VINCENT WELCOMING THE PACK IN WAHEEE !!!! I can hear the awkwardness because he didn't know beforehand. He called them enjoyable !! moreso than other people !! David saying that Vincent and Lovely both having a spot at their table i'm falling to my knees.
Uhoh, they're already getting job offers !!
Asher asking him to blink twice if he needs help, and Milo saying that he looks like he has a gun to his head. LMAO. Help this poor man.

---- HOW ARE WE ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH DUDE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ----
David getting a message about being Careful of William. Saying that Quinn had to have come from Somewhere, somewhere with Friends. That William is a horrible judge of character. And dragging all of the fuckin' clan members LMAOOOO.
Man the House of Solaire is a mess huh !!!!
----
SAM LETS FUCKING GO !!!!!! GET HER ASS !!!!! God while it's raining also. It's like a scene from a movie. God I could just IMAGINE the hard stare the two of them exchanged before Alexis finally gave in (in her own way). and the IMMEDIATE zip off from Sam after he heard what he wanted. What a work of art.
----
ASH AND MILO !!! YIPPEE !!!! AND PORTER IS TALKING TO THEM ?? I am going to go fucking crazy oh my god dude I'm going to go NUTS.
(Hey off-topic, but this background music is something that shows up in someone else's videos that I watch and I got So Fucking Confused for a second LMAO. Okay we can carry on)
Immediately asking Sweetheart if they're an investigator for the Department, as well as having a Time Crunch-- is VERY SUSPICIOUS.
HEY HE KNOWS ABOUT CLOSEKNIT ??? PORTER YOU CAN'T ALSO BE IN TOWN FOR CLOSEKNIT. HEY YOU CAN'T ALSO BE INVOLVED.
ONE OF CLOSEKNIT'S CURRENT BACKERS IS HERE ?? THE HOUSE OF BENNETT ?????
Okay Porter you're maybe a fuckin' hero. Even if you have potential strings with this.
Telling Sweetheart to get in and listen and get out seems SCARY !!!! HEY THIS COULD BE A SETUP FOR SOMETHING !!!!! HEY UHOH !!!!
Milo being worried for his mate !! hey me too !!!!
Oh my god it's been almost two years since Inversion. oh NO Ash doesn't know what Milo did that night.
Even through his worries he immediately stands up for it when Ash is a little wary about it. :')))
----
SWEET SAM AND DARLIN' MOMENT IN THE RAIN !!!!!!! I'M GONNA EAT THIS UP !!!!!!!!!
Sam stickin' around Alexis even after showin' her true colors, saying there is a heart in her somewhere deep (deep, deep, deep) down in there somewhere. Even if he hates her with everything he has.
He found one of her "real person" moments from her when they talked. Just like a movie dude, i'm tellin' ya.
Him reassuring Darlin' that they can absolutely handle themself, but she is a problem that He "brought" in to their relationship-- so he wanted to at least Help. And deal with his own problems.
HE CALLED HER A BITCH DUDE LET'S GOOOO !!!!! COMMON W.
Darlin' saying that their problems are shared :'))) what if i just scream into the night.
---- HOW ARE WE STILL NOT DONE ----
Uuuuuh-oh. Asher pulling David and Angel to the side. Telling the what's-up.
David and Asher exchanging some kind of look about it oh my GOD what another scene from a movie. I'm so proud of Asher for asserting his decision. He's grown so much !!!
David saying he Knows that Asher can do this. THAT'S BEST FRIENDS RIGHT THERE !!!! WOOOOO.
----

SWEETHEART ARE YOU MAKING NOISE ??? SWEETHEART BABY WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOING !!!!!!! HEY YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
WHY ARE WE CUTTING IT HERE PLEASE ARE THEY OKAY.
----
Oh my god Porter starting a fight with Vincent so that they can take away attention from whatever Sweetheart is doing with House Bennett.
I understand that Vincent can't know because of time constraints, but i can't imagine how he feels when it's Suddenly happening in front of EVERY important person in the Vampire circle of Dahlia. At least that makes the fight convincing. .... hahah ......
HEY KING BENNETT IS DEAD ???? HEY WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED ???? SWEETHEART ???? HEY SWEETHEART WHAT HAPPENED ?????? ARE YOU OKAY ????? PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU DID THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DOES ALEXIS KNOW ??? HEY HOW DOES SHE KNOW BEFORE SOMEONE FOUND OUT.
----
THAT'S WHERE IT ENDS ????? HEY WHAT THE FUCK ??????? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT ????
I AM GOING TO GO BERSERK DUDE !!!!!!!!!! HOW LONG UNTIL THE NEXT VIDEO ???? HEY ARE WE OKAY ???? SWEETHEART IS CHILL RIGHT ????? WE'RE COOL ?????

healing - peter parker x reader
overview: dating peter parker isn’t easy and neither is patching him up after a fight.
***
now dating peter parker, it was the most amazing experience of your life. you’d never felt so loved and appreciated, but you’d never worried so much either. you constantly checked your phone seeing if he’d messaged you, you had notifications on for the news app on your phone so you knew if something was going down.
you were also extremely proud of your boyfriend, his morals the way he would always put other people first, he was like no one you’d ever met. you couldn’t ask for a better boyfriend. but all the times you’d patched him up, and seen him hurt did have a bit of an effect on you. but it was peter, he wouldn’t stop if you asked and you didn’t want him too. he was the bit of good in the world you wanted to see.
you had gone to bed hours ago having sent the goodnight i love you text to peter you fell asleep. only to be awoken to tapping, you rubbed your eyes groaning slightly as you emerged from your slumber. you sat up trying to figure out were the sound was coming from when you looked over to your window seeing the red and blue mask. peter.
you jumped up from your bed shivering as the cold air hit your bare legs, you only wearing underwear and one of peters shirts as you made your way to the window letting your probably injured boyfriend inside.
“pete what are you doing here? are you okay?” you spoke softly, peter adored your sleepy voice he thought it was adorable. he shook his head at your question climbing through the window and pulling his mask from his face. you turned putting your lamp on so you could see him properly, the light coming from the window not being enough.
when you turned back around you felt the dread immediately filling your body as you saw peters face, bruised and bloodied, you wanted to cry at the sight of it. but you knew he was safe now and he’d heal.
“oh pete what happened” you asked grabbing a first aid kit from one of your lower drawers pete couldn’t help but watch as his shirt only just covering your ass rode up as you bend to get it.
“you know superhero stuff” he smiled you shook your head as you sat on the bed next to him ripping open an alcoholic wipe to clean the cuts on his face.
“this is going to sting” you spoke as you gently began cleaning his face, his face slightly scrunched up as you cleaned one of the deeper wounds under his eyebrow.
“i missed you” you smiled at his words as you continued being peters doctor as normal.
“i missed you too baby, you staying here tonight?” you asked as his hand rested on your thigh, he nodded and you felt relieved. you didn’t want him to leave now you wanted to know he was safe, safe here in your arms.
once you’d cleaned off his face you got up chucking the first aid kit back in your draw and grabbed a pair of peters sweatpants you’d stolen and laid them on the bed for him. he thanked you standing up wincing you noticed as he did.
“you sure you’re okay?” you questioned, no one could understand how much you worried about the lanky boy infront of you.
“yes baby i’m okay, i’ll be better when we’re in bed” he smiled before kissing your forehead trying to reassure you he was okay but it never really worked. you nodded climbing back in bed as peter got changed into the pair of sweatpants you gave him. you sat up in bed as you watched him pull himself from the suit and change into the sweatpants, you noticed the bruises littered over his torso.
“you need anything? food? pain meds?” you asked as he made his way over to the bed pulling the covers away so he could slide in next to you.
“y/n stop worrying im okay i promise you. this isn’t that bad” he pulled you into his arms, you sighed at his words.
“i know but your 17 peter, what normal 17 year old gets beaten like this once every two weeks. it just worries me” you spoke looking up into his beautiful eyes, the eyes you fell in love with. peter cupped your cheeks gently rubbing the pad of his thumb across your cheek.
“i know I’m sorry, but i promised you didn’t i? i promised you i will always come home to you.” you gently pressed a soft kiss to you lips and you kissed him back before he pulled away leaving you with a smile on your face.
you both laid down getting comfortable as you laid with your head on his chest careful not to cause any pain, he had an arm wrapped round you gently rubbing your back, you’d normal have your leg over him but you were scared of hurting him.
“i’m not made of glass, you’re not gonna hurt me baby” he said grabbing your leg and putting it over his waist, it was almost like he read your mind. he was perfect, you loved him. but seeing him in pain hurt you just as much as him.

Hello love! I literally freaked out when I saw you're now taking requests for BSD! Do you think you could do a Dazai SFW alphabet? I'm absolutely obsessed with your writing btw, I've never ran to my phone so quickly in my life until I started getting notifications from your blog. <3
Stop I'm gonna cry. Ilyt, nonnie. 😭🤧
Warnings: mentions of suicide
Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
I feel like Dazai would either be highly clingy with you, or he'd just kind of stick to himself because he isn't really sure what to do. That being said, he'd either be showering you with hugs, compliments, sweet talk (?), kisses, etc., or he'd unintentionally neglect you because of his lack of experience.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Well, if you're a girl, he's obviously going to introduce himself to you for the first time begging for a double suicide, which leads to stronger relationships later on. I feel like Dazai would be the type of person to cause all the chaos in the friend's group (because he is). Speaking from personal experience, having a sister with a boyfriend who's pretty much a real-life version of Dazai, he'd be the type of friend to only eat small amounts of food because he's self-destructive, and then you'd have to constantly be spamming his phone, reminding him to eat, and feeding him like a baby whenever you see him in person.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He loves to cuddle because he knows if you get into a fight you'd probably strangle each other and his double suicide mission would be a success. . . jk. He just loves spending quality time with you without having to worry about anything going out in the world. He really doesn't care if he's the big or little spoon, either. All he really wants is to be with you.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
This one's actually kind of hard. I feel like he would like to settle down at one point, but he probably doesn't know how to make it work because he's hoping to be dead soon, as we all know. He's pretty good at keeping things tidy if the house, room, etc., was already cleaned, but when it's really messy he can't do it. And his cooking isn't very great, either. He'd probably be the kind of guy to somehow light his cereal on fire.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
One word, death.
On a more pleasant note, however, he'd probably just like "it's not you, it's me," explain what's going on, and then hug you before he walks away.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
This one's also hard. I think a commitment would be a little bit of a struggle for Dazai because again, he wouldn't know how to make it work. He'd probably want to get married at one point, but he's not in a hurry at all because he has to get his feet under him and his life together before he can consider taking your relationship a step further.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
While Dazai is physically gentle and afraid of hurting you physically, he isn't very gentle emotionally with his dreams of committing suicide. Like any normal and sane person, the thought of losing a loved one is terrifying and traumatizing, and sometimes it keeps you up at night because you can't help but worry.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
He likes hugs, especially when one of you are having a bad day. He hugs you fairly often, but not usually every day because sometimes he's unable to get to do it. Dazai's hugs are warm and comforting, but not very tight because he doesn't want to break anything.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
*Ahem.* Allow me to take you back to how you first met:
You were at work and Dazai happened to run into you there while you were closing up. You had to work after hours and you were exhausted, but nobody else was able to cover for you, so this is what you had to deal with until you were able to hire somebody else. And that's when Dazai heard you mutter something under your breath; "If my job's trying to kill me, they've already won." Dazai was grinning like an idiot now as he ran up to you with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Hello, miss," he said, "I couldn't help but overhear what you said just now. Do you by any chance want to commit a double suicide with me?"
You sat there, dumbfounded, before you finally spoke. "Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I want to quite yet."
You watched as his smile turned into a pout.
"Please, miss," he begged. "I've been looking for someone for years, I don't want to die alone."
"I never said you had to," you chuckled. "I'm as sick of my life as you are, seeing how eager you are to end it. But I don't want to quite yet. Maybe someday, though."
His smile came back as he began to walk out the door. "And I love you for that," he joked. "Maybe someday we can finally do that double suicide, then!~"
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Dazai rarely gets jealous because he's usually the one goofing off with women. Only, once he's in a relationship, he knows his limits and he wouldn't dream of passing them. If someone were flirting with you, or being a little too friendly and/or comfortable with you, I see Dazai being the real-life version of the "walking down the street with my scary dog" trend. Really, all he has to do to get them to back off is bark glare at them like he's plotting their murder.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Dazai's kisses can be pretty rough. You don't usually like to kiss him unless you're at home because he likes to leave marks on your neck. But for him, he likes it when you kiss his lips because he thinks your taste is addicting.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
I only have a few things to say; children are scared of him, and he is scared of children.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Speaking from personal experience (because my sister's boyfriend is a literal irl Dazai) he either won't get out of bed until after noon, or he's up early being Dazai, trying to find ways to khs while he's jamming out to music that talks about death.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Same thing as mornings, but he does it all in bed while he's trying to sleep. So don't be surprised if he has headphones on listening to disturbing music while he sleeps.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
I'm lazy and have no idea what to add, so all I gotta say is he's pretty slow when it comes to sharing things with other people.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Not very. I mean, he could seriously be face-to-face with all of his worst enemies and act like nothing happened. I know y'all have seen it. It's pretty obvious. We've all seen him around Chuuya acting like he wasn't being screamed at. Or when you first meet Akutagawa and he just shows up and erases their abilities as if they weren't trying to kill each other two minutes ago.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He remembers pretty much everything. From the name of the fish that died when you were a child, to your favorite foods, it's not very easy to forget about these things.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
I have a few ideas. Like that one time you took him out for a picnic and he got bored and stated playfully putting flowers in your hair.
Or this other time where he tried teaching you to balance a spoon on your nose and you somehow managed to accidentally poke yourself in the eye with the spoon.
Or that one time. . . okay I'll stop now
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Very protective. Not in a "I don't want you to live your own life" kind of way, but in more of a "I'd kms if anything happened to you" kind of way. The best way he can protect you is to either be with you, or have somebody else with you. Not in a weird "I have to know where you are at all times" kind of way, but he just wants to be aware if anything were to happen to you. Again, he likes it most when he's around you.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
He puts in enough effort to make things enjoyable, but everything is cute and simple.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Well, the ammount of suicide mentions this post has says a lot.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Not very, actually. It doesn't hurt him to dress up for special occasions and date nights, but other than that it doesn't matter to him too much.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Yes. You were his only way out. If anything happened to you he'd be lost and have no idea what to do anymore.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
He tends to talk in his sleep sometimes. Sometimes it's scary and it keeps you up at night. But there's also a 50/50 chance that he sleeps like a baby. And the only other thing I can think of adding to this one is Crab.

