Sunsets- Sarah Paulson
Tumblr media
Warnings: Angst, Fluff?, Idealisation to suicide
Y/n's Pov:
I was currently on the phone talking to my cousin "I'm so proud of you" I gushed he had just come out as trans and going from a girl to a boy must be hard on him.
"You're going to be great, you're already doing amazing don't listen to him he's just a dick" I really was proud of him but I still couldn't shake what I felt.
Deep within my bones, nothing was right so I'll try to make everyone better, allowing them to drain me dry.
Hollowing out my body of who I am and who I once was, a sense of connection was all I needed.
At some point my stepmom Sarah entered my room she stood at the door just watching.
"Please don't commit I'd miss you more than you think everyone would really" his dad didn't seem to support it. He had suffered from depression for the past few years and after what his dad had to say well it was starting to take its toll.
Everyone had already tried to help but eventually, they all gave up just deciding to hand him a therapist so at least they're still trying.
"Just promise me please...thank you, alright I love you too" as soon as the call ended a familiar voice filled the room.
"Look at you, comforting others with the words you want to hear," Sarah said solemnly "wha-what do you mean?" I asked almost defensively.
Turning to face the woman now walking towards my bed "I'm just saying Y/n that you're too pure for this world" she spoke lightly bringing a gentle hand to rest on my knee.
I looked up into her brown eyes hopefully, me and Sarah got on better than my actual parents and I probably ever did.
I dropped my head as tears began prickling my waterline sometimes it felt like she was the only one who understood my pain.
She felt like home
She sat beside me opening her arms as an offering, without hesitation I fell into her chest my arms wrapping around her small waist tightly.
She only rocked us back and forth rubbing my back comfortingly shushing my cries, kissing the top of my head "shh it's alright love".
Even though we both knew it wasn't it did make me feel like it was, I looked up at the older woman as she looked down smiling sadly.
Leaning in she kissed my nose making me giggle waterily, lightly she pushed a strand of hair behind my pierced ear.
"You're such a beautiful girl Y/n, has anyone told you lately?" She asked I only shook my head "no? Well I'll tell you some more, you Y/n Taylor are the most beautiful girl in the entire world and I'm very glad to be your stepmom".
I furiously shook my head, she's lying I'm far from it.
"No none of that" she held my head still "you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met Y/n Y/m/n Taylor and whoever disagrees will just have to take it up with me" letting go.
If I wasn't crying before I definitely was now my arms tightened around her frame "thank you..." I choked "no, thank you Y/n" Sarah smiled.
We turned to stare out the window "the sky looks beautiful huh, Sarah?" She only hummed in agreement.
As we pull away I whisper "I'm gonna make sure these sunsets are extra pretty I promise" maybe then at least I'd be good for something.
Sarah loved to admire the sky with me, maybe it could give her something to look forward to.
Sarah only hushed me grasping my face again, I couldn't believe her cold hands could bring so much warmth to my heart.
"You might think you would make a beautiful sky but you're way more beautiful on earth" she muttered before kissing my forehead.
My eyes closed basking in her comfort "maybe just for a minute longer I could stay".
Sarah's Pov:
I woke up gasping for air my hands flying to my chest sitting up I quickly threw off the blankets ignoring Holland.
Standing I hastily made my way towards Y/n's bedroom this dream wasn't like any other.
It was real only from Y/n's perspective? Was that how she actually felt? Slowly I pushed open her door.
Silence
The air was cold and her room no longer smelt of her, the passion flower shampoo, the vanilla rose that always lingered about, the floral musky scent of her perfume we always joked smelt like old ladies.
Pictures were hung upon the walls, decorated with a delicate passion, the bed was made and the desk organised.
This was probably the cleanest I had ever seen this room before.
Walking to her bed I grabbed the giant brown teddy bear laying on its stomach, resting on the bed opposite where she would've slept.
My fingers grazed gently along the green floral blanket, not even one of her hairs was set upon it.
She was really gone.
Tears dribbled harshly down my now agitated cheeks angrily I wiped them with the back of my hand.
I wasn't angry at Y/n, I was angry at Holland and her father at, at her family.
A bunch of bloodsuckers who mentally and emotionally abused this poor girl, forcing her to believe lies about herself.
And now my Y/n is gone.
Shaking my head I crept over to her windowsill pushing the curtain across I smiled.
"The sky looks beautiful today huh, Sarah?"
Looking up she really did make the sky extra pretty too bad that minute longer couldn't last forever.
Because she was my home.

requesting rules and information
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hello all and welcome to my requesting rules and guidelines post! i wanted to put this information out there in a place that was easy to access and all up-to-date to make for a fun and safe space for everyone to enjoy!
as mentioned in my about me post, i am a uni student and so there may be periods of inactivity or when my requests are closed for longer than usual, but please do not be alarmed i will be returning and your posts will be answered. so with that in mind it would be very much apprciated if you could not spam my ask box with the same request over and over again, or chasing up a request; if it has been requested it will be on my list and i will get to it so long as it does not ask something of me which i have stated i will not be writing. HOWEVER if i am active and your request did not ask me to write anything i stated in my boundaries post that i would not write and it has been a while since you sent it in there is a chance that it may have gotten lost so it is okay if you send me a message or request it again!
if requests are closed i would appreciate it if you would refrain from sending any requests in as i will not see them and they may get lost if too many are sent in when i am away. this would also make it difficult for me to get on top of posting again when i return from my breaks! when requests are open or closed will be noted in my biography!!
below are the characters and fandoms i write for, however, if there is someone not listed below you can request for them as chances are i will have heard of them but may not be the biggest fan of the show/movie/book but i will do my best and otherwise i will let you know! if a character below is crossed out then it just means i am taking a break from writing for thme for now, just to keep things interesting and so i am not always writing for the same person so, check back often as this may change!

Does she hump Holland as well?
No, she humps only me. [...] It makes Holland...She rejects it in a way that is so funny to me. I almost want Winnie to do it more because it love watching Holland get so disgusted.

Thank you for requesting this!!! Here’s what I came up with based on this request, so I hope you enjoy it!!!!
Masterlist | Taglist | Request - Guidelines | Come Talk!!
Reblogs help so much to support creators and they are greatly appreciated!
*
You and Harry have been in a pretty unconventional “relationship” for quite some time now. You’re friends, nothing more than that, but you sleep together. It had started as a way to relieve stress, a way for the two of you to release some steam while also satisfying your needs. It had started as nothing more than meaningless sex.
But now, four months later, you’re touring the world with Harry because he swore to you that he couldn’t go more than a few days without you by his side. Your late night rendezvous with Harry had stopped ending with you sneaking back to your house (or in this case, your hotel room) and progressed to you just spending the night.
As much as you hate to admit it, you’ve become the one that falls for their best friend as they go through a friends with benefits agreement. Regardless of how much you try to deny it, it hits you every single time that you see his face. Coming on tour with him made it ten times worse, as well. Seeing him on stage every night, exuding power and confidence, is going to be the death of you. He just looks so fucking good up there, entertaining thousands of people.
Every night, including tonight, you’ve been there to greet him as he runs offstage. Normally, he’d be high on his adrenaline, and you’d help him calm down and get to bed. Tonight, though, things are a little different. 
As soon as he got off the stage tonight, he flung himself into your arms, letting you hold him for longer than normal. You didn’t really question that, though, just chalking it up to him being a little more affectionate after this show. It’s happened before, so it was easy to decide that was most likely what was happening.
When Sarah and Mitch come over with a bottle of Tequila and shot glasses, however, you know why he’s giving you a little extra attention. He knows that whatever they have planned will lead to a very drunk Harry, and in turn a Harry that’s not able to perform like he normally does. 
It’s not like you really mind, though, you’d rather spend time with Harry getting drunk that having sex that you have to pretend means nothing to you.
“Okay so, since we’re on different floors of the hotel, I figured that we’d just sit here and play truth or shot.” Sarah chirps, smiling wide.
“I haven’t played that since I was a teenager.” Harry drawls, looking over at you and smirking. Why he did so, you have no idea, but you have a feeling that you’ll figure it out at some point soon. 
“Yeah, well, you’re about to play it again. Let’s go!” You follow behind Sarah as she leads you to Harry’s dressing room. There’s a table already set up with four chairs around it, so you make your way to it and take the seat closest to the door. Harry quickly slides into the seat next to you and tries his best to pull you closer to him.
Sarah gives you a look as she sits down, but you just wave her off. There’s no need for her to question anything between you and Harry when there’s not even anything going on. It’s not like he actually has feelings for you, so there’s nothing to discuss. 
“Alright, bitches, I’ll start.” Mitch, surprisingly, speaks up. He waits until Sarah pours the alcohol into each pint tinted shot glass and distributes one to everyone. Clearing his throat, he points at you. “Y/N, what’s up with you and Michael.” 
Of course, Mitch would start with that. Sighing, you pick up the shot glass and throw it back, letting the alcohol burn your throat on it’s way down. You wince slightly as you place the glass down and watch Sarah refill it. 
Harry looks over at you and furrows his brows. Fuck, you forgot to tell Harry about him. Michael wasn’t really anything to you, just a guy that had begun flirting with you at work. He had gone so far as to ask you out a few times but every time that he gives you a time, you already had plans with Harry. You had planned to tell him about Michael if something actually happened, but since nothing had, the only person you had told about him was Sarah (who apparently thought it was a good idea to share with Mitch).
You mouth “later” to him and turn back to Sarah and Mitch. You can feel how stiff Harry’s become next to you, and you can’t figure out why. Maybe he thinks that you’ve been sleeping with Michael and not telling him about it. That would explain why he’s upset, it was in the rules after all. If either of you started seeing someone else, the arrangement was off. Neither one of you were okay with cheating, so you get why he could be reacting the way that he is.
Since you were asked the last question, it’s your turn to ask one. Smirking, you turn to Harry. “So, Styles, when are you putting fans out of their misery and releasing Anna and Medicine?”
He chuckles, shaking his head. He’s still stiff, but you can tell that he’s trying his best to calm himself down. “Probably never.”
You zone out as you watch his lips form around the words. It’s almost sad, really, how fast he can consume your attention. You let your eyes trace his face as subtly as possible until you hear your name being called.
Shaking your head, you look over at Sarah. “Yeah?”
“Harry asked you a question.” Your eyes widen in recognition.
Turning to him, he’s smirking at you. The smirk falls almost immediately once he starts talking, however. “Who’s Michael?”
“H, I said later.” You respond immediately.
“Well I want to know now.” He reason, although he just sounds like a whiny child.
Pushing up from the table, you flash Mitch and Sarah a smile. “Have fun with him, I’m going back to the hotel. I don’t want to play anymore.”
By the time Harry catches up with you, you’re already outside of the venue, pulling out your phone to call an Uber. “Listen I’m sorry, okay? Just, why won’t you tell me who Michael is?”
Scoffing you turn to face him. “Why do you care, Harry? Me and Michael aren’t doing anything, and all me and you do is fuck. So please, tell me why it’s so important.”
He flinches back, like your words physically hurt him. “You think that all you are to me is a fuck?”
Laughing, you run a hand through your hair. “Harry, you’re the one who made the rules. You’re the one who said “this is just sex” so do not pull the “that’s all you think of us?” card.” 
“Yeah, I made the rules because I was fucking scared, okay?” He sighs, taking a step closer to you.
“Scared of what, Harry?” You cross your arms over your chest to block him out. You know that without doing that, his arms would have been around you in just a few moments.
“Of falling in love with you.” He hangs his head as he says the words, and you have to strain to hear them. When you register what he says, you scoff.
“How does that make any sense? Harry, you started a relationship that’s based on being intimate with one another, but you’re scared of falling in love with me? Yeah, okay.” You roll your eyes as you turn away from him and go back to ordering an Uber.
“Okay, listen. I know it sounds stupid, alright? I get it. But I wanted you close. Hell, I still want you close. I just didn’t know how else to do it. It’s not like you’re in love with me.”
Turning on your heel you send him a death glare. “Do not tell me how I feel, Harry. I am so in love with you. I literally can’t get you off my mind, okay? But you’re not making any sense.”
