Aspirations pt.1
Hopefully you can look past the rubbish title and summary enough to give this a go!
It started as me coming up with a 'one bed situation' but I've expanded it a little to probably 3-4 chapters in total.
I've only done a couple of very short pieces for this fandom so far so I'd love to know your thoughts! Be kind! 😘
Sydcarmy Masterlist
Full Masterlist
Sydney Adamu / Carmy Berzatto
Syd is 12 months deep in a crush, Carmy is 6 months into a relationship he doesn't want, The Bear is 4 months open and Nat is 2 months into motherhood....
~~~~~~~
Syd didn't know why she'd said yes. Nat had asked, and while her brain went to say 'no thanks', her heart saw the look of desperation on Natalie's face, and a 'yes, of course' popped out instead. Nat even had her minor guilt trip lined up. 
"... I mean, I haven't had any real adult company since the baby was born, and I just -"
"Nat, I said yes."
"For real?"
"Sure, why not. Wait - is Claire invited?"
"Oh god, no. Just us and Tiff."
"Richie's ex?" Nat nodded. 
"Yep. Just some drinks at home, so I'm around if I'm needed. Maybe a couple slices of Marcus's cake?"
"I'll bring you some food."
"You're an angel. Does Carm know you've been keeping my fridge stocked for the last 3 months?" Syd shrugged,
"If he does, he hasn't said anything." They sat in the closed restaurant, Nat feeding baby Mikey while Syd went through the books with her. Carmy was… late. "Where the fuck is he anyway?" Nat clipped her bra back into place and lifted the baby to her shoulder. Every Friday between lunch and dinner service, they did the books together.
"Good question." Syd murmured, eyes on her calculator. "We need to start putting some money aside for Thanksgiving and Christmas promos."
"On it. I need you guys to confirm the festive menu by the 15th, please. We go to print on the 19th, delivery by the end of the month ready to take bookings throughout October."
"Wow, you are still, like, smashing it." Syd says, impressed. 
"I gotta do something during those 3 am feeds other than shopping." She reasoned, heaving the baby over to her other shoulder. 
"Here," Syd stood and held out her hands so Nat could gratefully pass him over. She'd not been around too many babies and was terrified the first time she'd held him. Richie had ribbed her about it in the weeks prior - so much so that she hadn't actually held the baby in company other than Natalie. She rocked gently from side to side, hearing little Mikey's snores in her ear. Nat read through the books and the notes left by Syd and/or Carmy.
"Hey, did I tell you what Uncle Jimmy did?" Syd didn't stop her gentle movement but turned to face Natalie better,
"No?"
"So we each own 33%, right, and Jimmy had the 1% leftover? Well he's gifted it to Mikey. The baby bear is already earning."
"That's dope, I'm still gonna make him do the dishes as soon as he's old enough though. He's gotta earn that paycheck." Syd smiled down as Mikey's eyes drifted shut. 
*
"Hey, fuck, sorry I'm late." He pushed through the swing doors, stopping at the sight of Syd swaying with the baby in her arms. 
"Too late, Carm, we're fucking done now." Nat teased, "good job someone is pulling their weight around here. And giving my arms a break." 
"He's asleep, where'd you want him?"
"You've got the magic touch." Nat took him carefully and transferred him to the car seat. Carmy squatted down for a closer look, 
"I missed out."
"Shoulda been here in time," Nat warned, "I've got a night shift going if you're -"
"No. No thanks sis, I don't get enough sleep as it is."
"Makes two of us."
"Makes three of us." Syd laughed. Carmy kissed Mikey's forehead and stood to pull his sister into a hug while Syd knelt down to tuck the blanket around Mikey and brush a finger over his milk drunk cheeks. 
"I'll let you know when's good?" Nat confirmed to Syd with a hug before letting Carmy lift the heavy car seat and take it out to her car. "Bye Uncle Bear, bye Auntie Syd!" She singsongs. By the time Carmy has returned, Syd is making sure the paperwork is filed correctly and clearing the table they've used. 
"Coffee? Probably too cold now."
"Unlikely, no such thing." He takes the mug and finishes most of it in one go making her grimace. 
"That's gross."
"You ate doughnut off the floor." He counters, she has no argument. "You and Nat planning something?" 
"Just Thanksgiving and Christmas."
"We need a menu."