WORK WIFE
[Edward Nashton x Male Reader]
Chapter 6- Do They Deserve a Chance?
Words: 1692
Warnings: None
You’re barely awake when you hear your phone vibrate. The light of your phone is bright and you squint, reading the notification.
Edward: Do you want to go to the pet store with me?
You rub your eyes and yawn, trying to remember how to put words together. Normally you prefer to sleep in on the weekends but it seems like that won’t be the case today. Amaia had invited you to lunch with her, Olivia, Jocelyn, and Estelle but you’d take any chance to hang out with Edward.
Y/N: I’m going to lunch with some people but we can go after
Edward: That works.
You and Edward decide that he will pick you up from the restaurant and go to the pet store from there.
Y/N: Why do you want to go btw?
Edward: I need to look at cages.
Not bothering to ask any more questions, you get up and take a shower. The warm water helps you wake up and you get dressed, making a cup of coffee and sitting down to watch TV until Olivia picks you up.
Eventually, Olivia arrives and brings you to the restaurant where the other girls are already there. The normal anxiety fills you but you try to suppress it. It’s the same as when you went out with them that one Friday, but this time you don’t have alcohol to calm your nerves. Praying that you’ll be able to relax eventually, you coach yourself through your reactions and participation in the conversation.
Luckily you are able to calm yourself and before you know it, Edward sends you a text saying he was there. You had mentioned hanging out with Edward after lunch, and of course, Olivia teased you for it. The girls all agreed with Olivia, insisting that Edward definitely had feelings for you. You just laughed nervously when they said that, quickly changing the subject.
Saying goodbye to everyone, you step outside and see Edward parked by the door. He waves to you and you get in his car, beginning the usual “how are you” conversation.
Edward still doesn’t address the conversation from Monday, but you don’t mind. You’re not sure what you would even say if he did. Instead, you settle into talking about work with him, discussing what he’s been doing and complaining about your shitty boss. Finally, you reach the pet store and you’re a bit excited. It had been a while since you had been in one and you want to see the critters they have. You quickly walk inside, Edward following. The first thing you do is make a beeline to where the animals are, looking at all the hamsters. 
“I feel so bad for all the animals locked up in here. Bred to live in cages, to sit pretty until they get adopted or die. They never had a chance.” You say sadly, looking at the ferrets.
“Do they deserve a chance?” Edward asks quietly.
“Of course they do.” You turn to him, confused. “Everyone deserves a chance. You, me, every living thing on this earth deserves it. Whether or not they get a chance isn’t up to us, but I think everyone should.” 
Edward looks a little sad at that. You can see tears forming in his eyes but he coughs and abruptly walks away before you can say anything further. You’re a bit concerned but brush it off and make your way to the cat room. 
What feels like a few minutes but was probably closer to half an hour later, you hear footsteps behind you.
“You ready to-“ Edward is cut off when he sees you kneeling on the floor, sobbing.
“Wh- are you okay? Y/N?” Edward squats down and touches your shoulder.
“They are just so so perfect. They are babies and did nothing wrong. They deserve good homes and good food and good people…I just want them to be happy.” You blubber, feeling overwhelmed. Edward looks stunned, opening his mouth to say something but changes his mind. Instead, he sits next to you on the floor and you bury your head into his shoulder, still crying. You sit like that for a minute before managing to stop your sobs and standing up. You offer a hand to Edward, who accepts it and you pull him up.
“Are you alright?” He says, gently placing a hand on your shoulder.
“Yeah, sorry about that. My cat died a couple months ago so I’m a bit sensitive about animals. I still have all his old stuff in the back of my closet.” You say, wiping the tears from your face.
“I’m so sorry Y/N,” Edwards says and you nod. 
“Thank you. Are you ready to go?” You ask.
“Yeah, if you are,” Edward says and you nod, leading the way to the exit and walking to Edward’s car.
Edward’s phone connects to the radio and he starts talking excitedly about the first song that plays, explaining the meaning and the history of the band. You’re genuinely interested in what he’s saying, listening attentively and reacting in real-time, unlike many other conversations with other people. After Edward’s done explaining, you sit in silence for a little bit, fidgeting with your hands in your lap. You start to yawn and bring one hand up to cover your mouth, conveniently right as Edward was reaching for it. Instead, his hand falls on your thigh and when you look over at him, he looks embarrassed. For a second it seems like he is going to pull it away but commits to the action and ever so slightly tightens his grasp. 
“Oh, I forgot to ask if you want me to drop you off.” Edward says after a while, breaking the silence.
“I mean we can hang out longer if you want.” You say, hoping he does.
“Sure, we can watch a movie at my apartment or something.” 
“Sounds good.”
Eventually, you pull into his apartment complex and make your way up to his apartment, glad that the second time you’re here you’re not incredibly intoxicated. Edward unlocks the door and leads you in, noticing that it’s a bit messier than last time.
“Oh, sorry. I forgot to clean up.” Edward winces a bit and you just shake your head.
“Nah, I totally get it. I need to clean too.” Edward seems a bit comforted at the statement and you take a seat on the couch. It takes both of you a minute to decide what movie to watch, but  eventually settle on an old sci-fi movie.
“Do you always keep it this cold, Edward?” You ask after a few minutes, wrapping the blanket around yourself.
“Oh, I forgot to pay my heating bill. It has been quite cold, I’m sorry.”
“I’m more concerned about you, aren’t you cold?”
“A little. It’s fine though.” Edward shrugs. You pull the blanket off one shoulder and hold an arm out, offering some to Edward. He starts to say no when you raise your eyebrows, silently insisting. He sighs and scoots closer to you, letting you lay the blanket across his shoulders.
“Thanks, Y/N.” He says, pulling it further around him. You smile at him and turn back to the TV. 
A little bit of time passes and you decide to lay your head on Edward’s shoulder. Despite never having done it before, the movement feels so natural. Edward tenses a little at the sudden contact but doesn’t react otherwise. After a few seconds, his hand slowly reaches over to grab yours. His movement is hesitant so you take action and slide your hand into his. 
The rest of the movie continues and you’re fighting sleep most of the time. Edward is so warm and you could feel your eyes fluttering shut, but before you actually fall asleep Edward speaks.
“That was a good movie.” He comments. You didn’t even realize that the movie ended but raise your head up, trying to blink away the sleepiness.
“Yeah, I liked it.” You turn to Edward and smile, seeing his face flush a little bit. You squeeze his hand once before letting go and stretching your arms out. The blanket slips off as you do and the cold air immediately hits, causing goosebumps. Quickly pulling the blanket back around your self, you cuddle up next to Edward.
“Dude, it’s so cold. How do you handle this?”
“I just wear a lot of layers.” He says, slowly reaching his arm around your shoulder. You try and gather as much of his warmth as possible before your eyelids become heavy again.
“Ugh, I should probably leave soon. I’m about to fall asleep.” You say, pulling away from Edward and starting to take off the blanket before he stops you.
“Stay here, I’ll get you a jacket.” He stands up and wraps the blanket around you, disappearing into his room and coming back with a black hoodie. You gladly put it on and are immediately surrounded by the smell of Edward’s cologne. Finally dragging yourself off the couch and putting your shoes on, Edward is waiting at the door. 
You make your way outside and in Edward’s car, where it is a bit cold but not nearly as much as it was in his apartment. As he pulls out of his parking lot, you reach your hand out and he gladly takes it. The action has become so familiar but the butterflies in your stomach never seem to disappear.
“Here, let me-” When Edward pulls up to the front of your apartment complex, you start to take off his sweatshirt but he stops you.
“That’s alright, you keep it.” 
“Oh, okay.” You say, surprised. Unbuckling your seatbelt and opening the door, you smile and wave to Edward before turning and going into your apartment. 
Today was so much better than you could have expected, every day with Edward feels more unreal. You’re too nervous to really make a move, for no real reason, as Edward has been reciprocating all of your actions. Something still holds you back, but you hope you will get the chance to at least say something soon.

summary: rule 1 is have a good time, rule 2 is dont invite jeno. sadly, the latter was not abided by and now the boys have 3 kids on the way, 1 failed engagement, and 2 money laundering schemes (allegedly)
alternatively: jeno rolls “worst joint ever” asked to leave marks grandmothers basement
Tumblr media
“hey baby, can you give me a paw? no? that’s okay. mark! where do you keep the cat treats?” jeno asked. and there he was, menance of the hour, squat down beside one of the cats mark was supposed to be watching.
~ impromptu text so tumblr isn’t annoying ~
~ impromptu text so tumblr isn’t annoying ~
jeno wasn’t supposed to be here. he had read the notification over your shoulder before you had noticed he was even there and went, “oh? sesh at marks tonight?” you didn’t have the heart to tell him he wasn’t invited but chenles look of disapproval when he saw jeno following you into the basement was almost enough to make you wish you did.
in normal scenarios none of you had anything against jeno, in fact you all loved jeno. he was a regular boy next door type, the kind of guy who would change a flat tire for you or tell you that he’s not mad he’s just disappointed if you ever wronged him. mark wanted to add that jeno was also the kind of guy who would respectfully decline a full inclusive trip to florida with someone’s grandmother UNLIKE OTHER PEOPLE HE KNOWS.
but that was all sober jeno. stoned jeno was another story. stoned jeno was scary. and each and every single person in that room was trying to think of a way to get him out of there.
“uhh yeah i think there’s some on the kitchen counter if you want to check,” mark informed jeno on the location of the cat treats and jeno nodded, he stood up and brushed off his knees with a small smile.
“you coming with me, baby?” jeno asked the cat who promptly ignored him and licked at its paws but when he began to walk back upstairs the cat followed after him.
as soon as the door shut behind them, you all looked up at eachother.
“do we lock it?” chenle asked, and you can see everyone silently consider the option. would it be rude to lock jeno upstairs? probably. would it save you a lot of trouble that night? definitely.
“no, that would be mean,” jisung frowned and placed his hands beneath his thighs, leaning forward, much to renjuns discontent.
“who cares about being mean?” donghyuck fought back, “this is a matter of survival, life or death.”
“don’t be dramatic,” you rolled your eyes but that turned the entire room against you, you should have stayed quiet.
“how can you even-“ donghyuck paused and closed his eyes, taking a breath to calm himself, “i cant believe you brought him here.”
“he saw the notification! what else was i supposed to do?“ you whisper yelled and before an eruption of voices could respond chenle cut them off.
“we don’t have time to argue about this, he’ll be back any second,” chenle reminded, “rock, paper, scissors. who ever wins gets to choose what we do.”
the basement unanimously agreed this was a good call. it went on 4 rounds until donghyuck won.
“we lock him out,” donghyuck decided without hesitation.
“go do it then,” mark nudged him, trying to get him off the couch but he didnt budge.
“me?” donghyuck looked scandalized, hugging a needlepoint cushion to his chest, “you do it, you’re closer.”
“barely?!”
“i don’t want to be the bad guy!”
“but you are!”
the basement door opened and jeno returned, catless, “sorry i took forever, there’s four whole cats up there, also! i grabbed a lighter, i wasn’t sure if we had one but we do now-“ jeno stopped on the steps, noticing everyone staring at him (minus donghyuck who was groaning into the cushion he had his face buried in), “what were you guys talking about?” he tilted his head slightly to the side.
so much for that plan.

concerned prompt 1 with the most depressing au you have pls
If we’re going by overall idea of the au I think sick au is the most depressing but if we’re judging by just amount of depressing prompts within the au I think it’s alt breakup au or regular breakup au bc I’m sure almost all those prompts are depressing so I picked that one <3
1. “Baby, please respond.”
——
Rosé sat in the airport, on his way to some city he didn’t remember the name of. He should’ve been listening to the voice overhead listing departure and arrival times, but he couldn’t focus on anything except the growing pit in his stomach as he stared at his phone waiting for it to flash to life with a text from Denali.
Throughout the day, the pit in Rosé’s stomach grew and grew as his phone remained either silent or loud with notifications from everyone but Denali.
Rosé
11:23am: Hey, baby, I’m getting on my flight soon. Can I call you? I miss your voice 💗
12:10pm: Are you asleep?
2:15pm: Just landed, I don’t even know what city I’m in😫 miss you, call me when you wake up please?
5:15pm: Nali??
5:30pm:I’m getting worried. Are you ok?
5:44pm: I’m serious, please just tell me you’re ok.
5:55pm: baby, please respond.
6:15pm: I’m coming home.
Rosé was about to switch his flight when his phone lit up with a call from Denali, a surge of relief rushing through him.
Before he could speak, Denali let out a low whimper. “Please don’t.”
“Baby, what are you-?”
“Don’t come home.”
“Why? Where were you all day?”
Denali whispered, sniffling heavily. “I was-I was asleep.”
“You were asleep all day?”
“Most of it,” Denali shrugged.
Rosé sighed. “Are you okay? It doesn’t sound like you’re okay.”
“I’m okay. I’m just-“
“Sad?”
Rosé could hear him take a heaving breath on the other line, a clear sign he was trying his hardest to not show he was crying. He wished more than anything he could teleport home.
“Yeah.”
“I’m sorry, baby. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I-I don’t know, I didn’t want to upset you. I thought maybe I would feel better.”
Rosé hated the sound of Denali’s crying in person, but over the phone slightly broken up it broke his heart even more, another painful reminder he wasn’t able to hold Denali at the moment.
“Honey, I’m so sorry but I’m coming home. You’re not okay.”
“I am! I am! I’m sorry!”
“Denali,” Rosé said firmly, though he was trying not to cry himself, “why don’t you want me coming home? What’s going on?”
“N-nothing’s going on! I just refuse to be the reason you lose everything. It’s not fair to you,” Denali hiccuped.
“Baby, you’ve got to breathe, take a deep breath for me, baby. Come on.”
Coaching him through breathing, Rosé was quick to change his flight from his phone, his new flight home just a few hours away. Once he thought Denali was stable enough, his breathing returning to almost normal, he spoke quietly and softly. “Baby, I’m sorry, but I’m coming home, okay? I don’t want you to be alone right now, my flight is in a couple hours so I should be home by morning. Can you stay safe for me until then, baby?”
Guilt stabbed Denali in the chest, but he answered truthfully. “If I stay asleep.”
Rosé’s stomach ached painfully at his response, wishing there was a way he could have eyes on Denali at all times without making him feel uncomfortable. “You can stay safe if you stay asleep? Is that right?”
“Yeah,” Denali whimpered.
“Okay, I want you to go back to sleep then if that’s the case. I’m gonna pay for Wi-Fi on the flight so as soon as you’re awake I want you to text me, okay? You can even send random gifs or an iMessage game to play if you don’t want to talk, I just need to know you’re okay. Can you do that for me?”
“Okay,” he replied, exhaustion in every breath.
“Good, that’s good, baby. I love you, see you in a few hours?”
“Yeah,” Denali sniffed, “see you in a few hours. I love you too, by the way.”
The line went silent, leaving Rosé to his own devices, resting his head in his hand and lamenting to the fact that he couldn’t make everything better all at once.

