Isekai-ed into Hawk's Life

Hawks x gn!winged!Reader

Warnings: ⚠️ Death!(at very beginning, it is an isekai), mentions of death throughout, some angst(??maybe not yet??), slight cursing

THIS WILL NOT FOLLOW A SPECIFIC TIMELINE IN THE MANGA

(so sorry i just, love, love, the idea of having wings)

(this is all my art, it is on IG, im just too embarrassed for people who know me irl to potentially find this xD Even though none of them have tumblr 👀 if you somehow recognize it...props to you?)

_________________________________

tbh, I can’t decide if I want this to have more than 1 part.

Word count: ~1,800

_________________________________

You were on your way home from a long evening at your part time job. Before that you had already taken 2 finals that morning too.

You dragged your feet, exhausted, as you headed towards the crosswalk. Stopping at the edge as the traffic light turned green, you decided to pull out your phone and decided to watch a speed paint from your favorite artist who recently released a new video.

It just so happened it was a Hawks speed paint 👀

The light turned red and you slipped your phone into your pocket as your started to make your way across the street

little did you know this would be the last time you'd cross the street

A wild driver came barreling down the road, no regards for civilians or traffic lights, probably drunk or high or just someone out for blood.

You stood there like a deer caught in headlights as your life flashes before your eyes

You can barely comprehend what's happening as you felt pain engulf your body and suddenly you were unconscious

________________________________________

Keigo tiredly stumbled into his large apartment, kicking off his shoes and shrugging his jacket off by the door

He wants nothing more than to just flop down and pass out. The HPSC has been giving him hell lately about god knows what.

He let out a long sigh and headed towards the bathroom to do his nightly routine

As he finishes up, he drags his feet towards his bed and flops down face first into the comfort of his pillow and sheets

Keigo falls asleep almost instantly after getting into a comfortable position, worn out from a long day of work

What he wasn't expecting was a loud "thud!" coming from the main room. He jolts up from his bed, feathers ready to attack.

*******

Reader's pov(?)

*******

You groaned as you hit the floor. Your head was spinning and it feels like a truck just hit you

oh wait...

You suddenly became more alert, looking around in a panic, expecting to either be on the road and injured or in a hospital of sorts. What you didn't expect was a wooden floor inside of a random apartment.

You felt around your body for any signs of injury, but all you found were a set of wings on your back- wings?? Hold up. Why did you feel wings what kind of sick joke was this?

Your thoughts were racing as your breathing picked up. What was happening? Didn't you just get hit by a vehicle? Why are there wings in your back? Where are you even?

Feeling around in your pockets, you found your phone and whipped it out, trying for anything. You turned it on, the harsh light of it illuminating your face, you tried to send a text to your best friend, but alas, it wouldn't go through. Actually nothing on your phone seemed to work. You checked your location settings, for some reason it said Musutafu, Japan.

Wasn't....Wasn't that the location that most of Boku no Hero Academia took place?? This can't be right, this has to be a dream right? There's no way that you could have actually ended up here unless...

Then it hit you.

You read your fair share of isekai series back when you were alive in your realm. Mostly manhwas of characters getting reborn into another person's body, but, never actually reincarnating as yourself into another world.

That was the only thing you could think of. You must have been reincarnated into the Boku no Hero Academia world. Except as yourself.

In all honesty, this is not how you thought you'd go out. You didn't know what to expect after death, but this definitely wasn't it. After all, this was a fictional setting, wasn't it?

Well, not anymore because now you're living in it! Smh.

That would also probably explain the wings on your back. This was you now. You have a bird quirk.

Now, all you have to do, is figure out where the heck you are.

Just as you are about to stand up, feathers zip towards you, pinning you to the ground

You hear footsteps begin to come towards you. You don't know if you should be scared for your life considering you've already died once or ecstatic because, you knew for a fact, this could be none other than Hawks' apartment.

The winged hero finally emerges and stares down at you, crossing his arms over his chest.

He says in a low, gravely voice from sleep, "Who are you, and how did you get into my home?" You stare back up at him and nervously chuckle.

"I'm not sure you'd believe me if I told you." You nervously sigh out.

"Try me." He demands, sounding a little more irritated now. You sigh in defeat and start to explain your situation.

"Do...do you know what an isekai is?" You said sheepishly while turning your gaze away from his. He kind of gave you a confused head tilt and just a vibe that said “No”. You sigh again and explain it to the best of your ability. Hawks becomes more and more interested and confused as you talk, but nods a long slowly.

“So...you were reborn here, but as yourself? Wait- does that mean you died before!?” He asked, disbelief and fear ran through his eyes. You looked at him in bitter amusement.

“Apparently I did. The last thing I remember of my world was getting hit by some truck or car. The dude clearly did not know how to drive. I had the right of way I was pretty sure at least. I mean, the light was red, usually that means pedestrians can cross the street? And plus he was going wayyy over the speed limit,” you begin to ramble on, the reality of actually dying setting into you. Hawks noticed the panic beginning to set into you and released you from his feathers. He crouched down next to you and grabbed your shoulders gently.

"Hey, hey, hey, look at me, you're ok now, right? You're here, and not dying in the middle of the street still. You're here. In Musutafu," he said trying to calm you back to reality. Well, what was your new reality. Your mind was racing. Trying to put together a coherent thought.

You look up to him, with a panicked look still in your eyes, thoughts started to come out of your mouth as your brain was trying to catch up with the situation. "I'm... I'm in Boku no Hero Academia and, and you’re Keigo... standing... right in front of me..I have wings. I have wings? Jeezus I have fucking wings. And I’m dead in my own world. I don’t know anyone, well, wait, technically, I do know people, just-Oh gods! I’m so sorry, that name slipped out! I- I, I’m really sorry Hawks." Even in your wild state, you noticed Hawks tense up at the sound of being called Keigo by a total stranger, and were able to get out an apology. That was progress? You were slowly coming back to reality.

Hawks froze up a bit at the sound of hearing his real name mentioned. At first he wasn't sure if he believed your tale of the isekai situation, but after this he might have to reconsider it. He opted to shake off that weird feeling for now and focus on different matters.

" I-I don't know what I'm supposed to do now? I have nowhere to go or to stay. I'm in a whole different freaking universe! My phone doesn't even hardly work here. And I have a pair of wings on my back!" You puffed them out angrily. Hawks glanced behind you and his eyes widened a little. You in fact, did have a set of bird wings. Kind of owl like wings. Not near as big as Hawks', but definitely big enough to fly you around.