"We do. I have some potential dishes down but I gotta link them with the theme or some shit." He raises an eyebrow, "Nat's idea. I'm not naming dishes after reindeer or any bullshit like that." 
"Got it. Wanna work on it Monday?"
"You got time?"
"Always." This time, Syd looked incredulous. "I mean it." She nodded slowly, 
"Heard, Chef."
"What'd you make for them this week?" He asked, holding out his hands for the paperwork folder. Syd froze, "C’mon Syd, you think I don't know you've been batch cooking for Nat and Pete for months?" She breaks into a smile, 
"Just easy stuff, chilli, casserole."
"Let me know when you're makin' more and I'll do some as well."
"Oh, I got it under control. You're busy with… like, Claire and this place. I only have this place so…" She trailed off with a limp shrug. 
"Well, you don't have to do it either -" He tried to interject. 
"Nat's been good to me. She's the only other voice of sanity around here." At that, Carmy feigned a look of hurt which made Syd snort with laughter. "Do not - do not - try and claim otherwise!"
"And here I thought we were partners."
"We are. Which is why I can't complain to you about you." She grinned and Carmy returned it with ease. Over a year of working together, 4 months since The Bear had opened, and she'd finally gotten to a point where she only felt awkward approximately 60% of the time, which was a solid win. With time, communication between them had significantly improved. The only downsides currently were his time management when it came to Claire and the raging crush Sydney had developed on Carmy over the course of the last year. The crush was the main/only reason her awkwardness level remained so high. 
"You can, y'know. I want to know if there's something I need to do better. I told you, you gotta let me know if I'm fucking up." She caught her lower lip in her teeth. He was doing that thing again, standing frustratingly close and looking at her with those ocean eyes. 
"You need to stop being late. That's the second time Nat and I have had to go through the books alone, and there's stuff in there that you're closer to than us. I'm the shit, Carm, but I can't read your mind. No matter how hard I try." She jokes. He nods sincerely. 
"Heard. I'll do better, I promise." He paused, "when'd you start holding the baby anyway?"
"Literally the first time I didn't have you and Richie watching me like a hawk." She laughed, "If you'd been around, you'd know that I am his number one Auntie."
"That so?"
"I get all the smiles, all the giggles. Me and baby Mikey are like that -" she holds up her crossed fingers, "you can't compete with a love like ours." She teases.
"Nat likes you better too, s'ok maybe the Fak's will take me in. Or T."
"Dude, T would mother the shit outta you!" She exclaimed.
"Already does. You two gonna be OK tomorrow?"
"So you and Richie can play fucking hooky? Yeah, yeah, I remembered. We all good."
"Sure?"
"Yes, Chef."
"Syd?"
"Carm, babe, Tina and I will be fine. We have everyone else here, I got Nat on front of house, we're gonna smash it." He was about to call her out on calling him babe, but they'd finished clearing up just as everyone else started arriving for dinner service and chaos soon descended. The rest of the day passed without incident. The following morning, Syd and Tina had the crew prepping for a busy lunch service while Richie and Carmy flitted in and out of the kitchen, filling up the car for their catering event. Syd took her break outside while they finished off, 
"I'm gonna get some smokes." Richie called out, already halfway down the alley. Carmy moved towards Syd,
"If you ask one more time if I'm sure, I'm gonna give you a black eye." She warned. He held his hands up, 
"Just checking in."
"You've already done that. We'll be fine."
"I'll keep my phone on. You need anything, you'll call?"
"What're you gonna do from across town?"
"Yo, cousin!" Richie shouted from the sidewalk, "bring the car down." 
"Call me."
"Just fucking go, we're good." She hopped down from the pallets with the intention of pushing him as he continued to hesitate. 
"Carmen!" Richie bellowed again, turning to talk to Natalie who'd just arrived out front. 
"Festive menus Monday?" He asked, 
"Yes, Chef. Go!" He nodded once, took half a step closer and kissed her gently on the lips before turning and running to the car. He was pulling out onto the street before she'd had time to register the kiss at all. 
*
Two miles down the road, Carmy stopped at a red light and his brain reactivated. 
"Holy fucking shit." He muttered, staring straight ahead. 
"What'dya forget?" Richie asked, looking up from his phone. Carmy thought fast,
"Uhh napkins." Richie tsked,
"I picked em up you fucking dipshit." He laughed, shoving Carmy's shoulder. "Good job one of us knows what the fuck is goin on cuz. You gotta stop thinkin bout Clairebear all the time, man." Carmy barked a short laugh,
"Yeah, Claire." He agreed, still thinking about Syd's easy smile and soft lips.

