyeom and back. “Why?”
“Because I don’t remember seeing their dance that day,” he said to you, “I went with Yugyeom to the hospital as soon as I saw that you were hurt, and I allowed all of the groups to practice on their own. I didn’t get back in time to see them practice, so we reviewed the tapes. Their dance was completely different from yours on that day, and the day after that when they practiced on the large stage too. They must have changed their routine after they saw yours.”
“We actually think that the girl I was working with as a substitute showed them our dance,” Yugyeom said. “We saw her backstage before the concert started. She’s probably a little sister or something?”
“So you think that she told them about your choreography? Why would she do that? Does she have anything against you two?”
“I think that she’s upset that i didn’t want to go out with her,” Yugyeom said, you nodding gently, “But, why?”
“Because of the tapes that we found, we were immediately disqualified.” The instructor smiled widely at you both, “So now both of you have a better chance at winning.”
“That’s amazing!” You said, “Thank you so much!”
“Don’t thank me. I just know that you would never steal someone else’s dances when both of you are very incredible and talented dancers. On behalf of all of the judges, we are terribly sorry for this mistake.” He bowed his head down at you, smiling as he came up. “Now, go line up for the results. I need to go back.”
“Thank you again,” Yugyeom smiled, wrapping his arm around your waist as the instructor exited the back stage and ran to sit down. You smiled up at Yugyeom , feeling him squeeze you gently.
“Can I say something?” Yugyeom asked, pulling you along to line up with the other dancers, “I don’t really care about winning that much anymore. I’m happy that we got to compete, and i’m happy that I have you. Of course winning would be a nice all-kill, but, i’m really content with what I have now.”
Yugyeom pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead as you nodded, closing your eyes and leaning into him. “I agree. But now, I kind of want to win to shove it in their faces after they falsely accused us of plagiarizing their dance.”
Yugyeom laughed softly, nodding at you, “That’s understandable. But if we win, we have to pick an apartment to put the trophy in.”
You were about to hum in response, when music began to blare, and lights began to shine. Soon, you heard an announcers voice, “And now we have entered the final portion of the competition! I would like to welcome our wonderful dancers to the stage!”
As he finished that, the line began to enter on stage. You followed suit, hand in hand with Yugyeom as you entered, smiling at all of the people in their seats. You saw Bambam, standing up and waving his tiny sign, chanting and cheering your name along with Yugyeoms. You waved to him and he waved back, giving you a thumbs up before the announcer came back on stage.
“Yes, give these wonderful dancers another round of applause!” He gestured to all of you as the audience clapped once more, “Everyone did a fantastic job dancing today, and i’m sure they’re all tired.” Everyone nodded and groaned in agreement, making the announcer laugh, “Well don’t worry everyone. in just a matter of minutes, you’ll be able to go home and lay down and take a ten hour nap.”
Yugyeom squeezed your hand softly, causing your attention to go over to him. He mouthed a quick, ‘i love you’ before winking at you. You giggled and hit him gently, before going back to listen to the announcer.
“We want to thank each one of the dancers before we announce the winners, as well as the audience for being such a wonderful audience.” The announcer kept dragging the time along, making everyone on the stage become impatient.
“And now, we’d like to announce the winner!”
The whole crowd went silent as someone ran and gave the results up to the announcer. He smiled, looking at the envelope before he opened it. You felt nervous; you both agreed you would be fine to lose, but you also would like to win just as much.
“And now, the winners of this dance competition,” he said, holding up the small piece of paper, “Is…”
You took a deep breath, closing your eyes , Yugyeom’s hand squeezing yours so hard that you thought it would fall off.
“The team of (Y/N) and Yugyeom!”
You heard the crowd cheer as you opened your eyes, a wide smile on your face. You hugged Yugyeom tightly, a sigh of relief leaving your mouth as a laugh of pure happiness left his. The other contestants clapped, not bothering to look at you both as you both went and accepted the trophy. You held his hand tightly and bowed with him, whispering, “I thought you didn’t want to win?”
