not really a fan of the title, but I can't help but feel so RIDICULOUSLY endeared to the fact that both of Maisie's title songs are the first tracks for each of her studio albums. It makes me feel like she's creating a tradition, and I'm there with her while she does so. 💖

soft bf! aventurine headcanons <3 written with gender neutral reader in mind. fluff ! :) there is a small angsty part, but ends up fluffy ehe
let me know if you want more of this, a different character or a different (nsfw) version :3

Tumblr media
spoils you rotten. No matter how many times you tell him that it's absolutely unecessary, he insists. He wants you to have everything you want and everything you could possibly need. Pays attention to everything you say and follows every gaze of yours, keeping mental notes of what gift to give you next. At times, he makes gifts by himself. For example, writing 100 reasons why he loves you on pieces of paper that are in your favorite color(s) and putting them in a cute little box that he painted with his own hand. It may not be the best work, but you can truly see the effort <3 + he gets you flowers all the time !!!!!!!
kisseskisseskisses. As soon as he sees you - your face is plastered in countless kisses. He doesn't care if you are in public or not, he will always show you how much he loves you and give you affection. He loves kissing your hands, knuckles, your wrists. He has a habit of kissing the fingertip of your index finger and gently lifting it to your lips, pressing it softly. He also does it to his own fingertip at the times and pressing it on your lips. It's usually when the two of you are alone, simple way of sharing intimacy :3
touchy, feely, touchy, feely. His hands always find a way to be on your body. Either by holding your hand all the time, simply placing it on your lower back or resting it on your thigh when both of you are seated somewhere. If he can, he loves playing with your hair. In any case, he loves just softly running his fingertips on the back of your head.
loves to dance with you as well :3 it doesn't matter if you can't dance, he just loves to sway round and round with you, keeping your body close to his <3
gets you a matching earring <3 (with a clip, in case your ears aren't pierced) + matching rings <3
sometimes, he lets you pick his outfit. But, most of the time, he likes sending you photos and requesting your opinion about his outfit. As soon as you praise him or compliment him you will receive a message that contains 🥰 x 100
sometimes, he wonders are you ashamed of him. He is aware of the opinions of other people as well as the tattoo on his neck. He never hides it, but as soon as the two of you begin to date, he begins to wonder should he cover it up or keep this relationship a secret in case you wish to not "humiliate" yourself. As soon as you reassure him, telling him that you want this relationship to be public and that he could never bring you shame - he lights up. He was looking for the sun for so long and he finally found it in you. He will make sure to always remind you of that and express endless gratitude for being the way you are :)
I mentioned this before, but he is the type to kneel in front of you, gently hugging your legs as he kisses your thighs. It's a form of stress relief for him. Enjoying your skin being so close to him and you being his safe space <3
always leaves notes. If he is going somewhere, you will know either by a text message or by a hand-written note. He always adds a sweet message too - how much he loves you and how he will be thinking of you the entire time <3
loves when you read to him. He didn't exactly learn to write and read for some time (no jokes pls), nor had someone treat him as a child when he was one, therefore he finds you reading to him to be the epitome of safety and warmth as it gives his inner child great comfort :)
loves kids and is great with them! Anytime you go somewhere and for some reason or the other, a child approaches - he will make sure to make it an enjoyable time for them. Either by playing with them, treating them an ice cream or any other snacks or simply listening to their little rambles. He firmly believes that children deserve respect and a good treatment therefore he will always provide his best efforts to keep them happy even if it's for only 5 minutes :)
constantly praises you <3 He compliments everything about you and has genuine interest in anything that may be interesting to you. "If you like it - I love it!" is his main mantra. You will always be heard, always be taken seriously and always complimented and encouraged to be who you are and do what you love to do :)
he is an excellent listener. He may not always have the advice or the solution, but he will always listen to you and comfort you in his own ways. As I mentioned above - you will always be heard by him, no matter the topic at hand :)
he loves to sleep on your lap. It truly gives him so much comfort and warmth <3
he is always proud of you and very open about it. He proudly introduces you as his partner, he loves to switch topics that you enjoy so you can speak more if you'd so like. If you are more introverted, don't fret - he will do all the talk and manage all the conversations. He will also try to get yall home early, so you can recharge and rest <3
on that note, keeps your photos as his phone background. Even shows it to everyone, praises you to them and says that even when he is losing, he is actually the winner because he always goes home to you, his biggest supporter and his own sunshine which makes him the happiest and the luckiest man to ever be alive <3

Orange (Part 2)
wearer is willing to kiss
Tumblr media
Gwi-nam x f/Reader
Main Masterlist ♡ All Of Us Are Dead Masterlist ♡ Yoon Gwi-Nam Masterlist ♡ Jelly Bracelets Masterlist
Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.
Am I late to this fandom? Oh hell, yes, but the show was so good.
Warnings: Some swearing. Nothing sexual yet
WC:1126
Gifs & photos do not belong to me. 1st & 3rd @dramastream 2nd gif @soledadytorturainfinita
YN'S POV
The moment I stepped into the classroom, I muttered some lame excuse to the teacher about why I was late,
Jang-Mi looked at me, with her eyebrow raised. I just shrugged my shoulders at her, now trying to pay attention to the first twenty minutes of class that I missed.
But what happened outside kept me distracted. Gwi-nam pretty much demanding I wear the bracelets.
I could feel them under my jumper, burning a hole in my skin. When the teacher had her back to me, I quickly took them off.
Tumblr media
I placed them in my pocket, still wanting them close by. 'You should throw them away.' I thought to myself, but I knew deep down inside I didn't want to. I wanted, no needed to see how far this would go with him.
Would he get bored after snapping a few? Most likely. One thing I noticed with Gwi-nam was that he never finished anything. He would hyper-fixate on one thing and then quickly get bored of it.
Yes, I will see how far this goes.
~
"Why were you so late this morning?" Jang-Mi asked me as we walked towards our next lessons. We didn't have this one together.
"I slept through my alarm & figured if I was already late, there was no need to rush." I wanted to tell her what happened with Gwi-nam, but she would just tell Sun-Hee and I was in no mood to deal with either of their questions today.
"I also saw that you took off your bracelets today." She pointed out as stopped at my classroom first.
"I thought that Ms. Park saw them, so I didn't want any more demerit points taken off just in case she wanted to see my arm." That seemed to satisfy Jang-Mi for now.
I took my seat in the second row near the back of the class and got my notebook out, already taking the notes that were on the board.
I ignored the commotion that was around me. My classmates saying goodbye to their friends, acting like they will never see them again. One girl was crying in the corner with her friends around her.
This isn't the first time I have seen that happen in this school. For some reason, the guys seem to have a hold over the females here. I get that many of them are cute, but to cry in public over one? No, thank you.
I was so lost in writing out what was on the board that I didn't even see who sat behind me, but the moment I heard my name, I quickly turned in my chair to look into the eyes of Gwi-nam.
He usually sat on the opposite side of the room. "I told you to wear the bracelets."
"Now who has poor manners?" My eyes went wide when I heard myself say that.
A smirk came over his face as his own eyes scanned my face. I noticed that as his gaze went further down, his eyes stayed on my chest for a few moments, and then he focused his attention on my face.
"Hello, YN. Now answer my question."
I wanted to tell him to fuck off. That I didn't answer to him, but I found myself telling the same lie I told Jang-Mi.
I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't believe me, but he didn't say anything. "Put them back on. I want to see which one to snap next."
I looked around to make sure the teacher wasn't in the room and put the remaining fifteen back on and placed my arm across his desk.
He looked over the colours and was just about to open his mouth when the teacher walked in. I covered my arm and turned around, ready to get this lesson over with.
~
I was bored. So very bored as our teacher droned on and on. I became lost in my own thoughts again, trying to entertain myself, so I didn't die from boredom, that I didn't hear the movement behind me, but I sure as hell felt his breath next to my ear.
"Orange."
I knew what he meant. When snapped, the wearer is willing to kiss.
Now, I just have to wait for him to snap it, and that could be today or tomorrow.
~
I practically ran from the classroom to get to lunch. I was starving. I missed breakfast because I slept through my alarm.
I placed my books in my locker and went to close it when it was slammed closed.
That could only be one person.
Tumblr media
Gwi-nam's POV:
I watched as YN ran from the room. Didn't even bother to look back at me. I knew where she was headed, her locker, before she goes and meets her friends for lunch.
She was putting her books from her morning classes away in such a rush that had me confused. Usually, she is very organised, but not at this very moment.
I stood behind her just as she was about to close her locker when I slammed it closed.
"Gwi-nam, I am very hungry. Can this wait until after lunch?" She said as she turned around to look at me. I leaned down so only she could hear what I was saying.
"Arm." YN sighed and held up her arm. I pulled the sleeves of her jumper down and found the orange one. She didn't look away as I snapped the orange one and pocketed it just like I did the yellow one.
"A kiss is all I ask for." I tapped my cheek, indicating that is where I wanted the kiss. I leaned in even closer, my arms on either side of YN as I waited for her to kiss my cheek.
But she was close enough, I turned my head at the last moment, and our lips connected. I gripped the back of her head as she tried to pull away. Her struggling made me want to say fuck this little game and take her to empty room and fuck her.
But she did something that not only surprised me but also had me wanting more. YN stopped struggling and moaned into the kiss.
This one simple kiss that left us both breathless as we pulled away from one another. I took a step back and cupped her chin in my hand and squeezed.
"You better make sure I don't catch you without them." I left the threat hanging in the air as I turned my back to her and walked away.
She is probably wondering why she responded the way she did, but at this point, I have her exactly where I want her.

Hope Is A Dangerous Thing
Tumblr media
Pair: idol!Mingyu x f!reader
Genre: Good ‘ol, painful breakup
Summary: No one has ever loved you as much as Kim Mingyu does, and you've also always loved him back just as hard. So why wasn’t it enough?
Warnings: pain. Lots of it. Angst.
WC: 2.2k
Note: aaaah! First SVT work to be posted in publicever. The plot is admittedly cliché but i'm a suckerfor thess types of things and for anything sad and angsty. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
He heard the doorbell ring twice in his home, startled at the loud sound against the quiet night he was having just scanning through Instagram. Slowly getting up, Mingyu made his way to the main door to check who his unexpected guest was past midnight. The familiar frame of the girl he loved appearing through the peephole was enough indication and he swung open the big white door right away. But more than the unexpected visit, the look on your face was the bigger surprise.
You had been crying. Red nose, red eyes, tear stained cheeks, and a slightly swollen upper lip. Your small frame semeed to have drowned in a thick grey hoodie to shield you from the cold midnight breeze.
“Hi” you exhaled awkwardly, hands tucked deep into the pocket of your hoodie
“Babe” Mingyu immediately wrapped you in an embrace, concern laced in his voice but he also felt how you tensed up under his touch. “What’s wrong? You didn’t tell me you were coming”
“Yeah I’m sorry” you shakily responded, “can I come in?”
Mingyu found it weird how polite you were being, almost as if you hadn’t spent countless nights in his home. As he welcomed you in the living room, you took a seat on the armchair by the side even when he lead you to the bigger couch where he had been seated. To say he was confused would be an understatement, you were acting like a stranger to him.
“Babe, what’s wrong?” Mingyu prodded, bringing you back to reality as he sat closely across you and held your hands.
You didn’t know what to say and even though you tried to hold it in, another fat tear rolled down your cheek. Your vision blurred in an instant and your hands flew to cover your face as the crying started once again.
At this point, Mingyu was even more concerned. He pulled you in his arms, effortlessly lifting you onto his lap to cradle you as you cried. For once, you let go of all your rational thinking and buried your face into his chest, neither one of you caring that you’d wet his shirt. Your brain was racing a million thoughts an hour but you just wanted to be held close by him a few minutes more. Without knowing what’s going on, the raven haired boy simply held you close to him, his large hand rubbing your back up and down even if it actually just made you cry more.
“Babe...” Mingyu started slowly after a while, a pout now etched on his face “I know you probably don’t want to talk about it, but could you at least tell me what this is about? I’m getting so worried”
You shut your eyes tight, almost praying that Mingyu would think you had fallen asleep and didn’t hear him but even you knew that was impossible. Besides, though you did not want to talk about it, you needed to talk about it. That’s why you came here in the first place.
Inching away from your boyfriend to sit right beside him, your body facing his, you scanned his features: his week-old haircut, the mole on his nose, his chapped lips, the warm brown eyes that looked back at you with so much love and concern, those cheeks you loved to squeeze, and those soft pink lips that felt best against your own. You had taken many mental photos of your sweet boy in all your favourite moments with him, and though you were sure tonight wasn’t going to be a one of them, you still drank in all his little features, commiting every single one to memory.
You reached your hand up to his cheek, the pad of your thumb gently caressing the skin below it before you let out a heavy sigh as you eyes met his.
“You know I love you, right?” Your small voice squeaked with that little accent he was so used to hearing
Reaching up his own hand on his cheek to cover yours, Mingyu nodded and replied with a sad smile “of course I do”
“Then I’m gonna need you to listen to me okay?” You said as Mingyu’s grip on your hand tightened, as if saying yes to her
Swallowing a large lump on your throat, you took a quick glance at him before looking away, “Gyu...” you said in pain, “I need to let you go”
In that moment, Mingyu was pretty sure he felt his whole world stop, like everything just shut down. Literally. It’s like he went deaf yet still clearly heard what you said. He was hoping it was a mere glitch in the system, or that it was a joke, like it was magically April Fool’s day in the midst of September.
You stared back at Mingyu, a deathly silence overtaking the room as you waited for his answer. It took him so long to respond that you debated about repeating it again.
“No” Mingyu didn’t know how long it actually took him to say that, but he replied with enough conviction to make you snap your eyes towards him
“What?”
“No. I said no.” Mingyu repeated. If awhile ago, he thought you were acting like a stranger, this time he was sure of it. Was he just flung into an alternate universe? What the fuck was going on..
“Gyu..” you sighed heavily, “please don’t be like this” you said as another batch of tears started to blur your vision
“Be like what? Fight for our relationship?” He argued this time, he really didn’t want to raise his voice but a point had to be made. “You said you love me right?”
“Babe, please-“
“You said you love me, right?” He asked again, punctuating every word and wanting— no, needing to get a reply from you
“Yeah! I do!” You frustrated
If Mingyu was being honest, he had always feared this day. But if there was one thing Mingyu was good at, it was at staying positive. He always saw the silver lining at everything. Now this also meant that he was very good at being in denial.
“So why are you doing this? People who love each other don’t break up. They stay together, they work things out together! And we..” he looked at you, eyes pleading desperately, “We will do just that”
“Gyu, it’s not as easy as it seems”
“NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE!” Mingyu finally snapped, “BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE DON’T TRY”
“You think I didn’t try? You think we didn’t try? It’s all we’ve been doing!” You explained, recounting all the efforts you both poured out into the 14 month relationship. “But Gyu, this relationship will never go anywhere when so many people don’t want it in the first place. Your management won’t let you date, there will be fans who won’t agree with it, and my parents.. they don’t want me with you. Everyone is literally coming for us. I can only name two people who actually want us together: Wonwoo and my best friend who’s halfway across the world!”
“My other members would like you…” your boyfriend reasoned out
“Your other members don’t even know about me” you said in a pained voice that brought shame to Mingyu. Had the circumstances been different, he would’ve so loved for his brothers to meet you. He's sure you'd get along well. But he had experienced first hand how catastrophic it got when Jihoon's relationship was found out by management. The rest of them suffered too when it was discovered they had known about it all along and helped keep it a secret. He didn't want to inflict that same fate to his members if his relationship got exposed, so Mingyu always thought it better to just keep it to himself. Wonwoo only ever found out by mere accident.
“Why do we care what others think about our relationship? It’s just between you and I, not you, me, and everyone else”
“I know Gyu” you exhaled, “but truth is, with a job like yours, everyone else will keep intruding no matter what. I wish I didn’t care what they thought, but it kills me that you constantly have to sneak behind the members backs. It also eats me alive that no one in my family wants to talk to me. Yes, I’m happy with you, but I can’t be genuinely happy overall if there are people I’m hurting and-“
“Oh so you’d rather hurt me, is that it?” Mingyu deadpanned, “Cause surely it’s better to satisfy the fans and your family and my management at my cost. Right?”
“MINGYU, NO. It’s not like that. If there was a way that I could make everyone happy, especially you, then I would! But no matter how happy we will be with each other, we’ll still get hurt. We won’t truly be happy if we keep things in secret and keep sneaking away. It’s going to ruin us, Gyu. Your management will keep making it hard for you, my family won’t let you see me, we’ll have trolls hating on us every single day. We can only keep trying but if no one is going to support us, it will all be in vain.” You sobbed as you watched Mingyu’s shoulders slump in defeat, no words left to argue back.
He hated how right you were, how rational you still were despite this overflow of emotions. When your relationship started, you both knew just how many “rules” you were breaking but god, you both were just so in love and smitten with each other that you both just had give it a try. You both latched on to the hope that things would be okay. But hope has always been a dangerous thing, especially when it’s your only weapon in a battle you can’t win.
As you searched for any reaction from the boy in front of you, your most dreaded sight came to life: a tear rolling down Mingyu’s cheek. You immediately wiped it away with your thumb before forcing him to look at you. His eyes were now red and the frown on his face was making itself permanent.
"This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make, Gyu." You cried, "But I don't want it to reach a point where I have to choose between you or my family, or worse, to have you choose between me or your career. You've worked so hard to live your dreams and I'm not going to let you throw it all away for me"
“Is there no other way?” Mingyu sniffed, voice barely above a whisper as both his hands cupped your face
“I wish there was, my love. I wish there was.” You said as you wrapped him in a tight embrace. This time, really holding him tightly knowing it would be the last. “I’m sorry I have to do this but it’s for us. You deserve someone you can proudly show off to the world, Gyu.”
Bullshit, Mingyu thought. You are the girl he should be proudly showing off, if he was just allowed to.
The act of letting Mingyu go was like that of a knife stabbed into your heart only to be twisted a few more times for assurance. You were very much a blubbering mess. “I just hope whoever she is.. sh-she'll love you with allshe's got, a-and won't break your heart like- I am"
Mingyu’s grip around your waist had tightened, if that was even still possible. He buried his face on the crook of you neck and took in all of you, the woman he loved the most, the woman he never wanted to let go of but had to.
“I love you, Gyu. I love you so much” you sobbed hard, body convulsing as you let go of all the pent up feelings
“I love you too baby. I’ll never stop loving you.” Mingyu cried out, your heart breaking into the smallest pieces you knew could never be put back together again
In one quick move, Mingyu attached his lips to yours for the last time, a kiss so sweet yet so sad. You memorised how his lips moved against yours. You wanted to hold on for forever so bad. He was your happiness after all, your safe space, your home.
You both breathlessly pulled apart, tears never ceasing to run down your faces. Wiping your face, you quickly stood up and made your way to the door, wishing so desperately for the pain to be quick and easy.
“Please don’t go” Mingyu’s voice shook in a desperate sob when he caught you by the arm, in a last attempt to keep you by his side. You shut your eyes as your lips trembled. You did not want him to beg like this because it made everything a hundred times more difficult.
“Please baby.... just.. just stay one more night” Mingyu asked, a most desperate frown plastered on his face. With every tear that fell down his cheek, you felt your resolve break more
You turned to face him quickly for one more embrace while he planted a kiss on your forehead. You knew you had to go because staying a second longer would cause you to completely falter. With tears in your eyes, you gave him a tight squeeze and squirmed away from his grip, pushing him back.
“I’m sorry, Gyu” you said painfully, scurrying out his door with the tightest feeling in your chest. If you didn’t just know what you did, you would’ve suspected you were having a heart attack.
Mingyu felt his stomach drop by his feet. He watched his whole world walk away from him and he couldn’t do anything about it. He wanted to run after you, to tell you ‘screw the world, let’s just run away and be alone’ but he knew that was impossible, not when the both of you were at the peak of your respective careers and he especially had the whole world watching his. He knew it had been unfair, and he knew you never would’ve done it unless there was no other way, but he also knew you were right. That it had to be done. But how was he supposed to fall in love with someone else if that someone wasn’t you?