Before Hawks could process the words coming out of his mouth, he was already asking you, "Would you maybe like to stay with me? I can help with your quirk too." He glanced away awkwardly. You looked towards him in disbelief.

"Dude, are you sure? We literally just met like 10 minutes ago? I mean, I'm all for it, I have nowhere else to turn to, but if you really really don't want me here, I will politely step out of your life." You so badly wanted to accept his offer on the spot, but being the considerate, mostly sensible human you were, you gave him the option to back out. Hawks shook his head.

"No, no, it's alright. You can crash here. Uh- I mean- stay here! Sorry!" You giggled at his comment.

"Well thank you very much!"

"It's all good. I have a spare bedroom you can occupy for the time being. I'll give you some clothes to sleep in that'll hopefully fit. Accidentally bought a couple things in the wrong size without looking. " (a/n: just...just assume its your size, or oversized, whatever's comfy idk) He jumped up and headed towards his room to grab you the clothes. You still sat on the floor. Still amazed at everything that was occurring.

Hawks walked back into the room and tossed you the clothes. "Hey uh, you know, you can get up now, sorry for holding you down earlier.."

You blushed and scrambled to stand up, "Oh no! It's ok! I understand. This would definitely warrant that kind of action. Some random stranger crashes into your apartment at like 1am. I completely understand. Honest."

He let out a small laugh and wearily brushed his fingers through his hair. The adrenaline of everything finally wearing off. He could feel the tiredness setting into his aching muscles again. “Ah, well, I’m going to head to bed now. The room is down the hall at the very end that you can stay in. I’ll take you out training tomorrow evening if that’s alright?”

You gave a nod of understanding and followed him down the hallway. “Goodnight Hawks,” you sang as he walked into his bedroom. He gave a hum of acknowledgment and closed his door.

Making it into what was now your room, you changed out of your clothes so fast, eager to rid yourself of the past hours events.

Not gonna lie, you could not figure out how to properly get your new wings into the shirt, even with the holes and snaps in the back. Your mind was too exhausted to even process this new skill. So you ended up going to bed without the shirt on and just settled for putting the sweatpants on.

You figured it’d be good to just pass out asap. You were sure if you tried to recount the recent events, you’d spiral into a panicked mess.

You shut your eyes tightly, willing yourself to sleep, trying to only think of positive outcomes for the future. But to be honest, you didn’t know enough about anything in this realm to think rationally about anything good.

I'm from a different dimension actually Chapter 6 Damian x reader

Professor X sat in his wheelchair glancing around the room he hums his eyes pouring over all that there was finally landing on Robin. He gives me a look gesturing over at him.

"He informed me about The Crows sir, apparently they have gone under the radar, they've killed three people and the system didn't go off. At first, I thought we still had time, I treated a wound he had it he had come in contact with one and fought it. You know like how Wolverine did, I treated the cut and it's gone, but I was sure they were still in the dream state. But he got injured saving those left how survived probably not far from here, but the fact we didn't even receive the ring can only mean...they've returned under complete control again."

Concern fills the face of professor X, he turns to Robin, who shifts uncomfortably by the entrance of my kitchen. "Who are you then?"

"Robin."

The professor nods not even turning from his spot, he looks over Robin as if completing an inspection.

"How much does this Robin Know Dreki, about you, and The Crows?"

"I told him about the Jal-sein, the old race before the collective mind sharing, and he knows about my box of scales." Professor sighs.

"How did you meet him."

"When he broke through my window last week, infected."

"You gave him some scales to purge poison."

"Yes sir."

"Very good," He moves back to his original spot in the middle of the room. "You have been permitted to stop them at all costs if you must. Your uncle will be here soon to help you kill whatever has brought them back, in the meantime try not to use the stones. We don't want to attract more trouble than what has already been done."

"You're allowing me to put my powers to use?"

"As long as you don't wear it out, vibranium is not easy to turn into clothing."

"What a minute!" Robin's voice carried out through the room. "Just what's going on?"

"Robin," Professor X starts. "your world is being invaded by the Crow so that you become one of the many planets they have drained of life. And to do it they need a vessel that can contain the leader of the Jal-sein, Hok'mor." Professor X looks at him, his use

"And?" Robin says his face remaining unreadable

"I was the vessel, I escaped, destroyed the flagship and the army they had." I shiver moving out from my room to the box still lying on the kitchen table. "They were after the life of my home, so then I became a weapon for my planet." I pull out a bag of coins from the box.

"And what do you intend to do now (Y/N), destroy them yourself." Robin stands in the entryway, professor X stands behind him.

"Yes," I turn to him a chakram and the bag of coins in hand. "so unless you know how to obliterate a bird in 15 seconds or less you need to forget this ever happened and never come back."

"So, why tell me any of this, why tell me about anything why expose yourself?"

"So you can tell your family and friends and hopefully, just maybe you can survive. Because knowing them keeps them out of your head, but too much knowing allows them to enter." I pick up Nightmare, he crawls up to my shoulder and I head out of the kitchen, Robin makes room for me but just barely. I open my closet and pull out the last thing I have, two letters one written in my mother's signature ink and the other in my own handwriting, I hold them out to the professor.

"You know there is nowhere left for me to run professor if I end out getting caught...I just want him to have this. In my letter, papers are containing the custody terms for my brother to Uncle. I just need you to grab them to complete the transfer." Professor X slowly takes the letters where they rematerialize on his side.

"Good-bye Dreki, I will see that these get to your Brother."

Professor fades out of the com, and it clicks turning off, I pick it off the floor and slip it into the pocket of my sweatpants. I pulled out the chakram ready to leave a mark on my hand, I only needed a little bit of blood to completely transform when Robin coughs gaining my attention. He leans against the wall to the left of me now glaring at my form, Nightmare growls at the boy from the corner of my eye I see his fangs getting slightly bigger.

"Are you making it a habit to ignore me while I'm here?"

"No, But I do need you to leave, you can't stay here anymore." I begin to push him out the door in the kitchen, he slaps my hands away confusion leaving his face replacing it's with anger. He open's his mouth and I put a magic orange circle on his head.

