Summary: What Eddie is not expecting to see is a photo of Richie standing in full cabaret garb, complete with thigh-high stockings and garters connecting to knee-high boots.
what do you guys think of my new outfit? :P the caption reads.
Richie’s wearing a deep blue corset, with a black, sparkly coat that falls down behind his knees, and a cute little hat that doesn’t quite fit his head. His shorts are also black, and they’re tight enough that they’re pressed right up against Richie’s crotch, the buttons framing the obvious bulge presented there. Eddie can’t drag his eyes away long enough to blink before the snap ends, and then he’s left staring at nothing while he tries to get his brain to restart.

To be honest I wrote this for me. I was in desperate need for a snapchat sexting fic.
Thanks as always to my best friend and beta @imnotinclinedtomaturity.

Eddie’s in the middle of an essay due in his lit class tomorrow when his phone chimes with a new snapchat notification. Even before he opens it, he knows it’s going to be Richie, who spends 90% of his time in the theater taking ridiculous pictures with his castmates and fucking around backstage.

Richie’s wearing a deep blue corset with a black, sparkly coat that falls down behind his knees, and a cute little hat that doesn’t quite fit his head. His shorts are also black, and they’re tight enough that they’re pressed right up against Richie’s crotch, the buttons framing the obvious bulge presented there. Eddie can’t drag his eyes away long enough to blink before the snap ends, and then he’s left staring at nothing while he tries to get his brain to restart.
What the fuck. What the actual fuck. Richie’s not even doing cabaret this semester. They’re in the middle of a production of It’s a Wonderful Life, and last Eddie checked, there wasn’t any cabaret in that play. So where the fuck did Richie find an outfit like that?
Before Eddie can really think it through, he’s typing a response.
Where the hell did you find that?
Richie doesn’t respond right away, obviously. He’s probably hamming it up for his friends backstage, too busy to check his phone, but all Eddie can think about is the way Richie’s legs looked in those stockings, and how those shorts really really left nothing to the imagination.
It isn’t the first time Eddie has looked at Richie this way, but —finals are in two weeks and Eddie’s course load has been insane, which hasn’t left much time for sleeping, so seeing Richie in fucking cabaret is exactly enough of a shock to break his goddamn brain.
Eddie taps at his screen, meaning to do what, he’s not sure, but he ends up back on the snapchat homepage and hesitates there, staring at Richie’s name at the top where his brand new story sits, tempting Eddie desperately.
Ten seconds was really not enough time to soak in the image of Richie dressed like that.
Eddie clicks on his story.
The image of Richie in cabaret comes back up. Eddie’s eyes linger on the fishnet stockings rather than Richie’s bulge this time, and the way they frame diamonds against Richie’s pale skin. The boots he’s wearing make his long legs look even longer, which Eddie hadn’t thought was possible until now, and the corset.
Fuck.
The snap ends again, and this time Eddie doesn’t think twice before replaying it again.
The hand Richie is using to hold his phone up against the mirror blocks most of his face, and half of his chest, but Eddie can see one dusky nipple peeking out above the blue corset. It’s tight against his body, throwing his chest into sharp relief, and making his skin stand out even more there than it does on his thighs. The black jacket draped around his arms is the only thing Eddie doesn’t much care for, and all he can really think about is stripping it off.
His phone chimes, drawing Eddie out of his thoughts and reminding him that he’d been trying to ask Richie a question.
Richie: wouldn’t you like to know ;)
And then again, almost immediately.
Richie: they left me in charge of putting away costumes again tonight and i might have been digging around in the back of one of the wardrobes and… ta da!
Eddie sighs, and closes his eyes. Leave it to Richie to make putting away costumes into an adventure. Part of him wishes Richie had fallen into the wardrobe and never come out if it meant saving Eddie having to see him all dressed up like that, and the other part couldn’t be more grateful that Richie went digging.
He kind of hates himself a little.
Richie messages him again.
Richie: you never said if you liked it :(
And then: come on eds
Immediately after: dont i look sexy? ;))
The problem is, the answer is yes, but in Eddie’s opinion, the answer would always be yes, so it’s not really a fair question. He doesn’t really know how to answer, either, so he doesn’t.
He and Richie have been dancing around each other for years. It’s not that Eddie is unaware of the fact that Richie finds him attractive, nor is he blind to the way Richie has been flirting with him since they were in high school. In fact, Eddie would say it’s more than a little obvious they’re in love with each other.
They just haven’t done anything about it yet.
Eddie sighs and drags a tired hand down his face. When he pulls it away, he does his best to turn his attention back onto his essay.
But he can’t.
He just keeps thinking about all that chest Richie had been showing off, a part of Richie’s body that Eddie so rarely sees. Richie isn’t really the type to run around shirtless, much to Eddie’s dismay, but that corset… Eddie’s brain is just tired enough that Eddie allows himself to imagine licking the space between Richie’s pecs, skimming right over the black lace lining the top of the corset.
He groans, and slams his face into his hands. He can feel himself growing a little interested, a general stirring in his stomach, a twitch of his dick, and does his best to stifle it.
His phone chimes again, and Eddie groans even louder before picking it up.
Richie: way to make a girl feel loved eds :(
Rolling his eyes, Eddie finally types back a response.
Youre not a girl
This time, Richie’s response is almost immediate.
Richie: so if i was a girl would you tell me im sexy? :D
Eddie doesn’t even have to think about it — bickering with Richie is second nature.
No.
Richie: :(
Eddie expects that to be the end of it, and puts his phone down in another attempt to get back to work on his essay, but it’s only a few moments of staring at his screen before his phone goes off again. Eddie doesn’t even pretend not to be interested, and picks up his phone immediately.
It’s a real snap this time, and Richie’s still in that goddamn outfit.
This time it’s a selfie, and he’s pouting at the camera. The angle is just steep enough that Eddie can see all of Richie’s exposed naked chest, and the top edge of the corset where it flares out a little bit. It’s more than a little obvious that Richie is trying to look sexy, and the most annoying part about it is that it’s working.
Eddie groans, and feels himself actually start to firm up in his pants now. He has to shift his legs a little to get more comfortable in his chair, and tries not to think about the fact that he’s just spread his legs. The soft fabric of his sweatpants is a tease against his dick.
The snap ends. Eddie doesn’t think. He holds down on the message, and the snap replays again.
Immediately it occurs to Eddie that Richie can see that he replayed it, and he feels his cheeks heat up. Shit, fuck, he didn’t mean to do that.
Well, he did, but… not where Richie could see.
Richie: eds!
The snap ends before Eddie can really enjoy the image, and then he’s back to staring at their chat.
Richie: did you just replay my snap?
Richie: you do think im sexy!! :D
Richie: admit it eds
Richie: i look sexy in my cabaret get up ;))
Eddie groans and wants to bury his face in his hands, but it’s difficult to feel too mortified when Richie seems receptive to Eddie’s interest. They flirt sometimes, but not usually so overtly — like replaying sexy snaps of each other — and Eddie’s usually the one to roll his eyes and ignore Richie when he gets too blatant.
It’s moments like these, though, where Eddie does flirt back, that make Eddie feel hot all over with the possibility of finally doing something about their mutual attraction.
Eddie bites his lip, considering.
Maybe for once, Eddie can be the brave one and put himself out there a little more shamelessly. After all, Richie started this whole mess.
I dont know, I think youd look better without the jacket, Eddie finally types back.
Eddie can see Richie’s bitmoji peeking at him. It pops up, like Richie is typing, and then goes back to peeking at him, meaning Richie stopped without saying anything. Eddie can feel his heart beating a little faster than normal as he watches this happen again and again, before it stops entirely. Richie’s bitmoji disappears.
Eddie blinks. And stares. And worries, just a little bit.
And then another snap comes in, and Eddie about breaks his finger in his haste to play it.
Richie’s facing the mirror again, his phone covering his face to take the picture. He’s leaning on the counter with both elbows this time, the fingers of one hand brushing along the line of his collarbone. The way he’s stretching his neck causes the bone to stick out sharply, and Eddie feels his mouth water at the sight.
Richie has good collarbones, and all Eddie wants to do is bite them.
The broad line of his shoulders is revealed now too. Richie has taken Eddie’s advice and ditched the jacket. It makes the deep blue of his corset more prominent, and it highlights Richie’s skin, drawing attention to the pale expanse of Richie’s chest and shoulders.
The caption reads how about now?
Eddie licks his lips as the timer runs out and the snap ends.
He starts typing.
Try again. I didnt get a good enough look
Richie’s bitmoji pops up. Slips back down. Pops up again.
Richie: again?
Eddie can just about picture Richie’s face, perhaps scrunched up in confusion, or his eyebrows arched in surprise. Eddie doesn’t know exactly how Richie must be feeling, but Eddie knows how he’s feeling, and thats pretty fucking shocked at his own boldness.
Eddie swallows nervously, but ultimately barrels forward. In for a penny...
Again. But dont cover yourself up this time, Eddie demands, unsure where this is coming from, but leaning into it anyway.
They’ve never flirted like this. They’ve never gotten this far. And Eddie doesn’t know what that means for them, but he’s excited to find out.
Richie doesn’t respond right away. Eddie sees his bitmoji peek at him, indicating that he’s read the message, and then it disappears. Eddie hopes that means another picture is coming, and not that Richie has run away screaming.
Their chat lights up again a few moments later, and Eddie opens Richie’s snap eagerly.
This time, Richie has stepped back away from the mirror, and he’s holding the phone down low and to the right of him, so that his whole body is in frame, including his face. It’s objectively not the best photo, but it’s what’s in it that counts.
The first thing that Eddie notices is that Richie is biting his bottom lip. His lashes are lowered, and his cheeks are pink, and Eddie can just make out the blue of his eyes staring up at the camera. He looks nervous, almost shy, and it’s the hottest expression Eddie has ever seen.
The second thing Eddie notices are Richie’s fucking thighs. Richie is leaning against the wall next to the mirror, left arm bent so that his elbow is propping him up against the wall, and his fingers are carding through his hair. He’s tilted his hips just so, legs spread apart, with one in front of the other, baring Richie’s inner thigh to the camera.
His thigh isn’t bare, but it feels incredibly intimate regardless. It’s sexy is what it is, so much so that Eddie feels his dick really stiffen up in his pants.
The thick strap of Richie’s garter is distracting enough that Eddie doesn’t even make it half way down Richie’s thigh before the snap ends.
Eddie doesn’t hesitate. He plays it again, and screenshots the image for good measure.
It’s a daring move, one that Eddie wouldn’t usually give in to, but he can’t help it. They’ve already gone way past the boundaries of their usual relationship, what with Eddie demanding that Richie take another sexy photo for him. What’s one more nail in the coffin?
You look good he types the moment the snap ends for a second time. He licks his lips, staring eagerly at their open chat. He can see Richie’s bitmoji. It sits still this time, like he’s staring at their chat but doesn’t know what to say. A flicker of nervousness tickles at Eddie’s insides, but despite his usual anxiety, he convinces himself to wait, to calm down, to let Richie speak for himself instead of jumping to conclusions.
Finally, Richie types a response.
Richie: yeah?
The lack of emojis, the lack of teasing and flirting, is telling. Richie is so rarely vulnerable with Eddie, but Eddie knows how to recognize it when he is. It makes Eddie burn, to be trusted with this side of Richie, whose always hiding behind crude jokes and self-deprecating humor. Confidence flares up in Eddie — this is something Richie is into.
Yeah Eddie replies, and stops for a moment.
Richie’s bitmoji stares at him.
Eddie adds, But I want to see more.
He can feel his heart thrumming hard in his chest, can feel something tightening inside of him with want and desire. His dick throbs in his pants, thick with anticipation. He’s almost fully hard now, and he reaches down to rub the heel of his palm against the head of his dick.
He lets out a soft sigh at the feeling while he waits for Richie’s reply.
Richie’s bitmoji stares at him, and then pops up, and then stares at him again. Eddie blinks. Richie’s bitmoji pops up again, like he’s typing but can’t settle on what to say, and then stares at him again. Eddie doesn’t know what to think of Richie’s hesitation — whether it means that Eddie’s crossed a line, or if Richie just wasn’t expecting the forwardness — but finally Richie says: then tell me what you want
Eddie’s heart skips a beat, knowing that Richie is fully on board now, and he presses down harder on his dick, squirming at the sensation it sends through him. He exhales a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding, and thinks.
What does he want? He knows that he wants to see more, knows that he wants to get off to Richie posing for him in his cabaret outfit. He knows that he wants Richie to get off with him, that he’s desperate to make Richie as hard as he is right now.
So he types: I want you to touch yourself through your shorts
Continues: and let me see you do it.
Richie’s bitmoji only stares at him for a moment this time, and then it’s gone.
Heat flares through Eddie’s body as he waits, squirming in his chair. His essay lies forgotten, cursor blinking on his laptop, and he considers, briefly, moving to his bed, but ultimately decides against it. Here, he can spread his legs wide and lean back against his chair without having to sacrifice the ease of texting Richie.
Eddie aches to push his sweatpants down, but he waits.
His phone lights up, the snapchat noise pinging his phone, and yet another picture message waits for him. Licking his lips, Eddie does not hesitate to open it.
Richie’s done exactly what he said. It’s another mirror selfie, with his phone aimed low and zoomed in, crotch framed in the middle of the camera. He’s got one big palm cupping his dick through his shorts, and Eddie can just about see the way Richie has thrust his hips forward into the touch. He can’t see Richie’s face, but he can almost imagine that Richie is flushed red in the face.