hii can you do where reader comes back home crying because of people at work making fun of her and saying bad stuff about her relationship with ney
of course lovely :)) thank you so much for your request !! I’m not sure if by “people at work” you meant her co-workers or customers but I just made it where the customers were being rude.
—————————
consequences / neymar jr
pairing : neymar x reader
Tumblr media
When I said yes to Neymar after he asked me be his girlfriend , I didn’t realize all the criticism it would come with.
We met at my job - a jewelry store. He had went in looking to buy a birthday gift for his mom , I just happened to be the only available employee.
I didn’t know who he was at first , until after he had asked for my number and left. My co-worker basically screamed once I told her and she revealed to me who he was.
And after that everything was history between us. He was the best boyfriend I could ever ask for , the best partner I could ever have.
He had his own way of loving , and it’s one of the main things that made fall for him so quickly.
He’s easily a charmer.
On our first couple of dates he would always surprise me with small gestures - flowers , books that I had mentioned I wanted, small jewelry pieces , and much more.
I would always protest and insist how he didn’t have to buy me any of that stuff - that those weren’t the reasons why I accepted to going out with him but he would always brush me off , saying how he wanted to give me all these things.
He showers me with compliments any chance he gets , making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
I also deeply enjoy his touchy side. Kisses everywhere - no matter where we are or what we’re doing. His hands somewhere on me at all times when we were together. He claims he can’t sleep properly through the night if I’m not there next to him - or wrapped in his arms.
But all that aside - he’s very attentive to me and my feelings.
He always makes my feelings valid , he always insists on talking everything out with me. I don’t think there was ever a time where he’s been unthoughtful towards me.
I was iffy at first - to open up to him about everything but he made me feel so welcome in his embrace , and I easily was able to tell him anything that would be wrong with me.
But today - that all changed. I had never dealt with hatred towards me like this before.
When me and Ney started our relationship I made it clear to him I still wanted to have a normal life - I didn’t want him to expose me to the media.
Sure he would post pictures of us , but none ever showing my face.
We thought we were safe up until 2 weeks ago when the paparazzi took a clear picture of me and ney outside his house.
I tried covering my face once I noticed the paparazzi but it was too late.
The media soon found out who I was through Neymars following - I made the stupid decision of not making my account private.
My co-worker had tagged me in a photo of a work party we had - also tagging the location. I’m guessing that’s how Ney’s die hard fans found my job.
Every day since then it was a lot more busy , people specifically requesting me to take their orders.
When the pictures got out to the public , Ney insisted I quit my job and just let him work for the both us - something he’s been trying to make me do for moths.
But me being me - I told him nothing about his fans going to my job and acted as if the paparazzi spotting us changed nothing in my life.
I now realize that was a stupid mistake.
Earlier today I was helping two girls who had walked in and came straight to me for assistance. One blonde and another brunette , both seeming to be around 16 or 17.
It was all going swell until the questions started.
“So Y/N - how did you manage to snatch Neymar all for yourself ?” The brunette asks.
“I don’t discuss my personal life with customers.” I tried to remain as calm as possible , giving them a small fake smile. This was the first time anyone had actually mentioned our relationship to me.
The brunette looks at her friend , turns back to me and laughs.
“No seriously - are you like a you know service girl of some sorts ?” The blonde asks me now, whispering the last part.
Is this what people think of me?
“Excuse me? I am not!” I fight back , trying to hold back any tears. I have no idea what to do or say.
“Come on , Neymar couldn’t have seriously chosen you for no reason - I mean just look at you. You don’t have much to offer.” The blonde continues , her eyes raking down my figure , gaze filled with disgust.
I shamefully look down. My hands start to shake and no words come out of my mouth.
The girls start to snicker to each other. I can’t make out all the words that their saying because of their low tone but I do hear the words -
“If I knew Neymar went for the first hooker he saw on the street I’d been on that street months ago.”
“Security ! Please escort there two girls out.” I finally get the courage to speak.
“What ? We haven’t done anything! We’re simply shopping for a pair of earrings.” The blonde says , putting on a fake voice.
I look up at our security - Marcus , me and him get along very well and he’s been very aware of all the fans coming in and out of the store.
I mouth a “please” to him , just wanting these girls gone as soon as possible.
“Ladies please do not make me drag you out of the store. The exit is that way.” Marcus firmly says.
The two girls look at me and roll their eyes before walking out of the store.
I grab all of my stuff from the back room and clock out , not caring to warn anyone about me leaving.
I get into my car and rush home. As soon as I step into the house I burst into tears , letting myself fall on the floor.
When I left the store I didn’t even check the time - 5 pm.
The exact time Neymar gets home from practice.
My mind was so fogged with everything that had just occurred I didn’t even have time to notice Neymar on the couch.
His eyes look up and meet mine. He rushes up off the couch and comes to my side.
“Amor what’s wrong ? Por que minha linda garota está chorando?” He softly says holding me in his arms. [why is my pretty girl crying ?]
I’m so dumb. I should have went to my friends house or something instead of coming here. The last thing I wanted was to tell Neymar about the humiliating things they told me at work.
I bring my hands up to my face and wipe my tears off , trying to get out of his tight grasp.
“It’s nothing Ney , I’m fine.”
“Y/N everything is obviously not fine. I’m not letting you go until you tell me what is wrong.”
“I’m serious querido , everything is fine.” I try to get the words out and put a smile on my face but my tears betray me.
My thoughts going back to what those girls said of me , making me cry ever harder.
“Look at me” he whispers.
I look up into his eyes , my vision blurry with tears.
“Take your time amor. I’ll wait here for you to tell me what is wrong , you know I am always here for you. What ever it is you are going thru I won’t leave your side.”
He won’t budge , and it’s no use to keep it in , im sure those girls will upload the conversation we had to the media and Ney will find out one way or another.
“These - these -” I try to get out but more tears end up falling.
“Breathe amor breathe , I’m here for you , I’m right here.” He whispers , kissing my temple.
I take in a deep breath and finally calm myself. Ready to tell Neymar everything that had been happening.
“Ever since the pictures got leaked there’s been more and more customers coming into the store , specifically requesting me to take their orders - I’m sure you can figure out why. Everything was fine tho , no one asked any questions just eyed me a lot and looked very excited to be assisted by me. Until today - these two girls came in and told me the most horrible things.”
I can tell he’s bothered by me not telling him about the customers coming in but I continue before he has a chance to scold me about that.
“They asked me -”
“God. They asked me if I was your whore. They said I had to be a worker in that department of some sort because there’s no way you’d choose me out of thousands of girls.”
“Y/N -”
“Before you get mad at me for not telling you about all the people coming into my job , I’m sorry I really am - I should have spoked up earlier. I now see you are right about the whole quitting my job thing.”
“Meu amor I could never be mad at you , specially over something like that.” He begins
“What those girls said is no where near true and we both know it. You know why I chose you-”
“Do I really know why tho? Why did you chose me Neymar? You could have any woman you want.” I interrupt , a wave of insecurity going over me.
He drops his arms from around me and helps me to stand up , walking me over to the couch. He sits down and grabs my arms causing me to straddle his lap ,bringing one of his hands up to the side of my neck and letting the other rest on the outside of my thigh. Reaching up he gives my forehead , cheeks , and lips a small kiss before speaking -
“I chose you because when I walked into that jewelry store my eyes went straight to you. I could not take my mind off of you for the next week after that. I had to make you mines. I found any stupid excuse to go back there and just speak to you.”
“You have changed my life im so many unexplainable ways Y/N. There’s no other woman that I could ever dream of when I have you right here - all for me. You are the light of my life. I love and adore every single thing about you , you have bewitched me mind and soul.”
“I like to believe you were made just for me because there is no other woman on this earth that can make me go crazy like you. I will continue to show you-”
He leans forward laying gentle kisses on my neck.
“Every single day-”
His hand on my thigh starts slowly finding its way to my clothed center.
All my thoughts from what those girls told me earlier completely vanished , my focus now being on Neymar’s words and his hands making every inch of my body hot with desire.
I can tell he’s doing this to take my mind off things and it’s definitely working.
“That you are -”
I can feel his hard on under me so I decide to move forward - just a bit to tease him.
“The most utterly breathtaking-”
His hand at my neck now making its way to my behind , giving it a tight squeeze , causing me to roll my hips forward onto him again.
“And perfect woman for me.”
His face comes up from my neck before he smashes his lips on mine , i kiss him back immediately with everything in me.
I pull away to look him in the eyes and wrap my hands around his neck.
“I’m tired of us hiding linda. Eu te amo , e você merece ser mostrada como a beleza que você é.” [I love you and you deserve to be shown of like the beauty you are]
“Eu te amo mais.” I say back pecking his lips.
“And okay amor you win. But I’m really going to miss our privacy time together.” I add.
His hand leaves my center and comes up to my behind , giving me a squeeze before picking me up , causing me to squeal.
“We can have privacy time all the time princesa, just give me a heads up , the answer is always yes.” He says smirking before carrying me up the stairs while ripping off all my clothes.
“You’re crazy Ney.”
“Only for you meu amor.”
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
a/n : okay first off - i had to use the pride and prejudice quote i just had to. i know it’s definitely not something ney would say but this is all fiction so let’s imagine like he would lolll.
also i feel like i drag out these imagines a little too long or i go a lot into detail , that’s how i like my writing but if you guys do feel like their a bit long please let me know and ill make them short or if you guys enjoy them this length or even want them longer please let me know.
finally thank you again for who ever sent in this request i really appreciate you taking interest in my writing and thank you guys so much for 100 followers ♡

Can u do a pedri angst where him and reader finally make it official after months of him chasing after her but the next day the paparazzi find him getting cozy with a girl qnd its all over the media and she feels embarrassed but he doesnt think its a big deal so they get into a fight but make up in the end
Breaking News- Pedri Gonzalez
Tumblr media
S, f, a
I saw that you also asked someone else and they did it, but I am gonna still answer you, so I hope you will like this as well. Enjoy!
So here is Pedri's version:
Pedri fell in love with you months ago, and he knew that he wasn't your type. His schedule was always busy, and he didn't have time to be in a relationship, and you wanted something serious. That hurt him a lot, but he didn't want to give up on you. For weeks, he did everything to show you that he loves you and that he wants something serious, too.
After a lot of work, you agreed to be his girlfriend and it was the best decision. He was a sweetheart, always made time to be with you. You would go to his games to support him and he would always be there when you needed.
People knew that you were together, but it was not a secret, but a private kind of relationship. He tried to keep you away from all the social media, knowing how they could destroy couples. He tried so hard to be yours, and he didn't want to lose you.
Now, Pedri was coming home after a hard day. It was really late and he was tired, especially that people were all over him. He barely could drive, so he decided to open the window and to sign some things and make some photos for the fans.
He stayed there a lot, and right when he wanted to leave to come home to see you, a girl shouted his name to make a video of her. Pedri sweared in his mind before smiling at her phone. When he thought that she was done, the girl went over and kissed his cheek. People started to scream in surprise. Everyone was with cameras, and Pedri felt so bad.
He couldn't say much thing, especially to shout at her, knowing that this was going to be on all super media. He only said that what she did was rude and his face was really angry.
He left the place and went home to see you on the couch, waiting for him, sleepy.
He smiled at you and kissed you. The kiss started to become more hard and after some time you were both naked on the couch.
"If you are too tired we can-"
"No, no, please" Pedri interrupted you. "I really want it"
You smiled at his words and then continued what you were doing.
Next morning, you woke up in his bed, naked. The blanket being the only thing that was covering you.
Pedri was already awake, and you went to sit on his lap while he was playing with your hair. He put the blanket over your shoulders and kissed your neck slowly. The night you two had was magic. He made sure to make you feel good, and today, being his off day, made it even more perfect. You could be all day together and that made you both happy.
After he told you that he's going to take a quick shower, you went through your phone to see if are some news.
You were on ig and saw a lot of videos and photos of Pedri and some girl the night before. You knew it meant nothing, but the way he acted made you sad.
She was way prettier than you and you were afraid that he enjoyed her kiss.
When he came back from his shower and saw your uncomfortable face, he asked you what happened.
"Nothing"
"C'mon, Y/n, please tell me!"
"I said nothing, Pedri!"
He stayed silent for some seconds before speaking again.
"Did I do something wrong..?"
"Oh, really? I don't know, did you?"
"That's why I asked you!"
He was getting on your nerves now.
"I-" he tried to speak after you showed him the videos.
"I'm not mad"
He seemed to calm down at your words a bit.
"No?"
"I..I'm just...sad? Disappointed? Embarrassed?"
"Why!? Y/n, look, I'm really sorry, but I don't think it's a big deal..?"
You were shocked by his words. Not a big deal?
"Ok" you replied simply before dressing up and wanting to leave the house.
"Where are you going?!"
"Not a big deal, Pedro."
"No, no, don't go. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, please stop. Let's talk about it, please."
"What is it to talk? You already made a conclusion. Exactly as you said 'not a big deal', right?"
"Y/n-"
"I don't want to hear it."
"Please, don't leave me. Let me at least explain!"
"What to explain, Pedro, if for you it's not a big deal!?"
"I'm sorry I said that! It was so stupid, but I promise to you that I only said it to not talk about it because I felt horrible when it happened!"
"Oh, and you decided to not tell me, but sleep with me! How mature, Pedro!"
"No, no, please-!"
"Please, what?"
"Let me explain what exactly happened"
"Go on, then. Make it quick."
He explained everything that happened. Ehy he didn't want to make a scandal and just left without going into a fight. How he didn't want it to affect your relationship and how he is really sorry.
You also explained that you weren't angry with him or mad. You just felt insecure and embarrassed that he chose you out of everyone.
"For me, you're perfect, and I only love you, amorcito. Trust me, you have all my attention"
You smiled at his words and kissed him. That day, he did exactly what you told him, in a way to be forgiven. You were laughing at his silliness, but were so happy that you were spending time with him.
All day, he made sure to tell you how pretty you are and how important you are for him. He also promised that if something like that is going to happen again, he would make clear again that he has a girl home that he truly loves.