“Shut up,” he said as you both stood back up. You laughed at him, watching as his eyes traced the crowd, “It… Feels really good.”
As you both exited the stage, Yugyeom gripping the trophy, you saw Bambam running up to you both. He engulfed you both in a hug, cheering, “I told you I told you I told you~”
You laughed softly, hugging his waist until he let go. You grabbed the roses that he had given you, giggling to him, “Thank you for encouraging us, BamBam,” you said, smiling up at him.
“Wah, (Y/N),” Bambam teased, pressing his hands to your cheeks, “Your cheeks are red from smiling so much! Are you happy?”
“I’m super happy,” You nodded softly, looking up at Yugyeom as he continued your statement, “Now we can split the money and I can give you some sort of rent, Bam!”
“No need, no need!” Bambam said, wrapping his arms around both of yours and Yugyeoms shoulders, “You don’t have to pay me rent Yugyeom!”
You all laughed gently, smiling like complete idiots, when you saw a small woman walking over to you, someone you didn’t know.
“Excuse me…?” She said, her voice very gentle, “You’re (Y/N) and Yugyeom, right?” She looked at you both, Bambam slowly taking his arms off of you as you both nodded.
“Yes we are…”
“My name is Miss Choi,” She explained, extending her hand out for both of you to shake, “I’m running a dance studio just down the road from here. Mister Han, the director of this competition, told me to come and see the talent, and you two have incredible amounts of it.”
“Thank you so much,” Yugyeom chuckled, looking at you quickly and then back to her, “That means a lot.”
“Of course,” she nodded at you both softly. “I was supposed to be scouting for more than one couple to ask to run a workshop in my dance studio, but I can’t seem to keep my eyes off of you two. You both dance with so much passion and your techniques are so intricate and lovely. I was wondering, if you would want to teach two workshops in my dance studio? Of course not for free, i would love to pay you. And if things go well, we could make this into a job for you two. Are you up for it?”
You looked at Yugyeom, whose eyes were wide. He seemed to shocked to answer, but you knew that he would like that.
“They would love that!” Bambam spoke up, a wide smile on his face as he sprung forwards with his hand out, “Hi, my name is BamBam, and i’m the manager of both Yugyeom and (Y/N), and they would absolutely love that! Here, let me give you our numbers and we can keep in touch!”
“That would be amazing,” Miss Choi said, a wide smile on her faces as she extended her phone out to Bambam. You weren’t even mad at him for pretending to be your manager; you weren’t able to speak and you knew that Yugyeom wasn’t either. He just kept looking from her, to the trophy in complete and utter disbelief.
After a few minutes, Miss Choi left and Bambam turned to you both, a wide smile on his face. “So, will I get paid for being your manager?”
“We didn’t ask you to be our manager,” You laughed, pushing his chest as all three of you began to walk out the door.
After a while, you all arrived at the apartment complex. You all began to walk up the stairs when you announced, “Everyone should come over to my place.”
You held Yugyeom’s hand, gripping your key and going to the door to unlock it. Yugyeom kissed your cheek gently, a soft giggle rising from the back of his throat, while humming, “I love you so much, i’m so so lucky to have you.”
“No more sappy stuff!” Bambam chuckled,  pushing through you both, “I already lost my roommate, now i’m going to lose my lunch.” He made sounds of him throwing up as you all entered. Yugyeom raised an eyebrow at Bambam, before he took a look at the apartment; everything was different.
“Why are there boy clothes all over the place?” He asked you, walking over to the couch and examining the clothes.
“You can’t even recognize your own clothes?” Bambam chuckled, looking at you as you went to get a vase for the roses, “What the heck, dude.”
“Why are all of my clothes here?” Yugyeom looked back at you as you began to fill the vase with water.