He wonders if the flush goes all the way down, if Richie’s chest gets hot and red like the rest of him. Eddie lets out a soft sound of desire, and fumbles with his phone. Before the message can disappear, he clicks on the camera icon and takes a quick, perfunctory photo of his own dick, hard in his sweatpants. He cups under the head, and sends the snap before he can think better of it.
His ears turn red.
Fuck, they’re having phone sex. Like actual, proper phone sex. This is definitely not the first thing Eddie had been imagining they’d do when they finally got their shit together, but he can’t say he’s complaining.
Richie is doing exactly what Eddie is saying without question, as well. Eddie’s never seen Richie so compliant, and it only serves to make him harder. He rubs his thumb around the head of his cock, and feels himself start to grow wet.
Eddie’s got their messages open again when Richie responds.
Richie: fuck eds
Richie: your gonna kill me
Feeling bold, Eddie types back: I want you
His heart lodges in his throat. Richie begins to type, and there’s no hesitation this time.
Richie: fuck
Richie: m e too
Richie: god i want you so much eds
Richie: please
Richie: tell me what to do
The desperation is clear, and it makes Eddie gasp, makes his dick twitch in his pants enough that he finally scrambles at the waistband, shoving them down to mid-thigh. He leaves his boxers where they are, and rubs the head of his dick through the thin fabric, teasing at himself more fully now. He can feel all the blood rushing through his body to his dick, can feel the need pumping through him until all he can think about is Richie Richie Richie.
Why did they wait so long to do this?
Richie isn’t even here and Eddie already feels like he’s on fire. How much better would it be to have Richie on top of him?
I want to see you Eddie types thoughtlessly, wishing more than anything that Richie were here right now.
Richie responds: i can do that
Richie’s bitmoji disappears. He’s taking a photo, Eddie’s pretty sure, even though that isn’t really what he meant, but he’s not going to complain.
The theater is on the other side of the campus from the dorms, a good twenty minute walk on a good day, and it’s not as if Richie could just walk across campus in fucking cabaret. But Eddie isn’t ready for Richie to change out of that outfit yet, and he’s considering asking Richie to bring it home, if only so he can feel the way Richie’s thighs feel in those stockings.
His phone pings.
He opens the message.
There’s a chair in front of the makeup counter now, and Richie’s propped up in it sideways, the seat far enough away from the counter that Eddie can see Richie’s entire body in the chair. Richie’s got one arm raised to take the photo, and the other wrapped around the back of the chair, holding him securely in place.
One stocking-clad leg hangs low like normal, but the other — the other is raised high, Richie’s heel resting on the seat next to his other thigh. The pose thrusts Richie’s corsetted chest outward, and once again draws Eddie’s gaze to his inner thigh. The thick line of his garter is hidden this time, but the top edge of the stocking is not, and Eddie can just imagine himself pulling them down Richie’s legs with his teeth.
He groans at the thought, and finds himself squeezing around the base of his cock, stroking himself once, firmly, over his boxers, and biting down hard on his bottom lip. He squeezes his eyes shut for just a moment, and then snaps them back open again.
Before the image can disappear, Eddie screenshots it desperately. The image is burned into the back of his mind, but he never wants to forget it.
Richie’s flush really does go all the way down.
It’s only after the screenshot is saved that Eddie realizes Richie didn’t put a timer on this one, and his eyes blow wide at the thought. It's involuntary when his hips kick up against his palm, and he muffles a moan behind his teeth, gazing hungrily at the photo in front of him.
He wants Richie. He wants him so fucking bad.
Eddie types: get up on the makeup counter and spread your legs for me
Richie’s response is immediate: yeah ok
Eddie fumbles to yank his boxers down to mid-thigh as well, releasing his cock. The sensation is a relief, even more so when he finally wraps his fingers around it properly, dragging up against it once before squeezing the head and letting go. His fingers fly back to his phone.
show me, he demands.
Richie does. The image comes through quickly, like Richie had complied the second Eddie had asked him to. There’s no timer, and Eddie has a clear view of Richie’s body all the way down his chest. His legs are spread wide like Eddie had asked, and the bulge that had already been obvious earlier only seems to have grown. Richie is definitely hard now, probably aching in those tight shorts, but he hasn’t gotten undressed.
Eddie hasn’t told him to.
Holy shit, he thinks, and shivers.
Touch your thighs he says, and then I want to see.
It takes longer for Richie to comply this time, but it becomes obvious why the moment Eddie sees the purple tap to view icon. He exhales loudly before playing the video.
Richie seems to be resting his weight against the mirror behind him, because the way he’s positioned his camera, Eddie can see all the way down his chest again. He can see his stomach heaving under his corset, can hear his heavy breathing. Eddie watches as Richie strokes the fingers of one hand down one inner thigh, and then back up. He teases pale fingers at the top edge of his stockings, and then trails them further up, up, up, to the thick strap of the garter. Eddie watches as he grips tight to it, and pulls it upward. It snaps back against his skin with a satisfying smack.
Richie lets out a soft sigh, and the video ends.
The sound goes straight to Eddie’s dick, and he drags the heel of his palm down the shaft of it, pressing down hard on the head. His teeth are digging into his bottom lip, preventing any sound from escaping him, and he releases it only on another long exhale. He can’t help the way he winds his fingers around himself, beginning to really pull himself off, screwing his eyes up tight with desire. He snaps them back open after a second, and aims his camera down at his dick, holding down the record button.
All Eddie can think about doing is encouraging Richie to keep going. He fists his hand over himself once, twice, three times, and then tightens his fist over the head with a soft groan.
“So good for me, Richie,” he whispers hotly, and then stops recording and hits send. He doesn’t have to wait long for Richie’s reply, which feels almost instantaneous, like he watched Eddie’s video and then immediately began filming his own.
Richie lets out a low whimper the moment the video starts, and digs his fingers hard into his thigh. He isn’t showing his face, though Eddie suddenly wishes that he were, but he does drag his nails up his thigh, leaving scorching red marks on the bare skin, until he reaches the bottom edge of his shorts. Then he wiggles his fingers underneath the hem, and pulls up teasingly, exposing more and more of that wonderful pale skin that Eddie wants to sink his teeth into.
He doesn’t touch his dick the way that Eddie is touching his own. It’s as if Richie is showing off for him, ignoring his own pleasure for Eddie’s. Eddie’s eyes flutter shut at the thought, and he decides he’s done playing.
He doesn’t have the patience for this when he’s already so worked up. He can feel his dick throbbing desperately in his hand, and he wants nothing more than to come.
Just before the video ends, Richie’s ragged voice whines, “Eds.”
Eddie lets out a loud groan, and says fuck it.
Rather than sending another video, he types out a quick message one handed, unwilling to let go of his dick.
get off the counter and fuck up against it instead. i wanna see you gasping for it
Eddie doesn’t bother teasing himself anymore, his fist tight around his dick as he jerks off. He’s getting close, and he wants to come watching Richie rubbing himself all over the makeup counter, but he can’t hold off for very much longer.
It feels like it takes forever for Richie to do what he asked, though, because by the time the video comes in, Eddie is already shaking, hips pumping hard into his fist.
He clicks on Richie’s message desperately, and lets out a low moan immediately at the scene presented to him. Richie has done exactly what he asked, his hips grinding hard into the edge of the makeup counter, but it’s so much more than that. He’s gasping wildly with the movement, and he’s got one leg practically on top of the counter, grinding his hips mindlessly into it. The hand not holding the phone is threaded through his hair, and Richie is yanking his own head back as far as it will go. His neck is a long line of pale, unblemished skin, his adam’s apple bobbing desperately as he works himself over.
He looks desperate for it, eyes closed and brow bunched up with pleasure. His mouth is hanging open around the sounds he’s making, and his chest is that same bright red as earlier, maybe redder.
The video is twice as long as all the rest, as Richie works his hips up against the counter. Eddie’s hand moves faster and faster over himself, and he digs his teeth into his bottom lip, biting back the loud groans begging to come out of his throat. His hips pump up harder, and harder, and harder, and then suddenly, as Richie’s moans hit a fever pitch and the video cuts out, Eddie comes hard, come spurting up his chest and soaking into the soft cotton of his sleep shirt.
He gasps with it, jerking into his hand as he works himself through it. Pleasure zings all the way up his spine, causing him to arch into it, and by the time he slumps back against his chair, he feels weak and jelly limbed all over. The movements of his hand come to a slow stop long before Eddie has the presence of mind to do so himself.
Dizzy with it, Eddie taps on his phone to send a response, and snaps a picture of his dick, soaked in his own come and still hard.
He doesn’t have it in him to type a message, just sends the photo and closes his eyes to wait, his chest still heaving.
It doesn’t take long at all for Richie to reply. Eddie’s phone chirps, and then chirps again, and then twice more, before Eddie can work up the energy to look at it.
Richie: holy shit u came
Richie: eds
Richie: fuck plz
Richie: tell me what to do
Oh fuck, oh fuck, Eddie thinks to himself. Richie didn’t come. God, that shouldn’t be such a surprise, considering Richie hasn’t done anything without Eddie’s permission first all night, but it still is. He’d sounded so far gone in that video, like the moment it ended he would have kept going, uncontrollable, until he came.
The fact that he didn’t — holy shit it makes Eddie desperate with it.
Scrambling to wipe his hand off on his already ruined t-shirt, Eddie grips his phone with both hands and starts typing.
You listen to me so well
His phone already feels tacky with the remains of his come, but Eddie’s so focused on getting Richie off that he dismisses the thought. He can wipe his phone down later.
Do you want to come Richie? he asks, already knowing the answer.
yes Richie responds, just one word.
Eddie wants to see his face so fucking bad right now.
I wanna see it, he demands, typing furiously. I wanna watch your face as you come undone
Richie: anything plz eddie plz
Eddie groans, wishing for just a moment that he’d held off longer. Some horrible part of him wants to make Richie wait until he gets home so that Eddie can get off with him all over again, this time in person, but Richie’s been so good for him. He deserves to come too.
Fuck baby, Eddie types, trembling. Get yourself off for me.
He hesitates for a second, and then, but I want you to come in your shorts. Youre not allowed to pull your dick out
Eddie bites his lip, and pushes one last time.
thats my job, he says.
Richie’s bitmoji immediately disappears from the chat, and Eddie knows without a doubt that he’s getting himself off right now. He’s antsy as he waits, and it’s only because it takes so long that he manages to grab a wet wipe from his desk drawer to wipe down his phone, and then his dick.
It’s as he tucking himself back into his sweatpants and pulling off his ruined shirt that his phone goes off again.
He scrambles to play the video.
Richie’s back in the chair, legs spread wide and the heel of his hand digging hard against his dick. He's groaning as his hips kick into his palm, and his eyes keep fluttering shut, but he’s staring straight into the mirror, straight into the camera, straight into Eddie’s eyes.
The video gives Eddie a perfect view of Richie’s outfit again, and the way the fishnets dig into his skin. Eddie’s eyes drag down from the blue corset, tracing the lines of lace down his body to the waist-high shorts, the buttons hidden by Richie’s palm and the way he grinds into himself. He takes in the garters, no longer connected to the fishnets, like Richie had tugged on them until they’d pulled free. The fishnet stockings are shoved down his thighs as well, and the boots. Fuck, Eddie hadn’t known Richie could look so good in heels.
The video is shaky, and Eddie watches Richie work himself over. His hips thrust helplessly against the heel of his palm, and his cheat heaves with exertion. He’s not bothering to quiet himself, instead panting around soft grunts and moans that grow louder and louder with each passing second. Eddie watches as Richie’s eyes start to roll back, as they close, as his head tilts back and his mouth drops open with pleasure. His hips start to work harder, more desperate, lacking any coordination or rhythm.
His throat bobs, and Eddie soaks in the way Richie’s moans turn high-pitched and breathy, and then Richie is coming, his hips jerking erratically into the heel of Richie’s palm, before finally slowing to a stop. Richie slumps into himself, and his arm drops just as the video ends.
Fuck, fuck. Eddie doesn’t think he’s ever seen something so fucking hot. He can feel his dick stirring with interest again as he stares at their chat, his own demanding words staring back at him. He knows the whole conversation will be gone the moment Eddie leaves the screen, but he doesn’t want it to be gone just yet. He has two screenshots saved to his phone to remind him of how hot Richie looks in this cabaret outfit, but he doesn’t dare screenshot the words they’d said to each other. Instead, he scrolls slowly over their conversation and aches to do it again.
The cat’s out of the bag now. Eddie doesn’t want to forget this ever happened, and he’s pretty certain Richie doesn’t want to forget either.
He scrolls to the bottom of their chat and says you okay over there?
Richie: yueah just came mty brains out
Eddie laughs, feeling warm because he did that. He made Riche come.
Biting his bottom lip, Eddie tries, wanna come over and do it again?
Richie’s response is immediate.
Richie: fufck yeah
Eddie grins. Bring the shorts, he suggests, and then, for good measure, the garters too.
Richie: duck that, im bringinging the whole fuckiing outfit
Eddie throws his head back and laughs, clutching his phone tight to his chest, and thinking yeah, we’re finally doing this. It’s about damn time.