can you do: Xdinary heroes reaction to sharing a bed with their s/o for the first time
Aww thank you. I love your profile icon by the way!
All members ≈ - _ - ≈
Summary: Xdinary Heroes sharing the bed with you for the first time.
WC:~1k
Warning:grammar
Tumblr media
photo not mine credit to owner.
Gunil
At first Gunil insisted that he would sleep on your couch, but you told him to stop being silly and just sleep on the bed with you. Once you finally convinced him that it was ok to sleep on the bed with you he lays on the very edge on the opposite side of the bed from you. 
“Gunil what are you doing over there? Why are you acting like we’ve never cuddled?” you laughed. A red hue takes over Gunil’s face maybe he was being a bit ridiculous. Especially when you put it like that. The two of you have cuddled plenty of times. He comes to his senses that he’s making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. He scoots closer to you and you take the initiative to use his chest as a pillow. Gunil wraps his arms around you. 
“Goodnight,” he tells you. 
“Goodnight,” you say back. Gunil realizes that he quite likes this, being able to fall asleep with you.
Jungsu
Jungsu felt shy at the thought of sleeping in the same bed as you. He told you that he could just sleep on the floor. He didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable. However, you insisted that he sleep on the bed with you. Jungsu carefully got into bed laying down beside you. His heart was beating a bit too fast for doing something as simple as sleeping next to you. 
“Why are you so stiff? It’s like you’re a wooden plank,” you chuckled. You referring to him as a wooden plank got Jungsu to loosen up, letting out a laugh of his own. 
“I don’t know why I’m nervous,” he said. You reached out, grabbing one of his hands, interlacing it with yours.
“You must like me a lot,” you played. It’s dark so Jungsu can’t exactly see you, but he knows you’re smiling. 
“I do.” He brings your hand up to lips kissing it. Jungsu feels much more relaxed now and ready to sleep.
Gaon/Jiseok
Jiseok has no hesitation with climbing into your bed and making himself comfortable. You came back to your room after changing into your pajamas to find him already cozied up underneath the covers.
“Well don’t you look comfortable,” you remarked, standing near your doorway. Jiseok didn’t respond, instead he pats the empty space beside him. A silent way of telling you to come join him. You do just that, walking over to the other side of the bed and climbing in next to Jiseok. 
“You’re too far away,” he grumbled, pulling you over closer to him. Your heart cooed at his clinginess. He threw one of his arms and one of his legs over you. To ensure that you don’t go “too far away”.  You place one of your arms over his, holding it close to your chest. He places a kiss on your head and you do the same to him. 
“Goodnight,” he murmured. 
“Goodnight,” you tell him.
O.de/Seungmin
At first he offers to sleep on the couch or the floor because he doesn’t want you to feel uncomfortable. Once you give him the green light that you’re ok with it he has no problem joining you on the bed. Tuckering down right beside you. He waits a few moments before turning over to spoon you. Pulling your back flush to his chest. 
“This ok?” he checked. You smiled, although he couldn't see it. You placed a hand over his that was around your waist.
“More than ok,” you answered. It felt warm and at ease, a bit domestic even, resting together side by side. Seungmin thinks that this is the most relaxed he has felt when it comes to trying to fall asleep. There are no worries on his mind. You, his beloved, are nestled up in his embrace. The only displeasing thing is that this will come to an end in the morning, so he'll enjoy every moment of it that he can until he drifts off to sleep and wakes to the morning sun.
Junhan/Hyeongjun
Hyeongjun was having trouble keeping the pink hues from dusting his face as you told him that him sleeping on the floor wasn’t necessary. That he should sleep up on the bed with you. It wasn’t like it was the biggest deal in the world to share a bed with you, but this was the first time that you two would be doing it during your relationship. He slowly sits on the bed before repositioning to lay down. He can feel the heat in his ears. 
“Hyeongjun, you can lay closer to me than that. Don’t risk falling off of the bed,” you told him with a slight chuckle in your voice. Hyeongjun like an inchworm scoots bit by bit closer to you. Growing tired of his slow movements you sling an arm over him, pulling him a safe distance from the edge. “There,” you stated. You kept your arm slung over him, but were about to pull away thinking he might be uncomfortable. However Hyeongjun placed his hand over your arm, keeping it there. Then you both wished each other goodnight.
Jooyeon
Crawled into your bed like it was his own. Then he opened his arms wide for you to come cuddle with him. 
“You know I always sleep holding my plushies, so you’ll have to replace them,” he tells you with a bright smile. You playfully shook your head at him, but still placed yourself right into his arms. He held you snuggly against his chest. One arm wrapped around your lower back and the other around your shoulders. You truly felt like a stuffed animal with the way he was holding you. 
“Should I be offended that I’ve been moved to plushie status?” you questioned, words a bit distorted due to your cheek being squished against his chest. You feel Jooyeon’s laughter rumble through his chest as escapes from his lips. 
“You’re my favorite plushie. My others could never compare to you.” he presses a kiss to your head. It’s true, even though this is your first time sleeping together he thinks that it’ll be hard to go back to sleep with his other plushies when you aren’t there for him to hold.

para ti papá | miguel o'hara
Tumblr media
miguel o'hara & g/n reader (platonic but there's love in everything amirite)
4.2k words
miguel hates wasting time. you hate seeing people pretend to act tough. miscommunication, trauma bonding, and a movie night(?) ensue.
this will be a two parter, so enjoy the first bit of (belated) father's day hurt/comfort... aka the hurt
also available on ao3
Tumblr media
“hey! you took all the frosting!”
“you did smush the cupcake on my nose, cariño.”
swipe.
“dad, what’s a hickey? and why does uncle gabriel say you have to keep covering them up?”
“… i’ll tell you when you’re older.”
swipe.
“if spider-man can stay up past 10 pm, why can’t i?”
“mija, he’s way older and has a whole nueva york to defend. you still need me to tie your shoes. and you call pigeons street chickens.”
“okay i’m returning your father’s day gift.”
“wait what-”
swipe.
“i love you dad. even if you stink sometimes.”
“hey now, i don’t smell that bad.”
“you sure?”
“… pass. but… i love you too.”
finishing with loud giggles, the final video ends. silence gradually fills the room, the echoes of long-lost laughter fading out. the thrum of miguel’s workstation shifts into white noise.
a fragment of the life miguel had with his daughter, gabriella, lingers on the expanded screen in front of him. the gabi on the screen stays stuck in miguel’s lap, trapped by his arms as he leans down to tickle her. a mischievous grin flashes on that miguel’s face.
but as the screen and that reality flickers away, miguel shuts his eyes. he hangs his head low, letting out a deep sigh. jessica and peter and the others have asked him countless times why he keeps doing this. going over memories of a life that was never his to begin with.
over. and over. and over.
it’s equal parts selfish and self-denying. that world may not have been his. but he still mourns what bits of it he could experience. the joy. the love and safety he could provide. having a genuine reason to smile….
at the same time, he resents himself for the lives he’s destroyed. a whole dimension, gone. all because of his blind longing.
he’s lost too much, inflicted too much pain and destruction, to not remind himself of what he’s fighting for. what the whole spider society is trying to achieve.
“earth to miguel. reality check coming in.”
miguel glances to the side as lyla appears above him, glitching between sitting with her legs crossed and standing with her hands on her hips. he furrows his brow at her sly expression. the heels of his palms dig even deeper into the workstation desk.
“yeah yeah, i’m listening,” miguel exhales. he leans back, swiping away a lingering hologram screen and looking across the surveillance setup. “is there something i should be seeing or…?”
lyla reappears beside the screens. “well, there’s an anomaly on earth-2444. some goons from spider-man noir’s world got sucked up during a botched bank heist.” the surveillance screens flash images and video clips of said anomalies breaking into a banquet hall, holding some attendees hostage and engaging in a standoff with security and police. “made a dinner party a heck of a lot more interesting, buuut technically those people may still be in danger.”
miguel raises an eyebrow. “and noir’s not handling the case himself… why?” the cynical, black and white-dressed vigilante usually loved any excuse to hand troublemakers’ asses to them. especially those from his dimension. it seemed weird to miguel that noir wasn't eagerly rushing to save the day.
“he’s on an in-world crime bust.” lyla points to one of the screens. a brief montage of noir in a standoff flashes and quickly slows to a still photo.
“okay, then alert the local spider-man. this is a one, maybe two-person job. they can handle it and ask for someone on standby if need be.”
“they’re also busy.”
"well then we’ll send someone else.”
miguel grows more irritated by the moment. why is lyla making this more difficult than it has to be?
“there’s no one else to send, miguel.” the videos on the surveillance screens freeze, highlighting the ongoing dimensional deviation that needs addressing.
“en serio, lyla, you’re telling me there’s no one we can dispatch for this?”
“no, miguel.” lyla’s blunt, almost annoyed-sounding response claps back at miguel’s exasperation. she counts off on her fingers as she continues, growing to a human size in front of him. “everyone else we have is sick, on patrol, or on break for today.”
except you.
lyla doesn’t say it, but miguel can feel it in her tone.
he swallows a groan, resting his hands on his hips. it’s a simple job, really. take down a few anomalies. send them back home or toss them in a laser cage overnight. and then get back to trying not to burst a damn blood vessel over preserving the delicate balance of the multiverse.
still, there’s something that tugs him back a bit. makes his body more sore than usual, even though he took his last injection a few days ago. something calls for him to stay put. review the surveillance footage to see if there’s something bigger he can tackle.
or if there’s another video of gabi he can not so subtly revisit and ease his lingering emotional ache with.
“lyla….” miguel cringes a bit at how tired his voice sounds. “i–”
“hold up boss. i got some new info.”
lyla interrupts miguel with a status update. two of the surveillance screens depict a spider on the move, another screen flashing their background notes and mission statistics. “we got a familiar face on the way, but from the looks of things, they may need an assist…”
the meaning behind lyla’s words hits miguel almost immediately. that unmistakable get up and the record of their recent mistakes and mishaps catches his attention.
and so does a roster of the stupid nicknames this spider has referred to miguel by for the last year. lyla’s been keeping a secret record, apparently.
ese pinche pendejo.
the irritation radiates tenfold off miguel as he presses a button on the workstation, initiating its descent. he impatiently taps at his watch while the workstation takes its time. regardless of how shitty he feels today, he’s not going to let this dumbass screw up handling some small antagonists yet again.
“patch me through to them,” miguel demands. “now.”
lyla sighs, glitching to miguel’s shoulder in miniature form. “thought you might say that,” she deadpans.
miguel turns, jumping down the remaining distance between the platform and the floor. he can’t waste any time. he doesn’t want to.
he presses the big yellow dot representing earth-2444 on the watch interface. a burst of blue-hued rays illuminate the entryway to the room before forming the glowing, golden hexagonal portal entrance.
“well, they’re not answering but they know you’re on the way,” lyla reports, appearing next to the portal and giving a mini salute.
miguel mutters under his breath, summoning his mask over his head. taking a deep breath, he steps into the shimmering portal, ready to confront the nuisances awaiting him in earth-2444.
and to knock some damn sense into the idiot that hopefully doesn’t screw things up in the next few minutes.
“OW! FUCK ME!”
the baking sheet drops with a loud thud from your hand onto the tiny stove. red hot heat and pain flashes across your fingertips. cursing under your breath, you shake your gloved hand, blowing on it in hopes the pain will quickly subside.
whichever spider person gave you the tip for making your suit gloves heat resistant was a damn liar. they’d be hearing your angry complaints later. for now, you nudge the oven closed with your hip and peek over at the empanadas scattered on the baking sheet. the pastries don’t look half bad, gleaming a nice shade of brown. at the very least, the kitchen air smells absolutely heavenly. hints of savory spices, herbs, and the fillings… it's blissful.
hopefully they’re enough for miguel to forgive my ass, you wish internally. deception and some white lies aren’t exactly your favorite tactics to use. but when it comes to making headstrong leaders slash close-ish friends confront their suppressed emotional turmoil, you decide it’ll do the job.
it’s your way of offering that stoic tight ass some support. you’ve known miguel for a little over a year, and you two weren’t super close friends. sometimes he acted more like he wanted to punch you in the jaw than chat with you about your lives or an upcoming mission. but you ended up crossing paths more often than coworkers who tolerate each other generally do. and the way you both gradually got in the habit of calling each other first for an assist signaled some level of trust. even if you were the one to call on him a little more.
after jessica and peter, you were first in line for lyla to contact when miguel needed to strategize. or pull his head out of his ass. or, in rare moments, have someone to talk to and be a normal person. especially after a particularly rough day.
it was during the rare moments of guard-down vulnerability that you caught glimpses of the little things miguel o'hara usually kept under heavy wraps. like his love for homemade food. how he's somehow only seen a grand total of fifty something movies in his lifetime. and the soul-crushing inner turmoil he held onto on a day like father’s day.
which was today. and without a doubt, you knew miguel would try to act tough and soldier on like it was another boring sunday unless someone did something about it.
you double check that the oven’s turned off before moving to grab a cool drink from the fridge. a variety of sodas, teas, and water with brands parodying those of your world greet you. along with some other basic groceries. you make a mental note to thank the spider of earth-2444 for their generosity.
any other thoughts or drink selection is quickly interrupted by a rapidly growing thrumming sound. you notice too late that the sound isn’t coming from the oven or the refrigerator. a loud banging and crashing emerges from down the hallway.
shit… is that–?
the string of growls and curses in spanish coming from the bathroom answers your question. to your mental checklist, you add any toiletry replacements and bathroom repairs miguel might be wracking up.
“mierda, lyla, where the hell did you send me?”
the muffled yell springs you into action. blindly grabbing a pair of drinks from the fridge - one for you and miguel each - you attempt to cool off your hand while speeding over to the couch. the fridge shuts with a click as you sit down and swipe the remote off the tiny table in front of you. the tv’s loud chimes while turning on send your heartbeat shooting up even faster.
“shut up shut up shut up,” you command under your breath. this whole encounter is feeling less like revealing a surprise and more like awaiting your imminent chewing out on behalf of miguel o’hara. speaking of…
the bathroom door bangs open down the hall. an exasperated snarl spills out of miguel’s mouth, his heavy footsteps thudding against the tiny apartment’s hardwood floors. you nervously shuffle through the viewing options on the tv, finding just the one you had in mind and clicking it right before the footsteps slow.
miguel blinks behind his mask. disbelief fills him for a moment, quickly overshadowed by a cloud of anger. here he is, transported into some random, dimly lit apartment rather than the grand, glowing banquet hall currently under threat. he’d just ripped a tangle of shower curtains out of determination to get out sooner. all for the signs to continue to point to lyla having directed him to the wrong place.
or so he thinks. until he sees the very spider person he’d come to make sure wasn’t making the hostage situation worse. kicking back here. watching some fucking movie.
he calls out your name in a lowered, explanation-demanding voice. “what the hell is this?”
the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. it’s obvious from his tone that he’s beyond pissed. still, maybe a little charm can stun him.
you place the drinks on the table and turn towards miguel, resting an arm on the back of the couch. “it’s a movie night, mig,” you reply casually, nodding back towards the tv. “was waiting for you to show up.”
the eyes of miguel's mask narrow as he takes in the scene, his anger simmering beneath the surface. he had expected to find a high-stakes hostage situation. not a seemingly relaxed movie night in progress.
"we've got a serious situation on our hands, and you're here watching… whatever that is?"
you can practically breathe in the tension in the air. “it’s the godfather,” you start in defense, pulling yourself off the couch and slowly walking towards him. “and i already took care of it.” you mirror miguel’s signature hands on hips intimidation pose, stopping just a small distance in front of him.
“oh, really ?” his voice drips with bitter sarcasm. “you single-handedly saved the day while i was tearing shower curtains? without revealing your face to bystanders? or letting the anomalies almost slip into a whole other universe?”
he’s mocking you now. dragging your failures out to try to put you in your place. but little does he know those screw ups don’t phase you like they normally would.
they were intentional, after all. just bait to lure him in, right here, right now.
tugging your mask off, you meet miguel's gaze with unwavering confidence. "and i made it back here in less than 10 minutes,” you respond. “everyone’s got off days, gorgeous. but i really did handle it this time. you can trust me."
miguel scoffs. “you said the same thing about the prowler from earth-4269. then he broke out of his cage and almost tore a hole through your stomach.”
“ugh, don’t remind me,” you shudder. “hobie still hasn’t let me live that one down. or stopped trying to convince me to get a belly button piercing.”
the mix of skepticism and frustration in miguel’s stare doesn’t waver at your joke. instead, a moment of silence save for the tv in the background falls between the two of you.
“lyla.” miguel finally breaks the lull, turning his attention to the ai assistant appearing beside him. lyla offers a little wave, waiting for instructions. “show me what happened,” he demands.
“sure thing,” lyla chirps, immediately projecting a holographic display in front of miguel.
the room fills with a projected recap of your earlier crime-fighting events. your swift and agile movements as you expertly wrangled the anomalies. tossing and tugging them away from hitting, shooting, or otherwise harming the hostages. the attendees expressing their gratitude as you kicked the bad guys into a portal home.
and the unceremonious ending where security and the police chased after you and you swung back here to hide away and breathe. lyla had made sure to cut out all the surprise-related details. including the part where you almost fucked up the empanada recipe with a shit ton of sugar instead of salt.
“what’d i tell you?” you chime in, crossing your arms as the recap ends. “had to make sure there were no distractions for ou- i mean my. my godfather watch party.”
the skepticism seems to have mostly faded from miguel’s masked expression, replaced by agitation. leaning to the side slightly, you release a web towards the kitchen. you grin as you successfully capture and pull back an empanada. “made some snacks too. wanna try one, sweeth– ah shit, it’s still hot.”
lyla chuckles while you juggle the empanada between your hands. miguel, on the other hand, remains unamused.
“if you already covered everything, why didn’t you report that back to lyla?” miguel questions.
you stiffen, gripping the slightly cooler empanada in between your gloves. “well, about that…" you start to say, easing him into your ulterior motives.
“and how didn’t you pick up on the fact that the coast was already clear, hmm?” miguel interjects. his sharp gaze shifts to lyla hovering above his shoulder. he senses that something isn't adding up, and his instincts are honing in on the bluff.
lyla shrugs. “even gorgeous ai assistants make mistakes sometimes,” she responds nonchalantly. “besides, spidey here didn’t pick up, so i was going off what information i had at the time.”
miguel lets out a dry laugh. mentirosos. los dos. his mask disappears to reveal his piercing red eyes fixed on you. his tongue darts out to lick a particularly sharp canine, intensifying his glare. his expression demands answers.
"so, screwing up missions wasn't good enough for you, was it?" he accuses, his arms crossed. "you just had to move on to wasting my time with non-existent ones."
you can't help but snort at the accusation. "maybe i just really like your attention and oh so friendly company," you remark mockingly, taking a deliberate bite of your empanada.
miguel's eyebrow quirks in confusion and ever-growing irritation. with a mischievous glint in your eyes, you continue, "or maybe, just maybe, i had something else planned the whole time."
the atmosphere in the room crackles with frustration and impatience as miguel’s eyes narrow. he tries to unravel the truth behind your actions. "wanna tell me?" his tone orders you more than asks.
you meet his intense stare head-on, a teasing smirk playing on your lips. "well, miguel, let's just say i wanted to test how you handle unexpected situations. we need to be prepared for anything, right?"
miguel's eyebrows furrow. "wh- testing me?” he shakes his head, baffled by your audacity. “por dios, is this some kind of game to you?"
you take another bite of the empanada, relishing in the flavorful distraction. "kinda,” you answer casually. “and you weren’t gonna take some time off today anyway so… i had to take matters into my own hands."
miguel looks seconds away from either throwing you against the wall or ripping the empanada from your hands. well, at least it gives a sense of how he might respond to what comes next.
“lyla, you can do the thing now,” you say before finishing your snack.
before miguel can ask what thing you’re talking about, a whirring sound comes from his wrist. a series of flashes and glitches flicker across the watch face. his eyes widen in confusion at the display. “what…” he murmurs, tapping at the screen lightly to try to see what’s going on. but his touch only worsens the glitching. he grits his teeth, pressing the seemingly-malfunctioning watch in aggravation.
“don’t worry,” you interject calmly. your reassurance earns you a frustrated glare. “the thing’s not broken… it’s just on–”
“lockdown.” lyla’s voice interrupts from miguel’s and your watches simultaneously. the ai is out of sight and at limited capacity for now, according to your carefully-planned programming. “the affected watches are under multiverse jump restriction for three hours. operation 'reel healing' is underway. happy movie watching, cuties….”
both watches’ screens fade to black, only to be replaced by the word "lockdown" in red and a countdown timer starting to tick away the three hours.
peter and jessica had warned you miguel might not respond well to this. a forced but well-intended work break, meant to give him some time off from stressing over the multiverse…. and to maybe get him to stop beating himself up over his tragic inter-dimensional mistake for one night.
are you interfering with spider society work? sure. will miguel hate your guts for a while? no doubt about it. but you just wanted to be a good friend. and good friends don’t let their friends sulk in their dark lair alone on father’s day.
you’re snapped out of your thoughts when miguel’s frustration finally erupts. without warning, miguel snatches you by the shoulders, claws tearing at your suit as he slams you against the wall. the impact against the wall jolts through your body, causing you to wince in pain.
"is this about the 'reel healing' nickname?" you try to joke through a winded gasp. "because peter and gwen were the ones who-"
miguel's grip on your shoulders tightens. all words clear from your mind, your survival mode subconsciously triggered. his voice is strained as he leans in close, shutting down your attempt to diffuse the situation.
"do you have any idea how this little stunt could backfire?" a clear concern lies in his words, but his rage at your actions seems a lot more obvious. his direct eye contact could burn holes into your head.
some regret gnaws at you, but your stubbornness wins out. “i'm pretty sure it won’t,” you retort. adrenaline courses through your veins.
miguel growls. his canines seem even sharper now that they’re right within bite-your-face-off distance. “we have a job to do–”
“and we’ll get back to it later,” you cut him off, trying not to groan at how miguel’s claws threaten to draw blood. “in case you haven’t noticed, we’re stuck here . we either gotta wait for something to happen or chill the fuck out. and even if hq has something come up, i got some people covering for us.”
the grip on your shoulders loosens ever so slightly. miguel’s glare demands answers.
“there’s a bypass,” you continue, “if things actually do go south. immediate contacts that will override the lockdown. but i got a roster of people on patrol and their backups.” gently placing your hands around miguel’s wrist, you finish. “and jess and peter are in charge while we’re gone. so maybe… lighten up a bit?”
for a brief moment, a quiet only broken by the movie in the background hangs heavy in the room. miguel releases his grip, shaking off your hold on his wrists and stepping back from the wall. his anger shifts to a mix of emotions.
inside his mind, miguel screams at you. lighten up, my ass. you dragged me out here for some… movie? intervention? god, what the fuck is this?
a glimmer of belief and hurt flickers in his still sharp gaze. he can barely look at you, staring anywhere but your face. regret starts to seep back into your thoughts. taking control from the control freak like this was beyond a bad idea. it was a violation of trust. regardless of how much progress you’d made with picking past miguel’s tough guy exterior, his open wounds were off limits.
miguel opens his mouth, and you brace yourself for the incoming insults and backlash. but for whatever reason, nothing comes out. miguel just shakes his head, muttering under his breath and pinching the bridge of his nose.
your hands fall limply to your side. slight fatigue aches in your muscles. today’s mission and orchestrating everything to make this little get together possible is taking its physical and mental toll.
looking towards the screen, you observe a wedding day scene playing out—a rare, relatively blood-free moment in the godfather. although you haven't watched the movie – at least, not recently – your intuition tells you that this is one of the few upbeat scenes. it seems like the perfect opportunity to sit down and immerse yourself in the movie.
from the corner of your eye, you notice that miguel's attention is also drawn to the tv, his expression still clouded with an emotional storm.
"you… wanna sit down?" you suggest cautiously. "enjoy some empanadas and ruthless mafia violence? maybe talk about our days…?"
miguel looks back at you, his frown deepening at the sight of your small, nervous smile. the unspoken turmoil within him seems to wrestle with the idea.
but he chooses to pull away. put up barriers. he lets out a heavy sigh before turning away from you, retracing his steps down the hallway he came from. the distance between you widens in more than just the physical sense.
fatigue weighs even heavier on your shoulders, both physically and emotionally. it squashes your desire to go after him, to admit you stepped way out of line. yet, deep down, you wish he would stay. just to make the apartment feel less stifling than it’s growing to be.
"mig… wait," you call out weakly, the ache in your chest and body mirroring the ache in your voice.
the sound of your voice hangs in the air. miguel ignores it, opening the bathroom door and quickly slipping inside. the door swings shut with a loud click. miguel seals himself away from you and any chance of immediate resolution.
a suffocating sense of disappointment settles over you. how could you have been so stupid?
with a heavy sigh, you make your way towards the couch. the sounds of the movie and the scent of empanadas fill the air, but they fail to mask the pain and loneliness that lingers.
miguel’s left you with the weight of your actions.
and according to your watch, you have two hours, fifty-six minutes, and thirteen seconds to review just how foolish and self-centered you were to think making miguel o'hara watch a movie with you would make his father’s day any less shitty.

