Summary: pure exhaustion and mutual pining, Tom Holland x actress!reader

^(just thought this was cute, doesn't really fit aha but full credit to op!!)

A scheduling nightmare would be putting it lightly. Perhaps almost unavoidable but that didn’t make it any less of a hellish form a torture. Harry had very helpfully said it actually was a form of torture, that is sleep deprivation. Y/n loved her job - it was all she’d ever really wanted - yet that thought was quickly becoming not enough to get her through the day. Not when it felt like an interrogation tactic used by the CIA. 

To give a quick timeline of the past few days may give a little context:

Thursday - filming the fight scene all day plus an evening-turned-half-the-night-shoot due to some technically difficulties delaying the process.

Friday - flying to New York while doing read throughs of scenes for the next few days; followed immediately by getting glammed and filming the tonight show with Fallon; then a dash across town to the late late show with James Corden; then straight back on a flight to Atlanta that landed at stupid o’clock in the morning

Saturday - a full day of shooting in a mock grand central station set

The press trip to NY had been unplanned… to say the least. But the star of their studios other new release had taken ill - meaning they had slots booked on some of the biggest talk shows in America that would just be abandoned (angering the shows bookers too). It was a waste of perfectly good promo time and since the studio had their two other stars together doing a block of reshoots - it wasn’t a conversation. Much more a call demanding the two of them to be on the plane.

Normally this wouldn’t be such an unmanageable ask either, except the reshoot block was really rather time pressured. You see, the promo tour wasn’t far from beginning meaning they really needed the final film in the can. So really it was a bit of a mess. Just to free up that single day the two were in New York the whole schedule had had to be rejigged - in doing so they’d lost a rare day off too. It was just typical.  

The joys of success hey?

Well, that’s at least what Y/n was making herself think whilst her incredibly talented SFX artist was in the process of crafting a deep wound onto her upper arm. The reason why she would be ‘dripping with blood’ whilst at a train station was beyond Y/n to be honest - she hadn’t been allowed to read a lot of the script so even now as filming was drawing to a close, the story arc of the movie she was headlining was still a little ‘fuzzy’.

“So I watched your ‘spill your guts’ thing on YouTube” Ellie giggled whilst reaching over for more prosthetic putty- a technical term apparently

“I’m glad one of us enjoyed the experience” Y/n replied with a sigh, rolling her eyes at the mischievous smirk on her face - no doubt Ellie took great joy out of seeing her suffer through eating a thousand year old egg. Which Y/n swore the taste of was still in her mouth… and it seemed as though it’d never leave. 

“Oh don’t worry darling I did too” Nelli called over from the next chair along, where she was doing Tom’s makeup for the day of shoots. “Between that and the animals on Fallon, you made a hell of a lot of people laugh last night” Tom’s artist was referencing the fact one of Jimmys other guests was a zookeeper, so at the end of the interview he had you and Tom join in trying not to scream at the snakes and spiders.

“You mean laugh at us?” 

“Well of course darling!” Nelli exclaimed back in an overdramatic bronx accent making all three of the women burst out laughing, Ellie’s unceremonious snorts echoing through the trailer only egged them all on more.

Tom in response, who had otherwise been absent from conversation for the majority of the morning, exclaimed a curse and jumped up in his chair. While you and Ellie collected yourself, Nelli apologised to him.

“Oh sorry love, I’m interrupting your snooze with my uncontrollable comedic gift” She spoke sweetly, even if still taking the moment to flaunt to the other women, as she squeezed his shoulder compassionately.

“No no” Tom waved off her apology, attempting to rub his eye before Nelli swatted his arm away - a stern look for the risk of ruining all her hard work she’d put into making his face look half presentable. 

“I’m impressed you can sleep while they poke you with all these er instruments” Y/n added in, having only just realised Tom had been in a light sleep for god knows how long they’d been in that chair. It did seem a bit unlikely, being able to fall asleep as you were dabbed, prodded and brushed. 

“Maybe you should try though Y/n… your purple eye bags are proving a struggle even for me” Ellie quipped back, now it was Y/n’s turn to give the stern look. Tom took the explain though, shutting her off from whatever kindly meant insult she was about to throw back at her friend. 

“No normally never, I just….” He was cut off by an ear splitting yawn, appearing almost powerful enough to crack his jaw - which would be a disaster, for no one should ruin such a beautiful and sharp jaw line. “…uh-sorry. I just think I ended up taking my NyQuil and DayQuil the wrong way round in the madness of yesterday.” Only Tom, the poor kid often seemed to lacking in any form of common sense - even if those closest to him knew just how intellectual and passionate he could be about the right topic. Affectionately, Nelli scalded his idiocy by jokingly swatting his head with a little tut.

“I can’t believe your still standing then! I’m barely alive and I don’t have any sedatives in my system.” It was true, Y/n was at that stage where every part of her body felt ridiculously heavy… eyes included … eyes especially. 

“But I did sleep on the jet back while your stupid self was studying the script!” Tom replied with a pretty inarguable point - at the time he knew her actions were stupid;  when their flight took off at 11 PM he was certain that the most valuable asset to his ability to act in the reshoots today would be sleep - rather than character development. And he’d tried to convince Y/n that briefly, but gave up. She was bloody stubborn when she wanted to be. 

“Stop competing about who has it worse cos I think it’s me and Nell”Ellie announced - making Nelli agree empathically with her coworker, nodding her head as she looked first to Y/n in her chair then back at Tom.

“Yeh because we have to deal with your unusable faces!!”

After much sarcasm thrown back and fourth, the trailer slowly ebbed it’s way back into serenity and peace as both artists focused on their work. Once Nelli was done she excused herself, Tom staying in the chair in favour of studying (more like staring blankly) at the dialogue for this mornings scenes. His pretence didn’t last long though and while Ellie was busy adding the final touches of fake blood to the now almost completely believable gash that she’d crafted on Y/n’s arm - Y/n had her attention focused the opposite way.

At poor little Tom. He looked so childlike, his slightly puffy eyes looked as if they had weights tied to them - they way he was having fight against gravity to flutter his eyes open, before loosing the next second only for the process to repeat as they dragged downwards. The broad muscles of his neck occasionally seemed to occasionally let up a little, letting his head tilt slowly at first until it gathered enough momentum to throw him off balance. The then sudden movement of his head unconsciously pulling itself back in line caused his eyes to bolt open prior to the whole cycle repeating again. All Y/n wanted to do was let him lay down someone, her heart feeling a tug in her chest just seeing him like that. 

Ellie proclaimed her completion of the wound, leaning back to admire her work before looking to get an affirming nod from Y/n. Yet instead, she was too preoccupied gazing at the boy slouched across from them. “Someone seems a little distracted.” Ellie smirked, finally garnering Y/n’s attention, only feeling more and more smug watching a light tint appear on the actors cheeks. 

“I-well-no… we need to go.” Y/n ignored her words as though nothing had happened, instead rushing off the chair to get Tom out the chair and onto the awaiting set. They had places to be.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||| (bcos im lazy)

Honestly when the director, Ed, called for lunch break, it was pretty apparent to be purely as a compassionate gesture to Y/n and Tom. Both of them had tried so hard this morning to fully commit, even so they’d both been almost completely useless. Y/n kept missing cues whilst all Tom’s actions and lines where slow, dragged out and at times completely prompted from someone behind the cameras. 

So when the lunch break was called there was only one thing on Y/n’s mind and what sandwich was available in the mess tent was not it. Still standing on the set next to her fake holdall bag she looked toward Tom, who was pulling himself up to standing from the train station bench - the pace of his movement making him look more like an old man. 

“You good?” His answer was predictable. 

“I’m so fucking shattered”

Tom swore he’d never heard anything sweeter come out of Y/n’s pink lips than her next statement.

“C’mon I know somewhere we can lie down.”

Without any sort of thought Tom blindly agreed, nodding as he took her outstretched hand in his. The gesture in itself brought a fresh wave of comfort to his aching limbs and as his feet stumbled to catchup with her slight head start he leant the majority of his weight into their connected hands. 

Neither would admit it but they were ‘a thing’… whatever the hell that meant. It was clear as day to everyone and anyone that worked closely to the two but neither of them had ever broached the topic with each other. They’d worked on a few films together over the years; each time they got closer and closer to the point any job without the other simply wasn’t as good. It was scary though, especially for two actors in the prime of their careers. If they weren’t working the same film they’d likely be the opposite side of the world to each other most of the time - quality time together would be few and far between, Really their jobs didn’t suit dating at all, yet it would be perhaps easier if one half of it worked a ‘normal’ job. Something with consistency, a regular structure. A level of dependability that neither Y/n nor Tom could offer to the other. 

So it was terrifying, acknowledging the growth in their magnetic attraction to each other. Both were acutely aware that doing that, confronting their feelings, would most likely signal the beginning of the end. 

Although none of this stoped Y/n from returning the gesture, tilting her shoulder into Tom’s left side as they took slow steps through and then out the set building. She steered the two past the hair and makeup trailer and round into a store and extra equipment trailer. Tom tilted his head as she climbed the stairs whilst beckoning for him to follow - it didn’t seem like the most obvious choice. Rolling her eyes, Y/n explained.

“It’s where all the blankets and coats and kept for the raining scenes plusssss no one will disturb us in here.” Again Tom was not in a position to disagree, eyes drooping as his shoulders sagged to the floor. Right now he’d take anything. 

So he climbed up the stairs and shut the door behind him, just as Y/n flipped the light on. She was right, it was well equipped and with an almost mountainous supply of red blankets that normally the crew and extra would all be wrapped up in after the freezing rain scenes with all the ‘waterfall machines’ as Y/n called them. However it was also um…. It was cosy. “Oh I don’t think I realised how small it was” She chuckled lightly, since now the door was closed her back was pressed up against the far wall of cabinets and still her front was mere millimetres from Tom.

“I…I don’t mind… if-if you don’t?”

“I’m too tired to care” She giggled in response, and Tom , now with her seal of approval, immediately started ransacking the piled shelves for all their worth creating a floor carpeted in the pale red of the blankets, in an attempt to make it more cosy. Joining in, it was almost remarkable how quickly their bodies suddenly agreed to move, with the new promise of rest mere moments away. 

Once the trailer was fully drowned, Tom kicked off his costume shoes and threw his jacket off - it haphazardly landing by the doorway. Y/n copied him, leaving her stood up whilst he had the advantaged of already settling down on the floor, her standing and looking down at him.

The space between the two opposing shelving units was not close spacious enough for two people to lie down whilst keeping a respectable level of personal space. Suddenly feeling a wave of awkwardness, Y/n stayed standing, wringing her hands slightly - whilst fairly certain Tom could hear her heart running at 100 mph. 

“You er… gonna stay there or?” Tom, contrary to popular belief, wasn’t a complete idiot - he could see she was suddenly self conscious. He got it too - they’d never crossed this boundary of choosing to cuddle into each other. It had happened once of twice accidentally over there 2 years of knowing each other. Both of those times it was completely accidental, falling asleep watching a movie with a safe distance of space b between the two, only to find hours later their bodies almost completely intwined. Tom would be lying if he said that his heart didnt skip a beat when he had awoken to Y/n’s soft and gently breath fanning into his neck. He’d loved it, but understood that was unconsciously breaking down part of the wall they’d both been the constructors of.

For fear of getting hurt. 

So now, as Y/n awkwardly bent down and lay on her side, he thought it was imperative to make her feel comfortable. Naturally then, his arm slid round her shoulders and pulled her down toward his chest, releasing a little breath as he felt her relax, her legs slowly wrapping round one of his. 

“This okay?” He murmured, now into the crown of her head as she lay half on her side half on his chest. In reply she nodded into him and Tom couldn’t help but grin- unbeknownst to him but Y/n was doing the exact same thing. 

The peace lasted all of 3 seconds until she groaned again.

“What?” Tom enquired as she wriggled out his hold and stood up. Instead of replying though she just leant over and flicked the one harsh light bulb off making Tom chuckle as she fumbled her way back onto the padded floor in the darkness, earning a few grunts from both as she accidentally kicked Tom’s thighs or banged her head on one of the now empty shelves. Fumbling her way back into a comfortable position, occasionally cursing when she stubbed her toe- or Tom did when she accidentally elbowed him in the ribs. 

“Comfy?” Tom asked a little sarkily as he squeezed her a little more into his side.

“Mhmmmm… I’m gonna sleep for 100 years”

“Yeh me… me too”

And with that they both almost instantly and in complete unison sagged into each other and the blankets - the pent up stress and tension of the past few days ebbing away.

What the pair had neglected to remember was that sleeping for 100 years wasn’t really an option. The whole crew of 50 people, who wanted to restart filming after 45 minutes, had not been told about Y/n’s little hiding place. The pair were so completely safe in their own little cocoon of comfort they were completely oblivious to their teams calling there names more and more frantically. Completely oblivious to the game of hide and seek the situation had descended into, completely oblivious to Harrys natural annoyance as the director asked him for the whereabouts of the two stars - as though Harry was childminder to the pair of them.

It was Nelli who found them first. She’d and Ellie and Tom’s manager had all been recruited by Harry as part of the man hunt. Both girls, having seen first hand the state of the two this morning, were fairly certain they’d both crashed out somewhere. So Nelli, already with a sneaking suspicion, opened the door gently, her figure blocking the majority of the light from seeping through to the dimly lit inside. The sight she was met with had her actually pouting at the cuteness - and yes its a cringey word but also the only one appropriate.

Between bedding down and barely an hour later the two had managed to become impossibly tighter pressed to each other. Y/n’s face was pressed into the crook of Tom’s neck and his arms seemed to have pulled her on-top of him almost completely. Her left leg was hooked under his right, which was then sandwiched by his left too. They both looked so pure and innocent and god did Nelli know they both needed any extra time they could get.

Nelli cared a lot about Tom, she’d been working with him from the beginning, from the child star days to now. She cared about him like her very annoying surrogate son and she wanted to see him looked after. She also so completely wanted the two stars to stop pining after each other. Because frankly it was getting a little frustrating for everyone else. 

So she chose to tactically forget about her discovery, sneaking a photo on the sly before silently pulling the door closed and leaving them to their sleep.

Supergirl

Chapter 7: Bro Code

AN: Atsumu did a shitty thing, that I do not condone. Hope your ready to feel smad!

It’s been two weeks since you started ignoring and avoiding Atsumu. You didn’t even reply to his message and he has been too stubborn to apologize. It’s starting to get on Osamu’s nerves because avoiding Atsumu included avoiding Osamu. He hasn’t seen or heard from you and Atsumu has been a bitch the whole time too. The coach had to bench cause he was being down right cruel to his own teammates. Osamu can’t talk to you and he hasn’t wanted to ask Atsumu, but this had gotten ridiculous and the team agrees. Kita calls a team meeting after practice one day. Atsumu is extremely bitter and becomes even more annoyed when all heads turn to him.

“What happened with you Atsumu?”

“I don’t know what your fucking talking about!”

“You have been rather irritable as of late”

“What he means is you have been a bitch.”

“In a sense, yes”

“I am always like this”

“Like hell you are man”

“Why don’t you all just leave me hell alone!”

Osamu can’t take it anymore and lunges at he’s brother in pure fury. This already was more intense then their usual petty fights. Fights about you always were. Osamu has Atsumu pinned under him hands in his collar holding him down. Both Aran and Kita are ready to get involved but Osamu sends them a nasty glare.

“What. The. Fuck. Did you do?”

“I already told you I don’t know what you are talking about”

“Bull fucking shit. Y/N is so mad at YOU she isn’t even talking to me”

“She chose you,”

“What”

“Three months ago she chose you,”

Osamu is lost now. What was Atsumu on about. Confusion is all he feels as he watches Atsumu looks broken. Years ago Atsumu was the first twin to tell the other he loved you Osamu revealed he did too a few months later.

“Last time she was in town she came to me to talk about you,”

“I don’t understand she barely even said goodbye when she left.”

“Because I had slept with her,”

Osamu’s mind goes blank for a moment before he pulls his fist back in punches Atsumu in the nose hard enough he feels a crunch. Aran grabs his arm as he pulled again to hit his twin again. He looks feral and Atsumu looks torn and ashamed. He’s not even fighting back not making eye contact with anyone.

“You! What!!”

Atsumu doesn’t answer finding his hands much more interesting. The team is stunned into silence this wasn’t the petty bullshit they were expecting. This was deep and personal.

“Answer! Me!”

“She loved you... Loves you”

“...”

“She came to me nervous a few nights before she was leaving to ask me a question”

You were in the Miya house in your pjs when you are pacing in the hall. Your right foot goes to rub up and down you left calf a sign of pure nerves for you. Atsumu raises an eyebrow at you with an annoying teasing smirk.

“What’s up, Supergirl,”

“Umm..I...”

“What? Finally confessing your undying love to the lesser twin,”

He knew. Knew you had a crush on Osamu. You had told him a year ago, but you hadn’t acted on believing it would make your relationship with both the twins weird which Atsumu fully agreed with.

“Haha, no it’s something else...”

“Come on, you can always tell the great and generous Atsumu what’s troubling you”

“I don’t think I want to”

“Oh! She doesn’t want my advise! I am not good enough to give you my advise! Oh the betrayal. That promise when you were 8 and sobbing on front porch and I told you I always got you. That means nothing to you appare...”

“You dramatic bitch.”

*overdramatic sigh*

“Oh my god! Fine...I....to...Osamu...”

“What was that?”

“I want to give Osamu my virginity!”

“Oh”

Something in him really broke. Knowing you loved Osamu was and not acting on it was one thing, but this would definitely lead to you and his brother dating. He couldn’t handle if you two actively together. He couldn’t watch you be with another man.

“What’s that look for”

“I just think that’s a bad idea”

“Why?”

“Tell me have you really thought this through”

“Yes I want my first time to be with someone a love and trust,”

“Then let me do it!”

“What?”

He knew he was running purely on emotions and needs a cover and fast. He’s panicking this isn’t how he imagined confessing to you. He had even thought about ever confessing to you.

“We love each other and you trust me”

“You know that’s different!”

“Not really it’s going be completely yours decision everything. Think about how weird it’ll if he says no or worse he says yes and doesn’t have feelings for you. Having sex with someone you love, but doesn’t love you is a new kind of torture that I don’t want you to go through!”

“How do you know he doesn’t love me!”

“I just do!”

“How!”

“He told me!”

“I don’t believe you!”

“Atsumu I just love Y/N she’s like the perfect little sister!”

He know it was fucked up. He knew he was breaking her heart and lying to do it.

“Obviously I am not saying you need to have sex with me, but I am your safest bet,”

“I need to go home,”

“Let me walk you then”

“I don’t think that’s necessary”

“No it’s not but I need you to understand I am not trying to actively sleep with you. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”

BULLSHIT! He was a liar and a horrible friend.

“Atsumu I just found out the guy I have been in love of with for years doesn’t love me and his brother, who looks exactly like him, offers sex. I am going to be fucking hurt! I need time to think and get over Osamu. And rethink shit about my virginity,”

He knew this wasn’t gonna be good for you. You already looked destroyed and all he wanted to do was hold you, but he knew that might just confuse you. Though the really dark voice in him wanted you confused, cause maybe then you would finally pick him. He couldn’t go that far. Everything had to be your choice.

‘But is it really her choice. You lied so she wanted go to Osamu, to make you seem more attractive more desirable. You are soliciting sex from the girl you claim to live because you are jealous and maybe this is the closest you’ll ever get to her loving you. You thought if you can’t have love, lust is just as good.’ He thought to himself. Guilt riddled him before you were even out the door.

“Y/N forget I said anything. You should love and trust the man you give your first to.”

You walk out and don’t back in until a few days later. Osamu isn’t home again. You knew that and Atsumu knew you knew it. He’s hesitant to even approach you, but it is clear he is who you came to see.

“I need to know this won’t change anything between us,”

“What won’t?”

“That if I give you my virginity. Your still my friend Atsumu. I can’t live my life with out you. You were right I didn’t think it through. Even if Osamu did love me it doesn’t mean we wouldn’t eventually fall out of love and then he would just be out of my life right. I need you by my side even if he isn’t.”

It almost sounded like a love confession to Atsumu, but he knows better. You are so desperate to keep Osamu in your life you have torn yourself a part to hide that you loved him. You just assumed Atsumu was always going to be there, you just need him to say it. It not like Osamu where you won’t even risk it. Atsumu, he knew you could live without him you just don’t want to.

“No matter we are gonna be weird with each other we both have to have faith in each other, but Y/N I was talking out my ass. It annoyed me that you were gonna have sex with Osamu over me. Yeah it doesn’t make sense but you know how competitive we are. You don’t got to do this. We pretend this never happen and have a sundae night.”

“I am sure Atsumu.”

That’s what he told his teammates and that’s how it went down. Osamu is livid. Aran is holding him tightly as Kita had put tape over his mouth so Atsumu could tell his story without interruptions. Everyone taking it all in.

“Wait then why is she mad now?”

Atsumu pulls out his phone and shows them the texts he sent.

“You are an idiot”

As soon as Osamu signals he is calm enough Aran slowly and with hesitation let’s him go. As he turns to his twin face hardened and swallows tightly.

“She can never know you lied”

“...what”

“It would ruin her, Atsumu. You are her confidant and you took advantage of her. She can’t know. We pretend it never happened, we follow our bro code and neither of us go for her ever. We be the best big brothers we can. Nothing changes between us.”

“...I”

“Shut up! You did a terrible thing and should be treating her like a goddess until one of you dies. You barely deserve to be in the same room as her. You are lucky I don’t break your hands.”

“I know”

Masterlist

AN: I don’t think I capture the amount of heartbreak Atsumu actually was suppose to be in but boy is suppose to seem fucking broken. Doesn’t excuse his action but he insecure scared baby that just wants love.

AN: Sorry this chapter took a little longer. If I don’t have you in my tag list just message me! I am so so nervous about how you all are going to react to this chapter and the next ones. Also there are more then 10 chapters this is just volume 1 🙃.

[axemetaphor]

im definitely not ripping off my friend by making a list of au ideas i have no siree //gonna slap this under a readmore cause i. well i say a lot. all of the time. i tried so hard to format this Good but tumblr fucked me up i am so sorry

so first-off i know i already have one WIP AU (Auckland) on ao3 so i wont talk about That one cause like. spoilers. i actualyl have it like 80% created so its likely gonna truly get finished for once and i dont wanna ruin shit

the other one ive posted about is something me and ben (catgirlrepublic) have worked on together its not at all close to done or anything but it's. a fun little crossover. Between jdate and my fuckinuhm. Original characters story “Untitled Villains Project”. the sketches of the comic version ive started is actually my pinned post 👉👈 its like the first chunk of the story, i think half of part 1? yea.

Tldr john fucking Somehow is able t oget into contact with a certain curious scientist from another reality who’d just love to study the Soy Sauce, most certainly not for her own nefarious purposes

John and Dave meet up with the scientist, her name is Boss, and her lab assistant, Toxic, and after a bit of a preliminary Vibe Check where john determines her trustworthy (which Dave doesnt agree with,) the two agree to be taken to the world UVP is set in. from there they stay in Boss’s lab (big old fucking abandoned military lab). John and Toxic are fast friends due to mutual love-of-chaos. John n Dave get to fuckin, camp out on an air mattress.

The day after they arrive, the two get split up, not exactly intentionally; big plot points of UVP are liek. Fueled by Boss sending Toxic to go fetch her “research materials,” which are usually important artifacts

Fuckin side note i guess i have to explain my dumb bullshit: Boss’s, uh, field of expertise so to speak is actually fckin, basically the scientific study of magic and superpowers n shit like that. This shit’s all real in that world. Toxic’s got fuckin superpowers, so do 4 other main characters, whatever. It’s got a bit to do with spirituality, iss Boss’s hypothesis. So she has Toxic fetch important artifacts that might have “energies” to them. The thing is actually way more fuckin complictated than that, this is just Boss’s initial hypothesis.

Motherfucking anyways. So Boss gives Toxic a job to do, and John get excited about how Cool that sounds, and ends up going with Toxic, leaving Boss and Dave alone. Neither is thrilled about this. But Dave and Boss get to have a bit of conversation (while Toxic and John are off bonding and having a good time) and come to a… mutual grudging understanding of some kind. They still dont like each other though lmao

Theres gonna be deeper shit going on but we havent sorted it out yet/tbh havent like Written For It in a while but i still like thinking about it a lot lol

Also pretty sure our endgame is john and dave steal toxic and bring them back with em lmao boss is kind of not nice and toxic would most certainly be better off in Undisclosed. Actually theyd fucking love it. Theyd become a local cryptid im sure. Undisclosed’s mothman is a teleporting spike baby.

I have. Another crossover AU that i might. Post something about for halloween? Maybe? If i have it finished?

Crosses over into, you guessed it, another one of my original-character projects. God, am i vain or something?

I promise this is just because i think blue and dave should get to team up to beat up some monsters

Quick briefing on my fuckinuh. Original character story, this one doesnt have a name (yet? Idk lol my work never actually goes anywhere sso who gives a shit). It centers around two grim reapers, Red (26, bi woman) and Blue (22, aroace agender asshole). In this reality or whatever, grim reapers function kind of like low-level office workers. They get told who’s going to die + when by some middle-management types, and upper management only involve themselves when punishment needs to be doled out. These Higher-Ups can be seen as analogous to Korrok; they’re decidedly not human, never were, and fucking terrifyingly powerful. Additionally, grim reapers are sort of .. designed to be “background noise” people. In reality theyre supernatural beings and, uh, look Real Fuckin Weird (the whole deal has a neon aesthetic im terrible at drawing uwu) but most humans just perceive them like extras in a movie. A body’s there but the camera’s not focused on it.

To the narrative: the shit starts when Red n Blue get relocated to Undisclosed. Relocation is something that just happens every now and then to reapers; they usually work in teams, but they get split up into different cities to avoid any strong bonds forming (a counter-union strategy from the Higher-Ups).

Red, Blue, John and Dave end up running into each other for the first time in a McDonalds where John n Dave are getting some 4am “hey, we just survived another horrific monster fight” celebration burgers. John and Dave are the only two people who can see how… strange Red and Blue are. Nobody else notices.

John unintentionally pisses Blue off, leading to Blue whacking him upside the head with a dildo bat. They all four get kicked out of McDonald’s. Dave and Red both are less than thrilled

Blue and John end up resolving their differences, somehow. Red and Dave briefly bond over their dumbass best friends being, well, dumbasses. They all part ways amicably.

somehow-or-other (idk yet) they end up running into each other a few more times, and eventually john invites them over to his place, and the four (plus Amy now!) get to know each other a little better

while there, Blue gets a text about some guy who's gonna die and John offers to drive them to where that's gonna go down. they take him up on the offer and get to have a bit of one-on-one conversation

after that ordeal though Blue has had Enough of people and bails, leaving John to head home alone

theres a sort of mirror-development going on with the five of em. Red, John, and Amy would all like everyone to get along, though theyre a bit tentative about it (John moreso than the other two, actually, jsut cause. well Red n Blue could still be Sauce Monsters). Dave and Blue on the other hand do Not like people enough for this shit, and Dave's not unconvinced theyre Sauce Monsters. he will not trust them until proven he should

the story's kinda nebulous but i got an idea for some Shit going down that involves both Sauce Monsters and also the Higher-Ups to have some fuckin absolute chaos go down.

Oops! All Trans

Everybody is transgender. Everyone

Ive actually workshopped this one both with ben (catgirlrepublic) and ghost (ghost-wannabe) lmao its a fun lil concept ive had from the get-go cause i mean. What’s an internet tran gonna do other than hit all their favourite media with the Everyone’s Trans beam

Dave transitioned post-high school and faked his death for it. People go missing in Undisclosed all the damned time, after all. He moved to the next city over, transitioned fully, then came back as a completely new man. Yes i know this doesnt exactly fit with the “everyone knows David from high school” thing alright, hush.

Anytime anyone brings up John’s old best friend (pre-transition Dave) John throws an entire fit like an overdramatic grieving widow. Full-on sobbing “why would you bring her up?! I miss her so much—” to the point that people just stop bringing up because Jesus Christ That Sure Is Uncomfortable KJHGFDS.

This is a scheme he and Dave came up with prior to Dave leaving, though Dave hadnt exactly anticipated John putting on this much of a performance about it— but it’s stopped Dave from ever having tto hear his deadname again, so hey.

Amy transitioned sometime in middle school/early high school. Her family was super supportive and loved her a ton and most people just know her as Amy. she was super shy her whole life really so. Yeah. people just dont think to bring it up lmao also i Feel Like big jim would absolutely wallop anyone who gave her trouble of any kind

John’s nonbinary (genderfluid specifically) and not exactly Interested in transitioning ? like hes fine with how he is. mostly.

he came out to Dave in high school but hes not out to anyone else exactly. Maybe his bandmates. Probably any other trans person in Undisclosed knows, too, cause theyre safe to tell lmao. Johns mostly a “he/him out of convenience” kinda nb who’s cool with any pronouns but does prefer they/them most. Dave and Amy use they/them when the trio are alone

Also this is a totally self-indulgent caveat that i think would be great, Dave’s actually agender but because he's transmasc and transitioned when he thought there were really only two options, and being Boy at least felt less weird than being Girl, he just kind of assumed he was a dude. It’s only through a lot of (like fucking years and years hes probably in his 30s/40s when he puts 2 and 2 together on this one) talks about gender with John that he realizes he actually feels like No Gender. Masc aesthetic with none gender.

I Just Think It’d Be Neat Is All Okay

Also Amy came out to Dave about being trans early on in them seeing each other and his response was to get very nervous before blurting out “me too” and then just being too embarrassed to talk about it for the rest of the day. Hes got a lot of hangups on talking about it actually it takes years for him to get comfortable in that

by contrast when Amy comes out to John about it his response is to yell “EYYY ME TOO” and give her a big ol hug lmao

I think itd be neatt if Amy ran a like. Transfem help/advice blog on tumblr. Kind of helped-with by John who can give her transfem nb insight for certain asks. I also just think that would be neat.

Cowboy AU - i put this one last cause its got drawings to it actually. Theyll be at the bottom

Basically just. Hey you ever watched a western. I think they look neat

This is another one me n ben have come up with lol

The soy sauce and all that shit still exist, im not sure where korrok fits in yet but ill figure it out

Theres no real like solid narrative yet ? but heres the barebones of everybody’s arcs.