“I couldn’t get them into the dresser before I could get to the competition.” Bambam hummed, taking a shirt and folding it before placing it on a pile of other folded clothes, “I had to build it too. What a handy man I am.”
“Why is there a dresser to begin with? What’s going on?” Yugyeom looked at you both as you stayed silent. He looked down the hallway before storming down there, allowing you and Bambam to smile at each other before following behind him.
You both came into the room, walking around him as he seemed to have frozen in his place. In your room, laid a beautiful dark dresser; a perfect contrast to your white one right next to it. There were pictures you had taken with Yugyeom in frames on the dresser, while the only blanket he owned laid nicely folded in the middle of your bed.
“It took Bambam a long time to move all of your stuff and to build the dresser,” you hummed, turning to face him while you smiled, “You should thank him.”
“No, you should thank your beautiful girlfriend for putting the idea of surprising you with moving you in in my head last night,” BamBam said, wrapping an arm around your shoulder, “I would have never thought of it myself.”
“I’m…” Yugyeom said softly, looking at you, “I’m moving in?”
“Of course,” you said, walking over to him and wrapping your arms around his waist while resting your chin on his chest, “You had most of your clothes and stuff here, anyway. And plus, i can’t sleep without you, I miss you too much,” you pouted at him softly, “I hope it’s okay with you.”
“Okay…?” Yugyeom said in disbelief, arms finally coming from his sides to wrap you up and pick you up. He pressed his forehead to yours, a smile spreading across his face as he closed his eyes, “It’s incredible. It’s perfect.”
“You’re happy right now?” You asked, leaning your ear agains this chest and listening to his heart race. You smiled at Bambam, who did another thumbs up to you.
“My life could not get any better than this,” Yugyeom spoke, running his hand through your hair. Suddenly, you felt Something warm press against your back, and you heard Bambam’s voice right against your ear.
“What a beautiful ending to an amazing day, right?” He spoke, patting Yugyeom’s back, “But now, i’m hungry. Let’s go out and celebrate!”

I would really appreciate it if you did head canons if Jeremy was your older siblings! Thanks! >3
omg this is a cute idea aaa
aLSO THIS IS GONNA BE LONG BC I RAMBLE
alright u know what this is going under a readmore because this is basically me inserting reader into bmc as jeremy’s younger sibling plus some headcanons sprinkled in
(as i near the end of the musical all i can say is i aaaaaam sorry. there’s so much but i got carried away with rambling about you getting pissed over the SQUIP and just wanting your brother back in the end)
(i pROMISE IF ANYONE ELSE SENDS A “hey what if michael was ur big brother” OR ANYTHING IT WONT BE THIS LONG)
(y’all this got to the point where i might as well write this and i might if anyone requests it. it might not be soon since i got other requests i should be paying attention to but i’ll do it)
so i imagine ur like, a year younger than jeremy so ur a sophomore for this
good times except not, school sucks
you two def play video games a lot like it just comes with jeremy in general
im gonna go ahead and get it out of the way: jeremy and you are extremely close, especially after your mom left….
sometimes you would wander to his room and you two would just end up talking for a bit
“jer?” “yeah?”
“i’m… worried about dad.”
as you two got older these talks became less frequent
that’s all im gonna say because i’m not really the best person for the topic but you two are really close.
you kinda worry about jeremy a lot??? like, you asked him about going out with his friends and he kinda shut up and then mentioned michael was coming over and you kinda realized jeremy doesn’t really… have friends…..
but honestly??? the two of you are supportive of each other no matter what
you complain about school together. it’s a good thing to bond over.
especially because jeremy had some of the same teachers as you did so he just knows what you’re going through when it comes to really specific things
sometimes you eat lunch with him!!! like you have your own friends but you’re like ‘cmon he’s my big brother n he only ever sits with michael, i should at least talk to him some’
they kinda get it since ur brother is a neeeerd
plus you don’t always eat lunch with him so it’s not like you’re constantly abandoning them or something
“you’re signing up for the play?” “yeah, why?” “is it because of christiiiiine?” “shut up”
you 100% know about his crush on christine and honestly, can you blame him? she’s an angel
you end up tagging along with him and michael to the mall for the… squick??? whatever, dude.