Ghostface | Pt.2
Pairing: Stu!Ghostface x female!reader
Prompt/summary: Time went by slow after that night the masked stranger broke into your house. When he appears for a quick meetup in your shed, your hopes were high that he would stick around this time, maybe even reveal who he was. Instead, you learn that he was the man who killed your old schoolmate and you’re left with a mental dilemma until he decides to come back. But what will you do when he finally takes the mask off and tells you the truth? 
Word count: 6.3K
Warnings/contents: Fluff, mild language, kissing 
Notes: Okay, so I was torn for, like, awhile on what direction to take this chapter and how the reader would find out that the masked stranger is actually Stu, so I hope that you guys like the rout I took for this. Enjoy soft Stu. I want to also say thank you to everybody for being so patient while I was writing this. I know how much I hate having to wait for part 2 to come out, but the creativity just wasn't coming to me for such a long time.
Now that it's finally here, I hope it's as good as the first one, or it's worth the wait. As the author I feel biased in saying I don't love it because I had to write it, pause and then proofread to see where I was at and make sure I wasn't repeating myself, and then write it again, and then repeat the process, and then proofread all of it at once in the end.
You can find part 1 here! 
<>~<>~<>
Tumblr media
It had been a week and a half now since the mysterious stranger had broken into your house, and despite not hearing a single word from him again, you couldn’t get it off of your mind. That night, you laid in your bed for hours before finally being able to fall asleep. Not a single word had been uttered about that night, when your friend asked why you stopped replying, you lied and said you had fallen asleep. If she knew the truth, she would have called you insane, made you do a rape test to get his DNA and convinced you to go to the cops. 
Why hadn’t you done that? Even you weren’t sure. The next day, you were on the edge of your seat. You’d even called into work because you just couldn’t think. 
Your parents were back home, asleep in their room while you sat in your plush chair in your own beside the lamp reading your book; a gripping horror novel that you couldn’t put down. It was nearly 2 o’clock in the morning and your eyes were exhausted, but you had tomorrow off and you wanted to spend your time reading, you would simply sleep in tomorrow. It would be worth it. 
It only happened in times like these, but for once, the man was off of your mind. However, when you were at work, it seemed impossible to not think back to that night; you had sex before, but it had been nothing like that. Not knowing who he was had almost excited you even more— he had been right, and that had made you shiver at the thought. Not even in your wildest dreams did you think that you would ever had enjoyed what happened that night. Not until you experienced it. 
Your phone started to silently buzz against your leg. You didn’t think too much of it; sometimes your friend would call you at night to see if you were awake. Nonchalantly, you glanced down, expecting to see her goofy contact photo. Instead, you were greeted with the familiar words ‘no caller ID’ for the second time. You were quick to put your bookmark into the page you were on, completely forgetting the words that you’d just read, and set the book down as you reached for your phone. 
Your hands nearly shook as you brought your phone to your ear. 
“Hello?” Your voice was quiet, not wanting your parents to hear you in case they were awake. 
“Hello, (y/n).” The familiar voice spoke over the phone, and even though it had been so long since you had spoken to him, his voice sounded like someone you’d spoken to every day. You couldn’t help the tingle of excitement in your stomach. 
“I hadn’t thought that I would hear from you again.” You said, peeking at your window that was locked and covered by your thin curtains. 
“Why not?” You were quiet. “I’ve been here and there this whole time.” He said as if it was nothing. “You look cute when you’re zoned out. Thinking about my cock inside of you?” The man teased, a devious laugh following his words as if he could see the way your face flushed. 
“Do I get to know who you are yet?” You asked, glancing around your room as if he was going to appear out of nowhere like he had last time. “Or are you going to leave me in suspense forever?” 
“I haven’t decided.” 
“Where are you?” He was quiet. “Are you here?” 
“It might be hard to fuck you with your parents in the next room; you’re not what I would call quiet in bed.” The man teased. “If you want it so bad, come outside.” You were quiet for a moment before you spoke. 
“Outside…?” Ever since you were little you had been afraid of the dark. Sleeping in the comfort of your own room with the door shut and the lights off was one thing, but going outside late at night when nobody was around was something that you had never done or wanted to do. It was dangerous. You were afraid of the worst that could happen. 
As if the worst hadn’t already happened when he broke into your house and fucked you. 
“What? Afraid of the dark?” He asked, but the tone of his voice made you think that he already knew the answer. “Come outside. Meet me behind the shed. I’ll be waiting.” And with that, he hung up, leaving you in the silence of your bedroom. 
You set your phone and book aside, standing and quietly creeping towards your bedroom door. You opened it as quiet as you could and crept out, hearing the snores coming from your parents room. Their door was shut, but you still winced at every creak in the stairs. 
Knowing that turning on the light to the backyard would wake your parents up, you kept it off and unlocked the door, sliding it shut behind you and holding onto the handle like a lifeline. The backyard was pitch black and the shed was on the other end around the pool— that thankfully had lights so that you wouldn’t accidentally fall into it. The last thing you needed was to try and explain to your parents why you were fully dressed and in the pool at two in the morning. 
Slowly, you worked your way towards the old tool shed and crept around the side. Behind the shed was well kept, but nothing was ever back there. There was no point in leaving things behind the shed. You looked around, finding yourself alone in the darkness. You wondered if the man had tricked you, but you jumped when a twig snapped beneath someones feet. You spun quickly, looking up at the man. 
He stood tall, the mask placed perfectly obscuring his face and the costume he wore last time hung loose around his ankles. You didn’t say a word as the man stepped closer to you, but this time you didn’t back away from him either. You waited and watched, craning your neck to look up at him when he stopped in front of you. 
“You know, if my parents woke up…” You hesitated, unsure of exactly what would happen if someone happened to glance out of their window and see you standing in your backyard in the middle of the night, conversing with a masked, cloaked stranger that nobody— even you— knew. You reached up, rubbing your bare arms quietly. A gloved hand reached forward and tilted your chin up. “It would be a lot easier to explain a boy in my room than… this.” 
“You’re saying you want me in your room again.” The man spoke as if he was making a question, but he chuckled. “I told you, I don’t know yet.” With a sigh, you grasped his hand from your chin and brought him with you this time, walking around the shed and opening the rickety door. You were quick to walk inside and drag him in with you, reaching up for the dim overhead light as you shut the door. 
There was more room than usual in the old shed after your father had gotten rid of the old lawnmower and was on the hunt for a new one, though there were still an abundance of old tools lined against the back wall that the man could use to maim you. 
You made sure that the door was completely shut before you looked back and turned your full attention to the man that was standing there staring at you. 
“Why are you back?” You asked, getting nothing in response from the man before you. “What if someone saw you sneaking around?” He chuckled this time. 
“Worried?” He asked tauntingly. “I came back for you.” The words shouldn’t have made your heart flutter the way that it did, but you couldn’t help the overwhelming feeling that settled uneasily in your gut when you were around the man. Everything was wrong with him, but maybe that was what excited you. “I haven’t been caught yet.” You weren’t exactly sure what that meant; did he mean that he hadn’t been caught here, or was he out doing this in multiple places? What was his motive? 
You hesitated for a second before you spoke again. 
“You did it, didn’t you?” You asked quietly, met only with the blank stare of the mask as you eyed him. “Killed that girl.” He was quiet. “Were you going to kill me, too?” 
“No.” 
“Why not?” 
“I didn’t feel like it.” 
“Why did you feel like killing her?” 
“Because I wanted to.” The cold words left the man and left a dry lump to form in your throat. What if he had just felt like killing you? What if he changed his mind and felt like that soon? You were once again in a compromising position with the man that just admitted to killing someone that you used to sit next to in math class when you were in high school. “You ask a lot of questions.” A blindfold was pulled from the mans pocket once again and was dangled lightly in front of you. 
“Do you want to kill me?” 
“No.” 
“What if you change your mind?” This time, he was quiet. With a sigh, you leaned closer to the man and closed your eyes. You weren’t sure what was going to happen this time, but you couldn’t help it— you just couldn’t say no to the man. Not with the unknown of what could happen. This time he left your wrists unbound, dangling by your side almost awkwardly. The man in front of you moved closer, his gloved hand reaching up for your chin again. 
You let him guide you, eyed closed and blocked from whatever he was doing. You were shocked when a pair of warm, chapped lips pressed to yours, but you were quick to give in to the man. His tongue teased your bottom lip as you shifted on your feet, unsure of whether or not you were allowed to reach for the man with your free hands. 
As if he read your mind, the stranger reached down and grasped your hands in his. He brought them to his shoulders and let them rest there while you let his tongue push into your mouth; he was an exceptional kisser, his warm body moving to press close to yours while your fingers grasped at the halloween costume he wore. You dared to explore, touching the warm base of his neck. When he didn’t stop you, you let your fingers wander further, grazing his jawline before you felt his hair. 
You didn’t care about who he was as he led you back a few steps. Your back pressed to the shed door and his hand slipped behind your head to hold it in his large hand. You gave into his every movement, letting the man do whatever he pleased while you moved your hand to feel his face; clean-shaven, soft skin rubbed beneath your fingers as he kissed you. 
The man reached down with his hand and grasped at your thigh, lifting it easily and wrapping it around his waist, making it easier for him to slide closer to you. His body fully pressed against your own, the obvious hardness in his pants pressed to you. Your hand moved up in his hair, running through it while you kissed the man back almost desperately. You ignored every tingle in your body, every instinct, and let him pick you up, wrapping your legs around his waist while he pushed you back against the wall again. 
He moved away from your lips, nudging your chin up and pressing his mouth to your neck. You leaned your head back, giving a soft sigh as he gently sucked on your skin. You were hoping that he wouldn’t leave a hickey for one simple reason: how the hell would you explain that to your friend tomorrow? 
His teeth nipped teasingly at your skin, not hard enough to leave a mark, but enough to elicit a low sound from the back of your throat. 
Lips pressed back to yours, pulling you in for another heated kiss— but there was something different about this one. Even before when he was kissing you like he was desperate for it, this time it felt stronger. The urge to feel your lips against his had surpassed even him as he squeezed your hips. The bruises were fading from the last time that he had come here to see you, but his grip still gave you a tinge of pain as he held you. 
He smelled fresh— intoxicating. His kiss was too good to deny. His body against yours made you tingle. The shame couldn’t even sit in your chest when his tongue pressed to your mouth again. Your fingers grazed his cheek, tracing along his jawline before they rested on his neck. 
Suddenly, the man pulled back, moving far enough away that you couldn’t feel his breath on your lips anymore— but you could hear his soft breathing. You gave a soft sound when his hand groped at your bare chest over the shirt that you were. Both of you were silent— you were afraid that speaking would break the tension that was held over the two of you right now. Your teeth caught your bottom lip as he gave your nipple a light pinch. 
A quiet exhale left the man as he reached up to gently touch your face. His fingers traced your cheekbone down to your jaw before he pulled back, grabbing your hips and setting you down on the ground. You gulped lightly, listening intently for the man to make sure that he didn’t disappear on you again. Blindly reaching out, your fingers came into contact with the man sooner than you thought they would. 
“I thought you snuck out on me again.” The man before you only gave a soft hum to acknowledge that he had heard what you said. Then, his fingers edged behind yours and fiddled with the blindfold that you wore. You wanted desperately to know who the man was, but you weren’t surprised when you opened your eyes after he took the blindfold off and met the white Ghostface mask. 
Trying to hide your disappointment wasn’t easy as the man pushed the blindfold into his pocket this time. The man reached over to flick the light off and reach for the handle. For a moment, he hesitated; you held your breath, unsure if what to hope for in the moment, but you were quickly let down when he opened the door and stepped outside of the shed. 
You were left in dead silence as the man left. For a moment, you waited; part of you was hoping that the man would be outside of the shed when you stepped out, but you knew that he wouldn’t be. He had no reason to wait. He’d gotten what he wanted, hadn’t he? 
With a sigh, you walked out of the shed, entertain the dark backyard alone. You shut the shed door and crept back inside of your house, locking the back door and sneaking back upstairs to your bedroom. The soft snores of your parents gave you a moment of relief; at least, if anything, they hadn’t known about you and the masked stranger in your backyard in the middle of the night. 
Plopping back down on the plush chair, you grabbed your book, but you were left simply staring at the page filled with words, not processing anything that you were looking at. Your mind was empty, but it was racing a million miles a minute at the same time. 
The thought was heavy on your mind until somehow, at some point, you finally laid in your bed, closed your eyes, and fell asleep. It felt like hours went by, and maybe they did— you didn’t bother to check your clock. 
What was the point? It wouldn’t have mattered anyways. Whether it was 11 o’clock or 6 o’clock, you would still have been laying there contemplating everything but thinking nothing all at once. 
And when sleep finally took you, the last thought on your mind was that the man you were kissing smelled familiar. But you couldn’t pinpoint from where. 
<>~<>~<>
Tonight was date night; your parents effort to rekindle the romance had given you a night (or at least the better half of two hours) with the house all to yourself with your obliging work schedule. Sometimes that meant your friend would come over, sometimes it meant you’d pass out in front of the television on the sofa with some cheesy horror movie playing with empty takeout containers on the coffee table. 
Only twenty minutes had gone by since your parents had left, but because of the season, it was already dark outside. The lights were off, Nightmare on Elm Street was playing on the television. You were scrolling through your timeline on your phone, occasionally sending quick back and forth messages to your friends, but it was a relatively quiet night. You weren’t quite hungry yet, but an empty soda can sat on the coffee table waiting to be discarded. 
Truthfully, you were bored. You had been ever since that very first night nearly a month ago now. You had to admit, after a mysterious, masked stranger breaks into your house, it’s hard to find every day life exciting. You were left working with a bored mind and speaking with a lackluster vibe towards life in general. Everybody had sensed it by now, but nobody other than you (and most likely the myserteous stranger) knew why it had happened so suddenly. 
Your phone started to buzz on the coffee table. 
‘No caller ID.” 
You watched it for a moment, then with a sigh of discontent, you leaned up and grabbed it, then flipped it upside down. Was blocking the strange man out of your life even possible? You didn’t know, but you did know that if you didn’t answer, he would most likely just show up anyways. You weren’t in the mood for “Guess where I am” games tonight. 
With the finality of the phone call, your phone buzzed twice and then went silent. Not even a moment passed before there was a knock at the backdoor. 
You stood up, walking back to the glass door and seeing nobody there when you flipped the light on. You looked around for a moment before reaching to unlock the door and heading back towards the sofa. Things were quiet for a minute, almost unusually quiet, before the glass door slid open. With your back to the door, you simply watched the movie that was playing. 
The chance that this was someone else was too low for you to worry. Besides, if it was, who cared? Life was dull, maybe some excitement would spice things up for you again. 
With a frown, you looked back. What were you thinking? What was wrong with you? Even you were starting to go off of the deep end and finding it harder and harder by the day to fully understand what was going on. 
But sure enough, there he was: tall, cloaked, a mask placed perfectly on the face of the man that you assumed to be extremely handsome. You had felt his face, his strong jawline, his soft, short hair. Despite not being able to see him, there was a feeling in your gut that he was very attractive. 
Without a word, you looked back to the television as he slid the door shut. You heard it lock, then soft footsteps started to come closer to you. The floorboards right behind the sofa creaked. 
“Are you going to stay this time?” You asked, side eyeing the man as he moved around to the side of the sofa. “Because I’m not restarting the movie.” He seemed to hesitate for a moment before he sat down on the other end of the sofa, glancing from you towards the television. “I’ll take that as a yes.” 
Time seemed to creep by extra slow tonight. Maybe it was because you weren’t entangled in a heated, blindfolded make out session with the man like you were before, or maybe it was because no words were being said for the better half of twenty minutes. 
“Are you hungry?” You asked, standing up. “Because I’m getting hungry.” Heading to the kitchen, you left the man sitting alone in front of the television and opened the refrigerator. There were plenty of leftovers inside, but nothing jumped out at you. Your stomach grumbled, but as you searched effortlessly, not even the chips in the pantry sounded good. With a groan of annoyance, you shut the pantry and turned around, though you gave a soft gasp quickly afterwards. “You scared me.” You met his gaze through the mask; somehow he had quietly snuck into the kitchen and stood only a couple of feet away from you. How he’d perfectly avoided every creak in the floorboards you weren’t sure. It was almost as if he knew the layout. Had he been stalking you for that long? “Why are you just looking at me like that?” You asked in an almost annoyed tone. “What are you gonna do, Mr. Ghostface? Kill me?” You were almost patronizing the masked figure that didn’t budge. “I didn’t think so.” 
You walked around the man and walked towards your phone that sat in the living room. There were several messages from your friends, but you chose to ignore those, instead going to your apps and looking for the mobile pizza app. 
When all else failed, a pizza for delivery was never going to disappoint. 
“Are you opposed to pepperoni?” You asked aloud, glancing back towards the kitchen where the man still stood. He gave a small shake of his head, though time time he started to walk into the sitting room with you. “I’m thinking that pizza is kind of the only option here.” Quickly, you selected a medium pepperoni pizza and clicked delivery. Now, you had about twenty more minutes alone with the man before a nice distraction such as food came. 
You went to sit back on the sofa, but the man caught your wrist before you could move. You looked at him, confused. At first, he reached for his pocket. You knew what he was going to do so you tried to hide the disappointment on your face. 
But he shocked you, stopping himself and instead slowly reaching up and adjusting the mask to askew away from his mouth. You frowned at his strange behavior, watching as he slowly leaned in. 
You regained your composure quickly— after all, wasn’t this what you’d been wanting again this whole month? Even a small kiss from the man that you spent your nights daydreaming about. 
So you closed your eyes and tilted your head up. Warm fingers grasped your chin— you hadn’t even noticed he’d taken the black leather gloves he wore off— holding you in place for a shockingly soft kiss. This time, you automatically reached up, hands resting on his shoulders and holding onto his cloak. Your nose brushed the mask, but you didn’t think twice about it, tilting your head to the other side so that you wouldn’t disturb it. 
His warm hand rested behind your head, holding you close to him and deepening the gentle kiss. You swore you felt the same hint of desperateness that you had felt before. His hand moved away from your chin, reaching down to grasp at your waist and pull you snug against him. You gave a soft gasp into his mouth when he abruptly pulled you against him, only giving him the ample opportunity to push his tongue into your mouth. 
Your phone buzzed twice— a message, most likely from your friend that you hadn’t replied to— it was something that you ignored as he gently moved you back only pulling away from a moment to sit on the sofa with you. 
You went to sit beside the man, but he was quick to grasp your hips and pull you onto his lap. Your cheeks flushed and you gave a small, nervous laugh as you shifted against the man. 
“What are you so worried about?” He reached up, pulling the mask off of his face and meeting your, now shocked, eyes with his intense gaze. “You think I can’t handle you or something?” You went to speak, but instead only a small ‘uh’ escaped from your mouth. You were speechless, staring at the man with an open mouth. 
“I… Stu…?” Your shock was quick to turn to annoyance. “Are you fucking around with me right now?” He raised an eyebrow in question quickly. “Somehow, someway, you found out about that night and now you’re just trying to get on my nerves?” 
“You realize that makes absolutely no fucking sense, right?” 
“Yeah, well… well, you make no sense.” He scoffed. 
“Like when?” 
“Like right now. What are you… what are you doing?” 
“What I’ve wanted to do for a really, really long time, and what I’ve been too afraid to do because I was worried… well, I was worried that you wouldn’t… feel the same.” 
“So you dressed up as Ghostface and broke into my house?” He was quiet for a second before giving a slightly awkward laugh. 
“Yeah, uh… that was maybe a little weird.” 
“A little weird?” 
“Hey, you know what, you can’t even deny liking it. I felt how fucking wet you were, you secret little whore.” 
“Hey!” 
“I always knew you were like this.” He spoke over you, fingers gently grasping your hips. “I did this because… I was scared, okay.” He forced out, not meeting your gaze and instead keeping his eyes down on your clothed chest. “I was afraid that you’d hate me if I told you that I had a little… fuck— fine, a huge crush on you.” Your cheeks were warm as he clenched his jaw and sighed. “You already hate me when I’m me. I thought maybe… you wouldn’t hate me if I was someone else.” Your chest fell at his soft tone. 
“I don’t hate you,” you spoke gently. “I never hated you.” 
“You didn’t?” He asked, finally meeting your eyes. 
“No. You get on my nerves sometimes and I really hate how you’re always teasing and pestering me, but I never hated you. I always kind of liked you. Even when you were being obnoxious.” 
“There’s no chance you ever… liked me at all, is there?” 
“I guess I kind of thought you were cute when I first met you. But you seemed uninterested so I just kinda… brushed it off.” You shrugged gently. “Maybe… thinking about you that way again wouldn’t be that hard. I mean… you do make me laugh. And you’re pretty funny. And you do give really good head.” He chuckled. “But did you… did you really kill that girl…?” Stu was quiet for a second too long. You were tense on his lap as his fingers tightened on your waist. “Fuck, Stu— why?” 
“If I told you I’d have to kill you.” He was joking, you knew that, but things were too tense for you to laugh at him. After all, you were finding out someone you had sat next to for years now was a murderer. “I’m joking.” He said when you didn’t laugh. “I’d never hurt you.” 
“Could I really trust that?” You asked softly. 
“I guess I can’t expect you to. But I can tell you that I wouldn’t anyways. And if I wanted to, I already would have. You and Billy are my best friends. I wouldn’t ever hurt my best friend.” 
“Does Billy know?” Stu hesitated for a second before giving a gentle nod. 
“But you can’t tell him that you know. He’d be pissed if he found out that I was here now. Or that I’d ever come here in the first place. I couldn’t stay last time because I had to go but… just don’t tell Billy.” 
“Is Billy… like this, too?” He was quiet, giving you your answer. But neither of you said anything. With a sigh, you looked down and shut your eyes. Warm fingers gently grasped your chin. 
“Listen, I know that this is a lot of information to take in. I didn��t want to tell you, but I don’t really like keeping secrets from you. It’s hard not to tell you whatever you’re asking when you look at me like that.” 
“Like what?” 
“I don’t know, you just have this look.” 
“Are you calling me intimidating?” 
“If the shoe fits.” He shrugged. “Sometimes it feels like you can just see right through me.” 
“After this past week of me being around you and not having a single clue that you were the masked stranger that broke into my house and gave me the best fuck I’ve ever had… I don’t think you’re really that transparent anymore. Sorry that I ever called you that in the first place. That was kind of mean.” Stu sent you a smile, a cute one. You knew that it should be different, but you were seeing Stu in a completely different light— and not a bad one. 
“Call it water under the bridge.” 
“What… happens now, Stu?” You asked, almost hesitantly. “Do we just go back to hanging out with Billy and pretend that this entire thing never happened?” With a soft hum, Stu gently squeezed your hips in his hands. 
“Maybe you’d let me… take you out and we could see what happens when I’m not just some masked stranger breaking into your house anymore. If you want.” You were quiet for a moment, eyeing the man with a nearly unreadable look on your face. Stu swallowed hard as you gently cupped his face in your hands and gave a soft hum. You leaned in and pressed a soft, quick kiss to his lips; when you pulled back his eyes were closed and lips still puckered. He sent you a disappointed look when he opened his eyes, but it was quick to change when you spoke. 
“I think I’d like that.” 
“You’re so pretty like this.” Immediately, you felt your face flush as you looked down. “Without the mask on and the blindfold covering these pretty eyes I can really see you.” He gently gripped your chin and made you look at him. “God… I always knew you had this intimidating look, but you never let me look at you like this. I could look at you like this forever.” Scoffing, you pushed his hand off and looked away again. 
“Quit buttering me up, I already told you I’d go out with you.” Stu gave a soft laugh and leaned in to press a chaste kiss to your neck. 
“Can’t you just let me be nice to you?” 
“No, it’s weird.” 
“It’s only weird if you let it be weird.” With a soft huff, you forced yourself to meet his intense gaze again. 
“I’ve never thought of you like this before, I always kind of pictured you as a brother or a really weird friend. Thinking about you this way is… different. And you looking at me like that it’s just… you’ve never looked at me like that before.” 
“Not that you ever saw.” 
“What do you mean?” 
“I mean you’re oblivious. I’ve always looked at you like this.” 
“I think that I would have noticed if you stared at me like… that.” 
“Well, you didn’t.” 
“The whole time?” With a soft laugh, Stu nodded his head. 
“The whole time.” 
“How didn’t I ever notice?” You asked with a frown. “I know I don’t always see things like that but… this feels hard to miss.” By the end of your sentence you spoke so softly Stu had barely heard you. He gave a soft laugh and shook his head. 
“I asked myself that question all of the time. But I was too worried you’d kick me out of your house if I ever came over alone. The easiest way to keep you from noticing was to have Sidney or Tatum around so you’d be distracted.” Stu sighed. “I don’t think you could ever really understand how pretty you look when you think nobody is watching you.”
“I wouldn’t have kicked you out— if you had ever come alone. Who knows, maybe I would have… noticed and you wouldn’t have had to go through all of this trouble in the first place” 
“Don’t you get it?” He laughed softly. “I’d do this over and over and over again if it meant that it would end up with you sitting on my lap like this. It doesn’t matter if we had to redo this entire life all over again, I’d always do whatever it took to get you here with me.” 
“And if we didn’t end up in the same life?” You rolled your eyes playfully. 
“Then I would find you and I’d get you like this in that life, too.” He said confidently. “There’s something about you that draws me to you like nobody else ever has. Maybe that’s what it feels like to meet a soulmate. You believe in that kind of thing or do I sound like a dick-jerking idiot right now?” You laughed, making the man smile at the sound. 
“I never really believed in soulmates, but hey— anything is possible, right?” You shrugged. “I never thought I would have liked a stranger breaking into my house and fucking me, but here we are.” 
“Awe, you wanted me to come back.” He teased you. 
“I did.” You said softly. “I thought about you a lot. Not just sexually, but… I just wanted to know you.” 
“You’re crazy.” 
“Maybe.” 
“I like that.” 
“Men like you always like crazy girls.” 
“But not smash a window with a tv and run my car into a tree crazy. You’re more like “Let’s go into that haunted, abandoned building and see if we get shanked by an old homeless guy who needs cash for cocaine.”” 
“You were the one that said there were probably homeless people on crack in that building.” Stu laughed and shook his head. 
“Remember how annoyed Billy was?” 
“I remember showing up to his party late and getting called an idiot for dragging you into that, but it was you the entire time who dragged me into it.” You snickered. With a dramatic gasp, Stu covered his chest. 
“I would never put someone so pretty in danger of getting stabbed by an old man on cocaine.” 
“Well, it wasn’t me.” Stu gave a quiet sigh and shook his head. 
“Alright, fine— it was my fault. I’ll admit it.” 
“I think you’re maturing.” You teased the man who sent you a small, genuine smile. 
“You bring out the better side of me.” 
“That was cheesy.” You said, but you were quick to flush and look down. 
“You know you liked it.” 
“Maybe.” 
“You know, I meant what I said.” Quirking an eyebrow, you met his gaze again. 
“What do you mean?” 
“I really think that… that I’d find you in any life we could ever live in. Even if you lived across the earth. You’re some… god, I sound like a fucking dick-wad right now.” He sighed and shook his head. “You’re someone I think I was meant to be with. You really do bring out a better side of me. You know how you made that joke about romantic tropes in movies where they always end up finding each other because they just meant to be?” You nodded. “I think that could be us.” 
“You really think so?” 
“A guy like me will always need a girl like you. I think I’m lucky I ever met you. And I think I’m even luckier that… you wanted me around. Even if it was just a little bit. You could have chosen Billy. You could have wanted Randy. You could have even been with Sidney or Tatum, but… it’s not them here. And it wasn’t ever them that you looked at like this.” Despite your embarrassment, you sighed and kept eye contact with the man. He was looking at you differently now. Almost as if he was desperate for you to validate that what he was saying was true. 
“I think girls like me need guys like you around. Sometimes I’m too serious. You help lighten the mood. Without you I… well, I forget to think of the little things. Like laughing at myself when I slip in the snow or being able to make a joke about an insecurity. You help keep me lighthearted. I’ve always liked that about you.” 
“You know, if things don’t go well on our date, I don’t want things to be awkward. I don’t want you to not talk to me again thinking it ruined our friendship.” 
“Honestly Stu,” you gave a soft laugh and shook your head as you spoke, “I don’t think it’s possible for me to ever look at you again and not think about you telling me you’d find me in some parallel universe.” He gave an awkward chuckle and finally broke eye contact to look away. “What, are you embarrassed?” You teased, earning a playful eye roll from him. 
“Shove it, would ya?” Laughing, you leaned in and pressed your head against his shoulder. 
“Come on, Stu. Like I could ever forget this.” 
“I almost wish you would.” Gently, you reached up and grasped onto his shirt and held it tight between your fingers. 
“I don’t want to.” 
“So what you’re saying is… that, in a parallel universe, you’d find me, too?” 
“I’d spend my whole life wanting to feel this… content.” He hummed and pressed a kiss to your head before he sighed and laid his head back on the sofa. “I’ve been waiting for this forever.” 
“You have no fucking idea how long I’ve been waiting for this.” With a small smile, you leaned up and quickly pressed a kiss to Stu’s cheek. 
“I think I have an inkling.”