John

Johns an absolute troublemaker, Of Course. Hes wanted in several towns for absolutely stupid shit. Hes a loner who shows up, causes chaos, gets drunk, does some drugs, runs away if people get too mad at him

He definitely had the same kind of deal with the soy sauce as in canon— he was at some kind of party, somebody offered it, he took it cause why the fuck wouldnt he, now he can see monsters and shit

Hes kind of a mooch also. Like. dont let him stay in your barn man he’ll never fucking leave and drink all your booze.

He runs into Dave when they happen to just, cross paths in the same town. the bullshit John stirs up ends up involving Dave in a way that makes it seem like it's his fault too, and they both get run out of town

after that he just tags along after Dave. hes decided this guy's Cool he wants to stick around. Dave is pissed at first, but not enough to shoot him or anything, and eventually, John grows on him

Dave

Dave also is a loner but unlike John hes simply so fucking awkward and bad with people. He doesnt feel like he belongs anywhere so he just travels

He’s the stereotypical Lone Ranger tbh. He wanders from town to town, solving their problems, though hed deny its out of any moral obligation (it kinda is, a little bit, tbh. He does like feeling useful). He shows up, fixes things, leaves. He's kind of a legend but most people think he's hiding something dark. other people jsut know him as that guy who farted real loud in the middle of the saloon and promptly skipped town out of sheer embarrassment. you know how it goes with Dave

He ends up involved with the Soy Sauce when a snake (not Actually a snake,) bites him. The snake’s more like the wig-monsters, really. Anyway, it injects him with the soy sauce, he fucking trips balls in the middle of the desert, he can see monsters now

He runs into John and shit goes tits-up, as said, but they become traveling buddies after that. he'd never say so, but he's glad for the company, actually. it's nice. hes not used to companionship but he feels a strange kind of easiness hanging out with John....

not sure how the Monster Dave concept will like fit in to this reality but like. trust me i want it in here. I'll Figure It Out.

Amy

Amy’s been living in a town John and Dave end up passing through and she is very curious about these two new Handsome Strangers who claim to fight monsters and just kinda. Persistently tags along til they let her join for real

Her family’s all dead, unfortunately, just like in canon, and she’s been living alone for a few years before meeting John n Dave. she had nothing left in that town to stay for, she'd been fantasizing about escaping on wild adventures for a long time and this felt a little like a dream come true. (Dave still gives her a spiel about how Difficult it is, but really, her fantasies were pretty grounded-in-reality already. i jsut think thats how she is, yknow?)

Shes the first person to react to the whole “we see monsters” shit with a kind of “oh, okay. neat” kind of response lmao

John and Dave fix whatever the fuck is up with her town (maybe that’s where the Korrok shit can fit, who knows) and Amy ends up being integral to that. After, she insists they take her with them because “they need her now” and Dave just cant really say no. John too is very much "the more the merrier!" and hes actually glad to have another person along he loves people lmao

At the start she has long hair but after she joins them she chops it short with a knife for convenience

also she still is an amputee. justt. idk. it was a wagon/stagecoach accident rather than a car accident lmao. just to clarify since i hadnt mentioned it, i wouldnt rob her of her ghost hand or yknow. all of the significance to her character that Missing A Hand has. although also now im going to have to research what was used as painkillers way-back-when, but im betting shes still got, like, her pain pills, they probably had those, maybe i wouldnt have to try too hard there. old timey medicine could be WACK though,

Shitload

Yeah hes in tthis shit mostly cause i liked designing his cowboy self lmao

Hes a kid (like 16, 17, technically i think in those days that was more Young Man than Kid but whatever. Hes Young i mean.) who got possessed by the Worms out in the desert and, by his family’s perception, just went missing!

Hes also a wanderer, but he ended up at the same town john and dave met in, at that same time, and starts following them after, already aware of who/what they are.

He keeps his face covered 24/7. actually he covers a Majority of his self for reasons. kinda want him to be a slightly more horrifying Worm Entity rather than human idk,

I kinda dont have much for this boy yet sorry Shitload

images !

with some editing notes for me cause im doing a very specific aesthetic with this lmao. i might change some lil details/colours though ...... idk

im also kinda 🤔 about shitload's colour palette. i want things assoicated w the sauce to be black'n'red predominantly but i think his palette might mirror dave's too closely. also im working on a korrok design i jsut am too busy to draw it now

#jdate #john dies at the end #aus #erh. tthe hell do i tag this as #rambles.txt #long post #well let me know if youd wanna hear more or. or something #send an ask. or whatever #yaknow #:jazz hands:

“Eat my dust, Jack!”

“Not if I pass you first!!”

“No, you won’t!!!”

“Says who?!”

               Two cars raced around the base, one just barely passing the other.

               Miko and Jack had gone head-to-head, racing one last tournament before they had to go home—after the tie last round, they just had to know who, really, was the victor of the day. The two of them shouted competitively as they jammed the controls in one direction or another. Excited, Raf looked on. He, too, was curious of the outcome.

               At present, only Ratchet had remained at base.

               The others had gone out to investigate an abandoned energon mine somewhere in Maine. Optimus had visited the location once before but was not able to reach the source of the readings he’d gotten.

               Therefore, since there had been no Decepticon activity in the past week or so, he took his team to search the caverns.

               They were due to return in about 10 minutes, according to Ratchet. When they did, each guardian was then going to take their human companion home.

               It was a normal day at the Autobot base.

              “NO WAY—”

              “TAKE THAT!!!!”

              Jack threw his fist in the air triumphantly while Miko crumpled to the floor in defeat. Raf burst into laughter as she actually went and laid flat on her back.

             “The horror! I’ve let Jack win!!” She overdramatically wailed. Then, after a moment, sat up and giggled along with Raf and Jack. As the two went to retrieve their cars, Raf scampered up to Ratchet.

             “Hey, Ratchet. What are you doing?”

             The medic sighed, continuing to tinker with what looked like some kind of tool. “Fixing one of Bulkhead’s….accidents,” He muttered. With a sigh, he remembered the large mech smashing it while trying to reenact a fight he had, showing off to Miko. Naturally, the girl had been amazed, but it was short-lived as Ratchet, too, had witnessed that retelling.

              Raf fixed his glasses. “I’m sure it was just an accident, Ratchet.”

              With an eyeroll, Ratchet responded, “It was, but that doesn’t make it any less of an inconvenience, Rafael. It was quite immature of him, too.” He held it up to the light to observe a small detail of the frame.

              “Oh…I see.”

              “Thank the Allspark it’s not one of my more important tools,” he murmured, mostly to himself. Ratchet put it down for a moment to check on the progress of the rest of the team’s expedition.

              He pushed the comm button. “Optimus, come in. Have you found anything? Is everyone okay?”

             “Negative, Ratchet. There is nothing left in these caves,” he reported, a faint note of disappointment in his tone. “Though, everyone is fine. We require a bridge.”

              “Understood.”

              Ratchet tapped a few more buttons to lock onto their coordinates and pulled the lever, activating the groundbridge.  Miko and Jack broke off their conversation and joined Raf to stand by Ratchet, waiting for their guardians’ returns.

               Sure enough, after a moment, the team came through the portal with a swishing noise, Optimus the last one through. While the three kids gravitated to their partners, Optimus merely stood at the bridge. He remained for a moment, passing his gaze over his team.

              Then, without a word, he turned and headed down the halls—to his room.

              “Did you really think….” Arcee trailed off her snide remark at Jack as she heard Optimus’s heavy footsteps go past everyone and down the hall. She and Jack exchanged looks as everyone else, also, noticed this.

               After a short spell of silence, Miko finally spoke up.

               “Is he mad or something? Cuz I mean, geez—he didn’t even say hello.” She folded her arms.

               “No, Miko,” Ratchet responded, sounding a little exasperated. “What could he be angry over, if he were?” More silence followed his words. It was not often Optimus actually showed what he was feeling like this.

               Everyone was therefore concerned.

               “Do you think…he might be, like, really disappointed about not finding anything in the caves, then?” Jack asked, drifting from Arcee to the groundbridge area. “I mean, from what he’s been saying, you guys really needed that energon…”

               “He could just be tired, too,” Raf chimed in. The bots thought for a moment.

               Bumblebee shifted from one foot to the other, clearly uncomfortable. ‘I just hope he’s okay…’

               Ratchet set his tools aside and headed for the hall. “I’ll go talk to him,” he said. The humans and bots exchanged glances, then nodded.

///

               “So!” Ratchet huffed frustratedly, emerging from the halls. “He won’t open the door, and will not talk to me, either!” He threw his hands in the air with a noise of exasperation, trudging back to his station.

               Rafael nudged Miko, who had her headphones in. Jack stood up and began down the stairs.

               “I guess something is wrong,” Arcee murmured, folding her arms. She caught sight of Jack, regarding her companion with an inquisitive gaze.

               “Jack?”

               “I’ll talk to him.” He heard his own determined voice, then touched the back of his head with an awkward laugh. “I’ll—I’ll try, I mean…”

               “Good luck,” Ratchet muttered bitterly, not taking his eyes off his current repair project. “If he even has the courtesy to acknowledge you at all.”  Jack flashed a thumbs up.

He uneasily began to wonder what could have put Optimus so out of sorts that he wouldn’t even speak to Ratchet. It was also rare for Optimus to do this kind of thing, apparently.

Something told Jack it wasn’t just about the energon…but he still wanted to find out for himself.

               “Later, Jack!” Raf called, scampering down the steps. Miko followed, slinging her backpack onto her shoulders. She waved.

               “Yeah, we’re gonna go home now, but you better text us later, kay?” Bulkhead and Bumblebee then transformed, and the two kids hopped in. Ratchet, remembering he had to bridge them out, audibly sighed, slumping over.

               “For the love of Primus, am I able to get any work done around here without constantly being interrupted?!”

               That’s my cue to leave, Jack thought. He quickly hurried down the halls, not wanting to be the next victim of Ratchet’s frustration. He knew the medic only meant well, and that his work was important to him.

               Still, he internally wished Ratchet had more patience. Even if he didn’t scare Jack, it was still unpleasant to be around the old bot when he was not in a good mood.

               Speaking of which….

               Jack came upon Optimus’s berth room, which was closed. He sucked in a breath, raising his arm to knock. Hesitation pulled his arm back after a second.

               What if he is just resting? I’d be pretty ticked if someone interrupted my long nap…

               A memory of Miko pushing him off the couch as a prank resurfaced. He remembered feeling frustrated more than anything else. Of course, she’d apologized, but that wasn’t really going to give him back those precious minutes of sleep.

               He rolled his eyes. “What can you expect when you’re friends with Miko Nakadai, right?” He murmured, raising his arm again. But for the sake of satisfying my own curiosities, at least—

               “Hey, Optimus?” Jack called, knocking lightly. When he received no response for a few minutes, he sighed and knocked again—this time, a bit louder. “Optimus!! Are you okay in there?”

               There was a rustling noise from behind the door, but still no response. Jack decided to stop knocking. He put his back against the metal and slid to the floor. Maybe simply talking it out would help.

               “You know, everyone’s kinda worried about you…” He sighed again, laughing a little. “Oh, and Ratchet’s kinda mad you didn’t even acknowledge him. So…you’re probably gonna have to apologize for that later…”

               The boy bowed his head a little. It was possible Optimus wanted to be left alone right now. Coming to bother him might have been a mistake. Jack began to think up other ways he and the others could figure out—

               “Jack.”

               Optimus spoke at last, his voice sounding calm—completely level, actually. Instantly, the teen sprang to his feet and answered.

               “Optimus! Ok, good. You’re alive, then,” he joked. When the Prime didn’t respond to his jest—naturally—Jack shook his head and chuckled quietly. “It’s ok, I was joking. Anyway—do you….wanna talk? Is everything ok? You seemed kind of sad when you came through the bridge…and you didn’t even tell us how it went…”

               Didn’t tell us anything, actually, but I’ll leave that part out. I’m sure Optimus doesn’t want to be guilted for stuff at the moment.

               There was another noise—it sounded a little more desperate before it abruptly came to a stop. Then, the Autobot leader’s hefty footsteps began to approach the door. Jack backed away, glad that his efforts seemed to have paid off. The large metal sheet slid upwards, revealing Optimus’ huge figure.

               His face was completely expressionless, but he mustered a somewhat warm look when he gazed at Jack.

               Well, at least Optimus said something and…opened his door, Jack consoled himself mentally. Even though I still don’t know what’s bothering him. Guess we’ll just have to wait for him to tell us…

               “I will go apologize to Ratchet. It was not my intention to offend him…” He started out the door and down the hall. Then, he paused to face Jack for a moment as he added, “And my apologies also to you, I did not mean to worry anyone. Thank you for coming to get me.”

               “Oh—no, don’t worry about that, Optimus. It’s fine.”

               The Prime nodded briefly, saying nothing more. Jack watched him go. Now, he was even more confused than before.

               So why were you acting weird when you got back to base?

               By coincidence, his gaze happened to wander to Optimus’ open berth room. Jack had the sudden realization that he’d never seen Optimus’s berthroom before. Actually, he hadn’t seen any of the bots’ rooms since he’d known about their base.

               He left the door open, it wouldn’t hurt to go take a look…I think?

               Quietly, he padded inside. Taking a moment to look around, Jack noted that it was quite a huge space—way bigger than he’d expected from the size of the door.

It was also very….bare.

               No posters, furnishings, or anything other than the walls, his berth, and a small shelf. On that shelf, there was nothing except for some mystery object shoved in the corner, covered by an old blue cloth.

               “Exactly what you’d expect from a guy like Optimus,” Jack remarked to himself. He sighed and began to walk away, when suddenly a noise snapped his attention back around.

               Back to the shelf.

               Back to the blue cloth.

               A noise that had come from….

               “What is that thing?” Jack murmured to himself as he drew close to it again.

               He jumped back as it vibrated and briefly glowed a bright blue. It seemed to come back to life as a steady humming filled the air of the room. The teen came to a halt right in front of the shelf, placing his hands on his hips as he stared at it, curious and confused.

               Was he trying to hide this? Jack wanted even more to know what it did—what it was.

               And while he stared at it, the object beneath the cloth made another noise.

               “Roadwork ahead?? Uh, YEAH, I sure hope it does!”

               For a moment, Jack stood immobile. Then, he burst into laughter.  

               Optimus was watching vines….he was watching vines….Optimus Prime was watching vines.

               He suddenly remembered what had happened to his mom when she watched vine for the first time. For at least two long, painful weeks, the only things she said were vine quotes—in a failed attempt to be funny. 

               Optimus was watching….vines….oh no.

               Jack turned on his heel and sprinted down the halls.

....

I’ll edit and fix stuff later; I’m in class rn lolol :’D

The Night We Met

[a/n: oo this is a bit longer than usual so the author’s note is at the beginning. This lil collection of blurbs is inspired by The Night We Met by Lord Huron. If you look at the red words you can see that lol. Just an fyi the bold italic words are kinda a narration to the blurbs. Idk i had this idea while manic one morning and i refuse to change it. Anyways I literally wrote this at 12:53 am so enjoy and please forgive any errors.]

Falling in love while young can be a beautiful thing. So full of passion and romance and excitement.

It can start of so sweet;

“I had all of you come here today because we have an announcement” Lia said. Everyone at the dinner table was on the edge of their seat. A few of the people you knew but most of the faces at the table were completely unfamiliar. When you’d arrived, you quickly surveyed the room looking for someone you know to hide behind while Lia was busy.

After finding another friend of yours to chat with, you spy a tall dark haired man out of the corner of your eye. His crisp suit and regal posture sent chills down your spine. You did your best to look his way in hopes of getting no attention, but every attempt fell short. By the time you’d sat down, you’d completely forgotten about the savvy man. Instead, you focused on the news that your best friend and her boyfriend were eagerly waiting to unveil.

“We’re pregnant” Chen exclaims. “Well, she’s pregnant. I’m gonna be a dad!”

The table erupted with cheers. Of course you had already known. You were the one with your best friend in the bathroom as she cried over the two tiny red lines. But it was still nice to hear it out loud. The couple was young, foolhardy, and unwed but you knew their bond was stronger than anyone else's. You admired their compatibility and often envied their happiness. Nonetheless, you were happy for them. So you put a smile on your face and clapped and cheered like the rest of the lot

After the cheering and dinner were coming to an end, many of the guests found themselves congregating in small groups with friends old and new. In the midst of the mass chaos, you had found yourself standing alone in the corner of the room. Normally, you’d flock to your best friend, but she was caught up im the duties of a hostess. You watched her prance around the room eagerly accepting private congratulations.

“Is this seat taken?” You turn around to see a handsome looking man with a vaguely familiar mess of dark locks. At first, you were shocked that he would even look your way, but you shook off the brief moment of self-consciousness and tried to reply with a quip

“Well, I mean, there’s no chairs. So…” The confusion you felt had now transformed into amusement. His lines were cute, but you knew he could do better.

“Yeah you’re right that was stupid. Let me start over. I’m Chanyeol” Chanyeol stuck his hand out towards you, a lopsided smile planted on his face.

“I’m y/n” You said, taking his hand reluctantly. It wasas if electricity sparked from your hands as they touched His hands were large but seem to fit with yours perfectly. His lips were twisted in a wholesome smile. Gazing into his eyes was like looking into a warm cup of coffee and you swore you could get lost in them forever. At that moment it was as if stars had collided. You didn’t believe in soulmates before, but that was about to change...

And as you approach your lovers high you’ll seem unstoppable. It will be as if you could fight off the entire world with the power of your love alone;

“I can’t believe i planned a whole picnic and now it’s ruined” You frowned. You could see from the tree you were hidden under that your blue gingham blanket was now soaked and the food that you stayed up all night making was unsalvageable. “And then most upsetting of all, you don’t seem to care”.

Chanyeol only chuckled. “It’s only a little rain.” His response only deepened your frown.

When Chanyeol noticed your expression he tsked, “I think you need to learn to go with the flow.” Knowing you would give a cynical reply, Chanyeol chose not to wait for you to respond. Instead, he grabbed your hand and pulled you into the rain. You squealed at the feeling of the cold droplets colliding with your skin. He pulls your body flush against his and places his hand on the small of your back.

“Care to dance?” He asks, a playful smirk appearing on his face.

“To what music?” The lack of music didn’t actually bother you, but you were always eager to tease. You were ready with quips about how cliché the moment was when Chanyeol dipped his head down so that his lips were inches from your ear and began to sing. You didn’t know what the song was and frankly you didn’t care. You’re feet synchronized with the rhythm of his song and you began to dance. Suddenly nothing else mattered. It was as if you were the only people in the world. You closed your eyes and took in the moment.

It’s memories like these that you wouldn’t trade for the world. Even now….

But then it seems to turn around;

The tension had almost become unbearable. And it wasn't good, sexy, fun tension that Chanyeol and you used to have. No. This was different. It was heavy with guilt and anger and accusations. Being the mature adult he was Chanyeol decided to feign ignorance in hopes of avoiding the inevitable. Your subtle slamming of the door and passive aggressive glances, he could look past. But the silent treatment? That he couldn’t ignore. “Alright, what’s going on?” Chanyeol asks. He watched as you leaned against the wall and fiddled with your fingers, doing everything to avoid his eye

“Nothing” You responded curtly. Chanyeol knew you were lying. He knew everything about you. After a year and a half of dating, Chanyeol could point out every freckle, birthmark, and scar with his eyes closed. Though he loved to study your curves and curls, Chanyeol also studied your little mannerisms. At this point, Chanyeol suspected he could register as a y/n-expert. While he believed he was perfectly attuned to your every thought, as he stood there in the living room of your shared apartment he could have been more confused by you.

“Why did you even invite me to dinner if you were going to flirt with all the other girls there. And why were there even other girls there? What’s the point of going on a date with me if you’re barely going to speak two words to me” The words spew endlessly out of your mouth.

“Wait, are you getting mad at me for taking you out to dinner? Because that’s bullshit”

“You didn’t take me out to dinner you invited me to join you for dinner. There’s a difference”

“And why are you nagging me about talking to other girls? It’s my job.”

“Oh so now it’s your job to flirt with everyone?”

“Yes. I mean no. It’s my job to be sociable”

“Oh sure. Just like last week it was your job to go out for drinks with those girls”

“Exactly! See the wouldn’t be a problem to any sane person”

“Sane? So, what? I'm insane now?”

“Well right now you’re insanely overdramatic”

”And you’re selfish, egotistical, and have no regard for my feelings”

“Oh my god you are so much work” Chanyeol was on fire now. You always managed to do that: bring out the worst in him. And once it was out it wasn’t going to stop. “Sometimes...”

“Say it.” You seethe. You know you shouldn’t push him. You know what’s on the inside of that soft, caring exterior. But part of you is just as egged on as he is and you wouldn’t stop until you’d won.

“Sometimes I want to just leave. Take my shit and go. Sometimes I wish we’d never met.” Chanyeol knew he shouldn’t have said that. He knew as it rolled off his lips and he knew as he stormed out of the apartment. He knew it probably hurt your feelings. Not because it was mean, but because it was true. And he knew you could tell it was true. And the worst part of it all was that he didn’t regret saying it one bit.

While Chanyeol was out at who knows where doing who knows what, you had found yourself staring at your bedroom door, waiting. Usually your fights would end in glorious make-up sex, or passionate i-love-you-please-forgive-me-kisses. So you waited. You watched the door, waiting for him to come barging in, ready to take back the things he said. When your eyes got tired of waiting you let your ears take over. You jumped at every little sound only to feel slight disappointment when it didn’t end up being the sound of a turning door. You waited, and waited, and waited. Until eventually your tired body didn’t feel like waiting anymore. And for once, neither did you.

And as you come down from your high you’ll realize why love is such a dangerous drug. Because now that you’ve had a taste you need more, and that same old love just doesn’t do it for you anymore...;

In the beginning of the relationship when you two would fight, you could feel your blood boiling. You felt so many emotions. And now, as you aimlessly twirled the engagement ring on your finger, you felt none. Part of you was scared of what that meant. The other part of you knew. The well had run dry. You were out of patience. Out of cares to give. Out of love.

The Chanyeol you once loved was seemingly dead and gone and he was now replaced by a mature shell of his former self. Occasionally you could see the fun-loving, playful man you fell in love with. You could see it in his smile. You could hear it in his laugh. You could feel it in his soft touches. You could taste it in his lingering kisses. But once the smile faded, and the laugh subsided, and the touches stopped, and the kisses ended, the man you knew was gone like a ghost in the wind.

“I don’t think we should do this anymore.” You had finally found the courage to say what you had both been thinking. After months of “it will get better” and days of “maybe he’s tired” you finally decided it was time for your relationship’s timely end.

Though Chanyeol said nothing his silence spoke for him. He agreed. The room was quiet. And the only thing that could be heard, was your record playing in the background,, “Take me back to the night we met…”

Falling in love while young can be a beautiful thing. For you it was a beautiful thing: full of stolen glances and dances in the rain. But it was also full of missed calls, and slammed doors. See that’s the thing with young love. You fall in love with someone before they even know who they are. Before you know who you are. The two of you fell in love before you had the chance to find out what love was. When all is said and done you wouldn’t dream of taking back those moments. So while you may never again have the the feeling of Chanyeol’s hand in yours, or the sound of his laugh echoing through your apartment, or the taste of his kiss on your lips, you’ll always have the night you met.

chapter four - wake up call

robin woke up to the sound of her alarm going off, indicating that it was unfortunately the morning and time to go to the hell hole known as hawkins high. she stayed laying in bed for a few moments before sitting up and rubbing her eyes. she got up and walked to the bathroom, eyes practically still shut. turning the water on for the shower, she began to brush her teeth as she let the water warm up.

after a fifteen minute shower, she retrieved the day’s outfit and displayed it on her bed. she put on her jeans and bra and was getting ready to put on a black bon jovi tee shirt until she heard something from her window. she turned to see small masses hitting her window.

she approached the window to investigate and saw her, dressed in jeans, a hawkins pullover sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, a pair of minimal round glasses and her hair in a messy updo. and of course she was wearing that smile that made almost everyone melt. robin opened her window that faced the front yard and was met with her new favorite pair of eyes.

“morning sunshine”, sofia was bright, even in the early hours of the day.

“can i ask why your performing a massacre on my window at this early of an hour”

“you forgot your bike in my car, figured you’d need it back”

robin couldn’t believe she had forgotten her bike. it was out of her character to forget something so important.

“actually, do you want a ride to school?” sofia seemed different when she said this and robin took notice, she seemed nervous.

robin smiled at her, “give me like five minutes”

the two held eye contact until robin closed the window and hurriedly got dressed.

after four minutes of finishing up the rest of her daily routine as quickly as possible, robin headed downstairs to meet her mom with an apple ready for robin. she took it and gave her mother a kiss goodbye as she sped to leave the house.

sofia was lost in thought as she read from a plain black and white composition book until her thoughts were disturbed when robin’s presence took over her attention. sofia closed the book and smiled at robin, “ready?”

“ready? yes. willing? no”

sofia laughed as she started the car engine and then reached into the backseat, “did you eat?”

she presented a bag that contained a bagel and a cup of mixed fruit, “i dont eat much in the mornings, makes me feel sick.” she took the bagel out and tore it in half, offering the half to robin who took it without hesitation.

“im the same way, my mom always just gives me a piece of fruit while she makes my dad a whole buffet before they go to work together”

the two talked amongst themselves about films robin had recently seen and the ones sofia was planning to see when they were released movie junkies in love and promising each other to go together to certain movies. they also talked about the kids and how they were doing, ie how max and lucas are the most chaotic of couples and mike still calls el every single day to talk for hours on end

sofia reached into the back seat once again, this time presenting the notebook she had been reading when robin first entered the car, “will wrote to me once a week. he wrote down what was going on so i wouldn’t miss a thing” she smiled fondly as she remembered the young boy who was like her younger brother. “mike said will sent it to him whenever he found out i was back. he gave me the byers’ number too but i don’t know if i could make it through a phone call without crying honestly”

“did he mean a lot to you”

“he was my heart. everything i did was for him. i wanted to set a good example for him. he felt like such an outsider, even with the other boys and i just-“

she took a moment to breathe and collect herself before her emotions could take over, “i saw so much of myself in him”

robin looked down and reached for sofia’s hand, the two then looking up at the same exact time to meet each other’s eyes

“it wasn’t until i got to know him that i understood what my mom used to say to me, ‘ti darei il sole se potessi id give you the sun if i could’”

sofia began to translate, “it means-“

robin cut her off, “id give you the sun if i could”

this was sofia’s moment where her heart went fucking insane and she was ready to kiss robin at the drop of a hat.

“i never understood it until then. you could give someone all of the stars in the galaxies but none of them will shine as bright as the sun. none of them will provide you with as much warmth and support and light as the sun. will was my light”

“maybe you can take a road trip, go see him?”

“will you come with me?”

robin smiled, her heart fluttering faster than ever, “of course, anything to get out of here. i can ask for next weekend off?”

sofia nodded as she began to back out of the driveway of robin’s house

as she drove the short drive to hawkins high she began to ask robin about steve, “he’s different ya know”

robin was confused at first, “who?”

“steve, he’s less...douchey”

robin chuckled, “he’s still a dingus but he’s definitely matured in his own way”

sofia could not believe the words being used to describe steve, HER steve, “growing up he always got so many girls’ attention and it took him so long to actually get some game but somehow i think he’s lost it since graduating”

robin smiled, “are you aware of my important data i keep at the store?”

“important data?”

“swing by later, i’ll show you”

sofia parked in her old spot as robin began to gather her things and then turned to the girl in the driver’s seat who was now leaned back and looking at her with a smile on her face

“what? do i have cream on my lip again?”

a small chuckle escaped from her lips, “no, just thinking, i’ll see you later. i can pick you up if you want. after all i still have your bike in the back”

“i’d like that” as robin was about to leave but she stopped and stared at the girl for a moment. all she wanted to do was kiss her. it felt almost instinctive to part ways with one but she contained herself like she had done since the moment she met her. instead, she flashed her another smile as she got out of the car.

only two seconds after the door closed, sofia noticed robin forgot her apple her mom gave her that she never ended up eating thanks to sofia’s breakfast catering

she open the door in a hurried manner and called out robin’s name and causing her to jump and turn her head back to meet sofia’s eyes as she held up the red fruit, “you might get hungry later”

robin walked back to the driver’s side of the car to retrieve the fruit from sofia, their fingers slightly brushing up against each other as they partook in the exchange and looked up to meet each others eyes; the earth and the sea coming together as robin’s blue and sofia’s green locked

it wasn’t until their moment was cut off with a familiar yelling, “SOFIA”

quickly followed by an ambush of kids running towards the two girls

mike and dustin were smiling at the two girls while max and lucas followed behind them, arguing before sofia could intervene to see what the conflict was

“hey hey what are you two yelling about before first period has even started”

lucas looked at sofia, using his eyes to beg for back up, “tell her that new coke is better, tell her”

sofia looked at mike who mouthed, “its not” which made her giggle

“i’m sorry lucas, i can’t help you there. i don’t drink coke and you know i am an honest woman at all times but im SURE she’s right” she bent down slightly and motioned for lucas to come closer as she began to whisper , “they’re always right, especially one like max who is smarter than all of you combined” she paused for a moment “well dustin is close behind but i still stand by my statement” she winked at max who smiled at her.

max liked sofia, even though she had only just met her. lucas had told her a lot about her and sofia even promised to do a movie night with her

mike was about to walk off until he jumped towards sofia, “hEY do you think you can give us a ride home? my movie night isn’t until next week”

robin and sofia looked at each other, now with the younger ones in between them. they smiled at each other. they have already made it a thing to communicate with their eyes

“how’s this? im taking robin to work already so i will take the four of you with me if you can all squish together in the backseat, and mike” he looked way too excited when she turned her attention to him “we can do our movie night tonight but we have to finish in time for me to get robin after her shift”

mike nodded with such enthusiasm, it made max laugh

“now go all of you before you’re late” sofia said, looking like a proud mother sending her kids off

all four children ran off, yelling their goodbyes and waving their hands, dustin making a heart with his hands and screaming “I LOVE YOU” the purest of children

robin laughed as she stepped back to her original spot close to sofia, still eyeing the children as they ran off, “be honest, which one is your favorite”

sofia made a sarcastic and overdramatized shocked face, “a mother never has favorites..”

robin gave her a “that’s bullshit” look

“but will, its always been will. dustin has his moments”

robin smiled, “i figured”

“you should probably go too though. i’d hate to be the reason you’re late”

robin had the erge to kiss her again. she held back again.

not yet. not now.