☆ sf9 x coworker!au | congrats on your first win!
youngbin
happily gives you a tour of the office on your first day
oh no! did you get a papercut? scrap your knee? get a headache? come to him and he will get you all better!
opens his drawer and it’s neatly organized - labels and color-coded rubber bands
takes criticism with grace you have never before seen, literally could be being torn to shreds by the boss and he just smiles and bows with the utmost respect
(screams about how stressed he is later on in the supply closet when no one is around to hear him)
won’t admit it, but envies the workers who have cute photos of their family and partners on their office desks,,,,,,,,,,when will he have that?
gets paired with you on a project and since you are new everyone thinks you’re just a burden
but youngbin leads you through it step by step, doing overtime if he has to just to help correct your work, and squeezing your hand gently before you have to present it to the managers
way too reserved to outright ask you on a date, but when you invite him to lunch he absolutely agrees and walks around the office with stars in his eyes for the rest of the day
inseong 
“hey, don’t do it like that! here let me show you the keyboard shortcut for it! hey you know that’s the old version of microsoft word right? hey! hey! you need my help i know you do!”
sticks his nose in everyone else's business even when his own work is piling up
wears bowties unironically
will talk shit about the higher-ups at lunch and then shower them in praise at company meetings
does not have a filter sometimes, but thankfully his brain and good looks have gotten him out of some tricky situations with clients
pokes his head over his cubicle to ask his best friend jaeyoon the most stupid questions
“jaeyoon, am i annoying?”
“inseong finish the financial report before we both get fired.”
you get an error screen on your computer so you ask inseong for some help
the entire walk to your office, he’s telling you that he’s pretty much a computer genius - like he didn’t go to school for computer science - but if he wanted he could totally just be in the IT department
but when he looks at your computer for about five minutes, he presses something and the whole thing just. dies.
spends time bribing an unwilling, way more tech-savvy chani to come and help you out
and when chani finally agrees, it takes him like two seconds to fix the problem, but before he goes he tells you “inseong just made it worse, watch out for him.”
inseong sticks his tongue out, but gets embarrassingly apologetic in front of you, but you tell him it’s fine - jokingly commenting “being so cute gets you out of trouble alot, right?”
inseong can’t stop thinking about it for weeks - did, did that mean that YOU think HE’S cute?
jaeyoon: hey. snap out of it and get to work dude
jaeyoon
shows up to work with his gym bag, changes in the bathroom, and comes out looking more put together than half the other guys
do not touch his protein shake and salad 
it is over for you if you do
always gets roped into doing the heavy lifting and a part of him is too nice to say no, but the other part is like - this is going to be a great squat workout so why not
secretly judges hwiyoung and taeyang for always buying lunch like learn to cook
best butt in the office, maybe even the building
has gotten propositioned by higherups and he’s always turning them down in the most roundabout, kind way
“are you free this weekend jaeyoon?”
“oh i wish i was, id love to spend some time with you - but i have to take care of my grandmother’s ailing........parakeet.”
keeps buying supplies for himself that keeps getting stolen
and everyone is like it’s inseong. he’s taking them. and jaeyoon is like nooooooo he’s my bestie he would never
(he did though)
you ask jaeyoon one day if you should get into running - you’ve wanted to pick it up for a while but don’t know where to start
suddenly his eyes are twinkling and he’s grabbing your hands in his like 
“let me show you the wonderful world of exercise!”
you didn’t know what you were getting into, but now you somehow end up morning jogging with jaeyoon
one day dawon spots both of you coming in with duffel bags and he’s like “oooooo did you spend the night together?” and you turn tomato red
as jaeyoon, without a hint of shame goes, “no! but we did just break a sweat together - right!?”
dawon: oh my god
you: oh my god
jaeyoon: what- what did i say?
dawon 
designated office party planner 
it’s your birthday? someone in HR is having a baby? it’s friday and everyone looks sad so it’s up to dawon to make it better - well here he goes
coffee stain central up on this boy
every time he gives a presentation, someone ends up going like “did that even make sense?”
and dawon, at this point is like, “no i dont make sense. so stop asking. anyway - that’s what i think the company should do about lost net profit.”
when he’s getting scolded for a mistake, he somehow ends up saying something that leaves the manager in a fit of laughter
which results in him never really getting into trouble 
(much to the annoyance of other coworkers cough zuho cough)
photocopies his face like he’s in third grade
doesn’t give back the pens he borrows 
knocks over taeyang’s plants on a daily basis and blames rowoon’s tall ass for it
he recruits you into going cake shopping after work for chani’s birthday and as you’re looking at them
you notice how hard he’s working to pick a flavor chani likes
and you point out how sentimental he really is about his coworkers and dawon shrugs and for a moment you see a bit of seriousness as he explains, “they put up with me - so i want to thank them in one way.”
you frown, “what do you mean they put up with you? you’re the sunshine of the office!”
the words make dawon bashful and shy for what seems like the first time in his life and he plays it off like a joke to distract you from the fac that
well that you made clown lee dawon all blushy
rowoon
his mom bought him this shirt and no he isn’t embarrassed. his mom has great taste. obviously.
slow typer 
unlike inseong, whose tall lanky body can slink past anything like water, rowoon is clumsy
hits his head on door frames, walks into tall file cabinets, his knees his the top of the table during meetings and he gets all apologetic
higherups have tried to convince him to be in a commercial to promote the company but he’s so humble he doesn’t think he’s worthy
dawon from some corner: ill do it
walks into work with his headphones and forgets to take them off until youngbin is practically yelling for him to turn around
bothers chani every hour on the dot
says he just walked over to stretch his legs but really he just wants to see what chani is up to
gets giddy over sparkly new things like the coffee machine being replaced 
or getting a new work laptop 
one afternoon, you’re really busy typing up a report that when a shadow looms over you - you nearly don’t notice it
until, out of the corner of your eye you glance up and let out a yelp because rowoon is bending over you to squint at your screen
“sorry, oh gosh i didn’t mean to scare you!”
his wide eyes turn puppy-like with apology and you suddenly feel like you’re the guilty party for making such a sweet person sad
when you ask if he needs help or something, rowoon nods and explains that the report you’re working on references an old report he did and he needs to tell you about some changes
without thinking twice he leans over you, both hands on either side of you as he places his large hand over yours on the mouse
you freeze as he clicks around till he opens his report, and feel something shiver up your spine when he talks close against your ear
rowoon is so oblivious, he doesn’t even catch you tensing up, until inseong strolls buy and wolf whistles at you two
(rowoon proceeds to apologize for this incident for the next month straight)
taeyang
last to arrive, first to leave
what does he even do here? no one really knows - sometimes they think he’s just sitting in his office and daydreaming for the entire eight hour work day
his phone is always going off with notifications, but if you send him a text in the work gc he does not respond
gets up to disappear into the bathroom like five times in an hour, compulsively brushes his teeth and puts on hand cream
keeps potted plants on his desk which are named after his favorite celebrities
yes, there is a jongin cacti, don’t make fun of it 
when asked a question at meetings, he answers slow and steady and in such a low voice that no one knows what he said
but no one ever asks him to speak up because when he looks at you
he’s looking at you with such an intensity that most people choose to keep their mouth shut
like jaeyoon, some higherups are interested in him, but there’s rumors that he’s probably a secret royal living among the normal populace for fun so no one really tries it
one day, you see taeyang at the water cooler and say a bubbly hello
he responds with a tiny nod and then you ask, “is the water for you or for your plants?”
he blinks and explains that it’s for his plants - which you get all excited about and ask if you can meet them
which catches him off guard because no one has ever asked to “meet” his plants, actually most people think it’s weird that he harbors them so closely
so when he leads you over to his desk - he’s even more astounded with how you get excited over the different names and types
and you thank him for letting you know about all of them
waving goodbye as you leave the office 
he tells himself to think nothing of it, but when he finds a stack of plant nutrient packets on his desk the next day with a note from you 
he thinks,,,,,,,,,,well finally - there’s someone of interest to him in this otherwise boring office after all 
zuho
finishes all his projects the night before
has spent nights in the office
almost scared rowoon half to death when he left and said bye to zuho and when he came in the next day zuho was in the same spot, wearing the same thing, staring at the same open file
rowoon had thought he had been like. mummified
the slacks he wears are too short, dawon will not stop pointing this out
pictures of his cat in his office
every secret santa they’ve ever done, zuho gets cat toys 
mutters about being overworked, but really if he just ,,,,,,,, if he just did his work at a reasonable hour - it’d be fine
gets antsy when he’s eating and catches anyone else eating - but like with their hands
like he’ll be enjoying his lunch, but his anxiety hits the roof when he turns and sees that taeyang has spilled sauce on his tie and hasn’t noticed
“please smile more - you’re scaring the client”
you’re having a late lunch one afternoon - so you’re alone in the break room
and zuho comes in, slumping over into the seat beside you and pulling his own lunch from his bag
you haven’t ever talked much with him before so it’s a bit awkward
when suddenly you hear him ask, 
“is that a - is that a cat lunch box?”
you feel your face flush with embarrassment, and you try to explain that you’re going to buy a new - more professional looking one - 
but zuho shakes his head and lifts the cover to see the cartoon orange cat and 
and giggles?!?!?!
and you’re like omg what he looks so cute, he usually looks so intimidating but right now he looks like??? a baby???
and he goes “no, no don’t change it. it’s so nice. also finally, someone with some decency to bring a lunch box - sometimes dawon just fishes half-eaten food out of his backpack and i die a little inside.”
you and zuho bond over being cat people and proper tableside manners LOL
hwiyoung
could give less of a shit about this job
is vocal about it too
youngbin has been trying to get him to wear something more business-y since he started here but if you put a tie on hwiyoung
in like an hour you’ll find it in the trashcan
“why can’t you just wear it?”
“it makes my neck feel weird.”
everyone thought he was this cold, selfish young guy until one day the entire office heard him on a phone call with his sister
getting all mushy and hearing her call him his “cute baby brother”
after that, even if he was trying to death glare at dawon, it wasn’t working
because now he’s the offices “cute baby brother”
even though chani is younger than him LOL
secretly tries to play video games during work hours by switching between tabs
and taeyang is like c’mon we’re not that bad with computer - but rowoon is like woah wait you can do two different things???? at once????? on a computer????
hates to admit it to anyone, but he doesn’t have a drivers licenses so he gets dropped off by friends sometimes
sometimes has to ask youngbin for a ride home and youngbin is like of course!!!!!! anything for a coworker :D
and hwiyoung is like hhhh how are you so happy all the time butalsothankyou
too self-conscious to whip out his glasses so he suffers through contacts
you bump into hwiyoung on the subway, which you never see him take, and can tell he’s lost
because he rushes up to you like he’s never done before and is like are you going to the office!!!!
you and him take the ride together and when you open your phone to play your favorite game - his eyes light up like christmas
and he spends the half hour helping you get passed the harder bosses
you almost miss your stop because you two are way too engrossed in the game and ever since then
hwiyoung thinks you’re one of the “cool” office people
chani
everyone adores him 
from his coworkers to the mailman to the secretary to the higherups
all he has to do is show up and everyone is like - in a better mood
which he doesn’t get because most of the time he’s frowning or running away from rowoon
has to fix everyone’s tech problems
but won’t do it for free - so people give them their lunches or even, in extremes, bargain off vacation days
hwiyoung is the only person who doesn’t really coddle him and therefore hwiyoung is the only person chani willingly goes out to lunch wtih
rowoon: chaniiiiiii what are you eating today!
chani: sorry im going to ,,,,,, brazil for lunch, see you in 2-5 business days
he just wants to work in peace and quiet
it took him an hour to explain to inseong how the bluetooth on his phone works
he is the quintessential “look into the camera like you’re on the office” mood
someone from billing tried to flirt with him at the christmas party and nearly was falling over into his lap
and he was like “,,,,,,,,,,are you sick?”
actually really proud of himself when he gets complimented on his work, but he refuses to show a change in emotion
you’re tinkering with an old monitor in the supply room to see if you can fix it and take it home since youngbin said they’ll be throwing it away
and chani walks by just in time to hear inseong tell you to ask chani for help
you wave it off, explaining you don’t want to bother him 
and chani tries to walk away, but finds himself working on the monitor during lunch and then shyly and unsurely handing it over to you 
“wh- did you fix it?”
“yeah, nothings really wrong with it but -”
“thanks! should i treat you to lunch sometime?”
chani’s already wide eyes go wider and he agrees, stuttering over his words
later on he finds jaeyoon and zuho and without even explaining the situation he asks
“is going to lunch with a coworker what they call a date?”
in about two seconds everyone except you is in the room, pestering chani for information and rowoon is sobbing because ‘chani is finally growing up’

Okay sooo this is obviously for if you feel like it/ if you have time, and I dont know if you take requests, but I think a highschool Chreon AU with a badass vendetta leon (who practices some form of gymnastics/acrobatics/jujitsu) would be lovely. You are a fantastic writer! Keep up the lords work ❤❤
(Not sure how to decipher this request so have some Chreon Gym Teachers AU, PS, I don’t know a lot about gymnastics.)
It wasn’t that Chris should have probably been paying attention to his own paperwork for his Health Class tomorrow, but he probably should have been actually doing his paperwork and not drooling over it. Nor should he have been watching his fellow gym teacher and coworker do his stretches and exercising while the gym was empty. 
It was after school, and the whole building was essentially empty at this time of night, which was rare for a winter day, considering how many sports and after-school activities usually took place. But, today, it was primarily due to the weather raging outside that had caused an early dismissal earlier in the day and the cancellations of clubs and activities. 
Chris had decided to stay after to work on some paperwork and assignments for his future health classes, but was currently distracted with Mr. Kennedy, his fiance who had decided to stay after work with him, but decided to occupy his boredom with the gym equipment. 
Which is why Chris was having such difficulty in completing the job he was trying to accomplish so they could go home, cuddle up with some hot cocoa and a hot dinner and watch the snow. 
He looked through the viewing window, watching as Leon stood on the balance beam, bending forward with two hands before grasping the bar. Long, lean legs kicked up, Chris watching anxiously but with a hint of excitement as Leon began walking on his hands. The man’s back bent backward, legs now arching slightly before planting themselves behind Leon’s head, the brunette using his core strength to bring himself back into an upright position. 