REQUEST: Hi! I really love your works, if its alright with you, can I please request Enid Sinclair with a human/normie s/o who she loves very much but her s/o is being stalked by their crazy ex-girlfriend who wants them back and also happens to be a werewolf. — anon
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hiiiiii!! Thank you so so much for the ask, this is adorable! I didn't know if you wanted a fic or headcanons, so I kind of mashed them up and did both!! I hope you enjoy this and let me know if you'd like it in a different format! NOTE: E/n = ex's name
PAIRING: enid sinclair x gn!reader WARNINGS: crazy ex-girlfriends, fighting, stalking
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Needless to say, it's a pretty big deal when someone at Nevermore gets involved with a Normie.
Some might even say it's taboo, but everyone knows that the Normie gets the short end of the stick nine times out of ten.
So when another werewolf and you start dating, our lovely Queen of Gossip Enid knows from the very beginning
She's super into the relationship despite never having met you — she'll always ask for updates or to see photos of the two of you
But she can't deny the blushy, crushy feeling she gets whenever she sees you
Of course, she covers it up with things like "Oh my God, they're gorgeous!" or "You guys look so cute together!", but it doesn't do much to stave off the way her heart speeds up every time she sees you in photos
Enid figures out pretty quickly that she possibly maybe sort of has the sliiiiiightest crush on you. But you were dating her friend, and that meant you were off-limits.
So Enid did what she could to stave off all those giggly, fuzzy feelings she gets whenever she thinks about you
It didn't really work that well but whatever
Enid was so busy trying to stamp down her feelings that she completely missed your relationship turning sour
That's why it came as such a surprise to her when you broke up with her friend out of the blue
Enid put everything she had into being there for her friend — giving her tissues when she cried, planning fun movie nights to take her mind off of you
And all good feelings she had towards you dissolved the moment you made her friend cry
So when she saw you at the Weathervane one day while she was out in Jericho, she was ready to give you a piece of her mind
As she walked towards you, she wrote an entire monologue in her head, ready to spit fire, but then she heard a sob.
Enid's prepared speech melted away the moment she heard a stifled sniff. Even though she could only see the back of you head, she could tell that your body was wracked with sobs. She blanched. She couldn't yell at someone who was already crying! The vision of E/n crying tried to push its way to the forefront of her mind, screaming "Hey, I'm here! Remember me?" But you were right there. So close and so broken. In that moment she resolved to swallow any venom she was prepared to spit at you. After taking a deep breath, she stepped up until she was beside you in the booth.
"Y/n?" she said, trying to keep her voice calm and gentle.
You looked up, your face red and puffy, confusion taking the place of sadness for a moment. "Sorry, do I know you?" you asked. Enid was taken aback by how polite you sounded. From the way E/n had told it, she expected you to sound much more harsh.
"I'm Enid Sinclair. I'm friends with E/n." she introduced.
That only seemed to make you feel worse. "Oh," was all you said, eyes shifting away from her and into space.
Enid hurried to lighten things up. "Can I sit?"
You said nothing but nodded, prompting her to slide into the booth across from you. She tapped her nails on the table a couple times, trying to figure out just where to go from here. "I go to Nevermore, by the way." was all she came up with.
"I know," you replied. "You followed me on Instagram a few weeks ago."
"Oh, yeah! I saw your post from the bowling alley a couple weeks ago, I really liked how you did your hair—"
"I'm sorry, Enid, I'm just a little confused." you gently interrupted her. "Why are you sitting with me? I should think that you'd be angry with me for breaking up with your friend."
Enid paused. She chose her next words carefully, not wanting to scare you away with the truth. "I was. But then I heard you crying and I figured you didn't need a virtual stranger getting mad at you. I wanted to make sure you were okay."
Now that you weren't expecting. More tears rushed to your eyes as she spoke. "You...just want to know if I'm okay?" you asked, relieved.
And Enid just nodded. So you told her everything.
For the first time, Enid gets the whole story of your relationship, start to finish. From the time you met at a party in Jericho to the night you broke up, she hears about every date, every fight, every detail you had to offer.
And it's way different than what she had heard from E/n.
While E/n claimed that you had broken up with them out of the blue, you told her that you had broken up because she had been showing up at your house, at your school, at your work out of the blue with no warning.
She even began to show up at places you hadn't told her you were going to be, like the time you decided to head to the Weathervane for a quick coffee and found that E/n had showed up just moments before you, hoping to catch up.
Eventually it started to creep you out a little too much and you decided to break things off
Things started to make sense for Enid, and the picture became a little clearer.
And after you told the whole story, Enid sensed that you needed a quick pick-me-up, so she invited you shopping with her
And shopping with Enid is...an experience
She turns into a personal stylist for you, pulling out thing after thing that she thinks you would look good in — and she always has a reason
"Ooooh, look at this! Emerald green would bring out your eyes."
"This shade of blue will compliment your skin tone so well, just trust me."
She gets you giggling and smiling and it makes her feel like she's on top of the world
You make plans that day to do this again, much to Enid's excitement
You exchange numbers and head your opposite ways
Enid goes back to Nevermore feeling like she's on Cloud 9...at least until she runs into your ex.
"Where have you been?"
Enid freezes when a voice speaks from behind her. Oh no. She turns slowly on her heel, giving E/n an overzealous smile. "Oh, hey, E/n! I was, um, just out at the Weathervane for a coffee. I would've brought you something back, but I didn't know what you liked."
E/n seems to take the lie as she shrugs. "Oh, fun. Hey, you still down for dinner in the courtyard?"
An invisible tension releases from Enid's shoulders. "Yeah, definitely." she says, giving E/n a smile.
She smiles back. "Cool. See ya later!"
E/n walks away as Enid mumbles a freaked-out "See ya," before turning and racing back to her dorm.
It's then that she decides to keep your meetings a secret.
She doesn't want to hurt E/n's feelings, and she definitely doesn't want to make things worse for you, so the only reasonable option was to lie, right?
RIGHT?????????
This is the kind of stuff that eats Enid up — the moral gray area of Is this right or is it wrong?
It's the kind of stuff that leaves her lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out what to do next.
And every time she draws a blank
This whole thing haunts her right up until the day you agreed to meet up again.
You find her in a booth at the Weathervane that Saturday — she already ordered your drink, which she remember from looking at the cup you had the day you met (that's the kind of stuff that she remembers and never forgets)
This time you show her all your favorite things in Jericho — your favorite park, your house, your favorite landmarks
And when it's over and she needs to get back to Nevermore, you make plans to hang out again
Then that hang out comes and passes, and you decide to hang out again. And again. And again.
And suddenly Enid starts to wonder if this is more than just "hanging out."
"Hey, Y/n? Can I ask you a question?" she says out of the blue one day while you're walking around a park.
"Shoot."
"Say there are two friends, and they hang out all the time. I mean, all the time. And one of them kinda likes the other, but they don't know if the other likes them back, but they don't know how to ask...what should they do?" Enid says, her chest seizing with panic.
You pause, brows knit. "Hm." you say, frowning at nothing. "I dunno. Tell them, I guess. I think being straightforward is the best thing you can do in that situation."
Enid nods and you two continue to walk in silence. After a moment, you go to speak, "Hey, did I ever show you—"
"I like you!" Enid blurts out, cutting you off. You stop, but she keeps going. "I was talking about me when I asked that question. I really like you, Y/n, and sometimes I think you might like me too, but I never really know these things for sure, so I just sit and think about it a lot but then I wonder if I'm reading too much into things that that's never good, but then you said to be straightforward about it and—"
"Enid!" you shout, trying to make sure she can take a breath. She stops, looking back at you with terrified eyes. And, to her surprise, you smile. "I like you too."
She falters. "Y-You do?" she stutters in disbelief.
"I do," you confirm.
She doesn't know what to say. She didn't plan this far. "Okay!" she says. "Okay! So. Um. How do we—do you want to—or like, we don't have to, but—"
"Would you like to go on a date with me?" you ask.
And she just smiles. "Yes, I would. When?"
"Hm, how about..." you trail off, looking around. "Now?"
"Now?"
"Mhm."
Enid looks back at you in shock. "So this...this is a date now?"
"Only if you want it to be." you laugh.
She smiles even wider. "Yeah. Yes. I want it to be."
"Well then, come on," you say, beckoning her to keep walking with you. "I think there's a creek in the woods I forgot to show ya."
And, beaming like the sun, Enid follows.
Enid is just about the most thoughtful girlfriend ever
She remembers your birthday, your mom's birthday, your sibling's birthday, your pet's birthday, your anniversary, and any special date you mention. Ever.
She'll show up to a date with flowers and a little gift for some occasion you hadn't even known was happening.
"Happy two and a half week anniversary!" "Oh! I didn't know we were celebrating." "That's okay! I just like visiting the flower shop down the street."
She's also suuuuuper cuddly and will hold onto you wherever you go
She knits you gloves and sweaters and scarves and snoods and anything you request
And while she can't invite you to any dance seeing as you're keeping your relationship a secret from E/n, she'll host makeshift dances in which she'll force you out of your room for a couple minutes while she decorates it with streamers and a disco ball and hauls in a speaker
Then, she'll pull you onto the 'dance floor' (your bedroom floor) and dance with you until you're both on the verge of collapse
For a couple months, everything is perfect. You're perfect, and Enid spends almost every second in awe of you.
But, of course, the past always comes back to haunt us
Enid notices one day that you've been growing slightly distant. You would space out in conversation and never respond with more than a couple words. She would've been hurt if she hadn't been worried about you.
She never pried other than the occasional "You sure you're okay?", which you'd brush off anyway.
But everything comes to a head the night you have a panic attack while you're hanging out with Enid in your room and she pulls you into her arms as you sob. At that point, you couldn't hide what was going on.
"Enid, I...I don't feel safe anymore." you told her one night. E/n was showing up everywhere you went, even more now than she had before. She would ambush you on your way to school, begging you to take her back despite your intentions otherwise. She seemed to always be one step ahead, and you were beginning to panic.
And as Enid sat there, holding you tightly and running gentle fingers through your hair, she made up her mind: "I'm going to make this stop."
You looked up at her, eyes wide. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet, but I can promise you that E/n is never going to bother you again."
"Enid, stop." you say, pulling way and sitting up. "You don't have to get in the middle of this. I never wanted you to get involved and I don't want you to get hurt because of me." you say as more tears begin to stream down your face.
"Hey, look at me," Enid says, taking your face gently in her hands. "I just want you to feel safe. I'm not going to do anything bad, I'm just going to talk to her and try to figure things out, but I won't bring you into it. I promise. I'm going to fix this, okay?"
And, reluctantly, you nod. Enid smiles, kissing the top of your head and pulling you in for a long hug. As she held you, she used her finger to lightly trace something on your back: I LOVE YOU. She did that quite a lot, mostly because she was afraid to say it aloud. But it was true, she loved you. And she'd go to war for you if that was what it took.
You'll never forget the day Enid walked up to you at your usual booth at the Weathervane with a smile on her face as she sat opposite you
"E/n won't be bothering you any more." she said simply, taking a sip of the coffee you had ordered her.
You just frowned in confusion. "Enid, what did you do?"
"Don't worry about it." she said nonchalantly.
After a few more attempts to get her to spill what she had done, you realized she wasn't going to give up. So you settled on a smile as you watched Enid innocently sip her coffee.
"Hey, Enid?" you said, smiling at her. "I love you, too."
And right then, all Enid knew how to do was smile.