assinging each cpds member a milgram song (except Undercover. no one is Es here. except maybe Lucy. yeah Lucy is Es now she gives the verdicts for each of their murders-)
for those who don't know, milgram is a fictional music project that involves a prison that hold 10 prisoners, each had been the sole cause of someones death (not just murder) and the only real clues to their "sin" is through songs !! there's also es they're the prison warden
i got this idea at like 10 pm today in my timezone, i say random ass shit here too please dont judge im tired
chris - Throw Down (uhh reading the lyrics chris is the kind to like really care but hes just done with everyone), Triage (he does not want to be deemed INNOCENT [he's still getting voted innocent])
dennis - After Pain ("“I’m sorry” won’t reach anyone (I hope it will someday) " dennis seems like the kind of kid to be bullied in school), Magic (dennis is at heart, childish. and also probably had shit parents. nothing wrong with the first one, everything wrong with the second one), The Purge March (eh hes probably not in a cult but like still he follows orders a bit too much to order idk how to explain it he remembers everything exactly except his own lines so like)
robert - half (kazui literally starts preforming an opera in the mv for this, anyways uhhh denise), It's Not My Fault (its literally in the name), Cat ("Love (plus) Destiny = Crap, smash it, shatter it, bye-bye / That sticky-sweet sequence: Dinner + Camouflage + You-Know-What / Loving Affection (minus) Love, it’s tacky, this two-way deceit / Victim and Perpetrator, let’s keep it simple" continuing half "Phew, oh wow I’m drunk, Hey, so what if I said I liked-liked you, what would you do?" this song is so painfully robert its insane idk why also kazui (prisoner singing the song) eats a fucking dove in the mv btw do with that info what you want idk)
sandra - MeMe (i have no actual reason for this just take my word for this one), It's Not My Fault (datte datte warekurai mon-), I Love You / Daisuki (see max's description) (im sorry there's still like 1 trial left, idk there's only like 20 songs)
max - This is how to be in love with you (title speaks for itself, max is a very loving person! sometimes too loving… like mahiru (prisoner singing the song) i think they would get along actually), I Love You / Daisuki (this song goes too hard to have that title, anyways Mon-mon-monstrously in love in love / Mon-mon-monstrous, cuz I love you so much / Mon-mon-monstrously in love in love / A monstrous dilemma!!!) (someone protect him)
johnathan - Weakness (idfk "ahHaHA, Please notice me. ahHaHA, Someone please notice me."), All-Knowing And All-Agony (probaby was neglected as a child or something idk now he indirectly relys on robert please dont listen to me im jsut spouting random shit atp im tired its 11 pmg now)
vanessa - Umbilical (i actually have no good reason for this), Tear Drop (i dont think she wants to be voted innocent for her murder [news flash, shes still getting voted innocent]), Double (or not innocent! idk man shes not mikoto (prisoner singing the song) but i gotta give his songs to someone and she kinda fits)
annie - HARROW (annie and trevor are similar in goals, to take down sin and make them pay for what they've done. however they do it in two different ways. idk those two different ways probably direct death threats (trevor) and an indirect slow death (annie). i have no fucking clue what im talking about actually), Deep Cover ("Don’t you dare stop now I want a reason for judgment execution, I want it" idk what kotoko (prisoner singing the song) ment by this but uhh do what you want with that)
trevor - Bring It On (see HARROW), Backdraft (LISTEN TO THE SONG ITS A FUCKING BANGER- anyways i have no reason for this than this connects with bring it on Burn, burn! An ever-victorious FIRE, burn so high till it becomes ash / Burn, burn! Deliciously scorched, till your mouth waters / Flames closing in, can’t douse this FIRE)

I don't know what got into me tonight..