Chris watched as the brunette did it again, but going slightly faster, doing whole flips now. Chris often wondered how his beautiful fiance was able to achieve such impossible feats without slipping or falling off the balance beam, but then he reminded himself of the medals, pictures, and even the sparkly unitards that were sitting in storage in their basement. Right next to all of Leon’s Jiu Jitsu stuff. 
That had been a long time ago, though, Leon preferring to sometimes forget about all of that due to his parents’ deaths. Though, there were times like this that gymnastics and shadow sparring/practice would put Leon in a jovial mood while also occupying his boredom and just...clear his head for a while. 
And Chris would be lying if he said that he didn’t genuinely enjoy watching Leon practice. Seeing the younger happy made Chris happy. 
Though it was definitely a wonder how Leon had managed to achieve some awesome feats in jeans and a t-shirt. He had taken his boots off and was still in his socks, and Chris was surprised he hadn’t slipped, but at the same time, he really wasn’t. Leon held all the skill and grace of an Olympian Gymnast and had been training his whole life up until his parents had died. He had been so devastated that he let the opportunity to go further pass him by. It was honestly heartbreaking. 
But, Leon decided to focus his energy on helping others, becoming a Gym Teacher at Raccoon City High School and doing work during the summer at a gymnastics studio. He also would occasionally accompany his students at said studio for the Summer Gymnastics Competitions, having coached many talented kids. 
And although he and Chris had worked at the same school for many years, Chris had “officially” met him at a Competition one summer. He had originally been there to support Jill and Carlos’s little girl, who was in one of the Junior Olympics Competitions. Leon had been her coach, whom both Jill and Josy praised, Josy saying that Leon was her favorite teacher. Carlos just laughed, saying that he didn’t know the guy personally, but Jill and Josy seemed to like him. Josy had been the one to introduce them. 
Chris had treated his “niece” to ice cream, and even invited the coach to come with them. Chris had spent time with Leon even after Jill, Josy and Carlos had gone home. It had also been Leon who suggested going on a second date, Leon inviting Chris to go see this movie he had been contemplating seeing for a while, picking up pizza beforehand. Of course, Chris accepted, and then from there on out, they had dated and then eventually Leon had proposed on their “Fourth Anniversary, the two going on a trip to the mountains and staying at Chris’s friend’s cabin. 
It warmed Chris’s heart thinking about it, again, not focusing on his work like he was supposed to. 
“Hey, Big Guy!” Leon called up, now standing on his hands and walking across the balance beam, his legs stretched out and lifted slightly so he could waddle across, “You almost done up there?” 
Chris righted himself, clearing his throat before pressing the button on the intercom, “Uh, yeah!” He lied with a chuckle, “I’m halfway through!” 
“Really?” Leon asked, legs, moving back up into the air and then doing another backbend before standing upright once more, standing on tiptoes, “Cause it looked like you were gawking at me again.” 
“I was not!” Chris protested, making the younger laugh, “I was...well…”
“It’s alright,” Leon laughed, “Why don’t you just call it a day? It’s not like we’re gonna have school tomorrow anyway and then it’s the weekend.” 
Chris sighed, scratching the back of his neck before giving a nod of agreement. He packed up his paperwork and put it in a manila folder and then put it inside of his messenger bag. He looked up and saw Leon now stretching out his limbs before bending over to grab his boots. Once Chris met him down on ground level, Leon had Chris’s sweatshirt on underneath his leather jacket, adjusting his beanie as they stood by the backdoor to the faculty parking lot. 
“So,” Leon asked, pushing open the door and holding it open for Chris, “Whatcha making me?” 
Chris chuckled, pulling his jacket closer before pulling Leon along with an arm around the shorter man’s waist. The two of them talked about dinner possibilities while making their way to Chris’s truck. The snow dancing around them as the streetlights lit their way.

I finally finish typing up my first daydream post, I'm a little rusty, I haven't wrote a daydream in a min, so my wiriting style/voice is kind of weird in the beginning, but I'll be slowly getting back into more consistent style the more I write so...yeah
Also my dyslexia be wild so typos are prolly lurking below 
Word Count: 4,817
TW: Loneliness, and Depression
Tumblr media
_________________________________________
“And there” Vanessa said as she set down the last mini chair in the scenic outdoor cafe, set in a large old fish tank, she sat crossed legged on her greenhouse ( which was made from an old stranded ufo) floor surround by mini plant people, whose bodies were made of all types of colorful flora, and some fungi, tiny oohs and ahhs shared among them as they gazed at her creation. “Alright, everyone I declare the Sweet Alyssum Cafe to now be OPEN!” She announced. cutting mini red ribbon with regular size scissors. The succulent subjects quickly swarmed their new digs, enjoying every small detail Vanessa had put into the place, most of the stuff was made out of household objects, everything from the candle lit stove to the little chairs made out of paperclips bottle caps. She even decorated the area with some of her mini animal wood sculptures. It wasn’t long before the plant people started sitting down, taking orders, enjoying sweets and chatting amongst each other. One of the flora being who took the role of chef, invited Vanessa to join in the “grand opening” festivities by offering her a large honey (which was large to them but about the same size as half of a twinkie)
“Oh, man I would love to join you guys, but I still got some things to take care of” she took the sweet offering from the chef’s tiny hands “but I’ll be sure to hang out later, promise” she added a wink before taking a bite of the sweet cake.
This gesture brought a smile to the tiny chef’s face, and he firmly nodded before eagerly running back into the cafe to continue his job.
Vanessea took another bite of the miniature cake before standing up and dusting off her patchy paint splatter sparkly, bunny, and flower embroidered overalls, layered on top of her pastel nasa star studded tee. She exited the greenhouse and crossed the bridge that connected to her room.
She kicked off her garden boots and headed to her room. Vanessa’s room was adorned with plants hanging from the ceiling, the floor splatter with paint the amount of splatters grew closer to the creative nook the area under her loft bed a that Vanesssa use for her painting or potion making, complete with a cluderen pot, a bookcase filled with various spell books, magic ingredients, other magical nit naks, art books, paint brushes, and an easel with some canvas leaning against the wall. One side of the room had a top roll drawer desk, where her PC sat and drawers filled journaling/scrapbooking supplies. The desk was decorated with plants in jars, pots, old soda cans reused as pencil cups and pots, cute mini figures of animals and other cute creatures ( like moogels and pokemon).
Next to her desk was a small compact kitchen where she liked to make tea and other cute snacks when she was too lazy to go downstairs to the actual kitchen. There was a rack with various different types of tea packs mixed in with hot chocolate mix. There also sat her tea pot that was white and had cute little bunny ears on top. The other side of the room was a door that led to the bathroom and her large closet was in front of the room.
Vanessa climbed the ladder to her loft bed, where her furry companions were still asleep, usually Vanessa won’t mind sleeping in with her beloved buddies. But today she had to wake up early to finally finish the cafe for the plant people, so they would all have a nice place to have breakfast together.
Vanessa watched for a moment as her small long eared bunny friend, she named Flaps, slept bundled up in his scarf on top of the much larger yellow, fluffy yet shaggy haired, long ear dog/bear like creature, she named Buddy. While it was cute to watch the two sleep, she knew if she didn’t wake them up for breakfast they both would be pretty upset about it , especially Flaps despite his small size the little guy can put away a ton!
“Come on, guys it's time to wake up, you dont wanna miss breakfast, do you?” Vanessa said nudging her furry friends. Buddy slowly opened his eyes and took a big long yawn and stretched, this motion awoke Flap, who rubbed his eyes with ears and let it a smaller yawn. Buddy looked up and wagged his tail in delight to wake up to a friendly face, Flaps flutter up by his wings and sleepily nodded his head. Vanessa giggled and softly patted Flaps on the head before placing him in her overalls pocket to let him rest a bit longer, Buddy hopped on the homemade dumb waiter as she climbed down the ladder and pulled on pulley of the dumbwaiter to let buddy down and placed him on the floor. She walked downstairs to the sun lit, flower wallpapered, cozy kitchen, Buddy hopped up on a chair with some books stacked on top , patiently yet excitedly waiting for breakfast to be done.
Vanessa quickly whipped up some fluffy, yet super gooey chocolate chip pancakes, decorated extra chocolate chips, strawberries that were freshly picked from her garden, and all topped with mountains of whipped cream,with chocolate syrup.
“Breakfast’s ready” Vanessa said with a smile, holding the plates of pancakes in
Buddy chowed down on the pancakes as soon as Vanessa set the plate down, and the amora from the pancakes served as a pretty good wake up call for Flaps, who sprung right up, and started to devour the flapjack stack. Vanessa smiled and turned around to get to her own plate and she also made herself some tea, she took out a newspaper to read to see if she could find someone in need, or some big event to take part in to kickstart her new adventure, but today's news seem pretty slow today just stuff about an ongoing election in a far off land and someone found their lost cat..aww..how sweet.
"Hmm...nothing in the news today, I guess I could just chill today, maybe I could just work on some terraforming" Vanessa said looking outside at the flower flooded terrain, she had made a forest in the backyard with a lake,a cave that led to an underground lake in the center of a flower field, and a few rivers. It was a beautiful area, but more could be added, a beach, or one of those little gazebo things, or a designated area for picnics, but the backyard lake is already good for those.
While thinking about cool terraforming ideas, Vanessa heard a knock at the door. Vanessa went to investigate.
"Morning, Ms. Vanessa, you've got mail!" said her post-man, a half jackalope half elf fellow as he bowed , Jack as he pushed up his circular specs and handed her a handful letters.
"Thanks, Jack" She said as she took the mail from his hands. "You wanna come in and chat for a while, I got some tea and strawberry chocolate chip pancakes."
"Thats sounds wonderful!" Jack said as his ears perked up, the freckles on his face seemed to lit up and he got a starry excited look in his eyes, he took in deep breath, the aroma of the pancakes were strong enough he could smell them from outside, and he was almost so captaivitaed by the smell he almost fell over, but then quickly shook his head as to get rid of the idea. "B-but the last time I stuck around my boss gave me an earful..."
"Okay, but if you ever wanna hangout, my door's always opened"Vanessa said as she gave a sympathetic shrug
" That's very sweet of you, but I'll be off , uh tell Buddy and Flaps, I said 'Hello'!" Jack said as he waved goodbye to continue his route.
Letters, Vanessa always got a ton them , but never from the same people every time, since most of them were busy people, but it was a nice way to keep in touch with all people she met on her travels,since some of them didn't have phone, or sometimes didn't even know what a phone was, and she found letter to be away more personal. She flipped through the batch of letters as she walked back to the kitchen, this batch came from a friendly, cute photographer, a fashionable bewitching lady, some letters from a group of masked vigilantes, and a letter from an old friend.
“Whoa, look guys it's a letter from Del!” Vanessa said gleefully, showing the letter to Flaps and Buddy. Flaps squeaked in delight and Buddy wagged his tail with joy. Vanessa quickly opened the letter and started reading….
Hey, Vanessa
Sorry, I haven’t gotten around to talking or writing to you as much as I feel like I should.There’s just so much going on, I’ve took your advice from the last letter you sent me, and I’ve started to sell my seashell necklaces on the beach to make extra money, I’ve kind of opened a shop, well the owner of the surf shack let me set up my shop in the area where he used to sell his homemade kombucha (which no one brought well except for me, but I just did that because I felt so sorry for the guy, but I do feel relief that I don’t have to chug that stuff just to keep myself from vomiting anymore ). Christi has start her own atelier teaching people how to make clothes and dresses while making her own clothing line, she also wants the atelier to become a hip place for all the cool people in town to hang, so she’s going to start selling some of her sweets there as well, While Nikki has started her own yoga studio, where she teaches yoga (well, duh) and aerobics, with some help from Christi she also sells some athletic clothing as well (but she makes sure to tell Christi not to make the outfits too fancy and frilly) and she has been training for the town’s sports day games this year.
Naomi got a job at the Zoo taking care of the animals, her animal-talking abilities come in pretty hand, she climbed the ranks from elephant cleaner to head zookeeper pretty quickly, she loves being the camp counselor for when zoo camp starts in the summer, if we wouldn’t listen to her nerding out about animal facts, those little kids sure well, and look to her as some type of animal goddess, it so cute. While we’re still working on our dream jobs, and figuring out what we want to do with our lives, we still make time for our mayor squad tasks, things have gotten so much easier for me ever since I let the other girls help with my mayoral tasks, and thanks for pushing to make that decision by the way. At first we let citizens visit our home if they were in need of help for a task or to make a suggestion, but that got annoying real quick, you won’t believe the amount of people who would show in the middle of the night asking for help to look for their cat, so we made a separate build far way from our house, its about the size of a clubhouse but it does the job. Its there where we take people’s suggestions and at select hours of the day 5 to 8 pm because that fits in with most of our job schedules on Mon-Fri, but 10 to 6 on weekends, so we can still sleep in and have some girl time and movie night afterwards.
Its been fun sharing the town task, it always becomes a mini adventure like the type we used to have when you were around, our next big task is celebrating the town’s 13 anniversary. Naomi said that we shouldn’t because its bad luck, but I want to do it because I really like the movie 13 year, and I want to do something big to prove to myself that I can make a big event without screwing it up..so yeah...hehe. That’s gonna be a thing, I’m kind of nervous, it's times like this I wish you were here, but I KNOW I can do it! I just gotta believe, right? Sorry, if this letter is really long, its just that SOOO much stuff has happened, and I’m busy and then I feel like you’re busy. I don’t wanna slow you down or annoy you, maybe I just miss talking to you..I guess or whatever. I think that’s all I have to update you on...OH wait I forgot to mention...uh.. I maybe...kind of.. like... have a..boyfriend now. Yeah, I met him while we were delivering apples to the annual gala, I kind of bumped into him there, then I started to bump into him EVERYWHERE! I kept running from him because of how embarrassed I felt, and I thought that would make him give up on me, but then he just came to the house and asked me out, and I couldn’t say no so I said yes, of course. He’s real sweet and has the cutest little sister and-- Whoa this letter’s long enough, I guess I'll fill you in later, whenever I get time to sit down and write again. Hope I didn’t waste your time.