“alright, jer, but hear me out: do you really need some pill to be cool? you’re cool enough as is” “ur… literally just saying that bc ur my younger sibling” “shut up dude ur the coolest big brother”
no point in fighting him since he’s gonna do it anyway. michael’s going to spencers??? there’s a gamestop nearby so yolo might as well walk with him
(also yes i 100% found the website for that mall and looked up a map so get an idea of how this whole scene goes???)
u leave gamestop, maybe after buying some merch because video games??? expensive. too expensive.
maybe one day.
where the fuck is jeremy.
michael has to go so either you gotta go with him or go find jeremy and you ultimately go looking for jeremy since he’s ur brother, what else are you gonna do?
jeremy is… weird.
you don’t question it at first bc he’s probably upset but whatever
at some point during school michael approaches you… alone???
“dude where’s jeremy”
“that’s… what i came to ask you about???”
you’ll beat up jeremy later like what the fuck, michael might as well be ur brother-in-law because they might as well be married
you end up going home alone
i like to imagine ur also friends with michael because of jeremy and sometimes he texts you when he can’t get ahold of jeremy so you can go tell jeremy to stop doing whatever and talk to his friend about whatever
so you just get a text from michael like ‘what the fuck is up with your brother’
squipped!jeremy kinda starts ignoring you and telling you off??? what the fuck jeremy???
“jeremy if being cool means you’re going to be an asshole, then maybe you shouldn’t be cool”
you two fight??? and like, the two of you rarely have a serious fight but it ends in you slamming your bedroom door and your dad gets worried and tries to talk to you but you kinda end up shutting him out as well
you feel bad about it but you just want to be alone
fast forward to halloween eve (which you’ve kinda abandoned your friends for sitting with michael?? they’re pissed and they aren’t talking to you but you couldn’t care less, michael needs someone)
jeremy comes downstairs and ur sitting on the couch, alone for once
“halloween party?”
he’s… kinda caught off guard?
like you two don’t really talk after you fight until one apologizes.
“be careful.”
he just stares at you.
“hey, uh, [y/n],” and he just kinda stares at you before he jerks slightly, as if… someone shocked him? “don’t wait up.”
you nearly get pissed before deciding fuck it, discount halloween candy awaits you after halloween-
… jeremy and you always get discount halloween candy. the two of you always would go to the store and roam around the aisles finding the Good Shit and then you two would go home and eat until you were sick but it was great because, yeah, you feel like shit afterwards but sibling bonding, man.
it isn’t the same. it just isn’t the same by yourself.
you end up staying up late anyway. jeremy might be an asshole now, but he’s still you’re brother. you might as well stay up and make sure he at least makes it inside.
you fall asleep watching a movie before you know he’s home.
but you do wake up when your phone keeps buzzing
it’s michael. he’s asking about jeremy and before you can even respond he’s calling you and jake dillinger’s house burned down??
jeremy is fine, physically at least, but now he’s just straight up ignoring you.
can i mention your dad is getting worried? you two were close.
hey, remember rich? the guy who recommended the SQUIP to jeremy? you talked to him. he’s genuinely upset by the way.
you also learn a lot. about the SQUIP, at least.
its the night of the play and your sitting and talking to your dad and basically rambling about jeremy without giving details
and then there’s jeremy.
you take your dad’s side for once, and jeremy fucking yells at you about it.
“you were supposed to support me, i’m your brother! we’re family-”
“not anymore, jeremy - you’re not my brother because my brother wouldn’t treat his friends and family like shit!”
he gets pissed at you and your dad tries to defend you and then he says shit to your dad
you straight up punch jeremy for that shit. you hit harder than he’d think.
after the play you basically live at the hospital waiting for jeremy to wake up
the moment he wakes up your at his side like “is it gone?? please tell me it’s gone, jeremy, fuck, please tell me i have my brother back.”