Maybe it was thinking about the past.. lost love.. connections.. what ifs.. maybe it was the stars aligning.. maybe I've always looked up... even when I should be watching my feet. Sheepish blush. Yeah.. even got the neck to go along with all my stargazing.. lol. But really all I can do .. is think.. what if.. my soul's mates are under the same stars.. can feel me.. looking out my window at night before slipping beneath the covers .. know that I am praying to God that you can.. Somehow I know that you do.. like I feel.. you know me.. sometimes better than I do. Like you already know my mood ring eyes.. the constellations of freckles & moles from always being in the sunshine.. but now.. auburn haired.. gotta carry around ~50~100spf to not be a spotted lobster. Ugh. It's like.. we've passed each other.. like I've felt you but missed you .. but you saw me.. I just .. get this sense .. sometimes.. but I refuse to be star crossed. So... God Glimpses, a bit like Godwinks [yep. Hallmark movie series.], but winks are a bit of a coincidence. Wereas a Glimpse is God opening the curtains, barely, before my eyes. But they are both God's little by little, to keep from overwhelming my human brain. I'm not Lucy, & I don't use all of my 3# walnut like she did. Not sure it would behoove humanity to be able to! But ..anyways.. I think about all the universe.. the stars.. how many Goldilocks planets actually are there.. when will the peoples of Taren actually be mature enough to venture out amongst the stars.. & not cause wwiii. This. This is when I wanna be on top of a mountain.. to have a clear view of the sky & lay down & watch with my naked eyes .. curled up next to my soul's mates .. pointing out stars, asking questions, learning constellations.. just.. enjoying my loves .. &.. listening.. yes, I am a quiet woman. But I do my best to engage with humanity. Even moving an abandoned buggy in a walmart, & helping others. But I much rather be with my mates in the forest .. river.. lake.. mountain.. beach.. home...away from others, & live a life rich with life, love & laughter. A small community of like minded people. Don't bother me & mine & I'll leave ya alone. But right now.. I can only think about how to get there.. & seeing my loves .. for the real time. No distance, separation. No more evil. Nothing between us ever again. God's Plan. God's Miracle. God's Treasured Gifts. My soul's precious beloved Bears . Angels . Mates . And a whisper.. mine. I've longed for you .. search for you .. waited for you .. & I will continue to. Until God allows us to touch.. a sonic boom... across space.. & the infinite complexity of time. I'm tired. Of being without you . Of sleeping alone. Waking alone. Of not sharing my day.. my life.. with you . It's just ripping more & more at my soul these days. The pain I'm in.. even bruising my elbow on a ourex dish doesn't compare to the pain of my soul.. I only find solace in those twilight sleep state from 7.30a-8.30am.. when I'm waking.. but I'm dreaming that we are talking. I hate waking up. Even more than I ever did. Ms grumpy pants. Lol. I want your body wrapped around me.. your nose buried in the hair escaped from my long braid.. it's a mess. To feel your fingers in it as we both wake up.. oh how I wanna whisper your cherished nickname in a groan as we wake .. lusty for lovin..
oh I don't know where this one came from..
but I'm exhausted. And have a counseling appt at 11am tomorrow. So gotta do bed time chores then my butt to bed.
I'm thinking like this now..
Top that! It's bed time! Now shoo! Omg! Lmao!
Tumblr media
Alrighty then! Punch drunk kat!
Beddy bye!
G'night!
Whomever.. wherever.. you are.. I love you . And miss you so much I wanna punch the stars to get us aligned!
~True love never dies & true love always waits.~
Your goofy wacky sleepy kat daughter
Your complex quirky warrior queen daughter!

Throwdown (Non School Sets)
Tumblr media
A nervous Quinn and Finn are at the OB/GYN to check out the sonograms for their baby. 
Quinn (whispers): I’m freaking out.
Finn: Everything's gonna be fine.
Obstetrician: Relax. At your age, there's very little chance of anything being wrong.
Finn: Awesome.    (He smiles big.) 
Obstetrician: It is gonna be a little cool to the touch.    She put some gel on the camera but before she could put it on her, Quinn stopped her. 
Quinn: Can you just be careful with my uniform?
Obstetrician: All right. Speaking of your ages, have you two given any thought to what you’re gonna do after the baby is born?
Fin: Whatever Quinn wants is fine.
Obstetrician: Well, if it makes a difference, it's a girl. 
The couple were shocked. 
Out of the room, Will was sitting down in the lobby as Finn came out of the room.��
Will: Hmm. Hey.
Finn: Hey.  (Sits down beside him.) The baby's fine. Uh, no mutations or anything. Not even any cool ones. Thanks for taking us today. I was too freaked out to drive. 
Will: Yeah. No problem. Hey. You doing all right?
Finn: Um, no. I mean, how am I supposed to take care of a real person? My mom won’t even let me have fish.