[arthurs-wife]

hi, i love your writing! i was wondering if you could you please write something where arthur x f! reader are together but get into a huge fight, and maybe dont talk for a few days but arthur tries to make amends because he doesnt want another failed love? with a happy ending preferably! :’)

(i may not be good at smut, but i am good at being an overdramatic asshole)

“Are there more than four words in your lexicon?” you asked, keeping as much venom out of your voice as you could.

Arthur grunted at you, making things infinitely worse.

“Here, I’ll just have the whole conversation for us,” you sniped, standing up and throwing your hands on your hips and doing the worst impression of Arthur ever done, “‘just leave me alone woman, there ain’t nothin’ I want to say to you right now.’ Well, Arthur, there’s a ton of stuff I need to say to you because if you haven’t noticed, we’re not doing too well right now. ‘Probably because you won’t shut the hell up.’ Don’t tell me to shut up, Arthur.”

“Seems like you got it under control then,” he huffed, pulling his hat down and leaning further against the tree.

“I don’t know what I expected.”

“Well what do you want from me?”

“Tell me what’s bothering you, let me help you.”

“You really want to know what’s bothering me?” he asked, standing up and looking down at you.

“Please, tell me.”

“You are.”

“I don’t know why I try with you.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t anymore then.”

“I won’t.”

And you stomped off.

Maybe it was better if you two just went your separate ways. You could probably make it on your own in Valentine. You heard Strawberry was an up and coming town too. Hell, maybe he’d care more about you if you were more westward than here.

You were so caught up in your thoughts you didn’t see Charles and ran straight into him.

“Oh Charles,” you bumbled, steadying yourself as he caught your arms, “I’m so sorry.”

“What’s going on?”

“Just,” you struggled, throwing your hands up, “had it out with Arthur again.” You looked apologetic, dragging people in your business wasn’t your cup of tea.

“He can be a difficult nut to crack,” he smiled and you felt better. Charles seemed so genuine, you didn’t mind talking with him about your problems.

“Maybe I’m not cut out to be with you folk,” you said.

“Don’t say that, y/n,” he said gently, placing a hand on your shoulder, “you’ve fit in better than most stowaways we’ve brought on. We got lucky with you and Sadie.”

“I think I’m gonna go camping,” you said, looking out towards the trees.

“At this hour?”

“Can I borrow your percolator?”

Charles nodded and had the grace to not ask how long you’d be.

Waking up to an open sky was not something you’d done in a while and to be honest, you’d do it all the time if you could. There was a big, outcrop of rocks to the east of Horseshoe Overlook that you loved, so you had gone there. Unfortunately, it reminded you of the first time you and Arthur had kissed. He had been so shy and gentle with you, cupping your face with his broad hand and kissing your bottom lip so slightly he felt like a cloud. That was two months ago.

Charles’ percolator bubbled away and you looked at the sky around you, cloudless and crisp. It was strange, not having anywhere to be. You were a good hunter and were able to grab a rabbit every night, gamey as it may be. You tried to not worry about what Arthur was doing, if he cared about how long you were gone. To be fair, you had not told anyone where you were going and had taken care to cover your tracks.

Part of you just wanted to leave for good.

You did have all your things with you, it wouldn’t be hard to keep going west, maybe as far as New Austin. You couldn’t even remember what you and Arthur had been fighting about originally, just that he wouldn’t open up and tell you what was upsetting him. What the hell made you think you were special? What made you could stroll in and just unlock the secrets to this beautiful man? Stupid.

You angrily packed up your camp and mounted your horse. Valentine wasn’t far, you’d stop and load up on supplies before heading out. No one would miss you.

About halfway there you heard the sound of gunfire, coming just up the road. You hitched your horse on a tree and grabbed your rifle, cresting the hill carefully. There were three men with their backs to you, shooting at someone a ways up.

“Kill ‘im, lads!” you heard one of them say. Damn O’Driscolls.

With ease you dispatched them, one, two, three. When you were sure the coast was clear you stood up and waved to the figure down the road, who was walking towards you.

“You alright partner?” you called.

“Y/n?”

Oh shit. What divine intelligence placed the two of you together again?

“Arthur,” you greeted as the two of you approached. You stopped about ten feet apart.

What did you even say to each other.

“Where’s Rachel?” you ask. Rachel was his horse that he had stolen from the O’Driscolls just before moving to Horseshoe Overlook.

“They shot her,” he sighed, looking back to where she lay, “bastards ambushed me.”

“Arthur I’m so sorry,” you said, and you were. He smiled at you.

“S’alright,” he shrugged, “she weren’t no Bodacea.”

You hummed at him.

“What were you doin’ out here anyway?” you asked.

“Was helpin’ an old friend out,” he said sheepishly.

“Okay, that’s good,” you nodded. Could you stand to be more awkward?

“Her name’s Mary,” he offered, looking at you apologetically. The way he said it made you sad, even though you damn well you weren’t the first, and probably not the last.

“Alright, well,” you said, whistling for your horse, “you need some help, then? Can’t be too useful without a horse.”

“I wouldn’t want to burden you, y/n,” he said, mounting your horse behind you and putting his hands on your hips for support.

“Where we headed?” you asked, spurring your horse.

“Cumberland Forest.”

After riding for a few minutes, Arthur bends down to your ear.

“Where did you run off to, anyway?”

“I went camping.”

“For five days?”

“Why are you so interested?”

“I was worried,” he finally said, leaning back again like he hoped you wouldn’t hear it. You’d help him get the woman he wanted back and then leave camp for good.

The place you were going turned out to be full of loons and it came down to you to chase this poor fool down, Arthur bouncing around behind you as he tried to lasso him. The boy tried to off himself but Arthur was too quick, shooting the gun out of his hand and running to catch him as he fell.

Arthur could say whatever the hell he wanted, but he was a good man under it all.

“You still got your horse, boy?” he asked, holding the kid up.

“Yes, sir,” he replied.

“Good, get him and we’ll follow you back to town to make sure no one gets the drop on you.”

Arthur hopped up on the back of your horse again and told you to follow the boy to where Mary was staying. And you get to meet her, too? This was shaping up to be a great day.

“You weren’t planning on leaving us, were you?” he asked, “you know we have a code.”

“Is that a threat?” you shot back at him.

“No, I just meant-”

“I don’t care what you meant,” you cut him off, “I’ll speak with Dutch when we get back and let him know I’ll be leaving first thing.”

“Why did you help me then?” he asked. There was a hidden question in there, one you didn’t need him to elaborate on.

“Because you silly fool,” you were on the verge of tears, “I love you. And I don’t care who you’re true to or who you are, that’s not gonna change. I will always be there for you.” You stop and consider your actual position. “Which is why I’m stayin’, I guess. If y’all will have me.”

He didn’t say anything for the rest of the ride. When you arrived at Mary’s place, he hopped down and held out his arms for you. You reached out and he helped you down, keeping his hands on your waist and looking at you, finally looking at you.

“I don’t want you to leave, y/n,” he finally said, a smile creeping onto his face, “and I’m sorry for being an ass. You’ll have to teach me how to act in a union like this.”

“What makes you think that’s good enough?”

“It ain’t,” he said, “but stick around and let me be good enough for you.” 

You beamed as he swooped down and kissed you and you didn’t realize how much you had missed him.

“I won’t run off no more,” you said, walking with him up to the house.

“It seemed to work out in our favor this once,” he laughed and slipped his arm around your waist.

The look on Mary’s face would have been sad if you didn’t have the world’s most amazing man wrapped around you.

Roman rubbed his temple. The last of his classmates were emptying out, and he could hear the music drifting from the theater. You would think after a month he would be used to not going to rehearsal, but you would be wrong.

“Nooooo one-”

“No!” he could hear his director shout, bringing the piano notes to a halt. “You have to get your voice lower-”

Okay, maybe he didn’t miss everything about it. He just mainly missed being a part of something. And having something to distract from his thoughts. Like right now. He had to go to therapy and all he could think about was everything that had went wrong in the past week, and his mind was just not giving him a break. It would’ve been great to just belt something out now.

He had tried, once, to just sing by himself, but his dad had quickly shut that down. He said Roman was making too much noise, and when he had tried to explain what he was doing, his dad told them to go down to their home gym and work it off there. Roman knew technically that he wasn’t supposed to be exercising unsupervised, but what else could he do?

Roman slammed his locker shut and made his way out to the parking lot.

Instead of seeing his parents’ car, he saw Max’s, which was becoming a more common occurrence. When Max saw him approaching he tossed his keys. Roman reached his hands up to catch it but it slipped through his fingers. Max laughed.

“I don’t know why Dad wants you to go back to football, you suck,” he walked over to the passenger side, completely missing the look Roman gave him.

“What are you doing?” Roman asked, “I can’t drive your car.”

“Sure you can. You have your permit, I’m 23, get in.”

“But Mom and Dad have only taken me out once.”

“So? They don’t have time. I do.” With that, Max slides into the passenger seat and shuts the door.

Roman looks down at the keys and tries to breathe. He walks over to the front door and gets in.

“Breathe, baby bro. It’s just a car.”

“This car probably costs more than my life.”

“I wouldn’t say that,” Max laughs, “It’ll be fine. It’s a straight shot down the highway. The only thing you need to worry about is the speed limit.” Max watches as Roman pulls out of the parking lot. “And I have a feeling you’ll be too slow.”

“I’m not denying that.”

“So,” Max says, leaning back, “How was school?”

Roman groans without thinking. Max raises his eyebrows.

“The Theatre used to be, like, this safe haven, this escape for me, now it’s the worst part of my day!” Roman bursts out, “Everyone in my class is in the musical except for me! They sing the songs constantly, the only thing they talk about is what happened in rehearsal the day before! And I-” I’m already an outsider at home, I can’t be one there, too. “It’s just annoying.”

“Hate to break it to you, but theater kids are annoying.” Roman frowns and Max backtracks, “It’s just a joke, Ro, sorry. But really, that does suck.”

“I don’t even know why I didn’t do it, it was stupid.”

“Then why did you drop it?”

“My...doctor...thought it would be good for me to take some time off and focus on my health.”

Max goes silent for a moment before saying, “Oh.”

“Oh? What do you mean ‘oh’?”

“I mean oh, that’s probably a good idea then.”

“I literally just said it was a stupid idea.”

“But if your doctor thinks it’s a good idea shouldn’t you listen to him?”

“I guess,” Roman says, “It’s just-” he takes a deep breath. He knows he can’t say too much, “I wish I could just do normal things and be...normal.”

“Are you feeling okay? I’ve never heard you say that before,” Silence falls, and Max glances over at Roman, who is staring out the window. “Oh. You’re serious.”

“Of course I am!” Roman says, “You think I don’t know how annoying I am? How overdramatic and irritating? Of course I want to be the sports star like every Prince before me. But I’m not. And lately, I can’t even act like a normal person.” Roman shakes his head. “Whatever, sorry for going off like that. It’s nothing.”

“It’s not nothing, it’s just,” Max’s head falls back, “I am awful at this, but let me try. Eventually, you will be normal, you’re going to a doctor to make you normal-nope, that came out completely wrong.” Max winces, “Okay, um, you’re going to someone who’s going to make you your, uh, fabulous self again. And that’s good. Even if now it just feels like a long, agonizing process, that goal is within reach and you will get there, you just need a little help.”

“It’s not exactly little-”

“I know,” Max winces again, “I know that, Roman. I know that you’re hiding something-”

“What? I-”

“No, don’t. Don’t even bother denying it. A teacher was worried enough about you that they sent you to guidance counselor, and the guidance counselor was so concerned they got an outside therapy practice involved, and now you’ve been there for five months? And if you don’t want to tell us, that’s fine, you don’t have to. But I can’t keep pretending to believe you when you say you’re fine, you’re clearly not.”

Roman’s eyes immediately get misty at that, and he rubs his eyes.

“Are you crying?”

“If we could not address it, that’d be great,” Roman says, finally turning into Foster’s. Suddenly everything feels a little too real, and he needs to get out of this car.

“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. That was...a little intense. I just…”

“We can talk after,” Roman says, pulling into a parking space, “I’m going to be late.” Technically, he’s fifteen minutes early, but he needs Max to leave.

“Okay, we’ll-” Roman shuts the door before Max can continue talking.

Only after his little brother disappears into the building does he let his head fall against the dash once, twice, three times. God, he had to get better at this.

^

“I just had the strangest conversation with my brother,” Roman says, sitting in his usual seat next to Patton. “Like I think it was a heart to heart but it also felt like an interrogation.”

“Aww, that’s nice of him! At least he tried?” Patton says.

“If he even attempted a heart to heart, he gets an A for effort. That shit’s hard,” Virgil says, “What was it about?”

“Ugh,” Roman groans, “Can’t we wait until Picani gets here before we start having serious talk time?”

“Don’t have to wait long, then!” Picani says, sticking his head in. “What are we having serious talk time about?”

“My brother,” Roman sighs, knowing he’s not getting around this now, “We had this weird conversation, I told him I wanted to be normal, and snowballed into this whole thing about me coming here and how he knows I’m hiding something. It was just really weird.”

“Hiding something?” Patton asks.

“I may not have told my family about my eating disorder,” Roman admits, “Not because I don’t trust them! I just don’t want to stress them out or anything.”

“Are you sure it’s really about stressing them out?” Dr. Picani asks.

“Of course, what else would it be?”

“Are you afraid of disappointing them, perhaps? Is that why you suddenly feel the need to be ‘normal,’ as you put it?”

“I want to be normal because I failed at greatness. I tried to be brilliant and bold, but I ended up being annoying and overdramatic. I’m the joke of the family, the outcast of the theatre department, who knows what else I could fail at?”

“So you want to give up instead?” Logan asks.

“Not give up, just...aim lower,” Roman says, his voice quieter than usual. “Is there something wrong with that?”

“Well, yes, in a sense,” Dr. Picani says. “There’s something wrong in the sense that normal doesn’t exist, and aiming for what could be considered ‘normal’ by others means your dictating your life on what other people think, which is not what we want for you.”

“I just want to eat!” Roman snaps. “Sorry, I just...it’s been a long week.”

“We’ll discuss this more in our individual, Roman,” Emile says, gently, “But we have something else to accomplish today, something I think will also help you. We need to set some more goals for you guys.”

“Like what?” Patton asks, his voice a little too chipper.

“Well, like last time, that’s mainly up to you guys,” Dr. Picani says, “What do you think would be a good stepping stone? Though, I will say this, Roman, I think it would be a good idea to open up to Max a little bit more this time around.”

“Open up? How much?” Roman asks.

“As much as you want. Remember, you guys are in control here.”

“I...guess I could do that,” he replies, tentatively.

“Good! What about the rest of you?”

There’s a bit of silence before Virgil sighs.

“If Roman can open up to his brother, I guess I can open up to my aunt.”

“Ooh, that’s a great idea!” Emile says, making a note of it.

“Yeah, well, she’s been trying. I might as well meet her halfway.”

“I’m glad you see it that way, Virgil.”

“I’ve noticed recently that there are very few foods I eat,” Logan speaks up, “I think the natural way to progress would be to expand that. So...maybe some fruits?”

“Okay, good step,” his therapist says.

Four heads turn to Patton, who is focusing on the ground.

“I...don’t know.”

“That’s okay!” Dr. Picani says, “We can think of one. Personally, based on what Dr. Sanders has told me, I think you should try eating something for breakfast.”

That makes Patton look up. “You want me to eat more?”

“If this is up for discussion,” Virgil says, “I think he should work on being nicer to himself.”

“I’m nice everybody, don’t worry about that!” Patton says, trying to blow off that idea before anyone can say it’s a good one.

“We literally all know that’s a lie,” Logan says. Patton’s smile falls.

“Virgil’s got a point,” Emile says. “A very good one, in fact. Have you heard of affirmations?”

“Yes.”

“Has Dr. Sanders given them to you?”

“Yes.”

“Did you actually recite them out loud, into a mirror?”

“Well, no, not like that, just...to myself…”

“Ah, but then they don’t work as well. That settles it! I want you to come up with a positive affirmation with Dr. Sanders and recite it at least five times before next week.”

“I can do that,” Patton says, voice tight. He clears it, then tries again, “I can do that.”

“Great!” their therapist says, “Then I’ll see you all back next week.”

gruvia drabble

author's note: bro i wanna write angst so bad involving like a battle or sum but im hOrRiBlE at writing action scenes!!! that has nothing to do w this prompt im just venting lmao!! this is ab gray and juvia taking on some missions after the alvarez arc. enjoy bbies!!<33

*

Juvia scanned the new board for jobs to take on. The guild had just finished its rebuilding after the Alvarez war, and it was time to get back to work. She was eager to find something to do with Gray, since she loved going on jobs with him and just spending time with him in general. After finding one that looked fairly straightforward and with a decent reward, she quickly ripped it off its tack and searched for Gray.

After a few moments she found him at a table by himself, eating his lunch. A big smile lit up the water mage's face as she scurried over to him.

"Gray-sama!" She called out as she ran to the head of the table, seeming to catch Gray off-gaurd. "Juvia has a mission for us to go on!" She smiled and proudly held out the paper for Gray to see.

He quickly skimmed it, hardly giving it a read. "Nah, I'm good." He said simply and resumed eating his food.

"Eh?!" Juvia yelped as she felt a knife take a jab at her heart. "But it's been so long since we've gone on a job together, Gray-sama!" Her eyes overdramatically began to fill with tears.

"I still don't wanna' go." He looked up at her with an almost annoyed face, and then went back to eating like before.

"B-b-but!" Juvia frantically stammered, dumbfounded at the rejection she just faced.

"I'll see ya' later." Gray ignored her spasms as he stood from the table and took his now empty plate with him, going to a different part of the guild.

Juvia's mouth was on the ground in horror. How could he be so blatantly uninterested?! She was at a loss for words, which was rather unlike her.

The next day, she tried her best to rub off her rejection, and approached the guild with a fresh spirit, not letting the day before get to her. "Maybe he wasn't interested in the mission, that's all." She decided to herself that was all it was, and approached the board again, ready to find a new job for she and Gray to venture on. She wouldn't give up that easily.

Her feet were stopped in her tracks when she saw what was before her. She saw familiar black locks, and he was looking at the job board. Juvia practically squealed from happiness. Gray wanted to pick out the job himself! That was all! He really was just being picky! With her morale high, she giddily ran over to Gray, and wrapped her arms around him, pressing her chest onto his back, causing Gray to jump.

"Gray-sama, if you wanted to pick the mission to go on yourself you should've just said so!" She giggled, keeping her hold locked onto him.

"W-what're you talkin' about?!" Gray exclaimed, startled by Juvia's grasp.

"The mission we're going to go on, darling!" Juvia finally let go and switched to his side, leaning onto him so she could see the paper he had in his hands. "So, what is it?!" She inquired.

"It's a mission that I'm goin' on. Just me." Gray pulled the paper away from her gaze and took a step to the side.

"Just you?! But what about Juvia?!" She was feeling something similar to the day before, but it stung even more this time.

"Yeah, just me." He frowned. "I'll be back by tomorrow, alright? It shouldn't take long." Gray turned and walked out the guild, paper in hand, and went out onto his solo job, leaving Juvia to wallow in grief.

The day after, Juvia was much more reluctant to even go to the guild that day. Her whole being was practically crushed yesterday by her love, and she wasn't exactly thrilled by it. She really was running low on money, though, so she decided she had to go and look for a job by herself, as much as it pained her to do.

She sulked her way over to the guild, picked out a job that would give her the extra cash that she needed, and sulked her way out of the guild, not stopping to make conversation with anyone.

The mission was about an hour train ride away, so she walked to the station, looking down to the ground practically the whole way. She remained slugging around, not being able to shake Gray off her mind. Why was he acting so cold? Had she done something wrong? She wasn't sure, but she knew she had to push it to the back of her mind and focus at the task at hand. She nodded to herself as she sat down on a bench, waiting for her train, and decided she would worry about all of that later.

"Oi."

Or she would worry about it now.

She finally looked up and saw the very person she just decided to blur out for the next couple hours. There he stood, just a few feet in front of her in perfect focus.

"Oh. Hi, Gray-sama." She said with much less spunk than normal.

"What're you doin' here?" He approached her with a raised brow. He must've been coming back from the job he just went on.

"Going on a mission. Juvia has to take the train for it." She looked to the side. She was a little embarrassed to asmit she had to go all by herself.

"What?" Gray's voice was slightly louder. "By yourself? Why?" He seemed annoyed.

"W-well," She was taken aback by his sudden irritation. "Juvia needed money, and I tried going on a job with Gray-sa-"

"So that means you gotta' go by yourself?" He pried.

"It's not a big deal, Gray-sama." She stood up and smiled nervously, almost trying to soothe him. "This job will be very easy for Juvia."

"Are you even healed from-" He paused and winced, like something had just hurt him. "From the fight. With Invel." He said, in a lower voice, looking to the side, shamefully.

"Of course Juvia is." Worry struck her. Gray seemed truly upset about something.

"But what if--"Gray was getting worked up again, but stopped. "Forget it." He sighed.

Juvia turned her head slightly, with a puzzled look on her face. Gray finally spoke. "I-I just don't think you should go on this mission."

"Why's that? You don't even know what it is." She said, still not really getting it.

A brilliant idea sparked in her mind. "Gray-sama should just come with Juvia!" She cheered and held her arms up, excited all over again.

"No." Gray answered immediately, his voice boomed. "I-I can't." He spat out in annoyance and looked away. He said nothing once more. Her excitement was dulled once again, but she wasn't as broken by it this time. She wanted to understand Gray.

"Gray-sama," Juvia put her hand on his arm. "What's wrong?"

"I-I'm" He looked down. "I'm worried about you." He all but whispered in a grumble.

"You're... worried?" She was in shock. He bever blatantly just said things like that.

"Yeah, I'm worried, alright." He blurted, face turning pink.

"But, why?"

"Because you--" He stammered. "If you go on a job by yourself, I'm not there to help you, and if you do go with me, you always put my safety before yours and then you'll end up--" He rambled, and then came to a sudden stop.

"Gray-sama..." She softly spoke

"I'm not letting that happen again." His voice was rough and low. "I just wanna' protect you and--" His voice got caught in his throat. "And I can't."

"Gray-sama, Juvia isn't as fragile as you think." She gave him a warm smirk.

"I know that, but still..." He mumbled.

"And Juvia will always protect Gray-sama. No matter what, so there is no use in trying to convince Juvia not to do so." She looked up at him with sweet, but serious eyes. "And don't worry so much about what Juvia did, because I know you would do the same thing."

"But if you did that again... And something happened to you, I--" He took a deep breath. "I don't know what I'd do." He finally said, almost helplessly.

"Gray-sama, please do not dwell on these things so much. Juvia is here. I did not die." She brought her hand up to his cheek so he would finally look at her, and he did not resist. "Juvia is strong. You are strong. We're strong because of what we've been through, and we will always protect one another. We're an unstoppable force." She tilted her head with a comforting grin.

Their gaze between one another was deep. "Okay." He exhaled.

She smiled and suddenly embraced him in her arms. Gray had his arms up for a moment as Juvia had hers wrapped around his waist. Soon, he brought his arms down, and they lightly landed onto her, and his fast softened with a red glow.

She looked up at him, not letting go. "So how about you come with Juvia on this job?" She gave him a cheeky smile.

"Alright." Gray said with a small chuckle.

"Yay!" She squealed and giggled with excitement into his chest, and as if it was magic, their train was coming to a stop.

"Ok, ok, the train's here now!" Gray let her go on for a few more moments and pulled her away from him.

"Oh! Right!" She forgot all about the mission for that second. "Let's go!" She grabbed Gray by his hand and lead him to the train as he trailed behind.

Gray couldn't help but smile. He watched her blue waves bounce up and down with excitement as she hussled them to the train. As they stepped onto the cart she turned back to him, flashing a smile of pure joy with her long lash-covered eyes gleaming. "Ready, Gray-sama?" She chimed.

"Yeah." He grinned with content.

He would do anything to protect that smile, and that was the only reassurance he needed.

They knew that they would always have one another, and that was more than enough.

Danganronpa Imagine | V3 girls getting jealous and their S/O reassuring them (2/2)

A/N: Here’s the second half, thanks for your patience!

Angie, Tsumugi, Tenko, and Himiko x S/O

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: N/A

Requests are closed at the moment!

Angie Yonaga

“Ya-hoo! S/O, over here!” In her usual sing-song voice, Angie called over her S/O.

“Oh, Angie, what’s up? What did you wanna talk about?”

In the morning before school, Angie’s S/O had received a text message from the Ultimate Artist.

6:37 AM: 💖 Angie 💖: gooooooooood morning, s/o! did u sleep well???? i sure did! btw can u meet me after school today??

6:41 AM: You: gm! yeah, i slept fine and of course, cant wait to see you!

6:41 AM:  💖 Angie 💖: nyahaha, im happy to hear it~! bye-onara, see u later!! (✿´‿`)

They had proceeded to be a nervous wreck the entire day, wondering what Angie could possibly be calling them over for. ...Maybe a date? they optimistically considered.

“Well, S/O, Angie has called you here today because Atua is mad and disappointed with you,” she stated as casually as if she were announcing the weather.

Oh.

Despite not even really believing in Atua themself, her S/O still felt the slightest bit offended. “W-what did I do?”

“Nyahahaha, there’s no use playing dumb, for Atua knows all!” Her S/O winced as Angie stared intensely, almost unsettlingly, into their eyes. “But if you really forgot, then Angie supposes it won’t hurt to remind you!”

“Uh, yes, please, er, r-remind me...?”

“To put it simply, you tricked Atua. You promised loyalty and devotion to only His vessel, yet you let yourself be defiled at the hands of another woman!” The artist’s cheerful demeanor didn’t match her words at all.

“I was... defiled?” They frowned.

“Right-o! That short brunette tainted you with her constant hugs and touches!” Angie sounded legitimately concerned before perking up instantly. “It’s quite alright though! If you’re sacrificed soon enough, Atua will purify your soul and welcome you!”

“Angie, wait! Slow down!” Surprisingly enough, the artist did simmer down and allow them time to think. A short brunette that hugs me a lot? ...Ah, I remember now.

“It’s not what you think! That girl, she’s, like, obsessed with me or something. I push her away, yet she always returns. I promise you, I’m not seeing anyone but you, Angie,” her S/O frantically explained, a tad scared for their life.

“Oh, then you won’t have any trouble with her anymore!” she exclaimed with a huge grin. “Atua said that He really liked her blood sacrifice!”

“Wha-?! A-Angie, did you-?!”

“Nyahaha, of course not! Angie’s just joking!” She laughed lightheartedly, and her S/O let a sigh of relief escape their lips. “Besides, Angie remembers her promise to you. Y’know, the one where she can’t make any more sacrifices, no matter how much He wants one?” the artist pouted.

“Y-yes, I remember, and I’m super duper grateful,” her S/O laughed nervously.

“Still... Something must be done about that girl, don’tcha think, S/O?” she wondered. “Anyone who stands between our sacred love must be dealt with! ...So says Atua.”

Her S/O blinked. “Wow, Atua really doesn’t like that girl, huh?”

“He says she gives Him bad vibes,” Angie said with a shrug.

“Angie...” they began slowly, not knowing quite how to phrase their question. “Are you sure that, well, Atua’s really the one who dislikes the girl? Like, it’s not you that’s annoyed with her?”

Before the two had started dating, her S/O had learned that Angie had difficulty differentiating her own emotions from Atua’s. However, at the time, she was convinced all her emotions and actions were because of the god. Despite this, after hanging out with her for several weeks, her S/O was soon to pinpoint some emotions that were definitely Angie’s own: for example, her love for them.

“Nyahaha, who knows? Atua works in mysterious ways!”

Her S/O bit back a grimace. Normally they loved her chipper, eccentric personality, but this really was a serious moment. “Look, let’s try to talk this out before... you do something you regret to that girl.”

“Sounds good!” she agreed.

“So, when the girl gets really touchy with me, it annoys you, right?”

“Right-o!” Angie sang.

Her S/O bit back an amused smile. “Angie, are you... jealous?”

The Ultimate Artist blinked. “Hmm, that’s certainly a plausible verdict! After all, Atua gets very lonely when you don’t play with Him!”

I’ve hit the nail on the head, it seems. “Hey, Angie, if you’re getting jealous, you can just tell me, y’know? No more of this, uh, Atua-being-mad-at-me stuff.”

The artist appeared to think this over but said nothing in response, so her S/O continued.

“I’ll give that girl one final warning to change her ways, alright?” They smiled. “And I want you to know that the day I stop loving you is the day I die.”

“Aww, that’s no good, S/O! There’s still the afterlife to think about!”

“Ah, right.” Her S/O laughed.

“Angie has already secured a nice spot in the afterlife since she’s a platinum disciple, but she worries about you!” She took their hands in her’s. “Angie will pray for you too, so we can be together forever!”

Her S/O softly smiled and squeezed her hands. Even if the Ultimate Artist was a bit weird in expressing her love, her affection for her S/O was nonetheless loud and clear. To let someone like her become jealous of another girl... I must be the worst partner ever, they thought regretfully.

“I love you, Angie. Don’t ever worry about anyone else coming between us, okay? You’re all I need, in this life and the next,” they reassured.

“Angie better be, lest Atua release His wrath upon you!” Despite sounding menacing, her words were full of love. She giggled and jumped on her S/O, squeezing him into a tight hug.

“Atua loves... No, Atua and Angie love you too!”

Tsumugi Shirogane

“Tsumugi, I've noticed you've been scratching at your skin for a while now. do you want some moisturizer or something like that?”

Tsumugi’s S/O didn’t want to bring her reddish skin up for fear of offending her, but they were starting to feel bad for the cosplayer. Scratching and twitching uncomfortably for the past hours or so; it really was a bit concerning. Plus, since she was currently a guest at their home, they felt responsible for making her as comfortable as possible.

“Thanks for offering, but I’ve already tried lotion earlier and this rash didn’t go away,” the Ultimate Cosplayer replied.

Her S/O blinked. A persistent rash all over her body? Sounds oddly similar to cospox... they thought. However, as far as they could tell, despite a slight change in style, Tsumugi didn’t seem to be dressed too similarly to anyone else they knew. However, speaking of which...

“Tsumugi, I’ve noticed that you turned to pastel yellows and pinks, rather than your usual blue uniform. Can I ask why? Oh, not that there’s anything wrong with this new look! You look great!” they added quickly.