"You Robin son of batman, found this information interrogating one of the monsters. It spoke in a language that was foreign but somehow understood all of it. You have made no such connection to the girl Y/N M/N, you did not see a man from another dimension, you came back to thank her for her help you had some tea and you were just leaving." I flick my hand and the circle vanishes, his head lowers for a moment as the information in his head readjusts. He moves to the balcony edge turning to face me the scowl returned to his face.

"Thank you for the tea." he pulls out a grappling hook and leaves without another word. I sigh moving to the same device I used to contact the professor. Picking it up I hold it to my mouth.

"Find me the closest thing to a sorcerer supreme, name and whereabouts contact them when you get there."

I toss it back onto the floor and it roars to life to give me a purple image of the earth and orange magic circles to tracking and moving. I move to my couch and fall asleep waiting for this day to take me.

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

I wake the next day with the globe still searching for my request I sigh and get ready for work. I thank god that it's just the coffee shop below me, I work on the weekends mostly unless they need an extra member of staff then it's just me and the older lady and her husband. They both owned the building and the shop they helped me get the apartment set up and showed me how to work the coffee machines. I don't really drink coffee though after seeing what a raving maniac my dad became without it, also it was just so bitter no matter how much sugar I put into it. I partially blame my heightened scenes that came with my abilities, so I got free white hot chocolates and any extra flavors I wanted as long as I did my job and chatted with them for a while.

I asked them personally to stay away while I was sick, so they wouldn't be affected. When I get down the stairs Martha, the elderly lady beams thankful that I'm feeling better.

"I so glad you are doing well dear, I know the acidity in our rain makes you sick so Glenn and I got you this umbrella." She hands me a purple umbrella that still has a tag on it, it reads for sun and rain.

"You didn't have to do this Martha, I told you I'm not good with gifts, you already let me stay here on the government's program and gave me a job here, you and Glenn have already done so much." She pushes the umbrella farther into my chest.

"No you do so much for us, you work without complaint, you've also taken care of us and our granddaughter when she came over. When you were sick we were so worried about you so you going to take it or I can give you more gifts."

"Thank you very much."I smile brightly. She pats my shoulder and gestures to the counter to start the machines.

Once all the machines are started, the desserts are placed and the base coffees are made I open shop. Customers come in and some lounge around in the chairs or couches drinking coffees and either studying or chatting with their friends. Molly usually comes on Sunday as one of our regulars, so I would see her then. A few of our regulars are happy to see I'm back at work one of the other tenants gave me a green bean casserole and a hug. It's 5 O'clock and I make a cappuccino as I finish I hear the door open and the bell ring on the counter.

The black-haired blue-eyed male I had gotten to know as detective Richard Grayson, came in every other day at 5, he normally talks often while I tried to take his order. So I memorized what he usually gets so he doesn't block the register so I can still make the register.

"Hey Y/N I'll take the usual."

"I thought so," I hand him his drink " one cappuccino."

He takes his coffee and moves to the bar we have set up if you wanted to watch the process and it's only then I see the other people behind him, one pissed-off looking male with a cigarette in his mouth, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne. I look back to Richard he smiles at me leaning onto the bar.

"They came with me this time, It's family bonding time."

"You mean you dragged us out of the house to grab a coffee from this place cause you have a schedule."

"It's bonding Jason! Bonding!"

The two began arguing in the shop, I return my attention to the other two boys. Tim as at the counter puts a ten-dollar bill on the counter, while Damian does the same.

"Give me a regular coffee, black, large cup."

"Tea, no sugar, regular size."

Their voices crowed each other but since this happens frequently it was easy enough to at least get their orders down.

"Sure here's your change." I look back to the two arguing and I see Jason didn't put out his cigarette. He taps it and the ash of his drug falls to the floor.

Sighing I move out of the workspace gabbing a tong and a wastebasket, I take out the cigarette and throw it in the bin now gaining the full attention of Jason. I give him a stern look he seemed to freeze, bitting back any words he might have prepared to say before.

"Sir, I am not sure if I made we've previously made It but there is a strict no smoking policy. As you see we have many elderly, and young children in our establishment." I smile but I know my face is full of malice. "But please enjoy your stay at our cozy corner of our fine and fair city." I move back behind the counter start on some of my orders, I look at Jason again the smile still on my face.

"Would you like anything?" He gives me an odd look.

"White hot chocolate, Large," he nods his head over at Richard. "Put it on his tab."

"We don't have a tabs sir, he works for the police."

"So?"

"He gets Free coffee." He gawks at me as if I told him the sky was black, and I see Richard trying to contain his laughter.

"You give that guy free coffee?"

"It's a store policy." I pass out the coffee and the tea and I see from the corner of my eye he pulls out a flask. I grab the tongs again and clap them together, Jason looks at me then grumbles putting the flask back in his jacket, and instead pulls out a five and hands it to me. I take it from him gingerly and head straight to work on his order. I hand him both his spare change and his drink, and the complimentary cookie bag that came with it. He gives me another look.

"They come with a drink." I leave and continued my chores around the shop.

"You are doing much better (m/n)." I whip my head around and look at Damian who's behind me on the other side of the counter. His companions seemed to be in deep conversation amongst themselves.

"Yes, I'm doing just fine, it happens occasionally but nothing like a good cup of tea and a few nights rest couldn't fix." I go back to cleaning the counter.

"You were sick for much longer than that."

"Yeah...it happens." I change the topic to "Did you think of anything for the project?"

"Why not make a model, there is not really much to do with it anyway." I gasp dramatically.

"Not much to do with an astrolabe! You clearly didn't read the whole paper!" By now I have caught the attention of his group. Damian frowns.

"No, your paper was written very well, I just don't think we need to dwell too much on this project seeing as how we really are not presenting." I had heard that bit from Molly.

"I suppose your right." I put away the cleaning supplies and turn back to him. "I'll get started on a model right away!"

"You will do no such thing." His voice is stern. "I will come back later and work on it with you," He moves his chair back and heads out the door.

His companions follow quickly after him and they say their goodbyes.

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

As promised, he came a few hours later right as my shift ended and another person came for the second half of the day. I moved the glowing tracker to my room so it wouldn't gather any extra attention.

"I have supplies, what is all of that?" my brows furrow staring at the bulging plastic bag in his hand while I turn the keys in my locks. opening the door.

"I wasn't sure if you were prepared." He moves to the door, my arm shoots in his way stopping him.

"I wouldn't go in quite yet."

"What?"