(you kinda freeze because you forgot rich was there???)
he… kinda sees how much he hurt you for the first time. it’s a really shitty moment. michael pops in and you just kinda excuse yourself for a few minutes and wander away for a few minutes
there’s still a lot of strain on ur relationship??? like, you aren’t just happy siblings anymore who fight over little shit and scream at the other when they cheat at video games or complain about homework and teachers. 
he and christine eventually date a little??? you’re happy for him but at the same time it just kinda… bothers you. sometimes he gushes about her and how she’s so sweet but it just kinda makes you sick because of all the shit that everyone just went through…
heck, jeremy notices that you’re… really, really off. he misses being able to sit back and laugh with his little sibling??? he misses being able to just be a complete dork around you.
one day you’re having a really shitty day and you’re sitting at the kitchen table burying yourself in homework and you just hear the rustling of a wrapper and he sets down ur fave candy in front of you
“look, i know i was an asshole and the worst big brother, but just… i’m sorry.”
it’s not enough, but it’s a start.
one night you wake up from a nightmare that everyone??? was squipped again??? you go downstairs and there’s jeremy, standing in front of the fridge, just staring
you wander over and peek in and he’s just… staring at a bottle of mtn dew red. at least, he was until you stepped behind him. he quickly shuts the fridge and immediately asks why you’re awake because??? it’s 3 am????
for the first time in a while you two confide in each other. 
“i… really did a lot of shit, didn’t i?” “yeah. i mean, it’s not all your fault - rich said the SQUIP made him do a lot of shit too.” “yeah but still, i did it-”
it takes a while but eventually you two get to be back to the sibling bond you two had - even if there is a little bit of strain
alright that’s a lot of shit of just reliving the musical so i’ll throw in some headcanons rly quick:
there’s always a constant bicker over small shit. “JEREMY ATE ALL THE CHIPS” “[Y/N] FINISHED THE LEFTOVERS” “kids please stop yelling” “JEREMY STARTED IT”
y’know how siblings can be embarrassing? never a problem with you two. the reason? both of you have plenty of embarrassing stories about each other and no one else will ever hear them
the closest it’s ever come is when you kinda just popped into jeremy’s room while he was playing video games with michael and nearly spilled a story about jeremy before u got a quick jab in the side
“nO NO [Y/N] GO ON” “[y/n] i swear i will tell him about the time-” “michael i value my life so…”
michael still wants to know about the time at the amusement park.
he’ll never get to know. not from you, at least.
BTW THE TWO OF YOU??? POKEMON GO
YOU HUNT.
YOU  G O 
michael joins but sometimes it’s just “no sibling bonding time we gotta”
alright i’m done sorry if shit is ooc i spent over 3 hours on this

Expect The unexpected
Chapter 2 Expect the unexpected
Warning: Fluff, Strong language but just sometimes.
Reader x Taehyung
Picture is not mine!*
Once you’ve met someone you never really forget them
It was the 1st January 2019, 11 am to be exactly. You’ve never had such an hangover before. Your head is aching and you have a strange feeling in your stomach.„ wait what happened at the party? “ you asked yourself. It didn’t matter how much effort you put into remember what happened you just simply couldn’t remember except a beautiful boxy smile.
You stood up and tried to walk to your guests room where your bestie was sleeping. You stepped inside and watched her slowly waking up.„Did you sleep well (Y/bfs/N)?” „yeah kinda i had a strange dream, don’t ask me what about.” you sat right next to her and wondered if she could remember what happened.