Can I ask Zen (Mystic messenger) x reader, romantic 🧚‍♂️✨ I just love him so much and I miss him 😞
Thank you so much, no pressure! Love your blog <33
Tumblr media
[You & I event - entries closed!]
A/N: Thank you very muuuch! I'm happy you enjoy my blog hehe. And omg I miss the mystic boys so much too! I've been wanting to play again, but mystic is so draining omg. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this!
Words: 1k+
Tumblr media
You weren't the jealous type. You knew perfectly well that Zen had many fans who loved him unconditionally, whether it was because of his talent or his beauty or both. You loved Zen too, not just for what everyone saw, but also for everything he really was. His fears and insecurities, his joys, dreams and goals, you had the joy of enjoying that and more. It was simply unnecessary to feel jealous when you had a Zen that no one knew. 
But you were also human and, famous or not, Zen was your beloved boyfriend, so maybe it was normal to feel a little jealous from time to time, right? Especially when certain ladies had no shame. 
It was a little cold that day, but you and Zen decided to have a small picnic on his day off. Zen was excited, it had been a long time since he had the opportunity to enjoy a whole day with you and you were too. You had missed him and you hoped to enjoy that picnic until the last moment. 
Everything was going well. Zen had decided that the theme of your picnic would be autumn, your outfits matched, and the coffee was still hot. Many photos had been taken and there was still time before leaving. Everything was perfect, until you noticed a group of girls sitting right next to you two.
At first you didn't care about it, you had a lot of other things to do with your boyfriend, but after a while, you couldn't help but notice the furtive glances they were giving to Zen. Their eyes shone when they saw him and they giggled like silly girls, whispering who knows what to each other. 
Maybe because you hadn't spent quality time with Zen in a while, these girls' behavior made you a little angry. And that possessive side that usually didn't come out, vibrated inside you. It was pretty obvious that you and Zen were in a relationship, but if these ladies didn't realize it, then you were more than happy to show them. 
"You look so handsome today," you said, loud enough for the girls to hear you. "These colors really suit you."
Zen looked at you with bright eyes, the most adorable blush spreading across his cheeks. "A-Ah, jagiya, you already said that! You just want to make me feel shy, don't you?" He giggled shyly, covering his beautiful smile with one of his hands. 
You smiled tenderly, grabbing his hand and chuckling when the ladies gasped. 
"I'm just telling the truth, Zenny. You are so handsome, how can I be so lucky to date someone like you?"
Zen laughed, his fair skin getting more pink as he held your hand back. "N-Nohow, why are you acting like this? Do you want my face to explode? Really, you!" He hid his smile with his free hand and you pouted. 
"Why do you keep hiding your smile, hmm?" You reached out to squeeze his side, making him squeal as he brought his arm down. "I want to see it!" You said, squeezing him again. 
"Ahahaha! J-Jagiyahah! Stohop teheasing me! You know I'm very ticklish!"
Your cheeks flushed. Oh, how could he be so adorable?! He would basically brush it off whenever someone complimented him, but if you did, he would become a blushy, giggly mess like this. 
You almost forgot that you were putting on a show for your spectators, you smirked, letting go of Zen's hand to grab his thin waist, making him squeak and giggle brightly as you started tickling him. 
"Ah, you certainly are very ticklish, huh? I think it just slipped my mind!" 
"N-Nohoho! Hohohonehehey! This ihihis unfahahair!" He giggled, trying to fight your tickly hands, but failing miserably as he fell on his back against the beautiful blanket under you both. 
"This is your fault, Zenny. You were hiding your precious smile from me! Now, I deserve to see it." Your hands traveled to his ribs and he kicked his legs with a cackle. 
"Not thehehere, nohohot there! You've seheheheen my s-smihihile!" He grabbed your arms, weakly pushing at them. "Nohohot my rihihibs plehehease!"
You giggled at his reaction. You were being gentle, just squeezing and poking here and there, but Zen was simply too ticklish for his own good. Agh, you needed to take a picture of his cute laughing face! 
"I have, indeed, but now I want to see it even more! Should I tickle you up here?" 
Zen shrieked when one of your hands moved higher, from his ribs towards his armpit. He pressed his arms tightly to his sides, not wanting to give you any space to climb to his weakest spot.
Zen shook his head, laughing nearly hysterically. "Plehehease! Anywhehehere but thehehere! Y-You knohohow I cahan get pretty lohohoud! Plehehease, Jahagiyaha!" 
You laughed, moving your hands back down to tickle his ribs. "Stop being so cute! You'll make me want to tickle you even more!" 
"I'll dihihihie!" 
Despise your words, your fingers actually slowed down until they stopped completely, and as Zen caught his breath, you leaned down and captured his lips in a kiss. He had to pull apart quickly, however, feeling breathless after laughing so much.
"You okay, baby?" You ask softly, brushing his bangs back. "Do you need some water? Let me just- haah! Z-Zen!"
You squeaked in surprise when Zen suddenly grabbed your waist and changed positions, now him hovering you with a wide smirk. You gulped, looking up at him with wide eyes. 
"Now, silly baby, don't think I didn't notice you were doing all of that because those girls were looking at us."
You quickly looked over at the girls and were surprised when you found they were gone! You had completely forgotten about them while you were tickling Zen! How disappointing. 
You huffed, trying to ignore the heat covering your cheeks as you looked back at him. "They were look at you and, I remind you, you are mine." 
His cheeks surely turned red and he stuttered a bit before he spoke again: "O-Of course I'm yours! And that's why you don't have to feel jealous! You're acting silly and for that…" 
"N-Nohohahaha! I'm sorry! I'm sohohohorry!" 
Zen chucked, "oh, yes you will very sorry right after I'm done with you!" 
You deserved it, but it didn't matter, Zen could tickle you until he was satisfied because at the end of the day, he was yours and you were his!