I put a finger to my lips and crouch slowly to the floor, I shake the key in my hand then slid them across the floor. A ball of black attacks the object just as it crosses the doorway. Nightmare attacks the keys rolling around and bitting.

"Ah yes, observe the feral kitten in his natural habitat." I walk inside the door beckoning Damian to follow. "I would beware he is an ankle bitter. You can set up in the living room I'll just drop this guy off in my room."

"Does he attack all the time?"

"He's been like that since I picked him up, I don't blame him he was born in a rough neighborhood." I set Nightmare on the bed next to the floating version of earth. "Watch it make sure it finishes." then head to the living room. Damian has all his stuff set out on the table. There was veneer, paper, paint, some nails, an Exacto knife, a hammer, and a bag of pipe cleaners.

"This looks like stuff to make a birdhouse," I try and pick up some of the wood that was on the table." you realize cardboard, scissors, and a sharpie would have been enough."

"And here I thought you like polished and neat projects."

"yeah, but even with cheap materials you can still create a masterpiece."

"You don't do anything nice for yourself self do you?"

"Dude the most expensive thing I own is a cat who attacks me." I sigh, I sketch out a design for the astrolabe. "Well, why don't you start on the Mater, I'll get to work on the plate for our side of America."

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

"3 hours of hard work and I got to say it's not bad." I hold the fished product, It's attached to a string of green yarn. "The calculations are down to point." I put it down, I clean up the mess that's on the floor of the living room.

"About the last time we saw each other, I'm sorry."

"It's fine, you probably knew about me from the news already, the big myste#wayne#scifi#damian#bruce#bats#fanfiction#xreader#characterxreader#jason todd#tim drake#character x reader#mxf#fxm#batboys#batboys x reader#Damianxreader#X reader#DC#Marvel#MarvelxReader#DCxreader#batfam#mutants#Damian Wayne x reader ry of the missing journals. So many interviews." I dump the trash in the kitchen, saying that last part mostly to my self.

"You forgive too easily."

"I'm not as forgiving as you think, honestly you view me too highly it that's what you believe. Would you like something before you leave?"

"No, but I have something for you before I go." I open the door to my room and let Nightmare out.

"Oh?" He's already at the door and pulls a shiny gold card from his pocket, he hands it to me.

"Father thought it would be good to meet you."

"Because I'm the daughter of a famous dead professor, is he going to ask about the journals too?"

"No, this is to apologize for my previous behavior."

"Oh," I take the card looking at it uneasily. "I don't think I can go to this, I don't do well at parties."

"Not a very good excuse." He smirks.

"I'll think about it." I push him out the door and give him the Astrolabe, closing the door slowly. " I'll see you at school."

I look at the card again, It's like the parties mom went to I knew them well. While some were nice, others were nice only in their face. I laugh slightly to myself, Molly already called me earlier telling me I was her plus one to the same thing. This was already suspicious enough as it is. I look at Nightmare who cocks his head at me.

"You think I should go, don't you?" the furball nods

"Fine. I was going to be forced into this anyway."

• I Love You •

Kakashi x Reader fluff

You're seated by the window with your back against the wall, watching the droplets of rain trickle down the glass, each droplet racing with the other. Ever since you were a kid, you've been so enthralled by the rain. Sitting by the window when it rained outside had always been a favourite pastime of yours, it fills you with such calmness. You look to your side to see Kakashi on the mattress, deep in sleep. He's laying on his back, one arm tucked behind his head and the other sprawled across his stomach. Silvery fringes of hair cover his eyes and his mouth is slightly parted. The demeanor on his face reflects the calmness within you. It took a while but he finally got used to keeping his mask off when he was in the house with you.He knew you liked it better.

You feel a strong urge to reach across and move the hair from over his eyes but he looks so beautiful that you don't want to disturb this masterpiece of a picture. So beautiful in fact that you're torn between watching him and the rain. You smile to yourself, feeling a warm rush of happiness fill you as you snuggle comfortably inside the blanket wrapped around you.

The storm outside is starting to intensify. You watch the big trees sway wildly from side to side in the foreground of a dark ashen sky. A flicker of lightning briefly illuminates the room, followed by a loud grumbling rumble. You see kakashi beginning to stir a little in his sleep. You watch his long eyelashes lift as he slowly opens his eyes and squints at the ceiling above him.

"Good, you're finally awake. You were missing out on the rain", you say, smiling at him.

"Mmm" he says groggily, turning to his side to face you.

God he looks so cute, you just wanna gobble him up.

"Come here", he says in a low husky purr, eyes still half closed. He sounds so sexy when he's sleepy.

He extends an arm towards you lazily, calling you to him. Keeping your blanket wrapped around you, you crawl your way by to the mattress and keep your hand on his, staring at his beautiful face that you can never get enough of.

With a sudden violent tug, he pulls you in and before you realise what's happening, you're on the mattress lying beside Kakashi, enveloped in his strong arms, your back to him. Even sleepy, the man's got a freakish amount of strength.

"Kakashi!", you rebuke, but the smile in your tone deceives you.

"Mmm" he says again, nuzzling into your neck.

You wriggle a little to loosen his grip, and turn to face him. He looks so peaceful. You reach across and move the strands of hair away from his eyes, tracing your fingers down his cheek and cupping his face. He opens his eyes slowly and looks at you.

"Hey", you say, stroking his cheek gently.

"Hey", he says back to you, turning his face to leave a soft kiss on your palm, before closing his eyes again. Your heart melts. You love this man in front of you so damn much. You want to tell him that, to scream it out to the entire world. But the two of you have still not said it out loud to each other yet. You love him and you know he loves you too but you also know that kakashi isn't good at verbally expressing his emotions and so, you want to give him his time and make sure he is comfortable. And you don't want to put him in a spot where he feels pressurised to say it to you unless he's ready to, by saying it to him first either. Sure, it'd be really nice to say it to him out loud and hear it back, but it doesn't matter that much. Your actions always speak louder than words and you both know in your hearts that you love each other.

You reach over to his hair again and stroke the satin soft wisps of hair on his head. He opens his eyes again and looks behind you towards the window. You watch him look at the rain. There's just such a calmness over his face whenever you're together like this, you feel glad for it.

The rain has progressed to a downpour now. You can hear the loud thumps of raindrops crashing down on every single obstacle that's in their way outside.

"Alright come on now, let's not miss out on this beautiful weather by sleeping", you say softly, hand still in his hair.