From, Del
(P.S I enclosed this letter with a necklace I made just for you, I added a mini jar to this which something I just start doing with my necklaces, I hope I actually remember to put it in the letter, and it actually looks good)
Vanessa shook the letter for more of the contents, the sea shell necklace fell out of the letter with a small clang as it hit the table. She picked up gingerly and looked at it, running her fingers over the textures of each and every seashell,mini starfish, appreciated every little detail in the small jar of beach sand. “Oh, Del” Vanessa said fondly. She quickly went to the hallway mirror, and it looked even lovelier in the mirror and surprisingly it matched with her outfit. Vanessa couldn’t stop grinning, she felt like she could stand and look at it for hours, but it also gave her a nostalgic feeling, she thought about all the adventures she had with Bree and the other girls, how much fun it was to set up parties, parades, and grand opening, she got that similar feeling from holding the mini grand opening for the plant people’s nature cafe. It was nice to see people enjoy what you made, this thought got Vanessa really thinking,
“Hey, since I don’t have anything big to do today, why don’t I pay a visit to Well Sun Valley?” Vanessa said, thinking out loud while looking at her furry friends, who nodded in agreement. “Yeah, wait let’s not just make it a visit I could just like you know, stay” she nodded as she headed back to the kitchen and placed the breakfast plates and cups in the sink “Yeah, I mean still have my wrap stones from all the other places I’ve visited before, so if I need to go back to those place I’m pretty set” she began quickly wash and rinsing the plates, while passively passing them to Flaps, who held up a plate, so Buddy could dry them with his tail. “Shame that I didnt make a wrap stone to Well Sun before I left, but I didn’t even how to make those back then, so its alright, I can just take the train….”
she looked at the clock “Oof, I gotta start packing” Vanessa quickly rushed out the kitchen, but then backtracked and gathered the other letters, and raced up stairs. Vanessa entered her walk-in closet and dragged out her pink and purple holographic suitcase and started to grab a few outfits, while changing her current outfit to a strawberry tee, with a plaid skirt.
She also packed her travel journal to share her adventures, some books and her laptop to keep herself entertained on the train. Once she was done pack she then went to her desk to read and sent responses to the other letters she got, she was debating if she should send a letter to Del or not, she settled on not because she was coming anyways and wanted it to be a surprise! She looked up the time for when the nearest train depart to Well Sun Valley, the nearest one was about to leave itin 45 minutes. Vanessa held out her hand and thought, and two tickets quickly manifested in her hands “Aw, man my manifest powers still need work, I thought too hard” she said, she inspected the tickets closely and she got the important train details right..
“Let’s go” Vanessa said as she placed Flaps on her shoulder and bounced out the chair, grabbed her suitcase, and headed outside with Buddy following behind, she made a stop at the mailbox to put her letters in, she bounced on the wrap portal. She was teleported into a bush and stumbled out “Oof, got to work on those teleportation skills” Vanessa shook her head to regain her equalium. She looked around to see that she landed near a train station that was a small station in a valley across from a lake, not far from a small town. She ran to get in line, but was stopped in her tracks when she saw the no animals sign. “Oof, time to hide, guys” Flaps hid in Vanessa loose curly hair, and Buddy made himself invisible. “Great”
She loaded in with the another passengers and was show by one of the workers to her room in the sleeper car, her room had two beds one on each side.
"Guess, I lucked out" Vanessa shrugged to herself. She placed her luggage under one of the seats, but not before taking out her laptop. It would take 2 days to reach Well Sun Valley, so might as well enjoy the ride. Vanessa headed to the dining car, watch some videos while she soak up the atmosphere,and to see if the cafe has any cute treats.
Vanessa found herself a nice seat near the back so she could get a good scoop of everything. She wanted to get lost in the murmurs of background conversations, the light clanking of plates, cups and utseils, the humming from the coffee machine and warm auroma that was wafing from it that mixed pleasently with savory smell coming from the kitchen
she peered up to check to see if her island was following her and it was, set up her laptop, despite the train having a rustic old times aesthetic the wifi was pretty good, and order herself a cute strawberry parfait.
Vanessa patted Buddy on the head as he snuggled up right next to her, other than the morning rush everything went pretty smoothly. Might as well just sit and enjoy the atmosphere, but just as she was about to, the back door bursted opened, Vanessa turned to see a guy coming out of the back door, he was hunched over--his knees were almost down to floor. At first his face was covered by a mount of messy almost shaggy blond hair. He shook his head vigorously revealing his bright blue eyes that contracted loudly against his ghostly pale skin his face sprinkled with freckles, he had orange headphones that hung around his neck, The blue eyes were surrounded by dark circles,he wore a black turtleneck tunic, and he looked like he was being almost swallowed whole by his baggy orange jacket that draped his shoulders. His blue orbs widened looking like they couldn't believe the scene they were witnessing.
"Oh, oh, God! P-people!? There are actual people!!Thank God!"He said falling to knees taken aback "I-I'm out,I'm out, I'm ACTUAL OUT. T-that means I can find him, I FINALLY--" He tried to run, but ended up tripping over his own feet. "Whoa, gotta sit down a sec" said to himself as he slugged into an empty booth nearby.
Vanessa was pretty confused by what she just saw, a random dude just came out of the baggage car. He didn't seem like a stowaway, he didn't seem sneaky at all, and the fact that didn't even know he was on the train til now. The other passengers were too into their own businesses to worry about what's going on at the back of the car. Vanessa was going to investigate herself, but her stream of thoughts was interruptes by a voice.
"Excuse ma'am, may I see your ticket" said the conductor with his hand out ticket ready
"Oh sure, here" Vanessa as she handed over her ticket.
The conductor punched her ticket and promptly handed it back to her "Thank you, ma'am, hope you enjoy your trip"he gave her a consumer friendly smile, and walked to back
"Hmm..I wonder if I could add his to my travel scrapbook" Vanessa said as looked at her punched ticket.
"Wait no, please let me stay on the train" said a panicked voice from the back.
"I'm sorry, sir but I cannot let you ride the ride without a ticket, I must ask to leave or I will be forced to remove you from the train myself!"
"No, please you don't understand I NEED to be on the train!" The boy said practically begging
"I will not stand for this nonsense on my train" the conductor said as he stomped his foot " You have left me with no choice"
The conductor grabbed the boy by his baggy jacket as he held onto the table for dear life! " NO PLEASE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! I HAVE NOWHERE GO!!!
"Well then, you have no business being on this train then"
"WAIT!" Vanessa shouted, making the two stop dead in their tracks. "He's with me!" She held up her extra ticket like it was some holy item. "Sorry, I completely forgot to give you your ticket uh…" she slowly gestured toward the boy.
"Oh, uh Nick!" The boy said as he perked up "Yeah, I'm definitely with her" he pointed toward Vanessa. The conductor let go of Nick and took a closer look at the extra ticket, he looked back at Nick, who gave a sheepish smile, then punched the ticket "Sorry for the misunderstanding, sir." The scary harsh persona the conductor was replaced with a consumer friendly smile. "Enjoy your trip" The conductor returned the ticket and walked away
"Oh God, Thank you!" Nick said as he heaved a sigh "you're a lifesaver" The boy stood up straight all that slouching really did hid his almost towering height compared to Vanessa.
"My goodness, you look awful!" Vanessa said with consider in her voice as she gazed at the disshloved boy in front of her "Where did you come from?"
"It's a long story.." Nick mumbled rubbing the back of his head, just then a growling noise came from his stomach
"I wouldn't mind take some time from my two day trip, hear your origin story over some burgers and fries" Vanessa suggested gesturing towards her table
__________________________
"Hmm I never would have an old times train car to have such hardy burgers on their menu" Vanessa said looking at the posh, script-written menu and then looking at the hamburger meat that was wrapped bacon, topped with cheese that dripped slow as it melted from the heat of the hamburger, topped with cold tomatoes and lettuce all hugged up in two soft buns, served with some nuggets and fries.
Vanessa only had a small bit of the meaty mount, she was already content with her parfait from earlier, while Nick was wolfing his burger like he hadn’t seen food in forever, she never seen some eat food so fast, Nick became quite sheepish when he realized Vanessa was looking at him. “Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to act like a slob, I just can’t remember the last time I saw food--actually I can’t remember the last time I saw anything.” He wiped his face with a napkin thoughtfully, then timidly gazed at Vanessa’s plate.
“No, no its fine, I just never guess someone as lanky and skinny as you could put away so much” Vanessa explained then she gently pushed her plate towards Nick, “Here, you can have my plate, I had a parfait earlier so I’m pretty full”
“Oh, thank you” Nick said, accepting her offer, and took no time going ham on the beef.
“No problem, you said earlier that you were walking in the middle of nowhere?”
“Yeah, It felt like I was just walking forever, like years but I was getting nowhere, everything was so white it was almost blinding.”
“Do you remember how you got there in the first place, what was your life like before?”
“My life was pretty normal, I lived in a pretty small town, I had friends, I went to school, I used to go rollerskating alot, even I had a job kind of.” Nick said put down the sandwich, and looked out the window thoughtfully “The last thing I remember was that I finally got to talk to this cool guy, I was so happy because he really clicked. I would always see him around and we would chat here and there , but we never really got to have a real conversation, his friend was super protective of him--his friend didn’t get along with my friend, they were always at each others throats, so I rarely got to talk to the guy in a peaceful setting for long. Until one day when my best friend literally pushed me to talk to him, we just started talking and it was just so awesome, it was the last best day I remember having. I felt like I was finally getting somewhere with him and then next thing I know I woke up on the cold hard white floor all alone, with nothing for miles.” Nick started to passively rub the streaks of ketchup on his plate with a lone french fry. “I didn’t sleep or eat, I couldn’t feel anything but emptiness, not only did I lose track of time, I started to lose myself..if was terrifying”
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry...” Vanessa said, she couldn’t imagine being alone like that for so long.
“Yeah, but I’m out of it now LITERALLY, I can finally find him now, I was planning to share something important with him before I woke up in the void. I don’t know where he is but I think this train might lead me to him. Where’s this train going again?”
“Just a sweet town called Well Sun Valley,” Vanessa said proudly “I used to live there a long time ago but now I’m coming back to stay.”
“You think I might find my friend there?” Nick said his eyes gleamed with hope.
“Well, Sun Valley is known for having the magical ability to bring the most interesting people together, I would say there’s a good chance”Vanessa said with a firm nod
“Oh, that’s a relief” Nick yawned his head now resting on his arms, his head slowly tiling to the left, his eyes blinking fighting back sleepiness. “I’m sorry, I think all that walking is finally catching up to me” Nick let his heavy eyes droop closed as he gave into the urge to sleep, all the nervous energy that harvested in body seem to vanish and was replaced by peaceful slow pace breathing, his face sporting rosy cheeks that seemed to have gotten redder than when he was awake.
“Aw..”Vanessa said looking at the sleeping boy, the poor guy deserve some rest after what he’s been through, but then so realized “Oh, wait I’m going to have to carry him back to the sleeping car” Vanessa was unsure if her magic would work in the area the train was currently in, plus the dining car was pretty much packed at this hour even for late lunch, and she wasn’t so sure if any of these passengers had see magic before nor how they would react to the site of a boy floating in mid air. “I guess I’m just going to have to do this the hard way” Buddy climbed up to the table to eat what was left of the sandwich Nick was eating, and Flaps emerged out of Vanessa's hair to munch on the leftover fries.
“Would you two mind helping me with this” Vanessa said nodding towards the exhausted Nick, Buddy and Flap both sighed and shrugged…

ᴅᴇꜱᴛɪɴʏ ᴇʀɪᴋ x ʙʟᴀᴄᴋʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ
a/n : i wrote this at 3 am, please ignore any errors, will fix up later
                 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You really did not want to be here.
The air was cold and you were hangry and the girls you were with were so focused on taking pictures they didn't even noticed you had turned your back on them. You didn't feel comfortable in the black and white one piece Miny had put you in. You wanted the mini dress you had packed that would cover your stretch marks and other problem areas but she bullied you out of it. Okay bully is a strong word. Miny just wished you had more confidence in yourself. 
But that confidence was not going to start in the middle of the Puerto Rico with a tight one piece on. You didn't know the other 3 girls they were Miny’s friends and you didn't hit it of with them the whole 5 days and 4 nights. They didn't get your humour or hospitality. You didn't like how frequent they commented on your dark skin like it was some kind of disorder you had and that you are so brave to be living your life with it and it seemed like Miny was more their friend on this trip then yours. She only showed you love when you were just about to to leave. They were loud, obnoxious and self centered. You quickly learned that but there were 2 days and 1 night left. You were going to stomach it and try to enjoy yourself. 
“Okay that's it. I'm going to eat. Im starving.“ you got up and pulled the bunched up material out of your ass.
“What are you talking about. we still taking pic for the gram....anyways you're the one who keeps complained about being fat“ Tiff said while she carried on posing 
Your heart dropped 
“I know... it's just that its been 6 hours. If i dont eat something i'll faint. just carry on i'll be back.”
You wrap yourself around with your towel you were ripped from before the photoshoot situation. 