TIAM IS Side Stories: Lessons Learned
Tumblr media
To one of the people that asked about the Tzuyu getting a slice of OC. I lied. Anyway let's all learn a bit about Tzuyu's character. This also takes place during the time skip.
Length 1.5K
One night back at the dorms, Chaeyoung had left her phone out. Deciding to have a little fun by changing Chaeyoung’s phone background Tzuyu looked through possible photos to use. She grew shocked when she saw pictures of the sessions you and Chaeyoung had shared. Chaeyoung had told her of the time you two spent together, but Tzuyu didn’t know Chaeyoung had pictures of the sessions on her phone. Looking through the various photos of Chaeyoung in the throes of ecstasy because of your cock, Tzuyu couldn’t help but get aroused imagining what exactly the two of you must’ve done together. As Tzuyu heard Chaeyoung coming back, she put down her phone and acted as if she saw nothing. Tzuyu would struggle to sleep that night, constantly thinking about those pictures.
A few days later, you came home early; you found the house empty besides Chaeyoung. She immediately took advantage of the fact you were alone with her. You used her as a cocksleeve for a while before; eventually, the two of you became tired. Chaeyoung would step out to take a shower while you wandered into the kitchen to get something to drink. The sound of the front door opening catches your attention; as you poke your head into the living room, you see that Tzuyu has arrived.  “Oh, hi, Tzuyu. Welcome home.”
“Happy to be home. You’re here early.” She says with a pure smile.
“Yeah, I had a short day today. How did your day go?”
“I had a good day. Why are you just poking your head out?” Said Tzuyu as she noticed you were not going to come out. 
“Oh, sorry.” You come around the corner and ruffle her hair a little. Tzuyu had always taken a shine to you and enjoyed things like this. She giggles as she tries to pat down her hair. It was then that she remembered the pictures she had seen earlier. 
As the two of you were alone now, Tzuyu asked, “Can I ask you for a favor?” 
“Yeah, what did you need?”
Tzuyu taps her fingertips together. “I don’t- I don’t want this to sound too weird.”
Seeing her struggle to get her words out, you have some slight concern. “Is everything alright, Tzuyu? You’re not in trouble, are you?” Tzuyu sits next to you as she tries to think of what to say. 
“N-no, it’s just. You know how much I trust you, and I don’t want to ask the members, but… can you? Can you show me how to…. I want to….” Tzuyu struggles to get her words out. “I don’t have much experience like the other members. Can you help me with that?”
You do a double take as you try to ensure you heard her right. “Tzuyu, do you mean what I think you mean?”
Tzuyu nods her head. “I want to learn more about sex…from you.”
“I-Tzuyu, I can’t. I mean…” As you look at Tzuyu, you see the desperation in her eyes. 
“Please?” She says in a soft voice.
You sigh in response; you can’t wholly deny her. “Tzuyu, I’m not going to have sex with you, but I’ll try to show you a few things. There will be no penetration. Alright?”
Tzuyu nods, “That’s fine; I just want some experience.”
“Then I guess we should take our clothes off so I can teach you.” You say with hesitancy in your voice. You and Tzuyu slowly strip off your clothes right then and there. She covers her body with her hands, feeling a little embarrassed at having you look at her body. “Tzuyu, just sit on my lap to make this a little easier. Let me handle this a little.” Tzuyu nods and sits on your lap. “Lean back a little and spread your legs; get comfortable. I want you to enjoy this as much as possible.” Tzuyu does as she’s told; you place your head on her shoulder and tell her you’re going to start, so she should pay some attention. Your hand nervously runs down her body until you reach her lower lips. Tzuyu gasps as you touch her private area. Your hands slowly trace her lips, outlining them. You feel Tzuyu get wet as you continue to tease her. Soon though, you move to her entrance, “Tzuyu, I’m going to go inside, okay?”
“O-okay.” As she confirms, you slip two fingers inside of her. Tzuyu arcs her back and moans as your fingers push deep inside her. She tries to cover her mouth to stop her moans from escaping.
Your other hand moves to Tzuyu’s breasts, gently squeezing them. “Tzuyu, it’s okay. This is natural; just let it out.” She removes her hand and lets her moans go free. “How does it feel, Tzuyu?”
Through her moans, she says, “It feels so good; please don’t stop.” You curl your fingers slightly as you push deeper into her, massaging her walls. Tzuyu’s head rolls back as the pleasure intensifies. Tzuyu starts to grind against you as she has trouble controlling her body. As she rubs against you, your cock starts to get hard and press against her ass. “Fuck, fuck,” Tzuyu groans as she cums over your fingers. Her chest heaves as she tries to recover from her orgasm.
“Did you enjoy that, Tzuyu?” 
“Yeah, yeah, I did.” Tzuyu feels your cock pressed against her and asks, “I want to learn how to make someone feel good. Please.”
“Okay, Tzuyu, kneel in front of me.” Tzuyu staggers to her feet before kneeling in front of you. As she gets a good look at your cock, her mouth drops. 
“It’s so big.” Her hand reaches out hesitantly before recoiling back.
“It’s okay, Tzuyu, you can touch it. It’s a part of your lesson. It’ll be a handjob.” With your permission Tzuyu grabs your cock, her soft hands squeezing it gently. You coo as she unconsciously does long, slow strokes. “That’s it, Tzuyu; you’re doing great.” Tzuyu smiles, hearing you praise her despite her inexperience. You feel more aroused as you look at the cute woman below you, enjoying herself while stroking your cock. Tzuyu starts to get more interested in your cock; she licks her lips. While she does feel hungrier for more, she restricts herself to just the handjob. She speeds up her strokes and grips your cock harder. Being a little sensitive from the earlier session with Chaeyoung, you feel your orgasm approach. “Fuck, Tzuyu, hold on. I’m going to cum.” However, it was too late, as your cum spurted out and hit Tzuyu’s face. As it runs down her cheek, Tzuyu uses her finger to get some and taste it. 
Innocently she asks you afterward, “Did I do a good job?”
Patting her head, you heap praise upon her. “You did a great job Tzuyu, really good for the first time.” Tzuyu smiles at you, her face still having some of your cum. The two of you couldn’t stay in that position too long as you heard the sound of the water from the shower turning off. 
Tzuyu hears it, too; her eyes go wide, and she tells you, “We can’t let anyone know, come on,” picking up both of your clothes, she hurries off to the spare room Jeongyeon would usually use. As the two of you hurry to get your clothes on, Tzuyu explains, “Can we keep this a secret between us? These lessons, I mean. I don’t want anyone to know.”
“Sure, Tzuyu, I can keep this a secret, but I think you should tell Jihyo.”
“No, at least not yet. This will stay between us.” As you put your clothes on, you notice Tzuyu isn’t doing the same instead she’s slowly getting all the cum off her face. Savoring the taste of it as she sucks on her fingers.
“Tzuyu. Come on we have to get out so Chaeyoung doesn’t suspect something.” Tzuyu snaps out of her daze and starts putting on her clothes as well as making sure everything is in place. Once you’re both ready you step out and make your way to the kitchen just in time to act like nothing happened. Along the way, Tzuyu opened her mouth as wide as she could, in her mind debating if she could fit your cock in her mouth. Chaeyoung would walk in a moment later, and you and Tzuyu would look at each other as you hoped Chaeyoung wouldn’t suspect a thing. 
“What are you two doing standing around?”
“We’re thinking about what to make for dinner.” Answered Tzuyu without missing a beat. You eyed her as she acted as if nothing had happened between you. Chaeyoung was placated by Tzuyu’s answer and started to suggest to you what should be for dinner.
In her mind, though, Tzuyu was thinking about her new experience. “I’ve never felt like that before, and his cum was so salty, but I couldn’t get enough of it. I wonder what his cock tastes like. Would it even fit in my mouth?” A smile came over her face as she thought about it more. “I wonder what he’ll teach me next. Whatever it is, I can’t wait for our next lesson.”