You can’t help but mirror the smile that breaks out on his face. “Listen, just come back to my place, okay? I’ll explain everything there. I know that how I went about it was fucked up, but I love you, and I just want you to be mine.”
Sighing, you slip your phone back into your pocket. “Take me home, H.”

~~~
Breaking up with someone you used to care about was never easy. In fact, grieving and eventually getting over that person was the hardest thing to do. You were a singer so relationships that went public usually ended up terribly wrong. The good part about it is that you can write a hit song about the experience.
Breaking up with your past boyfriend was probably the worst experience for you thus far. You thought that he was the one, every move you made was for him and you ended up depending on him constantly. And he broke your heart. He played you like a fiddle and played with the strings of your heart. He cheated on you with someone you were insecure about the duration of your relationship with him, which made everything feel worse.
You decided that you needed a change of scenery in hopes to clear your head. You had been spending time in your Los Angeles apartment moping around, trying to get over your ex-boyfriend. You also had a deadline for your new album and you haven’t even started. Your album was due towards the end of the summer, and it was now spring.
You sat down on your sofa with a pen and notebook in your hand. You were determined to write something. You didn’t want to write songs about your breakup, but that was all you were thinking about. You saw your phone on the coffee table light up and buzz. It was your manager and agent, Cassandra. You picked up the phone nervously, knowing that she was going to ask about your progress or lack thereof.
“Hello?” You answered.
“Hello, Y/N,” Cassandra greeted sweetly. “How’s the album coming along? We need to start recording soon.”
“Funny you ask.” You always tried to make fun out of an uncomfortable situation.
“Y/N.”
“I’m sorry, Cass! I have no idea what I should be writing about for this album.” It’s not like you didn’t want to write. You did, but you had no idea what to write about.
“Maybe you need a change of scenery, dear. You haven’t been out in months,” Cassandra suggested.
“Maybe you’re right.”
“Where would you want to go? You can stay there for the rest of the spring and the beginning of the summer.”
You thought about it for a moment. You definitely wanted to leave the country.  “How does London sound, Cass?”
“Sounds nice. I’ll book you, Natalie, and Sarah tickets for this weekend and I’ll rent the three of you an Airbnb for your stay,” Cassandra confirmed. Natalie was your personal assistant and your best friend. Sarah was your older sister who traveled with you everywhere and she helped you with many of your songs. She was good to bounce ideas off of. You had the perfect team.
“Perfect. Thank you.” You both said your goodbyes and hung up.
***
Tom got off the airplane and sighed in relief. He was finally home. After many months of filming on another continent, he was back in London. Tom was ready to finally sleep in his own bed and hang out with his brothers and friends once again.
Harry and Tom took an Uber back to Tom’s apartment. It was fairly late and all Tom wanted to do was sleep. In the Uber, Tom and Harry made light conversation.
“You want to go to the new pub by our flat this weekend? Haz and Tuwaine want to hang out,” Harry asked.
“Sure,” Tom mumbled. To be quite honest, Tom had absolutely no desire to go out at all this weekend, but he knew that his mates wanted to see him. He did want to see them too, so he agreed.
“Sounds good.”
***
You packed your suitcases for London at the last minute. In your defense, Cassandra only booked Thursday night’s tickets on Wednesday, so you didn’t have that much time in the first place. You were planning on using your time in London to relax and to create a healthy headspace to write your next album.
You called Natalie to ask her opinion on some of your outfit choices. “Nat, am I going for a  casual look this trip? Like sweatpants and t-shirts?”
“Absolutely not, Y/N. Are you insane?!”
“It was just a question, Natalie.” You defended yourself. “What should I pack then?”
“I don’t know, just look hot. You need to get out of the post-breakup sweatpants phase.”
“Fine,” you grumbled. You grabbed some cute spring sundresses from your closet and threw them into your suitcase. You packed some jeans and blouses as well.
You hung up with Natalie and took a look at your bag. “Should be good.”
***
The flight to London from Los Angeles was long and exhausting. You arrived at Heathrow airport in the early afternoon on Friday. You immediately went to the house to rest up from jetlag. Once you woke up a few hours later, Sarah was pressuring you and Natalie to get dressed. “We’re going to the pub! Get up, ladies!”
“What? Why?” Natalie groaned. You and Natalie were laying on your beds in your shared room. Sarah jumped onto your bed and tackled you.
“Sarah, we’re exhausted,” you said. You pushed your sister off of you and sat up. “We can just go tomorrow.”
“It’s the pub’s grand opening! It’s supposed to be fire!”
“Fine,” you mumbled. You got up and began unpacking your suitcase. “But I refuse to wear heels.”
***
Harrison made his way to his best mate’s flat to pick him up for the Cheer Beers grand opening on Friday night. Harrison used his spare key to get into Tom’s place. “Tom,” Harrison called out. He made his way to Tom’s bedroom to make sure he was ready for the night.
“In my room!” Tom exclaimed. Tom sounded upset and agitated. Harrison entered his room anyway because he wanted to hang out with his best friend. He opened the door and noticed Tom laying his bed under the covers.
“Are you alright, mate?” Harrison asked. Harrison noticed Tom in his pajamas while in bed. “Why aren’t you ready to go? Harry already went out with Tuwaine to wait in line.”
“I want to hang out with you all, but I’m just so jetlagged, mate.”
Harrison took his phone out of his back pocket to check the time and noticed an Instagram notification from you. He opened it out of curiosity and it was a direct message. It said that you would be at Cheer Beers tonight with your friends and asked if he was going. Harrison and you had met at an award show a few months back and you became friends. “You know what I just found out, Tom?”
“What?”
“Y/N L/N is going to the grand opening tonight.”
“You’re lying just to get me out of bed!” Tom accused him. Tom didn’t want to admit it, but he fancied you. He has been following you on social media and listening to your music for a while now, so Harrison saying you were going to be at the pub caught his attention.
“I’m not.” Harrison showed Tom his phone with your direct message. “I had no idea she was in town, though.”
“No clue, either.”
“Now will you come?” Harrison asked. “I know you have a huge crush on her.”
Tom eyed him skeptically but then let out a sigh. “Fine, I’ll go.”
***
You waited in line outside of Cheer Beers with Sarah and Natalie. You were wearing a black sleeveless cocktail dress with black slip-on vans. You saw a few familiar faces approach you and you realized that it’s your friend Harrison and his mates. You recognized one of his friends to be Tom Holland.
“Hey, Haz!” You greeted. He pulled you into a hug and squeezed you tightly. You pulled away and said, “Following me, I see?”
“Very funny,” he replied. “We were coming to opening night anyway. We were planning this in honor of Tom’s return from filming.”
“Oh, that’s right,” you said and then turned to Tom. You put your hand out for him to shake. “I’m Y/N.”
He shook your hand and you felt his sweaty palm touch yours. You could assume that he was either unwell or nervous. “Tom. Nice to finally meet you.”
“Likewise.”
You introduced Natalie and Sarah to Harrison and he introduced the rest of his friends to the three of you.
“Would you like to share a table with us?” Harry, Tom’s younger brother, asked you.
“I’m sure that Y/N L/N would have much better opportunities than to sit with us, Harry,” Tom interjected.
“Actually, Tom, we would love to.” You all entered the pub and grabbed a table in the back room. Harrison sat between Sarah and Tuwaine. Harry sat by Natalie. You sat between Natalie and Tom, per Natalie’s whisper in your ear to go for it. You all got your first round of drinks.
“So what brings you to London?” Tom asked.
“Needed to clear my head,” you said and then ate the olives from your martini.
“So you flew halfway across the world?” Tom was amused and you could tell. He wasn’t trying to laugh at you particularly, he just thought it was funny that you chose London of all places.
“Shut up,” you teased. “We’re here for the summer. A vacation, or holiday, if you will.”
“Nice, nice.” You could feel the slight awkward tension between the two of you. You were basically strangers so it made sense. You decided to try and break it. “How was filming for the third Spider-Man film?”
Tom’s eyes lit up at your sudden interest in his work. “Can I tell you a funny story?”
***
Three hours passed by and you decided to call it a night. You talked with Tom the entire night. You enjoyed his company but you were also jetlagged. “Tom, I’m tired,” you said as you leaned on his shoulder.
“Me too.”
“Want to walk me home?” You asked.
“Would love to.” You both got up from the booth and Tom paid for your drinks, even though you protested. Harrison, Tuwaine, Harry, Sarah, and Natalie didn’t look like they were ready to leave any time soon so you said your goodbyes to them and left with Tom.
“How far are you away from here?” Tom asked you.
“About a ten minute walk.” You began walking in the cool London air.
“So, Harrison told me that you were writing for your new album. How’s that going?”
“Not well,” you said as you crossed your arms over your chest. “It’s been fucking difficult.”
“I’m sorry, love.” The pet named warmed your heart and body even more. Tom wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you closer to him. “I wish I can help you out somehow.”
“It’s alright. Getting out tonight helped me get into a good headspace,” you said.
“Glad to hear it.” You arrived at your Airbnb and Tom walked you to the front door. “I had a great time tonight, Y/N.”
You smiled, the first genuine smile that you’ve had in a while. “Me too, Tom.” You opened your door to enter.
“Wait.” Tom stopped you. “Let me get your number.”
“Sure.”
***
Two weeks had passed since you arrived in London and you and Tom have been texting back and forth. He had even taken you on a tour of London. He took you to all of the hot spots. Occasionally, Tom, Harrison, and Harry would come over to your Airbnb to hang out with you, Sarah, and Natalie. You were developing friendships with everyone, but you felt a bit stronger about Tom. He was charming, kind, and really funny. You enjoyed his company and you finally got the chance to start writing for your upcoming album. You realized that you didn’t want to write about your breakup with your ex, but instead write about your crush on the brown-haired London boy.
“How is the album coming along?” Cassandra asked you on the phone.
“Pretty good. I have a killer single coming your way and many other songs too.”
“Remember, we need to start recording at the end of July.”
“You got it.”
“You sound happy,” she commented. She was right. You were happy and finally completely over your ex. “It’s a good look on you.”
“Thanks.”
“What are you writing about?”
“Oh, you know… London, pubs, boys,” you trailed off.
***
Harrison was busy planning his upcoming date with your sister, Sarah. They hit it off extremely well at the opening of Cheer Beers. They got each other’s numbers and planned to go on a date. To be honest, Harrison was stressed out. He scored a date with Sarah L/N, which ultimately shocked him. So, he decided to go to his best mate for some advice.
Tom was sitting in his living room and Harrison entered with two dress shirts in hand. One of them was a white button-down and the other one navy. “Which shirt should I wear on my date with Sarah?”
“Black slacks, right?” Tom asked.
“Yeah, and a black leather jacket.”
“Go with white,” Tom suggested.
“Thanks, mate. Another question,” Harrison proposed. It felt natural for Harrison to ask Tom about his lady troubles, even though Tom had been single for a while.
Tom nodded his head to urge Harrison to continue.
“What if I fuck this up?” He asked nervously. “I really like Sarah.”
Tom got up from the couch to come closer to Harrison and put his hand on his shoulder. “You’ll be fine, mate. Just be yourself. She’ll fancy you, I promise.”
“How are you so good at giving me advice but you can’t get a girlfriend?”
Tom mocked being bothered. “Rude,” he scoffed.
“What are you waiting for?”
“If I say the perfect girl, will you slap me?” Tom joked.
“Yes, yes I will,” Harrison laughed as he replied. “I think that you already found the perfect girl at Cheer Beers.”
“We’re still getting to know each other. Why must we move so fast?” Tom wondered. He wanted to take things slow. His life had always moved fast and he wanted something to move at his pace, for once. Too many relationships have moved too fast and he ended up hurt.
“Because she’s only here for so long and I have a feeling that she likes you,” Harrison reasoned. Tom was starting to feel the same way about you too.
“Fine. While you go on your date with Sarah tonight, I’ll see if Y/N wants to hang out.” He picked up his phone from the coffee table and texted you asking if you wanted to come over. You replied saying yes and he smiled. “We’re hanging out.”
“Great. Don’t forget to use protection,” Harrison said as he ran away to go get dressed for his date.
“Fuck off, you div!”