You left the rented yacht with your wallet and ordered some fish and chips. Sat on the balcony and ate were the girls wouldn't see you. 
You were 24 years old and it still felt like high school. Made to feel different and odd. You wanted to leave and go home to your warm bed and your book and read up on african legends and how they used to rule the African plains. You were intrested in weird things and you didn't really fit in. You wanted to see your real friends who didn't judge you and throw your insecurities in you face every 5 seconds but that wasn't going to happen tonight.
“Y/N come bitch we're going to the club the one down the road. Get your black ass here. We need to get changed.“ You sighed lifting yourself of the bench and throwing away your trash away. 
Back at the hotel you decided on a red sparkly dress but when you left your room to fix your hair in the bathroom Tiff was wearing the same one. 
“Is that what you're wearing“ Cam asked sarcastically 
“Shut your ass up... if that's what she wants leave her“ Miny defended you.
“Nah its just that ...you know Tiff wore it first. Thats all im saying “ Cam carried on fixing her braids 
“What's the problem. It will be like yall twins or someshit.“
“Dont fuck with me Miny I look nothing like her.“
You bit your lip. It was a coping mechanism. if you felt a greater pain then the words wouldn't hurt. 
“I'll change. Its okay.“
You left the crowded bathroom for your bedroom and practically ripped the dress off. You took a deep breath and you changed into a off shoulder black bodycon. You looked good but you didn't feel good. You paired it up with your black Fila’s. You did a light beat and a strong liner and lashed up and waited for the girls to finished. You were a bit over walmed when they joined you. They looked good. even you could admit that. You didn't bling yourself up like that. You looked simple. maybe even basic compared to them
At the club no one had gotten the memo that it was not a regular club club. It was a latin dance club. Like real Latin. Like out of a movie. People were dancing like it was strictly come dancing. The samba and the chacha, you name it. It was hot, so were the boy. The idea of getting drunk and going home with someone sounded amazing. You needed an outlet for the pent up frustration in your chest. But it seemed like no one was checking for you at the moment so maybe to get drunk first. You went to the bar and bought yourself a drink and a couple more. the girls joined you after they had danced a few times with some guys. You thought about asking a guy to dances with you but you didn't want to stoop to that level. That would have been to sad and rejection isn't something you're good at recovering from. So you drank some more.
“That was crazy. He almost swang my ass up into the roof“ Cam laughed while she tried to calm down 
“I saw girl you almost died but i thought i was coming to throw my ass in a circle to some city girl but i like this too? Y/N you good? You been drinking since we been here“
“Oh me i'm okay I dont do well with heights.“ Miny laughed at your joke while the other 3 were confused.
“What the hell does height have to do with you being a bore?“
“She said that the guy almost through he into the roof and i'm afraid of heights. It was a joke Tiff. “
You shake your head and zoned out when they carried on talking amongst themselves. With your black straw in your mouth your eyes wounded around the bar area. Your eyes meet with a guy, you looked away. He was sitting about 4 stools away from you leaning back . You looked again and this time he smiled and you smiled back. He was handsome. 10000% out of your league but his smile was warm and cute. He had dreads and a tropical shirt on but most importantly he had dimples. Your one weakness. He nodded at you twice and you already knew the drill it wouldn't be the first time. 
You turned to the Tiff who was next to you and tapped her shoulder.
“I think that guy is calling you?” You took a big sip from your straw again 
“Which guy?“ she asked 
“The one down the line.“ You specified.
You could see how big her eyes went when she realized who you were talking about. You saw how she flirted with her eyes and pushed her braids back with a big smile.
You wish you had that in you.
“They got nigga’s like this here ..let me go talk to zaddy”
She left the girls in pursuit of melanin, they spoke for a bit and you stole glances at them. If you couldn't get the guy at least you could live vicariously through the girls who would. 
He's acting too cool. look at him not even smiling at her. How can you smile at me and not the girl you want. Fuck boys. they are everywhere. Girls like nice guys as well. oh my drink is almost finished. oh yes focus the handsome guy. oh wait she's coming back. she looks mad why?
“You must a blind bitch cause he was calling you“ She said through her teeth 
“What do you mean. Why would he call me?“
“I was asking myself the same question? He didn't even give me the time of day? Did you take something of his?“
“No I was here the this whole time.“
“Well you must h-“ she stopped talking for a second then started panicking “oh shit he's coming here act natural ladies “
“Beautiful you gonna just ignored me and send you lil friend“ You blinked at him making sure you aren't dreaming. 
“You still ignoring me baby girl.“ He cocked his head to the side
You were confused by the warm feeling in your chest and stomach.
“You can't call me Baby girl. i dont even know you...“ You shouted out the first thing on your mind. All 4 girls face palmed themselves
“Its cool. I get it Ma. Im Erik Steven and you are?“
“You want to know my name? Why?“ This had never happened to erik before. if he asked for a name he got it and most times even more.
“Why dont I we dance for a bit and maybe i'll tell you why?“ He extends his arm that was filled of what seemed like tribal markings. That fascinated you. You ran your hands over some that showed out his shirt but he didn't move his arm away.
“You like them Princess?”
“They are so....I study Ancient and Tribal African Studies and some tribes they .......they value a man who has these types of markings. Sort of like the more you have them the higher your ranking is in society. I've never seen anything like this before .Who are you Erik?”
Erik expected you to blush over them to seem edgy but he wasn't expect that type of analysis and that made him more intrested in you as well.

Under The Stars -> Colby Brock
Plot: A hot summer night where you and Colby can’t sleep, so you decide to make the best out of it.
Request: Um idk about you but what if it was a hot summer night and you were sleeping with Colby (in the trap house ofc) but it was so hot your both almost completely naked and it’s just so intimate and your bodies are touching each other but not sexual ya know?
A/n: guys, this turned out hella cute. idk i just went with it and now i want colby okay. im v proud of this one okay so if you dont like it then fight me
Notes: very fluffy, this is in the trap house
-
“There’s no way in hell we’re gonna sleep tonight.” you whined from the couch as you fanned your face with your hand. “We’re literally in hell right now.”
Kat and Devyn nodded in agreement from the other side of the room, fanning their faces as well, while Corey went into the kitchen to get some water bottles from the fridge to everbody. 
“Don’t be such a downer, y/n! I think we should all appreciate the heat and how blessed we are for living in a place where we have water, and stop complaining over it.” Jake said just to annoy you.
You rolled your eyes at Jake’s stupid joke and threw a pillow in his face. “Shut up, Jake.” you laughed. 
Colby entered the room and stretched out his hand for you to grab it, motioning for the two of you to head to bed. Everyone else were yawning in synch and just about to pass out on the couch as well, so everybody were headed to bed. 
You pouted as you looked up at Colby standing in front of you with his arm stretched out. He gave you a confused smile and chuckled. 
“Can you carry me? I’m too hot to move...” 
Colby laughed and jokingly rolled his eyes at you before picking you up bridal style. He carried you to his bedroom and shut the door behind him, before putting you down on the bed and climbing in next to you.
The whole night you kept tossing and turning. The heat was horrible and it was bothering you, and everybody else, a lot, making it nearly impossible to fall asleep. The big covers covering both you and Colby didn’t help either. Opening the window didn’t help either. And Colby’s little fan? Nope. 
“Colby. Wake up.” you whispered and lightly pushed Colby with your foot.
Colby groaned. Colby had already fallen asleep way before you and didn’t seem to care about the heat at all which you found odd. If you weren’t able to sleep, neither was him, and you were going to make that very clear. 
“Wake up!” you said a little louder and turned on your side, tossing an arm over Colby as you shook his body. 
“What?!” he asked and gave you an annoyed look with his tired eyes. 
You sighed and pouted looking into his ocean blue eyes. “I can’t sleep, Colb. It’s too hot..” you whined.
“Just take your clothes off.” Colby suggested and turned his head the other way, going back to sleep. 
You groaned at his reaction and did as he suggested, leaving you only in your underwear right next to him. After taking off your clothes you cuddled up next to Colby. The covers were only at your feet and halfway draping down on the ground. Wrapping your arm around Colby you scooted closer to him and got comfortable. 
“You really think that’s gonna work?” Colby mumbled into his pillow. 
“Hmm?” you asked and raised your head to look over Colby’s shoulder. 
Colby turned around in the bed, lying on his side to face you. “You think cuddling up next to me is gonna make you less hot?” he laughed. 
You ran your hands down your face as you sighed before giving Colby an annoyed look. “Well, fuck, what do you suggest then?! I’m soooo hot, Colby. If I have to sleep outside I’m gonna do it.”
Unlocking his phone, Colby checked the time before thinking to himself for a split second. He looked at you and smirked. “That might not be a bad idea.”
You raised your eyebrows and looked at him in confusion. 
“It’ll be fun! Let’s sleep outside!” Colby cheered and hurried out of bed, dragging you along with him.
You grabbed some pillows and the covers and walked down stairs, stepping out to the back yard before tossing everything down on the ground.
The second trip back to Colby's room you grabbed your phones and whatever else you needed, whilst Colby found some unused blow up mattresses in the garage.
After blowing up the mattresses and putting everything down, you and Colby crashed down onto the bed.
There were no clouds in the sky, just beautiful and sparkly stars above you. The light breeze hitting your skin felt nice as you laid next to Colby whilst he ran a finger up an down your arm, tracing the vain that went from the inside of your wrist to the inside of your elbow.
You and Colby spent the majority of the night laughing and talking about anything and everything. Just being alone with him felt special, and the fact that you were directly under the stars made everything feel magical.
"This is nice." Colby whispered as his gaze was glued to the sky above him.
You turned around in your spot, lying on your side as you looked at him with a quizzical expression.
"I mean this." he continued, moving his hand back and forth between the two of you. "Us. I like us and I'm glad I have you in my life."
You smiled at his words and felt your heart almost skipping a beat. His words always warmed your heart and he always made you happy. You cared alot for Colby, and him for you, and just lying underneath the stars with Colby on a hot summer night was magical and you enjoyed being in his presence.
"I like us too." you smiled and scooted closer to Colby, resting your head on his chest and intertwined your fingers with his.

girl, you’re trouble | shawn mendes
university au, shawn x goth gf
AN: i dont love the title but whatever i guess!! let me know ur thots, Thots! ALSO theres a bit of Spanish in this (surprise, the goth gf is actually mexican) so get ur fuckin translators out
masterlist | series playlist
I woke up alone in bed, but I wasn’t alone in the apartment. Just outside the bedroom, in the living room, I heard the sounds of Shawn singing and playing guitar. A smile appeared on my tired face. It’s been a while since I heard that pretty voice. It took me a minute to process what exactly he was belting out, but it must have been new. I’ve heard all of his songs, but this one was unfamiliar to me.
“Help me, it’s like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up, but I just can’t
It isn’t in my blood”
With a heavy sigh, I reached for my phone on the nightstand. However, as soon as I extended my arm and tried to stretch, I felt the minor sting of my incisions. I groaned and remained lying where I was, and I waited for Shawn to get all his sad boi feelings out. Good thing I loved hearing him sing.
“Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
I’m overwhelmed and insecure, give me something
I could take to easy my mind, slowly”
Okay, that was a direct hit to the feelings I tried so hard to keep tied up in a small box in the back of my mind. I felt small and helpless all over again in a matter of seconds. I had to lie on this bed and stare at the ceiling while I waited for my boyfriend to come and help me sit up. I had to depend on someone else to get by, and I never experienced that. I needed help, and I hated it. I hated being so vulnerable. Crazy how his words could drastically change my mood. And I literally just woke up.
Out of sheer spite (to whom, I don’t know), I dug my elbows into the mattress and attempted to pick up my head and shoulders. I felt the strain below my belly button, where the biggest incision was located, but I still tried to sit up on my own. Then, a sharp pain went through where I was cut into, and I groaned through gritted teeth. I dropped my head back and took a deep breath. I can do this.
Shawn’s guitar playing suddenly stopped. “Honey?”
Okay, I can’t do this.
I took another deep breath and tried to erase the frustration from my face as the door to the room opened. Shawn dashed inside and approached me.
“Are you okay? What happened?” he asked, looking up and down at my body like he was expecting me to be bleeding.
“Nothing, I was just trying to sit up,” I replied monotonously.
“Well, why didn’t you call me? I was just right outside the door.” Without even asking, he leaned down to wrap an arm around my back and moved me into a sitting up position. I felt a bit stupid.
I decided to change the subject. “Was that a new song I heard?”
“Yeah, something that hit all of a sudden,” he said. “What’d you think?”
Carefully, I shifted so my legs hung over the edge of the mattress. “I liked it a lot. I was happy to hear you sing again.”
Now I was able to reach for my phone on the nightstand. I had a new text from my mom, saying that she and my dad landed in Toronto. A deep pit formed in my stomach.
“My parents are in the city,” I said, my eyes widening.
Shawn didn’t reciprocate my nerves. “That’s great! Do they need a ride from the airport?”
“No!” I answered too quickly. “Uh… If you pick them up and I’m not there, they’ll be upset that I didn’t personally welcome them here. And if I do go with you, they’ll freak out because I’m not taking better care of myself post-surgery. Just let them get a Lyft.”
“Okay, then…”
For the first time in weeks, I got myself ready. Yeah, I was in the hospital for a week and a half, but exams season was prior to that event. I had been looking raggedy for a while now. My face was a little sunken in from the dramatic weight drop I experienced from my diet, but I didn’t look Dead dead. I brushed my teeth and straightened my hair, and I felt good about it. Plus, I was glad to discover I still had the skill to almost effortlessly draw on inner and outer wings on my eyes. I mean, I had one eye done successfully...