He looks back at you and laughs. "Alright, what do you wanna do?"

" Well", you say, " you could read to me."

It was a thing you and Kakashi had. It had been long since Kakashi introduced you to the other love of his life besides you, his Icha Icha books. And just like him, you developed a fondness towards them. Many a times the two of you would be snuggled up in bed, reading together. It was one of your favourite things to do. And then again sometimes, when either of you fell sick, you'd read out loud to the other.

" Sounds perfect to me", he smiles.

Keeping one arm still under your head, he turns away and lifts his other arm to reach across to the book kept on the other side and picks it up.

You snuggle closer to keep your head on kakashi's chest and he wraps his arm around your shoulder. He balances the book between his stomach and his bent leg and fumbles with the pages with his other hand, trying to find where you'd left off.

After a long while of fumbling around, he finally settles on a page, holding the book open with his hand and staring intently at it.

You look up at him and wait eagerly for him to finally start reading but he looks like he is lost in some thoughts. They probably are happy ones though because you see a hint of a subtle smile on his lips. You don't wanna interrupt whatever these happy train of thoughts that are making him smile is, so you wait.

Finally he turns his face towards you and looks at you, looking right into your eyes. The intensity of his gaze startles you.

"Y/n?"

You keep your gaze locked with his, waiting for him to finish his sentence.

A smile plays out across the corners of his mouth.

" I really love you..." He says, in a soft voice.

Your eyes widen. Did he just...??? Your heartbeat rises and a grin begins to form across your mouth as you try to process what your ears just heard.

".... Said Tristan", Kakashi adds flatly, looking back at the book and pretending to read out from it.

" KAKASHI!!???", you gasp aloud, apalled. You try to break away from his embrace, throwing several consecutive jabs at his arm, " YOU JERK!!!", you protest, sitting up now.

"I can't believe you'd-", you struggle to form words.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding!!!", He says between splits of roaring laughter, keeping the book aside and trying to pull you back in.

You narrow your eyes at him, shaking your head, but allow him to pull you down beside him again.

His laughter subsides into a smile as he cups your face, tracing his fingers along your mouth to smoothen out the frown on your face. "I'm sorry. I was just kidding", he says, his voice sincere now.

Your eyes soften. He takes your hand in his and places it over his chest, holding it there.

"But i do really love you, y/n. I really do. You know that, don't you?", He asks, squeezing your hand, all trace of humour gone from his voice now.

You feel your insides melt again. You almost feel yourself tearing up at the sincerty in his tone. You can't pretend to be mad anymore.

" Yes i do, kakashi...i know. And i love you too. I love you so much", You say, trying to keep your voice steady, trying to hold in the rush of emotions flowing through you. You feel so happy and overwhelmed at finally getting these words off your chest.

Kakashi's eyes glimmer, and he smiles a smile that only you can read. You've seen it too many times now. It's a smile ridden with so many emotions. Kakashi has always considered himself unworthy of love and even though you have stayed by him long enough for him to know how much you love him, he still struggles to grasp the reality that there's actually someone that loves him so much and that's why, whenever you do anything for him or say anything to him to express your love, you see that one look on his face. Of surprise and relief and gratitude, all jumbled up together. You don't like seeing that look on his face. You hate that he thinks he doesn't deserve your love because if there's anyone who deserves to be loved wholeheartedly, it's him.

And right now, seeing that look on his face breaks your heart.

You can't keep the teardrops from escaping anymore. As soon as you feel the first drop threaten to escape, you wrap your arms around kakashi's neck, pulling him into you and bury your face in the crook of his neck. You feel his arms tighten around your back and his chin digging into your shoulder as he hugs you back tighter.

You hold him tight, not an inch of empty space between your bodies. Tears are streaming down your face now but they're of both joy and pain. More joy than pain.

Your lift your face from his shoulder and bring it near his ear. Holding him tight, you whisper the words into his ear again, through tears and laughter.. " I love you, you big jerk".

La Boda

Memphis:

|Takes a gander around and straightens @MindYourPanties's jacket, flashing a grin @LaLolaDelores when I see her seated close, speaking low.| Did you see her, Chico? Beautiful doesn't cut it.

Lita:

•meets @AContraryRise and @MyArrowBends behind the curtain, giving each a kiss on the cheek, and speaking in hushed tones• Thank you. For this...y todo! •looks down at Gizmo in his little tie, giving his fuzzy cheek a kiss too. Then sets him down in the ground, keeping his leash in my hand so he can proudly trot out in front of us when the time comes to walk down the aisle•

Keanu:

Whoa! Excellent. -smirks- You know, people keep asking me if I’m back, and I haven’t really had an answer. But, now… -takes my time to look around the room before finally settling my eyes on @AFuerteRosa and @InTheHandsOFate- Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back! Now, before I get started, I wanted to impart some wisdom on you. The key to a great marriage is staying out of unnecessary arguments. -looks pointedly at @InTheHandsOFate- If she says 1 + 1 = 5, your answer is you’re absolutely correct. -shoots a wink to @AFuerteRosa then returns my attention the rest of the room- It’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun. So, without further ado… Who is giving this beautiful bride away? Please bring her closer.

Lita:

•takes a deep breath, smiling at both Madyx and Atticus as I hook my arm through each of theirs, my eyes first taking in the altar before locking with Memphis’ as I’m walked down the aisle, Gizmo trying to steal the show as he prances in front of us•

Madyx:

<grins, pride welling because our girl is about to have her moment, her day...long overdue and so much deserved, leaving the hand patting for Atticus, whispering as we approach the altar> You've got this, Bombacita. Tonight was just waiting for you to meet it. Fate.

Atticus:

-Taking the leash for Gizmo from Lita as we stop just shy of the alter. My eyes give @InTheHandsOFate the once over- We’re sure about this, right? Want me to cut him? -asshole laughs before Lita can tell me to fuck off- I KID! I KID. Keanu!! She is here and we’re giving her away!

Memphis:

|Watching as you took Gizmo's leash, I noticed his bow tie and your outfit, thinking how happy @AFuerteRosa was to see you in it before my gaze truly fell on hers. She was so breathtakingly beautiful.| Stunning, Cara Mia.. |I had to say it before @OnePlusOnEqual5 continued.|

Keanu:

-turns to address @InTheHandsOfFate, giving a nod, that smirk firmly in place- Now, for your intentions. Do you @InTheHandsOFate, take this woman to be your wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live and beyond? No matter where your souls take you?