Heyo Fairy!! I hope your day/night/evening/morning/afternoon is going amazingly, and that you never forget that you are that bitch! (Affectionate, obv) Seriously, I remember when I first started having these "darker" thoughts about characters and I was like 'What the fuck is wrong with me?' and then years later, I find your and Rhi's blog. Y'all let me realize that it's perfectly normal to think these things, even if those who don't, or deny that they do, think otherwise. So, seriously, thank you, y'all mean so, so, SO MUCH to me! Like big sisters that help me see there's nothing wrong with me, even if people I know irl would say "wtf?" 🥹
Ahhh, sorry, that was so fucking sappy! 🫣 I just wanted to ya know that it really does mean a lot to people like me, and your other followers, that y'all are brave enough to post the things you do despite all the little bitches that try and tear y'all down 🥹
... That was sappy again 🤦🏻‍♀️ y'know what, what the fuck ever, I'm just a soft person when it comes to emotions and shit, I'll deal with it 😤
That all being said, I can't belIEVE it took me this long to comment on 2 of Cups! Okay, so, when part 1, and 2, came out, I had no idea who Rin and Sae were. I didn't even know what Blue Lock was, just that it's a manga/anime. I was like oh, okay, cool! I read part one anyway, and was all like "... I gotta watch this. If the anime isn't out yet, I gotta watch it as soon as it DOES come out." (I'm an anime only, because I almost always give characters the exact same voice if I have nothing to go off of 😒 I struggle with it fr fr. anYWAY—) So, I don't... Think? I'd read part 2 yet, tbh I think I completely forgot about it, the memory is NOT good, I'm so sorry! So when the anime DID come out, I wasn't actually aware 😅 until they uploaded episode, like... 10? Or 11? Of the English Dub? AnywAY! THE POINT Is, I started watching because of things I've read, I was TIRED of looking up every single character when I read about them 😭 SO, I watched, got caught up to where it is now, and am waiting for the next episode, and you mention 2 of Cups part 3 is coming out, and I was like "oH SHIT, I REMEMBER READING PART 1!" So, I went back, read parts 1 and 2, absolutely ADORED them, despite the pain 🥹 Like, Rin's pining, but not wanting to do anything because of SAE, that little bitch, that won't admit he's the sAME and keeps being an AsS when Rea-chan and Rin are even remotely affectionate, AaAAAAHHHH! And I was so exCITED for part 3! And then part 3 came out, and... It absolutely bLEW MY IMAGINATION OUT OF THE PARK, LIKE!! !! I dunno, what I was expecting to happen, but I'm so happy it went the way it did! I mean, yeah, sure, it hURT, what with Sae continuing to be an ass, and RIn, poor rIN! Sweet baby, he's so! I can't even begin to espresso how in absolute awe I'm in of this mASTERPIECE! It keeps me up at night, thinking about it, and about what may happen next. Like, did Sae go back to, I think it was... Spain? Did he just go somewhere else for the time being, and he'll be back? Will Rin give in to his fantasies? Will he be soft and gentle if he does? Would he absolutely destroy Rea-chan with his roughness? Would he start off gentle, and then lose it?
So many questions, but I can wait to have them answered; I know you work incredibly hard, and that writing really takes time 🥰 PLUS, we can't have you not sleeping! The Queen of Fairies needs her sleep, she must rest and take care of herself 🥺 Love you much, take care!! 🥰
Tumblr media

#I said what’s the worst that could happen#and the universe showed me the tip of the iceberg#I was bored and I wasn’t thinking when I decided that dating again maybe was a good idea#because it had been a while and I had a lot of time to do whatever I wanted and I said hey#this person seems nice so let’s try this out#only to realize they were manipulating me every second we spent together and somehow I was the one to blame when I said enough#but I’m weak and dumb and I don’t know how to properly set boundaries and say no#or even stand up for myself so the tip of the iceberg started getting bigger and bigger#and suddenly I was being horribly manipulated and I didn’t know what to do or what to say and everythit was wrong wrong wrong#I was trapped and I felt so alone even when I had a lot of people on my side#eventually I found an excuse in college in covid in fear but it wasn’t enough to keep them away#and I’m weak so I can’t delete them from my social media because I feel guilty and like it’s somehow unwarranted#and that’s why I’m always alone alone alone because I don’t know how to say not how to set boundaries how to stand up for myself#so people see my weaknesses and they exploit them and take advantage and manipulate me and guilt trip me into coming back#because surely I won’t be able to resist if you’re using my vulnerabilities against me#and my friends say I don’t own anyone shit and that it’s okay to cut this person off from my life because I come first#and no baby it’s not normal to cry every time you get a notification that they still react to your post#but I’m dumb and stupid and weak and for the love of god please leave me alone#and now it’s the middle of the night and my friends are sleep and there’s no one around to tell me fuck it#I’m scared and I don’t know what to do and I’m so unbelievably tired of feeling like this#please just leave me alone

Coming Home: Part One
Andrew!Peter Parker x Wife!Reader
Coming Home Masterlist
Main Masterlist
SPIDERMAN: NO WAY HOME SPOILERS BELOW!!!
A/N: Okay, now that that's out of the way, it was so much fun writing this fic! No Way Home awakened my Andrew Garfield obsession that's laid dormant for YEARS!! Anyways, I hope you like it. I do not own any other characters other than (y/n) and little Ben.
Summary: When (y/n)’s husband goes on patrol one night and doesn't come back, she starts to worry. Little does she know, he's not even in the same dimension as her and their son.
Warnings: slight angst, you might die of fluff poisoning
(y/n) - your name
(y/l/n) - your last name
(y/n/n) - your nickname
(y/h/c) - your hair color
Tumblr media
With every minute that passed, (y/n)'s worry grew and grew. When Peter had left to go on patrol earlier, she kissed him goodbye and told him to be careful like normal. He was always home by 2 in the morning, but he was nowhere to be found. Every now and then, he would be out later, but he always send his loving wife a text saying he'd be home late.
(Y/n) had woken up at 3am to go coddle Ben, her and Peter's 6 month old baby, to find an empty bed beside her. Her heart rate picked up slightly as she quickly turned over and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. At first glance, she didn't see a text notification, so she went and double checked every way they communicated. The young woman was known for having a level head and not getting stressed out like many others did. At this situation, though, fear shot through her heart like a bullet, and stress overtook her.
She was about to call Peter but Ben let out a wail, and she was reminded that she needed to get him back to sleep before trying to find Pete. It's what he would want. Walking into Ben's small, red and blue nursery decorated with Spiderman decorations, (y/n)'s vision blurred with tears. She picked up Ben and placed him on her chest.
“It’s okay, sweetheart. Mommy’s here.”
After a few minutes of rocking him softly in her arms, he slowly fell asleep. (Y/n) gently placed him back down in the crib and quietly left the room, flicking off the light. When she closed the door, a terrible thought popped in her head.
'If something happened, it would be on tv, right?'
Running to the living room with light footsteps, she frantically grabbed the remote and turned on the Daily Bugle. JJ Jameson hated Peter, well, Spiderman, so if anything had happened to New York's resident web-slinger, he would surely be celebrating. To her relief, the headline was the average, "Spiderman: Hero or Menace," that was a constant with Jameson. She let out a shaky breath she didn't know she had been holding.
She started to pace around the room, thinking of what to do next. Whipping out her phone, she called Peter with a hopeful heart. With every ring that passed, her hope began to dissipate. When she got to his voicemail, dread washed over her.
"Hey, this is Peter Parker. I can't come to the phone right now, but just leave me a message and I'll get back with you sooner than you can say Spidey."
It warmed her heart to hear his soothing voice. With a deep breath, she waited for the beep.
"Hey, Pete. It's me. I'm worried sick about you. Where are you? Are you okay? I-Please, please, call me back when you get this, Peter. Ben and I love you. So much."
After calling 4 times and getting voicemail repeatedly, she sank into the couch with a strangled sigh. With everything going on in her mind, she let her composure go for once. So, (Y/n) Parker laid on the couch, crying into her husband's favorite sweatshirt, praying that he'd soon come through the window, and not found in some alleyway.
While his loving wife was crying back at home, Peter was wandering a city that looked like his New York, but was very different at the same time. There was crazy technology that he had never seen before, and as a nerd for all things science, he was obsessed. Swinging into an alleyway, he glanced behind him and saw something that topped the list of weird things he had seen that day: a sparkly circle who's inside looked like an apartment. When the people inside started calling his name, he was even more surprised.
As he walked towards it, he recognized one of the people he loved the most: (y/n). Walking through the portal, he pulled off his mask as he walked and engulfed her in a bone-crushing hug.
"Where's Ben?"
He should've realized that this was not his wife based on the reaction of her and the other people in the room. Her arms were rigid by her sides and the teenagers were yelling at him.
"Whoa, mister. You're not Peter."
"Yeah, I have a boyfriend," (y/n) started. "And who is Ben?"
Backing away slowly, he took in his surroundings. There were two teenagers, a grandma, and (y/n). As he looked at her again, he realized that she too, was a teenager. His eyes widened at this, and memories of them together in high school flashed in his eyes. This was (y/n), but it was not his (y/n). The old woman screamed.
"Hi. Hi." he waved nervously. To his amusement, she threw a pillow at him. "No, no, no. It's okay. It's okay. I'm a nice guy."
"Who the hell are you?" asked a tall girl beside the dinner table.
"MJ! Be nice." (y/n) scolded, and Peter felt comforted by her voice, but also reminded him that she as home waiting for him, probably worried sick.
"(Y/n)! This guy shows up dressed like your boyfriend and our best friend, so I don't know how I'm supposed to be nice." MJ exclaimed.
Peter had to suppress a smirk that threatened to form on his face. (Y/n) and Spiderman were together in this world as well.
"It's okay. I'm Peter Parker."
Their heads whipped to each other with confused expressions before looking back at him.
"No way. You're not Peter."
"I'm Spiderman in my world. But then yesterday, I was...just here. Look, I have my wife and son that I need to get back to."
Their piercing looks softened at his confession. He was lost in a place that was familiar but foreign to him at the same time. (Y/n) was confused by his hug minutes earlier. She wondered why he acted like that if he had a wife at home. (Y/n), being blunt as she was, asked him about it.
"If you have a wife back home, why'd you flip out and hug me?"
The older man let out a chuckle at the similarities between the girl in front of him and the woman he came home to each day. "Funny story, actually. You're (y/n) (y/l/n)."
Her brows furrowed in confusion. "How do you know that?"
"Well, in my world, you're (y/n) Parker, my wife. You look exactly like she did when we started dating about 10 years ago." He says with a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his neck.
She stared at him in thought, and he could see the gears turning in her mind. His smile widened when she began pacing around the room, a habit his (y/n) had too.
"Sting theory, multidimensional reality, and matter displacement. All real?" Peter asked with wide eyes at his realization.
"Yeah." they agreed.
Pumping his fist wildly, "I knew it! Just wait til' I tell (y/n/n)." he exclaimed.
They all looked at each other again, but this time, they looked surprised. "What did you call her?" The boy asked for the first time.
"Uhh, (y/n/n). Why?"
(Y/n) spoke up. "Because my Peter is the only one who calls me that."
~
Since his introduction to Ned, MJ, and this world's (y/n), he had met two other Peter Parkers that were also Spiderman. This world's Peter, labeled Peter 1, filled him and Peter 2, on what was going on and that a few of the villains they defeated were back.
Peter told the other two about Doc Connors and about the cure he had created for the man all those years ago. Before he knew it, they were in a lab, each working on something to save the man they were fighting for the second time. He glanced over and saw Peter 1 and (y/n) talking softly as she comfortingly rubbed his arm. A sweet smile grew on his face, and he turned back to his work, trying not to spy on their obviously private moment.
A few minutes later, Peter 1 walked up to him. "So I heard you're married to (y/n) in your world."
His smile widened at the thought of her. Dang, he missed (y/n)’s smiling face, even if he got to see it here too, it wasn't the same. He also missed the way she'd hold Ben when he was crying, whispering sweet nothings into his ear.
"Yeah. She's the love of my life."
"Me too." he agreed, glancing over to his (y/n) across the room.
"It's worth it."
"What is?" He asked with a furrowed brow.
"All this. All the crap you have to go through being a hero. It's all worth it when you get to go home and see her smiling face when you walk through the door at the end of the day. When she's holding your child...It's all worth it."
The man didn't realize he had tears in his eyes until Ned wheeled over on a rolling stool, offering a tissue.
"Been keeping these closeby today," he said kindly.
Peter chuckled lightly, pulling one out of the box. "Thanks, man."
~
The fighting was finally over, and as much as he enjoyed meeting the other Peter's, he was more than ready to be home. The Peters all shared a group hug before the foreign ones disappeared back to their dimensions with a smile. In the blink of an eye, Peter was back in his New York. With breakneck speed, he swung across the city to his and (y/n)'s apartment. Quietly sliding open the window and crawling in, his heart broke at the sight before him.
(Y/n) was asleep, sitting on the floor beside the window with tear-stained cheeks. He pulled out his phone, which was finally working, and checked his messages and the date. It had been a day and a half since he had disappeared. He also had 20 missed calls and texts from her. Cursing softly, he went to pick her up and carry her to their bed, but was cut off by the beginnings of a cry from Ben.
Opening Ben's door, he smiled at the face of his baby boy. He had (y/n)’s (y/h/c) hair, but other than that, he looked like a carbon copy of Peter. He picked him up and sat in the rocking chair in the corner rubbing his back soothingly, trying to coax him back to sleep.
"It's alright, buddy. Daddy's here." he cooed.
This was all he ever wanted in life, and he hoped that the youngest Peter would get it, too. Having an amazing wife and child was the best thing that ever happened to him; 100 times better than becoming Spiderman. If he had to choose, he would easily choose (y/n) and Ben.
Before long, Ben had fallen back asleep and Peter placed him back in his crib, ready to be with his wife. Walking back into their room, she was in the exact same position as before. He picked her up bridal style, careful not to wake her, and placed her in their bed. Quickly taking off his suit, he changed into some comfortable shorts, and slid into bed beside her.
She subconsciously snuggled up to his chest, making his heart melt. He put his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, pulling the covers over them. The motion caused (y/n) to stir and open her eyes slightly.
"Peter?" She asked sleepily.
"Yeah, it's me."
Still half asleep, she peered up at him, rubbing his bruised cheek with her soft hand. Tears filled her eyes.
"I was so worried," she whispered. "I thought something happened to you...where were you, Peter?"
Placing his hand over her's, he replied. "I'm okay. I'll explain everything in the morning."
Her eyes began to flutter shut, and he could tell how exhausted she looked as she slurred, "'kay. love you."
"I love you, too, sweetheart."
As Peter Parker closed his eyes, his own exhaustion hit him and he began to drift off as he lovingly rubbed his wife’s hair. His super-hearing allowed him to listen to steady beat of his (y/n)'s heart; his home. He was finally home.