Shawn was watching me in the bathroom, leaning against the doorway with a smile on his face. I pretended to be too busy drawing on my other wing to acknowledge him for about five seconds. The pressure was a bit much.
“Can I help you, my dear?” I asked, finally drawing the outline of my wing.
“You just look so pretty,” he said mindlessly. “And you’re so good at putting on makeup.”
I chuckled. “It’s just eyeliner.”
Then the subject changed. “So… I know I’ve asked, but I still don’t know the answer. What are your parents like?”
I never knew how to answer a question like that without sounding like an ungrateful child. “Um… my mom’s an Aries and my dad is an Aquarius…”
“Babe.”
“My mom’s name is Lucy, and my dad’s name is Ed,” I tried again. “They’ll talk to each other in Spanish if they don’t want people around them to know what they’re saying. A lot of people say I’m a mix of both of them. Uh, they’re swayed by actions and not words. They know you make me happy, so they should be nice.”
“Should?” Shawn repeated. “Uh, okay. Noted. My parents and sister are coming over too. Like, a little bit later. So it’ll be a big happy family time.”
“Fun!”
Oh god. If there was anything in my body, I’d shit myself.
For once, the two of us were dressed in something other than pajamas. I mean, I still had on black sweats, but I had on my black long sleeve with a rose embroidered on the chest. It was nicer than a t-shirt, in my opinion. Plus, it went well with Shawn’s black floral button up and black jeans. His outfit was a bit more colorful, but I was a little giddy that we had an unplanned theme going on.
My parents came over first. I heard the knock on the door and made tense eye contact with my boyfriend. Then, I remembered one last bit to tell him.
“Oh, uh… my father doesn’t appreciate names like Gomez Addams, Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons… y’know what I mean?” I said, snaking my arm around Shawn’s waist so we could walk to the front door.
“Why would I call him that?” he asked, confused.
“It’s just his… aesthetic? Appearance? He’s serious about it, and he doesn’t like people poking fun at it, even if it’s not malicious. Tell that to your family too.”
Shawn nodded, but he still seemed confused. I would have explained more, but another well-timed knock on the door distracted me.
“You can just wait on the couch if you want,” he told me as we strolled through the hallway.
“No, I don’t want you facing them alone.”
It’s cute how he thought I was joking. But I was not leaving him alone as long as my parents were here.
“Oh!” I interjected. “One more thing! Do not mention my birth control or my Prozac. They’ll flip their shit if they find out!”
“Shit, okay…”
When we got to the door, I answered. My mother practically screamed.
“Mija! Mi chiquita!” She hugged me around the shoulders, causing the fuzz from her fluffy pink coat to get in my mouth. For once, she was able to reach my shoulders because she was wearing sparkly, silver wedges.
She leaned back and smiled at me, tears welling up in her dark brown eyes. My mom didn’t exactly look young for her age, but she certainly dressed like it. Under her pink coat, she had a lavender dress on and white tights. Not only that, she had dyed her hair a lighter brown in the time that I had been away from home. It was a surprise, but it suited her.
“Love the hair,” I told her with a smile.
She kissed me on the cheek, leaving behind a pink lip stain. “Thank you, mija. Your hair has gotten really long! And you’ve lost weight!”
There it is.
My father was clad in a black leather jacket, a grey t-shirt and black jeans. He had on a black beanie, which covered his full head of dark hair. Last time I saw him, he was clean shaven, but now he had a decent amount of scruff on his chin. He was as tall as Shawn, but way less muscular. He held out a hand to him, and that was when I noticed his nails were also painted black. Haven’t seen that in a hot minute.
“How ya doing?” he greeted. “I’m Ed, and this is my wife, Lucy.”
Shawn shook his hand and smiled. I could tell he was nervous. “Nice to meet you.” He held his hand out to my mom next, but she pulled him into a hug.
“It’s so wonderful to meet you, honey,” she told him, returning his nervous smile.
“You too.” Shawn was pleasantly surprised by the gesture.
Dad hugged me as tight as Mom did. “Mija. I’ve missed you.”
“I’ve missed you guys,” I told them.
“Ah, it’s about time you do!” Mom said, still smiling.
And comes the first awkward pause of the week.
“Come on in!” Shawn piped up, gesturing for them to go down the hallway. “Living room is down that way. Would you guys like some water?”
“Oh, you sweetheart. Please, if you don’t mind,” Mom told him before following my dad to the living room.
That gave Shawn and I a moment alone as we went into the kitchen. It was a moment to breathe and to process everything. I looked at him, not really sure what to expect. Did he hate them already?
“You didn’t tell me your parents were polar opposites,” he told me quietly as he went to get glasses from the cabinet. “You never told me your dad was a goth.”
“You never asked,” I said, bemused.
“I’ve asked you like ten times!”
We went back to the living room with glasses of water. My mom was quick to stand up and help me sit on the couch.
“Maybe you shouldn’t be walking around so much,” she suggested.
“It’s good for me, trust me,” I replied. I wonder how much mothering I could take before I had it.
“Let me see your scars,” she said, grabbing at my shirt to look at my bandaged incisions. “Are they healing? Do they hurt at all?”
She’s my mom. What could I do? I sent my mildly embarrassed gaze over to Shawn, who was setting the glasses of water down on the coffee table. He only gave me an amused smile.
“Oh, god no!” Dad snapped, turning his head away. He coughed and gagged.
“It’s not that bad,” I told him. “It’s three holes and two lines in my tummy!”
“Nope! I can’t do blood!”
“There’s no blood!”
Mom pulled my shirt back down and sat next to Dad on the other end of the L-shaped couch. “You dress and act so scary but you can’t even look at your daughter’s wounds!”
They began to bicker in Spanish, to which I rolled my eyes at. Shawn sat down next me and we shared a look.
“Just wait,” I told him. “They’ll be done in a second. Then, they’re gonna interrogate you.”
“Great.”
Once my parents got themselves together, they simultaneously turned to us, hands folded in their laps. They moved together like robots sometimes, it was strange. But it worked for them.
“So, mija,” Mom said, “when will you be coming home?”
Oof. An unpleasant thing to talk about.
“Actually…” I trailed off. “I’m gonna be recovering til the middle of August. If I didn’t have these huge cuts under my belly button, I’d be ready to go home next week…”
Mom blinked a few times, like she hadn’t process what I said. Dad, on the other hand… his face fell. Honestly, I wasn’t too happy about this arrangement either.
“When does school start for you?” Dad asked.
“A week after I’m supposed to be recovered,” I replied. “And I have to get my dorm ready, and my professors will start setting assignments that month. Not to mention, I still have a job.”
“So you can go to work, but you can’t come home?” Mom’s warm, loving facade now vanished. Her face went hard and cold, and her eyes were daggers.
“My job isn’t that far from here,” I told her. “And I’m sitting at a desk most of the time. Trust me, I wanna go home too, but the doctor said-”
She cut across me. “The doctor said you stay con tu pinche novio, verdad? No quieres dejar ese chamaco? No quieres ver tu familia porque ya tienes novio!”
My dad gently placed his hands on her shoulders and quietly spoke to calm her down. It wouldn’t do any good, because now I was angry, and I talked back.
“Él no es chamaco! Me está cuidando, y estoy muy agradecido que me deje quedarme aquí! Sin él, hubiera estado sin hogar y varado! Ma, el doctor me dijo que no puedo viajar asi!” I raised my voice, causing Dad to hold up a warning finger.
“Don’t talk to your mother like that!”
“Pues, claro que no quieres viajar! How convenient!” Mom snapped. “Quieres quedarte con ese guey, no me mientas.”
My dad looked at my startled, confused boyfriend. “Listen, Shane-”
“Shawn,” I corrected, folding my arms.
“Sorry. Shawn. I’m sure you’re a nice guy,” Dad continued, “but we don’t know enough about you. We don’t know if this is a safe enough place for our daughter.”
Shawn sat up. “I’ll tell you anything you’d like to know, sir.”
“Nos va a mentir,” my mom spoke, looking at my dad with wide eyes. “Nos dirá que queremos oír.”
Normally, I would have kept at the Spanish, but I was over it now. Especially in front of my English speaking boyfriend. “Just give him a chance, Ma!”
Dad gave me a look like I was crazy. “Mija… she’s not wrong.”
I ignored him and turned to Shawn. “They’ve been here all of ten minutes and they already think you’re a liar. They think you’re forcing me to stay here or something.”
“Hey, we did not say that!” Mom pointed a manicured finger at me.
“It’s gonna lead to that! You’re always going to the worst case scenario!”
“Well, you’re still sick! He could leave or kick you out!”
Shawn spoke up. “Um… with all due respect, I wouldn’t do anything like that. I care so much about your daughter, I wouldn’t even think about leaving her like this, especially since…” He paused and glanced at me once. “I already knew how I felt about your daughter, but her time in the hospital made it even more clear. I love her… so much. All I wanna do is make sure she’s okay and healthy. And I wanna make her happy, too.”
That was all… the sweetest shit ever. But my mother still had a skeptical look on her face. My dad had his eyes narrowed, but he spoke next.
“I can see that. She told us that you slept at the hospital, saw her through to her surgery. Even before that, you stayed despite her health issues. I think that’s a good man.”
My faith was restored and shattered again with every word. “Despite my health issues?” I repeated.
“Ay, mija,” Mom said with a sigh, “you of all people should know how much of a hassle it is to deal with your sickness.”
“Well, Shawn doesn’t see me as someone who’s sick. He never has.”
“It’s really no hassle,” he added. “If anything, she pushes me to eat better.”
“And I only get sick if I eat the wrong thing. Most of the time, I’m fine.”
Mom scoffed. “You were in the hospital. Obviously, you did something wrong!”
Heard those words before… every time I was in the bathroom at my parents’ house. It was my fault. I felt defeated, so I sat back and pinched the bridge of my nose. It was hard to keep my body relaxed when I was so tense and frustrated. Of course, my silence prompted my mom to keep talking… to Shawn.
“As a child, whenever she got mad, she told us she was going to run away to Canada,” she recalled with a chuckle. “And she did! She got a scholarship offer from UCLA, but she chose to run here instead.”
I didn’t run away. I chose the place I actually applied to, and it was Toronto.
“How was I supposed to look after her? What would happen if she got sick?”
I got sick here, and it was handled. I knew how to handle my own burdens. Part of being chronically sick is learning to live with it. Part of it was always being seen as sick to some people. That happened whether you want it to or not.
“Aside from that,” Dad added, “we were also worried about the type of person she might end up with. She’ll pick whoever she picks, obviously. We just don’t wanna see her with someone who’ll influence her the wrong way. I’m sure she’s told you, but she’s had some rough relationships in the past.”
Shawn nodded. “Oh yeah. I know all about Luca.”
“Who’s Luca?”
God fuckign-
Keeping secrets from my parents was not allowed when I lived with them. It was hard trying to find privacy, much less ask for it. If I wanted to keep something for myself, then I was hiding something and that was bad. I couldn’t even keep a journal without worrying that they’ll read it behind my back. They were always able to get stuff out of me anyway… because they’re my parents, and they want to help, and I can only trust them and no one else. They did everything for me, the least I could do was reveal personal information so they knew every little thing that was going on with me.
Don’t even get me started on how offended they would get if I didn’t want to talk about certain things. I wanted time to sit with my depression when it started happening, only for my parents to literally ground me because I kept it from them. My mom was upset because I didn’t tell her about Shawn from the moment I laid eyes on him. So when I told them that I did not want to talk about my past thing with Luca, they weren’t exactly thrilled.
Thankfully, Shawn’s family finally made it over. That meant that my parents had to put on their civil customer service attitudes. Anyway, I finally met Shawn’s dad and sister, Manny and Aaliyah. I was still in a physical state I didn’t want to be in, but this was much better than when I was on morphine and hitting on my boyfriend.
Within minutes, our parents were bragging about their kids. Not in a way where they were trying to one up each other, more like they were proving their kids were good together. My mom let go of some of her skepticism as Karen gushed about her son. Karen also brought up that she was at the hospital with me, which started up that conversation.
“Okay, mija,” Mom said, looking at me. “How bad was this infection? I couldn’t understand the texts you sent me.”
“Before or after the surgery?” I asked.
“Pues, los dos.”
I spent about twenty minutes explaining the infection, the antibiotics, and the trip to the emergency room.
“So what happened? Why did you get that infection?” Dad asked.
“She stopped taking care of herself,” Mom answered for me. “I’m assuming you and your vato go out a lot. ¿Están comiendo pura basura, verdad?”
“No es cierto!” I argued, but I had to remember the other witnesses in the room. “Sometimes, these things just happen. I was really upset to that I spent so much time taking care of myself, only to end up having surgery. But everything went well. The surgery was successful, and I’m okay.”
I could still see fire in my mother’s eyes, but she held her tongue. It was just another argument to be had later. It was a little embarrassing, having Shawn’s family witness the tension and underlying rage. The only person who seemed entertained by it was Aaliyah.
“And after the surgery?” Dad asked, gesturing for me to continue. “You had another infection?”
“Just on the incision,” I replied. “That was take care of with antibiotics.”
“That’s not what your texts said.”
“Huh?”
Now, I remember sending my parents updates on my condition, despite the fact that they were without their phones literally the entire time I was in the hospital. I knew I sent them the text about having a surgical site infection.
Shawn spoke up, his voice soft. “Honey…”
I turned to him, but he was looking at the floor now. His jaw was clenched, like he was holding something back. He was silent long enough for his mom to speak up.
“You did have an infection, yes,” she said, “but that was a few days after… The day after your surgery, you went into shock. They found out you were hemorrhaging, and they took you into the OR again. If they didn’t catch it when they did, you could have died.”