***
Tom went to the grocery store to pick up some snacks and beers before you came over to his flat. He tidied up the living room once he got home and made sure to fluff the pillow to make them look nicer. Even though you and Tom were only friends, he couldn’t help but make sure that everything looked perfect for you.
You arrived 30 minutes later. You wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt, along with your slides. Your hair was out of your face and Tom thought that you looked stunning. “Hey.”
“Hi,” Tom blushed. “Nice sweatshirt.” Your sweatshirt was light blue and it had butterflies on it. Tom realized that he loved that color on you.
He led you to the couch and he sat beside you. “So what did you do today?” You asked.
“I worked on a script that I’m writing and then I helped Harrison get ready for his date with your sister. What about you, love?” The pet name made your heart flutter. Tom was definitely charming.
“I worked on some songs for the album,” you answered proudly.
“Care to share?”
“Willing to share what the script’s about?” You asked back, already knowing the answer.
“I’m legally not allowed to share, so no. I’m sorry, darling.”
“Then my answer is the same.”
“Well played, pretty girl,” he flirted. “Wanna watch a movie?”
“Sure, what do you have in mind?”
“Avengers: Age of Ultron?”
“Yes, it’s one of my favorite Marvel movies!” You exclaimed. “I have a feeling that you knew that already.”
Tom smiled at you as he picked up the remote from the coffee table and turned on the television. “I may have, but only because Haz told me. Don’t worry, though. It’s one of my favorites too.”
Tom found the movie and before he hit play he got up from the couch. “May I offer you some popcorn before we start the movie? I have beer as well.”
“Yes to both, please.” Tom went to the kitchen to pop the popcorn and grab some beers. He came back around five minutes later with everything.
“Here you go,” he said as he handed you a bottle of beer. “I know it’s not a martini.”
“It’ll have to do,” you teased. You pat the seat beside you to urge Tom over. “Now, come sit.”
Tom pressed play and the Marvel introduction appeared on the screen. You moved closer to Tom and he wrapped his arm around your shoulder, just like he did that night at the pub. “Is this ok?” He asked.
“It’s perfect.”
Around an hour into the movie, the popcorn was finished along with your first bottle of beer. Tom’s hand was still resting on your shoulder but now your head was resting on his. “Y/N?” Tom called out.
“Yeah?” You asked as you moved your head away from him so you could look at him.
“Can I be honest with you about something?” You nodded so he would continue. “I really want to kiss you.”
“Can I be honest with you?” You asked while smiling.
“Yeah.”
“I really want you to kiss me,” you said as you leaned in. He pressed his lips against yours in a soft first kiss. You kissed back almost immediately. After a couple of seconds, you pulled away from him.
“Wow,” he said.
“Ditto,” you said and then pulled him back towards you. You kissed him again and you knew that from now on, you couldn’t get enough of him.
***
Tom and you didn’t finish the movie the other night. After your many makeout sessions with him, you decided to go home, and you promised him that the two of you would get together again soon. You went home with the biggest smile on your face. Since your kiss, you and Tom have not talked about the status of your relationship. As of right now, you were just friends who have kissed before. No biggie.
It was now the 28th of May and you were sitting on a park bench having coffee with Harrison. It would be Tom’s 25th birthday in four days and the two of you were attempting to plan the perfect party for him.
“You’ll get the decorations, Sam will cook a few dishes, and I’ll provide booze,” Harrison said, listing things off. “We’ll host it at my new flat and I already called everyone.”
“Sounds great, Haz. I just hope he has a great time.”
“I’m sure he will,” he said as he winked at you, indicating something.
“What is that supposed to mean?” You asked, referring to his wink.
“I know that something happened between the two of you last week. Tom hasn’t stopped smiling since the two of you started hanging out. I’m sure he’ll be happy to know that you planned a party for him.”
“We all are planning it,” you corrected him.
“Yeah, but it’s not like he fancies me,” Harrison laughed.
You rolled your eyes at the blonde-haired boy in front of you. “Whatever.” You got up from the park bench and began walking towards his car. “Come on, Harrison. We need to go to the market.”
***
It was the 1st of June; Tom’s birthday. You woke up early to make sure that everything was ready to go for the party tonight. Harrison and Tom’s brothers planned a golf trip with Tom while you set up Harrison’s flat. You brought Sarah and Natalie along with you to help.
“Move that banner a little more to the right,” you told Sarah. She moved it as you requested. The banner said, Happy 25th birthday, Tom! in light blue glitter. “Looks great. Thanks, sis.”
You blew up balloons, set up tables for the food and drinks, got streamers and ribbons, and finally assembled the cupcake tower with the cupcakes you and Natalie baked the night before.
“Red velvet. Nice choice,” Sarah said as she took a look at the cupcakes on display.
“They’re Tom’s favorite,” you pointed out.
“Seems like you know a lot about him.”
“Well, he is my friend.”
Natalie laughed at your response to your sister’s comment. “Is that all he is?” She asked.
“For now.” You pulled out your phone from your pocket to check the time. It was the early afternoon and the party would start in a few hours. “We better get going to get ready. Sam will bring the food and set it up within the hour.”
Before you got into the car, you texted Tom to wish him a happy birthday and he responded with a heart emoji. You smiled to yourself and then got into the car to drive to your Airbnb.
The three of you washed up and got dressed for Tom’s party. You decided on wearing a light blue sundress with daisies on it. You matched it with white wedges and you did your hair to your liking. Once you were all ready you drove to Harrison’s. When you got there, Harrison, Sam, Tuwaine, and a few other friends of Tom’s were already there.
“Harry is bringing Tom in around 15 minutes,” Harrison told you.
“Ok. Everything seems to be going pretty smoothly.”
“We make a pretty great team,” Harrison said in appreciation for all of the work to make Tom’s party happen.
“Tell that to Sarah over there,” you teased him. His date with your sister went well from what she told you, but because of Harrison’s nervousness, they haven’t talked much since. “She’s been dying to hang out with you.”
“Are you just saying that so you can have Tom all to yourself when he gets here?” He tried to joke.
“No,” you said seriously. “Go talk to her, Haz.” You pushed him lightly in her direction to encourage him to go talk to her.
“I see Harry’s car pulling up!” Sam said a few minutes later. “Everyone get ready.”
Harry used Harrison’s spare key to get into his flat and once both of them entered you all yelled, “Surprise!”
“Thanks, guys!” Tom said in shock. Tom made his rounds to greet everyone to say thank you. You waited patiently in the kitchen for the birthday boy. He finally approached you after a few minutes. “Hey, love.”
“Happy birthday,” you said as you pulled him in for a hug. “You look very handsome.”
He pulled away to look at you. “Thank you, but you’re absolutely stunning.”
You leaned in to kiss his cheek and then said, “Thanks, Tom.”
“I should be thanking you,” he said and then grabbed your hands to intertwine your fingers together.
“For what?”
“Harrison told me that you helped him plan all of this, so thank you.”
“It’s my pleasure,” you said genuinely. “You like it?”
“I love it. He looked over to the counter and saw the cupcakes. “Is that a cupcake tower?”
“A red velvet cupcake tower,” you confirmed. “I baked them.”
“You’re a goddess.” He kissed your lips for half a second and then grabbed a cupcake from one of the tiers. He unwrapped the cupcake and then took a bite. He hummed in delight.
“I’m taking that you like them,” you giggled at the man in front of you. He could seriously make anything look cute.
“They’re heaven,” he moaned. Tom dipped his finger in the frosting and swiped your nose with it. You looked at him in shock. “Aw, you look so adorable,” he said.
You laughed at his antics. “Glad you think so, babe.”
Tom’s lit up at the pet name. “Babe? Hmmm.”
“Yeah, babe.” You took some frosting from what was remaining of his cupcake and placed some on his nose to match you. “You look very cute with frosting on your nose, babe.”
Tom grabbed a napkin from the counter and cleaned the frosting off the both of you. “We’re both very cute.”
“Ok, lovebirds,” Sam called out for the two of you. “Let’s get this party started!”
“Before we go out there, I have something to ask you,” Tom said.
“And what may that be?”
“Will you go out on a date with me?” He asked nervously. You felt your heart skip a beat and you could’ve sworn that you felt Tom’s heart beating rapidly from how close you were standing to him.
“I would love to, Tom,” you said and then kissed him to confirm that you really wanted to.
***
The rest of the night went well and Tom enjoyed his time with his friends. You, Sarah, and Natalie crashed at Harrison’s place along with Tom and Harry. The party ended late and the five of you were too tired to drive home, so Harrison offered to let you all stay there.
You woke up early and made your way downstairs to heat the kettle for tea. As you were waiting, you heard footsteps, and soon enough a pair of arms wrapped around you. “Good morning, beautiful,” Tom said and then kissed your clothed shoulder.
“Morning.” You turned around so you could face him. “How did you sleep?”
“Not so well,” Tom said as he stretched out his arms. “Harrison’s a kicker.”
“Poor baby,” you teased, and then Tom pouted. “Quit pouting, Tommy. I know you’re faking it.”
“Fine,” Tom mumbled.
You turned to the stove and saw that the kettle was ready. “Want tea?”
“Please. A splash of milk and a spoonful of sugar, if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all,” you said as you poured him a cup. “So where are we going on our first date?”
“That’s a surprise, darling.”
***
A week after Tom’s birthday, Tom texted you asking if you were available to go on your first date. You had been working on the album the entire morning so you thought it’d be nice to go out with Tom. You replied yes and he told you to be ready within the hour. Tom knocked on your door around an hour later, with a bouquet in his hand. “These are for you, love,” he said with a smile as he handed them to you.
“Thank you, Tom,” you said and then sniffed the flowers. “Come in while I put these in some water.” Tom entered your Airbnb and you searched for a vase in one of the cabinets. Once you found one, you filled it up with water and put the flowers in. “We should be good to go now.”
Tom held your hand as he led you to the car. He opened the door for you and then got in and started the car. “You ready?”
“Where are we going?” You asked.
“You’ll see in around 15 minutes, angel.” Tom grabbed your hand that was resting in your lap and brought it up to his lips to kiss it. “I don’t think I told you this, but you look ethereal.”
“You’re quite the charmer, Holland.”
“I aim to please,” he joked. “But in all seriousness, you always look gorgeous.”
Tom was by far the kindest man you have ever met in your entire life. You have known him for barely two months but he made you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. You had never felt this way about anyone before.
Tom drove down to a lake. “It’s one of my secret spots,” he told you.
He led you down to the grass near the water and he set up a picnic there for the two of you. “I made sandwiches, cut up some fruit, and some apple cider.”
“It looks good. Thank you, Tom.” He pulled everything out from the picnic basket and handed you one of the sandwiches.
“Anything for you.”
“So this is one of your secret spots, huh?” You asked.
“Mhm,” he mumbled as he took a bite from his sandwich.
“So you bring a lot of girls here?” You teased and you could’ve sworn that you saw Tom almost choke on his sandwich. “Is that why it's so special?”
“Very funny, love,” Tom said. “No, I actually come here alone.”
“I’m guessing because it’s quiet.”
“Yeah, I come here when I need to clear my head.”
You looked around the area and you immediately understood why Tom liked it so much. There was a beautiful, cool breeze and the birds chirping sounded like music to your ears. “It’s beautiful. Thank you for bringing me here.”
“I can drive you here to write songs if you’d like,” Tom offered.
“That would be lovely.”
You and Tom spent a couple of hours at the lake. You talked about anything and everything, and you finally felt yourself get closer to him. You felt him opening up to you too, which you felt good about.
“Would you like to go on a drive with me?” Tom asked once you both packed up the remainder of the picnic.
“Will there be music involved?”
“What would be a nice evening drive without music? C’mon, let’s go.” Tom led you to his car and you began your drive. The sun was setting and it was beautiful. “It’s wonderful outside, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it is,” you said.
“I had a great time with you, Y/N.”
“Me too.”
*** Once Tom dropped you off, you began writing another song. His date left you inspired and you were starting to like him more and more. Each time you saw him your feelings for him grew. He inspired you to write your song, London Boy.
Tom wanted a second date. He felt so good leaving the first one and knew that he wanted to pursue a relationship with you. He knew that it would be hard but relationships won’t always be easy. He decided to call you the next to ask when he could see you again.
“Tom, we just went out,” you teased.