„do you remember what happened yesterday i cant remember a single thing!” „well” said you bestie with eyes wide glued at the ceiling„ I danced with the hottest guy in the whole club!, we talked for kinda 10 min about his career and hobbies, we had shots, danced like wild and you-“„Me what?” you said with curious voice. „nothing I thought i could remember something but i just can remember what i was doing but not 100%.” your eyes saddened and your head looked on the floor. You thought that your bestie could help you remember that guy from the party but without any success. Your bestie looked at you and saw your disappointment. „But “ she started„ I think i can remember something, yeah i think my hook up and your mystery man know each-other, ergo they must be friends you know what that means noona?” „ That you will never learn that you cant call me noona?” you said with a sarcastic smile. „No stupid, it means if i can remember the name of my hook up we surly are going to find out the name of your mystery man!” she said with a proud smile. You first looked ar her with a disbelief in your expression but after thinking about it you start to believe that idea. it’s just logical but you know your best friend that if she wants something unconditionally, she gets it, but wait she cant even remember what she said 10 mins ago? how is she going to try remember a name, while she was drunk? „sweetie dont worry i got this” said (Y/Bfs/N) with a confident smile. 30 min after talking you walked to the bathroom, took your clothes off and started to pour water in the bathtub. You took your favorite scent vanilla and pour it in. You set in and put on some music. Moments after you relaxed, your best friend ran into the bathroom with her hands on her head grabbing her hair.„NOONA omg I remember something!” „CANT THAT WAIT PLS? FOR GODS SAKE!” you said while trying to cover yourself.„No cause I remember some names and i will forget them if i don’t tell you now!”you knew it was important so u said:„alright turn around cover your eyes and give me the towel and tell me.” „alright, so what I can remember is someone’s name was sugar i guess? and then Cookie, hope, jimmy, tea, worldwide something and something with monster. I’m 100% sure that my hook up was the monster but he told me his real name but i kinda stuck with Moon and joon something in between but i lend him my phone, i dont even know why!”You looked at her with a confused glance and said: "wait he used ur phone??? GO AND GET IT HURRY! “ „why whats the matter?” asked your now confused friend. „idiot he could’ve gave you his number or he took a picture now go and get that damn thing already !” your best friend rushed to her room and searched for her phone after finally getting it she couldn’t believe her eyes when she unlocked her phone. She found a blurry picture of herself with her hook up but she couldn’t recognize him. You run with your towel around yourself towards her.„And??? did u find something suspicious?” „well yeah this strange picture and well a unknown number on whatsapp wait a sec the initials are RM" Said (Y/bfs/N) with shocked face.„ I guess we found your hook up, write him something” you said nervous cause it was the only way to find that mysterious man from last night. So (Y/bfs/N) wrote a simply : Hey are you that guy from the new years eve party?”You both waited and waited for so long that you couldn’t wait any longer. „You now what crazy is when you have a simply 1 % chance to find maybe the love of your life with the help of a total stranger who maybe don’t even know him...” you said with all lost of hope. „wait noona he will write back i know it! HE WILL”
You put on your black ripped jeans, with your black low vans, and oversized wine red hoodie and walked to your closet where your black jeans jacked was hanging. „ I will never find him, sooner or later i’m going to forget him anyway so who cares.” „where you going?” asked your bestie while starring at her phone. „I’ll need some fresh air that’s all, be right back bye.”
You walked out of your house heading to the city. It was cold and yet the sun was shining. You needed something to eat and get yourself some coffee, so you decided to enter the Starbucks coffee shop. You ordered a english breakfast with a latte macchiato for on the way. You sat down on a settle and ate your little breakfast as soon as you finished you stood up and walked along the streets. You saw a Shop for Artists, they sell utensils for paintings you didn’t know what it was but you had a strange feeling that you needed to enter this shop, as your life would depend on it. Your heart started to race as you would know that something or someone was in there.„Strange maybe i see something i need too finish my drawing at home.” you said yourself. As you entered the shop a familiar smell of paint got into your nose, kinda feels like home. You walked up to the acrylic colors and crash into someone who was taller then you. „oh i’m sorry my bad, here let me help you!” said the stranger lending you his hand. „this voice wait it sounds familiar to me.” You thought yourself right after that you looked up to him he had a kind smile on his face and honey tanned skin with a black headband, black jeans and black long sleeved shirt.