Will: I thought Quinn wanted to give the baby up for adoption.
Finn: For now, but we both know that’s not my call. This sucks. Get all the stress and the worry and none of the control.
Quinn leaves the room. Will and Finn saw her coming out.          Finn: It’s cool, Mr. Schue. You wouldn’t understand.
–––––
At William's apartment, Terri is talking on the phone with her sister, Kendra. 
On Kendra's side, her triplet children were shrieking and jumping up and down on the bed. 
Kendra: I wanted to remind you to tell that Quinn girl not to vaccinate in the hospital. I’m pretty sure those shots made my kids stupid.
Terri: Oh. I guess I could use the vaccination money to buy the organic crib mattress. I mean, what are the chances of the baby getting polio, right?
Will took the phone from Terri's hand and spoke two words.       Will: Bye, Kendra.  He hang up the phone. 
With the phone hang up, Kendra yelled. Kendra: I hate you, Will!
Terri: That was rude! Don’t take the stress of your workday out on me.
Will: I don’t wanna take it out on you, Terri. I just don’t wanna feel as powerless in my own home as I do at school. I have to come home and listen to you making major decisions about our son with your sister. I haven’t even felt the baby kick yet and the only time I’ve ever been to an OB/GYN office was when I took Quinn and Finn for the 10-week ultrasound. 
Terri's attention was on that.  Terri: You did? How's the baby?
Will: Fine. It's a girl. That's not the point.
Terri: Well, what is the point, Will?
Will: My point is that I am the father of that baby. And I’m coming with you to your next doctor's appointment. 
––––––
After a day at work, Will was grading papers and Terri approached him with a beer.
Will:  Oh! Thanks, honey. I wanna finish grading these papers first.
Terri: What, you think the kids weren't drunk when they wrote 'em, hmm?
She then sat on the coffee table.    Terri: Listen, honey. I’ve  been a really crummy wife lately.
Will: Uh, Terri, you’re carrying my baby. I have no right to expect anything more than that from you.
Terri: No, that is my sister's marriage, and I don’t want it. (Then moves to sit beside him.) Anyway, listen. I think that I might be able to help you with your problems at school.
Will: Uh, thanks, Terri, but the last time you helped out at school it didn’t go over very well. (He pokes her nose.) 
Terri was speechless. 
Will: Besides, this is serious. I mean, Sue said she wouldn’t rest until she saw me fired.
Terri: All the more reason. You gotta do whatever it takes, honey. You gotta get down in the gutter if you wanna win this.
–––––
Terri is looking desperately through her drawer and finds her pregnancy pad, just as Will gets home.     Will: Hey, babe, you home?
Terri put it on under her shirt. 
Will: Hey, what’s for dinner?
Terri: Oh! Why don’t you get something from takeout, sweetie.
Will: Hey, listen. I don’t expect you to start cooking but on nights when you’re home first, I think It’s appropriate for you to take care of dinner.
Terri: Wow, you’re so forceful. What’s gotten into you?
Will: You. You were right. I stood up to Sue and now she's begging me for mercy. Oh, I feel great! And I have you to thank for it.
Terri: I have my moments, huh?         Goes to leave. 
Will: You’re gonna have another one this Friday at 4:00. I made an appointment for us with Dr. Woo.
Terri was scared that the truth will come out.     Terri: My obstetrician.
Will (smiles): Yep.
Terri: Oh.    Inside she was terrified. 
Will: I’m finally gonna get a look at my little boy. Hey. Pick whatever you want for dinner. (Kisses her)  Just not Chinese again.
–––––
Kendra and Terri went to go to see Dr. Wu at the OB/GYN. 
Dr. Wu: My job is very stressful. After dentists, obstetricians have the highest rate of suicide among medical professionals. Caring for my bonsai relaxes me.
Terri: I had a huge crush on the Karate Kid when I was a teenager.
Kendra: Can we cut the crap?
Dr. Wu: I guess I’m a little curious as to what you ladies want from me. Neither of you are pregnant.
Kendra: Well, Woo you delivered all three of my kids. Each one is dumber than the last. Plus, they all have A.D.D. And, although my husband nor I have red hair they are all creepy ginger kids.
Dr. Wu: It’s caused by a recessive gene.
Kendra: That’s one theory. Do you wanna hear mine? You gave me too much Pitocin when I was in labor and it screwed up their DNA.