{this show was off the walls. He looked so good. And the energy was just??}
You stood uncomfortably at your flights gate with Harry. After being with Harry for five shows, your anxiety had reached a peak leaving you to be faced with one of your worst panic attacks before the St. Louis show. Harry didn’t want you to feel so much mental pressure so he suggested that you go home, he even bought you a ticket without consulting with you.
Your shoulders were tense as you stood rigid next to Harry. You were beyond upset and sad. You felt like a burden who being sent away to make everyone else feel better.
“Love, it will be ok. I’ll see you in two weeks for the Nashville show.” Harry comments watching your face scrunch up withholding the tears. “I just want you to see your therapist for a few days.”
“I don’t wanna go. It was one panic attack. Ive done fine every other night and on the bus.” You huff not making eye contact with Harry. “You’re just sending me away.”
Harry feels his heart break in two. “That’s not-“
“We are now welcoming our first class passengers.” He was cut off by the attendant. You grab your duffle on the ground, opening your phone to the electronic ticket. You moved to get in the line but Harry was quick to grab your arm to stop you. You couldn’t stop the tears from welling in your eyes at the look of hurt on his face.
“You’re not even gonna say goodbye?” He whispers.
“Why should I? You said it for me when you purchased the ticket without even talking to me about it. I’ll call you when I land, I love you and goodbye.” You snatched your arm away, rushing to the slowly growing line of passengers.
Harry watched in defeat as you trudged onto the bridge that boarded onto the plane. You felt those traitorous tears push past the surface, your feet feeling like they were dragging behind you- wanting you to go back to your heart.
The entire flight home was painful. All hours spent on the flight looking lifelessly out of the window. Harry put you in first class but none of the comfortable perks could make you happy.
It was weird to walk back into your home with no one there walking in with you or even waiting for you. The house was dark and quiet and you felt scared to even be in the stupid beach side mansion all alone. Times like this made you regret moving in with Harry. This house only felt like home when he was there, any other time felt like your own personal solitary confinement.
Hey lovie, hope you’re flight went well. Having groceries delivered to the house for you. I love you and miss you. Xxx H.
You scoffed. That anger from before bubbling within you. He misses you? You left him on read, the pettiness easing the anger.
Harry’s eyebrows shot up at the small read notification under his sent message. He waited a few moments thinking maybe you just forgot to press send. Minutes turned to hours and hours turned into the next day.
You sat at the dining room table watching the waves eat up the sand and pull granules away at a time. Your laptop sat in front of you after you finished a telehealth therapy appointment. A ring sounded from the laptop signaling that someone was FaceTiming you.
Harry’s icon popped up in the corner of the screen. You hesitated before answering. You couldn’t bare to look at yourself in the camera knowing you looked a mess. Your eyes swollen from the sobbing during therapy. Harry thought you looked beautiful nonetheless.
“Good morning baby.” He broke the silence.
“Hi.” Was all you could muster. This wasn’t the two of you. You both would normally fill a space with sound and giggles and now it was just silence.
“How did you sleep?” He asks. He looked as disheveled as you. Hair messy, face red and puffy.
“Fine.” You didn’t look at him, playing with the frayed edges of your Live on Tour hoodie. Harry huffed in frustration.
“Is this how it will be from now on?” He snapped. Your head snapped up out of shock.
“You’re getting at me like somethings my fault!” You snapped back.
“Well, we didn’t leave on the right foot.”
“You sent me away!” You retaliate.
“No, I did not. You had a panic attack before I went on stage. I had to come on stage late because I was consoling you.”
You flinched at his comment and tone of voice.
“So it’s my fault? I can’t control the panic attacks. It wasn’t like I conjured one up for attention.” His lack of response broke you. “Really?”
“No, I don’t think you did it for attention but it’s a lot Y/N. I want to take you on tour with me but it’s a lot for me and you know it’s a lot for you.” He tries. His words hurt though. You’ve felt like a burden your entire life and to feel that way because of the love of your life hurts even more.
“Ok. Um, I have to go.” You choke out. Harry shakes his head, the weight of his words catching up with you.
“I didn’t mean it in that way. I love you and I only want to protect you.”
“Yeah, protect me by sending me away when things get tough. I’m sorry for being a burden Harry.” You hang up before he could get the last word in.
Harry sat on his hotel bed shocked. He doesn’t know how things escalated the way they did. He made her feel like a burden. His body racks with sobs as he thinks of how his love must be feeling.
The day of Harry’s Philly show you felt uneasy. You didn’t like not being with Harry. You got so used to your preshow rituals with him. It hurt to be left out after being so involved.
Harry felt the same way. His regret evident in the way that he couldn’t stop blowing up your phone with short apologies and messages. He woke up alone in the hotel room on the day of a show feeling like utter crap.
His stomach was in knots and his heart couldn’t stop pounding. Normally before a show you both would share a light meal and have small discussions about nothing. You both would take silly selfies together or watch tiktoks. But now it was just Harry.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket, impulsively clicking your contact to face time.
“Pick up, pick up, pick up…” He mutters. He lets out a sigh of relief when your face reveals.
“Hi, Harry.” You murmur, your face squished into a pillow, his pillow because it smells good.
“Hi-hi baby.” He stutters fidgeting in his seat.
“What do you need?”
“I need you. You’re not a burden. I want you here, not there but here. I have a show in a few hours and all I can think about is how you’re not here with me.” He cries. You sit up in the bed, tearing up watching your boyfriend cry. His shoulders shook with the sobs that wracked through his chest.
“Harry, please breathe. Your gonna hurt yourself.” You try to calm him down but can tell it’s not working.
“Come back.” He whimpers.
“I-I think I’m going to stay home until Nashville. We both need a breather from each other and I know I need to see my psychiatrist and probably get some new anxiety medication. Which will take the two weeks to kick in you know?” You reason. Harry wiped his face of tears nodding understandingly.
“Ok. I miss you though. I fucked up horribly by making you feel less than. I know you’re not a burden and I’d do anything for you. The stress of tour is starting to weigh on me and I took it out in you when I shouldnt have. I also thought I was keeping you safe by sending you home, but I shouldn’t have done that. Because we are a team, I shouldn’t be making choices for you.”
“Thank you for apologizing. I understand why you did what you did. You were trying to protect me, I know. I love you Bubby.” Harry felt his world come back together at the nickname, a signal that you two would be alright. “You have a show in like three hours, you need to get ready. Eat some food, drink water please, and I’ll go and scroll through TikTok and send you all of my faves ok?”
“Ok. Thank you for being everything to me. I couldn’t do what I do today if I didn’t have you in my life.” Harry’s sincerity made your heart swell.
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. We will be alright. Now go!” You urged him to hang up the phone. He gave you one last smile before hanging up.
Watching Harry through some Instagram live wasn’t what you had planned for but it felt good to see him. He even wore the outfit you picked out with Harry lambert, the blue and pink paying homage to fine line. You’re heart gushes when he tells the crowd that he’s feeling really happy.
The next day you have another therapy appointment with your regular therapist, you even phone in Harry to join the call. You felt warm on the inside as your therapist reassured that you and Harry’s relationship was on the right path. She even said that you and Harry were meant to be together.
She didn’t have to tell Harry that for him to already know that information. I mean he had the ring sitting in his pocket to prove it.

Not a chef ~vinnie hacker
Masterlist
733W
Today i woke up wanting to please my boyfriend so I ordered some breakfast since I m not very good at Cooking. I walk over the bathroom to do my morning routine and then got dressed in a cute sundress that Vinnie absolutely loves on me, as I was done I got a notification that the breakfast is here so I run downstairs to receive it.
Once I payed for it i went to the kitchen and put the donuts in a plate then place them the coffee, some fruits and a rose on a tray and made my way upstairs. I struggle a bit to open the door but thankful Vinnie is still asleep, I left the tray on the night stand and climbed up the bed settling myself next to my boyfriends sleeping body, thinking of ways to wake him up and finally I got the best idea ever. I start kissing him all over his face until he woke up "good morning babyyyyy" I said smiling. "Good morning, what's gotten into you today babe?" He chuckled kissing my nose I giggled "nothing! ". Then I remembered the breakfast so I moved over the edge " Look I got us breakfast " I said happily "I love you" He told me.
After eating breakfast Vinnie did his morning routine and then unfortunately had to leave to find Thomas because his car broke down and Vinnie and myself were the only ones in the house today. I had alone time so I thought of what I should do next. I decided to try cook something for my lovely boyfriend, the only problem is I can't cook but I m still gonna try. I decided on something simple, marinara sauce pasta what could go wrong????
Everything was normal at the beginning . I started by cutting some onions in small pieces which led to my cutting my finger and let me tell you it hurts like a bitch, but I proceed in making the sauce without farther injures. The I moved on to the pasta.I let the pasta boil and went to check my phone seeing that vin had texted me.
Vin: what are u up to babe
Yn: I m cooking!
Vin: since when?
Ouch
Yn: I decided to make you lunch today and honestly it's going better than expected!!
Vin: hahaha alright I can't wait to taste it! Be home soon!
Yn: everything alright with Thomas?
Vin: yes everythings fine it was something fixable I will explain when I get there
Yn: ok drive safe love you
Vin: love you more! Be careful,don't hurt yourself and dint burn the house down.
Okay that's rude...
Anyway I went back to the pasta and realized that it's ready, now it's time for the hard part... I moved over to the sink and tried to empty the water from the cauldron to the sink. Key word tried! Most of the water ended up on my forearm and some in my stomach making me cry out in pain.
Vinnies pov
Honestly I got surprised when yn said she is cooking, she is pretty clumsy and she has told me that she isn't very good at cooking, regardless I m going to eat whatever she makes if it makes her smile. So when I entered the house and hears her crying I paniced running to the kitchen. It didn't took me long to realize what happened I quickly shoved the cauldron on the side turning the sink on grabbing her hand placing under the running water "hey shh sh it's alright I got you", " It hurts " She sobbed, it breaks my heart seeing her like this " I know I know baby but I m here now I got you" I kissed her forehead "did you got burned anywhere else", " My stomach " She cried, I helped her cool it off too and the when she felt a bit better in drove her to the ER so she can get a professional treatment. One hour later we are back home and in the kitchen " I m sorry, I completely ruined lunch" She said sadly " You didn't ruined lunch! What about we cook something together hm? " I asked her.
And that's what we did well technically I cooked explaining to her all the steps while I had her placed on the counter giving her kisses every now and then.

One Last Mission
SUMMARY// Bucky resigns after he's finally happy, Steve promises to bring him back from one last mission
WARNINGS// HEAVY ANGST, major character death, crying, sadness, it's a lot. I'm sorry.
AU// Husband!Bucky x Wife!Reader
NOTE// This is pretty heavy and it's definitely not for everyone. So, this is me giving you forewarning that this is pretty fucking sad. I'm not even doing the taglist bc I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm a sad bitch tonight so I had to put the sadness somewhere. Bold/italic words are flashbacks.
Tumblr media
"It's only a three day mission. I swear to you, I will bring him back in one piece." Steve assured, clasping your hand in his.
You looked to your husband who ran a hand down his face. "Steve, I left all of that behind to have a normal life. This is the last time." Bucky stated, giving his friend a pointed look. "We leave in the morning."
That was nearly two weeks ago.
Two weeks of not having Bucky's warm body next to you at night, or being woken up to loving, sleepy kisses that put a smile on your face first thing in the morning.
Of wearing his scent out of all of his clothing and everyone saying 'maybe he just can't contact until it's over', when it should've been over nine days before.
Your loving Bucky should've been home eating with you at the kitchen table instead of you staring at his empty chair with a feeling in your bones that you had never felt when he'd left on other missions.
You never let your phone out of your sight, every notification gave you hope that it was Bucky calling to tell you he was on his way home to where you'd be waiting to smother him in love before a warm meal and a hot bath for him to ease the stress that lingered.
Every sound outside your door made you look to it, hoping he would walk through it, battered and bruised as a smile crept across his tired features from the welcoming hugs and kisses. You'd take seeing him beaten up rather than what the feeling in your gut said had happened to your beloved husband.
Each passing day you could feel a piece of your heart tearing off, nothing able to mend the breaks until you were engulfed in the super soldier's arms again.
You tried to distract yourself with everything you could think of. TV, music, talking to friends and family, cleaning until you could eat soup off of the floor.a
After a few days, the thought of leaving the apartment made your stomach churn, thinking you'd miss him coming home. You couldn't sit still long enough to watch a movie or read a book anymore, and sleep was a distant thought with the cold spot on the sheets where Bucky's large frame usually laid with Alpine curled behind his knees.
It didn't help that everything in the shared apartment made you hurt even more.
The wilted flowers he'd brought you just days before leaving that you refused to throw away until he returned with more.
The framed pictures that held memories of the long journey it took to get Bucky to the happiness he couldn't even dream of.
Ones of him with the children in Wakanda, your wedding where only Steve and a few other close friends attended, and of little dates he'd take you on every Friday night.
His smile had slowly grown wider, more genuine over the course of the years the photos took place; a new shine to his eyes that finally learned what it was like to be well rested.
You'd never forget when he had told you he wanted to resign from the fighting. Finally deciding it was time to settle down and enjoy the new happiness he'd found in life after all of the years you'd worried you would only get the dog tags back after a mission.
"Are you sure, Buck?" You asked, cradling his jaw in your hands as he held his phone in the vibranium hand, ready to call to turn in his final notice.
"Wanna be normal, sweetheart. Got the married part down, now we just need to get a bigger place so we can start making some babies." Bucky grinned, sitting the phone down so he could wrap his arms around you; pulling you into his chest.
"How many babies we talkin'?" You said, tilting your head to look at him with narrowed eyes. "At least 12." He teased, blue eyes twinkling at the thought of chasing mini versions of you and himself around a yard somewhere in a suburban; or maybe in the middle of nowhere so he was surrounded by the only people he cared about.
"My limit is three. Maybe four, if you're lucky." You pointed, Bucky chuckling as he pressed a kiss to your forehead. "I'd still be happy if I only had you. Having babies with you will just be a plus."
A hasty knock to the door snapped you from your daze, pulling yourself from the couch with a sliver of hope that Bucky had just forgotten his key in a rush to get home.
Your heart dropped as your worst nightmare came true. Steve standing on the other side with tears in his eyes but still trying to keep a strong look on his face. He knew if he broke down it would only make it worse for you.
"No- Rogers, don't your dare."
Steve felt like he was swallowing his heart as he prepared himself for what he was going to say to his best friend's wife. He had insisted he was the one to tell you. This was personal, it was about his best friend and Steve had broken his promise.
"I'm sorry to inform you-" He sucked in a shaky breath as he opened his hand that held Bucky's dog tags and wedding ring he'd worn on his right hand instead, your hand flying to cover them as you shook your head rapidly; tears swelling in your eyes.
"You promised! You promised, you'd-" you couldn't even finish your sentence, sinking to your knees with silent sobs.
Steve encased you in his arms, choking back any sound as you wailed into his chest with the dog tags and ring clasped tightly in your hands.
He held your shaky form close, keeping his own cries quiet as heart wrenching cries were muffled into his shoulder. Blubbering up incoherent words as your body shook with the force of your sobs.
Bucky had finally found his happiness with you. But, had taken every bit of it with him when he was gone.

Can I - Bakugou
guess who can’t keep up with a series but has hella ideas for one shots :)
summary: based off the song Can I by Kehlani, i literally love that song and I think of bakugou every time i hear it.
warnings: some smut (MDNI), cursing, teasing, cheating, mentions of sex
Your body drops down on to the bed as you try catching your breath. You look up at the man above you, also trying to catch his breath. He sits on his knees and lightly rubs your thighs.
“Your pussy should be illegal brat” He chuckles, moving to stand up.
You reached out and grab his bicep before he gets to far away.
“Don’t tell me we’re stopping at just one round? I want the sequel Katsuki” You tease, doing your best to keep the man in your bed. It wasn’t your fault he was a complete sex god and knew exactly how to make you come apart in minutes.
He bites his lip in contemplation, checking the time on his phone before shutting it off.
“Fine but i’ve gotta be outta here in 2 hours, so no more begging” He states, crawling back over you.
“You love it when I beg” You pull him in for a kiss and oust your hips back into him and just like that, you’re both launched back into a state of ecstasy for another couple hours, responsibilities put on the back burner once again.
———————
“Hey extras, what’d i miss” You say, plopping down at your friend groups lunch table.
“God you’re starting to sound like bakugou” Kaminari states rolling his eyes.
“Speaking of, where is he?” Mina asks
“Him and Ochako said they’d be a few minutes late, she’s talking to a teacher i think” Kirishima responds, taking a huge bite of food.
“So they’re official now?” Mina asks, causing the table to dive into gossip as usual. Everyone adding their opinions. You decided to keep some things to yourself but couldn’t hide the smugness you felt knowing what you and katsuki have.
The gossip session chimes down as the aforementioned couple approaches the table. We all talk and make weekend plans for a few minutes before Bakugou says he’s throwing a party at his place.
“You? You’re throwing a party? You’re actually gonna let tons of shitty idiots into your place? Hah ya right” You laugh at the idea.
“Using my words huh? Some might think you’re a little obsessed with me y/n?” Bakugou quips back.
“Oh please, everyone knows you’re madly in love with me and are too scared to confess” You chuckle.
Ochako stands up and walks away, taking her lunch tray with her. No one says anything but we all look to Bakugou.
“She’ll be fine” He grunts, mumbling about the pain in the ass he calls his girlfriend. Everyone moves on and begins talking about their outfits for the party.
“Why don’t you just tell your girlfriend that your single?” You smirk leaning closer to Katsuki.
“I don’t understand how everyone thinks you’re a sweet little angel, but really you’re a evil pornstar tryna fuck me every chance you get” He growls in your ear.
Ochako comes back with no lunch and a water bottle, sitting close to katsuki. You stand and pack up your mess.
“Alright bro, i gotta hit the library, game tonight?” You dap up all the boys in your group winking at Mina before leaving, putting a bit of extra swish in your hips, knowing who’s watching.
“How the fuck did you even meet her and why does she hang around?” Ochako spits at Bakugou.
“She’s one of the bros, relax” He rolls his eyes, moving to busy himself on his phone. He checks his notifications and sees a text from you.
shitty girl 🙄
You look stressed :( need head?
i know it’s ur fav
You’re being a little loud with your feelings baby
Fuck you, i’m coming over
He smiles locking his phone, he stands and throws his lunch away, telling his girlfriend some excuse about the gym before walking back to his room.
He pushes open his door and sees you laying in his bed on your stomach, reading a book while kicking your feet. He grabs your ankle and pulls you down to him. He flips you over and grabs your neck.
“You gonna be nice and quiet for me?” He immediately dips into your neck.
“No promises. Why’d you wear a white shirt? Just gonna be soaked through with my juices.” You smirk back.
“We’ll see about that.” He laughs, setting his phone on the bedside table.
“Making a sex tape Dynamight?”
“you bet your ass i am” He says his attention back on you.
——————
You and mina finish up your outfits and makeup, checking eachother to make sure you look your absolute best. You take an uber from Minas apartment to Bakugous, bottles in hand.
You knock on the door, and are greeted by bakugou in a black t-shirt, gold chain and jeans. It’s blows your mind how hot he can look in a simple outfit.
“Who the fuck are you” He jokes.
“Hi i’m Hell, nice to meet ya” You wink handing him the bottle and slipping in the door.
“You know you’re fucking with a demon, i want you on your best behavior tonight or else” Katsuki growls quietly in your ear as you stand in the kitchen making a drink.
“Anything to please you King Explosion Murder” You joke, walking away to join the rest of your friends.
You end up in the same place you’re always in when you party with bakugou, bent over the bathroom sink, brain melting at the pleasure.
“Fuck i’m close baby, where ya want me?” Bakugou grunts, pace never faltering.
“Inside me please” You cry out
“Fuck such a good little slut, want to make a daddy yea?” He groans while finishing. You both clean eachother up and head back to the party as normal as possible.
——————-
After a few hours, everyone has moved back to their respective homes. You couldn’t help but think about Katsuki, you’d gotten used to him being in your bed until you fell asleep, even if he was gone by the morning.
Your phone began to ring, pulling you out of your thoughts. It’s Bakugou.
“Hey Suki”
“Can I stop by?” He whispers
“why are you whispering?”
“Ochakos sleeping in my bed, can i please. Need to see you tonight”
“You’ve already seen me Suki, you can come over but, we can’t keep doing this” You sigh. He agrees then hangs up. Moments later there’s a light knock on your door. As soon as you open it, you’re swooped up in a kiss.
“I need you, not just in the sex way, but like I need you. I don’t want her, just wanted to make Deku jealous. Want you” He speaks in between kisses.
“Can we figure out the logistics after please Suki?” You beg.
“Of course baby, after” He pulls you down the hall and into the bed, beginning the same dance you’ve become so used too.