“I know, Y/N, but I like you. A lot.” You thought that it was cute how Tom was eager for a second date. You were excited too.
“I like you, too. I would love to see you again, too,” you said.
“Coffee? I don’t drink it but I know how much you like it,” Tom offered.
“How about tea? Know any good spots for a cup of tea and maybe breakfast?”
“I know just the place. See you soon, Y/N.”
***
Many amazing dates with Tom and a bunch of fun days in London later and you know that you’re ready to start recording your next album. People had their assumptions about you and Tom. Rumors had gone around but Tom and you didn’t address them.
London inspired so much of your album that you decided to record there. The rest of your team flew out and you began recording.
You called Tom asking him to come to the studio. “I’m recording one of my favorite songs today. I would love for you to come if you’re free.” You were recording London Boy today and you wanted Tom to hear it since he hadn’t before. It would also be a good way to officially tell Tom that you’re falling in love with him.
“I would love to come. Send me the address.”
“You got it. See you in 20.”
You sent Tom the address of the studio and he was there within 15 minutes. You greeted him at the front. “Hey, babe.”
He kissed you on the cheek and then asked, “Are you excited for today?”
“Very. I’m excited for you to hear the song,” you said as you led him into the studio. You introduced him to Cassandra and the rest of your team.
“Y/N, get your pretty ass in the booth,” Cassandra said. You walked into the recording booth and put on your headphones. “Let’s do this.”
“Tom, sit up in front,” you said and then he took a seat beside Cassandra. “This one is called London Boy.”
The upbeat music came on and you knew that you were skipping the intro for now so you went in with the first verse.
I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey But something happened, I heard him laughing I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent They say home is where the heart is But that's not where mine lives
You heard Cassandra tell you to stop so they could play it back. You saw Tom smiling at you as you were singing and you took that as a good sign that he was enjoying it.
“Now for the chorus.”
You know I love a London boy I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet Darling, I fancy you Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates So I guess all the rumors are true You know I love a London boy Boy, I fancy you (Ooh)
You ended up finishing the recording of the song in an hour. You left the booth for your break and you first greeted Tom. “What did you think of it?”
“I love you, too,” he said. You leaned up to him and kissed him with every fiber of your being.
“That’s good because many of these songs are about you.”
“And I can’t wait to hear them all,” he said and then smiled.
“I can’t believe how I’ve only been here for three months and I already feel this way,” you said honestly. You have never fallen so fast for anyone, but it feels right with Tom. Everything feels right with him.
“Well, believe it because it’s real,” Tom confirmed. “Be mine, Y/N?”
“I thought you’d never ask, lover.”

Girlfriend
pairing: tom holland x reader
summary: based off of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
warnings: swearing, panic attack
a/n: this idea just popped into my head and I just sat down and wrote it. There are probably some spelling errors. Not my best work, but I felt like writing angst but there is a fluffy ending cause I couldn't help myself. ☺️
Tumblr media
Hey, hey, you, you
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way
I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you
I could be your girlfriend
The lyrics of your boyfriend´s ex-girlfriend, sarah's song rang through your ears as you walked around your flat. Tom was out, at the store with harrison getting some food. As the song continued your heart pounded louder and louder.
Hey, hey, you, you
I know that you like me
No way, no way
No, it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you
I want to be your girlfriend
By the time the song finished tears were brimming your eyes. You knew that sarah was gorgeous, she had that model body and the voice of an angel not to mention the fact that everyone thought they were the 'it' couple. They broke up almost a year ago and you and tom had only been together for 4 months and he had just asked you to move in, it was fast and unexpected but you happily agreed it just felt right. Of course tom was sort of a package deal, moving in with him also meant moving in with, harrison, harry, and tuawaine. Tomś friends were so supportive of you guys, with you all the way. You quickly paused the song, wiping the small tears that started to form form your eyes, as you heard the front door open and the yammer of the boys talking.
¨Hey babe!¨ tom said as he walked in.
¨Hi, did you get everything i told you to get for dinner?¨ giving tom a a peck on the lips, ¨caus you tend to forget things¨ you tease.
¨We got everything¨ harrison says sighing, rolling his eyes. You stick your tongue out at him. everything was back to normal you almost forgot about the song and puched all remanding bits of it to the back of your brain.
¨Guess what?¨ tom says excitedly, with a dopey smileon his face.
¨What?¨ you guess back, with the same ridiculously dopey smile.
¨I ran into sarah¨ he begins, your eyes widen, ¨yeah i know it has been a while, we are gonna meet for coffee tomorrow, that cool?¨ he asks you. Your smile dropps a tad bit but you replace it with a fake smile quickly.
¨Yeah, totally cool” you reply. You continue to chat with the boys a fake smile pressed on your face as you cooked dinner.
The next couple days after that you avoided tom especially after the next day when he told you all about what such a great time he had with sarah. It felt like he forgot that you were his girlfriend even though he cuddled you and pulled you into his side and pressed a kiss to your lips.
After a few days of you avoiding tom and only seeing him when you went to bed and even then you went to sleep earlier just so you missed tom and dinner, you even got up early for breakfast and a run as soon as tom had got up. After all of this, tom was finally catching on. And he was going to confront you.
He got off from filming early, just so he could catch you. He was sitting on the couch flipping through his phone when the door knob jingled open and you walked in. You looked up and were shocked to see tom sitting on the couch on his phone looking up expectantly at you.
¨Uh, t-tom, wh-what are you doing here?¨ you stuttered out in schock.
¨we need to talk.¨ he said getting up from the couch looking worryingly at you.
You felt your heart pound this is the the conversation you had been dreading the one where he would break up with you for sarah. You knew what he did during the day, you knew that he had been hanging out with sarah more. The lyrics of her song rang through your head,
She's like, so whatever
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about
He guided you to the couch you sat down, he clasped your hands. ¨y/n, why have you been avoiding me?” sstated warrily.
¨what?¨you ask trying to sound shocked, ¨i am not avoiding you.¨ you state.
¨really? He asked, ¨cause i haven't really, no, i haven't seen you around at all recently, only when we go to sleep and even then you are already asleep.¨ he exclaim, get more frustrated by the second.
¨Why would you care?” you huff, ¨your always ot with sarah¨ you add, dramafiing the word sarah.
¨well how would you know, we don't talk anymore¨ he snapped back. You chuckle, of course he would have no idea what is going on, he can be so oblivious sometimes. Tom continued his little rant, ¨one second everything is all happy and we are in love and next minute you are ignoring me. Did you know that this is the first time i've had a real conversation with you in almost a week.”you open your mouth to respond but are cut off again, huffing you settle back down. ¨I mean what the fuck, what the actual fuck y/n!¨
This time when you open your mouth to speak you aren't cut off, surprised you decide to talk. ¨yes thomas i knew that and have you ever thought about what happened the last day we talked?”you question him snarkily. He opened his mouth to speak but this time you cut him off, you were both standing there next the couch yelling at this point. ¨no you haven't have you? Cause there was some big news the day before i stopped talking to you”you point at him. ¨a new song released maybe?”you question already knowing the answer.
There is a moment of silence as tom ponders what the fuck you are talking about then he realises that sarah had just dropped a song that day, you had heard it but ddin really pay attention to it, since it didn really concern him anymore. ¨god, y/n you are so stupid, you know? I mean it was just a song beside its not like it concerns us, i love you and that all that matters”he says moving to take your hand in his but you quickly move them away. Cause as soon as he called you stupid your mind went back to that dreadfull song.
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in
She´s so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?
Your heart was pounding by now, you stumbled back and started breathing heavily. You could hear tom alling you name as a handin was rubbing your arm and to hands grasped your body, tom´s hands, you thought.
¨Shhh, shh, love listen to me, breath in, and out.¨ tom said soothingly and you were brought back into reality. You had had a panic attack, tom was there but wait, you got up quickly form tom´s lap. ¨love?¨
¨no, no, no”you say, shaking your head. ¨you can't do this to me tom, i, i”you stuttered. He tilts his head in confusion. ¨the song, this, us¨ you motion between the two of you, ¨we shouldn't¨
¨but love¨, he starts and you want to just melt into his touch as he stands up next to you, ¨i love you¨ you just look down. Tom swears his heart just shattered there and then. He looks at you questioningly like why you were doing this.
¨tom,¨you sigh, ¨you should be with someone like sarah, not me, iḿ a nobody¨ you say with a deep breath being careful not to let the tears pile up¨
¨wh-what?¨ tom asks stunned, ¨i don like sarah, she doesn't like me we decided that we should be friends.¨ he states still clearly confused.
¨ha¨ you laugh at this, ¨just friends? Really?¨ he nods, ¨then why the hell on earth did she write a song about you and i?¨ you ask him.
Clearly puzzled he says, ¨she did not write a song about us.¨
¨oh really? Then who is this about?¨ you say grabbing your phone and turning on girlfriend. The song plays and over the course of it you can see tom´s expression changing from confusion to anger to guilt. And when she sings
I can see the way, the way you look at me
And even when you look away, i know you think of me
So come over here and tell me what i wanna hear
Better yet, make your girlfriend disappear
It hits you in the gut. As soon as the song ended tom says, ¨love i am so sorry, i had no idea, and if it helps we won be friends¨ you just nod.
¨that would make me feel better about myself¨ you reply.
¨darling you have nothing to worry about, just remember that i love you just the way you are all you imperfections make you who you are an i love them all.¨
And with that you wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him, in a long passionate kiss. As you break away tom mumbles, ¨i love you y/n¨
And you mumble an, ¨i love you too, tom¨ and witht that you reconnect your lips and all your worries wash away like a long forgotten memory.

Autocomplete Interview
Warning: There are chunks of this that are taken straight from the actual interview, I obviously have no right to those and cannot take credit for them. Thanks in advance.
Tumblr media
“Five, four, three -” you hear someone behind the camera counting down
“Hey it’s Zendaya here.”
“Hey it’s Tom Holland.”
“Jacob Batalon.” 
“And I am Y/N Y/L/N, and we are about to do our,” you point to Jacob
“Wired,” then Tom
“Autocomplete,” and finally to Zendaya
“Interview!” someone hands Jacob a board that says ‘Does Tom Holland’ in the search bar. Jacob rips off the first sticker, “Does Tom Holland… do his own stunts?” Zendaya reads
“No, I do them for him.” you state with a completely serious face and then you and Zendaya break into laughter. Tom shakes his head laughing at you before answering
“I do actually. But there are some that I just can’t do and then my stunt doubles Greg and Luke, who are absolutely amazing by the way, do them. So yeah I do do my own stunts but I can’t take full credit.” 
“Shout out to Greg and Luke!” you cheer and then Jacob peels the next one.
“Does Tom Holland Spoil movies?” Zendaya reads and you all laugh although Tom looks a little sheepish as he does. 
“Yes, yes he does.” You answer “In fact in the last interview we did he did a huge spoiler and we had to ask them to cut that part.” Tom shakes his head in shame “It’s okay though babe we still love you.” You say as you reach across Jacob to hold Tom’s hand which he takes and kisses before releasing it. 
“Whoa guys don’t put me in the middle of your love fest please.” Jacob laughs, you just shake your head at him, and he peels the next off
“Does Tom Holland play video games?”
“Yeah every now and then.” He answers
“Does Tom Holland have a girlfriend?”
“No.” You answer and he looks confused 
“Didn’t we tell you Y/N and I are in love, and she is dumping you for me.” Zendaya says. 
“I mean I would dump me for you to so…” Tom laughs
“Just kidding guys, Tom and I are 18 months?” You look at Tom who is shaking his head “Yeah 18 months strong. So yeah.”
Once that board is finished Jacob tosses it to the ground and one of the crew members hands you the next one with Zendaya's name on it. “What Zendaya.” you say and peel off the first one. 
“What does Zendaya’s name mean?” you read “Oh! I know this one on the count of three, one, two, three,”
“To give thanks.” you and Zendaya say at the same time
“Awe you know me so well Y/N.”
“What is Zendaya zodiac sign?” you read next
“I am a virgo.” She answers
“That question should read what is grammar because you guys need it.” you reply “Anyway, What is Zendaya’s song replay about?”