“Oh!” The Ultimate Cosplayer seemed unprepared for this question, not to mention a little uncomfortable. “Well, thank you! Yeah, I, uh, just got inspiration from this new anime that aired a while ago. There were, um, lots of pastels, and I thought it would be, er, cool to switch up from being so plain all the time.”

Ah, of course, Tsumugi and her otaku interests. In fact, their shared interest in mainstream and obscure media was what brought them together in the first place. “Oh, cool. What’s the anime? I may have seen it,” her S/O asked.

If Tsumugi wasn’t nervous before, now she truly was. Being who she was, she should’ve been able to pull out any pastel-themed anime out of her brain like it was nothing, but her thoughts were currently a jumbled mess.

“I-I, well, it’s, I f-forget the name... You know, i-it’s, I...?” she sputtered. She began scratching at her skin a bit more.

“Ts-Tsumugi, are you okay? You’re pretty pale and sweating quite a bit; are you sick?” her S/O asked, concerned.

“Y-you know what? Be right back.” Tsumugi suddenly picked up her backpack and trekked into the bathroom, leaving her bewildered S/O behind on the couch.

A few minutes later she reappeared, but this time she was back in her blue uniform, the old pastels nowhere to be found.

“Ah-? Tsumugi, you didn’t need to change! Sorry if my question made you uneasy-”

“No, don’t worry about it, you didn’t do anything.” She sighed.

Tsumugi’s S/O was about to inquire her more, but then they noticed something very odd. Her skin...? It’s no longer red, they realized. No, this can’t just be a coincidence.

They cleared their throat. “Uh, were you, by chance, cosplaying as someone real...?”

Bullseye. A jump and an expression of horror was all the confirmation they needed.

“Tsumugi...” they began, confused.

“I can explain,” she interrupted. Her panicked state had promptly vanished, replaced with a face of solemnness and almost... resent?

“I’ve seen you hanging around that other girl, you know. The one with the frilly pastel outfits,” she said calmly, looking directly at her S/O. “At first, I tried to ignore it. But then she started giving you hugs like it was nothing, and I was... I was just plain terrified she was taking you from me.”

Tsumugi’s S/O’s eyes widened. They opened their mouth to reply, but the cosplayer continued.

“So I took her pastel style and incorporated it into some outfits to wear. I didn’t think it would be enough to trigger my cospox, but I guess really deep down, my body knew that what I was doing wasn’t right.” She laughed softly. “In hindsight, this really was an awful plan. I know that you’re not someone to fall for looks, especially clothing, but I guess I was just... desperate. Desperate for any possible way to keep you.”

“Tsumugi, that girl and I are just friends. Those were platonic hugs, but if they make you uncomfortable, I can stop,” they suggested.

"Oh, no, no, it's fine. I'm just being overdramatic. It's my fault for being so plain possessive," she replied bitterly.

It suddenly clicked in her S/O's mind. This feeling of resent emanating from the cosplayer, it wasn't directed at their friend. She was mad at herself.

Before the cosplayer could utter any more self-deprecating words, they swiftly swooped her into a tight embrace. “You’re not being overdramatic or possessive at all. I’m sorry for not noticing what was going on.”

Tsumugi buried her face into their chest, eyes beginning to brim with tears. “You’re... You’re not mad at me?” She suddenly faced upwards, staring right into her S/O’s eyes. “Y-you should be mad! This is- I’m unforgivable.”

Tsumugi’s S/O comfortingly ran their fingers through her hair. “Of course not I’m not mad. In fact, knowing that you care so much about me, it’s touching.” They laughed softly. “Tsumugi, you can’t control your feelings, so try not to beat yourself up about this, okay?”

“I...” Feeling embarrassed, she retreated back into the safety and comfort of her S/O’s warm chest. “Maybe you’re right.”

“Just promise me that if you’re uncomfortable about anything ever, always feel free to talk to me about it. I won’t ever blame you for anything,” they reassured.

Although muffled, her S/O was able to hear Tsumugi murmur a quiet, “I promise.”

Tenko Chabashira

Tenko and her S/O sat at their usual hangout spot during lunch. Although a few of their friends also hung around them, they tended to only talk to one another. After all, due to a lack of shared classes, lunch and break became their only chances to interact during the school day.

The two made light conversation about nothing in particular, instead focusing mostly on their lunches. However, a few minutes into lunch, another girl came jogging up to Tenko’s S/O, a bit out of breath. This mystery girl had never approached their lunch group before, but no one really minded her presence.

“Oh, S/O...! I was... looking everywhere for you!” She hunched over, breathing heavily.

The Ultimate Aikido Master cocked an eyebrow at her S/O. “Oh, is she your friend?”

“Yeah, she’s in most of my classes, actually,” they replied and turned to face the girl. “Do you need something?”

She straightened up and cleared her throat. “Nothing in particular. Just wanted to hang out with you this lunch!” The girl took their hand in her’s and beamed.

Tenko’s S/O shot a glance at the martial artist and noticed her tensing up. Shaking the girl off their hand with an awkward laugh, they blinked uneasily. “Well, sure, of course you can. But don’t you usually hang out with your own friend group?”

The newcomer took a few steps back, lip trembling. “A-are you asking b-b-because you want me to g-go back to them...?” Her eyes began watering, which caused them to start panicking.

��W-what?! No, that’s not what I-”

“Hahaha, I’m just joking! Chill out, dude!” The girl playfully pinched their cheek, resulting in a barely audible “Tch.” from Tenko.

“Yeah, my friends all just went to the library to study, but I have, like, no homework or upcoming tests, so I decided to not join them,” she explained. “So I ran all over campus trying to find you!” At the last word, the girl lightly tapped them on the nose.

She proceeded to plop down right in between the Tenko and her S/O, much to the Aikido master’s irritation. In fact, Tenko didn’t even bother hiding her face of pure disgust; either the girl didn’t notice or didn’t care.

She continued practically swooning over Tenko’s S/O, resting her head on their shoulder, giving them impromptu hugs, among other things. Right as Tenko felt her temper about to snap, she quickly stood up, looked the girl dead in the eye, and asked her to leave in the most polite way she could muster.

“Sorry, but I’ll have to ask you to leave,” she declared matter-of-factly.

Her S/O and the girl both turned to face her.

“Huh? How come?” the newcomer pouted.

“I have something to discuss with S/O.”

The other girl opened her mouth to protest, but Tenko’s S/O spoke up quickly. “Yeah, I think you should go. Sorry.”

She blinked at them in surprise, looking back and forth between the two people ushering her to leave. Finally, after a few seconds, she packed her things and walked off with a huff.

“...Are you two really just friends? She seemed a bit too friendly to me.” The question sounded more like an accusation.

“What? Of course we’re just friends!” Tenko’s S/O looked a bit offended by even the suggestion. “And I agree, she was really raising some red flags...”

“Then why didn’t you push her away?” she inquired. “You know, tell her that you were uncomfortable?”

“S-sorry, I probably should’ve said something. I just didn’t really wanna be rude.”

Tenko scoffed. “She was the one who was being rude, not respecting your personal space like that!”

Her S/O furrowed their brows in contemplation. Although admittedly not very calm to begin with, they had only ever seen the Ultimate Aikido Master get this fired up around “degenerate males.” Something about the girl had really rubbed Tenko the wrong way.

“...Hey, you know I can take care of myself, right?” her S/O slowly spoke up. After running through a list of possible reasons for her behavior, they felt that maybe her protective instincts had taken control. “If she had gone any farther, I could defend myself just fine.”

“I... That’s not it.” Tenko shook her head.

“Oh. Then, uh, what is it?”

“I know you can protect yourself. I’m not scared of that sort of thing. It, well...” She sighed. “Fine, it bothers me when she acts so buddy-buddy with you.”

Tenko had never been one to hide her emotions, which her S/O was thankful for, especially in situations like this. Communication was never a problem between the two.

“I mean, who does she is? Basically throwing herself on top of you, especially when your girlfriend is less than one foot away?! That’s classic degenerate male behavior!” She threw her hands up in the air in exasperation.

Her S/O laughed as she spouted her catchphrase. “So what you’re telling me is... You’re jealous?”

They were just joking, but the martial artist’s face reddened. “M-me? Jealous?! Jealousy is an emotion for degenerate males that are too possessive over their partners, and as such, I c-can’t possibly be... j-jealous...”

She faltered, realization dawning on her face. So she wasn’t hiding it on purpose. She just... Didn’t know? her S/O thought, amused.

“Haha, hey, Tenko, it’s okay if you’re jealous. Feeling that way doesn’t make you stoop down to a, well, ‘degenerate male’s’ level,” they reassured her.

“So, Master was wrong then?”

He’s wrong about a lot of things, her S/O stopped themself before it slipped out of their mouth. “Well, yeah, you can’t control your feelings. I’m glad you told me about this, really.”

Tenko visibly relaxed, a huge invisible weight taken off her shoulders.

“Hey, next time I come across her, I’ll tell her to stop calm down a bit with all the physical contact. And Tenko, I want you to know that you’re my number one and always will be. I’m... I’m sorry that you had to feel jealous in the first place. You wouldn’t have felt that way if I communicated my feelings more...”

“S/O, don’t blame yourself!” she cheerfully demanded. “If you have time to sulk in regret, you have time to change for the better! That’s what Master always told me! ...Or is that also wrong?” she second-guessed herself.

Her S/O laughed and swept her into a loving embrace. “No, that’s correct,” they said softly in her ear. “I’ll start changing now then... Tenko, I love you. I love your enthusiasm, your pep-talks, sensitive side, everything. You’re the only one for me.”

She almost completely melted in embarrassment right in their arms. “I l-love you too, S/O!” she determinedly declared, hoping the waver in her voice went unnoticed.

A few intimate seconds passed before they reluctantly pulled apart. Tenko fidgeted with her fingers. “I... I kind of feel bad for your classmate. I should go apologize.”

“Oh, ah, right. Haha, I’ll go with you.”

Himiko Yumeno

“S/O, are you ready for some more magic?!” Himiko asked with over-the-top enthusiasm.

“Himiko, that’s the sixth one in a row. Are you sure you’re not tired?” The magician’s mage’s S/O had been invited over to Himiko’s house after school and had since been bombarded by an onslaught of magic displays. Of course, they didn’t mind at all. In fact, they loved seeing Himiko so passionate, but it was a bit out of character. She usually complained about being out of MP after the first or second demonstration.

“Of course not. Today the planets are all aligned so I’m surging with magical power,” she matter-of-factly replied.

“Oh, uh, right.” Her S/O felt that such a phenomenon would’ve definitely made the headlines of hundreds of news networks, but they decided not to comment on it. “Himiko, you know what? We should have a quick break. Even with your boosted MP, a little intermission never hurts, right?”

“Nyeh...” The mage hesitated for a bit but ultimately nodded. “You’re right.”

Her S/O subtly breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Himiko felt as if she could take on the world right now, they still didn’t want her accidentally overexerting herself.

They settled down at the dining room table. The mage had practically deflated after plopping down on a chair, so her S/O found and boiled some tea themself. The two made light conversation, but mostly silently enjoyed each other’s company.

However, the moment they finished their tea, Himiko quickly shot up to her legs, wobbling a bit. “Time to continue the magic show!” she announced.

“Wait, s-slow down!” Her S/O swiftly scooped up the two cups and deposited them in the sink. “Himiko, I know you said that your MP’s all boosted, but are you sure that’s the only reason you’re doing so many demonstrations?” Planetary alignment or not, the mage had never shown so much enthusiasm before. Even when at official performances, she was never this excited.

“N-nyeh? What do you mean?” she stuttered.

“You usually start saying ‘It’s a pain...’ after just one trick,” they pointed out.

“Trick?”

“Er, sorry, I meant after one display of magic. My point still stands though.”

Himiko furrowed her brows in defiance. “I-I told you, the planets are all aligned today, s-so-”

“Himiko,” they chided. “Are you positive that’s the whole truth? I won’t be mad if it’s not.”

“I-I-I-I’m n-not lying! O-o-of c-course it’s...” The mage faltered. “F-fine, that might not the whole reason,” she slowly admitted.

“Oh.” Although her S/O knew something was up, they hadn’t expected Himiko to actually admit it. “So, uh, what is it?”

“It kinda has to do with this other girl,” she murmured. “Y’know, the tall, purple-haired one that’s super good at sports? She’s, like, on the track and swimming team.”

“Oh, yeah, I know that girl. What about her?”

“W-well, I kept on seeing her hang around you. I didn’t really care at first, but then I started noticing her always touching you, like jumping on you or using your lap as a pillow. And you weren’t pushing her away, either,” Himiko sulked.

“I... I’m sorry, I didn’t know that was bothering you. I’ll tell her to knock it off.” Her S/O awkwardly scratched the back of their neck. “But what does this have to do with you performing more magic lately?”

“When I saw how you kept on hanging out with her, it made me start to think that maybe... Maybe you preferred more athletic, energetic girls. You know, instead of people like me.”

“Himiko...”

“So I decided to try harder. I thought that if you were impressed by how hardworking I was, you w-wouldn’t-” She sniffled. “L-leave me for her.”

“H-Himiko, I’ll never leave you! I wouldn’t be dating you if I didn’t love you for who you are!” her S/O frantically reassured her.

“A-are you sure? I know it must be a pain to be in a relationship with me, s-since I don’t do much...”

“I’m positive. You’re all I’ll ever want and all I’ll ever need. Even if you think that your laziness is annoying, that’s what makes you, well, you. And I love all of you.”

Himiko finally let herself sob. She practically tackled her S/O in a hug, who scooped her into their arms bridal-style. Himiko clung to them and buried her face into their chest, blending together a mishmash of phrases.

“I-I’m sorry-” A hiccup. “I l-love you too, and I was just really scared, and I know I should’ve-”

“Shh, it’s okay, Himiko,” they softly consoled the bawling mage. “I know you must be exhausted, so let’s go sleep.”

Although other couples would think the two weird for literally sleeping on dates, Himiko and her S/O found nothing more comforting than cuddling until one or the other fell asleep by their side.

She stretched and yawned in response, shutting her eyes and tightening her squeeze on them.

Her S/O laughed. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

Sorry not Sorry

Chapter 3

Summary: A random number wakes you up early on a Saturday morning. But it doesn't stop there. The stranger keeps on sending messages, and you have no idea what is happening, when you start to develop feelings for the unknown person.

Pairings: Tom Holland  x Reader [submit your name: How it works]

Y/N your Name

Y/F your friends name

Word Count:  1980

Chapter 1  Chapter 2  Chapter 4

Warnings: There will be swearing for sure, lots of sarcasm

A/N: Screenshots of the Conversations will follow shortly. Tom still keeps texting but its getting more personal with each chapter. I hope you enjoy and are as excited as I am on how this story will develop. I have planned some nice shit lol 

Spending the evening in Pajamas in front of your TV, watching some Series and eating unhealthy food was something that kept you sane after a hard week of work. It became a habit, you didn't want to miss out on during friday nights when some of your friends went out, clubbing, drinking and having their time of their life. As you were stuffing the cheesy pizza into your mouth, a little ‘bling’ signalled an incoming message. You looked at your phone and grabbed it with your free hand, with the other you kept on biting into the Pizza slice. [phone]: Where do you live?

Sighing, you dropped your phone onto your lap. Would this Tom - guy ever stop texting you? It happened more frequently the past few days and you had no idea why.

You: Hopefully far away from you

Something in your gut told you, that he wasn’t living far away from you. He definitely lived somewhere in england, for sure because his phone number showed the british area code but how big was the possibility that he lived in the same town as you?

Massive, you thought. Its London after all.  

[phone]:   You’re so bitter

Oh somebody isn’t happy with my answer, you guessed, and smiled a little as you typed back a response.

You: I’m not bitter. Only careful who Im texting with since you’re still a stranger to me.

It didn’t take Tom long to answer and his message made you smile again. Stop that, Y/N! Rolling your eyes, you thought about a cheeky answer.

[phone]: I’m not a stranger anymore! You know my name and I know yours!

You: Do you have any friends? It seems that you don’t have any since you’re texting me so often.

[phone]: Well, I could say the same about you since you don’t bother answering.

Good answer, you thought and felt kind of defeated. But you just didn’t want to give in yet so you thought about a smart thing you could answer.

You: Maybe it’s true. Would that mean you’d leave me alone since I’m socially awkward and a loner?

[phone]: Nope. I’d even annoy you even more.

You: Bloody hell

[phone]: We’re getting along so well!

You: I don’t think so

[phone]: :(

This guy was really persistent and at some point you accepted the fact that you were talking to someone you had no idea who it was. The chances of meeting each other were slim, as you didn’t intend in making friends with this person(at least for now). You didn’t care if he lived around the corner or not (Except if he were a serial killer, but you threw the thought over board. Stop being so overdramatic Y/N), as long as he didn’t become someone creepy.

After the exchange of Text messages, you put away the rest of your pizza and headed into bed, since it was getting late. You were hoping for a nice long sleep this night and hopefully no one would wake you up again. You glanced one more time to your phone and made sure, that the sound for text messages was silent, before you hopped into your bed and buried yourself under the thick and soft blankets. Soon, sleep took over and you drifted off into a  deep, calm slumber.

A loud ringing noise woke you up way too early in the morning. Even though the curtains in front of your windows were closed, you could tell that it was still dark outside since there was no sign of light, it must’ve been somewhere around five in the morning,

“I’m gonna kill you” you murmured into your pillow as you lunged at your phone, only to see that the ringing has stopped. It didn’t show the number nor Caller ID so you wanted to throw your phone back to the little nightstand but as it light up, a new message was shown.

[phone]: I lost haz again

“You gotta be kidding me”, you murmured and opened Whatsapp afterwards to send a reply.

You: Are you SHITTING me? And that’s why you Text me early in the morning…

ON A SATURDAY?

A reply came soon after you’ve pressed the green send button on your messenger.

[phone]: Shit I’m sorry! I didn’t think about the time difference. Sorry sorry sorry

You: You texted a british Number, dude. You should know the time here!

[phone]: Sorry! Really! I swear I didn’t mean to wake you up.

You: Now go look for haz, bloody hell

[phone]: Yes Ma’am

Wait, you’re in the UK? That means we live in the same country

You saw him still typing but you tried to cut him off, in hope he would just shut up already and let you sleep.

You: What did I just tell you?

[phone]: Sorry!

You lie awake in your bed for a little while, seeing if a new message were on the way but there was no sign after fifteen minutes so you decided to check if Tom found his friend again. It’s something, you used to do with your own friends as well. You were mostly the person, checking on them and being the babysitter on night outs so you felt like asking Tom if he found his friend. You didn’t want to worry and being lost in a city you don’t even know could be really dangerous. So better be safe than sorry.

You: Found him?

[phone]: Yes, we’re in the Uber back to the Hotel!

You: Ok. Good night

[phone]: Wait. Did you stay awake to be sure we found each other?

You: Good. night.

[phone]:   :)

You care!

You sighed annoyingly and turned around in your bed. How did this guy even manage to wake you up every weekend? Well, that was only the second in a row but if he kept on doing that, you’d turn the game around and get on his nerves, you swore that to yourself.

You drifted back into a deep slumber, your last thought being about Tom, and how he must’ve been in a different country since he seemed to be in a different time zone. You wondered where he was and put it on your imaginary list to ask him some time soon.

You were out with Y/F for some afternoon lunch. As you guys ordered something, she realized that you were much more on your phone than usual.

“Are you waiting for an important call?”, she asked, giving you a questioning look.

“Oh, no sorry. I’m gonna put it away.”

She eyed you for a moment longer, since she knew you hated to be on your mobile when you met friends. So it must’ve been something important, that you were waiting for to check on the little device every so often, Y/F thought.

At some point, you heard your phone buzz in your pocket, but you didn’t want to disturb your friend while eating, so you tried to ignore it but she didn’t miss your eyes light up at the little sound.

“I heard it. If its important, check it out”, she said, taking a big bite of her Turkey sandwich.

[phone]:   Y/N!!!

You: What is it?

If it’s not important, leave me alone

I’m busy

You pressed the send button and put your phone back on the table, taking a sip of your drink. You felt the stares, Y/F was giving you but you didn’t know how to tell her about the stranger. Just as your phone vibrated again, you sighed and took a hold of it.

[phone]:   Hi

You: omg

[phone]:   I was wondering

Did you safe my number?

You: no, why should I?

You’re a stranger after all

You didn’t wait for an answer from Tom, instead you shoved your phone bloody-minded into your bag and took a bite from your food. “Is it the stranger?” Y/F suddenly asked and you nearly choked on your lunch. While you tried to swallow, you nodded with an annoyed look. “What does he want? I thought you stopped texting?”

“He just keeps messaging me every day” you said, and explained everything to your friend. She seemed to enjoy this and laughed at some messages, as you showed them to her. Once your phone buzzed again, she couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud. “So you guys know your names already? No Strangers anymore?” she giggled and you checked the recent message.

[phone]:   Stop it with the stranger already. We are on a first name base!

“The Problem is, he keeps texting me. You saw my answers and he doesn’t care. Its as if he didn’t get the hints in the beginning, even though I’ve been straightforward. So I think I got used to this at some point…”, you ranted, as you typed in a reply. Your best friend smiled throughout your whole exclamation. “Maybe he has fun writing with you. Who knows what kind of guy he is. Maybe he’s really nice?”

“Or maybe still an old ass pedo that’ll try to kidnap me if I don’t stay alert.” Y/F laughed heartily at your words and you couldn’t help but smile.

You: I don’t care.

[phone]:   Well, I did.

And I saved it as ‘Smol Sarcastic Bean’

I think it suits you

You: omg

You actually smiled at the nickname and decided, to save his number as well. You laughed lightly, as you typed in his name. ‘Not Tom Hardy :(’

Y/F was looking at you curiously and you showed her the screen once again. “Oh my God. Just imagine texting with Tom Hardy. That’d be something I’d wish for”, Y/F said with a dreamy voice. “I bet he wouldn’t text the way this Tom does”, you smirked and took another sip of your drink.  “What if this Tom was another Celeb? There are quite a few with that name. Tom Cruise. Tom Hiddleston. Tom Felton.”

“Tom Hanks or Thomas Brodie Sangster!” You both laughed and giggled and started to chat about the idea of ‘Tom’ being someone Famous. If you only knew.

You: Okay, saved it. Now leave me alone I have stuff to do

[phone]:   but I’m bored

You: Seriously Tom. I’m gonna block your number if you don’t stop.

[phone]:   you wouldn’t!

You: watch me

[phone]:   If you wanted to, you’d have done it already!

You: Choke on air, Tom

[phone]:   I knew it hahaha

There was one thing you finally realized after saving up Tom’s number. You were able to see his profile picture he used on Whatsapp. You quickly checked your own one, just to make sure there was no face to be seen. You sighed in relief. You still had the picture of your neighbours cat, laying on top of your body on the bed as an Icon.

You checked out Tom’s profile. His status didn’t say anything except ‘Available’. And his Photo seemed to be from a photo shooting. Black and white and him wearing no shirt. He seemed to be fit and you felt your cheeks heat up a little at the sight of his torso. But you couldn’t see his face which annoyed you. How were you able to imagine his facial expressions,if you didn’t know his face in the first place. Asking for a selfie would’ve been to forthright so you hoped for him to post something in his status or leak his face on his icon someday. Who knew.

Crackmas 6.2

So, here is the actual Day 6 for Crackmas! I didn’t post one yesterday, so today you get two! This one is rated T just for strong language, but I hope you all enjoy some wisdom teeth shenanigans and a partial reveal. Aka Marinette.exe has stopped working. 

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 6.1

AO3

In hind sight, when Alya convinced her to volunteer to deliver Adrien his homework for the day since he had his wisdom teeth out, she expected it to be a quick visit. She didn’t expect Nathalie to leave a very drugged and delusional boy in her hands while she went to fill his prescriptions, and in her defense, for most people it would have proved a very simple task. Just watch him and make sure he didn’t fall down the stairs or something in his anesthesia-induced haze. But Marinette was beginning to realize that she wasn’t most people, and life had a way of shaking things up just for her. So as Chat Noir raced them through the city on a manhunt for Hawkmoth, she slowly accepted that her life would never truly be normal, but she supposed she should start from the beginning.

It all started when she rang the bell outside Adrien’s giant fortress of a house, and Nathalie answered. She expected a similar situation to the one encountered on his birthday, stick it in the mail box and leave, but to her surprise, Nathalie requested a favor and opened the gates. Cautiously, she approached the front door where Gabriel’s trusty assistant was waiting for her.

“I hate to ask this of you, but can you watch Adrien for a little while? I have to run to the store and pick up his prescriptions. He should just be sleeping, but if he wakes up, just put an ice pack on his face and make sure he doesn’t do anything,” She explained in a rush.

“Uh, okay?” Marinette nodded, and Nathalie seemed relieved as she unlocked the car parked in the lot and waved her inside.

“I’ll be back in an hour.”

An hour. What could go wrong in an hour?

Marinette felt a giddy grin creeping over her face as she climbed the stairs up to Adrien’s room. An hour alone with Adrien! Of course he would probably be sleeping the whole time, but she could admire his unconscious face. She bet he looked like an angel. Although she didn’t expect a response, she knocked a couple of times on the door before pushing it open and peering inside.

“Adrien?” She called, tiptoeing in.

She spotted a blond mop of hair on the bed, a small smile curling on her lips as she crept closer. His cheeks were a little swollen from the gauze shoved in them, but he was still the most handsome human on the face of the planet. Not even intensive oral surgery could make him look bad. Maybe he wasn’t human. She often described him as more god-like with how unnaturally pretty he was, and if she was being honest, she kind of hated him a little for it. In an envious and admiring way though.

Adrien shuffled a little and hugged his pillow tighter, and Marinette pressed a hand to her lips to stifle a giggle. It was probably weird, now that she thought about it, to watch someone sleeping, but she couldn’t pull her eyes away from him. She longed to reach out and touch that silky smooth hair of his, but she feared that doing so would wake him. And she really didn’t want to explain why she was creepily looming over him while he slept, let alone why she was stroking his hair. Then again…He was pretty heavily medicated, so maybe just a quick touch…

Hesitantly, she reached a hand out and brushed his bangs back from his face, daring to caress his cheek with the back of her finger. His skin was smooth and perfect and warm against her touch, and she could feel his breath tickling her flesh as he slumbered. But in an instant his eyes flew open, and she jerked back with a shriek.

“I’m so sorry! I was just – uh, Nathalie had to go to the store, and um, I wasn’t trying to-” She fumbled as Adrien shot forward and blinked at her a few times in confusion. His eyes widened, and he leaned forward to cup her cheeks in his hands, squishing them together with a pensive frown. “Adrien?”

“I nee ‘or ‘elp,” He mumbled around his gauze.

“Wha- Okay! What do you need? Water, ice, more gauze, soup, a loving girlfriend?” She listed, but he shook his head.

“No!” He snapped. “I nee your elp!”

“What can I do? What do you want? I’ll do anything!” She said, and he glanced around as if there could be anyone else in the room to over hear what he was about to tell her.

“I ‘aw Haw-moh,” He whispered.

“You what?” Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and Adrien rolled his eyes and leaned in closer.

“I s-aw Hawkmof!” He enunciated, albeit poorly, and Marinette pressed her lips together in a firm line.

“Oh yeah?” She said in amusement, pushing him back down gently. “What was he like?”

“Big,” Adrien said. “Scary.”

“I bet he was,” Marinette nodded in understanding. “Nathalie told me to put this ice pack on your face if you woke up. It’ll help the swelling, and your anesthesia should be wearing off soon, so just lay down and-”

“We ave t’ sto im, La-ybu,” He insisted, and Marinette shushed him.

“Uh-huh. You rest, and I’ll get right on that,” She patted his chest with a smile then turned to reach for the ice pack on his desk.

“Pla’ clawsss ou!” He punched the air clumsily, but it was enough to activate his ring.

“What the fuck?!” Marinette screeched as green light washed over the boy in the bed, replacing him with an all-too-familiar black-clad superhero. His eyes narrowed in on her.

“We have to go immediately, Ladybug,” He said, clutching her shoulders as she stared at him in shock.

“Holy shit this cannot be happening. You can’t be, no, no way!” She shook her head to clear it.

“Come with me,” He ordered. “I can’t defeat him without you, m’lady.”

“Okay, no. Adr-Chat-fuck! There is no Hawkmoth. You are on some seriously good medicine, and no, don’t pick me up!” She swore as he jumped out of bed and scooped her up over his shoulder.

“There’s no time. We have to hurry!” He said, reaching for his staff and leaping from the window as Marinette clung to him for dear life. Should she transform? What if Adrien remembered all this later? She couldn’t reveal her identity! Though the thought of falling from this height as a civilian made the option all the more tempting. It was just the drugs making him think she was Ladybug, and she wasn’t about to prove him right.

Nathalie was going to kill her. How the hell was she going to explain this? If she didn’t find a way to get Adrien back home soon then she’d get charged with kidnapping and thrown in prison, and when Adrien finally comes out of his haze, he won’t remember any of this, and she’ll forever be known as the person who abducted helpless Adrien Agreste after he got his wisdom teeth out. She needed a plan.

“Hey, uh, I think I saw Hawkmoth over there,” She said, pointing back in the direction they came from.

“He’s this way,” He said with a surety, and Marinette groaned a little as he continued to race across rooftops.

“Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I saw him over ther-”

“Shh!” He skidded to a stop and dropped into a crouch, setting her down and clamping a hand over her mouth. His eyes narrowed into a glare on a billboard across the way featuring an advertisement for the new insect exhibit at the museum. A bright blue butterfly took center stage on the image, and Chat was glaring daggers at it. “There he is.”

“Yeeeeah, let’s go get him,” Marinette said with a slight nod, and before she could stop him, Chat stood up and sprang across the gap with one hand raised.

“Cataclysm!” He called, raking his claws down the sign and turning it to a pile of ash. Marinette face palmed as he stood among the remnants with a triumphant beam. “I did it, m’lady!”

“Yep, you sure did, Chat. Now, let’s go home,” She called, gesticulating back in the direction they came from as Chat drunkenly hopped back over to her. He stumbled a little, falling into her arms, though he was a bit too heavy for her to hold up, so they crashed onto the roof where Chat gazed up at her giddily.

“Can I have a kiss?” He requested.

“Excuse me?”

“I beat Hawkmoth. You should kiss me,” He said matter-of-factly.

“Uh, maybe later,” She winced, as a tiny bit of blood trickled down his face. “You should get home.”