too young || six
Tumblr media
summary: you and jungkook meet up after a surprise delivery happens at the school
word count: 2,018
genre:  parent!au, single dad!jungkook angst
one || two || three || four || five || six
When you thought about your first heartbreak, you’d thought you would be nonstop sobbing in your bed, being surrounded by empty jars of melted ice cream pints and sad movies. You thought that despite the distance, your mom would make the trip and drive all the way to see you, rub your back in small comforting circles and take care of you as if you were a sick child. You thought that everything would hurt so much that you wouldn’t even want to move. 
The only problem? Your first heartbreak didn’t feel like that at all. 
It was all practically numb.
You didn’t fall apart when you did something that reminded you of him. 
You didn’t start breaking down when you watched him pick up Jules and didn’t bother to come in to your office to say hi to you. 
You didn’t crumble to pieces when you had no notifications on your phone from him.
You lived your life normally again just without Jungkook and Jules. 
Alone.
There were no more screams or echoes of noise from Jules and her cousins when you peacefully relaxed, there was no more idle music playing in background as you did your work and there were no more soft breaths and snores next to you in your bed. 
Your mom called you every night on the phone, checking up on you. It was like she wanted you to cry and to feel some pain, just so she could go down there and be there for you. But you told her that you were fine and will deal with whatever negative feelings when they come. 
Life went on whether you liked it or not. 
Three weeks after the break up, at the end of March, there was a familiar knock on your office door after the last school bell rang. You haven’t talked to Jules since the night she found you looking at pictures of her mom, and you really hope it wasn’t awkward when you talk to her. 
It’s the first time you see Jules’s hair was down, strands of her hair going in every direction. She looks like a mess. Tears streamed down her face as she ran towards you, hugging your legs. “Can you help me?” 
“What’s wrong, Sweetie?” 
“I lost Jungkook’s mp3 player,” she cried, rubbing her face on your black dress pants to wipe her tears. “He’s going to kill me!” 
“It’s okay, Jules.” Bending down to comfort her, you wipe her face and stroke her hair. You’ve never seen her this sad, and it made your heart sink. “I’m sure he’ll understand. Things like this happen all the time. It’s okay.” 
She shook her head. “Auntie Moon Soo is coming soon, and I can’t leave without the mp3 player. I can’t.” 
“Why don’t we ask her to come look for it with you?” You asked softly. “That way 3 people are looking for it.” 
Namjoon’s wife, Moon Soo comes out of her van, she’s surprised to see you standing next to Jules. She doesn’t say anything to you at first and tries to reassure Jules that’ll be alright, that they will find it before Jungkook goes home tonight.
When it’s been over 30 minutes, retracing Jule’s steps from her locker to the gym to the playground, she goes to the bathroom, making you and Moon Soo wait outside for her. 
“I’m sorry we had to meet like this in this circumstance,” she said, offering a kind smile. “I heard a lot of great things about you, and I’m sorry things didn’t go well at the dinner with the girls.”
You hear Jules flush the toilet. “It is what it is.” 
“I know what it was like,” she said. “They made it seem like I wasn’t good enough for Joon, and we took a small break too. But at the end of the day, it’s about how you feel about Jungkook and Jules that matters more than their opinions, especially if they brought up Sarah.” 
“I’m almost done!” Jules shouted, turning on the sink. 
“But that doesn’t change the way Jungkook feels about Sarah.” Tears were forming in your eyes, and you bit your lip to hold them back. “But I’m glad you and Namjoon were able to overcome it.” 
“It’s been like what, almost a month? Jules knows Jungkook can easily buy her a new mp3 player, or even a phone, anything she wants, honestly. But think about it...I’m sure she misses you and is using this as an opportunity to spend time with you again.” 
“Can we check out my classroom?” Jules finally opened the door, getting out of the restroom. 
The three of you walk quietly over to her class where she looked through every desk (without touching their things) and looked over to the place where she reads books in the class. She lifted the bean bag in the corner of the room, revealing what she has been looking for this whole time. “Yay!” 
“See, everything is okay.” Moon soo smiled. “Are you ready to go, Jules?” 
She nodded, but then stared at you with her piercing eyes. “Is this going to be the last time you’re going to talk to me?” 
“Of course not, Jules.” You took a breath. “I’m here for you always.” 
“I have to tell you something.” But before she could tell you, she pointed at Moon Soo. “Why didn’t you go to the bathroom when we went, Auntie?” 
Moon Soo raised her eyebrows, then looked down at what Jules was pointing at. She then began holding on to her stomach with a pained look. “My water just broke.”
_______
“Hey!” Namjoon exclaimed, rushing through the hospital doors. Before he goes to Moon Soo’s room, he went towards your direction as you waited outside the room with Jules. “Thank you so much for bringing her here safely and for being there for her at that time. I seriously cannot thank you enough.”
“No worries,” you let out. “I’m glad I was there.” 
He’s about to say something, but you hear Moon Soo scream Namjoon’s name, making him go into the room as quickly as he can. 
Your phone in your blazer buzzed. 
[seokjin]
the whole fam is coming in about 10 minutes 
thank you for taking care of jules
will be there soon and you can leave
“Are you leaving when they come?” Jules asked as she looked down at your phone screen, seeing the texts from. “You’re not going to stay to see the babies?” 
“I don’t know yet.” You lied, knowing you were going to leave once someone is here able to take care and watch over Jules. As much as you wanted to see the twins, you didn’t want to see some specific people. You were doing fine right now in your life and didn’t want to ruin that if you saw Jungkook or some of the girls. “I have a lot of work to do still, Sweetheart.” 
“Will you see the babies with me on different day then?” 
“I hope so.” You couldn’t make an empty promise to her. “Are you excited to have more cousins?” 
She nodded. “I like my small family, but sometimes, I hate being alone. The cousins help me forget that I can’t have any brothers or sisters.”
You sighed, wrapping your arm around Jules. “Never forget that you will always have your family, your uncles, aunts and cousins to support you. They will always be there.”
“Will you?” She asked, looking up at you, once again, her eyes were so piercing.
“I hope so.” You rubbed her back in small circles. 
“I heard what Auntie said when I was in the bathroom,” she said. “I missed you, but I had to find this mp3 player. Jungkook’s new song is on here. I’m always the first to listen, and I didn’t want to lose this song.” 
“That’s good you found it then.” 
She’s about to tell you more, her mouth is slightly opened, but she doesn’t say anything more and started to stare in the direction behind you. Letting go of her, you turned behind, seeing Jungkook walking towards you two. 
He paused, not expecting to see you here, but then continued to walk forward as you looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes. “Are you okay?” 
“I’m hungry,” Jules answered with a pouty look on her face.
He laughed, taking his leather wallet out of his back pocket. He hands her a couple dollar bills, telling her to get something for the three of them from the vending machine. “Go crazy.” 
“You know I will,” she joked. 
There’s awkward silence in the air now, with Jules gone. Jungkook then sat down in the empty chair beside you, with his head turned to you as you looked down at your hands in your lap. He doesn’t know where to start and what words to say. How ironic, coming from a songwriter. “Hey.”
“Hi.” 
“Did you eat yet?” He asked. 
“Nope,” you replied, still not looking at him. “Did you?”
“Not yet.”
“I should get going.” You finally took the first step, grabbing your purse off the ground. 
Before you could take another step, Jungkook reached forward and grabbed your wrist, stopping your movement. “I never loved her, you know.” 
You wanted to shake him off, go on your own way, but you kept standing in front of him, facing away from him. “What?” 
He sighed, wishing he could look you in the eyes. “I never answered you that day because I was too scared to admit it out loud. I never got to tell her either, and I knew she loved me. The thing was I only thought of her as a sister, someone I had to protect. And I was afraid that if I actually told someone that I didn’t love her before she got the chance to hear it from me, I would somehow hurt her even though she’s gone.” 
“Jungkook,” You said this name, but he kept talking.
“I know that’s no excuse, but I am so sorry. I never wanted you to feel like that, and I should have just told you. No one has been competing with you.” He let go of your hand and stood up. “I don’t want you to be Sarah because I love you for who you are. I want you for who you are. My life feels incomplete without you.”
Finally turning around, you stared at Jungkook. It’s the first time finally looking at him up close in three weeks, and he looked like death. Dark circles were under his eyes, his hair was a mess. You could tell Jungkook felt too much.
And he did. For the last three weeks, he got up every morning, trying to ignore the pain he was feeling in his heart. He tried to continue his life like everything was okay, but all he kept thinking about was you. He wanted you to see you when he picked Jules up from school. He wanted to hear you laugh when he watched a movie with Jules. He wanted to you next to him when he was alone on Wednesdays. He wanted to hear you cheer for Jules when he watched her soccer games. He just wanted you. 
With all the pain he had been feeling, he’s been trying to figure out his feelings and all the words he wanted to say to you that night, and now that he was finally letting all of it go, he was crying right in front of you.
“You saw me more than Jule’s guardian. I felt like you were the first person to honestly see me for me. I want to live spending more time with you, watching Jules’s games, hearing all your different opinions and views than mine. And I am so sorry that I damaged us in the process.”
“Hey, Y/N!” Namjoon rushed out of the room. His jaw dropped once he saw you and Jungkook together, looking all sad. Still, his smile on his face reappeared as he asked, “Do you guys want to see the babies?”