“I don’t know, a song being replayed a lot.” Zendaya laughs
“Oh man is that the song we were jamming out to in 2016?” Jacob asks Tom
“No, I don’t think so.” he responds
“It’s a banger y’all should check it out.” you say while peeling off the next one “What is Zendaya’s favorite movie?” 
“Oh any movie with Y/N Y/L/N in it.” she smiles 
“Awe babe.” you reach across both boys this time to hold her hand
“Okay okay brea it up you two.” Tom pulls your hands apart. 
“Tommy don’t be jealous you know I love you.” you say and make a kissy face at him, then throw the board off to the side. This time a crew member hands Tom a board 
“Who Y/N Y/L/N.” He says as he starts to take off the sticker and then he stops “Oh no, I don’t like how this card feels on my nails!” he then proceeds to very carefully try to peel it off.
“Who does Y/N Y/L/N play in the MCU?” Jacob Reads
“Everyone together? One two three,”
“ Jessica Drew.” You all say together 
“You know what I find funny?” you ask “Tom is British and plays an American and I am American playing a Brit.” 
“Is that what you think about in your spare time?” Tom asks 
“Maybe?” you shrug your shoulders and he goes to peel off the next one. Tom acts like a diva about it again and so Zendaya does it for him. 
“Who is Y/N Y/L/N’s  Boyfriend?”
“Just this weirdo who plays Spider-Man. Next question!”
“Hey wait a minute.” Tom says but Zendaya ignores him and pulls the next sticker off.
 “Who is Y/N Y/L/N related to?”
“So my moms name is Y/M/N and my dad’s name is Y/D/N, but you probably know my uncle the best and his name is Robert Downey Jr.”
“I love how you just say that like it’s nothing.” Jacob Laughs “Like, yeah my uncle is one of the most famous actors of all time, no biggy.” 
“I mean for me it’s not, he will always just be Uncle Rob.” you shrug 
“Okay last one.” Zendaya says after a minute. “ Who is Y/N Y/L/N’s favorite author?”
“Oh I am so glad you asked! I love a lot of authors but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Sarah J Maas.” 
“Okay next board!” Tom says as he throws that one away. You guys do a board about Jacob and then  two or three about the movie, until it's time for the last board. A crew member hands it to Zendaya who after she takes it she runs her nails along the side of it cause it to make an awful noise that Tom spazzes out over,
“AH! Don’t do that, don’t do that.” You and Jacob laugh as Zendaya continues to play with it and bother Tom.
“Okay, Y/N and Tom.” Zendaya reads and then starts to peel off the cover before stopping “Jacob and Y/N switch spots.” you do as she says and then Tom grabs your hand and holds it, as Zendaya continues to pull it off
“How long have Y/N and Tom been together?” Tom reads
“Oh we answered that earlier! 18 months!” you reply 
“Best 18 months of my life.” Tom smiles at you
“Alright that was a little too cheesy.”  you laugh and read the next one “Are Y/N and Tom engaged? No we are not.” you show off your right hand
“Come on Tom get on it.”
“Yeah Tom pop the question already.” Zendaya and Jacob tease him
“How did Y/N and Tom meet? At her audition to play Jessica Drew.” Tom  asks and then answers and you nod your head. 
“Okay last one love birds,  do Y/N and Tom live together?”
 “We do,” Tom answers “At 12-” you kiss him before he can finish telling the whole world your address.”
“Right, anyway that was our Wired Autocomplete Interview.” You say as you try to fix your lipstick. “Thanks for watching.”
“And don’t forget to see Spider- Man Far From Home July 2nd in a theater near you.” Zendaya signs off. 
“You are the biggest idiot sometimes.” You laugh at your boyfriend as you walk to your ride.
“Yeah but you love me anyway.” he smiles at you
“Yes Thomas for some reason I love you anyway.”

sorry if this has been asked before, but what are your favorite quotes about (romantic) love?
• “I love you. I want us both to eat well.” 
— Christopher Citro, from “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shriek”
• “You kiss the back of my legs and I want to cry. Only the sun has come this close, only the sun.”
— Shauna Barbosa, from “GPS”
• “August. We were arguing. You want love to be like this every day don’t you? 92 degrees even in the shade.”
“I used to be a hopeless romantic. I am still a hopeless romantic. I used to believe that love was the highest value. I still believe that love is the highest value. I don’t expect to be happy. I don’t imagine that I will find love, whatever that means, or that if I do find it, it will make me happy. I don’t think of love as the answer or the solution. I think of love as a force of nature - as strong as the sun, as necessary, as impersonal, as gigantic, as impossible, as scorching as it is warming, as drought-making as it is life-giving. And when it burns out, the planet dies.”
“If love is going to be done differently I will have to do it. I don’t mean as a messiah-thing, I mean as a me-thing. I want to look into your eyes and not get blown up. I want you to see me as I am and not destroy me. I don’t want to retreat into plant life, or have the same bad dream every night. I don’t want to watch a city burn because I was there.”
— Jeanette Winterson
• “I’ll take care of you. / It’s rotten work. / Not to me. Not if it’s you.”
— from Anne Carson’s translation of Orestes
• “I think of you all the time and therefore have little to say that would not embarrass you, for instance my first feeling about the rain was that it was like you.”
— John Cage, from a letter to Merce Cunningham
• “I want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have had you by my side than all the blue in the world.”
— Maggie Nelson, Bluets
• “I want to be a village full of sweethearts, / as you are, every second of the day, / cooking me soups & drawing me pictures / & holding me, my inexplicable & elephant sadness, / with your infinite arms. / But isn’t it true, you are not / always why I am happy. & I promise / it is true, you are almost never why, / why I am sad.”
— Chen Chen, from “Elegy for My Sadness”
• “Look here Vita—throw over your man, and we’ll go to Hampton Court and dine on the river together and walk in the garden in the moonlight and come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come.”
“I always have such need to merely talk to you. Even when I have nothing to talk about – with you I just seem to go right ahead and sort of invent it. I invent it for you. Because I never seem to run out of tenderness for you and because I need to feel you near.”
“I could only think of you as being very distant and beautiful and calm. A lighthouse in clean waters.”
“What can one say — except that I love you and I’ve got to live through this strange quiet evening thinking of you sitting alone. Dearest — let me have a line… You have given me such happiness…”
— Virginia Woolf, from letters to Vita Sackville-West
• “I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone. I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defences. And I don’t really resent it.” 
“Please, in all this muddle of life, continue to be a bright and constant star. Just a few things remain as beacons: poetry, and you, and solitude.”
— Vita Sackville-West, from letters to Virginia Woolf
• “Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.“
— Phoebe Waller-Bridge, in Fleabag
• “i carry your heart with me(i carry it inmy heart)”
— e.e. cummings, from “[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]”
• “There was once a very great American surgeon named Halsted. He was married to a nurse. He loved her-immeasurably. One day Halsted noticed that his wife’s hands were chapped and red when she came back from surgery. And so he invented rubber gloves. For her. It is one of the great love stories in medicine. The difference between inspired medicine and uninspired medicine is love. When I met Ana I knew: I loved her to the point of invention.”
— Sarah Ruhl, The Clean House
• “oh god it’s wonderful / to get out of bed / and drink too much coffee / and smoke too many cigarettes / and love you so much”
— Frank O’Hara, from “Steps”
• “This morning there’s snow everywhere. We remark on it. You tell me you didn’t sleep well. I say I didn’t either. You had a terrible night. “Me too.” We’re extraordinarily calm and tender with each other as if sensing the other’s rickety state of mind. As if we knew what the other was feeling. We don’t, of course. We never do. No matter. It’s the tenderness I care about. That’s the gift this morning that moves and holds me. Same as every morning.”
— Raymond Carver, from “The Gift”
• “Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.”
— Leonard Cohen, in a letter to Marianna Ihlen
• “I think about love on a scale from 1 to 10. Most of us find a 6 or a 7, and that’s why we have divorce. It’s the truth. We settle for that 6 or 7. But I like to think Kevin is Chiron’s 10. He’s found that and he realizes that there’s no reason to settle for a 6 or a 7 because, “I know this person is my 10. Whether or not this person believes I’m his 10, I’m going to devote my life to this person entirely.” That’s why the line where he says, “You’re the only man that’s ever touched me,” for me, was the most amazing, most beautiful thing I’ve seen in cinema, period. Because that’s what we strive for as people, to find that one person because they’re there. If Kevin doesn’t feel that they should be together, Chiron is just going to die a miserable person because that’s his person and he won’t settle for anything else.“
— Trevante Rhodes about Moonlight
• “I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world”
— Frank O’Hara, from “Having a Coke with You” but the whole poem is !
• “The door slammed and someone came home and low voices could be heard, the single lilt of a question as it rose, “How was it?” or “Are you hungry?” Something plain and necessary, yet extra, with care, a voice like those tiny roofs over the phone booths along the train tracks, the ones made from the same shingles used for houses, except only four rows wide—just enough to keep the phone dry. And maybe that’s all I wanted—to be asked a question and have it cover me, like a roof the width of myself.”
— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
• “I keep wishing for you, keep shutting up my eyes and looking toward the sky, asking with all my might for you, and yet you do not come. I thought of you, until the world grew rounder than it sometimes is, and I broke several dishes.”
— Emily Dickinson, in a letter to Minnie Holland
• “I don’t want you to be nervous. Maybe thinking of a walrus would help. Have you seen the video of the penguin accidentally stepping on a sleeping walrus? It thought it was a rock. The walrus wakes up like what the fuck and the penguin scurries off like oh shit. Sometimes it’s funny watching a surprise happen, and not just funny but kind of amazing — like, you never really know what’s what when it comes to this planet.
Then again, when it’s you getting surprised, that’s different. Especially for tender ones like us. What are we supposed to do? It’s bad for our hearts, you know. I hope you won’t need pills like I do. I think I get so scared because I’m greedy — I want to hold onto everything, the world wants to take it away. What the fuck. The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.”
— Mikko Harvey, “For M”
• “Willem sleeps on the left side of the bed, and he on the right, and the first night they slept in the same bed, he turned to his right on his side, the way he always did, and Willem pressed up against him, tucking his right arm under his neck and then across his shoulders, and his left arm around his stomach, moving his legs between his legs. He was surprised by this, but once he overcame his initial discomfort, he found he liked it, that it was like being swaddled. One night in June, however, Willem didn’t do it, and he worried he had done something wrong. The next morning–early mornings were the other time they talked about the things that seemed too tender, too difficult, to be said in the daylight–he asked Willem if he was upset with him, and Willem, looking surprised, said no, of course not. “I just wondered,” he began, stammering, “because last night you didn’t–” But he couldn’t finish the sentence; he was too embarrassed. But then he could see Willem’s expression clear, and he rolled into him and wrapped his arms around him. “This?” he asked, and he nodded. “It was just because it was so hot last night, Willem said, and he waited for Willem to laugh at him, but he didn’t. “That’s the only reason, Judy.” Since then, Willem has held him in the same way every night, even through July, when not even the air-conditioning could erase the heaviness from the air, and when they both woke damp with sweat. This, he realizes, is what he wanted from a relationship all along. This is what he meant when he hoped he might someday be touched.”
— Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
• “No, I didn’t imagine my being alone with you the way you do. If I want the impossible, I want it in its entirety. Entirely alone, dearest, I wanted us to be entirely alone on this earth, entirely alone under the sky, and to lead my life, my life that is yours, without distraction and with complete concentration, in you.”
— Franz Kafka, from a letter to Felice Bauer
• “If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth, to this present time, I would. If I could open up your body and slip inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours, I would.”
— David Wojnarowicz, The Half-Life
• “I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell, I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
— Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
• “If Moses had seen the way my friend’s face blushes when he’s drunk, and his beautiful curls and wonderful hands, he would not have written in his Torah: do not lie with a man”
— Rabbi Yehuda Al-Harizi/Judah Ben Solomon Harizi
• “I’ll rob the bank that gave you the impression that money is more fruitful than words, and I’ll cut holes in the ozone if it means you have one less day of rain. I’ll walk you to the hospital, I’ll wait in a white room that reeks of hand sanitizer and latex for the results from the MRI scan that tries to locate the malady that keeps your mind guessing, and I want to write you a poem every day until my hand breaks and assure you that you’ll find your place, it’s just the world has a funny way of hiding spots fertile enough for bodies like yours to grow roots. I hope our ghosts aren’t eating you alive. If i’m to speak for myself, I’ll tell you that the universe is twice as big as we think it is and you’re the only one that made that idea less devastating.”