“Wait!” He whined, reaching a hand up to awkwardly touch her face. “I wanna tell you something.”

“What is it?” She asked, nervously glancing at the time. Nathalie would be home soon.

“I wanna tell you who I really am,” He said, brushing her cheek.

“Uhhh, go for it,” Marinette encouraged, and he closed his eyes as his last pad faded and reverted him back to normal.

“I’m Adrien Agreste,” He said with a hazy grin.

“Whaaat?” Marinette gasped overdramatically. “Chat, that’s amazing!”

“Mmmhmm,” His eyelids drooped a little, and his hand flopped back to his side. “I love you, Ladybug.”

She felt her face turn three shades of red as his eyes rolled back into his head, and he passed out in her arms. Adrien was in love with Ladybug. But Adrien was also Chat Noir. She pursed her lips in thought then shook herself. There was no time to think about it. She had to get Adrien home. Fast.

“Tikki, spots on!”

When Nathalie arrived back home, Marinette sat casually in Adrien’s computer chair, anxiously twiddling her thumbs. Adrien was sprawled out in bed snoring, not a single hair out of place, and there was no evidence to suggest that they’d ever left the house.

“I’m back!” Nathalie announced, peaking into the room. “Thank you for doing this. I know it probably wasn’t very exciting.”

“No, no, it was…fine,” Marinette cast a sidelong glance at Adrien then flicked her gaze back to Nathalie with a smile. “I’m happy to help, and nothing interesting at all happened. He just slept the whole time.”

“Good,” Nathalie relaxed a little. “And thank you again for delivering his homework.”

“Mmhmm,” Marinette nodded before casually strolling back down the stairs and out the door. She wore a poker face all the way back to her house and up to her room before she calmly picked up a pillow and pressed it over her face.

“AdrienisChatNoirholyfuckingfuckfuckfuck!”

Second Chance Part 11 (IM RP)

Shunichiro Tachibana 

[ Free Saturday night? I need someone to accompany me to a product launch and everyone else I know is free. ]

I should have waited till morning to read this or at the office with coffee in hand and no one around. Covering my face and shutting my eyes for a few long seconds before I turn to watch Sachi again, how is she always so peaceful?

My head could not work out what it is that Midori wants- a date? I went. Something more, been there done that and backfired. She avoided me and I played along. She came back to apologize, I aceepted it then she kissed me on the cheek like we had never broken up.

I am far too old for the chase, yes the bachelor’s life has given me all kind of freedom and flexibility but I by no means enjoy any of it. Who am I to blame her while I’m the one who has another girl naked in my bed? Do we have the time and luxury to dance around till we figure out what our heart truly desire? Sachi deserves a better man and so does Midori.

The product launch isn’t my concern but what it implies if I say yes and go with her. What is she hoping for? Does she want me to go or is she making an excuse? I move a step forward she takes the opposite, I follow her lead then she spins around and surprises me. I used to love that about her, always knocking my socks off and made me laugh till work consumes me and all it’s left was the dull and predictable conversation.

Resting on my allow as I stroke Sachi’s hair gently, I want simple, someone to lay next to me, laugh and share with me, love me and be there for me. With that in mind, I reply Midi and pull Sachi close to me, inhaling her sweet scent before my eyelids feel heavy and drift off in hope that I’ve made the right decision.

[ Okay, send me the details. ]

Midori Katayani 

*A few days later*

Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world – I wasn’t sure exactly who that quote was said by, yet right now, it’s how I felt; only problem being, I couldn’t find the lipstick I was after. It had been an overdramatic race against time for this launch party to come – for Saturday night to arrive – in between the one and only response I’d gotten back from Shunichiro saying that he’d been here I was caught up in a web of overtime, lack of sleep, every single staffing issue possible to happen and of course near forgetting that tonight was even happening at all.

Rummaging through the make up bag on the bedside table of the suite I’d booked for the night, I let out a long groan like sigh.

[7pm, Oriental Mandarin Hotel. I’ll be in room 1609. See you then.]

The text I’d message through days ago was still running as if freshly embedded in the front of my mind. A nervous twitch washed over me for the third possibly fourth time tonight wondering whether or not Shunichiro would make it – and my mind was making excuses incase of a let down - perhaps work would come up or he’d find a better commitment to attend to or maybe, just maybe; he’d forget and I’d have to show up alone; but no… I couldn’t think like that, I shouldn’t have been thinking like that. The way that I saw it, tonight was the last and only chance I had left to show, tell, act upon how I was feeling, how I had felt, how he made me feel– and get everything sorted between us, even if it ended not the way I wanted or would have preferred it planned.

Playing with my wrist at where my watch would usually be, instead there a small silver bangle that I was still getting use to wearing, I finally came across the perfect shade, pulling the tube out and taking off the cap to only be disappointed at there not being much left. Darn – it was my ‘lucky’ lipstick in the most gorgeous cherry shade I’d ever laid my eyes on and years ago, I’d brought it on a whim for our first date. It’d had been discontinued now – the brand become defunct but it had lasted me for years – I promised myself I’d only wear it on special occasions: birthdays, award nights, anniversaries, perhaps even our wedding day if we ever got there.

Tucking some loose hair I’d curled neatly behind one ear, I painted the lip stick on in one clean swoop and put it away, quick to last but not least slip into the little black cocktail dress I’d decided on wearing; again, just by pure coincidence what I’d also worn to my first date with Shun – surprised that I still even fitted into the thing. The alarm-clock on the dresser opposite the bed read 6.57pm. I wanted to break out into a sweat but I knew that it would just be a waste of all the effort that I’d put in. 3 minutes – he still had 3 minutes.

Stepping into a pair of heels and dropping back against the bed, I reached over to grab my phone which was resting on top of  a pillow and checked my emails and texts one last time before giving up and laughing at myself.

[7pm, Oriental Mandarin Hotel. I’ll be in room 1609. See you then.]

That damn message had gotten the better of me again. Why had I booked a suite? Was I expecting something to happen? Was I wanting something to occur? Perhaps we’d come back here after the party – after we’d had a drink or two – things could get interesting for the wrong or for the right reasons. Oh c’mon now Midori.. pull yourself together, you booked a suite because the walk of shame after a half dozen glasses of champagne was less embarrassing to a suite rather than a cab parked outside where the world could see you.

Tossing the phone across the other side of the bed, I rolled onto one side; catching a glimpse in the mirror of how I looked. My reflection - not too bad. The lipstick colour had been a perfect choice. The dress? Mhm… I wonder if he’d remember the significance? I sure remembered our first date; how could I forget – I could remember if as if it was just yesterday. I remember the awkwardness between us that vanished within minutes of being together. I remember the smell of the cologne he wore and how it perfectly complimented by sheer coincidence my perfume. I remember being self conscious of being walked up to my front door at the end of the night. I remember the ways he’d made me laugh and I remember not wanting Shun to leave. The feeling of all this was overwhelming – no other guy had gotten even close; not that I think I’d ever want someone else to.

I could feel the beginning of a racing heart beat.

Deciding to get up and walk around the room instead as a change of pace; I started getting antsy.

Part 1 ✧ Part 2 ✧ Part 3 ✧ Part 5

A/N: yo i finally had the time to finish this. I worked on this from when i got home from school till now (thats from like 2ish to 8ish w o w) i tried to make it as long as i could (my brain can only think of so much im sorry its not longer) but here yah gooo 

“Thank you Dowoon.” We were now in my bedroom after he had ran all the way here with me on his back. He was pacing around my room, pausing once in a while to look at my condition. He only hummed in response. “He said that he never wanted to do that bet, you know.” I say softly. He stops and glares at me, but mostly at what I said. “What?” He said sharply. I looked up from looking at my hands. “He said-” “Yeah I know what you said, he’s still a fucking asshole. Who kisses a girl against her will?” He came and sat down beside me on the edge of the bed.

I didn’t know what to feel anymore. Jaebum, the man who I thought hated me, the man who I loved tore my heart in half, just kissed me and confessed his feelings for me. It felt like I was dreaming, like I didn’t know what was right or wrong anymore. Dowoon was furiously tapping his foot up and down with his head in his hands. “I can’t just sit here when my best friend just basically got raped by her high school crush.” He stood up and started making his way to door. “Dowoon! He did not rape me, he just kissed me.” I said angrily. 

“Yeah, against your will.” He turned around and pointed at me. I rolled my eyes at his overdramatic ness. I put my hands on his shoulders to try and calm him down. “Dowoon look, I get that you’re mad but just try and calm down a little bit okay?” He looked at me like I had just grown three heads. “What’s gotten into you? You were mad at me two days ago for taking your lunch without asking, but you’re not mad about this?” 

“I’m just, confused.”    

I didn’t go to work the next day. My co-workers kept calling me but I didn’t want to deal with their worrying or scolding right now. They sent me texts, telling me that Jaebum was acting weird and they were asking me what we talked about yesterday when we were alone in the room. I didn’t bother answering those either. Dowoon never called me that day either. What if he does something to Jaebum? I shook my head from the thought. Why should I care?

I sat for a little bit more, thinking about yesterday. Maybe I should go today. I looked at my phone and saw that it was around 10 o’clock, work started at 9:30. I sat and thought about it for a bit. 

Fuck it. 

“I’m here guys! Sorry I’m late I was just.” I pause thinking of a lie. “A little sick.” They all looked at me then at each other but then went work. I went to my area and started putting my things on like I do every time. The short red haired girl came up to me and just stood beside me, not saying anything for a second. 

“Can I help you?” I asked. Everyone said that this girl barely talked to anyone, no one had her number or anything and she was always at work and always on time, here before anyone else was. “Are you pregnant?” She asked suddenly. My eyes widened and I felt like they were going to pop out of their socket. “Excuse me?!” She just nodded then started walking away, back to her own area. Why did she ask me that? What’s her problem? 

Just then the manager ran into the room, getting everyone’s attention immediately. “Everyone may I have your attention! You have the rest of the day off today!” He said loudly and everyone sighed happily. “Why do we have the rest of the day off?” I asked softly. The manager looked at me and gave me a serious look. “Jaebum was hurt badly by one of the younger debuts.” He stated. Everyone gasped and started whispering. “W-who was it?” Another girl asked. The manager sighed again and rubbed the back of his neck. “His name is Yoon Dowoon.” 

I gasped loudly and everyone looked at me. “Y/n is something wrong?” One said. “Wait aren’t you friends with him? I hear you talk on the phone with him sometimes.” Another says. I didn’t care to answer their questions right now. “How, h-how badly is he hurt?” I asked hesitantly. He looked at me then shook his head. “I’m sorry I can’t tell you that, but just know that it was severe enough that he has to be in the hospital. So you can all go home since there is no more work to be done.” He nods his head then walks out leaving everyone in the room stunned. Everyone immediately started talking to each other, trying to guess what happened. 

What did Dowoon do? How bad did he hurt him? All these thoughts I didn’t have the answer too kept flying into my head. Could Dowoon do such a thing? Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Yeah, Dowoon wouldn’t do that to someone. I decided to call him instead of assuming things to make me feel better. Ater about the third ring he picked up and by now I was the only one left in the room, everyone else has left. 

“Hello? Y/n?” He said. His voice was a little shaky and sort of raspy. “Dowoon please tell me you didn’t hurt Jaebum.” I pleaded desperately. He didn’t answer right away, making me twice as nervous as before. “Dowoon please I swear, I told you not to do anything!” I raised my voice as I started pacing around in the small room, something I do when I’m nervous. “Y/n, I’m sorry. I just wasn’t thinking and I was so mad and-” 

“Dowoon I can’t believe you! He didn’t do anything!” I yelled even louder than before, making my voice echo slightly. I was scared, nervous and mad. All I could think about was how we we’re going to get out of this situation and how mad I was at Dowoon. I stopped pacing and swept my open hand through my hair. I hated myself for being worried about Jaebum and how he was holding up. What if Dowoon did something really bad? The manager had said it was severe. “I’m sorry Y/n, how can I make it up to you? Please.” I shook my head, even though he couldn’t see me. “Dowoon can we just leave each other alone for a little bit. Just after all of this ends.” 

I heard him sadly sigh over the phone, giving a small ‘okay’ then ending the call, not even saying goodbye. I put my phone in my back pocket and then sat down in one of the chairs putting my head in my hands, thinking over everything that has happened over the time I had started working here. The 7 boys who had bullied me in high school, I now do their makeup. Jaebum, the man who did hate me had kissed me then the next day my best friend for 5 years had maybe almost killed him. 

I leaned back into my chair and groaned loudly. Maybe I should go visit Jaebum. He might have no visitors, and I don’t know what hospital he’s in. I kept thinking, debating if I should give the effort to look for him or just wait for the news. I got up from the chair and made my way to the door, opening it then walking out. I was met with a dark hallway, only a few lights were on and there were about five people walking around. Man this place clears out quick. I kept walking down the hall and wondered if I should ask one of these people where Jaebum is staying, but I thought that would be suspicious. I just watched as the people rushed by me into other rooms then coming out with papers. I heard music playing in some of the rooms and guessed it was other groups or solo people. 

I made it to the elevator and waited for the signal that I could get on. It finally dinged and I traveled into the small space with my head down and pressed the button for the bottom floor. The doors closed and the elevator jerked downwards giving me a weird feeling in my stomach. I stood there silently as soft elevator played, thinking to myself. I tend to do that a lot now, thinking about how I’m going to fix everything I seemed to mess up. Why I was ever so stupid to believe the things people told me. 

“Excuse me, ma'am?” 

I whipped my head to the side to see a very nice young looking man with light brown hair and tan ish skin. I could tell he was American or Canadian from his eyes and body structure, also how his skin wasn’t as pale. He was decently good looking with blue-ish grey eyes. He was wearing just a simple white t-shirt and jeans with a black toque on. “U-um yes?” He motioned his head towards the door then smiled, showing off his perfectly white straight teeth. I looked towards the door to see that it was open again. “Oh yes, sorry I was just thinking.” He nodded and let me get out first and then followed me out. We were awkwardly walking side by side to the front door until he decided to speak up. “My names Luke.” He outstretched his hand for me to shake it. I shook his hand, smiling and then introducing myself also. “I’m Y/n.” Luke smiled as he retreated his hand back to his side.

“That’s a pretty name.” I looked down so he wouldn’t catch my blushing face as I played with my fingers and thanked him softly. “So, what do you do here?” He asked as he started to continue walking. I looked up and quickened my pace, trying to catch up with him. “Oh I’m a stylist for the group Got7.” He hummed in response but didn’t say anything afterwards about what he did. 

“What do you do?” I looked up at him, waiting for his answer. Boy was he tall. I was guessing he must be at least 6 feet, or it seems like it to me because of my short height. He looked down and smiled, catching my staring I immediately turned my head so I was looking ahead. He chuckled softly. “I’m just a boring old studio manager.” I scoffed. “Studio managers aren’t boring, you have a pretty stressful job. I would say.” He pondered my comment for awhile. “I guess you’re right.” 

We made it too the front doors and I was about to bid goodbye when he stopped me. “Wait, can I have your number? You seem nice and I really want to get to know you.” He got quieter at the end of his sentence, seeming like he was shy. I giggled and nodded, asking for his phone so I could put my number in. 

Once we exchanged numbers, we went our separate ways. I didn’t catch the glance he made my way when I was turning around.                                                              

“Dowoon I said I needed some time to think about everything.” Dowoon had tried calling me and talking to me everyday after the incident. It had been almost a week and he was still trying. Jaebum still wasn’t back from the hospital but there was rumor that he was coming back tomorrow. Since there was nothing to do, we were temporarily moved to Dowoon’s group until jaebum gets better. 

Dowoon still didn’t give up, holding my shoulders do I wouldn’t escape from him. “Y/n please, I miss my best friend.” A hint of desperation was in his voice, his hands tightening their grip on my shoulders. “Dowoon I’m right in front of you, it’s not like I’m dead. I just need time.” I simply stated. I softly moved his arms from my shoulders and walked back to my station as he sadly stared at my back as I walked away. 

Jaebum was finally out of the hospital and he looked like he was just ran over by 12 buses. His hair was tethered and some of the dye has faded. He had some cuts on his face and bruises on his arms. Everyone in the room gasped at his appearance. He slowly trailed into the room and sat down at my chair, his expression appearing to be angry. I guess when your stylist's best friend attacks you right after you kissed them, I would be mad too.

 He didn’t acknowledge me at all. He just stared into the mirror, wincing at his appearance. “Jae-Jaebum are you alright?” I asked hesitantly just as I was picking up the foundation to cover up his scars. He didn’t answer. Only closing his eyes and loudly sighing. I softly started to apply the foundation without his permission anyway, presuming he just wanted a natural look as he normally did. 

He never stopped me. I almost thought he was sleeping but he moved my hand once in awhile if I ever hit one of his cuts to hard. I stopped suddenly but he didn’t react. As much as I hate to say it, I was worried about him. What happened to him? Why is he acting like this?

“Jaebum, can we talk for a second?” He opened one eye. It felt like he was trying to find out what I was implying but when he nodded and got up I’m guessing he couldn’t figure out what I wanted to talk about. He led me out of the small room and turned down the hallway. He looked for a room as I followed him. He suddenly turned and lead me into a smaller room than the one before. It was slightly bigger than a janitor’s closet but smaller than a studio room. 

“Why are we in here?” I asked while looking around in the room. There was barely anything in it, just a few boxes and some mic stands. He glanced at me before leaning on the wall. “It’s a small secluded place, soundproof too. No one will what we do in here.” He stated. I started to get nervous and I felt my face get hotter. He saw my face and started to chuckle. “What? Are you nervous about being alone in here with me?” I glared at him and shook my head. “What is this place anyway?” I smirked at me before sighing and looking around the plain room. 

“It’s going to be a room where we would go and just practice our vocals. It’s not quite ready yet.” 

He suddenly moved closer to me, almost pushing me against the wall but not quite. My eyes widened and I moved back on instinct. My back hit the wall and he smirked, moving closer. “Do I still have an effect on you? Even after all these years?” My heart was beating so fast I swear he could hear it. My face was so hot I blessed the gods that it was dark in here so he couldn’t see my tomato of a face. “J-Jaebum I came in here to talk to you.” 

He didn’t move from his position and ignored my comment. “Cause you still have an effect on me, you know.” I gulped as my face got even hotter, if that was possible. He leaned in even more, almost closing the small space between us. “Why don’t we have a proper kiss this time?” My senses came back after he said the word kiss. I lightly pushed him back and regained control over the situation as I was finally able to calm down. “That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Also what did Dowoon do to you?” 

His expression immediately got darker making me more nervous than before. I tried backing away but my back was already pressed against the wall. “I don’t want to talk about that.” He stayed in place just staring at the floor angrily. His breathing got louder and I got scared that he was either going to faint or angrily hit something or worse, me.

We stood in silence for a little bit. The only noise was our breathing and my fast heart beating. I debated whether or not to leave since everyone was probably wondering where we went by now and I didn’t want to cause a riot of people looking for the man that just got back from the hospital for being attacked by a person who worked here. “Jaebum I think we should leave now.” I quietly said, already walking to the door. He glanced up at me then to the door. He sighed then got up aiming for the door handle but the door suddenly opened and in walked Luke. 

He was surprised, looking from me to Jaebum with his eyebrow raised in a shocked positioning. He pointed from Jaebum to me “Am I interrupting something or?” I quickly shook my head while Jaebum just scoffed. “No! We were just talking.” Luke nodded his head slowly still looking at Jaebum. “Well are you guys done talking because I have to set up the room.” He moved past us and into the room, starting to take out mics from the boxes and putting them on the mic stands. “Um yes we’re leaving now. Let’s go Jaebum.” I grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room and I heard Luke chuckle softly.

“Who is that beach bum?” Jaebum said from behind me. I rolled my eyes. “He’s not a beach bum Jaebum, he works here. He’s a studio manager.” Jaebum scoffed at my answer. “I’ve never seen him before; and how do you know him?” I rolled my eyes once again. “I met him on the elevator; and what’s with all the questions?” He didn’t answer. 

We made it back to the room but no one questioned our disappearance, they were all doing the same thing as when we left. “I thought everyone would be flipping out because we were gone for so long.” I tailed off just thinking outloud. I looked around and made eye contact with the short red haired girl. She was doing Youngjae’s makeup. She caught my eye and gave me a sympathetic look then rubbed her stomach before turning back to continue with Youngjae. Did she just- Yah. I’m not pregnant you. I scoffed at her mentally then went to my station which Jaebum was already seated at, playing on his phone. 

“We didn’t get to talk about that kiss Jaebum.” He stopped playing in his phone, shutting it off before looking up at me from his spot in the chair. “What’s there to talk about? I kissed you and then your friend beat me up, even though you told him not too. He just couldn’t resist could he?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “How do you know I told him not to?” He swiveled around so he was facing me but still in the chair. “He told me while he was basically beating me up.” He got up and just stared at me not saying anything then smirked.

I looked away, not wanting to meet his piercing gaze. He grabbed my chin, making me look at him. He wasn’t smirking anymore, his eyes held something in them but i couldn’t quite figure out what it was. “You’re really beautiful, Y/n.” He said as soft as a whisper. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breath. He was so close to me that it reminded me of the first time he kissed me. I never thought of it but his kiss actually, felt good. “Jaebum there are people-” He put his finger on my lip making me stop talking.

“Can I please kiss you Y/n, without your friend interrupting us. I truly did love you. I can’t be more sorry for hurting you like that. If I could turn back time, I would’ve never agreed to that bet.”

His voice was so soft and soothing. I almost let him, wanting the feeling of his lips against mine again. I hated how I never moved on from him but I’m also grateful that didn’t, because I’m now standing in front of my high school crush, so close that if I moved even a little our lips would touch. “Y/n.” He said my name so softly, he said it with so much delicacy.

Before he could say or do anything else I moved forward and put my lips against his, for a slow and passionate kiss.

[starsocsideblog]

did u want to hear pointlessly long rambling about ocs.....this is the post for u

okay so studying is killing me atm so i decided to use some chill time to chatter about my ocs…my kids….because lbr this blog is a mess of assorted information

stuff under read more

context? i suck at plotting and also gonna dodge some spoilers for now so all u need to know is that the story is set in a futuristic sci fi/urban fantasy sort of world (with some of those sweet dystopic elements thrown in because i love dystopias, even ya ones, especially ya ones) in which magic is a thing which a few people have (is it genetics? is it prophecy? this is why i don’t have a plot yet) but its sort of rather illegal to use and have because either a. magic users have put people in danger in the past and/or b. there is a prophecy that claims magic users will revive an old aristocracy based society in which those with magic had absolute rule and it sucked for every else so there was a revolution and honestly? no one wants that back. it sucked. mostly magic users have their magic removed and their memories wiped so they can start anew in society (although with a few restrictions for a while)

the main four kiddos are a bunch of late teens/young adults (i’m thinking about 19/20?) that have teamed up for various reasons to do some of that sweet illegal magic stuff and maybe jumpstart a prophecy that dooms the world but that last bit was an accident, and accidents happen.

first up is stella shields, who technically dates back to one of the first ocs i ever made??? (she has definitely changed a lot tho haha) stella is the self-proclaimed leader of the group given that she has good leadership qualities and is confident and brave and also very tol and swol, so there skylar

she has no memories of her childhood and is fixated on finding her birth mother, who she believes was andromeda sparks, famed/disgraced figure in prophecy. stella has no magic and believes it was removed as a child, and has been adopted by a lovely but kind of sneaky lady called tamara. tamara studies prophecy and such which is how stella even guessed that in the first place (also because they look super similar).

stella is a deconstruction of a heroic stereotype - she’s tall, strong, and despite having no magic she fights just as well as (if not better than) most of the cast. she even has the fancy heir-style backstory to boot. unfortunately, during the story…things…happen which deplete her strength and she has to take a backseat to the action, which tears her up inside but also prompts her looking at herself without a heroic lens and seeing her flaws/how much unnecessary importance she places on her status as a hero and her heritage

besides being obsessed with the idea of being a hero like her mother was, stella kind of has an ongoing identity crisis which she fills up with fantasies of finding her mother and dumping traits she thinks a hero should have in place of her almost “blank slate” personality (which she’s pretty in denial about). her character arc is about her finally recognising the way that she fills in others’ traits as her own and her growing as her own person and aaaaaaaa i love to see my baby mature

next is lina taylor, the problematic fave™ and stella’s best friend since high school. I’m not gonna lie i love lina a lot because she’s probably the first character i started applying actual flaws and consequences - as in, not 100% forgivable and pure intentioned flaws like being ‘too selfless’ and stuff.

lina is paranoid to the point where it hurts not only herself but others, and tends to lash out when feeling pretty much any negative emotion - sometimes her caution pays off, other times it does even more damage. she’s deathly scared of being betrayed and thus hates anyone knowing too much about her, lies about herself incredibly often, and will attack anyone who tries to get close to her if she feels threatened. however, she is a quick thinker and will immediately take a fall for her loved ones if she thinks one of them is in danger.

is lina a magic user? technically spoilers (eh…like its pretty early on? not a big one?) but someone dies and in her panic she brings them back to life. sort of. mostly. in that yeah, their heart beats, but they’re kind of (unknowingly) a walking corpse. her magic is of the healing variety, but explaining how magic works is kind of complicated in a character post rn….maybe later. just know that that sort of magic is a one-off and no, she can’t bring people back to life willy nilly (or even fully back to life at all)

honestly i love her character development as well because she learns that hey, she kind of is a pretty toxic person and has to work to undevelop these traits and make up for the times she screws up. it makes everyone around her happier, but it also makes her so much happier too (which i think she does deserve)

next is skylar ashe, technically good person? best known for doing his best, skylar is far and beyond the best magic user in the cast (main characters and probably even secondary characters too) probably because he’s one of the few characters that indulges in the slightly illegal hobby. skylar is well spoken and clever, and one of those people who has stupidly high aspirations at all times. he and stella have a rivalry thing going on, and they’re very jealous of each other (although skylar never notices because his self esteem is so low he can’t comprehend someone admiring him. he needs a hug)

skylar for the most part is a sweetheart (#teammum) and is a nice person to be around but can also be a bit scary given that a. he is very very manipulative when he wants to be and b. his moral code is a bit worn down in places. he tends to over-rationalise his own behaviour when guilt becomes too apparent, and can come off as cold. rip don’t piss him off mostly

skylar is sort of??? essie’s adopted brotherish person (essie’s up next!!). his magic appeared when he was a really little kiddo but his parents didn’t want to turn him because he was like 6. and thus a pair of lawful goods decided to buck the law for a while (like 10 years, which is a p good effort i guess) but that went about as well as expected and skylar eventually runs away from home, and comes under the care of essie’s mums. this is partially why skylar gets so much of his self worth from magic because despite the fact that it kind of screwed up his family it’s one of the few things he’s good at - he spent years and years practising so he could bottle it up (btw his magic is illusion and telekinetically based)

listen just give this kid some history books and a quiet room and he will be the most happy ever, and probably give you a hug and buy you lunch. his heart is in the right place most of the time and he does try to act in altruistic ways. that whole self-rationalising thing gets challenged a LOT throughout the story likethetimeheaccidentallykilledsomeonebutdontworryaboutthat and honestly? boy learns that no, you don’t need magic abilities/fun illegal hobbies 2 b kewl. u just need to love urself xx

fINALLY IS ESSIE IM LOVE HER TBH. vanessa mayford, known gay, and also part of the magic squad made up of skylar and a few other characters. a dancer by day and the voice of reason™ by night. except she’s not really that great of a voice of reason per se given that her response to “is that illegal” is “did u mean a challenge"

essie is very extroverted and a bit (a lot) of an attention seeker - if she’s there she’s mostly in it for the thrills. even if she’s not the best with reasonable advice (see above) she’s a bit of a bleeding heart and will always give someone a hug and a pep talk if they need it. on one hand she’s got her super overdramatic flair going on but also on the other she’s occasionally chill?? like she’ll do dumb stuff just for fun but is also pretty much unfazed by anything. a dragon or something could be staring her in the face and she’d just be like “can i jump high enough to kick it in the nose”

alas, as is the way with many loud people, she has pretty low self confidence and relies on the validation of others to feel like she’s accomplished anything in her life (which is one reason why she’s always trying to get people’s attention). she feels very unfulfilled with how her life is going despite still being very young, and thus is driven by the fatal american need to have a pretty good time to do reckless things just for the adrenaline rush - everything is a performance for her. she also hates conflict within her own group of friends, and sometimes brushes things under the rug if she thinks it’ll cause a problem, electing to try to deal with it herself.

essie’s magic has been a bit fiddly given that the rules change depending on the rules of magic (which tend to change from setting to setting). her magic is atm shapeshifting but the rules of it are getting a bit confusing so I’m thinking about changing it a little bit. whatever her magic is, she cares the least about magic and thus while she has a lot of raw power she can’t be bothered training to increase it (if she did, she’d probably outrank skylar power-wise).

in conclusion? essie is a babe and im love her a lot. she’s the charming, gay and flirty gal that we all need in our lives and one of my fave characters to write tbh. wins awards for best dressed, most likely to succeed, best dancer (she’s a cheerleader btw) and probably also prom queen. i would vote for her. she would probably cry but that’s okay

so those are my children i love them and now i have to go back to studying my ass off bye

#if anyone reads this: im love you #also like again. now thats theres actual concrete info on these kids here please ask stuff i might reblog some oc ask memes here #not too many tho i dont want to clog up anyone's dash #oc: essie mayford #oc: stella shields #oc: skylar aveiro #oc: lina vieira #corona's textbook

Blue "Fuck yes. Is it spiked?"

Rosie winks at Blue and pulls a small bottle out of seemingly nowhere. "Not yet. Is anyone watching?"

Blue glances around and huddles closer. "Nope. Hit me."

Victoria straightens Cyrus' tie. "There now you have a straighter tie than my sexuality," she said jokingly, looking at the door. "I need pictures of this moment, mostly for blackmail, y'know with the whole actually dressing up."

Rosie "Think I can get away with spiking the whole bowl, or too early in the night?"

.L "Maybe wait until people have a chance for regular punch."

Caine "Yeah, I never will understand how you can do pointe but refuse to wear heels," He chuckled at her grossed out face and then let his vision move out to see who else was here. "Should we get a drink?" He asked Fizz.

Blue sighs. "Always the level-headed one," she says, putting her arm around L.