Dr. Wu was so calm.         Dr. Wu: That’s not a theory. You just made that up. Mrs. Schuester, is your sister on some kind of new psychotropic medication?
Terri: Not that I know of.
Kendra: That’s offensive.          She retorted back putting up a act. 
Terri approached her sister.       Terri: Are you all right?
Kendra: Shh. Here’s the deal, Wu. My husband does the taxes for some very powerful mid size law firms in this town. And I’m sure somebody would be more than happy to take on my lawsuit.
Dr. Wu: You’ll never win.
Kendra: I don’t have to win. There’s only two OBs in this town. You get even the slightest stink on you and you can bet that a bunch of your patients will just close on up their legs and walk on over to Dr. Chin.
Dr. Wu: Okay, this is outrageous. What do you want?
––––––
Will and Terri are at the OB/GYN and with some sneaky planning from Terri. 
There was blue sheet over Terri's belly which confused Will. 
Will: Is that necessary? It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I mean, I am the one who knocked her up.
Dr. Wu: Just standard operating procedure. You okay, Mr. Schuester? You seem upset.
Will: Just-Just a little stressed. Bad day at work.
Terrri: Will, you’re about to see your child for the first time. Can you forget about those dancing delinquents for one minute?
Will: You’re right. I’m sorry. Oh, my parents are gonna kill me if I don’t come home with a DVD. Got it right here.
Wu showed him a disc.    Wu: Got it right here. Wu squeezed some gel on a bowl. 
Will: Oh, that must be cold.
Wu: Sorry about that.
Terri: It’s really... Yeah, it’s a little cold.
Terri kept an act up and the wand pointing towards her legs. 
The sonagram showed a baby that was a bit small. Will: Wow! That’s him!
Terri cleared her throat.  Wu: Oh, hold on a sec.
Will (concern) What? I-Is something wrong with him?
Wu: Well, not exactly. This is really embarrassing, but it appears as if your boy is a girl.
Terri gasped and Will was shocked.    Wil: Oh, my God. Did something happen to his...
Wu: No, he never had one. He’s a she. Must have misread the first sonogram. Sorry about that.
Will teared up at the sight of his Possible baby. 
Terri: Honey, I, I didn’t know that having a boy was so important to you.
Will (tearfully): It isn’t. I don’t care what she is. She’s all ours. I’m just so happy.
Will leaned down to his wife.         Terri: No matter what happens I want you to remember at this moment that we love each other. Okay? 
During this moment, they sealed it with a kiss.
(I HATE  TERRI!!!!!)

started from a call
full masterlist
Pairings: Bucky Barnes x female!reader
Word count: 3,610
Warning: angst with a happy ending! that's all.
Summary: written for @wkemeup's 9k writing challenge with the prompt "character a leaves an embarrassing, drunk message on character b’s voicemail and spends the rest of the night trying to discreetly delete it from [b]’s phone." inspired by a bit of ross and rachel from friends too. you found out from steve that bucky was in love with you in high school but after he returns home with a girl in his arm, you cancelled your plans to tell him how you feel. will you and bucky have your happy ending?
a/n: please like, reblog and leave a feedback. :) enjoy!
Tumblr media
"Alright, I'll see you tonight. Bye." He leaned against the kitchen counter and hung up the phone with a grin on his face. "You hear that, Sam? We're going on our third date tonight." He threw his phone up into the air and caught it so casually without spilling a drop of his coffee sitting on his right hand. "Looks like I'm getting that 300 bucks soon."
"Hey, easy. You ain't going to that date yet, who knows? She could bail on you. It doesn't count if the date doesn't end well."
"Oh, but it will. I just gotta turn on my charm and next thing you know, we're already meeting the parents stage."
"Meeting the parents? That's a big step from you, Buck."
"Hey, I'm a man of my words. If I said that I'm going to change this year then I'm gonna stick to it."
"So Leah isn't just a one-time thing to get 300 bucks?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no. We'll see how tonight goes. But one thing's for sure is that I'm getting that 300 bucks."
Sam and Bucky made a bet as their New Year's resolution that Bucky would never go on a second date with any girl or remember to call her in the morning after a wild night. His commitment issues had given him a reputation as the player in the gang. It wasn't a new thing anymore to anyone that when they visited Bucky's place in the morning, they would see a girl with a dopey smile and slightly ruffled hair walking out of his apartment, giddy that Bucky just made a promise to call her later.