Tumblr media
17 December 2020
A chilly and snowy night was upon you as you took a shot of hard liquor. The face of disgust appeared on your face as the liquid slowly went down your throat after you hammered the shot of tequila. 
Normally, you wouldn’t pregame when you were going to your friend, Addie’s, house where you would drink some more, but you needed to shake off your nerves that you felt at the moment. You took a deep breath after taking your second shot and you had physically felt yourself starting to relax. 
Rolling your head to stretch your neck out, you decided it was time to leave since it was nearing seven in the evening. You called yourself an Uber because of the alcohol in your system and you were planning to sleep over Addie’s place since she said she would bring you back in the morning before you had to go to work. 
You waited for your Uber by the front door while you looked in the mirror, putting your black beanie onto your head. You were bundled up in a black university sweater, a camel color coat over, along with tan lounge pants and a pair of black boots. Once you got a notification that your Uber driver, Jason, was in front of your house, you grabbed your overnight bag and headed out the door. 
You placed the hood of your sweater over your beanie so you got more warmth since it was quite cold. You were never one for the cold weather, which is unfortunate since you lived in London. You cherished the days where it was sunny and warm; the sun bright and warm as you laid on the grass in complete content. 
You missed those days. You missed the days where you didn’t worry about a singular thing. 
Looking out the window, on your way to your destination, you watched the snow slightly fall, hitting and building up on the ground while the pedestrians walked through the streets, bundled up in thick layers of clothing. Some people were with others, walking hand in hand or hugging each other through the cold. Even though it was freezing cold outside, there were smiles on their faces because the hold of one another was enough. They could get through the worst snowfall, but if they were in each other’s arms, it wouldn't matter; they could get through anything. 
The cold had reminded you that you were missing a pair of strong arms that should’ve been around you through this season, but you were completely frozen—left out in the cold to warm yourself up. 
You sighed and the car stopped in front of Addie’s place. You thanked your driver, wishing him a ‘Happy Holidays’ before you got out and buzzed your best friend’s apartment onto the buzzer system; hearing one back, you entered the complex while brushing your shoes onto the floor mat, so you wouldn’t slip while going up the stairs. 
You were grateful the building was warm, and you’re sure Addie would crank up the heat for you since you would always complain how ‘bloody cold’ it is all the time. 
Once you opened the door, you were met with your entire friend group who were all lounging around in the living area. They all faced the door once you walked in, seeing who the last friend to arrive. Greetings were sent towards you, Addie and Nic got up from their spots on the couch that they’re going to lose because behind them, Elijah and Niall were getting up from their spots on the floor to steal it. 
“Hey! There you are! We were all waiting for you,” Addie said, giving you a hug. 
Nic went in for a hug before she pulled back and looked at you suspiciously. You looked at her confusingly, wondering why she was looking at you the way she was before she said, “Did you party before you came here?” You furrowed your brows until you remembered that she probably smelt the alcohol that you took before you left. 
“Oh, uh, just took a couple of shots before I came here.” The two girls understood quite well, thankfully. 
“No worries! Come join,” Addie welcomed you in. The two went back to the living area, only to see that their spots were taken, so they grabbed the two boys’ arms, yanking them out of their seats. You chuckled as you walked to Addie’s room to put all of your belongings. 
Once you did that, you exited her room the same time the bathroom door opened across her room. The person in front of you was the reason why you were so anxious before you left; why you needed to relax for a bit and mentally prepare yourself before going to Addie’s place. 
The person in front of you was Harry Styles. 
The person who had your heart. 
The person you were deeply in love with still. 
The person who was your ex boyfriend. 
“Hi,” he said surprisingly, smiling a bit. 
“Hi, Harry,” you replied, inching towards him as he met you halfway. He wrapped his arms around your shoulders as you did the same around his waist, resting your cheek onto his chest. The hug was warm and comforting, like it always was, and you looked forward to these kinds of hugs every time you saw him. But your heart ached every single time. 
Pulling away, you gave him a small smile before you two walked out of the hallway and to where your friends were. There was laughter between the two girls and guys as Niall was telling them a joke. Nic was the one who saw you and Harry first, and her laughter died down. She looked at you concerningly, giving you those eyes as if they were asking if you were okay, and you nodded your head to reassure her. You and Harry join the group; you sat on the loveseat on one side of the rectangle wooden table, while Harry sat on the floor on the other side. 
You tried joining in on the conversation and laughter, but you couldn’t help but take sneaky glances back to Harry, only to find him getting glances at you as well. 
It was hard to focus on anything your friends were saying when Harry was in the same room, but you realized it was also difficult when he wasn’t in the same room because then you were wondering where he was. 
It wasn’t easy being friends with Harry after the breakup, good friends, especially; and it pained you to actually act normal around him when all you wanted to do was scream, cry, and have him comfort you. But you did your very best to maintain a cool, calm, and collected mood whenever you’re around him, although inside, your heart was racing and everything you said seemed incoherent. 
You tried your best to avoid him after you two split, and he did as well, but being part of the same friend group just didn’t go well with your wishes. You two had to suck it up and be normal around each other.
Being with Harry was possibly the best eight months of your life. To some, it’s not the longest amount of time, but he was one of a kind; you couldn’t find anyone out there like him--not like you were looking anyways. It genuinely felt like you’ve been together for years, and when you two were celebrating your six month anniversary, your friends had questioned you saying ‘It’s only been six months?!’
Your relationship with Harry was all things blissful. It was pure happiness and love, and you wouldn’t want it with anyone else. You two rarely got into fights, and if you did, it was most likely a petty and annoyed argument that would have you two back in each other’s arms only twenty minutes after. He was your fresh breath of air that made you laugh and orgasm…multiple times. 
It was all smiles and laughs until it wasn’t. 
You two had gotten together the second semester of senior year. Meeting at the library because you couldn’t reach a book, it didn’t take long for you both to get together. You had known him for two weeks until he asked you out on a date where he kissed you for the first time. The dates and kisses continued on for six months until you mutually decided to call it quits. 
It wasn’t an easy decision, but considering that Harry was going to a different school that was in a different country for his master’s degree in education for the fall semester, and you were also in the midst of your career; interning at a law firm didn’t quite clear up your schedule, only making you busier by the hour. There was barely any time for the two of you to spend time with each other with how busy and hectic your lives were, so there would most likely be no calls coming in or distant texts that were sent out to make it seem like the void had disappeared. 
Like two mature adults, you and Harry called it quits after the summer. He moved away to get his master’s and you kept yourself busy at the law firm. It wasn’t easy--still isn’t easy, but it was for the best. The both of you needed to focus on your careers and yourself before you two were ready enough to get back together. That’s if Harry wanted to get back together anyways. 
Of course you wanted to get back together with him, but you didn’t know where he stood on that, or if he was even seeing someone. Throughout the two years that he was away, you only saw him during summer and winter breaks, so he could possibly be seeing someone whenever he goes back to school. But now that he had moved back again, your mind was spiraling because now you got to see him more. 
Finally, you broke out of your trance, once again thinking about Harry, you saw him looking at you. The both of you completely tuned out to the conversation and laughter coming from your friends. You held your wine glass up, Harry doing the same while smirking before you both sipped your drinks, hoping the sweet wine would relax your bodies. 
Nic was picking out a small paper out of the Santa hat Addie was holding. She took a quick peek at it before, smirking to herself before Addie moved over to you for your turn. As you chose your Secret Santa, you hoped it was a good one. It’s not like you didn’t love your friends, some of them were picky, and by some, you mean Nic. 
You looked at the piece of paper, smiling before shoving it into your pocket. Addie moved onto Harry who was the last one to choose, and you watched him as he looked at the paper like it was a poker hand. He raised his brows, smirking before he looked up and started to fold the paper. Your eyes looked down at his polished hands, noticing that he still wears the same rings as he did when you first met him. Your favorites were his initial, thinking how incredibly sexy and alluring they looked on him as he walked around confidently. You’ve stolen them multiple times as well, even if they were too big on you, but the thought of walking around with Harry’s name on you just seemed so enticing. 
Niall’s laughter brought you out of your sensual thoughts about Harry’s hands and you realized you were caught staring, and Harry knew exactly what you were looking at with the amount of times he’s caught you staring and fantasizing about his hands. Plus, you openly told him that you had a thing for his hands. 
A smug smile was seen from Harry, so you took your attention away from him and towards your friends. 
“So, what do we say? $50 limit?” Nic suggested, and Elijah rolled his eyes.
“Why are you trying to make me broke? You know I have a huge family, like, 15 cousins!” Elijah debates. 
Nic gasped dramatically. “I’m offended you don’t consider us family, Eli!” Elijah playfully rolls his eyes again, turning his head to the side as he smiled into his shoulder, blushing a bit. 
You chuckled at their playful banter. You’re a bit surprised they hadn’t gotten together yet because ever since you met them, you could practically feel the tension between them. They were just too stubborn to admit that they liked each other. 
“Okay, how about we make it maximum $30?” Harry pitched in. Your eyes had immediately averted to him, and it was like he captured you just by the sound of his voice. “We have exactly six days to get our gifts,” he added. Your friend group has always been one for procrastinating. Everyone is so busy these days that it gets harder to plan hangouts where the entire group could go, but you were all family, so if the gatherings were at three in the morning, everyone would be there. 
The group agreed, telling him that was a solid number. You caught Harry’s eye and he softly smiled at you. Giving him one back, you suddenly felt nervous as he smiled, so you chugged the rest of your wine and walked to the kitchen to open a new bottle to bring to the living area.
The bottle made a loud pop sound, which earned an in sync ‘Woo!’ from the group as it was a tradition you all created whenever a new bottle of wine was being opened. Smiling to yourself, you poured yourself a glass before downing it. As you were doing so, Harry walked into the kitchen with his own glass in his hand. 
“Hogging all the wine, aren’t you, Y/N?” He teased to clear the awkward and anxious tension between you two, and luckily, you stifled out a giggle. 
“You know me and my wine.” You refilled his empty glass while taking a sip of yours. Once you fill it halfway, he clinked your glasses together before taking a sip. His lips meeting the sweet but bitter taste of red wine that you so wished was your lips. The way he curled his lips into his mouth and licking his lips, tasting the flavor had you daydreaming such sultry things about his lips. 
You cleared your throat, breaking yourself out of your gaze. “How are you, H? How’s work?” 
Harry’s cheeks warmed up at the simple nickname. “I’m doing good, yeah. Work is good. The school is great.” This was Harry’s first semester teaching, and he absolutely loved it. He loved being in the classroom setting, interacting and making sure his students understood the material. He wanted to teach elementary kids, but that would require knowing various subjects when he wanted to focus more on ninth grade English. 
“I’m happy for you,” you confessed. You were happy for him, but you wanted to be happy with him. “I know you’re a great teacher, and your students must love you.” You bumped him with your hip gently. 
“They’re great. A couple of them have this weird crush on me for some reason.” 
“I mean how could they not.” You realized you said that out loud, and you’re fully blaming the alcohol and the few glasses of wine that you already had, leaving you with a rosy cheek tint glow. Harry didn’t say anything but smug as he continued to sip on his drink. You slipped past him to join your friends, and Harry followed. Addie gave you a knowing look, hoping to communicate with just her eyes as she saw you and Harry walk out of the kitchen together, and you simply nodded, gesturing that you were okay. 
The rest of the night went by quite fun as the boys helped Addie hang up the rest of her decorations while scoffing and rolling her eyes because they weren’t cooperating. You and Nic were sitting on the floor watching and laughed, pouring yourselves more glasses of wine. Your heart skipped a few beats as you watched Harry the entire time, laughing and smiling, and sometimes looking over at you just to get a simple glance at your face to suffice his heart from the heartache of not being able to hold or kiss you.