Memphis:

|Nodding once, I spoke aloud, probably louder than I should of but I wanted everyone to hear it.| Si, I do. |winks @AFuerteRosa, reaching out to tuck a strand of her hair back behind her ear. Needing to touch her in some way.|

Keanu:

That's good to hear. -Chuckles, turning to @AFuerteRosa- Do you, Lita, take this man to be your husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live and beyond? No matter where your souls take you?

Lita:

•instinctively leans into @InTheHandsOFate’s touch when he tucks my hair behind my ear, my whole body buzzing with excited energy, and speaking before @OnePlusOnEqual5 finishes his sentence• Si. •shoots Keanu an apologetic look and laughs• I mean...I do.

Keanu:

-Chuckling again at your excitement, I continue and motion between you and @InTheHandsOFate- I understand that the bride and groom have requested to speak their own vows. Memphis, you may go first.

Memphis:

|Turning to face @AFuerteRosa completely, I took in the sight of her and swallowed thickly. Today was the day we had been waiting for. It was finally here and as I took one last look at her in her dress, my eyes sweeping along the room at our friends, family, I felt frozen in time, rooted in the very spot I stood. This feeling, my heart racing and wanting to beat out of my chest? I relished it in her, in us..| Cara Mia, I promised you that today, we would share the lucky one status. I plan on keeping that promise but I wanted to let you know I struggled with the decision. Only because I look at you now and I can't phantom how I get to do this life with you. I won't start breaking promises today of all days but what I vow to you is this. I vow, to always enjoy your dancing around our kitchen. I vow, that I will always love seeing your hair do that swoop it does when you're really into it and you're smiling bright. I vow, that I will always, protect your kind heart, your colorful life and your beautiful soul. Our babies will know love, because of you. Because of the mama I already know you to be.. I would follow you anywhere, your light shines so bright in this world, the fact that I get to even catch a passing glimpse of the shooting star that is you, well.. I would wish for you every night for the rest of my life. And if your light were to burn out, I vow, to follow you into the dark. |Grabbing up your hand, I placed a small kiss to the back of it before dropping down, rubbing over your bump, our little nina.| I vow, to protect you too, to love and cherish you as your Papa. |Looks back up to @AFuerteRosa, grinning wide.|

Keanu:

-Looking between @InTheHandsOFate and @AFuerteRosa, I give a nod with a big grin.- Lita, please tell Memphis your vows.

Lita:

•narrows my eyes playfully at you when it sounds like you're going to try and claim today as your lucky day then letting out a little laugh when you assure me you're not going to break your promise. The laughing dying down as I listen to your words, tears building in my eyes, and blinking several times as a few stray tears slip down my face. And finally, gasping when you drop to your knees, the way you speak to our Little Jalapeno already causing my heart to swell. Not trusting my voice to speak when it's my turn, and clearing my throat a couple times before blowing out a slow breath• I should've gone first. •laughs• How am I supposed to follow that? •keeps my gaze locked with yours, becoming lost in those beautiful expressive brown eyes that I love so much, and finally beginning to speak again• Memphis, of all the people you’ve met on your journey, and all the places you’ve been, somehow and someway, you ended up here…with me. You always told me that we didn’t meet by chance. And I know now, without a doubt, that the uKniverse put you in front of me because we were meant to spend our lives together. You have filled my life with joy and have given me a sense of peace that I have never known. The purpose of my existence used to weigh heavily on my heart. But now, I am able to separate the two and experience pure joy. Every day is not just another day now that you’re in my life. I wake up excited and looking forward to what we will do next. You are my best friend, my biggest supporter, and the sexiest man a girl could ask for. •laughs again• And although today marks the start to the rest of our lives, I know that it will not be enough with you. A million lifetimes will never be enough, honestly. I vow to never take our time together for granted. And because there aren’t adequate words to truly describe my feelings for you, I also vow to spend the rest of my life showing you just how much I love you, mi cielo.

Memphis:

As I love you, Cara Mia.. |straightens back up, only to wipe those stray tears away with the pads of my thumbs, wanting to kiss you now but refrains, looking to @OnePlusOnEqual5|

Keanu:

-Grins.- At this time, please retrieve your rings. - Memphis, take Lita’s hand and place the ring on her finger. Repeat after me.. With this ring I, Memphis, take you, Lita, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us.

Memphis:

|smirks, taking @AFuerteRosa's hand and repeats it back word for word after receiving the ring box again from @MindYourPanties, slipping the ring on your finger.| With this ring I, Memphis, take you, Lita, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us. |twists the band once it's on @AFuerteRosa's finger, grinning wider at her.|

Keanu:

Good deal. -Nods before addressing @AFuerteRosa- Lita, take Memphis’ hand and repeat after me... With this ring I, Lita, take you, Memphis, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us.

Lita:

•chews my bottom lip nervously as I watch you slide the ring on to my finger, hoping the excitement of the people around us doesn’t distract Gizmo from his task. And as soon as all the attention is on me, I glance over my shoulder at @MyArrowBends and @AContraryRise•

Madyx:

<Strutting up with the pillow strategically placed in my scissorhands, about to set it down when the world starts moving in slow motion, the pillow flying out of my hands and I try to catch, but that doesn't happen either! Exhaling my relief when it lands sort of where it's supposed to, to my great relief, right side up, even. Playing it off with a grin and bringing my hand back down, and...shit! Leash. Cleanly severed...

Atticus:

-Catching Lita’s look, I think in excitement how she’s changed her mind she does want us to fillet him to smithereens! I whip out my blade in preparation when everything goes to shit. Mad and his scissor hands is fumbling with the pillow, but makes the best save ever. PHEW! However, he has saved me from releasing Gizmo by slicing right through the leash and wouldn’t you know the pup does exactly what he’s supposed to do, running right over and stopping at the pillow with his front paws on top.-

Lita:

•my eyes widening when @AContraryRise stumbles, watching the pillow tumbling through the air in slow motion as my heart jumps into my throat and I gasp out• Dios mio... •begins to step forward in an effort to help catch the pillow then stops short when it lands perfectly at the same time Gizmo lunges forward, placing his paws on the pillow just as I taught him, and gives a bark. Beaming at both @AContraryRise and @MyArrowBends over how perfectly that worked out before carefully squatting down next to Gizmo and freeing the ring from the little tie, patting Gizmo’s head• Muy bien, amor. •stands back up, turning to @InTheHandsOFate, and taking his hand• With this ring I, Lita, take you, Memphis, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us. •slides it all the way on your finger then smiles up at you•

Memphis:

|noticing the detail in the ring when you slide it on, your words ringing true as my heart swelled in my chest, that permanent grin was plastered on my face and I knew it wasn't going away anytime soon.| Te amo, Cara Mia. Te amo..