Tumblr media
„No it was my fault, should’ve watched my steps.” He disagreed and helped you to grab all your stuff that fell on the ground.„Thank you..-“ „V” he replied fast.„V? wait that actually can’t be your full name.” you said with a suspicious look. „yeah you right it’s not my real name but you could not pronounce it.” he replied with a smirk.„ oh yeah let me try it then.” He took a piece of paper and wrote his name down so you could pronounce it.„Kim Taehyung, what a beautiful name.” He looked at you with a very surprised face and said:„ well thank you but wow you could pronounce it perfectly, what’s your name?” „Y/N Y/L but I know that’s going to sound a bit weird but did we’ve met before?”„ actually we did at the party you remember?” „well now as you mentioned it yeah the only thing i could truly remember was that beautiful boxy smile.” As soon as you said those words you started to realize what you’ve just said and started to blush but you weren’t the only one. Taehyung touched his neck and looked on the floor while blushing like a little shy boy. You both talked for hours and drank hot chocolate in the Artist shop. You talked about so much that you didn’t realize it was almost 4 o’clock, you’ve spend almost 4 hours just talking with him. You phone buzzed multiple times so you looked at it and saw the 20 missed calls of your best friend it must be very important if she calls so much times. „Is everything okey?” Tae asked. „yeah it’s just my best friend called me multiple times and i’m worrying right know that something might happened.” he put his hand on yours and told you that you should go home and look after her. as soons as you agreed you both stood up put on your jackets and walked to the exit as Tae paid both hot chocolates. You both stared at each other like it could last forever and walked to the bus station. „It was very fun to see you again i wouldn’t mind if we can meet each-other like that again what do you think?” You couldn’t believe what you just have heard you felt a strange but familiar feeling in your stomach. „Of course we can i would love to” shortly after that he gave u a hug and before you could even react to it you noticed the bus that was waiting for you to enter. „I need to goo, thank you Taehyung for this amazing day I’ve never had so much fun in a long time!” Before he could even respond and ask your number you got pushed in by other passengers that almost missed the bus. He waved goodbye and said to himself:„No Y/N i thank you that we’ve met each other.”
—————————————————————
You just have arrived at home and as soon you opened your door (Y/Bfs/N) stood in-front of you with wide eyes. „Noona omg you finally here RM wrote me back and thats not his real name btw its Rap Monster well actually its Namjoon but anyway you never going to believe me what i’m going to say to you.”
You rushed upstairs with your bestie put on some comfy clothes and sat on your bed.
„It doesn’t matter what it is I have something better so-“ „NO NOONA YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!” you looked at her tried to calm her down. “Look Y/N remember yesterday at the bus station we saw the 7 handsome men dancing on the tv?” you nodded.„well guess Rm is that guy from that BTS video, the one with the greenish hair and he knows the name of your mystery man it is V-“ „Taehyung” you said sharply after her. „Taehyung?” you bestie said with confused look. „Yeah V is just a nickname and Guess what i met him at the artist store today! we talked and drank Chocolate, wow why didn’t I recognize him when I saw him at the party?”
„Anyway he send me that picture just 5 min ago and look its your boy V.” You took your besties phone and couldn’t believe what you saw. It’s him.„Okey Namjoon invited me to a concert of them and he said I could bring someone with me that means you could see V again! isn’t that nice?! “ „Thats great cause I don’t have his number and its better if you wouldn’t ask RM cause i think its better that way.” you said with a smirk on your face.
RM continued to write the date of the concert and all the infos. You were laying on your bed an thought about the amazing day, You knew from the beginning that you would see him again even if you weren’t 100% sure. „Maybe we really never forget someone after we’ve met once.” Afterwards you fall in a deep sleep and dreamed about V.
That was Chapter 2 Hope you liked it!