— Lucas Regazzi, from “Small”
• “I thought she was sleeping until I heard her call out from across the room, “Will you bring me a glass of water?” I did. Then in her always-sleepy tone and drawl she said, “Do you remember when you were a little girl and you would ask your mama to bring you a glass of water?” Yeah. “You know how half the time you weren’t even thirsty. You just wanted that hand that was attached to that glass that was attached to that person you just wanted to stay there until you fell asleep.” She took the glass of water that I brought her and just sat it down full on the table next to her. Wow, I thought. What am I gonna do with love like this.”
— Dito Montiel, One Night

A Chance Incounter
Ship: Sarah Paulson x Fem!Reader
Request: This is a gift for @welshdragonrawr from @serawalkerwrites ! I was very happy to write it for you and I hope it’s as good as you hoped it would be!
Warning: None just cuteness!
Tumblr media
Your day had been good so far. You left your house right on time, successfully avoiding traffic. Your favourite coffee shop had even gotten your complicated order perfect. Just when you thought that life couldn't get better, the universe showed you just how wrong you had been.
You had been sitting in your seat for almost an hour now. Your hand starting to cramp from signing books for your fans, but nothing could stop you today, you were on a role. You barely heard the young woman in front of you, your body automatically responding to her request for a hug. Your mind too preoccupied with the commotion further back in the line. after the woman left, you turned to your publicist, Cindy.
"What's going on back there?" You asked.
Cindy, who had been standing on her tiptoes in hope of catching a glimpse of who was causing all the ruckus; shrugged her shoulder.
"I was wondering the same thing." She responded. You listened carefully as the security guard spoke.
"If everyone could please line up in a single file, Thank you." He shouted.
Before you could question any further, two women, holding hands stepped forward.You smiled, readjusting your matching robin egg blue blazer and pencil skirt.
The line continued at a comfortable pace, no further disturbance occurring. Not until you were pulled out of your conversation with another reader, when Cindy suddenly shrieked, her hands shooting up to cover her mouth.
You looked back at Cindy, a confused expression on your face.
"I'm sorry Ms, Y/L/N, but it's her!" Cindy's voice was shrill as she stared past you; a truly shocked expression plastered across her face. Not wanting to be rude you turned your attention back to the lady in front of you and did your best not to look past her at the person next in line.
Once they left you sat down and took out a book and placed it on the table in front of you, tossing the dried up sharpie in hand into the garage can. You grabbed a fresh one from the already opened pack and opened the book to the front cover. You still didn't look up, it being the only way to keep yourself calm. See, you knew exactly who Cindy had meant when she said "It's her!" Her was Sarah Catherine Paulson.
You knew that Sarah was a fan of your book, as she had retweeted your book release date. But never had you thought she would come to your book signing. Then a pleasant sound gave you your answer.
"Y/N Y/L/N!" Sarah spoke from in front of you. As your eyes met hers, you felt your heart begin to bang against your ribs. A large smile spread against your face and you leaped to your feet, hardly believing your eyes. You felt nerves nibble at your stomach but you brushed them off, telling yourself that this was not the time.
"Sarah Paulson!?" You exclaimed, with wide eyes. You moved past the table so there was no barrier between the two of you and pulled her into a tight hug. You could smell her delicate perfume and it made your head spin even more then the whole encounter had.
"I can't believe you came!" You exclaimed as you guys parted.
"I'm a huge fan of the book. It's truly a beautiful story. I am so sorry about before." You were confused at first by Sarah's words but suddenly it clicked and you laughed.
"Oh gosh, that was because of you?! I was wondering what was going on!" You moved back to the table and you spoke.
"I feel so bad, I guess I should have known though, with a crowd like this." Sarah whispered. The both of you laughed and you grabbed the sharpie, something to fiddle with to calm your nerves. You shook your head.
"It's totally ok darling!" You couldn't help but smile when you saw the pink blush that spread across Sarah's cheeks that the pet name.
"Evelyn was inspired by you Ms. Paulson!" Cindy exclaimed excitedly as she bounced on her heels. Your face turned bright red and you gave the young woman a “seriously?!?” look before turning back to Sarah.
"I am a very big fan of yours as well." You said, smiling sheepishly. You turned your attention to the blank page and began to write an inscription on the inside cover. Once you were done you stood once again and held out the hardcover book to Sarah.
“I put my number inside. It's so rushed here so if you ever want to, we could get a drink sometime. Holland is invited as well of course." You said happily, a bit nervous as to her response. With a sweet smile, Sarah took the book from you, your hands gently grazing over each other in the exchange.
"That would be fantastic. I'm sure she would love that! Thanks again." Sarah said as she waved.
“Bye!” You shouted as she turned around, opening the book up as she walked towards the cash register. Sarah couldn't help but smile as she read what you had written.
Dear Ms. Paulson,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have inspired me to do in my life. You are truly my greatest muse and I will always be in your debt to you for that.
Give me a text or call sometime and I will be happy to tell you more about how you inspired me to create Evelyn.
Love,
Y/N Y/L/N

✨Let me save you✨
Tumblr media
Summary: Tom is your best friend and he’s currently in a relationship. His relationship was extremely toxic as she was possessive and controlling, but things escalate when you find out she’s abusive as well, mentally and physically.
⚠️⭕️WARNING: abuse is a topic in this story so if that is a trigger, please don’t read! Language and sexual content included.
‘ I’m on the way’ you texted to your best friend Tom Holland. Tom had invited you to dinner to celebrate the release of his most recent movie ‘ spider man- far from home’. You were extremely excited. Ever since he got into his relationship with Sarah freeman, you were seeing him less and less. He would always tell you ,
‘ Taylor made plans’ or ‘ Taylor doesn’t feel good’. His excuses to ditch you always involved Taylor. She didn’t want to share him even though you both had been friends way longer than their relationship. To say the least , you hated her. With a boiling passion. She was stuck up, spoiled and snobby. Anything she wanted, Tom had to jump up and get it or she would pitch a fit. You hated for him. You honestly didn’t understand why he stayed.
But for tonight, you were going to be as nice as you could to her so you didn’t jeopardize your chances of seeing him. You grinned as you looked at yourself in the mirror, admiring the dress Tom had gotten for you last year. It was for your birthday, 9 days before he made it official between him and Taylor. It was right around the chest, making your breast stand out, but flowed out some towards the bottom, stopping just above the knees. It fit your frame so well.
**
You had finally made it to Toms dinner, his brothers and his parents there as well. You are more than upset though because you never could get one time alone with Tom to ask him how he was doing because she was always standing right by him. almost threw out the whole dinner she made it all about herself, not once did you hear her complement Tom on his new job she would just keep speaking about what she was doing for herself or what Tom bought her.  you could see that he was just happy to have everyone there because he was so locked up all the time because of her. She didn’t want him around anyone without her self.
“ when are you going to come over Tom ?” Asked looking over at him. “you’ve got to see the theater room I created” you beamed excitedly. It wasn’t much, it was just a projector in an empty room with bean bag chairs and blankets laid out. You even had a closet full of DVD’s and snacks.
“ oh you finally did it? “ he replied. You had always told him you were jealous of his built in theater at his home and that when you found you something bigger, you were going to get your own too. He had knew you had moved but he has yet to step inside your home. Of course because of Taylor.
“ yeah!” You beamed. “ you’ll love it!”.
You could feel the glare from Taylor though, at this point you had come to the conclusion she didn’t like the thought of any other woman being in Toms life, which was extremely possessive.
“ yeah I’d love that” he exclaimed with a sincere smile. Moments later Taylor set her fork down aggressively before standing up.
“ thank you all for coming to celebrate Tom, but I must go wash up” she said brushing the crumbs off the bottom of her dress. “ goodnight” she said before sticking her nose in the air, walking back towards their shared bedroom. You scoffed shaking your head.
What a fucking bitch.
The rest of Toms’ family got the hint and started to say their goodbyes but you weren’t going to let her win like that.
“ here I’ll help you out dishes up “ you said grabbing your dishes. He nodded before helping you pick them off the table. As you were scraping the eff overs into the trash, you heard Taylor calling out Toms name from the bed room.
“ I’ll be right back” he said before walking towards his room. You sighed heavily, sadness coming over you. It wasn’t fair for your best friend to be dealing with such a horrible person. She was so selfish she couldn’t even let him enjoy a mean with his own family.
“Hey y/n” Tom said walking up next to you.
“ hmm” you said not looking up from the plate you were washing.
“ you gotta go” he said softly. You knew what happened. She complained and whined until she got her way.
“ what do you mean Tom” you asked, even though you already knew the answer. You looked over at him and could see that he wanted to cry he was so upset.
“ please don’t be mad at me” he pleaded, he reminded you of an innocent puppy who’s owner treated him like shit. “ she just doesn’t feel comfortable with us being alone together any. “ he explained. “ she doesn’t know what either of our intentions are” you scoffed rolling your eyes.
“ Tom are you fucking kidding me?” Yoh snapped. You weren’t even being quiet anymore. You wanted her to hear you at this point. “ this is bullshit she can’t tell you who you can and can’t hang out with “ you said. You were fuming at this point. How dare she.
“Y/n I know I know I just-“
“ no Tom! Man up!” At this point his head was lowered , too humiliated to even look at you. You really weren’t mad at him. You were pissed at her. The disappointment in him for allowing someone to treat him like that was radiating off of you by now though. You knew he deserved better and so did he. “ this is not the Tom I know” you said, your voice lowering with each word. At this point you didn’t want to say anything else that might hurt him out of anger so you walked back into the dining room grabbing your stuff before heading out the door without even saying a goodbye.
You sat in your car for a moment contemplating on whether or not you should go back inside and apologize to Tom for the way you acted. He honestly didn’t deserve you snapping on him like that but your anger was towards her not him.  but before you could even make your mind up, you heard yelling and even glass breaking inside.
“ oh my God” you said before jumping back out of the car, running towards the door. You started knocking really really hard, praying you got someone’s attention before things got worse. Everything went quiet for a second before the front door swung open. It was Taylor. She noticed it was you and push the door back to almost being closed to where you could only see her.
“ What do you want Y/N “ she spat out.
“ I thought I heard- never mind where is Tom?” You asked crossing your arms.
“ he’s unavailable Y/n I really think you should leave” she stated. She still hadn’t opened the door up, as if she was hiding something. “ and if we are being honest here, I really don’t think yours and Tom’s friendship is appropriate anymore”
Bitch what?
“ well with all due respect Taylor I don’t care what you think right now I want to know where Tom is” you snapped back . Seconds later you heard someone sniffle, as if they were crying. You quickly pushed open to door to see Tom in the living room on the couch. “TOM” you yelled, making him look up. You couldn’t believe your eyes. He had tears in his eyes with a wet wash cloth up ahi sat his nose, blood lover the wash cloth.
“ what the FUCK did you do to him!?” You yelled, pushing Taylor back with both hands against her chest.
“ y/n Stop!” Tom yelled but before you had even realized what you were doing , your hands were clenched in fists, swinging at Taylor. You were fuming, adrenaline pumping through your body as you kept swinging at her. She tried to fight you off by kicking your leg at you and pushing at your arms but to no avail.
“ y/n stop please!l Tom yelled while wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you in the air off of Taylor.
“ you can fucking have him” she cried out while getting up, wiping the blood up off her nose . “ you’re fucking psycho!” She yelled at you before grabbing her purse and keys, running outside.
“ are you okay?” He asked brushing your face out of your hair while you tried catching your breath.
“ she didn’t even touch me Tom” you said looking back at him, dried up blood on the edge of his nostrils. “ are you okay?” You asked putting your hands around his face.
“ I -I don’t know what happened y/n” he said reminiscing back to their argument. “ she was just so mad and jealous and I told her I couldn’t do it anymore, that she couldn’t keep pushing everyone and way and she just snapped” he said running his fingers through his hair stressfully. “ I told her to calm down and she started shoving stuff off of the night stands. I mean she broke my lamp that my dad got me. and when I grabbed her arm to get her to stop she just .. she hit me” he said sitting down on the couch. He lowered his head down into his hands, his breath trembling as he tried to hold back the tears.