Keanu:

Now, if you would please, Memphis and Lita, please join hands. Look at these hands for they are of your closest friend. They are strong and full of love. As you join hands today, you make the promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever. -Nodding again, I look to you both- By special request of the bride. -turns to grab the two roses out of the vase and hands one to @InTheHandsOfFate and the other to @AFuerteRosa-

Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings. Which shall always be an outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect; and a public showing of your commitment to each other. You now have what remains the most honorable title, which may exist between a man and a woman - the title of "husband" and "wife." For your first gift as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose. In the past, the rose was considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant only one thing - it meant the words "I love you." So it is appropriate that for your first gift - as husband and wife - that gift would be a single rose. Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife. -waits for @InTheHandsOFate and @AFuerteRosa to exchange roses before speaking again-

Memphis:

|Takes the rose you offered with a big grin, immediately using it to stroke @AFuerteRosa's cheek once with the soft petals before I present it to her, just like I did that first night. I had stroked her cheek with that one then too and the memory was forever etched in my mind.|

Lita:

•laughs softly when those soft petals tickle my cheek, that same flush blooming as it did that first night, and accepting the rose at the same time you take the one from me, that brush of your fingers against mine when you do sending that familiar jolt through my body•

Keanu:

Beautiful, just beautiful. -Grins, bringing it all home.- In some ways it seems like you have not done anything at all. Just a moment ago you were holding one small rose - and now you are holding one small rose. In some ways, a marriage ceremony is like this. In some ways, tomorrow is going to seem no different than yesterday. But in fact today, just now, you both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life - one I hope you always remember - the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage. Memphis and Lita, where ever you make your home in the future - pick one very special location for roses; so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may take a rose to that spot both as a recommitment to your marriage - and a recommitment that this will be a marriage based upon love. In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words. It is easiest to hurt who we most love. It is easiest to be most hurt by who we most love. It might be difficult sometimes to find the words to say "I am sorry" or "I forgive you"; "I need you" or "I am hurting". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, leave a rose at that spot which both of you have selected - for that rose then says what matters most of all and should overpower all other things and all other words. That rose says the words: "I still love you." The other should accept this rose for the words which can not be found, and remember the love and hope that you both share today. Memphis and Lita, if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure. @InTheHandsOFate, @AFuerteRosa, It is with great honor and by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss your bride.

Memphis:

|Taking hold of your hand, I pull @AFuerteRosa into my embrace and kiss her with everything within me, pouring all that love I had for her into it before dipping her back with a chuckle, presenting her now to our friends and family.| We did it, Cara Mia.

Lita:

•practically skips into your arms and meets your lips eagerly, laughing into the kiss when you dip me back, and tucking a piece of hair behind my ear with my free hand when you present me to our guest, smiling proudly• I’m finally Mrs. Stone!

Prophecy

Chosen ch. 1 ch. 2 ch. 3

Blessed ch. 4

Decided to change the name, as I’m going to switch to other characters POV in a few chapters.

Nick Jakoby x OC

Words Count- 2,000

No warnings. She’s still doing the best she can for this silly boi to get his head out of his butt.

Jacinda checks the front window; still no vehicle. Is he working? Is his SUV further up his driveway? Grabbing her phone she texts Lu-

I've gone full blown stalker

Lu's fast reply-

it's not stalking it's research

Her sister is being supportive, but she doesn't need encouragement, she needs someone to tell her to get over him.

Jace-

Checking his front lawn every few minutes is not research. I think Mom was too 'encouraging' when he was over and made things weird.

Lu-

Or he's a cop and works

odd hours like being off on

Saturday and working Sunday

Jace-

The fact that you're logical doesn't mean you're right.

Lu-

Wait a couple days then find

a reason to talk to him

Jacinda resists the urge to throw her phone. Nick was a huge help the day before. He had accepted the invitation to eat with them after working so hard. His smile for Darius had been genuine, he was comfortable with the baby...but he had not shown interest in her. As much as she stared at him, she never made eye contact. And he had more or less bolted as soon as the truck was unloaded. Jace spoke her thoughts aloud, hoping she would stop acting like a child.

"He's a cop, he helps people. That's what he does." For the moment she resolves to ignore the fact that the orc she's been imagining for months is living next door. Also the possibility that he's not into her whatsoever.

He could still smell her. Nick is at a roadside stand. He doesn't know what he's looking at. But he would recognize her scent in a crowd of thousands without trying.

She laughed at my jokes This did not build up his hopes. Instead, it frustrates him. He can't stop reminding himself that she liked him. He actually needs a few things for this week. But he turns abruptly and stomps to his truck. Call him ridiculous, but he keeps pondering if she was disappointed he wasn't home today. She didn't think of you, she has no reason too.

From her job to her looks, she lives & belongs more to human society than Clan. She wouldn't date a Pure orc. Regardless of being Unblooded. Nick drives aimlessly, wasting time and gas until the sun is slanting down towards the horizon. If only he could talk with someone, but he was on his own. Nick despairs ever earning Ward's friendship. He learned to be cautious, every time he thought he was building a relationship he found he was terribly mistaken. Her father treated him with real respect and asked him to keep an eye on her. But he's a father trying to take care of his daughter. Nick is aware that not every city is as segregated as LA. Not every city is as racially divided as LA. But no matter the city, or how Orcs are treated; Orcs remain the same. Where ever Nick goes, he is on the outside.

Nick pulls his truck into the driveway behind the SUV. He gets out and stands for a moment; regarding the back of her house. He could say he didn't know how to fix one of the meals her mother gave him.

No, he would wait a day or two.

Be cautious. he reminds himself. If he doesn't hear from her in a couple of days, he'll know how she feels about him.

Wednesday trash day. Nick rolls his garbage to the end of the driveway. The trash collectors are turning on the street. He needs to leave if he's going to be at work on time. But her garbage isn't out. He assumed she must not be interested in seeing him again. After all, there was no sign of her since Saturday.