Cyrus groans when Victoria straightens his bowtie. "You're the worst," He claims and swats at her hands. "You know I only did this for you," He comments. "And you're lucky that I'm so photogenic or else I would be pissed that you're taking pictures," He chuckled and shook his head. "Should I pose?" He asks.

Rosie nods at L and just splits half the bottle between two cups, slipping the bottle away and filling the cups up the rest of the way with punch. "Here ya go."

.L smiles at the both of them and nods at Rosie's compromise.

Fizz "Definitely, you don't care that I'm not drinking tonight right? Alec and I made a pact that we wouldn't drink at the party tonight," she told him.

Victoria "We'll just take a selfie for my instagram," she said with a bright smile, before posing with him and taking a photo. "We should probably go in, get this party started."

Caine shook his head as if to say that her not drinking didn't bother him one bit. "Any reason for the pact? Or just not feeling like drinking tonight? Should I join your pact too?" He asks, curiously.

Cyrus "Okay," He agreed to the selfie and pouted with a big overdramatic frown when she took the picture. He laughed afterwards and then nodded. "Yeah, after all, we're the life of the party," He points out and then offers his arm out for Victoria to take. "Shall we?"

Fizz shrugged, "I just wasn't feelin' it tonight, I just asked Alec if he wanted to join. You can if you want just don't tempt me," she teased.

.Malia shows up incidentally with all of her siblings.

Victoria "Yeah, life of the party," she mumbled, thinking back to the campfire the other night, her face dropping but she covered it up with a smile. "This time we don't even need a spell to spice things up," she tried to joke.

.Parker feels fresh to death as he walks in and sees that he and his siblings are the Best Dressed there.

Alec wanders in while chattering away on their phone.

Vienna enters the scene with her siblings surrounding her and hasn't felt this put together in a long time.

Caine "No, I don't think I'll drink tonight either. I'll join your pact," He commented with a shrug too. "I don't need to drink to have fun. Let's see if the punch is still untouched and then find Alec?"

Kieran strolls in alongside the others, wearing his sexiest nonchalance.

.Parker: omf

.Parker: we all know u like romcoms kieran

.Malia looks around for her boyfriend and, when she doesn't see him, sticks to Parker's side.

Kieran: Malia: "u can be my bf ha ha jk i would never"

.Malia: i h8 u

Kieran does the same, flanking Parker's opposite side.

Cyrus laughed. "If you ever want to do a spell again though, maybe we should practice next time," He said looking over at her. "Or not, you know I'm always up for anything," He responded and then saw Rosie near the drinks and smirks. "We need to dance at one point tonight." He added.

Rosie chugs half of her drink and then spins around again. "Let's find trouble. Or people!"

Fizz "I highly doubt it, I mean how long have you been at camp," she joked, raising her eyebrows. "When isn't the punch spiked is the better question."

Kieran left the chat 6 minutes ago

Kieran joined the chat 6 minutes ago

Victoria "Oh, I'm not doing magic on anyone for a long long time."

Casey joined the chat 5 minutes ago

.Parker: fUCk

Caine "It's not even that deep into the night. If the punch is spiked this early on I will be shocked. I'd bet you, but I know you'd win somehow."

Cyrus "Well, you always can do magic on me. I won't get pissed like everyone else because I'm not a baby," He responded. "How long is a long long time? Because you can't not use your magic forever."

Jack joined the chat

Vienna is on the opposite side of Kieran and pulls out her phone and begins to text.

Fizz laughed. "I wouldn't win," she responded. "You're right, it is early. It'd be a useless bet. I've just been kind of out of it today, feels later than it is."

.Parker looks between Malia and Kieran and smiles at them both. "We all look great."

Victoria "It's not like I won't use magic, just not on like everyone at a party, at least until I have some more practice."

.L smiles. "People with trouble. Troublesome people."

Kieran grins. "Yeah, we do."

Caine "You totally would win!" He chimed back with a smile. "You win everything against me," He chuckled and then shrugged. "It's fine, I had a weird day today too. Anything in particular on your mind?" He asked as the arrived at the drinks table.

Kerri joined the chat

Fizz shook her head. "No, it's just an off day I think," she replied. "Come on, let's go get drinks."

Alec wanders over to the drinks table now, still on the phone.

Zoe walks into the ball, looking around for someone she knows. Seeing Caine, she grins and hurries over - as best as she can in heels, meeting him and Fizz at the drink table. "Wow, I can't believe I ran into you here." She giggles. "What a small world."

.L: ZOE IS SO CUTE

Zoe: ;aaaaa;

Caine runs into Zoe when he's at the drinks table and smiles widely. "Hey, Z," He greets her with a wave. "You look nice now that I see you all finished," He comments and pours a drink. He holds it out to Zoe. "Want one?"

Fizz sees Alec at the other side of the drink table. "Al!" she called out, shortening their name just naturally before waved him over. She smiled when Zoe hurried over. "Hey Zoe, you look amazing tonight as always."

Cyrus "All right," he nodded. "I understand," He said and then smiled, looking over at her. "The worst part of the night is that this is all inside so I can't smoke whenever I want and will have to leave. They do this just to fuck me over, you know." He pointed out to Victoria.

Alec grins at Fizz when she calls their name and waves enthusiastically before holding up a finger in a 'just a minute' gesture. "Gotta talk to you later honey bee, bye bye!" they say to their phone, making a kiss sound before hanging up and basically bouncing over to Fizz, Caine, and Zoe. "Yo!"

Zoe "Yes please!" She happily reaches out and takes the drink her brother offers her. Hearing both his and Fizz's compliments, she grinned. "Oh, thank you, both of you look fantastic!" She turns her head when Alec calls out, smiling and waving in greeting before taking a sip.

Victoria "Oh yeah," she replied with a roll of her eyes. "Because ever party planner in this camp just hates that you smoke and will do anything to plan a party around that," she said sarcastically. "At least you have me to go out and hang out with you."

.Chase: vic cast a spell so cyrus can smoke in his own bubble

.Chase: don't kill him in the process tho

.Chase: xoxo

Victoria: omg

Caine is still smiling when Alec joins them and flashes his teeth over at them too because he wants them to feel included. He even makes room in the little group they were standing in for Alec and Zoe. "Thank you!" He says to Zoe, taking the compliment. "I told Fizz we should match but we already had our outfits picked out before we got to talk to one another."

Vienna finishes texting and slips her phone back into her clutch. "We should have gotten a group photo before leaving the cabin, damn, why did I not think of that?" She looks at the siblings and then realizes that Malia would probably be the only one up for it and sighed.

Ariana enters, smelling of weed, and heads to the back of the room and takes a seat.

.Parker "It's better here because we can get someone else to take a picture of us, and then it's not at a weird angle," he says to Vienna.

Cyrus "I'm tellin' you! Chiron has it out against me," He pointed out, still smiling even as Victoria rolled her eyes. "That's true. What would I do without ya?" He asked and then heard the song change and grinned. "Wanna dance now? Or are you too sober?"

Rae feels very much at ease and excited, walking into the ball with Hazel next to her. "This was like, the most perfect timing ever. I'm so glad you get to be here for this."

Fizz "Thank you," she said to Zoe with a smile. She then blushed a little at Caine's matching comment. "Psh," she tried to pull off as if they haven't made a mistake, "matchings overrated."

Victoria "Be lonely outside," she replied with a shrug and a smile. "Hey, I can dance sober," she said with a smile, throwing her shoes off already, taking Cyrus' hand, and dragging him to the dance floor.

Vienna "That's true," She chimed. "You'd be up for a group shot?" She asked Parker.

.Parker bobs his head and smooths his jacket out. "Yeah, especially when we all look this good."

Hazel walks in with Rae, arms linked. She let out a small laugh at her best friends comment and excitement. "I'd be lying if I said I was expecting a ball while I was here." She looks over at Rae with her eyes narrowed, playfully. "You did not mention this on facetime."

Alec "You guys all look so cute!" they exclaim.

Rosie points at L totally on time. "Yes! People who are trouble."

.L bites her lip as she smiles at Rosie. "We have to find another you."

Rae raises her free hand innocently, "Hey, I totally forgot this was even happening, we're lucky I even had stuff for us to wear."

Cyrus is now on the dance floor with Victoria and he's just bopping along to the music and having a great time tbh.

Caine pours another drink and offers it to Alec. "Thanks, you too," He compliments and then hands out the cup. "Want to take a sip of this and see if it's spiked?" He asks.

Alec beams at Caine and takes the drink. "Okay!" they say easily and take a sip, considering for a second before shaking their head. "Nah, it's not."

Zoe eyes widened a bit when Caine mentioned it being spiked, slowly lowering the cup from her lips. "I can say I don't think it is yet." She smiles at Alec again. "Thanks, you do too!"

Rosie laughs loudly. "You flatter me! Where are my sibs?"

Vienna "Great!" She clapped her hands together. "Now we just need someone to take it." She began looking around.

Miranda walks in as if Rosie summoned her.

Victoria dances with Cyrus, twirling and just having fun yay.

Hazel rolls her eyes, smiling. "I'm sorry, am I suppose to be surprised you had two dresses just laying around somewhere in your closet?"

Fizz "You already saw me," she said to her sibling. "But you also look amazing."

Keaton walked in the door, his arm around Rory's waist. "Wow, there's so many people here already," he commented.

Rosie waves her free arm in the air to try and catch Miranda's attention.

Rae "Um, half of my closet is Lilly Pulitzer dresses, okay? If I was that sneaky I would've convinced Wyatt to get down here by now too." She laughs.

Kieran has settled by the drinks and is sipping something bubbly and non-alcoholic.

Alec spins in a circle and does a mini bow. "Thank! Especially to you, Fizzy, never seen me in these clothes before, eh?"

.Malia: wow kieran we're trying to take a family photo

.Parker: kieran can take them

.Parker: "this is for saying u aren't our brother. cheese!"

.Malia: omfg mal would do it if she wasn't trying to make nice

Rory looks around, her arm resting on Keaton's back. "Oh wow, way more than expected honestly."

Miranda sees Rosie and lifts a hand to wiggle her fingers, moving around people to slide up to Rosie and company. "Why hello there, hottie."

Miranda: hotties* sorry

.L greets Miranda with "You look so pretty!"

Rosie strikes a pose, and then takes off her hat and holds it to her chest. "Miranda, we are so lucky being hot as fuck runs in our family."

Hazel "Again, should I be surprised?" She sighs a bit when Rae mentions Wyatt. "I was going to try and see if we could come down here together or something but we were both way too busy with tests to even think about it."

Kieran: omf

Kieran returns with a drink in hand.

Caine pours another drink and hands it to Fizz and then pours one finally for himself. He sips it happily.

Kieran: fixed it

.Chase: o chase can take their pic

.Chase pulls up alone bc he has no friends and walks past the Aprodite cabin looking subpar next to them.

Fizz takes the drink with a smile before taking a drink. "Oh me?" she joked to her sibling. "I've never seen you like that before, must be thinking of another Fizz."

Rae shrugs and waves it off, because, lbr, she talks to him everyday, "It's all good, he's home for break and definitely needs it. Meanwhile, you and I get to party like old times."

Miranda winks at L as a thank you for the compliment, before dramatically flipping her hair over her shoulder at Rosie. "Better fucking believe it does, chica." She looks at the others. "All of you look fab by the way."

.Malia "Chase!" Malia grabs his hand and kisses him on the cheek. "My secret favorite Morpheus boy. Can you take our picture?"

Casey walks in with Jack, who is borrowing his clothes.

Macey joined the chat 8 seconds ago

Rosie drains the rest of her drink and lowers her cup, trying to be subtle about pulling the bottle out of the bag under her skirt and pouring more into the cup. "Everyone looks pretty sick tonight. Can't beat my cape– Oh!" Coming to a realization, she just hides the bottle under her cape as she pours more.

.Chase laughs and grins widely at Malia. "Okay, but you can't tell Jesse that I'm your favourite. Unless he's mean to me tonight."

Laurel joined the chat

Vienna is happy that Malia knows literally everybody and grabbed Chase to take their picture.

Alec "I've never had to stumble back to Tyche cabin drunk, but y'know, I was thinking, it'd be easy, eh? With all the lights and stuff."

Hazel grins. "You have no idea how little of my semester was spent at any form of party that didn't involve textbooks. So, we are definitely doing that."

Miranda eyes the bottle Rosie is attempting to hide and moves around them to grab a cup and holds it out to her sister. "Don't tease me, Ro. Share the liquid wealth."

Rae puts a hand over her heart and groans, "Laaady, someday you'll come visit me at some big-ass southern school and you'll come to all the sorority parties. But for now this will have to do."

Caine "I've stumbled back drunk to the Tyche cabin before," He confesses. "It's pretty easy to find, yeah," He chuckles. "Me and Fizz have lots of stories." he grins and takes a sip.

Zoe just stands there, sipping from her cup because lol shes never been drunk

Fizz laughed at Caine. "I remember that, I slept on an extra bed that night because I made you fall asleep on mine because I didn't even want to attempt getting you back to your own cabin." She pointed to Alec, with one finger from her hand she was holding her cup with. "Hey you better not be stumbling back drunk, Imma smack you if you do, we made a pact."

Rosie snorts. "I would never hold back from you, sis." She takes the cup and pours some into it under her cape.

Hazel laughs, walking towards the drinks. "I am soo holding you up to that when that happens." She mock sighs. "Though I knew the freedom I was giving up when I declared my major, it was a major sacrifice."

Fizz: ^^ me when i took up biochem

Keaton "Yeah definitely," he replied back to Rory. "What do you want to do first, should we get drinks?"

Caine just smiles as Fizz rehashes that night and nods approvingly. He looks at Alec then. "Oh, yeah! The pact!" He chimed. "I joined the pact too, by the way."

Alec shakes their head vigorously. "Not tonight, Fizzy! Not a drop of alcohol will pass my lips. I'll be as not-buzzed as a dead bee."

Alec grins at Caine and holds out their fist. "Sweet!"

Rae "Yeah, someday when you walk on Mars it'll all be worth it." She gives a cheeky grin and guides them to the drinks.

Caine bumps Alec's fist with his own fist and grins while he does so.

.Malia "Oh, of course." She laughs and hands him her phone. "Okay, pose! Vienna next to me though."

Ellie walked in awkwardly, with a small bit of her lip, she stood on her tiptoes, being only in vans and 5', trying to see anyone she knew.

Macey walks into the ball late with Brent—to which no one should be surprised—looking and feeling like a golden goddess. Which is a change from the mess that has been her life lately. She grins, "This is like, my fave dance of the year, like, barely inching past Halloween."

Vienna "Yes, come here, babe," She comments and slips next to Malia and poses for the picture.

.Parker isn't sure which side to get on and ends up standing next to Vienna, hoping that Kieran will move to Malia's side.

.Chase takes her phone and waits for them to get settled.

Rory looks at Keaton, still pleased she doesn't have to look up in her heels. "Yeah sure." She sees the large mass by the drinks and leans a bit closer to him. "How many do you think are trying to spike the punch?"

Zoe tilts her head slightly. "What pact?"

Keaton "How many Hermes kids are there?" he asked, jokingly.

Laurel arrives with Kerrigan by her side. "Think Rae and Hazel left already?" She asks.

Macey: "scUSE YOU KEATON" - macey

Miranda: rUDE

Keaton: hES JOKING

Keaton: oH PLEASE

Keaton "and then add my sister."

Hazel laughs, bumping Rae with her hip lightly as they walked. "Talk to me in a year and we'll see about that, I might crack."

Kerri "Um, not sure, there's lots of people here. Besides knowing Rae, I'm sure they're in here somewhere."

Miranda glances around as Rosie spikes her drink, stopping as she catches sight of Macey and wolf whistles across the room.

Rory laughs. "Okay so then way too many."

Keaton "Some one needs to decide on who is spiking the punch, because somehow it always ends up just spiked by everyone."

Rosie looks over when Miranda whistles, and then rolls her eyes when she sees who it's to and goes back to pouring the drink.

.L: DAMN ROSIE

Keaton: omg rosie

Rory "You would think they have like a rotation or something at this point. I feel like that would be helpful."

Miranda: lol when you have no idea your sisters are fighitng

Rae "Girl, you're the one who wants to work at NASA and shit, you can always suffer for a business degree instead like I'll do, eventually."

Macey blows a kiss at Miranda.

Hazel rolls her eyes, unlinking arms with Rae to grab two cups, passing one to her best friend. "Oh please, like I would ever work a desk job. I'll take a hard pass on that."

Caine hears Zoe ask about the pact and raises his brows. "Oh, we just all made a pact that we weren't going to drink tonight. Well, it was Fizz and Alec's idea, I just hopped on the bandwagon." He explains.

Keaton "Would be smart," she said. "Is Amber coming? It's weird not seeing her at something like this."

Miranda waggles her eyebrows when Macey looks at her. She holds up her drink and wiggles it in the air, as if she can tempt her sister over. She bumps Rosie lightly once the bottle's hidden again. "Thanks, chica."

Rosie snaps her fingers at Miranda, but her mood has been killed. She doesn't bother adding punch to her cup, taking the shot straight, and then puts her cup down on the table and grabs Blue and L's arms. "Let's go start shit."

.L laughs and lets Rosie pull her wherever.

Rae "Hey, a business degree can get you more than a desk job, hun.

Rae: shit

Blue drains her cup and tosses it on the table. "Hell yeah."

Cyrus "Let's find Rosie or some shit? You wanna?" He asks Victoria, still dancing but slowing down.

Rory "I think so? She was off with Jesse last I checked, they probably lost track of time."

Victoria "Sure," she replied before seeing Macey, "Oh, there's Macey

Miranda laughs at Rosie. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do. I'll catch ya later." She gives her sister another wink before walking over to Macey. "Look at you looking all sexy and shit."

Rosie grins at both of them and puts her hands on her hips, looking around. "Where's Cyrus?"

Rae "Hey, a business degree can get you more than a desk job, hun." She takes the cup from Hazel in thanks, "Isn't this weird? To be talking about college in the middle of camp right now?"

Kieran sees what Parker does, breathes in, and stands beside Mal.

Cyrus sees Macey and waves at her. "I'm looking for Rosie though," He explains. "Macey's probably busy."

Macey: OUCH CYRUS

Victoria "Okay, I'm sure she's here somewhere," Victoria said, standing on her tip toes to look for the Hermes girl.

Rosie: DAMN CYRUS

Hazel thinks for a second before scrunching her nose. "A little, yeah. I didn't think about that until now."

Miranda: hermes kids: nah not macey

Miranda: miranda: mACEY

Miranda is clueless about everything

Kerri pointed to Rae and Hazel, to show Laurel. "Found them."

Rosie spots Cyrus and starts towards him, putting her hat back on her head. "Cyrus!" she calls out, louder than necessary, as per usual.

Keaton "Yeah, true, I mean it's not like they'll miss much, at least I hope so. Lately, the parties have been dramatic."

.Malia "Don't look so stiff," she comments to him under her breath, posing for the picture. "Chase take like, ten."

Jesse wanders in with his hands in his pockets, smiling to himself.

Kieran smiles and puts an arm around Malia, posing for the camera.

Avery skipped into the party, literally. Tripping and nearly falling on her face with her heels. She straightened up, patting down her dress, acting like she didn't just do that.

Cyrus "There she is!" He shouts loudly too and points at her so that Victoria can see too even though Rosie is heading straight toward them. He takes a few steps to meet her. "I was just looking for you." He grins.

.Chase laughs. "Pretend you like each other," he jokes and takes a bunch of pictures at once.

Ellie turned toward the door and saw Jesse. With a smile, she rushes over. "Oh thank Gods, I thought I'd have to just sit in a corner with cookies and avoid everyone."

.Chase may actually know abt the aphro cabin problems bc of Mal but who can pass up that joke lmao

Rae "Like, we're so ​old​? Look at us? When did this happen?"

Fizz "Yep, I wasn't feeling the alcohol tonight and Alec decided to join me," she added to Caine's statement totally on time.

Rosie smiles more at Ellie. "Hi!" He hears Avery trip beside him and turns, worried now even though he doesn't really know her. "Uh– you okay?"

Rosie: no

Jesse: smiles more at Ellie. "Hi!" He hears Avery trip beside him and turns, worried now even though he doesn't really know her. "Uh– you okay?"

Jesse: on

Jesse smiles more at Ellie. "Hi!" He hears Avery trip beside him and turns, worried now even though he doesn't really know her. "Uh– you okay?"

Jesse: it begins

Rory "Yeah I know, I'm kind of glad I forgot that the campfire was going on after hearing about it."

Victoria followed Cyrus.

Rosie is pulling L along behind her and expects Blue to follow as well. "Wanna help me liven up this party?" she says in greeting to her brother.

Macey gives Miranda a hug and takes Brent's hand again, "Um, you better be talking about yourself because ​damn​, you're lookin' flawless."

.L gives a little wave to Cyrus and Victoria with the hand that Rosie isn't holding.

Avery put her finger up to her mouth saying 'Shhhh' as she backed away from Jesse, heading for the drinks right away, nearly falling again.

.Malia waits for Chase to lower her phone before moving out of the line. "Thanks, cutie." She takes her phone and looks at the pictures. "Guys, we look so good!"

Avery: avery: is great at gymnastics, also avery: can't fucking walk in hells.

Avery: *heels

.Malia: hells, heels, same thing

Jesse watches her go to make sure she isn't going to die, and then turns back to Ellie. "Sorry, hey. How's it going?"

Ellie watched Avery and then looked back at Jesse, letting out a giggle. "I pretty much just walked in and went like straight to the corner. I found out maybe I should wear heels because being five foot also means you can't see over anyone's heads."

.Chase winks at Malia as he hands the phone back and walks over to his own siblings, grinning at Jesse when he's close enough. "Where were ​you​ all day?" He asks like he already knows.

Keaton "Wish, I forgot about it," he replied. "How about we go get a drink, the dance floor is kind of crowded right now.

Keaton: "

Jesse laughs at what Ellie says, and is about to reply when Chase comes up to him. He blushes. "Don't say it like ​that​."

Cyrus nods quickly. "Yes, please. I'll help in any way," He assures her. "Did you have something in mind?" He asks Rosie.

.Chase laughs when Jesse blushes and then nods at Ellie in greeting. "He was with ​Amber​."

.Chase is in middle school

Victoria "Liven up the party how?" she asked.

.Parker smiles as he looks through the pictures. "Damn. Let's have these framed."

Rosie wraps her cape around herself. "I think it's been long enough that we can spike the punch now. But after that, we gotta stir up ​drama​." She ignores Victoria, addressing it all to Cyrus.

Ellie "Oh," she said, looking to Jesse again. "What were you doing with Amber?"

Jesse "We made cookies," he says in reply to Ellie, though it's clearly directed towards Chase.

Ellie "And she didn't come?"

.Chase whispers, "That's code."

Alec spots another one of their friends and grins at Fizz. "I'll catch you later! Gotta fly!" They start making their way through the crowd to the gathering of Morpheus children.

Rosie flushes more. "They burned, so she's making more now." He shakes his head at Chase.

Rosie: noooo

Jesse flushes more. "They burned, so she's making more now." He shakes his head at Chase.

Ellie "How do you burn cookies? You just have to follow the recipe," she said before spotting Alec, walking straight toward them.

.Chase winks at Jesse. "I got you."

Cyrus "I'm living for this look, by the way, Rosie. This cape-thing or whatever you call it is epic," He compliments her, clearly distracted by the cape. "But, yes, let's spike the punch!" He claims with a grin. "And a ball without antics isn't a ball at all. People should know this by now." He chuckles.

Caine waves goodbye to Alec and then looks over at Fizz and then Zoe, smiling the whole time.

Jesse "We went for a walk while they were in the oven," he says, rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding looking at Chase. "Where's Mal?"

.Chase notices Alec walking over to them when Ellie does and has a second to decide how awful of a brother he's going to be tonight. "Alec!" He waves at them. "Don't they look cute tonight?" He says to Jesse and Ellie, but mostly Ellie.

Alec bounces up to Chase, Jesse, and Ellie and splits into a wide grin. "Greetings, pals!"

.Chase nods to where Mal and her siblings are. "Over there with the rest of her cabin. I took a picture for them."

Kieran looks over Parker's shoulder at the pictures and laughs. "They're not ​that​ good."

Ellie blushed at Chase's comment, giving him a slight glare before turning and smiling when Alec approached. "Hey Alec, enjoying the ball tonight?" she replied

Fizz "Wanna go dance?" she asked Caine and Zoe.

Brent joined the chat

Miranda is now the one to blow a kiss to her sister. "Thank you, beautiful. Rosie was just saying about how lucky we are hotness runs in the family." She looks over her sisters outfit and grins, looking over at Brent. "I'm pretty sure Pretty Boy here will agree with me if I say you have me beat, Mace."

Rosie swishes her cape now and strikes a pose like she's a superhero. "Thanks! I can't see a lot through the glasses, but, y'know, haute couture or whatever." She snaps her fingers and points at Cyrus. "Spiking punch, then antics. It'll be easy enough to find tension in this room."

.Chase grins widely at Ellie and then nods to Alec in greeting. "Sup?"

Zoe looks at Fizz and nodes her head happily. "Yeah, sure!"

Jesse spots Mal, but decides not to interrupt sibling time. He smiles and nods at Alec too.

.Malia "Shut up Kieran, they look cute." She deletes one picture that has a slight difference from the rest and favorites another one. "Okay, I'm gonna find my boyfriend now. Catch you later."

Alec holds out their fist to Chase. "You look sick tonight, I love the pants. And you two look great as well!" They beam at Ellie. "I'm having a blast!"

.Parker grins at Mal and Kieran because that's normal sibling bickering. "Have fun!"

Ellie smiled. "Thanks," she smiled. "You look amazing, also."

Rory nods her head, starting to walk over towards the drinks. "Sounds like a plan to me."

.Chase hits Alec's fist with his own and then strikes a pose. "These old things?" He laughs. "Thanks." He turns to Jesse. "Did you have flashbacks just then?"

Caine "Yeah, I'll go with you two," He agrees to joining them on the dancefloor and then finishes his drink and throws the cup away. "Let's go?" He asks, taking a few steps in the right direction.

Brent puts a hand to his chest. "You think I'm pretty?"

Victoria "Hey, um, Cyrus, I'm going to get some air, let you all to your antics," she replied.

Jesse laughs and rubs his temples with one hand. "Maybe a little." He looks over at Mal again and smiles when he sees she's done, lifting a hand to try and catch her attention.

Keaton "Okay, how long do you give it till drama starts?" he asked, mostly joking.

Macey laughs. "He is kinda pretty, I guess."

Cyrus gave Victoria a weird look and then shrugged. "All right, if you say so," He says to her and then looks back at Rosie. "You ready to head over to the punch?"

.Malia catches sight of Jesse and walks over to him. The heels put her at his height so she doesn't have to lift up on her toes to kiss him. "Hey good looking."

Alec doesn't get the joke but laughs anyway. They spread their arms when Ellie compliments them. "Thanks! Fizz helped me pick out clothes. I feel cool."

Ellie "Why would he have flashbacks?" Ellie asked Chase, with a smile totally on time oops

Hazel shakes her head. "Oh gods, don't even say that, just thinking that is weird enough." She takes a sip from her cup, grabbing Rae's hand and pulling her towards the dance floor. "I refuse to focus on this conversation."

Rosie also gives Victoria a weird look, but hers has a touch more contempt to it. "Totally!" she says to Cyrus, looking back at him with a grin and starting back towards the punch. "Hey, think I could get away with it if I taped liquor to the inside of my hat?"

Miranda winks at Brent. "Well you have to be at least a little pretty to be in this family. So congratulations."

Ellie laughed a little a Alec. "Well you certainly look very cool."

.Chase shakes his head at Ellie. "Just.. Mal's brother was really awkward with him once. It was funny."

Jesse smiles at Mal and rests a hand on the small of her back when she pulls away. "Hey. You look amazing." He doesn't even hear Ellie's question.

Rae "We're OLD, Hazel!" She laments with a dramatic flair, letting her pull them towards the dance floor.

Victoria walked away, heading outside to get some air, a small sad look on her face.

Rae is also totally joking

Brent "Y'know, I've been worried I wouldn't make the cut," he chuckles. "So I'm glad you approve."

Kieran takes a long drink of his beverage, wishing it was alcoholic, then turns to Parker. "I talked to her."

Brent: here's a question did macey tell miranda about julian

Brent: and brent

Macey: oh

Rory grins. "Hopefully after we leave."

Brent: getting it on

Macey: that's a good question

Miranda: [stares at macey]

Miranda: does miranda literally know nothing

.Chase: did brent tell macey abt them /getting it on/

Macey: not yet cc:

Miranda: whaT

Macey: but also....the gif chat hasn't been finished yet so

Brent: we'll see how this dash convo goes

Macey: could happen who knows

Brent: when i actually......... reply

Macey: [looks @ alli]

Hazel "Piss off with that talk, I'm not listening to it."

Keaton laughed. "Well, I've been told I needed a break from the forges," he joked, nudging her a little before pouring a cup of punch and handing it to Rory. "I'm almost done with what I've been working on though, I think I should be able to finish it after the dance."

Alec "Thanks! Everyone here is so hot, though, I'm not cool at all. I'm pretty warm." They laugh at their own joke.

Macey: regardless, by now they'd be okay so

Cyrus follows his sister in the direction of the punch and listens to her newest idea. He thinks for a moment. "Yeah, probably. When we put our minds to something, it'll sure to get done," He comments and then shrugs. "What do you have on you tonight?" He asks, wondering where she was keeping her alcohol.

.L oh on time followed after Victoria, giving Rosie a small salute as she went to go get some air as well.

Rosie wiggles her shoulders so her cape falls over her hand, which she uses to cover up the fact she's reaching under the side of her skirt. She pulls out two mini bottles of vodka. "Vodka," she says so she doesn't have to put them in the open.

Victoria leaned over the railing looking out at the sky, picking at the nail polish on her fingernails.

Miranda laughs. "I'll be sure to make you a trophy or something to make it official."

.Malia "Thanks," she said, kissing him again. "What did you do today?"

Macey "You probably have a better approval rating than I do." She shrugs, hoping the joke worked.

Macey: macey: is upset, macey: lets make a joke about it

Rory "Good, does that mean I'll finally be able to see my boyfriend without having to go looking for him through everything in there?" She raises an eyebrow at him, but it's clear that she's joking

Miranda looks at Macey, rolling her eyes and waving a hand. "Don't be dumd, Mace. You're always number one on the ratings."