You’ve always liked shopping alone. Shopping with Nic and Addie could be stressful, no matter how much you loved them. You would only go to the shoppes with them if you weren’t looking for anything to buy, but since you were Christmas shopping and the stores were getting busier counting down to Christmas day, you had passed on their invitation to shop with them. There was nobody bugging or nagging you, causing you to get distracted; just you, a basketful of snacks, and Christmas music playing through your headphones. 
You couldn’t wait to give your Secret Santa gift because you’ve put a lot of thought into it ever since you found out who your receiver was. You’ve been doing Secret Santa with your friends since the third year of college. At first, your friends group was only you, Nic, Addie, and Niall—you’ve known Niall since you were sixteen, and you met the girls your first year of uni—until Nic met Elijah during the second semester of junior year, who was quickly accepted, and then you met Harry. 
You’ve all become a close knit of friends, and each and every single one of you have met other people, but there was nothing like this group. With bonding and connecting so well, all you needed was each other, and you couldn’t be more grateful. 
As you were looking at the collection of whiskey, you felt a body brush passed you, slightly bumping into you as they tried getting through the narrow aisle. You jolted forward a tad bit, making you take a step forward to let the person behind you pass through. 
“So sorry,” the familiar voice said. The music playing through your headphones was not even halfway up since you still wanted to be aware of your surroundings, but you could recognize that voice anywhere. 
Turning around to look at the person behind you, sure enough, it was the one and only. 
“Harry?” You called out, taking out your headphones. He turned around, and once he saw you, he immediately smiled. 
“H-Hi. I didn’t expect to see you,” he nervously blurted out a false statement. He knew that this was your go to store and you would always drag him there because they always had your favorite snacks in stock. 
You chuckled. “Yeah, I didn’t expect to see you here either.” Unlike his statement, yours was true. When you were with him, he would always ask you why you couldn’t stop at any of the other shops because this one was on the other side of where you lived. But you simply told him that it was because you would feel like you would be cheating on this store with the others because this was your go-to place, and the employees here were just lovely. 
“Shopping for yourself?” Harry asked. 
You looked down at your basket. “Oh, no. For my Secret Santa. What about you? What are you doing here?” 
“I, uh, I was on this side of town and,” he turned around to face the wine section before grabbing a bottle of Pinot Noir. “Just needed to get this,” he said as he held it up. 
“Night in?” 
“Hmm, yeah,” he nodded. 
“With…someone, or?” You tried your best to not show your anxiousness when you asked him if he was having a night in with someone that’s not you. 
Harry’s eyes widened and he shook his head. “No, no. Not with anyone…” Your shoulders relaxed and a small smile appeared on your face. You slightly nodded your head, containing your relief. “You look great!” He complimented. You were wearing your work attire; a black pencil skirt with a white silk, semi turtleneck long sleeve, and a black coat thrown over. You were also in nude heels, which weren’t the best to shop in, but you had forgotten to bring a change of shoes. 
You blushed. “Thank you. I came here straight from work.” Harry’s brows raised. You were always one for a sense of style, so he wasn’t surprised that you would look this good going to work. 
“Really? How is work going, by the way?” 
“Good, actually. I’m still interning at the law firm, so I’m pretty busy. But overall it’s great! A lot of research, mock cases, and sometimes the interns get to sit and watch in the courtroom. It’s pretty thrilling,” you said excitedly. Harry smiled, missing how you would explain things so eagerly. “This is my last year interning, so hopefully I could work at the law firm I’m already interning at, and become a permanent lawyer there.” 
“I’m sure they’d love to have you there. You’re great, really. They’d be stupid to let you go…” he trailed off. There was a double meaning to his words, and you were wondering if Harry thought he was dumb enough to let you go. Not wanting to dwell on his words any longer, you murmured a soft ‘Thanks’ to him and smiled. Harry nodded, mentally beating himself up over his words and how he was really the stupid one to let you go. 
“I, uh, should go, or my sister will be suspicious,” you chuckled. “I hope you have a great night, Harry.” You grabbed a bottle of whiskey before walking passed him. You weren’t even done shopping, but you couldn’t be in the same room as him without thinking of the memories that had always lingered, making you nostalgic and sad because you don’t know if you would be able to make more memories with him. 
Harry was left alone in the aisle as he watched you walk over to the register to pay for your items. Just when you were done, you looked up, giving him a soft smile and waving at him before you turned around and walked out of the store. Harry’s heart fluttered, but at the same time, it was pounding through his chest. He mentally cursed himself for being so nervous around you, making an awkward tension fill the air. He couldn’t tell you what you were really doing at your store--no, he couldn’t. 
Because what would you say if he told you that he’s been going to your store ever since you two broke up and whenever he’s in town just because it reminded him of you. The four walls somewhat mended his broken heart as he felt comfort inside of the shop because some of his best memories of you are in this very store. And since he couldn’t step into your apartment to immediately feel at home, your favorite store would have to do…for now. 
Tumblr media
Right when you entered Addie’s home, you were met with the loud music of the holiday season, along with Addie, Nic, and Elijah singing the lyrics to one another as they jumped and danced with a glass of their preferred alcohol in their hand. 
They hadn’t heard the door open since the music was quite loud, so you took the opportunity to take a quick video of them as you smiled at your lovely friends, who felt so careless at the moment. Once the song ended, you put your phone away, and Eli was the one who spotted you first. 
“Ah, there she is!” He walked over to you, giving you a big hug. You giggled as he slightly picked you up from the ground and twirling you. You were sure that he was already buzzed, and you were wondering how many glasses he’s had already, or if he pregamed by himself to calm himself down for talking to Nic, just like you had done to prepare you for a night with Harry, which you hadn’t done tonight. 
There was a part of you that wanted to take a shot or two to ease your nerves, but you realized that you needed to stop doing that because as far as you know, you and Harry are most likely going to be friends for a long time. So, drinking almost every week did not sound fun to you. 
Nic poured you a glass of wine, clinking your glasses together as you took your first sip of alcohol that night. You helped Addie set up the food onto the table along with some Christmas designed plates and utensils. Just as you were counting the utensils, you heard a loud Santa laugh coming from Niall, making everyone turn their heads towards the door. Niall walked in, carrying a bag-full of presents and Harry followed with a three foil wrapped aluminum trays in his hands as he chuckled at Niall’s way of making himself known. Your face immediately heated up at the sight of your ex-boyfriend because he looked good. 
Although you loved every version of Harry, there was something about Harry Styles in the snowy winter that made your knees weak. He was bundled up in a sweater with a coat tossed over, and he wore boots. His hair was slightly messy from the wind as he shook off the snow that had fallen onto his locks. His nose was always red too, and when he would press a kiss to your cheek, you would feel the icy cold tip of his nose, contrasting to your warm cheeks. And it’s a tragedy that you’ve never spent a winter season with him when you were together, only two Christmases after the breakup. 
Winter Harry was your favorite, and all you wanted to do was snuggle up with him. 
Niall and Harry made their rounds to greet everyone, and Harry would always make sure you were the last one he greeted, just so he could hold and hug you a little longer. 
“Merry Christmas Eve, Eve,” you said once he got to you. He smiled and chuckled, wrapping his arms around your shoulders. You laid your head against his chest, taking in his scent and natural warmth, even though he just came from the cold. “What’d you bring?” You asked once you pulled away. 
“I brought the cheesy garlic bread, brussel sprouts, and crab cakes,” he smiled. 
You gasped. “Your specialty. My mouth is already watering.”’ You clapped your hands in excitement. 
Harry giggled, leaning against the kitchen countertop. “Sure is, and it’s some of your favorite dishes of mine too,” he remembered. You blushed, heart fluttering as he didn’t forget your favorite foods. 
Harry was always a chef of his own; he loved cooking. Learning from Anne, he made it his mission to make his own homemade food after he moved out, and she would always tell him that you could always show your love through food. From there, he learned more about cooking and seemed to love everything about it. Whenever the group has gatherings for special occasions and everyone agrees for a potluck, Harry always made sure to talk to everyone and see what they wanted him to cook. 
When you two were together, he did the majority of the cooking. There would be times when you wanted to help, but he would simply tell you that you needed to let him do it and relax. That was something you loved about him—he was always a giver and didn’t expect to receive anything back, in more than one way. 
You and Harry were definitely ones for staying in, and he would always whip up the best food that was filled with so much love and flavor. 
“Once you two are done loving over there, we’d like some help over here!” Niall called out from the dining area. Your eyes widened as Harry’s cheeks turned pink. Harry held his arm out, gesturing you to go first, and you walked out of the kitchen as he followed behind you.
The group’s attention and eyes were on you and Harry, and your brows furrowed as you mouthed a ‘What?’ at them, and they instantly went back to setting up the food as if nothing happened. You turned around to look at Harry confusingly and he shrugged his shoulders, just as confused. 
The music was playing, the decorations were lit up, and the food was settling into everyone’s stomach, followed by drinks as a warm feeling laid over everyone. It was overall a great time with them as it always was, and since Christmas was coming up in just two days, the merry feeling was always everyone’s moods. 
As everyone was laughing and having a great time, Addie had gotten a knock from her neighbor, asking if everyone could keep the volume down. Everyone was holding in their laugh because you all hadn’t realized how loud you’ve gotten. 
“I’m pretty sure they knew it was going to be a long night when it was just the three of them dancing and screaming,” you pointed out to Addie, Nic, and Elijah, and they all laughed, agreeing. 
“Wait, what?” Niall asked confusingly. 
“Right when I walked in, they were screaming at the top of their lungs. Wait, I have a video.” You pulled your phone out of the front pocket of your sweater and showed Niall the twenty second video. 
He cackled. “Hey, thanks for waiting for us,” he teased, giving your phone back to you. 
You leaned back onto Harry’s leg, since you were sitting on the floor and he was sitting on the chair behind you, and you looked up at him to show him the video. He leaned forward, placing his forearms on his thighs as you shifted closer to him so you were sitting in between his legs. Harry’s lips curled into his mouth, and he was grateful that you weren’t facing him because he was flustered. You pressed play, and he watched as he chuckled, watching his friends have a good time.
“Wait, I also wanted to show you this video,” you mentioned once the video was over. You scrolled through your pictures, and Harry was watching you go through your camera roll. He saw pictures of buildings, food, you and the girls, and some of them were just of you. Before he could really think about your own pictures, you found the video of your family dog and showed Harry. 
As you and Harry were watching the video, your four other friends were eyeing you two and whispering things to each other suspiciously. Nic took a few pictures of the moment because the sight was just so cute, but everyone was wondering when you two were getting back together. 
And you were wondering the same. 
For a few minutes, you and Harry were in your own little world as you two talked about your family; never making the effort to change the position you were in--you had just turned your body so you could see him better. You’ve missed times like these where everything else, outside of the bubble you two created, didn’t seem to matter. The way his eyes gleamed when he talked to you had lulled you in, making you depart from every thought you were trying to create while the only thought that dawdled was Harry. 
“Alright, let’s pass out our Secret Santa gifts before we’re all too drunk,” Niall suggested, popping yours and Harry’s bubble. You moved out of between Harry’s legs to sit beside him where you were before. You looked up at him, softly smiling and he gave you one back. His eyes looked like they wanted to say something, and you so badly wanted to crawl into his mind to know what he was thinking. 
Everyone agreed, getting up to grab their gifts. Addie also grabbed the Santa hat that you had to wear if it was your turn to pass out your gift. The Santa hat had been through four Christamases with the group, and it was the little things that made you happy.
Addie decides to go first since she was the host. She put the Santa hat on before she started. “First one! My Secret Santa is…Elijah!” She walked over to him, giving him her gift as he smiled, thanking her. He opened her gift and gasped as it was a new headset for his PlayStation since he was always talking about how one side was completely dead. Addie placed the hat onto his head as he grabbed his gift. 
“So, this one is for…” he smiled before walking over to the other end of the couch. “Nic.” Her eyes widened, taking the gift from his hands, and he took a seat next to her on the floor. She ripped open the wrapping paper before she paused, looking back at him. It was a large rectangle frame of pictures of her and Eli with a note in the middle saying ‘4 years as best friends, countless laughs, and one question unasked. Will you go on a date with me?’ Nic squealed, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. It was like he was proposing to her because she screamed out a loud yes. “Life is too damn short. I can’t wait to go another day without calling you my girl, so I wanted to take my chances,” he told her. You smiled at them, realizing it’s been too long, and you were so happy for them. 
It was Nic’s turn, which she completely forgot about because she was so overjoyed, and she walked up to Harry to give him her gift. He thanked her before opening it, receiving a set of nail polish, a few face masks, a vanilla candle, and a gift card to one of his favorite restaurants. 
Harry was up, and he was a bit nervous for this one. You knew that it could either be you, Niall, or Addie since you were the three left without gifts. He stood in front of the fireplace as everyone looked at him. You thought he looked absolutely adorable in that Santa hat, which you think every single year. He slowly walked over to Niall, making him beam, but turned around and walked over to you, earning a ‘Hey!’ from Niall. 
“Merry Christmas Eve, Eve,” Harry greeted you, handing you your gift. You smiled brightly, grabbing the box. It was a quite heavy box with brown wrapping paper with reindeers on it and a large red bow. “I wrapped it myself,” he smirked, playfully flipping his shirt hair, and you giggled. 
You ripped the paper and opened the box, eyes softening. In the box, there was a graphic tee, your —and his—favorite fresh perfume by Jo Malone, five pens with your first and last name engraved in the middle, a Cravings cookbook from Chrissy Teigen and a yellow and white vertical striped apron with the words ‘Summer Lovin’ with a sun embroidered at the top. Your eyes watered at the words at the special but emotional meaning behind it. 
Two months before you and Harry broke up, you knew it was the end. You both agreed that you would spend two months together before you had to part ways with one another. It was the most special and fun summer you ever had, but emotionally, it was the worst. Knowing that you weren’t going to be together anymore by the end of it was behind the facade of the endless laughter and love. You really didn’t want it to be over, but you understood and needed to grow separately and blossom with your careers. 
The words behind the embroidered apron was from one summer night. You and Harry had a bonfire at the beach, and you were cuddled up with him as he held a blanket around the both of you. You had tequila disguised like water as you held your bottle up to the best summer loving. You wished the circumstances were different, but if it’s meant to be, then he’ll come back to you. 
“You’ve always wanted to learn how to cook and I’ve seen that you’re starting to on your Instagram stories, so I thought these were the perfect things to get you so you could be a proper chef now,” he said with a soft smile. 
Harry truly paid attention to the small details of your life. Together or not, he intently listened and observed without anyone knowing. He nailed it down to the small details; from the perfume, the pens, and the apron. The sentiment behind it was what made the gift so special, and the person who gifted it to you completed and made it so much better. 
As your vision had gone glassy, you sat on your knees, reaching up at Harry for a hug. He bent down to your eye level, sitting on his knees as well as he wrapped his arms around your shoulders. You held him tightly, sniffling into his shoulder as a rush of overwhelming emotions hit you. Your heart fluttered and pounded at the same time—a feeling that was familiar to your body when it came to Harry. 
“Thank you so much. This is the most thoughtful gift ever,” you said into his shoulder. This gift was number two on the list of gifts you’ve received from him, following Harry himself as your number one, of course. 
Harry pulled his head back slightly to press a kiss to the side of your head. The gesture had made your heart swoon and you smiled against his shoulder. Everyone was watching you two interact, and they all thought this was finally the moment where you two would get back together again. They’ve all seen you two suffer enough being without each other, along with the heavy tension that there was. All they wanted was for you both to be happy. 
You pulled away from him, looking up at his green eyes as they stared into you. He offered you a small smile that took your breath away before he wrapped one arm around your shoulder, bringing you into his side as he wasn’t quite done holding you. 
After a few minutes, your friends had let you have your moment before Niall complained how he didn’t have a gift yet. You and Harry chuckled, letting go of one another, and he placed the Santa hat onto your head before you slowly started walking over to Niall. When you handed him his gift, he cheered happily before opening it. You had given him several customized guitar pics with his initials printed onto them, a leather notebook since he liked to write songs, and Proper 12 Irish Whiskey, which was fitting because he’s Irish and he likes Connor McGregor. He thanked you with a big hug, picking you up off the ground with one arm as he held the alcohol bottle in the other. 
Addie was the last one who hadn’t received a gift, and Niall was her Secret Santa. He gave her a bunch of makeup with your help, and a tupperware set, which she had been asking for since everyone always took her containers because she liked hosting so many parties. 
The rest of the night had gone on for a few more hours before everyone was pretty tired, deciding to call it a night. Everyone helped clean up, making sure to help Addie with the dishes and putting or throwing stuff away. Although you were cleaning, you loved your entire group. This was your family--the closest people to you. The ones who know everything about you and would laugh at you when you fall before falling with you. You were entirely grateful for everyone in this room, and you couldn’t have asked for a better group to spend more holidays and days with. 
After the cleaning was done, Niall and Eli started to head out, not before Eli was satisfied with the amount of goodbyes he gave Nic with how long the hug was. Niall had to physically pull him off, telling him the Uber was outside. 
You were washing your hands before Harry walked over next to you, handing you a towel to dry off your hands. “Thank you,” you muttered, shyly smiling. 
“Uh, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come over?” He proposed. Your brows raised at his question. You and the girls had planned on having a sleepover after, but the prospect of going home with Harry had sounded much better (no offense to your friends). 
“I was planning to sleepover here…” you decided to innocently tease, even though you knew you were going to say yes. 
“I already asked them, and they said I could take you. I could drop you back off here if you want. So, the answer is up to you,” he smirked. A blush appeared onto your cheeks, admiring the fact that he asked your friends for permission if he could take you home. 
“There’s bound to be talk tomorrow,” you teased, lightly nudging him.
“I’ll take my chances,” he smiled, a hopeful look presented on his face. 
You breathed out a chuckle, looking at him for a moment before you nodded. “Yeah. Let’s go.” Harry’s eyes widened as the corners of his lips turned up. You grabbed your phone and your coat before walking over to Addie and Nic who were both cuddled up on the couch, saying goodbye to them. They sent you a playful wink, and you rolled your eyes as nerves startled to settle in your stomach. 
You followed Harry out of the door, the cold air brisking past you as you walked to his car. He opened the passenger and you thanked him before getting in. Harry started the car and the song that was playing was ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside.’ It was a song you loved ever since you were a little girl, and you remembered the times you and your mom would always sing it in the car. You smiled at the memory, humming as you hoped it would be a way to distract you from the anxious feeling that you have. 
You started humming to the tune as quietly as you possibly could, but Harry heard it as he started to hum it as well. You looked at him through your peripheral vision, noticing that he started to tap his fingers against the steering wheel. 
You were about to start singing until you noticed that he pulled into his driveway, so you contained yourself and closed your coat, getting out of the car as you followed him into his home. You’ve only been inside his home three times--those three times being when he would suggest everyone hang out there. It was a lovely place and whenever you were sitting on his couch, you had wished you shared the space with him. 
Harry lit up the fireplace, placing the metal shield in front of it before turning back towards you and smiling. “Make yourself comfortable. I’m just going to get us some hot chocolate, if that’s alright?” He asked, wanting to know your preferred drink. 
“Sound good.” You hung your coat onto the coat rack before walking over to his turquoise velvet couch and taking a seat, getting comfortable to an extent, not knowing how comfortable you should get. 
Not long after, Harry came back with a wooden tray, and he placed it on the coffee table in front of you. There were two mugs filled with milk, two hot chocolate kits, and spoons. 
“I made these for my students, and I just so happened to have two extra kits, so this will be fun,” he smiled, and you gave him one back appreciatively. You thought that it was cute and sweet of him to give something to his students for the holiday season. Normally, teachers don’t give them anything, but Harry wasn’t just any other teacher. 
A somewhat comfortable silence fell over you two as you both made your own hot chocolate, and you listened to the fireplace roar. Once you two were done, you clicked your glasses together before taking a sip. The warm and comforting drink made you smile and was overall delicious. 
Harry didn’t know what to say or how to say what he really wanted to say. It felt like he had non stop thoughts running through his head, but when he opened his mouth to start, there was a delay. An overwhelming feeling took over him and he wanted to yell at himself for not saying how he really felt. 
“Y/N-” 
“Harry.” 
Just like before, your minds had been in sync, causing you both to speak at the same time. A light laugh came out of both of your mouths. 
“You go first,” you told him. 
Harry took a deep breath. “How’re you doing?” He asked. Out of everything he could have said, that was the only question that came out of his mouth, but he figured it’s a good start to getting somewhere. 
“Truthfully?” He nodded. “I’m doing okay. I’ve managed to distract myself from worrying about the future with work, and so far, it’s been helping.” 
“What are you worried about?” Harry wondered curiously. He could feel his heart pounding through his chest, and if he’s being honest, it’s been that way the first time he saw you…ever. 
“Worried if I’m gonna be where I want to be career wise, and…” you trailed off. 
“And what?” He encouraged you to continue. His stare was so intimidating and deep that the words flew off your tongue, making them unforgettable. “Ba--Y/N?” He called out for you, noticing how he almost slipped up and called you ‘baby,’ and you so wished he hadn’t stopped himself. 
You finally mustered up the courage to speak your thoughts. “I’m afraid that I’m gonna be alone,” you said honestly. 
Harry’s brows furrowed, shaking his head instantly. “You’re not alone, no. You have your family, all of us--your friends, me-” 
“You?” Your brows raised. 
“Yeah-” 
“Harry, you’re the reason why I’m so worried…” you confessed. You were starting to get frustrated--not at Harry, but at yourself because you had planned to have this conversation a different day. You tried to calm yourself down, and Harry could practically see that you were getting angry at yourself. You had a certain stressful and frustrated look that he would notice when you started to beat yourself up over things. And throughout the months of being with you, especially when you were in the midst of law school, he learned how to calm you down. 
Harry placed his hand on your knee; the touch being unexpected to you, but it had brought you immediate comfort. He pulled you into his side and you rested your head on his shoulder, looping your arm under his, the one that’s on your leg, and hugged his arm. Harry’s other hand touched your arm, caressing and soothing you. His actions had felt very natural and familiar to him. He would comfort you like this when you were feeling stressed. Normally, he wanted to cuddle you tightly, but this was your preferred way to calm down because in a way, he was still holding you, and you were still in control and didn’t feel like you were suffocating if he had held you tightly.
You stayed like that for a few moments, and you had calmed down a bit already, but you just wanted to be close to him and cherish the moment. 
After a few minutes, you pulled away and turned towards him, smiling softly. Your heart warmed at the fact that he remembered exactly what to do when you started to feel anxious, and you may have fallen in love with him even more…after all these years. 
“Now, wanna tell me why you’re so worried?” He asked softly, not wanting his tone to be pressuring, and you’re grateful for it.
“I’m worried I’m going to have to live a life without you. It terrifies me to think about you going out and meeting someone, and I would have to watch you get married to someone else that’s not me. That you would be sharing this home with someone that’s not me.” Your eyes start to water, and you had mentally told yourself that you wouldn’t cry, but you didn’t believe yourself in the slightest. “Watching you love someone else is going to be the most difficult thing I would have to do.” 
Your tears had fully fallen down your face, which is unfortunate because you both had such a good day with your friends and it was nearly Christmas. Quickly wiping your tears away, you got up from the couch, and headed towards the door. Harry was confused until he saw you grab your coat, putting it on. In a flash, Harry got up from the couch, walking towards you. 
“W-What are you doing?” He asked. 
“I really can’t stay…” you told him sadly. You had no idea how you were getting home or back to Addie’s since it’s snowing, so you don’t know if there were any Ubers out, especially at this time. “This evening has been…so very nice, Harry.”
“You don’t have to leave. Baby, it’s cold outside, c’mon,” he pleaded with worried eyes. Your heart melted at his words and the name that he used to call you, making you pause in your movement. 
“Please,” he pleaded softly, taking a small step forward, and your breath hitched in your throat as you looked up at him. There was a dead silence between you two that was tension filled, and you had no clue what was going to happen next until he opened his mouth. 
“Mind if I move in closer?” He whispered. The sound would barely be audible if anyone else was there, so he said those words specifically for you to hear. 
You shook your head, and he took another step forward. Your bodies were a centimeter away from being pressed up against one another, and your heart was beating so fast, making your hands shake and tremble. He looked down at you so intently that you were under his spell, and you were conflicted as you wish you knew how to break the spell as his green eyes looked deep into you, luring you in even more. 
You took a deep breath. “Kiss me already,” you breathed out. Harry’s heart nearly stopped at your words, but he slightly smirked as he blushed, brushing your hair behind your ears before taking your face into your hands and leaning down to place a deep and passionate kiss onto your lips. 
This feeling, this touch, this man was what you’ve been waiting for these past two years. Throughout those years, you felt like giving up; accepting the fact that he wasn’t going to love you again. But he had proved you wrong in the simple brush of his lips and tongue that were in sync with yours, making the spark between you grow bigger and bigger. The spark that had never lost its power, but was on pause.
You grabbed a fistful of his shirt, pulling him closer as the other hand was wrapped around his back. Harry had you pushed up against his front door, and you had the urge to lift your leg up to wrap it around him, but you resisted. 
Harry wanted more, too. His hands trailed down from your face to your back, closing the nonexistent proximity between you, and guided you back to the couch. You were walking backwards, completely trusting him that he wouldn’t let you fall as his lips never left yours. 
You giggled once the back of your legs hit the couch, falling onto the soft material as Harry hovered over you, laying in between your legs. He looked at you for a moment, studying every freckle, the crimson color on your cheeks, the curve when you smile, your glimmering eyes, and your cute nose. He knew that it was exactly how he remembered. After a couple of years being separated, a beautiful face like yours was hard to forget. 
“You’re quite crazy to think I’d want to live the rest of my life with someone else when you’re right in front of me,” he suddenly said. Your eyes widened at his confession. “Never wanna be without you ever again. Thought you didn’t want to be with me when I came back, so I just didn’t bother. But you have no idea how much I missed you. I missed you so much.” 
He placed soft kisses all around your face as he spoke, leaving you feeling so tender and soft as he was so gentle with you. For someone who’s on her way to becoming a lawyer and always having to have an answer for everything, you were speechless. The words that you’ve been waiting for for so long were music to your ears. It rolled off his tongue so smoothly, slick like honey, and you connected your lips with his again, swirling your tongue against his as you devoured his words. Hands finding their way to his hair, you gripped on his locks and pulled just the way he liked it, earning a groan from him, and you smirked against his mouth. 
You pulled back, leaving him breathless. Swollen lips, blushed cheeks, and smiles plastered on his face, you said the words you’ve been itching to say. “I love you,” you blurted out. The words had rolled off your tongue so effortlessly, making shivers run down Harry’s spine as his eyes watered up. “I was listening to Elijah earlier, and he’s right. Life’s too fucking short to not have what you want.” 
He took one of your hands into his, bringing it up to his lips before placing a kiss onto the back of your hand. Your other hand was playing with the curls that laid delicately on his hands, scratching it lightly. 
“Missed hearing you say those words.” He smiled, tears making their way down his face. “I love you too. So, so much that you have no idea how I feel when you walk into the room and I see your beautiful face. I love you. I love you. I love you, baby.” His affirmations had caused you to softly sob—the two of you a crying mess from the obvious but unspoken love that was finally being released again. “It’s always been you. You’ve always been my girl, did you know that?” You tilted your head a bit. “Never gonna go a day without reminding you that you are, because you’ve never not been my girl. Had to love and admire you from afar, but just wanted to hold you and kiss you.” 
“You can kiss and hold me all you want now, my love,” you reassured him, and he dug his face into your neck, placing a soft kiss against your skin. 
You smiled so brightly as your heart felt so happy and overflowed with love, and he matched your grin, feeling the same way. 
The two of you kissed each other for a bit more, whispering sweet words, and laughed and talked about anything and everything—truly catching up with one another. 
“Oh.” He got off of you, making you slightly pout from the weight of laying on you that you already missed. “I actually got you another gift.” 
“Harry…you already got me enough.” It was true. Along with the thoughtful gift, he was your true Christmas miracle. 
“I know. But this one, I wanted to give to you in private, and this is the perfect moment, so let me do this?” He looked at you with sweet and pleading eyes with a small smile on his face. Who could ever say no to that adorable face? Certainly not you. 
You nodded, and he shot up, heading towards the stairs. “Give me thirty seconds,” he said before rushing up the stairs. 
You heard him shuffling up there, and the sound of a drawer opening and closing. Thirty seconds later, he was walking downstairs, holding a white box wrapped in a red bow. He sat back down next to you, looking into your eyes as he spoke. 
“This is what I wanted to give you when we were alone. It didn’t matter the outcome of how things turned out between us tonight, I just wanted to give you this because I think you’ll appreciate it. It reminded me of you when I saw it, and I knew I had to get it.” He handed you the box with slightly shaky hands. 
You untied the bow, taking the top off. A gasp came from your mouth as you picked up the chain. It was a little gold sun pendant, symbolizing your summer together. You studied the charm for a moment, delicately touching it as you teared up at the meaning behind it. It matched quite well with your embroidered apron, and the two together would be quite the match. 
“Thank you, Harry. This is so sweet of you.” You leaned forward, giving him a hasty kiss to his lips, smiling against them. “Help me put it on?” He nodded eagerly. You handed him the necklace before turning around, lifting your hair. You felt the cool metal chain hit your skin along with Harry’s lingering touches across your shoulders, causing your skin to pebble. He placed a quick kiss to your neck before pulling away. You turned around to meet his eyes as you smiled. 
“Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.” He kissed your forehead. “I’m so happy. Merry Christmas Eve, Eve, baby.” 
“Merry Christmas Eve, Eve, my love.” 
You cuddled into his side as the silence took over. The only thing was heard was the pounding of your love-filled hearts along with the cracking of the fire. Sure, it was cold outside, but right here in Harry’s arms, you were warmer than ever.