I only stared silently, my mouth half open. My mom gasped and clutched her chest, horrified. Dad was rubbing his hands together, trying to process what was spoken. Aaliyah had her mouth wide open, like the greatest tea was being spilled. Manny and Shawn were both looking down at the floor.
“Holy crap,” Aaliyah whispered, breaking the silence.
“Why did nobody tell me this?” I finally asked.
“The fever and the drugs made you delirious,” Shawn explained, picking his head back up. “They told you, but you probably don’t remember. Sometimes you didn’t even recognize me. And I sent most of the texts to your parents. Figured they would want to know.”
Every word was like a hammer to my chest. Now that I was thinking about it, my hospital memories were fuzzy. If there was something I did remember, it was my boyfriend sitting at my bedside for days. Also, his nightmares made a lot more sense now. It was my fault.
It’s all my fault.
That night, I lied awake. Again. Shawn frequently thrashed and yelled in his sleep. I found myself wondering if I would actually wake up again.

original concept please do not steal
es, [08.01.18 19:29] so harley is a lesbian except shes too shy to actually try and go for girls so shes friends with a bunch of guys and one night they decide to go to a strip club and they ask her to tag along so she goes and this whole time shes a blushy mess and she tips every single dancer that comes on stage cause theyre all so pretty and skilled and WOW SHES GAY. then on comes gem and shes the prettiest girl harley has seen and all she can do is stare in silence with gaping mouth while the guys holler and whistle and gem is so graceful and she makes it so EASY in those heels and her skin is covered in glitter and she literally shines under the bright light and harley finally kicks herself to tip her the rest of her money cause FUCK oh my gOD so she stands up since theyre sitting right by the stage and then she just kinda freezes because gem looks at her and smiles and apparently she freezes for too long because gem turns around and starts strutting to the back of the stage and her ass is jiggling oh my god harley is having a heart attack but she just bolts forward because she needs gem to know how much she appreciated the show and she unknowingly ends up standing on the edge of the stage with one leg and tucking a fifty into gems panties and she doesnt even know how or why but gem turns around (probably startled) but she just smiles down at her again and holds out a hand and harley is taking it and shes being pulled up onto the stage fully and her friends are hooting and cheering and gem is twirling her around like theyre dancing and how the heckdoes she do it on HEELS when harley almost trips over her own feet in flats?! gem asks her if she wants to put on a show and harley looks worriedly over to her friends and then the other dudes who she knows are mostly hiding boners and shes kinda grossed out and mostly stressed and scared and she goes 'but all the guys,,,' and gem brings her close and oh gosh harley is melting against her and her voice is so soft that she almost misses it over the blaring music and the voices in the background. 'forget about them.  let have some fun, ill lead you' and harley nods slowly, anxiously and gem literally seems to know what shes thinking because she says 'dont worry, this stage is all mine now. no one i dont want here will be here,' and she nods to the side where a pair of large and menacing bodyguards are standing, watching less over them than the actual crowd. and then her hands are on harleys shirt and harleys raising her hands above her head to help her get it off easier and suddenly its on the ground and she can feel gems body against her, the glitter is smearing on her stomach as well now, their boobs are touching and shes sure gem can hear her loud labored breathing but gem makes a lovely turn around her, skirting her manicured nails over her sides. 'your bra is cute,' she says to harley, and it feels so much better than the excited yelling of guys shes trying to drown out. gem leads her through some very difficult steps and turns shes just along for the ride for, not even sure how she stays upright through them, but then gem is on her knees in front of her, hands resting on her hips and thumbs hooking in her jeans and harley panics and almost jumps back, but gem is holding her in place, but she doesnt try to take her jeans off anymore. she nuzzles into her thigh and makes a show of stretching up again, towering over harley on her glittering heels. the lights above them feel like spotlights, and whenever they change colors, gems eyes shine differently, and each time harley thinks she found a new favorite color only to be proven wrong.  her mouth is dried than a desert and theres an announcer who thanks gem (and her brave helper) for their beautiful show and the lights dim and suddenly theyre not in the club anymore, but gem is still smiling at her and leading her to where the bodyguards are standing and past them, backstage into a quieter, normally illumiated room.
es, [08.01.18 19:29] with the adrenaline rushing out of her, harley almost starts crying when she realizes shes half naked in front of a MORE half naked beautiful girl whos suddenly looking ashamed af. 'im sorry, i didnt want to force you into anything,' gem apologizes and harley shakes her head vehemently. 'its fine. its. fine. i. i enjoyed it. promise.' a bodyguard comes and hands her her shirt, dusted of anything it may have touched on the ground. gem still looks apologetic, but also... hopeful? maybe harleys just projecting. 'sorry about the, clothes.' 'its okay, i just... didnt want the guys to see...................' 'im jen. jennifer. id like to um. make it up to you.' 'you dont have to!' 'i wanna. please? i can take you to a dinner i can, i dunno. im sorry i made you uncomfortable' 'i wasnt uncomfortable. it was, really nice. i mean it,,,, youre so pretty and its kinda my fault cause i didnt tip you in time and ended up,,, yeah' 'youre pretty yourself! please, take your tip back, i dont deserve it after, that, haha' 'no you do! your show was so good i was um. totally lost' 'thank you,,, hearing that makes me so happy. its so different than a guy telling me that, yknow?' harley nods, and shes sure her face is red as a tomato and also probably sparkly. 'you um. captivated me more than any of the other dancers' and GOD she hopes none of the other dancers are around to hear that cause that could cause drama like no other, she imagines. 'i cant say i didnt pull you up without ulterior motives either, haha' 'ulterior...?' 'i wont do anything that im not sure youd def like so um, how would you feel if i were to kiss you maybe?' 'seriously? oh my god are you serious? are you,,,?' gem — jen grins, scratching at her neck. 'it makes the job so much easier, you wouldnt believe' harley is having a meltdown because oh my god this beautiful girl likes her and she wants to kiss her???????????????? nani?? ????? ?? ?!???? 'yes!!!!' jen makes a questioning noise, not sure what harley is all enthusiastic about. 'the kiss! yes please!' 'oh!' so jen leans down and kisses harley and its so different than she expected; its slow and gentle and nothing like the show before, and jens hand is around her neck, tangling with her hair and the other is on HER hand, thumb brushing it and harley is SURE shes died and is in heaven. jen chuckles when she pulls away and its soft and abashed and she looks like she literally glowing and harley knows shes fucked. 'that was. nice. id um. like to do that again. properly maybe? i can take you out to a dinner! as a date, i mean. i mean if you wanna. oh god i dont even know your name' and shes just as much of a mess as harley feels and for some reason thats reassuring and she blurts out 'harley. id love to. please' and they both look at each other and laugh and theres nothing but them, no bodyguards nearby, no men screaming at another dancer behind a wall, nothing. and as jen goes over to a table and pulls out her phone to give her her number and harley still clutches her shirt in her hand, all she can think of is 'oh god my first girlfriend saw me topless before she even knew my name'

date spot
Mamura gets asked what’s his favorite date spot and no one can ever understand why he chooses that place unless they’ve been there with her.
lowkey inspired by the “dont ever take me on a date to an aquarium” post
word count: 1393 words (intended to be a drabble but w/e)
It was getting late, but Mamura was still working. He stretched his arms, letting out a sound that seemed like both a yawn and a groan. His officemate and somewhat friend, Yamada, laughed at the sound.
“Hey, Mamura, are you free?”
“I’d like to say no, but actually, I am.”
Suzume mentioned she’s going to have some girl time with her high school friends and advised him to do the same, either with his high school friends or his office friends. He usually doesn’t listen, and go back home to relax in the peace he has been blessed, but then it wouldn’t hurt to listen this time.
“Great! Let’s go out for dinner and some drinking. Hey, guys! You on?”
“Sure! I’ll just finish this.”
“Same here.”
Majority of their team agreed to have some dinner together, so they ended up being a group of ten or so. Mamura had this little regret in him, but then brightened up when his fiancee - his fiancee! he still thinks this is all a dream - sent him a picture of them having a good time, all of them making a face but managing to still look pretty good.
They end up in a tiny restaurant with no customers, but then it must have been because it’s almost closing time. The owner welcomed their most likely last customers of the night, and even told them they can stay until 11PM, even if closing time is 10PM. They liked the place since they felt like they have it all to themselves, so they could chat freely.
Dinnertime was lively, Mamura noted. It was livelier than his meals with his high school friends, but then again it’s only Kameyoshi and Sarumaru who are loud amongst them. Right now, half of them are pretty much drunk and they happen to be the loud ones when drunk.
“Noisy...”
Mamura mutters, lightly sipping from his glass of water while scrunching his nose at his drunk workmates. Well, he got himself in this. He did know about this beforehand, so he has no reason to scold or complain loudly about it.
His phone vibrated, and Yamada, who was sitting beside him, noticed it, and took this chance to put the attention on their usually silent workmate.
“Ayyy, is that your girlfriend, Mamura?”
“It’s fiancee, Yamada! Did you forget?”
“Oh my, you’re right, Fujiwara!”
They all laughed, even more so when Mamura’s skin went bright red at the mention of fiancee.
“Cut it out. You all sound like some kids...”
He purposely put his phone up so that no one can peek.
“...But yes, it’s my fiancee. Got a problem?”
He tried to sound tough, but then he couldn’t help but hide the smile forming on his lips when he saw the new picture Suzume sent him. It was a solo picture this time - most likely taken by Tsurutani since she’s the one who’s good at taking pictures - and she’s holding up a plate of sushi while smiling brightly. His heart just warmed up at the sight.
“Look at him, all happy. Oi, Mamura!”
Mamura frowned after he sent a reply, putting his phone down. He had a face that just looked like What? in a really sassy way.
“I’m curious. Where do you and your girl go for dates?”
“Yeah! I could only imagine you walking in a park. Can’t with amusement parks and such.”
“Well, we do often go to the park to relax, or the mall if she’s feeling like she wants to shop in the process...”
“Something tells me that is followed by a but.”
“Yeah, well, but I like our dates in the aquarium.”
Silence.
“Aquarium? That doesn’t really sound romantic man. I understand the Planetarium for some star gazing but... Aquarium?”
The others nodded in agreement.
“She likes fishes.”
“As food, right?”
“Er, in general.”
“Won’t she just get distracted, then?”
There were lots of confused looks from the listening side. Mamura puts his hands behind his neck and lowers his head, his neck and cheeks getting red at what he’s about to say.
“Er, well, you know... I don’t really mind. Whether it’s a new aquarium or an old one, she keeps the same excited face whenever she goes to one and... I just really enjoy watching her have fun. I don’t know how to describe it but... she just has the best smile whenever she presses her nose on the glass as she watches the fishes swim then she calls out to me...”
Mamura couldn’t go on as the memory just makes him want to cry and melt. He remembered the first time they went back to the aquarium after a long time of not going there; back when Mamura thought he should take her to different places all the time. She was especially excited that day. Her smile was brighter than usual, and she looked beautiful, even if both of them were just wearing their plain clothes since they only planned to walk in the park that time. When she called out to him, she was waving her hand at him to beckon at him to go there immediately. She looked like she was having a great time by just looking at the tiny fishes swim around.
“Oh, looks like we hit a spot.”
Mamura was just hiding his face behind his hands, couldn’t speak any further. Yamada laughed and patted his back, expertly handling the situation and diverting the attention away from Mamura. When the blonde regained composure, he muttered his gratitude, his ears still pink but at least now he can speak a proper sentence.
I can’t believe I still blush over these little things when we’re already engaged! Damnit, get it together!
Omake:
“Oh my god! Look at the tiny fishes! They really swim in groups!”
Suzume was basically jumping in front of the aquarium. It was fortunate for her that the little kids around her were just as excited, and they were joining with energy. The parents seemed fond of the sight.
Suddenly, a large shark swam by, not giving a damn about the crowd and somehow looking like it’s swimming elegantly. Suzume snickered. That just looks like Yuyuka, but she decided to keep it to herself or else she’ll get a handful from her again.
The shark swam by again, and all of them went ‘whoa~!’ at it. The children didn’t seem scared; rather, they look amazed by the large fish. Two sting rays pass by, and they went ‘ooh~’ again. Suzume wasn’t budging from her place. She might have already made friends or at least acquaintances with the tiny kids. She was already crouching down to be in their level.
A large school of colorful fish swim upwards in spiral, as if they’re trying to compete with the shark. They all clapped, and Suzume’s eyes are getting more sparkly and her smile still plastered on her face. It’s been a while.
She stared up at the large aquarium right in front of them, still amazed even after ten minutes of staring. She was jumping in excitement, not even giving a damn if she looked weird for the other people who were in her age.
“O-Oh! Mamura! Come here! Look at that!”
Suzume didn’t look back to him at first, her hand only waving at his supposed position. He didn’t respond at first as well, too busy admiring her wide smile as she continued to watch the pretty fishes.
When he didn’t come to her side, she looked back to him and called out once more.
“Ma-mu-ra- Sheesh, Daiki! Come here!”
He was flustered when she looked back at him, then even blushed more when she called to him by his first name. He felt embarrassed, having caught that he was staring at her. He immediately jogged to her side, their hands intertwining as soon as he got to her side.
“Mhm, thank you for taking me here, even if we’ve been here a lot of times. You must be tired of this place.”
“Not really...”
I could never get tired of your smile.
“I’ll take you here, over and over again, until you get tired of this place.”
“Hehe, then that day will never happen!”
Mamura chuckled, amused at how much his fiancee loves the place.
Then, the day I will get tired of your smile will never happen.