“ this is not your fault Tom. She was possessive and toxic as shit and I am so so sorry” you said hugging him from the side. You both cried together for a few moments in silence . He didn’t deserve a lick of this .
“ what if she calls the police, or-or tells the press” he stated frantically. You could tell he was panicking but you just grabbed his face making him look at you.
“ Tom look at me , it’s two against one. She hit you! You never touched her. Anyone and everyone who knows you knows you’d never lay a finger on her or anyone at that matter” you stated , rubbing your thumb against your cheek. “ I love you so much” your voice started trembling as you wanted to cry. “ I will never ever let another woman hurt you like that again Tom. I should’ve intervened back when she started showing signs “ you said shaking yourself .
“ this isn’t your fault Y/N it’s my fault for staying” he exclaimed trying to take the blame off of yourself.
“ no” you said sternly. “ this is all on her okay . Tom she’s a horrible person” . You quickly wrapped your hands around him, holding tight onto him.
“ I don’t ever want to lose you” he said softly, slowly pulling his head away from yours. “ you’re so perfect” he said staring at your lips. Before you could even think you leaned in , pressing your lips against his.
“ I-I’m sorry” you stuttered as you pulled away. He shook his head before leaning back in kissing you again. This time it was more heated than before. Your hands found there way through his hair, tugging slightly while your tongues moved along each others.
“ owe” Tom said breaking the make out session.
“ oh I’m sorry” you exclaimed , realizing you were bumping into his nose. “ cmon we’ll clean that up”.
he followed you into his bedroom towards his bathroom where you both had to step over the knocked over items and broken glass from the lamp.
“ sit” you demanded pointing towards the counter. Tom propped himself up against it while you used a wet wash cloth wiping away the dry blood from his nose. While you focused on cleaning him, you felt his hand trailing up the sides of your thigh, moving closer and closer towards your throbbing area. You felt shivers run through your body as his fingers glided so easily up your body.
“ Tom” you whispered, leaning your forehead against his.
“I want you” he whispered back, his hand now placed firmly against your heat. You gasped loudlyas you felt him rub upwards against you, causing friction that you didn’t realized you craved so much. “ please” he said before cocking his head to the side, his lips connecting with yours once again. You quickly tossed down the wash cloth before grabbing the sides of Toms face, while his moved to the back of your thighs. He quickly switched places with you propping you up against the countertop this time, his tooth brush and cologne falling off the the side. You only broke your kiss for a second while he pulled his shirt off over his head , only to connect lips again. You reached behind your back unzipping your dress as Tom kissed down your neck to your collar bones , sucking on the skin slightly.
“ Tom” you said in between kisses.
“Yeah”
“ your pants” you suggested while tugging at the top of his jeans .
“ oh “ he said scooting back before sliding down his pants and briefs. Your eyes wired as his thick long cock bounced back up against his stomach. Your eyes roaming his whole now naked figure in front of you. He had the body of a literal God. “ lift your hips” he said while tugging against yours . You giggled as he almost pulled you off of the counter trying to pull your dress and panties down your legs.
“ condom?” You questioned, looking around. He nodding before opening the bottom cabinet door, pulling a box of condoms out.
“ you ready?l he asked, lifting your legs up over his arms. You nodded quickly looking him in the eyes. You both moaned out loudly as he he slid himself in you only to pull himself back out. You leaned your back against the mirror as Tom went in and out of you at a rapid pace, your breast bouncing with each thrust. The bathroom echoed with moans and the sounds of your skin slapping together, the mirror steaming up from your hot breaths. You reached down, your hand on his abs as the muscles flexed with each thrust.
“ god Tom” you screamed out as one of his hands found their way to your clit, rubbing fast in circular motions. You could feel yourself getting close so you wrapped your legs around Toms waste, pulling him deeper. Watching you climax sent Tom over, his moan becoming deep and long. You both road out your orgasms before Tom pulled o if, tossing the filled condom in the trash.
“ wow” you beamed sliding off of the counter.
“ why didn’t we do that sooner?” He asked while getting himself dressed. You shrugged sliding your panties but up.
“ cause I wasn’t beating any of your girlfriends ass “ you joked looking back up.
“ well maybe there won’t be anymore girls “ he said making the conversation go from casual to serious. You furrowed your eyebrows together, cocking your head to the side in confusion. “ y/n you’ve been there for me through everything . “ he exclaimed . “ literally. You know me the best , you’re beautiful, smart .. you’re just perfect” he said grabbing your hands. “ I’ve realized no one can make me as happy as you do” he said pulling you close . You thought about it . All your past relationships never worked out either, you were never fully happy with them , especially not as happy as you were with Tom.
“ so what are you suggesting ? “ you said grinning.
“ be mine” he said. “ not just my best friend “
You thought for a moment, pretending to hesitate on the question , laughing when you realized he was becoming worried.
“ of course Tom”
******
Let me know if you guys want an opposite version of this, where you’re in the toxic relationship and he’s the best friend. 💖

Soul Surfer 6
Tumblr media
AN: SURPRISE BITCHES chapter 6 came early!!! we get some cute Kie/Sarah/Violet action in this as well as some John B/Violet! we stan healthy platonic relationships!!
ALSO: i can’t tag anymore people 😭 i’ve reached the 50 tags limit! if anyone has any suggestions to tag more people, dm me!!
It had been around five days since Violet had spoken to JJ. Kiara made sure that the girl still knew that her, John B and Pope still wanted her around. They weren’t about to give up two friends because JJ was being an idiot.
Kiara knew that Violet was worried that they’d stop hanging out with her because JJ was their best friend. But to Kiara, Violet was also her best friend. In such a short amount of time too.
Violet had been throwing herself into work, all of the orders keeping her mind busy from wandering to JJ. Which it often did most nights and then she resorted to watching true crime shows on Netflix as a distraction.
JJ wasn’t doing any better. He kept trying to get her to talk to him so he could apologize but it was no use. Violet wouldn’t budge. He hated not being able to see her and to talk to her. He had to go back to sleeping at John B’s whenever he was afraid to go home. Of course he was grateful he had a place to go, but he wanted it to be Violet.
Violet hadn’t seen Pope and John B since the night at the Boneyard. She didn’t want them picking sides between her and JJ. It would have made her feel more guilty than she already did.
Kiara and Sarah, however, made sure they stuck by her like glue. Violet couldn’t seem to shake them but she didn’t mind at all.
Violet, Sarah and Kiara were presently at The Wreck having a well needed girls day.
“Okay, okay, Vi. If you had to choose: Harry Styles or Tom Holland?” Sarah asked. “That’s not fair! It’s like asking me to pick a favorite child!” Violet replied. Kiara and Sarah laughed at the girl’s response as she pondered the thought.
“Okay, fine. Harry Styles. Any day of the week.” Violet answered. The three girls sat at their table, falling into mindless conversation about boys and clothes, just happy they were able to spend time together, when the bell on top of the door rang.
Their attention was grabbed by the sound. Violet’s heartbeat sped up rapidly when her eyes landed on the blonde boy.
“Vi, I didn’t know he’d be here.” Kiara said quietly. “It’s fine.” Violet said, fidgeting with the rings on her fingers.
“Hey guys! You didn’t tell us you were hanging out today.” John B greeted the three. “Last time I checked this is girls day. Which you are not.” Kiara sassed back.
Violet refused to look up at her friend as they conversed with each other. She could feel JJ’s eyes on her and it made her skin feel on fire.
It was starting to slowly overwhelm her and she heard JJ utter a few words, she quickly got up from her chair and exited the establishment. Sarah and Kiara looked at each other before JJ followed after her.
“Violet!” He called. Violet didn’t stop walking, not wanting to face him. “Please talk to me.” JJ begged, grabbing her arm gently. “I told you to leave me alone.” Violet said, ripping her arm from his grasp.
She still refused to look at him, knowing that if she did, she’d actually end up listening to his potential apology.
“God, can you at least look at me?” He asked. Violet paused a moment before she finally looked up at him.
Only then did he see how upset she really was. At the Boneyard, the darkness hid her face and he silently wished for that again.
“What do you wanna say, JJ? You’re sorry? Sorry for what you said? You wish you could take it all back? Well you can’t! I trusted you. I didn’t tell anyone about my mom and you decided to use that against me.” Violet snapped. “Violet, I,” JJ started before the brunette scoffed and turned away.
JJ was persistent, however, going after Violet once more in another desperate attempt to get her to listen to him.
“I screwed up! I know that! I was mad at Rafe for what he said and instead of finishing to take it out on him, I took it out on you and I’m sorry!” JJ said.
Violet rolled her eyes and kept ignoring him by the time they approached her house.
“Please, JJ, just stop.” She pleaded quietly. JJ could see the hurt in her eyes. How her once bright, cerulean blue eyes were now a darker shade. He would describe it as how the ocean looked during a storm. And he wanted nothing more than to stop her pain.
Before either of them could continue with the painful conversation, the sound of raised voices alerted them both.
“Vivienne, you need to leave now.” Rob’s voice said. JJ watched as Violet’s eyes widened and the color seemingly drained from her face. “She’s my daughter too, Rob.” A woman said.
The two ‘adults’ walked on to the porch and their conversation ceased when they saw Violet and JJ.
“Violet, honey,” Vivienne started. “No. No, this is not happening.” She muttered. “What the fuck are you doing here?” Violet sneered. “Language, young lady.” Her mother scolded her. “You lost the right to tell me what to do when you gave up your parental rights!” Violet yelled.
“Vi, it’s okay.” Her older brother, Nick, said. Violet looked at her brother in disbelief at the fact that he was defending their mother.
Nick was three years older than Violet, the two being inseparable since Violet was born. That was until their mother took him and left. When Nick was old enough, he reached back out to Violet and their father trying to rebuild that bond they once shared. It worked for the most part though Violet never told Nick where they moved to.
“Both of you shut up.” Violet snapped. She turned around quickly when she realized JJ was still standing close to her. “You were right. Guess I am a sad little rich girl with mommy issues.” She muttered to him before she took off running.
“Violet!” Rob yelled. “Vi!” JJ added. The two males looked at each other momentarily before their gaze returned to Violet’s fleeting figure.
__
“You shouldn’t have come here, Vivienne. You knew what this would do to her.” Rob told his ex wife. “She’s still my child. I have a right.” Vivienne said. “You lost your right when you left! You signed away your parental rights to Violet the second you signed the divorce papers.” Rob yelled.
The room fell in a silence, though that didn’t stop the two teenage boys from eavesdropping on the porch.
“It’s been 10 years. 10 years and I’ve taken care of Violet just fine. We have been just fine.” Rob added.
Back on the porch, JJ and Nick sat on sides from each other. “So, you Violet’s boyfriend?” Nick asked, breaking the silence. “God, I wish.” JJ muttered before quickly correcting himself.
“Uh, no. We’re just friends. Or at least we were before I messed it up.” He added. Nick was quiet for a moment as he moved to lean on the porch railing.
“Take it from me, losing Violet sucks. But, if you beg and plead enough, she’ll let you back in.” He said. “Did you tell your mom Violet and Rob were here?” JJ asked. “God, no. Violet didn’t even tell me. Just because I’m back in her good graces doesn’t mean she tells me everything.” the older boy answered.
JJ thought for a moment until he realized he might know where Violet went.
On one of the many adventures JJ and Violet had together, JJ took her to a secret clearing he once discovered when he was running from his dad.
“Where are you taking me?” Violet asked with a laugh. “You ask too many questions.” JJ answered. “I’ve seen Criminal Minds, is this where you kill me?” She questioned. “No, pretty girl. I couldn’t survive without seeing that face every day.” JJ replied flirtatiously.
Violet rolled her eyes until they came upon a clearing in the woods. There was a small waterfall that went into a small pond below. “Wow, it’s beautiful.” She commented.
“That’s not the only thing.” JJ said, hoping Violet wouldn’t hear him but she did. “I know how you’ve been missing home so I thought this would help.” The blonde said.
Violet looked up at JJ before she wrapped her arms around him. “Thank you.” Violet whispered.