you woke up to the sound of your alarm blasting your ear off, if you hadn’t turned it off right there you probably would have gone deaf.
george was sleeping like a baby beside you, you could hear his quiet snores. you were surprised he didn’t wake up to the sound of your ear-piercing alarm.
turning on your phone, you glanced at the time that read 12:30. you sighed in annoyance as you registered that you only had half an hour before you had to be on your way to university. so you got up and began your normal morning routine, brush your teeth, shower, have breakfast and finally get dressed. however, as you were packing your bag, almost ready to go, you received a notification from your [sibling]
[y/s/n]: we’re 5 minutes away!!!
[y/s/n]: thank you so much for agreeing to do this :)
fuck.
it completely slipped your mind. you had promised to take care of [y/n/n] for today, your 7 year old niece, while your [sibling] was at their job interview. regardless, you texted them a quick ‘no problem’ before rushing upstairs to wake up george.
he was still sleeping, but now he was completely hiding under the covers with one arm sticking out. you hated to interrupt his beauty sleep but this was more important. you began to shake him awake.
“babe,” you shook him
“wake up,”
“george,” you removed the covers off his face
“wake the fuck up!” you started poking his sides. usually, you would be a little less... harsh, but you were panicking.
finally the boy rose from his slumber, groaning and stretching all his limbs. he blinked a couple times before meeting your eyes
“good morning,” he said softly, as if he completely just disregarded your tone of desperation and worry.
you pulled him by his arm and he sat upright,
“you need to get up right now,” you told him
“what’s going on?” he questioned, clearly confused as you weren’t giving him any context
“you need to take care of [y/n/n] for today, i have classes today, and i need to leave in 5 minutes and [y/s/n] has a job interview and there’s nobody else to take care of her,” you rushed out all in once sentence.
“are you serious?” he narrowed his eyes at you. “you know how bad i am with kids, especially [y/n/n] , she hates me,”
that was partly true. unfortunately, your niece wasn’t exactly fond of george. ever since you even started dating,m, [y/n/n] acted cold towards your boyfriend, it only got worse when you moved in with him. she always refused to play a game if george was going to participate, or never accepted any high fives or hellos from him. you felt sympathy for george. this child despised him and now you were asking him to look after her.
“please, i’m begging you,” you looked at him with pleading eyes. his eyes softened up after recognising the urgency of the situation.
“fine,” he agreed. you sighed out of satisfaction that you didn’t have to stress out [y/s/n] over finding a new baby sitter.
“thank you so much,” you pressed a small kiss to his lips appreciatively.
right at that moment, you two heard the doorbell ring. you urged george to get ready as fast as he could while you went down stairs and greeted your [sibling] and your niece.
“auntie/uncle [y/n]!” [y/n/n] yelled as you opened the door, immediately rushing into your arms. she looked a lot taller than the last time you saw her
“how’s my favourite girl?” you picked her up and swung her, before placing a little kiss on her head
you gave your [sibling] a quick hug. they handed you a bag full of toys, teddies and colouring pens, along with a spare set of clothing just in case [y/n/n] got a little messy throughout the day. and some quick reminders about her favourite foods or how to get her stop crying. you’d looked after her before, so all of it was pretty familiar to you
“again, thank you so, so much, you have no idea how much you’re helping me.” they told you. your [sibling] gave [y/n/n] a kiss on the cheek and told her to be a ‘good and kind little girl’ before finally exiting the household.
george, at last, made his way down. wearing a decent pair of jeans and a hoodie, giving an awkward wave to [y/n/n]
you checked the time and knew you had to get going. you had to explain to her that uncle george was going to be the one looking after her today. and after one whole tantrum, you managed to convince her to be a good girl by promising to give her a big reward afterward.
finally, you kissed [y/n/n] and george a goodbye , then shut the front door behind you.
george and [y/n/n] stood opposite each other. there was an uncomfortable silence in the air. george felt so...he didn’t even know. what do you say to a child who hates you? [y/n/n] tightly clutched her bag of toys.
“so, [y/n/n],” george cleared his throat, he bent down to her level. “i hear you like toy story?”
[y/n/n] pouted “i don’t like you” she said, and stomped away.
george sighed. this was going to be a long day.
and it was.
-
it started off with [y/n/n] innocently using her colouring pens and drawing random things, you know, as children do. but when she ran out of paper, she made her way to your office, where all your uni work was. she grabbed the closest piece of paper that was sitting on your desk, deciding it was going to be the next canvas for her art. this paper just happened to be a very important assignment.
when george caught her in the act, he had to physically tear her away from your office, in defiance of all her kicking and screaming.
-
then, when george accidently left the door to your shared bedroom open. [y/n/n] waddled in without him noticing, she started playing with all of his devices. his computer, his microphone, and somehow she got a hold of his headphones, and took out the battery. george didn’t realise until he noticed the cover missing. he tried to ask her nicely where she threw the battery. but she insisted that she wasn’t going to give it back unless he stopped being ‘mean’
-
when lunch time rolled around, george put a pizza in the oven, he remembered clearly that [y/n/n] loved pizza, specifically pepperoni. nothing could go wrong here.
but when he called her to the kitchen so she could receive her lunch. she just stared blankly at the pizza, and then at him. she crossed her arms
“[y/n] usually makes a smiley face with the pepperoni”
george just felt all his will to live just disappear
-
coloured pens and toys were spread out all across the living room floor, [y/n/n] was sitting in front of the tv, george put on one of her favourite shows which thankfully distracted her for a bit, allowing him to relax. he pulled out his phone and texted you
to [y/n] <3 : help me please
to [y/n] <3: i cant take this anymore, i’m literally dying rn
to [y/n] <3: come home quick
he exhaled heavily, throwing his phone to the side. he was so exhausted.
[y/n/n] was roleplaying with her toys, making them move around and doing squeaky little voices. george smiled at the innocence
“purple bear doesn’t play with us anymore. princess giraffe, mr. george took her away from us,” she spoke in a high pitched voice
george’s ears perked up. how funny that she had a teddy named ‘mr. george’. curiously, he watched the little girl.
“koala george, is a meanie, he stole purple bear and now they don’t want to hang out with us!”
it didn’t take a genius to find out what [y/n/n] was displaying through her role playing teddies.
that was why she didn’t like george. before they got together, [y/n] mentioned they almost spent every weekend with [y/n/n], playing with her and having fun with her.
she felt abandoned by [y/n] and felt as if george had taken them away from her .
george felt at fault as he noticed the girls eyes started to water.
“does purple bear love us any more?” she continued to play.
george decided it was enough and he switched off the television. he joined [y/n/n] on the floor and grabbed the teddy that was supposedly ‘koala george’
“[y/n/n]” he spoke softly. the little girl looked up at him expectantly. he held up the teddy.
“is this supposed to be me?” he questioned her.
“that’s a koala bear,” she answered
“no-, [y/n/n],” he said. he thought about how to ask her, and just chose it was best to be flat out with the child,”
“did i steal auntie/uncle [y/n] away from you?”
the question took her by surprise. she gazed at him with big wide eyes. she thought about her answer and grabbed the purple bear, which was supposed to be you.
“they don’t play with me as much anymore, they’re always with you, because of you, they don’t love me anymore,” she pulled a face, it wasn’t angry, it wasn’t annoyed.
it was a genuinely sad face.
george was sure he physically felt a pang of guilt in his stomach. he never even comprehended the fact that a child could feel so rejected.
“listen... [y/n/n],” he said gently. he thought about his words. comforting someone wasn’t exactly his strongest point, particularly not a child who detested him “[y/n] will never stop loving you, okay? they love you very much, and i’m sorry you feel like i stole them ”
[y/n/n] continued to listen.
“but don’t forget that [y/n] has so much love to go around! look, they love you, and they love me, they love grandma and grandpa too! they will always love one another even if they can’t see each other often,”
[y/n/n] stayed silent. she fiddled with the purple teddy, folding its ears and patting its head. she loved that bear. it was actually gifted to her by you, when she was first born. she brought it to her chest and hugged it. george tried a different approach.
“listen, how about- this weekend, we can all go to the park together, and have a picnic. you, me, [y/n], and your parents too,”
she continued to just stay silent. george didn’t know what to expect, she was unpredictable, was she going to throw another hissy fit? or start to cry? he wasn’t sure
“can we also get ice cream?” she asked
george smiled and felt himself relax. thank god. “all the ice cream you want,” he told her
[y/n/n] stood up and giggled. like her whole entire mood did a whole fucking 180. “okay! let’s go play dress up now!”
———
7:45 pm. you finally arrived home. you were tired out of your mind. [y/s/n]’s interview was delayed by two hours and was currently half way back home, meaning you had enough time to spend with [y/n/n]
you unlocked the door, expecting to see a giant tsunami of toys and colouring pencils and pens, but what you saw was the most heart warming thing ever.
george was sleeping on the couch, his head resting on the armrest. he had a couple pink bows in his hair, his lips were painted a hot pink, he was wearing a couple sparky bracelets and a purple floral necklace.
in his lap, [y/n/n] rested her head, she was wearing a fairy costume with matching pink bows and sparkly bracelets.
you quickly snapped a photo of this wholesome moment. because, who wouldn’t? you spent a few minutes just watching the two sleep, they were probably just as tired as you.
moments like these made you really appreciate the people you had in your life. the people you love so dearly much.
you didn’t want to disrupt the ambience but you felt it was better for your [sibling] to collect your niece when she wasn’t covered in glitter and an overload of pink accessories.
you quietly woke george up,
“baby, wake up.” you shook him awake, gently. in a very different way than you did this morning. he opened his eyes. and immediately smiled upon seeing your face. you ran your thumb across his cheek
“it looks like you two had a lot of fun,” you teased.
he quietly chuckled. “she’s okay,” he told you. looking down at the little girl sleeping in his lap.
you slowly and carefully picked her up, removing any accessories you thought may seem uncomfortable to sleep in. she was a heavy sleeper.
you carried her upstairs, tucking her into you and george’s bed and placing a kiss upon her forehead. you turned back to george and rushed in for a bear hug
“thank you so much for doing that,” you said. “i love you so much, i know it probably wasn’t easy, she can be quite the handful,”
george chuckled. “handful is an understatement,”
“you’d better be willing to dress up like that with our own kids one day.” you stated, hugging him tighter.