You were just lying on a lounger by the public pool, trying to get a bit of a tan before you had to go back home in two days. You and Mason had been here for a week now, spending some time alone in Santorini during his summer break.
For the last week, Mason had planned everything, to take you to the most beautiful places and go to a fancy restaurant in the evenings. But he also planned things that he knew you would like. Like going into the city and helping you take thousands of photos of the whitewashed buildings and the blue-domed churches. Even if it took you a lot of convincing to get him to pose for a few photos too, which you then would save in your phone forever. You also took a look inside some of the churches and houses, realizing that they were still beautiful, but nothing compared to their façade.
Mason also took you on the famous hike from Oia to Fira, something he knew you would enjoy as you loved to see things that so many others were talking about and make up your own mind. Although it wasn’f his favourite activity, despite being a professional athlete, he complained more about his aching legs than you could ever imagine. But to end the day on a positive note for both of you, he booked a wonderful dinner for you. Overlooking the sea, you could watch the sky turn fiery orange and red while eating as much feta cheese as you could.
For the last three days of your vacation, he didn’t plan anything and let you decide all by yourself what you wanted to do. But since there was nothing that could make this holiday even better, you decided to lie in bed and spend half of the day alone, and the other half of the day lying by the pool. It was safe to say that this holiday was absolutely perfect already.
The only thing he would have changed would have been another place with its own pool. Because this resort only had one pool for all the guests together. That was why he had to lie on the lounger next to you for the second day now and watch you through his sunglasses without being able to touch you, as he didn’t want to cause a scandal. But he quickly realised that he wasn’t the only one watching you either, as he could see the men’s eyes lingering on your bikini-clad body for far too long. Whether they were walking by or sitting on the other side of the pool. Even the ones sitting next to women they were obviously in a relationship with, stared at you, which more than annoyed him.
“Masey?” you snapped him out of his thoughts with your soft voice, his gaze immediately went to his left where you lay holding your now empty cocktail. “Yes?” He was sitting on his own lounger, looking down at you with furrowed brows because the sunlight was shining into his sunglasses from the side.
“Can you get me another one? Please?” you asked, your lips twisting into a pout, even though you knew he wouldn’f say no if you asked him anyway. He wasn’t able to see your eyes as they were also covered by sunglasses, but he could tell right away what they would look like. You looked at him with puppy dog eyes, something he could never resist and that made him smile every time, just like now.
“Because you’re too lazy to go yourself, or because I’m paying for it?” he asked, but he was already taking the empty glass from your hand anyway and swinging his legs over the lounger so that he was sitting on it facing you properly. “Mmm… both.” you pretended to think for a second, and your words made him smile down at you even more now.
Before he could leave, you also sat up and took the sunglasses from your eyes, causing you to squint them for a few seconds to get used to the bright light. You then took the sunglasses from his eyes, taking them off completely, for now that his long hair was gone, it would not stay in there. When they were gone and you could see his beautiful honey-brown eyes looking at you again, you had to smile sincerely, not able to hold it back.
“You’re so pretty, you know.” you murmured, leaning forward and resting your hand on his shoulder to give him a kiss on the apple of his cheek. It was now even redder in response to your words, because hearing you call him pretty was definitely one of his favourite things ever, even if he wouldn’t admit it.
“Is this your way of flirting with me so you can persuade me to buy you a drink?” he tried to wipe away the smile on his face, watching you laugh and shake your head in response. Which caused him to raise his eyebrows questioningly.
“Because there’s no need to persuade you.” you added, pressing another kiss to the corner of his mouth. Before picking up his sunglasses again and carefully placing them back on his face. “A mojito, please.” you patted his arm and lay back down, your sunglasses now covering your own eyes again.
“Careful, or I won’t get you anything, love.” he tutted, which you only replied to with a cheeky smile on your lips. Mason rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses and leaned down to kiss you gently on the shoulder. He took one last look at you and the yellow bikini you were wearing, which showed off your skin colour — and your breasts — perfectly.
“Be right back.” he said, groaning and stretching as he stood up, and you were sure he was doing it just to tease you. As you could see exactly how his biceps flexed and how the waistband of his calvins stood out. You also knew he knew your eyes were on him as he walked over to the bar, his shoulder muscles twitching with every move he made. But when he turned to look at you, you quickly looked away with a smile because you didn’t want him to catch you staring, even though that wasn’t unusual.
When Mason ordered the drink, he stood with his back to the bar and watched you while he waited for your drink. His gaze wandered up and down your body the whole time. He saw the smile and the stress-free look on your face, which was definitely one of his favourites, knowing how much you needed the relaxation and escape from everyday life. Down to your breasts, which peeked out almost too much from the material of your bikini for his liking, when other men were around and staring at you too. Further down to your hips. The way you lay there, perfectly showing off the curves of your body.
But his line of sight was suddenly disrupted when someone walked in front of you and sat down on the lounger next to you where Mason had been sitting just a few minutes ago. Jaw clenched, he watched from the bar as the guy sat there talking to you for what felt like an eternity. And the fact that he couldn’t see your reaction to it didn’t make it any better for him. He was used to people hitting on you, it was normal when someone had a girlfriend as attractive as you, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t jealous from time to time.
Mason was once again interrupted in his staring as he saw the drink slide down beside his arm out of the corner of his eye. He mumbled a small “thank you” before taking quick steps towards where you were. The conversation stopped as Mason came to a halt in front of the loungers, standing so close that he blocked out the sun.
“Here.” he handed you your drink, but his gaze stayed on the guy sitting across from you, looking at Mason with furrowed brows. Obviously he didn’t stare long enough to work out who he was, or he just didn’t care. Either way, the fact that he didn’t budge irritated him even more. He wanted to be as polite as possible, but after a week of other men begging for your attention, he was finding it difficult.
“You’re in my way.” said Mason to him, earning only a raised eyebrow and a smirk in response before the guy turned his face to look at you again.
“I’ll be here until Sunday. Think about it.” he winked at you and Mason was about to snap until he finally got up and walked away with a breathy laugh. Mason quickly turned the towel over on his lounger as someone else sat on it, not caring about your possible comments on his childish behaviour. Then he lay back on it, not saying another word, just closing his eyes and trying to get back to positive thoughts.
“Are you all right?” you asked, sitting up to look at him from a better angle and reaching for his hand, your fingers gently stroking his skin. That eased his mind a little, but couldn’t quite wipe the thoughts from his mind. Still, he hummed in response, opening his eyes a few seconds later and propping himself up on his elbows to look around. His eyes quickly found the guy who had been talking to you and he saw that he was still staring in the direction of your breasts.
“For fuck’s sake stop staring.” Mason groaned, causing your eyes to wander to where he was looking, seeing what he had just seen. “Come here.” he said, sitting up properly and spreading his legs wider. Your eyes snapped to him again, unsure what he wanted.
“Huh?”
“Come here, Y/N.” he whined now, tugging on your arm like a child, which made you laugh. Even though you couldn’t tan like that, you got up from your lounger to sit on his, between his legs and with your back to his chest, because you knew there was no denying it when he craved attention.
He hummed contentedly and wrapped his arms around your waist after brushing away the strands of hair stuck to the back of your neck. The next thing you felt were his lips on your neck, kissing every part of your skin he could reach. At which you had to giggle because of his beard tickling you from time to time.
“You’re mine.” he whispered and smiled as you hummed in agreement. You placed your hand on the back of his neck, pulling him closer to you and turning your head so that you could press a quick kiss to his lips. You heard him whine as you pulled back sooner than he wanted, despite knowing that the sunglasses prevented you from kissing the other properly.
“He’s still staring. Why is he still staring?” you heard from behind you, his gaze clearly back where it was. Mason knew you were his, but he hated the fact that others didn’t know that, that they seemed to think they could have you like that too.
“Mason—” you laughed, trying to stop him as his hands moved up and effectively covered your breasts with his hands. Not caring at all that anyone could see and possibly film this interaction. Except for the guy who obviously saw it, which was exactly what Mason wanted, not wanting him to be able to stare at them any further since it was for his eyes only. You both saw him look up at you instead, wink and smirk before he too lay down on his lounger and finally averted his eyes from you.
“He’s an asshole.” you said, turning to press a reassuring kiss to your boyfriend’s cheek. “Hm mh.” he replied, pressing kisses to the soft skin of your neck and shoulder again. His hands applied light pressure to your breasts, making you grin.
“Can we go? Please?” asked Mason, running his thumb over what he knew was your nipple, at which you had to stifle a whimper. Without another word you got up, grabbed your towel and held out a hand to help him stand. When he did, he grabbed you by the legs and lifted you over his shoulders, making you shriek and laugh by surprise. You didn’t see him give anyone a wink or a smile who looked at you two, as he carried you back to your house in this way.

Her hair wasn't quite dry yet, but she turned the dryer off to check herself out in the mirror. She leaned forward to examine herself more closely. No, she wanted a closer view. She picked up her phone, opening the camera to check herself out. Mmmm, my tits look so great!
Though he was just in the next room, she decided to send him a video, just to show off.
He'd like that. And I'd like that. It's nice to be nice. And sexy. It's nice to be nice and sexy and to have sex.
She pressed record, thinking about his reaction, how pleased he would be with her and her new tits. And then this time, for the first time, she noticed herself starting to do it, the thing with her lips. She stopped recording.
She watched the video back.
Why did she keep doing this? Pushing them out, leaving a huge gap?
Wait, had he hypnotised her again?
That must be it!
Everytime he implanted some change of behaviour in her, she wouldn't notice for weeks. And then eventually she would notice she was doing something different, and then only weeks later again would she catch herself starting to do it, and it would occur to her that maybe he had done this to her.
He'd done it to her so often now. How come it took her so long to notice these changes?
And when she did notice, how come it took her ages again to catch herself starting to do it and to realise it was something he had done to her? It should always be the first explanation that she thinks of!
Unless he also hypnotised her not to notice the change? And when she did notice the change, maybe he also hypnotised her not to realise he was the culprit?
But then if he could implant those kinds of mental blocks into her, then maybe the only reason she ever overcame them was because he relaxed the mental blocks? Because he wanted her to become aware of his power?
And maybe if she is only noticing that this is a repeating pattern now, maybe it is only because he wants her to notice?
She lay back on the bed and covered her crotch with a hand. Not touching herself, but just enjoying the warmth. She'd have smiled to herself if she could have.
That was so hot, what he'd done.
That's what she got for having told him how curious she was about hypnosis. 2 years ago now?
What was the first behavioural change he had implanted? Signing her name. With an i, with a heart for a dot. Old signature; just a squiggle. New; jenni swals, lower case, non-cursive, bubbly and legible.
She'd first noticed her new signature weeks later, when she had gotten in trouble at work. The signatures had been important, and they had seemed important to her at the time. Anyway that was her old job and the old her.
Or was it the old her at that time? She definitely already had the first boob job by then. Two years ago? No, so close to when she had told him about her interest in hypnosis? That didn't add up. Thinking about time was hard.
"I guess the signature thing wasn't the first thing he implanted in me", she said, looking down, giving her chest a shake. She laughed to herself.
When had she first noticed the lips thing? At the supermarket, waiting for the cashier to finish with the customer ahead. A middle-aged man had walked in, immediately his eyes rested on her. And she had enjoyed being noticed. And had thought about how she enjoyed how much more stares she was getting after her second boob job. And then she had noticed her lips were doing "a thing".
Well, that was the first time she had noticed. Her friends had noticed earlier. On her first night out after recovering from the surgery. And her friends had been laughing at her and trying to tell her that she was doing something with her lips.
And she hadn't understood what they were talking about. They even showed her a picture they had taken of her doing it, and she had looked at the picture incomprehensively. Sure, maybe her lips had looked like that at the exact instant the photo was taken, but she hadn't been holding them like that. No way!
And they had laughed, and copied her pose, pushing their lips out, leaving the big gap. Not that their lips were as big as hers. They'd all had them done, and they all had had great jobs, but "jenni's lips are best" she said to herself.
And she had handled their teasing the way she always did. Agreeing she had been doing it, and laughing and "getting the joke", because that was easier and maybe they could talk about something else, and then they would drop it and smile at her and pat her head because she was jenni and she was silly and nice like that.
So much easier. She remembered her old friends. She would have argued and denied and insisted. Much better to smile and be agreeable.
Well, no, not smile and be agreeable. Just be agreeable.
So much botox, not just where her laugh lines would one day appear, but under her eyes and forehead. Hmmm, maybe this thing she is doing with her lips is the single largest movement she can get out of her face? She practiced it a few times in the mirror.
My face, my beautiful face! Yes, yes! Brow lift, lip lift, rhinoplasty, jaw shaving, regular lip filler sessions. And she wasn't sure, but that thing he had said last week, was that a hint she'd be getting eyelash implants too?
Mmmmm, she was so hot and beautiful and everyone thought it and everything was right with the world and ... she was doing the thing with her lips again!
She lay back down again and her finger circled her clit. And her lips were frozen in their new pose. She tried but she couldn't convince her face to relax. Whenever he was playing with her recently her face was stuck like this, except when she had to make noises, like moan or scream, or draw more oxygen in.
Wait, is that the trigger? I feel hot and people are looking at me or I think about them looking at me and I'm enjoying the feeling and then I do this with my lips???
Oh my god! I'm going to be doing this a lot!

Rebels Rewatch: "A Princess On Lothal"
Mini Leia is here to lift everyone's spirits, and provide some much-needed hardware to the Rebellion.
Right, so going to have to be careful about the new photo limit, but just one quick cap from the beginning here because awwww the Loth-cat was comforting Ezra!
Tumblr media
Oooh the deep glockenspiel adds some interesting texture to this music cue here.
And cue the Hammerhead corvettes. Good thing Leia dropped by when most of the blockade was still sweeping up on Garel.
(They'll be back soon, Lothal and Garel are practically galactic neighbors.)
Lol Lyste sighing in aggravation about "Another delegation from Alderaan." I'm certain Bail and Breha have cultivated quite the bleeding heart reputation as cover for their covert Rebel activities.
I don't think the voice actress they chose is that great. She sounds... way older than 15/16 and I can tell she's trying for the cadence of Carrie Fisher's snark but... I dunno it just lands weird for me. I think they could have gotten away with having her voice sound younger and it would have been okay.
Tumblr media
Chopper sticking by Ezra's side. :((((
A slow, mournful version of Ezra's theme. Fitting, as he's going to be grieving the whole episode. Which is a nice bit of continuity. I love it when shows allow time for characters to grieve and adjust to losses they've sustained.
Subtle animation appreciation moment: The way Ezra idly thumps the cadet helmet to the side of his head. Just a nice little gesture that adds character and flavor.
Oh shit, that was definitely a Dies Irae in the score there.
(A refresher for those of you just joining this rewatch: The Dies Irae is an old Latin musical sequence that has been used basically since the Gregorian chant days to denote the specter of death in a work of music. Composers from ages past up to the present have referenced it in their compositions. Think of it as like the world's oldest music meme.)
Lot of OT score references in this part, no surprise.
Ezra is noticeably more surly and pissy than usual this episode, at least until his pep talk from Leia. Also no surprise, the boy hides behind his sarcasm and snark like no one's business.
"I don't get to give orders!" Just wait, Ezra, lol. You'll get your turn.
Leia playing Lyste like a damn fiddle lolol.
Mini Leia is really pretty. They did a great job with her design.
Alderaan sits pretty in the "plausible deniability" section. I'm sure the Empire suspected the planet of harboring secret Rebel sympathies but they were never able to have concrete proof of it. Bail, like Mon, probably held out hope that he could stem some of the Empire's tyranny from within, and so that's why he didn't want to lose his seat of government power, not as long as there was a chance he could effect some kind of change, which meant Alderaan had to avoid being directly tied to the Rebellion.
There's some commentary there about the need to work within the system in order to fix it, versus when it's time to break off and burn it down, but I'm not going to go into that right now.
Hngh, Ryder's resignation when the Stormtrooper mentions "termination".
"Hera's here." Hhhnkgjhn that's the happiest we've heard Ezra sound this episode Imma cry.
Luke's theme used per the standard as a bold Big Damn Heroes leitmotif with the Ghost's appearance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I'll warn Sabine." Lol how does Ezra know Sabine's the one who's going to be paying attention?
Zeb enjoyed this entirely too much lololol.
Ha ha those two Stormtroopers who are like, "They take prisoners now???"
Tumblr media
This man has zero shame lol.
RIGHT, SO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE UNDERRATED SABEZRA MOMENTS RIGHT HERE AND I HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD GIRL WITH THE PHOTO LIMIT WHICH MEANS I GET TO CAP THE SCENE IN FULL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That soft hand on his arm. The way her eyes linger on him as he turns away.
*sobs*
I love it so muuuuuuuuch!
Leia being, well, Leia, immediately discerns that something's really bugging Ezra. I love that the Kenobi show leaned into the inner sixth sense she displays here, that she can pick out a person's thoughts and feelings with the Force just by looking at them.
Kanan discerning that Leia might be able to comment and help Ezra, aww.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Friiiiiiiiick his face.
Leia's theme follows right on the heels of Ezra's theme here, in the score.
"I feel like because I can fight, I have to, for those who cannot." Boy is that isn't the quintessential Jedi and Rebel Alliance motivation right there...
I do like the dynamic between Ezra and Leia. It's very sweet. They bond based on their shared Hero Complex motivations, their mutual desire to fight on behalf of the helpless. Ezra shows off a little bit for her, later, in the way he usually does around girls he likes (the boy has A Type, let's be honest), but it never quite reaches the overtness of his crush on Sabine, so it hits even more quasi-platonic.
I think Leia thought he was cute tho.
Back to the plot, Leia's embarrassing Lyste all over the place here lol.
Ah, wow, the Rebel Alliance theme, haven't heard that in a while.
There is quite a bit of tension in how slowly the Hammerheads take off. The show plays that tension for all it's worth.
Oh you know I gotta comment about this part right here where Ezra goes feral.
For a moment we had all forgotten about the fact that he was clearly grieving, and this outburst caught us off guard. The way this is staged it's framed as concerning, with an edge of danger, Ezra leaping onto the Stormtrooper and clashing beats sounding along with his punches in the score, Kanan reaching towards him with an almost hesitant body posture.
But! Ezra lets out his anger and then contains himself, standing up and just putting his helmet back on. He breathes, regains his composure, and returns to neutral.
*weeps* He's such a good Jedi.
Kanan whipping out his lightsaber to be awesome against the AT-ATs aaaaaah!
(And that implied to be the reason Ryder stayed on Lothal and started up a new Rebel cell there, ONCE AGAIN CATCH ME CRYING ABOUT HOW THE JEDI REPRESENT HOPE TO A HOPELESS GALAXY.)
HHmmmmmmgggh I wanna say this is a recurring leitmotif but I don't know, I love it either way, it's beautiful.
Swish swish and return to first position, aaaah lightsaber choreography is so cool sometimes.
This whole sequence is just... *chef kiss*. The orchestration, the tension, the rapid shot choice...
Lolol Lyste getting thoroughly embarrassed by Leia.
Fun fact: One of the Hammerheads they gathered here in this episode would later go on to be the one that landed THE decisive blow to one of the Star Destroyers guarding the shield gate at Scarif.
PIECE BY PIECE, REBELS SHOWS THE MINUTIA OF SACRIFICES NEEDED TO PUT EVERY ELEMENT INTO PLACE FOR THEIR ULTIMATE VICTORY.
Ryder enters with Ezra, did Ezra have any kind of hand in convincing him to fight for Lothal?

HE LOOKS DIRECTLY AT EZRA I THINK THERE'S A CASE TO BE MADE HERE.
The Force Theme soaring into prominence here as we close out.
This episode is just the kind of break we need to process the events of the previous episode. Leia is almost flawless, willy deflecting suspicion off herself while playing the Imperials all for fools, compassionate and empathetic when she senses someone in pain and turmoil.
Ezra is allowed to grieve throughout the episode, and displays a myriad of conflicted and complex emotions from scene to scene. Kanan almost takes a bit of a backseat to comforting him, letting all the others express sympathy in turn, giving him the space he needs and offering up the distraction of the mission. He handles Ezra really well, all things considered.
It helps that Ezra, unlike Anakin, chooses to deal with and channel his grief in a productive way, rather than destructive. (I have the tag "#ezra is the anti-anakin" for a reason.)
This is a fun episode. Lighter than the previous one, lower stakes, but needed to let the characters breathe and process through the revelations of the plot. I really like it.
We're about to hit the Golden Streak, so stay tuned, I will have more to say later.