.Chase laughs at Alec and raises his eyebrows at Jesse when Mal asks him the question.

.Chase: dumd

Rae laughs, "Fine, then I guess we're gonna have to move on to me asking about any new men in your life. I know there's gotta be some hot scientists over in the Ivy Leagues."

Ellie laughed at Alec's joke. woo totally on time

Jesse smiles more. "Not a lot. Amber and I were making cookies, that's why I was late, sorry. Oh! I went for a really nice walk, too."

Alec looks delighted when Chase and Ellie laugh.

Macey raises an eyebrow, "Have you talked to Rosie lately? Because I'm definitely not."

.L twists the charm on her necklace before walking out after Victoria. "Hey! Some party, huh?"

Hazel loses a little bit of pep that she had before. "Come on Rae, you know the answer to that. I'm not interested in that stuff right now."

.Chase smiles at how happy Alec looks at them laughing at their dumb joke and then makes a face, pointing at Alec's shirt. "Were you drinking anything earlier?"

.Malia eyes brighten a little tiny bit at the mention of Amber. "How's she doing?"

.Malia: mal: i love my bf

.Malia: mal: my bf is hanging out with his ex omg i ship it

Cyrus "Nice," He comments, approvingly. "Sure we should share with others? And not just keep it all to me and you?" He asks, slyly.

.Chase: i love her

Keaton laughed. "It's not even that much of a mess down there, we usually keep it clean so it not unsafe when walking in there," he replied, taking a cup of punch himself. "Yeah, soon you'll have me all to yourself and we can play monopoly till we can't keep our eyes open any longer, how about tomorrow, after I finish, we can head out to that board game cafe in the city again and play monopoly and have dinner? Sound like a date?"

Miranda "What kind of question is that? Of course I've talked to her, I was literally just with her before I came over he- wait, back the fuck up, excuse me?"

Rae "Hey, just needed to ask, as your best friend it's a required thing to do." She takes Hazel's hand and twirls her, "Lighten up, chickadee."

.Parker wOw responds to Kieran on time, "Really?" He looks excited. "What happened?'

Victoria looked around first before realizing L was talking to her. "Oh, uh, yeah. A bit crowded though," she said with a smile, trying to cover up some of her hurt.

Rosie "Hmm, tempting." She squints at the punch bowl. "But I still have rum left. And think about how much easier it'll be to stir shit up if people are drunK!"

Alec blinks, and then looks down at their shirt.

.L chews on her thumb nail and nods. "Yeah."

Hazel rolls her eyes, her smile coming back when Rae twirls her. "I know you are. It's still just weird for me, thats all."

Jesse gets a bit of a faraway expression. "Good, good. She's still making cookies, we burned the first ones." He blinks a couple times and focuses on her again. "What'd you do?"

.Chase slides his pointer finger up Alec's chest to their nose. "Ha!"

Victoria took out a flask from her purse, taking a drink of it. She holds it out for L. "Would you like some?"

Rory nods her head, smiling before stepping closer to him to give him a kiss. "Sounds like a great date."

.L blinked at the flask, not expecting it for some reason. "What's in it?"

Kieran shrugs. "I apologized. She accepted."

Keaton kissed Rory back. "Perfect, how's leaving at around three work for you?"

.Parker nods slowly. "Ah. You don't sound too happy about it?"

Macey makes one of those clenched smiles, "Oh, shit, I totally thought she would've talked to you. Whoops." She shrugs, glances at Brent, then returns to Miranda, "Apparently, I'm too mature and no fun anymore. Also, supposedly I care more about this one," She jabs a thumb at Brent, "Than you guys. So now she's ignoring me, it's great."

.Parker: i thought blue was kissing rory for a second i was like PLOT TWIST

Keaton: omg

Blue would totally kiss rory to be clear

Keaton: kEATON WOULD BE SO PISSED

Blue is not kissing rory tho :(

Rory winks at Blue

.Parker: C:

Blue blows kisses from across the room

Ellie laughed and shook her head at Chase. "Don't feel bad, he does that to pretty much everyone."

Kieran smirks. "Yeah, well. Neither was Malia." Kieran shrugs again. "I don't think she actually cared."

Cyrus "True, true, we'll save the rum for us and get everyone else drunk off the vodka," He said and nodded with a smile. "Will you do the honors?" He asked, motioning to the punch bowl. "I'll cover you."

Victoria "It's some white wine, I don't remember the kind."

Rory "Works great for me. Make sure you don't lose track of time though, you have a habit of doing that in there, Keat." she teased.

.Parker "Hm," he makes a face. "So it's the same as it was?"

Caine oh is dancing still with zoe and fizz probably idk

Keaton "I'll be at your door at 2:55, you have my word. If I'm not, you have every right to kill me if you'd like," he replied with a small smile.

Casey is dancing near Caine and Zoe and Fizz.

.Chase: [eyezooms keaton]

.L tilts her head from side to side and then nods, taking the flask. "Okay, thank you," she takes a sip, then hands it back to Victoria.

.Malia shrugs off her fangirling about Jember and sighs. "I hung out with my family? Which was ​so​ awkward."

Alec starts laughing. "Oh man! I can't believe I fell for that!"

Miranda stares at Macey for a minute, super confused, before opening her mouth again. "What. The. FUCK. How long has this shit been going on??? Cause no one fucking told me." She looks over at Brent, pointing a finger at him. "Probably a dumb question. Did you fucking know about it?"

Rosie "Hold out my cape for me like a curtain!" she suggests, but pours the vodka into the punch bowl before he has a chance.

Kieran "I don't know." Kieran looks around for Malia. "I'll try. It's up to her."

.Chase grins when Alec starts laughing and then winks at Ellie. "Only because everyone falls for it."

Jesse raises his eyebrows. "Was it okay? I know they keep showing up at our door."

Rory smiles. "Don't tempt me."

Brent: shit i had a reply written and didn't hit enTER

Brent: dammit

Macey: pull urself together

Rory: allison pls

Jack sits in the corner of the room, feeling awkward in Casey's too-big shirt and his own black skinny jeans.

Victoria takes another drink before putting it back in her purse. "Are you having fun?" she asked L.

Rae smiles, "But you're making progress! And all progress is good progress, I'm proud of you." She glances to where ever the ring used to be oh Hazel

.Parker "Hm," he repeats. "Maybe I'll talk to her?"

Zoe oh whoops yeah is dancing

Ariana is sitting somewhere near Jack.

.L shrugs. "Blue and Rosie are fun. What about you?"

Kieran "Please don't. She probably already thinks I only did it because of you."

Ellie "One day, I'm going to have something actually on my shirt and I won't believe you and I'll go around with this thing on my shirt because I though you were tricking me," she said.

Hazel sees Rae looking towards her hand and lets herself feel a weird sense of pride for it not being there. "Thank you, darling." She twirls Rae around, smiling a little brighter

.Parker frowns. "Okay."

Victoria "Cyrus is great, we came together today," she explained. "Makes the night less boring, y'know? But I figured he should have time with his sister." That was a lie, she was a bit annoyed but she was trying to ignore it.

.Chase laughs. "You mean like, right now?" He points at Ellie's shirt.

.Chase dress*

Macey "Literally only like, a few days." She says before Brent responds to Miranda's question.

Ellie shook her head, "Oh no, I'm not falling for it," she replied, with a smile.

.Chase shrugs. "Okay, that's gonna be pretty embarrassing though."

Alec laughs and glances down at Ellie's dress, and then stops. "Oh, actually, that might stain. You might wanna get that out."

.L nods at Victoria. "Yeah, but I don't think Rosie minds sharing him, if that's what you're worried about."

Cyrus "Ah!" He yelps as Rosie begins to pour and then takes her cape and holds it out like a curtain. He has a hard time not laughing and then drops it when she's done. "Perfect," He grins. "Should we taste taste it? And by that I just want to drink already," He groans and pours himself a glass and begins chugging it.

Kieran "She laughed at my comment earlier today. Maybe that's progress." Kieran finishes off his drink. "Or maybe not, because I'm fucking hilarious."

Ellie got super self conscious especially in front of Alec, she looked down quickly, terrified there was actually something on her dress.

.Chase brings his finger up to her nose, then holds his hand out to Alec for a high-five. "Amazing! We should be a team."

Fizz oh right is dancing haha and probs slayin it

Miranda "Why the fuck didn't you tell me though?" She looks around the room for her other siblings. "And don't worry, you're not the only one that's gonna hear this shit. Wait until I find the other two idiots."

Alec laughs and high fives Chase back. "You fell for it two seconds after saying you wouldn't!"

Brent "Uh, yes." he says on time

Brent: jfc sorry i am dropping the ball tonight

Brent: (((((get it))))))))

.L: the,,, ball

.L: i get it

Ellie blushed. "You guys ganged up on me, that so doesn't count! You got me paranoid!"

.L: they are at a ball

Ariana sees Jack and realizes that he seems just odd enough. She gets up and walks over to him. "Hey, you smoke?" She asks him.

Rosie pours herself a glass as well and starts chugging it because she has to beat him.

Jack smirks. "You could say that."

.Parker shrugs at Kieran and laughs. "Mal's petty enough to not laugh at someone if she hates them, so it probably is progress."

Victoria shrugged. "Oh, uh, no," she replied, almost too quick. "It just didn't seem like they needed more help, I wouldn't be doing anything anyway, it's fine."

Miranda hears Brent and points to him again, not even bothering to look in his direction. "You're lucky you're not a sibling, it makes you slightly off the hook."

Macey grabs Miranda, suddenly a little nervous and serious, "No, no, no. I'm giving Rosie a minute to chill out. I'm gonna talk to her soon."

Alec grins at Ellie. "It was funny! So what'd you two do today? How late do Morpheus kids sleep? Are you night owls because you sleep so late, or do you go to bed early too and just sleep more than the average human?"

Avery showed up near Macey, Miranda, and Brent. "Do you need a sibling of his? I'm free? Do you need me to beat him up?" she joked, trying to lighten their moods just looking at their faces when she showed up.

.Chase sticks his tongue out at Ellie. "It counts. I now have a sidekick."

Cyrus realizes that Rosie is chugging as well and he tries his hardest to finish before her.

Ellie looked to Chase. "I don't know Chase, do we sleep a lot?" she asked with a smile.

Ariana gives him a narrow-browed look. "I'm not talking about cigarettes." She hints.

Rosie almost chokes but powers through it and finishes her drink, looking over at him to see if she won, which she didn't. She refills her cup. "Wanna get fucked up tonight?"

.Malia laughs. "I need to tell them to cut that out. Um, yeah, it was fine. Weird but... yeah, I kind of enjoyed it."

.L nods slowly, and pauses for a moment. "Everything okay?"

Miranda was going to reply to Macey grabbing her, but stops and looks at Avery. She raises an eyebrow at the girl before looking back at Brent and Macey, daring them to say that she knew as well.

Victoria "Oh yeah, everything's dandy," she said smiling, lying through her teeth.

Jack laughs. "Neither am I." He stands up. "Are you offering?"

Macey immediately smiles at Avery, "Nah, Miranda was just giving us shit, we're good." She turns to look at her dress, "You look so adorable! I'm so here for the flower crown."

Kieran shakes his head, still smiling. "Great. It really is a new year."

Jesse smiles again. "Are you and them... okay now?"

Keaton "Oh come on, you wouldn't be able to kill me, you love me too much," he teased.

Brent wraps his arm around his sister. "Please, Avery. I'm still recovering from the last time," he joked.

.Chase grins at Ellie, then looks at Alec. "Well, our father is the god of dreams, not sleep, so I bet we sleep less than any child of Hypnos does, but since Morpheus is also a child of Hypnos, we do have that sleepy quality, right? Overall, I think that we can sleep more or less than the average human, but we sleep at odd times. Maybe it's related to how trippy your dreams get when your sleep schedule is off, and so we can never have a normal sleep schedule, so we always have exciting dreams. Or, maybe we all just sleep at weird times because we're so used to sleeping at weird times in the cabin." He shrugs

.Chase: my god

Avery "Thank you, thank you," she said with a smile. "You look absolutely dashing tonight, Macey, you all do." She leaned into her brother a smile and patted his chest lightly. "Yeah, don't you forget it," she joked.

Cyrus finishes his drink too but before Macey does. "Hah!" He claims and then refills his cup as well. "You know it," He chimes back at her. "How fucked up are we talking?"

Macey: freudian slip cyrus??????

Macey: do u feel bad abt something?????

Ashton: omg

Miranda catches on that Avery in fact does not know, and lets herself calm down a bit. She looks back at the younger girl. "He doesn't need to be beat up this time, but stand by on that, I might need your talents."

Cyrus: omg

Ellie laughed at Chase. "Sometimes we have adventures with each other in our dreams. Cas can pull off a great night hike in his dreams."

.Malia "I don't know, maybe? I think we're getting there." She smiled, maybe a little sadly. "Do you think the punch is spiked by now?"

.L blinks, not wanting to push Victoria. "Okay."

.Parker laughs and nods. "I think she'll come around. She actually hung out with us today, and we all showed up together."

Rosie takes a sip of her drink. "Not like, unable to stand and can't remember tonight the next morning. But a step below that."

.Parker: rosie is me

Victoria twiddles the necklace she shared with Cyrus in her fingers. "Okay, maybe not, I just don't what to make you feel uncomfortable," she admitted.

Alec nods along with everything Chase says. "Do you always lucid dream? Or sometimes are they just weird dreams? If you can travel into other people's dreams, does your dream have to start off lucid? Also, what if part of why you sleep so much in your cabin is just because it's really comfortable?"

.L presses her shoulder into her cheek as she shrugs. "I came out here."

Kieran nods. "That was lucky." Kieran looks around. "Do you think the punch has been spiked yet?"

Jesse looks genuinely pleased by this, if a little bit sad as well that Mal will probably soon be moving out. "There's two Hermes kids right beside it, so probably."

.Malia laughs. "Very true. Let's go."

Cyrus "Okay," He sips his drink too. "That's a decent amount of fucked up," He wonders something and then rubs at his nose. "Should we even suggest playing a game?" He asks. "Or should we just stir up drama in another way?"

.Chase smiles at Ellie and then nods at Alec. "I always know when I'm dreaming, but I can't always control the direction of the dream, especially if it's someone else's. I've actually accidentally traveled into other people's dreams, which is how me and my sister discovered we had the power in the first place, and I don't always know who's dream I'm going into, though I have a way better handle on it now." He laughs and then looks at Ellie. "Well, our cabin is basically a giant pillow fort."

Jesse holds out his arm for her with a smile. "To the punch bowl."

.Parker laughs and looks over at Rosie and Cyrus. "I think if it isn't, it's a miracle."

Rosie looks around at everyone. "Got anything in mind?"

Alec "Do all your powers work the same way? Or are they different between you?"

Brent scoffs in mock offense. "I'm hurt you think so lowly of me, Miranda."

Macey smiles, "I don't think anyone's gonna need to kick his ass any time soon."

Cyrus rubs his nose again. "Um, let me think," He looks around at everyone too. "Know of anyone who likes anyone? We could try and play matchmaker, that always ends in disaster." He grins.

Avery "Hey, I wouldn't be all high and mighty Brenny Brent, I don't need to be told by Miranda to beat you up," she joked.

Kieran "Great. I have a loaf of bread in my room and I'm past ready to get mildly intoxicated." He starts toward the drinks.

.Chase shrugs. "Me and my sister Koda have basically the same powers, and there's a lot of overlap, but they manifest in different ways, I'd say," he looks at Ellie for confirmation.

.Parker laughs and follows after Kieran. "Did you save the bread for this specifically?"

Rosie wrinkles her nose. "No one interesting that I care about. At least, not that I can think of." She continues looking around the room, and then spies two separate duos heading for their newly spiked punch bowl. "Yo, is Malia still fighting with her brothers?"

Alec looks to Ellie as well. "What can you do?"

.Malia takes his arm, kisses his cheek, and makes her way to the punch bowl.

Ellie nodded. "Yeah, I'm not very good at it. Well the dream travelling part," she said, "I can lucid dream. I started out having the boys come into my dreams but then I figured out how to go into other people's though I'm still terrible at it. But that's all I can do I believe. I'm still pretty new to this whole demigod thing so I'm still discovering things."

Kieran "Not specifically." Kieran cuts through the crowd. "Or maybe I did. I don't know the exact order of things."

Cyrus "Me neither," He sighs and then looks over at Rosie and then over at the duos heading their way. "Uh, I don't know? Maybe? Why? Is that head of yours scheming something good?" He asks.

Ariana answers Jack on time. "Yeah, I'm offering. Are you taking the offer?" She asks, putting a hand on her hip.

Victoria "It's just not surprising to me, Cyrus does this a lot. We plan to hang out and then he kind of ignores me and goes with Rosie instead."

.Parker snorts. "Well, it's either pretty lucky or a good idea."

Rosie rubs her hands together. "Just think about all the potential. Malia and her brothers. Parker and that dude Amber dated. Kieran and anyone."

.Parker: learn jesse's name rosie

.Malia: #LearnJessesName

Macey looks between Brent and his sister, in hopes of moving past her and Miranda's conversation, "Would either of you two lovely people like to dance with me? Or both of you."

Alec: she says she will when he does something interesting

Caine: laurel from the back: its christian y'all

Macey: grjefwslakdfjgf

Alec: LMAO

.Malia finally makes it to the drinks table and smiles at Rosie and Cyrus. "I'm gonna be blunt, did you spike this? If not, can you spike my cup?"

.L hums. "It probably isn't on purpose. People are just closer with their siblings." She half-smiles. "If you want, I can distract Rosie and you can go with Cyrus."

.L: omfff

.Malia: LOL

Alec: #learnchristiansname @ camp

Ashton: omg

Alec "That's so cool! they say to Ellie. "So when you go into someone else's dream, do you see what they were dreaming about? Does their dream automatically become lucid? Can you control it?"

Jesse presses a hand to her chest. "I'm hurt! Wounded! Such an accusation, that I would have been at a ball this long and ​not spiked the punch​."

Jesse: my god

Rosie presses a hand to her chest. "I'm hurt! Wounded! Such an accusation, that I would have been at a ball this long and not spiked the punch."

Jesse is just there doing nothing

Cyrus watches Malia with a certain gaze while she's talking to Rosie.

Victoria shrugged. "It's fine, trust me, it's fairly hard to separate those two," she replied.

Ellie "Um, some Morpheus children can I s'pose but I haven't figured that out quite yet.

Ellie: "

Caine joined the chat

.Malia laughs. "I knew I could trust you." She helps herself to some punch. "Want any?" she asks Jesse.

Hermes Jesys joined the chat

Ellie: [squints] which caine

Caine: Narnia Caine.

Ellie: omg

Kieran: omg

.L: THE COLOURS ARE SO SIMILAR I LOVE

.L: "Which caine?" "the blue one" "[squinting]"

.Malia: whispers can we do initials for the caines

Caine: im cACKLING

.Malia: or v different colors lmao

.Malia: it's too late for these guessing games

Danny joined the chat

Caine M. joined the chat

.L nods a bit more. "Yeah, I feel it." She offers her a smile. "We can hang out while they do, though."

Victoria smiled. "I'd like that," she told L.

Rosie "If you want any more added, just let me know," she chirps. "I just want everyone to have a good time tonight!"

.L grins widely. "Cool!"

Victoria "So, did you come with Blue and Rosie tonight?"

Jesse shrugs one shoulder and smiles at Mal. "Sure, why not."

Hermes Jesys changed name to Maverick

Alec nods slowly as though Ellie has imparted some great wisdom.

.Chase jumps in after Ellie. "We can help people with their dreams and the understanding of them, but we can't necessarily make them lucid. We can work with people while in their dream, but dreams are actually pretty complicated."

.Malia waggles her eyebrows and adds some more punch to the cup. She takes a gulp and then hands the cup to him.

.L bobs her head. "We all got ready together and everything."

Caine changed name to Caine P.

Macey drags them both onto the dance floor before she can get an answer.

Rosie looks to Parker and Kieran when they get close enough. "Drinks, gentlemen?"

Kieran raises a brow. "Are you going to pour the drink for me?"

.Parker winks at Rosie. "Well, we just came for the company, but why not?"

Jesse takes the cup and takes a small sip, then another one before lowering the cup. He looks a bit nervous when he notices Kieran and Parker are also heading to the drinks.

Alec "So if someone told you about a dream you could tell them what it means?"

Rosie "Well now, we wouldn't want you getting calluses on your dainty little fingers." She pours a drink for each of them.

.Chase nods. "We have a better time interpreting dreams. And we do a lot of reading on the subject for stuff that doesn't come naturally to us. Or some of us do, like our brother, Jesse, who was here before, but isn't now."

Cyrus nudges Malia. "Hey, you," He says and steps closer to her as Rosie enteritains Parker and Kieran, his voice kind of low so that only she would hear. "I brought some stuff tonight if you're in the mood." He tells her

Kieran watches Rosie carefully for any slight of hand, but doesn't see anything. He accepts the drink with a small smile, but waits to drink it.

Victoria "That sounds amazing," she replied. "My cabin was empty tonight so I just got ready alone and then met up with Cyrus to come here.."

Macey: macey says she'll adopt you victoria ccccc:

.L: omg

.L "Maybe you can get ready with us next time."

Alec rocks back and forth on their feet. "Where's Caspar the Friendly Ghost tonight?"

Rosie gives Kieran a wide grin and then adds more to her own cup. "If you want it any stronger, I gotchu covered."

Maverick sneaks a sip from his flask as he fluidly makes his way through the crowd of as he snags a misplaced tie and someone's discarded wallet chain. It had no real value at that moment, but that was easy to change. Pocketing the random items, he scanned the room looking for the next familiar face who'd get his attention.

Ellie "Again, I'm horrible at it," she said, to add on to Chase. She smiled, "Oh he's at the cabin now, probably sleeping, he was pretty tired earlier."

Kieran grins. "I'll be fine. I don't plan on dying tonight."

.Chase nods at Ellie and then laughs at Alec. "Is that is name now?"

.Chase then clicks his tongue at Ellie. "Please. You're just not practicing enough."

.Malia hears Kieran and Parker behind her and looks over her shoulder. "You guys following me?"

Ellie shrugged. "There's only so much you can read in a short amount of time."

.Malia then turns to Cyrus and taps the cup-- their code for "text me."

.Parker takes a large drink. "Damn, Rosie, just how much punch is in here? A drop?" He looks over when he hears Mal and laughs.

Victoria smiled, "That'd be really great," she replied.

.Malia takes another drink from the cup and hands it to Jesse. She pulls out her phone and quickly texts Cyrus 'what kind of stuff?'

Rosie laughs at both Kieran and Parker. "I make it for a good time, not the taste!" She watches Mal.

Alec grins at Chase. "Fits, eh? White hair and all."

Jesse automatically glances at Mal's phone, but looks away quickly when he has the cup, not wanting to pry.

.Malia closes her messages and shows Jesse the picture of Chase. "Look at what your brother does when I ask him to take a nice picture of my family."

Cyrus winks at Malia and then slips back over to Rosie's side. He takes a gulp of his drink and then feels his phone vibrate. He slips it out and reads it and responds with 'your favorite club drug, malia :p what else,, you've got me pretty hooked on it'

.L smiles more. "Yeah!" She licks her lips. "Do you want to go back inside now? We don't have to go back to the other group, but it's kind of chilly."

Macey is dancing somewhere i guess

Maverick appears behind Chase suddenly, but looks disappointed down at his hand at the two pieces of gum, one of which has wadded up game on the foil. More impressive what the half a penny he managed to pick pocket. "The hell dude, I've never been depressed so depressed from a score before. It's not even tuuti fruity."

Victoria "Uh yeah, sure," she responded, quickly taking a drink of wine and putting it back in her purse again. "Let's go."

Jesse looks back at the phone and laughs. He takes a sip of the drink before he responds. "That's a common Chase move. Like telling you you have something on your shirt then hitting your nose."

.Chase laughs and nods at Alec and then turns to look at Maverick, raising his eyebrows. "Back from the dead only to steal from me? Nice," he sounds somewhere between joking and bitter.

.Malia lets him look at it for a total of five seconds and then pulls up her messages again. 'lmao. yes but idk how i'd get away from everyone?? parker and jesse all over me about it :('

Ellie "So, uh, can you like do thing with luck or anything?" she question Alec.

Rosie watches Macey, then nudges Cyrus. "Wanna mess with her?"

Kieran sends a smile in Malia's direction then takes a sip of his drink. "Holy Jesus. That's a drink."

Macey: macey has brent and avery with her

Rosie: even better

Macey: also idk how much longer i'll be awake

Macey: tbh i'm barely....hanging on

Rosie: ah okay c:

Alec "Sorta?" they reply. "Don't really know how yet, just happens.""

Rosie: ignore the last rosie thing

Rosie nudges Cyrus. "You gotta keep up, dude. I'm a cup ahead of you."

Macey: sorry D:

Rosie: omg no it's fine

Rosie winks at Kieran. "You know it."

Ellie "I'm sure you'll get the hang out it," she replied with a wide grin. "Like Chage said, it just takes practice."

Ellie: omg *chase

.Chase changed name to .Chage

.Chage: c:

.Chage changed name to .Chase

Ellie: omg'

Cyrus reads his text and responds with: 'damn all right i'll be looking for a way we can sneak out, until then try and get away from them???'

Cyrus also is nudged by Rosie and groans. "Damn it!" He chugs the rest of his drink and then pours himself another one.

.Parker laughs at Kieran. "A loaf'll be enough for you?" He takes another sip.

.Malia 'awesome i'll see u soon ;)'

Kieran laughs. "I'll go slow."

Ariana is outside smoking that good kush with her new friend jack

.Parker: i lvoe ariana

Ariana: omg ;a;

Rosie scoffs at him. "Aren't you here for a good time?"

Rosie: wait

Rosie: yeah u know what any misunderstandings are on rosie's part

Maverick rolls his eyes, "I don't see how it's my fault you faltered in your faith of your best friend's awesomeness." He shrugged with his typical grin.

Jesse holds the cup out for Mal again. "You can finish it," he laughs.

.Malia puts her phone away and kisses Jesse as she takes the cup from him. "Sorry about that."

Cyrus "No, I'm here for a ​great​ time," He corrects with a grin and then looks toward the entrance. "How fucked up did you say you wanted to get tonight again? Like, more than alcohol fucked up?" he asks

Victoria oh yeah walked back in with l

.Chase crosses his arms. "Maybe I found new friends while you were off being awesome," he points his nose up, but sounds more on the side of joking at this point.

Rosie drains the rest of her drink, starting to feel lightheaded. She cocks her head at him. "What kinda fucked up are you talking?"

.Malia spots Maverick across the room and chugs the drink because wow

.L: omg

Jesse smiles at her again. "Don't worry about it." He looks around the room when she does. "It's kinda weird how many people have been returning to camp lately."

Cyrus "Do you wanna get high?" He asks, spotting Victoria as she entered in again but he looked away from her and back at Rosie.

Alec "Hopefully! But also hopefully until then I don't need it for anything important."

.Chase: ok alec,,,,,

.Chase: sweet child

.Malia reminds herself she's here with Jesse and puts the cup on the table. "I know. It's kind of fun, though. Like a little reunion."

Rosie happens to glance at Macey right when Cyrus asks, and straightens up before looking back at him. "Yeah, sure."

Victoria: [eyezooms alec]

Jesse "I didn't really know any of them, but I think Chase is happy he has an old friend back."

Alec: c;

.Malia takes her phone out again, texts Cyrus: 'ask me to dance in like 2 min'

.Malia nods. "Speaking of his old friend, I'm gonna go say hi to him!" She kisses him on the cheek. "Be back soon. Parker," she turns to her brother. "Can you keep Jesse company without making an ass of yourself?"

Ellie "Yeah, maybe that's when it'll come out those most though."

Cyrus has his phone in his hand tbh and reads it before answering Rosie. "Sweet," He grins and texts Malia back. 'Got it ;)'

Cyrus "Malia is coming too," He tells Rosie and then looks around for Malia.

.Parker blinks at Malia and then at Jesse. "Uh," he chugs the rest of his drink. "Sure."

Jesse nods, trying to ignore the part about Parker. When she leaves, he sighs and looks back at the others.

.Malia grins at the both of them and rushes off to Maverick. "Hey, you."

Rosie "Sick." She looks between Jesse and Parker. "So how's Amber?"

Casey realizes that he has been dancing for a long time and goes to the drinks table to hydrate.

Victoria: omg rosie

Maverick stares at and shakes his head, unable to really hold back his amusement, "If that's the case, you've been hanging around some really shitty liars with how unconvincing that was. I'm ashamed how out of practice you are..." He chuckles before glancing just slightly around the room, noting each sibling, old friend, and also the lovely Aphrodite girl with a curly haired sch-- oh hey, shiny. He glanced toward another brightly dressed camper before back at Chase, "I think something fun is lacking here..."

Kieran tags onto Parker and Jesse's "conversation", not knowing where else to go.

Alec spots Casey and pats Ellie's shoulder. "I'm gonna go say hi to someone else!"

Blue skips over to Casey. "Can you dance really fast? Like, how fast is the beat?"

.Chase laughs, somewhat offended. "Hey! I ​do​ have friends besides you." He rolls his eyes and follows Maverick's gaze. "What do you mean?"

.Parker coughs. "Uh, she's good."

Casey turns to Blue and laughs. "I could? I mean, about as fast as you could, I guess."

Jesse rubs the back of his neck and looks at his feet. "Yeah, good," he echoes Parker. "Baking cookies right now."

Ellie "Oh okay," she responded, "have a great night."

Ellie: #niceflirtingellie

Alec "Catch ya later!" They slip through the crowd towards Blue and Casey.

Maverick pleasantly surprised by Mal and his grin grows, "You didn't forget my name again, hm, beautiful?" He teased, "Hey, yourself. You seemed occupied a moment ago." He mentioned, but he honestly just enjoyed being around those he deemed his favorite people. Not that he was good at narrowing that down.

.Parker nods at Jesse. "She said you were helping her today?"

Jesse "Uh, yeah." He coughs and looks up at Parker. "But we burned the first batch, that's why she's, uh, not here right now."

Rosie wishes it was more awkward.

.Malia grins. "I'm pretty popular. Listen," she leans in and whispers to Mav. "I'm going to get high with Cyrus right now if you want to come with."

.L notices Blue, Casey, and Alec together and tilts her head at Victoria. "Wanna go hang out with them?"