Why did it have to be a desperate move in his mind to be a good neighbor? He's just taking her trash cans to the road. He remembers her father, Joe asking him to keep an eye on her for him. At the time, Nick nodded, but Joe held his hand out and asked again. Nick understood Joe wanted Nick to make a promise, so he shook the other man's hand and said,

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her." Sighing, Nick walks across the yard to find her trash can.

"Where is Mommy's black wedge, honey?" Darius sucks on his pudgy hand while Jace holds two of the exact same shoe but in very different colors in her arms. She takes a few steps from her bed and realizes she is wearing said black wedge already.

Ugh. My first day going into Elf Town and I can't dress myself. Her first two days had been in the regular LA Office. It had gone decently, all things considered. Today she would be meeting with clients. Elf clients so she needs to dress to the nines. Jacinda hears the loud truck outside but she takes a moment for its purpose to register,

"Fuck the trash!" Jace runs as best as she is able in her wedges and skirt. She careens out the back door and reminds herself that she doesn't want her child's first word to be fuck. She needs to find a replacement.

"Where are the fucking cans?" She shouts to the empty backyard. The trash collection truck is at the end of her driveway. She spins to look, and there it is! The mechanical arm lifting the can up and emptying the can. As the machine sets the can down Jace rushes to the front of her house. Hope making her heart pound. Had Nick?!

His Police SUV is driving away from his house. In the opposite direction of the trash truck. She's sure he put her trash can by the road. Walking back around, her heart drops a little as it occurs to her this is the helpful thing a cop would do.

"Fuck. No, Damnit. Shucksiegoshdarnit? Ugghhh, fuck!" By the time she gets from the daycare to her firms ElfTown office she makes up her mind that whether Nick is into her or not, she is way too into him to not pursue him.

This is her fourth Wednesday in the house and yet again, her trash can isn't out. Nick had gotten Thursday evening dinner at her place the last few weeks because she insisted on a thank you. She also said she is glad to have a friend. Nick is certain it won't be long before other people come into her life, so he decides to take advantage while he could. She asked if he could help her with some of the heavy labor needed to fix up her lawn. They set the date for this Saturday, so Thursday dinner and Saturday all day with her and Darius. Nick trains his gaze at the ground to hide the fact that he's grinning like a fool as he walks towards her back yard.

"C'mon, c'mon. Look. LOOK! Ah, yes, there. Nope, not out." Jacinda stands in a spot where she hopes she isn't visible. However, she could see out the front window. She is dressed and ready to leave for the day. But she's waiting for Nick to come around the house for her trash cans. She notices that he hesitates.

Shit. He's sick of doing it. Oh! Wait! He is walking over, looking at the ground. She imagines he is berating her for not figuring out that trash day is the same fucking day every week. She'll have to find another excuse for talking to him, but today she is taking action. Her timing is perfect, coming out the back as he comes into view. She hopes her smile looks normal and not freakishly happy to see him.

They banter back and forth, she loves his sense of humor. She walks with him as he pushes the trash to the end of the driveway. Before he can walk away she does it. She suggests they go out to eat tomorrow night, rather than staying in. His ears twitch in shock, but he agrees! She's grateful for the trash truck covering her scent and the sound of her racing heart. She walks very deliberately to the house, otherwise, she might start skipping.

Nick needs to see if Jace could do dinner on another night of the week. The schedule is changing and he'll be working Thursday evening for a couple of weeks. Maybe it is safe to suggest they make this a regular thing. On Thursday afternoon she cancels. Little Dary is sick with a fever, she thinks he is teething, according to her text. Nick can read between the lines, she realizes going out to eat is too much like a date and doesn't know how else to let him down nicely. As he drives to the call for assistance, he wishes he could talk to Ward about this.

Not that Nick hadn't tried to be more than the guy in Ward's car. But Ward shuts him down fast, every time. Other rookies were well on their way to being respected and accepted by the other street cops. But Nick is still hazed by everyone, and Ward never looks or speaks to him unless it's necessary. Or if he is correcting Nick. Nick called him Daryl once, and the glare he got in return said everything Nick needed to know. Everyone calls him Jacoby, and no one calls him Officer.

He and Ward arrive on the scene, a couple of high teens that don't know how to calm down. Nick sighs heavily and gets out of the SUV. He'll grab some takeout on the way home.

She came early for Dary at daycare because of his fever. He's miserable, poor chubby boy. He looks like a pure orc; no hair at all, sweet yellow eyes, pointy ears and beautiful blue-green markings that resemble Jace's family. His nose slits are drippy, and he is drooling excessively. He is so hot to the touch! Jacinda calls her mother and gets some instructions. After that she texts Nick. Later she'll see if Nick is okay with picking up take out for them. She doesn't have a moment to feel bad for the missed date, Darius is such a handful that afternoon. She figures she & Nick would be back on track by next week. Finally, she gets Dary comfortable resting on her chest with his favorite lovey, and they both dozed off.

When she wakes up it is late enough Nick should have been over by now. Panic grabs her immediately-

What if something happened to him at work?!

She texts him.

Nick is just placing the leftovers from his takeout dinner in the fridge when his phone flashes.

Jace

Where are you?

Confused, Nick replies-

At my house, you said Dary is sick with a fever.

As soon as he hits send, Nicks' heart starts to pound. What if Dary is sick but she meant for him to come over for dinner still? Unfortunately, since he's a prick he made an assumption...and now he's eaten and she...she is calling him!

Fucking idiot! He takes a breath and answers.

"I meant to text you and ask you to pick something up, I'm so sorry Nick. He's usually so happy, but he's so miserable, -" Dary starting to fuss in the background. Within seconds, Dary is screeching in a way Nick has not heard before. The phone hangs up, whether Jace means to or not. Nick thinks for a moment, then he grabs the leftovers from the fridge and heads over.

He is still beating himself up hours later when he climbs into bed. She called him a good friend while she downed the leftovers and he held Dary. Hardly. He's so sure she is going to ditch him, he practically abandons her. They would never be more than friends, but he could at least be a good friend.

Shit, Jakoby, you're the asshat in this! You spend all this time wishing for friendship and it happens, what do you do?

He makes up his mind to stop assuming Jacinda is like everyone else. When she does start dating someone she would expect him to be a good friend and be happy for her. So Nick would do that. He rolls over and tries to sleep.