JJ knew Violet wouldn’t want him to be the one to find her, so he sent a text to the rest of the Pogues.
Kie had to work, as did Pope, and Sarah was dealing with her own messed up familial issues. John B was the only one able to go find Violet. JJ trusted him to talk her off whatever edge she found herself on.
The boy wandered through the woods, following JJ’s instructions, though the teenager wasn’t so good at giving directions. He swatted at the numerous bugs getting in his face when he found the clearing.
He saw Violet sitting on a rock, her feet dangling in the water. “Fancy seeing you here.” John B announced.
Violet turned around and saw her distant friend standing a few feet away. “How’d you find me?” She asked. “JJ. He figured you wouldn’t want to see him but he wanted to make sure you were okay.” John B explained, walking towards her.
He sat down on the rock next to her as the two looked at the waterfall for a moment.
“Did he tell you what happened?” Violet asked. “No. He told me some family stuff was going on and wanted someone to check on you. Said it was your story to tell.” He answered.
Violet sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. “He’s really trying, isn't he?” She asked him. “He really likes you, Vi. He’s never fallen this hard before and I don’t think he knows how to handle it. But yeah, he really is trying.” John Be said.
After an hour, John B drove Violet back home. By that point, the sun had set and it was already dark.
Violet sat in the van, staring at her house for a moment. Scared of what she was going to walk into. “It’s now or never.” John B told her. “And I’ll tell JJ you’re okay.” He added.
The girl groaned before getting out of the van. She gave John B a small wave as she slowly walked up the stairs.
“You’re back.” A voice said. Violet jumped and turned in that direction to see her brother sitting on the porch swing. Violet sighed and took a seat next to him.
“That guy was here for a while. At least two hours. We heard mom and dad fighting about you.” Nick said. “He really cares about you.” He added.
“So I’ve been told.” She muttered. “You sticking around?” She asked. “That’s why I’m here. I’m getting emancipated and I needed dad to sign off on the papers and mom followed me here. When I caught on she said it had something to do with getting us back or whatever. She’s crazy.” Nick explained.
“Tell me something I don’t know. So can I count on you to help me get rid of her?” Violet asked. “What are brothers for?” NIck replied.
Violet rested her head on her brother’s shoulder, her brain working a mile a minute.

The Beginning of the End
Tumblr media
Pairing: Harry Styles x Reader 
Word Count: 1,041
Summary: Harry doesn’t know how to get Y/N to realize that he doesn’t hate her. Thankfully, Mitch has the perfect idea.
Warning(s): Some swearing, plotting and planning, Harry being a complete lovesick fool, Y/N isn’t present in this, it’s a hitch friendship moment.
A/N: This is technically part of the The View From Both Sides of The Mirror universe! (If you haven’t read the fic it’s based upon, you can always read that here) Anyways, I am completely in love and entirely invested in their story, so this is just one of the many blurbs that I have planned (as of right now there are two or three others that I’m thinking about writing!!)
As always, positive feedback is appreciated! If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all, and make sure to reblog to share with your friends if you enjoy it!

*
~Approximately two weeks before the beginning of The View From Both Sides of The Mirror.~
Harry audibly groans, drawing the attention of the other man in the room, causing him to snap his attention towards the sound. His long brown hair is almost down to his shoulders again, so the strands sway for a moment after his attention has been trained on the, obviously upset, young man.
“What’s wrong this time, H?” Mitch asks, his soft-spoken manner a stark contrast of the outburst that just wracked through Harry’s body.
“She hates me, man.” He groans, the chestnut curls atop his head falling slightly out of place as he drops his head to his hands. He uses his palms to begin massaging his eyes and his fingertips to knead at the sensitive skin of his temples, trying to soothe the headache that had been plaguing him for the majority of the day.
“Who?” Mitch, of course, already knows the answer to his query, the only thing that the young star had been talking about for the past few weeks was Y/N. 
“Oh, shut it, Mitch. You know who I’m talking about.” Harry grumbles. The older man can’t help but chuckle. He doesn’t understand how Harry can be so adamant on making Y/N think that he hates her when he’s actually head over heels for her.
“Why don’t you just cut the act already?” Harry scowls at the suggestion, already having a thousand reasons why that just won’t work. “The worst she can do is continue to hate you. There won’t be much of a change.”
Harry heaves the throw pillow that he was clutching, almost hitting Mitch square in the face.Thankfully, the guitarist has quick instincts, so he catches the pillow just before it makes contact. 
“Shut the fuck up.” Harry grumbles. Mitch didn’t know what he was talking about. Harry couldn’t just all of a sudden change how he’s been acting about her. That would look too suspicious. And it’s not like he was up for the rejection.
“Just stop being a little bitch and talk to her.” MItch pitches the pillow back at harry, who easily catches it before hugging it back to his chest. “What’s so different about her? What’s so different from the other girls, the ones that you seem to have no trouble talking to?”
“I don’t know.” Harry sighs, rearranging himself until he’s spread across the couch. “She’s just so pretty. And even when she’s arguing with me and hurling nasty comments, she’s still so sweet about it somehow.” To Mitch, this makes absolutely no sense, but he’s going to continue to let Harry ramble, knowing that he’ll feel better after he just talks it out. “And she lights up every space that she enters. God, I don’t know how she does it, but she can make the cloudy thunder storming days seem like it’s sunny outside.” Harry nuzzles his face into the pillow he’s still holding onto. “And the way she looks at me, bloody hell, it’s a privilege to be looked at by her. Her eyes are so fucking beautiful, and the way that she seems to look at who you really are, even for just a moment, makes my heart squeeze.
“I feel like I can’t breathe around her, but in the best way possible.” Mitch is just staring at him now, no more smirks or snide remarks running through his head. The only thing that he can piece together while listening to Harry gush on and on about this girl is, wow, he’s got it bad. Of course, he’ll never say that to him, knowing that he’d immediately brush it off. Harry isn’t the best with emotions, and he’s even worse when it comes to commitment. “And, lord, Mitch, when she brushes past me and her skin touches mine? I feel like every one of my nerve endings are on fire.
“She makes me feel things that I never thought I’d feel again. I thought for a long time that I was unlovable, that I was the problem.” Harry’s throat begins to get closed up, the words sounding more and more forced, but he continues. “And I’ve just started to think that maybe I’m worth it, you know?” Mitch nods, although he knows that Harry won’t bother looking over at him. “And there’s just something about her that makes me want to risk it all.”
“Then do it. If she’s worth it, then go for it.” Mitch can sense his hesitance, so he quickly elaborates on his thought. “You can take it slowly. Try to find ways to be nicer to her. I know you’ll still come off as a dick because you’re used to doing so by now, but just try to ease into it.” Mitch stops for a moment, trying to gauge Harry’s reaction. All he gets is a wave of Harry’s hand, signaling for him to continue. “Just start to find ways to let her know that you care. Don’t rush either of you into it.”
“Yeah, maybe I could do that.” Harry conceded, knowing that Mitch is a lot wiser than him. And if his relationship with Sarah has anything to say for him, he’s a lot better at relationships as well. “I just don’t know when we’ll spend enough time together for me to do anything.”
Mitch is quiet for a moment, thinking it over. “Aren’t you going on that vacation with Sam and Lexi?” Harry just nods, not understanding what that has to do with anything. “And you said there was room for one more person?” He gives yet another nod, still not comprehending what Mitch is trying to say. “Make sure that she goes. Regardless of what it takes, make sure that she is on the flight.”
The realization finally washes over Harry, and he doesn’t think that he’s ever had someone give him such a great idea.
‘Yeah, I think I can do that.” He assures Mitch, who just nods.
And at that exact moment, Harry decides that this trip will be the week that changes the way Y/N perceives him. It will be the end of them as enemies, and hopefully be the beginning of them as lovers.

The Statue Part 7|Tom Holland
Tumblr media
Last Part: x
She stood back arms wide open as her lady’s maid helped her into the gown for the wedding they were attending in weeks time. The garden party had gone successfully much to the Queen and King’s surpirse. Depise the issue with Lady Jessica, if one would even call it that. Her cheeks were blown as a small frown worked it’s way onto her face, all of her training had never conducted what to do when a situation like that accorded. Prince Thomas had assured her time and time again that she had handled the situation with much more grace than he could ever. 
“Lady Y/N..” 
She jumped slightly winching as a niddle prickled her skin, the stylist looked back mortifed as the young woman waved her off with a soft smile. The Queen couldn’t help but admire the young woman before her, each day she managed to surpirse the royals with an amount of grace and understanding. 
“My Queen.” she bowed as the Queen waved her off with a soft smile. The staff quickly left at the Queen’s request, as she took a place behind y/n. Their eyes meeting in the mirror as the Queen reached over placing the most beautiful crown ontop of her head. 
“A true princess.” 
It was silent between them for a few seconds before Lady y/n let out a soft sigh. Her hands gripping the edges of her dress as she turned to face the Queen with tear filled eyes. 
“Oh sweetheart..” 
Queen Nicola’s heart ached at the sight before her, she quickly embraced her as her eyes filled with tears themseleves watching the woman who was trying so hard to be strong. Y/N was so much stronger than what Nicola and her husband gave her credit for, and it truly showed at the garden party, the amount of elgance and grace she carried was astonishing. Yet, the Queen knew the young girl was struggling, and this moment right here was proof that no matter how strong you are, you needed someone to be a shoulder to cry on. 
“I’m so sorry my Queen..” she rushed out through her tears as the Queen gave her a soft smile. Her thing hands reaching out to wipe the tears that were staining her daughter-in-law’s face. “I’m so sorry about how I handled things.” 
“You have nothing to apologize for Y/N..” 
It was silent between them as Nicola, settled them both on the floor. Fresh tears escaping y/n’s eyes as everything wa suddenly becoming too much and the sudden fear that maybe she wasn’t enough. She wasn’t born for this world, this wasn’t her normal and she wasn’t sure if she’d ever fit into whatever standers she was set to met. 
“I”m trying so hard, God I really am..” she started as the Queen smiled softly giving her permission to speak. It wasn’t that she needed it but Nicola knew that there was something bothering here, something so much deeper than the Lady Jessica incident that her son had brought up. 
“I want so badly to be everything and more that’s expected of me. I want to make Thomas so proud, it’s so scary. I want to be able execute the proper level of elegance and make yourself and the King proud. I don’t want to embrass any of you.” 
“Oh sweetheart, have you worded you feelings to Thomas?” 
The young woman shook her head, as the Queen opened her lips to speak but was cut off by the young woman. 
“He already has so much on his plate my Queen. I can’t imagine having most of my life taken away from me, going day in and day out watching people mock me in a way that I can’t even defened myself. He has been so worried trying his hardest to please everyone I don’t need to add onto his burden.” 
“You are the utter most important person to Thomas..” she breathed out knowing that this issue ran deeper than a few homesick nights. “You are the absolute center of his universe my Lady. I know it’s a bit forced upon but I want you to know he speaks of you as if you hung the stars and moon.” 
Her eyes widen as tears began to reappear at the words spoken to her, a wave of warmth washing through her body as the Queen smiled softly at her. 
“My son Y/N/..” she chuckled softly looking up at the ceiling with a warm smile and a feeling that only a mother could describe washed through her. “You have shaped him so well these past few months my lady, even when he was younger he’s never been so driving to exceed in everything like he’s doing.” 
Lady Y/N looked at her with flushing cheeks and a soft smile, the tears streaming down her face as the Queen held her cheeks in the palm of her hands. 
“He may not have fully admitted it to himself but he is completely and utterly in love with you. You have left everything you known to live a life that’s so far from the ordinary. You have given him a strength that he didn’t know he required.” 
“My-” 
“Nicola, Lady y/n.” 
“Nicola, I don’t know what to say.” 
“You don’t need to say anything my darling. Just know you have done absolutely nothing wrong. You handled Lady Jessica with the most grace anyone in your situation could have handle it. I have no worries of you ruling beside my son.” 
“I love him too..” she breathed out as Nicola smiled placing a soft kiss on her forehead whispring the softest ‘I know.’ Because it was in that moment that the Queen knew the only way for her son to have found his princess was for that spell to have been casted. 
“And he loves way more than we’d ever know.”