Cyrus spots Malia. "I see Mal, I'm going to get her," He says to Rosie and begins to head over to a new group and walks over to her.

.Parker nods and looks at Rosie. "Is all of the punch spiked?"

Victoria "I actually have to talk to Cyrus, if that's okay," she told L.

Rosie watches Cyrus walk away then looks back to Parker. "Oh, yeah. Why? You not feelin' it?"

.L nods. "Yeah, s'fine. Good luck!" She walks over to Blue, Casey, and Alec.

Ellie pces tbh because imma just focus on one character before i leave.

Casey turns to Alec and L as they walk over. "Hey!"

.Parker pours himself another glass. "Not enough. I will soon."

Victoria hurried over to Cyrus. "Hey, Cyrus, wanna go and dance?" she asked him.

Blue grins. "You wanna make that a bet?"

Kieran keeps sipping his drink.

Blue she says on time

Alec grins and waves at both Casey and L, and Blue for good luck.

Rosie "Want some more? I still got some left."

Casey laughs. "I won't turn down a bet."

.L flashes a smile at them all. "Hey."

Cyrus is over by Malia and Maverick now. But just as he's about to ask Malia is she was ready, Victoria walks up and asks him to dance. "What?" He asks, slightly annoyed. "No, I don't."

Jesse doesn't even have a drink to hold onto now and shoves his hands into his pockets.

Cyrus turns to face Malia.

.Parker nods, but then looks at Jesse. "You want any?"

Victoria was a little taken aback but not too surprised. "Y'know Cyrus, I'm just going to head back to my cabin."

Jesse blinks a couple times. "Um, sure," he says even though he doesn't.

Victoria oh and she rolled her eyes tbh

Rosie looks between them and then pulls the rum bottle out of her bag. She doesn't even try to hide it now, holding it out to Parker. "You kids have fun. I'mma go see if Cyrus wants to dye someone's hair green tomorrow."

.Malia looks at Cyrus. "You ready?"

Caine P. walking alongside Danny toward the Ball, tugging at the slightly high collar on his black dress shirt as if it would somehow turn it into a t-shirt. This was probably a first as far as going to an event like this where he didn't feel forced, it had been wow... years since he'd gone with just another friend to one. "You want to take bets on who's already passed out on the dance floor?" He offered with a half-smile until he noticed Danny hesitated not far from the entrance, "C'mon, Danny... We'll both make a better looking wallflowers inside than out here."

Cyrus hears Victoria and turns around to face her again. "Wait, why?" He notices her roll her eyes. "That's ridiculous. Don't leave."

.Parker laughs, takes the bottle, and winks at Rosie. "Have fun, make sure it's not me." He looks at Kieran as he starts pouring liquor into a cup for Jesse. "Do you want any more?"

Victoria "Well you've done nothing but ignore me tonight," she told him, to be honest it probably was long overdue.

.Malia sighs when Cyrus looks away again.

Rosie heads over to Cyrus and Malia and that whole gang.

Maverick smirks at the offer, "I'm more than up for it. Granted, I already kinda beat you guys there." He looked to Chase, "You want in?" Mav couldn't help but offer, but he was already offering Mal a definitive nod.

Jesse watches Parker pour the drink, and then turns to look at where Chase and Malia are.

Kieran watches Parker pour the drink and shakes his head. "Not yet."

Kieran: omg theyre so in sync c':

.Chase nods at Rosie in greeting, then tilts his head at Maverick. "What are we talking?"

.Malia "Coke," she says quietly. "But please please please don't tell my brothers or Jesse. They're gonna flip out."

Cyrus hears Malia but doesn't look at her. His attention is on Vic. "Ignore you? What are you talking about? You left to get some air? That's not me ignoring you."

Maverick shrugs, "Well, I'm sure MJ's on the table.. I have a friend named Molly as well."

Maverick his eyes light up, "Even better."

Victoria laughed, rolling her eyes. "Are you kidding me?" she asked him. "Yeah and what about before that. We found Rosie and the minute you got together with her it was like I wasn't even there. What? Am I delusional or something?"

.Chase laughs at Maverick and then looks back at Malia, serious. "If Jesse doesn't ask, I won't tell him, but.." He shrugs, "I dunno." He looks back at Maverick. "You're going?"

Rosie shows up in front of Victoria and Cyrus with her usual timing. "'Sup, bitches?"

.Parker hands Jesse his drink and then sips his own. "So what's up? Besides baking?"

Danny chuckles, looking down at his shoes. "Sorry. I just need a second." Danny tries to remember the last social event he had attended. Memories past the year prior don't come easily, but Danny recounts a distinct image of Colin laughing at something he had said. Taking a deep breath, Danny pushes the image from his mind and looks up to see Caine waiting for him. He offers a careful smile and an outstretched hand. "Let's go."

Jesse looks back to Parker and takes the drink. "Thanks. Uh–" He tries to think of something not to do with Amber and Malia. "I don't really do a lot. Uh, dream interpretation. Archery. Normal things." He coughs and runs a hand through his hair. "You?"

.Malia nods, figuring Jesse won't ask. "Fine." She looks at Rosie. "You coming?" She looks at Cyrus. "Meet us outside." Then she looks back at Maverick. "I need a not suspicious reason to go outside. Want to escort me?" she asks him with a small smile.

Cyrus listens to Vic with narrowed brows. "So I like hanging out with my sister, that's not a crime," He claims and looks at Rosie.

Cyrus: shit i hit enter too soon

Maverick nods, "Of course. In fact, I can only see greater things happening with a bit of a kick like that." He also added a slightly warmer smile, "Plus, when was the last time we were totally fucked up together... far too long ago." His eyes skirted toward Malia momentarily, stealing a good angle to admire the object of his past flame before he returned to looking at Chase, expectant and already smiling at his friend.

Cyrus He rubs at his nose because he feels a tickle and then looks at Victoria. "Maybe you are delusional. Because I hang out with you all the time." His nose has started bleeding and he's clueless to it as he continued on, venting his annoyance.

Victoria "Hang out with me all the time?" she asked not noticing his nose at first. "When ever you hang out with me you ditch me to hang out with Rosie? Do you not ever realize it?"

Jack is high as life outside the Rec Room.

.Chase clicks his tongue. "Man, you're right. I've been an angel without you around, it's kind of awful."

Rosie snaps finger guns at Malia to say yes to the question, then looks to Cyrus and Victoria, eager to hear the drama she's somehow a part of. She clears her throat and nudges her brother, tapping her nose to try and warn him of the blood.

.Malia hooks arms with Mav. "Okay let's go before people start staring at the argument happening right next to us."

Maverick couldn't help fighting back a small snicker, "Me? Suspicious? Never." Nodding again, he offered his leather jacket clad arm as he feigned chivalry, "I'll protect you the whole 25 ft journey." He teased before he glanced right to Chase, "Exactly, I'm disgusted hearing it. So, I'm taking that as a yes."

.Parker nods, sipping his drink quickly so the drinking will hit him all at once. "I train a lot too, but I use knives."

Cyrus feels Rosie nudge him but tries to keep his attention on Victoria for the most part so he doesn't see the nose tapping. He laughs bitterly. "Maybe I do," He admits. "But that doesn't mean I don't like you? I can't hang out with my sister now? Is that what you're saying?"

Blue omg hugs and kisses L when she came over

Maverick pauses a moment, considering if he should intervene, but that would jeapardize their distraction. "Sure, let's go." Leaves with Mal and them whenever someone leads.

Kieran snickers and takes another sip of his drink. "That's right. He uses knives."

.Chase nods on time to Maverick and follows after him and Malia, but not too closely.

.Malia exits into the hallway and then makes a beeline for the big gender-neutral bathroom. "How much you take?" she asks as she opens the door.

Victoria "In what way did I say that, I'm just saying that she kind of brings out the worst in you," she replied, then made a small face knowing that wasn't much better. But everything came out so quick, she was finally venting it. "It's like you don't even notice that she treats me like I'm worthless and that you don't even know that you let her and ignore it. I don't care if you hang out with your sister, but it'd be really freaking nice if you didn't ditch me to do it half the time."

Casey notices an argument bubbling up across the room. "I think someone's pissed."

.L beams at Blue and then tilts her head at Casey, turning to look at Victoria and Cyrus, then making a face.

Rosie hears all of that because she's literally a foot away. "Wait a fucking second there princess, what'd you just say about me?"

Rosie "Care to repeat that?"

Victoria doesn't break eye contact with Cyrus. "Am I wrong though?

Victoria: "

Jesse takes another long sip from his drink. "Knives," he echoes, not really knowing what to say to that. "Cool." He glances over again and frowns when he sees that there's three fewer people in the room.

Cyrus listens to Victoria and then wipes at his nose, getting blood over his hand. He notices the red and has to break eye contact with Vic and freaks out. "What the fuck? I'm fucking bleeding," He groans like it's happened before. "Damn it!"

Rosie shoves Victoria's shoulder when she doesn't look at her. "I'm talking to you." She glances back at Cyrus. "Go get some toilet paper or something."

Cyrus looks at Rosie, knowing that he's bleeding but there wasn't much he could do at the time. He blinks as Rosie shoves Vic's shoulder. "Hey, no, don't shove her, Rosie. That's not cool."

Caine P. nodded in understanding, he'd been fairly careful not to press anything. Afterall, he was aware why Danny asked him along, or atleast of the reason he'd been given and Caine would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy the prospect of mending the bridge that had never been given the proper time to ever be built completely when it came to both of them. Plus, atleast he knew the son of Demeter wasn't among those he had to wait out and decide if he trusted them, what had ever obscured any chance at friendship was gone and he'd decided not to dwell on those past excuses. "Take your time. This is suppose to be fun." He wasn't entirely convinced how yet, but he was determined to ensure it atleast wasn't just a parade of bad memories. That being said, Caine had never thought much about it when it came to contact with his friends, he'd always been incredibly close with his siblings and what few friends he did have, so the outstretched hand was taken without a question as they entered the camper crowded hall. Even he felt momentarily puzzled, but it was alleviated by the reminder that eyes being on him weren't his concern tonight. "Drinks first. Yeah?"

Victoria "Yeah, but am I wrong? You treat me like I'm nothing," she responded looking at Rosie.

.Parker laughs at Kieran and shakes his head, then nods at Jesse. "We got dressed with Malia today," he says proudly.

Rosie turns on Cyrus now. "What, you're gonna just let her say all that shit about me?" She rolls her eyes at what Victoria says. "Oh, like you're that special. I don't even fucking know you, what do you want me to do, chat about all the good times we've had?"

Maverick smirked, " A few lines, or whatever we're splitting up. I have stuff to share too if need be." He nodded, before pausing, "We going to wait on, Cy...?"

Victoria "I don't know, maybe fucking acknowledge me," Victoria replied. "I'd like to be on good terms with you but it's obviously not that easy."

.Chase isn't sure whether she's talking to him or Mav, but is pretty sure it's the latter, so he lets Maverick speak for him.

Jesse reassures himself that they probably just stepped out for air, and believes it since Chase is with them. He looks back to Parker. "Oh, yeah, she mentioned!" He smiles. "That's nice you guys are, uh, getting along again."

Rosie faces Victoria fully now. "Then maybe do something that's fucking worth it!"

.Malia "Nah, that Hecate chick seemed pretty pissed." She fishes her bag of stuff out of her clutch, thankful she forgot to unpack it, along with a small hand mirror. "Let's just go around until we're feeling good."

Danny The ease of having Caine by his side almost immediately dissipates when Danny walks into the Rec Room. The crowd of campers and the sound of an argument in the distance puts Danny on edge. He looks to Caine and nods. "Definitely drinks first." Danny starts his way around the masses, afraid he'll be pulled into a conversation if he cuts straight through.

Cyrus "No, I want you both to stop it," He explains to Rosie and Victoria. He looked at Victoria. "You're too good to me. I'm shittier than you think," He claims and then looks at Rosie. "And you're a bad influence, own up to it."

Victoria: oh shit

Blue "When isn't there an arguement?" She sighs loudly. "Whatever. Casey, have you ever tried your power with someone else? Or could that kill them?"

.Parker looks at Kieran and shrugs. "I guess." He takes a long sip of his drink before saying, "You and Amber too. But, I mean, that's been a long time coming."

.L raises her eyebrows. "What power?"

Rosie throws up her hands when Cyrus speaks. "I know I'm a bad influence! But she's acting like you're some goody two shoes that I'm dragging to the depths of the underworld with me!"

Casey furrows a brow. "What do you mean?"

Kieran "Malia mentioned? What did she tell you?"

Victoria "He's not a fucking goody two shoes," she said and then pointed to Rosie. "And you, you're not the worst person I've met. This had nothing to do with you. I just thought this time was different, that maybe he wouldn't do it to me again," Victoria said and looked straight at Cyrus again, "I guess I was wrong." Victoria took a step back to back down. "I'm done, I'm leaving. Have fun with your sister."

.Chase nods at Malia. "I'm gonna bow out quickly. I haven't done this shit in so long."

Jesse nods at Parker with a small smile, the tips of his ears turning red. "Yeah. It's nice to be friends again." He looks surprised when Kieran addresses him. "Um. She said it was kind of awkward? But she, uh, also kinda enjoyed it?" He rubs the back of his neck and hopes it's not betraying Mal's trust to say that.

Cyrus groans when Victoria tells him to have fun. "I can't do this right now!" He yells loudly at both of them and then storms off to fetch something for his nose.

Kieran hides a smile behind the rim of his glass. "Great." He takes a sip.

Victoria leaves to her cabin because she's pissed and i'm tired af

.Malia sets up a line on the hand mirror. "That's fine. I guess I should take it easy, too." She tries to keep the fact that she's betraying Jesse's trust out of her mind and takes the line. "Okay, one of you hold the mirror while I set up the next."

Rosie is ready to go for her throat but they both leave before she has a chance to do anything. "​Fuck​ this," she exclaims, stomping her foot, and shoves her way back to the drinks table to find Blue.

Blue waves Rosie over. "Everything gucci?"

Rosie takes a cup and grabs the rum back from Parker, filling it almost halfway. She downs a good third of it in one drink. "Just ​incredible​."

.Parker rolled a die. The die showed: 4

.Parker: HA HE DOESNT NOTICE A THING

.Parker: FUCK PARKER

.Parker lets Rosie take the rum and talks to Jesse over her, feeling warm. "That's just how it was!"

Kieran: OMG HAHAHA

.Chase takes the mirror from her.

Blue "Wasn't that the crazy girl who magic-d everyone last week? What's her deal. Oh! This is Casey. Casey, this is my girlfriend." She grins.

Jesse smiles at Parker and Kieran and takes another small sip from his drink. He glances over again at where Mal and Chase were. "Speaking of Mal, she's been gone a while?"

.Chase: omg is brosie #official

Blue: blue fuckin wishes

.Parker blinks when Jesse says this and turns around, looking around the room. "Really? When'd she leave?"

Maverick almost ignored the comment about going easy until it clicked, the question was almost out his mouth until another loud shout from the distant fight distracted him. Once Mal sets it up, he takes the mirror from Chase and teases, "Ladies, first. Kidding, all you, bro."

Casey gives a smile and a wave. "Hi."

.Malia sets up the line. "Go for it," she says, handing him the rolled up bill.

Rosie finishes her cup already and slams it down on the table. "Yeah! Apparently she's got some weird fucking problem with me for spending time with my brother. Should've slapped her." She nods at Casey, still basically vibrating with rage. "'Sup."

Jesse "Uh, like five minutes ago? Ten?" He blinks at his cup. "Chase and Maverick are gone too."

.Chase rolls his eyes at Maverick and takes the bill from Malia. "Wow, I've missed you. When are you leaving again?" He laughs and takes the line, then tilts his head back and blinks rapidly.

.Parker frowns deeply, then looks at Rosie. "Were you with Mal before that girl flipped on you?"

Casey joined the chat

Casey presses his lips together and ever so slightly takes a step back.

Rosie looks to Parker now, her hands still in fists. "I was in the area 'cause I wanted to ask Cyrus about a prank. Not that ​that​ worked out. I think they went for air, dunno where Chase went."

Blue "Casey, if you're looking for someone to go at you with sharp objects, Rosie is the girl. She'd love that shit."

Jesse frowns more when he hears Chase isn't necessarily with them.

Casey laughs. "I believe it."

.Parker makes a face and looks at Jesse. "I didn't even know Maverick was back until like, today. I thought he died."

Rosie hits one of her fists to her chest and looks to Casey. "Yo, shit, I'd be all over that." She pauses. "Not you specifically."

Casey shrugs. "Let me know if you want to blow off some steam. I've been itching for a fight."

Blue "Oooh, what if we tag teamed against you? Extra challenge."

.L is following this conversation with a lot of confusion bc she doesn't know about Casey's power.

Casey puts a finger to his lips. "Never done that before." He looks at the two of them side by side. "But I'm down to try."

Rosie "I should fight ​someone​ before the rum hits and I go to that witch girl's cabin."

Caine P. cant't help but nod as they manage to side step the crowds where they can, Caine breaking proximity when he sees a opening near the refreshments, looking to Danny is confusion as he gestures to get some kind of answer as far what he wanted in the first place. Once he did, he offered a full glass to Danny while the blond was already nursing his drink. "I don't know why, but... I didn't expect quite this level. But, maybe I just was thinking of when we were way younger and like hardly anyone was ever here during Winter Break... y'know?"

Jesse "So did Chase." He frowns and looks at the door they left out of. "Should we be worried about Mal?"

.Parker bites his lip. "You know about Maverick and Mal? And like... how they were together and stuff?"

.Malia: PARKER WTF

Maverick takes the mirror, "You want to set up for me, or you wanna see how it's truly done." He winked, teasing slightly as he made it obvious there was no difference as he waited on Mal, tweaking with the rolled up bill.

Jesse doesn't quite know how to react to that. "I do now."

.Malia rolls her eyes. "Don't question an expert," she teases, setting it up for him. "Next time we'll try it your way with your shit."

.Chase looks at Mal and raises his eyebrows. "Expert?"

.Parker makes an "uh-oh" face and feels the alcohol going to his head, and his mouth. "I mean.. Like, well," he groans. "Why were ​you​ worried about her?"

Danny laughs, taking the drink in his hands. "I remember." He takes a long sip. "Camp wasn't nearly this big, either." Danny looks around at the chaos in the room and wonders how long camp has been this way. "This room used to be a lot smaller. And shittier," he laughs. "I always thought we needed a bigger place like this. Now," Danny gestures at all the ruckus, "I'm not so sure."

Casey "Fight me," Casey offers enthusiastically. "Bet you won't win."

Jesse chews the inside of his cheek and puts his cup down, doubting it'll do anything to stop the slight ache in his chest. "'Cause of what we talked about before." He looks to the doorway again. "I'd rather what- what you're implying. 'Least it's not as dangerous."

Rosie "Seriously?" She squints at him. "You got some kinda freaky power shit? I don't even care, let's do this."

.Parker looks at Jesse with unfocused eyes. "What, we talked.. about." He hiccups and then his eyes widen in realization. "Oh. ​Oh​. Fuck. Oh fuck. Shit, yeah, that makes sense too, uh?" He looks around, "Where did they go?"

Jesse frowns at Parker's expression. "Are you okay? Maybe you shouldn't have any more to drink."

Kieran "Where else would you go to bump coke and fuck around?" Kieran doesn't wait to put his drink down and head out of the main room.

.L looks between the two of them and looks alarmed. "Maybe this isn't smart."

.Parker follows after Kieran clumsily.

Casey smiles at L. "Probably not. But it'll be fun."

Alec has been there the whole time. "Can I watch?"

Casey turns to Alec. "Will you bet on me?"

Alec "Yeah," they say easily.

Blue "Oh hell yes, this is gonna be so dope L, lookit what he does."

Casey laughs. "Then yeah."

Jesse sighs and follows Parker, keeping a foot behind him so that hopefully if Parker trips he can at least keep him from getting a concussion.

Kieran feels a rush as he strides to the bathroom.

.L "But you're not gonna hit Rosie, right?"

Kieran and not that kind of rush either

.L: HAHAH

.Malia shrugs. "I've been doing this a while. Go for it, Mav."

Rosie looks to L. "It's chill."

.L nods at Rosie and takes a step back.

Casey notices L step back and looks at Rosie and Blue. "Right here, then?"

Maverick rolls his eyes, "See if I give you any freebies talking like that." Mav shrugged in turn, doing the line himself as he tilted his head back, as his encouraging the drip to onset quicker before he swallowed from habit. "Mmm... I think I could literally go pulls some Jedi shit... what about you, Chase?" He joked, looking back to Malia, "Thanks. As always, you know how to highlight a guy's night."

.Chase laughed at Maverick and nodded. "Nobody is gonna be looking for these droids tonight. Mist the fuck outta everyone I can."

.Chase: why did i switch tenses

.L: he's that hifh

Rosie looks to Blue. "You good with right here, babe?"

Blue "I'm good for anytime, any place."

.L is glad her girlfriends are bonding.

Rosie: HAHAH L

Blue winks at Rosie so she knows that has multiple meanings.

.L: c;

Rosie grins and looks back at Casey. "Yeah."

.Parker runs after Kieran, spilling his drink on the floor as he does so.

Jesse walks faster so he isn't left behind.

Kieran stops at the door and looks back at Parker and Jesse. "Well?"

Jesse swallows, hoping no one is in there. "Is it open?"

.Parker blinks in confusion and then walks past Kieran and knocks on the door.

Casey smiles and widens his stance, fists up by his chin. Time begins to slow down, the roar of the crowd melting into a slow, ethereal hum.

.Malia winks. "Thanks for the excuse to bump this." She sets up the next line for herself and takes it quickly, balancing the mirror on the edge of the sink. She tilts her head back and sniffs. "Oka—" She freezes when she hears the knock and mouths a curse.

Caine P. nods, thinking back a bit though his thoughts are easily distracted by the bickering teens on the floor. By nature, he just wanted it to stop and to help, however it was always those kind of gestures that drew too much attention and often led to him embarassing himself when he got flustered. It was the last thing he needed especially when he kept getting confused by people calling after some Poseidon kid who stole his name. "It is crazy... I mean, the Arts & Crafts Pavillion used to be just like.. a 1/4 size classroom... atleast that's the first time I saw it. I just never imagined somethings changing the way they have... especially this one." He winced slightly at a shout that was simply too close, which irritated him enough to feel a slight surge of confidence to shut them up-- but, he had promised himself to make this about helping Danny have a decent night out. "The one that still gets me is how Capture the Flag has only become more intense... and nothing has even changed."

.Chase 's head turns quickly to the door, eyes wide. He looks between the other two and then at the window, then back at the door.

Blue is practically bouncing with excitement. "Watch this," she exclaims to Rosie and throws a punch at Casey.

Rosie watches.

.L watches as well.

Casey bends easily out of Blue's range, sliding to his right with a grin. He quickly passes his gaze to Rosie.

.Malia covers her mouth to keep from laughing and gestures for both of the guys to climb through the window.

Rosie "Holy ​fuck​."

.L blinks, feeling like she missed something. "Speed?"

.L: no, coke

.Malia: no co--

.Malia: c:

Rosie: LMAO

.Parker frowns and knocks again, then tries the knob.

.Parker: C;

Danny tries to tune out the din of the room with another sip of alcohol. "Well, some things have changed." Before he can complete the thought, the memory of holding a sword, facing down another camper, comes to mind and Danny flinches away from the thought. "Were parties always like this? Was that just us and we never realized how obnoxious we were?" He laughs bittersweetly. "I always thought I was being cute. I really hope that I didn't come off like this."

.Malia hands Mav her drugs and mouths 'hurry up," her grin widening. "Hold on!" she calls to the door.

Maverick raises an eyebrow, then following Mal's gestures and Chase's he was confused why they were even still there. Sure, he hesitated over Mal not being the one to go, he had more than enough excuses, but mouthing to Chase, he nodded toward the window, "Race you, pansy." Mav smirked before skillfully and quieetly scrambling out the window.

Maverick and took the drugs and stuff Mal gave him.

Jesse frowns when he hears Mal's voice and leans against the wall.

.Chase has to cover his mouth to keep from laughing and then follows after Maverick. He doesn't yell back at him simply because of the situation they're in.

.Parker groans. "Mal! What are you doing?"

.Chase also goes out of the window with less skill than Maverick but still manages c:

.Malia waits until they're out of sight and then flushes the toilet and runs the sink for an appropriate amount of time. Then she opens the door. She's surprised to see Parker, Kieran, and Jesse there and he smile takes on a hint of confusion. "What's going on?"

Kieran replies suspiciously. "You tell us."

Jesse doesn't look at Mal.

Casey flashes Rosie a smile. "Try to hit me."

.Parker raises his eyebrows at her.

Rosie doesn't even wait for him to finish his sentence before she swings.

Maverick somewhere in the distance, he laughs at Chase for sucking at his own name before offering a high five before eventually asking why they ran away.

.Malia 's smile falls. "What?" She looks at Jesse and then back at Parker.

.Chase flips Maverick off and then shrugs. "Because we can't have people catching us doing that shit, duh."

Casey is caught off guard by Rosie's initiative and more narrowly avoids her swing, ducking to the left with a roll of his body.

Kieran sighs and tries to push past Malia to see what's in the bathroom.

.Malia lets him.

Jesse bites the inside of his cheek again and looks at Parker, then turns. He still doesn't look at Mal. "I'm gonna go. To bed."

Rosie takes a quick few steps forward so she doesn't fall when she misses. "Whoa!"

.Parker furrows his brow. "You know what, Mal."

.Chase rolled a die. The die showed: 2

.Chase: FUCK

Kieran: oMG

Rosie: OMG

Kieran rolled a die. The die showed: 4

Kieran: c:

.Chase: wait wait

.Chase rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 17

Maverick rolls eyes, "I meant who the hell were we running from. You guys looked so scared like Chiron was after us. Not your curly haired McDerp brother." Maverick continued, "We could of claimed we were doing anything but what it was and it's not like he could of done anything... or... wait... she doesn't actually tell him her hobbies... does she?" He asked, more amused than he thought he could be,

Kieran: okay okay

.Chase: [squints]

Kieran rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 15

Kieran: ooooh you lucky duck

Maverick rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 5

Caine P. rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 6

Caine P.: dats bull shit

.Chase tilts his head. "My brother? I didn't know who was there, it was Jesse?"

Kieran moves toward the sink, looking around for any paraphernalia, but doesn't see anything.

Casey reaches out a hand to help steady Rosie. "Got it?"

Rosie straightens herself up with a grin. "That was sick."

.Malia immediately moves for Jesse. "Wait, Jess. Don't." She grabs his hand. "Jesse, I wasn't doing anything."

Jesse looks back at Mal when she grabs him, then down at their hands. He swallows, not sure of what to say or if he believes her or not. "Where are Chase and Maverick?"

Kieran comes out of the bathroom and gives Parker a shrug. "There's nothing."

.Malia pretends very convincingly to look confused. "I don't know."

.Parker stands by Kieran, letting Jesse and Malia have their moment.

Jesse looks up at her face, trying to judge if she's lying or not. He can't tell, so he gives her the benefit of the doubt. With a sigh, he squeezes her hand. "Okay. Sorry. Overreaction."

.Parker frowns at Kieran and then looks back at Malia. "I want to see your purse." He frowns more. "Please."

.Malia shoots a glare at her brothers before looking back at Jesse. "I'm sorry. I was gone longer than I said I'd be. We went outside for a bit because there were people arguing next to us. But I don't know where they went after I came back in."

.Malia hands Parker her clutch without looking at him.

Kieran eyes Malia suspiciously.

.Parker takes her purse and rifles through it, frowning, then hands it to Kieran.

Jesse runs a hand through his hair, some of the tension leaving his shoulders. "No, should've trusted you. Sorry, it's been a- weird night."

Kieran trusts Parker's search and holds the clutch down at his side, even though the leather clashes against his velvet.

.Parker: omdf

Casey beams. "Yeah. Thanks."

.Malia sighs. "It's okay." She squeezes his hand and looks back at her brother's. "Can I have my clutch back?" she asks icily.

.Malia: brothers* plural not the possessive

Kieran hands her the clutch.

.Parker frowns at her.

Jesse still feels weird about the whole situation. "I think I'm still going to go to bed now."

.Malia nods. "Okay." She kisses him on the cheek because it feels like the most he'd be comfortable with right now. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

Jesse nods and gives her a small smile. "Yeah." He takes a step back. "Uh, night Parker. And Kieran." He hesitates as if he's not sure if he's meant to do something else, then turns and walks away.

.Parker gives Jesse a small wave.

Kieran gives Jesse a small wave.

Kieran: oMG

Jesse: om

.Parker: oh my

.Malia watches Jesse leave and then turns on her brothers. "What the fuck is your deal?"

.Parker scoffs at her. "​You​ asked me to hang out with him."

.Malia "I'm gone for, what, 20 minutes and you managed to convince him to completely distrust me? If that's all you're going to do, stay far away."

.Parker scoffs again. "It was ​his​ idea that you were here! Maybe you're the one convincing him not to trust you."

.Parker: slap him mal

.Parker: do it

Caine P. notices the slight flinch, his expression furrowing momentarily as he worried over whether he'd caused Danny discomfort, but he found a better option as the other continued and allowed Caine to respond and hopefully carry the conversation toward something hopefully less memory littered, he could hope. "You'd know better than me." Caine laughed, I wasn't really part of many 'real' parties here, unless we count the random campfires. I've only ever been to some when I left camp..." He shrugged a bit, "But, the rare times I was around, I'm pretty sure you never hit this level of douchery or annoying. " He said with a warm smirk curling at his lips, obviously meant to be encouraging and friendly, and with any luck, he hoped it was funny since he figured Danny may know how easy it was to be on Caine's shit list thanks to the one simple deciision many campers made regarding when they talked to him and quickly earned his ire. "I'm half sure we could play Go Fish while smoking hash and it'd be closer to a party than this anarchy."

.Malia despite the ramping high of the drugs, that comment hurts too much and her expression crumples. "I guess so," she spits back, but there's not a lot of fight in her voice.

.Parker suddenly feels more bad for Malia than mad at her and frowns, expression softening. "I'

.Parker: wow

.Parker "I'm sorry. You weren't doing anything, but we were worried. You were gone for a while."

.Malia "I get it," she mumbles glumly. "I'm gonna go to bed, too, I think."

.Parker sighs and looks at Kieran. "Same."

.Malia doesn't wait for either of them before turning around and walking back to the cabins.