You, Natasha, Wanda, Sam and Steve were hanging out at Nat's place. The six of you had been friends since college. You, Nat, Bucky and Steve had known each other since high school and the four of you kept in touch despite going to separate universities. You met Wanda when you went to NYU and Steve met Sam while he was in Harvard. Long story short, after the four of you graduated, you and Wanda lived together as roommates and even started your own bakery business. Steve and Bucky lived in the same building as you and Natasha and Sam lived nearly alone. They were too independent for roommates. Don't even start on Natasha and how much she valued her personal space. That's how the six of you ended up here, gathered at your place on a Saturday afternoon.
"Are you gonna pick her up tonight?"
"Of course. Gonna clean up well, bring her some flowers and knock on her door at 7 pm precisely. Which girl isn't gonna fall for that?" Bucky walked over to the couch you and Nat were sitting on and leaned on the headrest, his arms caging both you and Natasha.
You didn't say anything nor did Natasha because she knew about your feelings for Bucky. Despite never feeling that way about Bucky in high school, your feelings changed a week ago after learning that Bucky used to be in love with you but never had the courage to tell you. That's why he never had a girlfriend during his high school years and he wanted to take you to prom and confess his feelings to you but he was too late. Another guy had already snooped in first.
You were his first love but it wasn't reciprocated until now. That's why in college, he learned how to get over you and slept with as many women as possible because he felt like he lost four years of his life of finding the one. He never intended to be a player and feed girls empty promises, it just kind of became his way of dating. He was too afraid that no one could live up to you yet he enjoyed being with women. Hence, the bet.
The day you found out from Steve about Bucky's past feelings for you while playing truth or dare, you immediately wanted to call him up but Bucky was out of town for a few days and as soon as he was back home, he had Leah in his arm. Your heart was crushed. Wanda told you that it would probably last for a few days and that he'd eventually be single again but you totally did not expect this thing to turn into something serious. You loved Sam with every fibre of your being, he was like the big brother you never had, but you wanted to curse him for making that bet.
So you just rolled your eyes and stayed silent throughout this entire conversation, even though your heart felt like it was being stabbed over and over again. "Alright, I gotta go. Got a big date tonight. I'll see you guys in a few hours." Just like that, Bucky walked out of the room without knowing the pain his words caused you.
The next day you were sitting in your bed watching The Notebook in your pyjamas because you were too heartbroken to do anything productive. It was Sunday so you could just have a whole day to yourself and do absolutely nothing but cry. Wanda knocked on your door bringing a plate of cookies and she had a pitiful look on her face. "y/n? Sweetie? I made you these cookies, they might make you feel better." Sometimes you thank the stars for bringing her into your life.
"Thank you, Wanda. You're so nice to me." You know you probably sound like a hormonal whiny kid but everything made you cry at the moment.
"Do you need anything else? I know how it feels to get your heartbroken, trust me. When me and Vision had a fight and we didn't talk for days all I wanted was to curl up and never leave my bed, so in case you need anything, I'm here." She offered you that warm smile of hers.
"No, all I want right now is to just eat these cookies and go back to my film, thanks Wan."
"Okay, I'll be outside." Your pity party was interrupted when Nat arrived in her leather jacket and burst into your room.
"Get up, you are taking a shower and you're getting that face beat."
"Natasha, what the hell? Leave me alone."
"Y/N, listen to me. I got a date for you. His name is Scott and he's a real nice guy, he's funny, he's a good friend of mine and he is really smart. He is so much better than Bucky, I promise you. Now c'mon, I already told him that you are meeting him tonight at Stark's restaurant at 7."
You whined, doing anything you can to get her to leave you alone with your tears and your cookies but you knew that once Natasha set her mind on something, there's no talking her way out of it. Damn that woman with her determination.
"Y/N, c'mon! Wallowing all day isn't you. I know you and what's good for you. That's why I found you a great guy who will charm you so good that you will forget Barnes even existed. You can't let him win, y/n. If he's going to be happy with someone else, then you better show him that you can be much happier with other people."
You stared at her, trying to absorb her words. There's some wisdom in that. You're not the type to cry over a guy, not even for even Bucky Barnes. So you let Natasha drag you to the shower and asked Wanda to do your hair when she does your makeup. She chose an outfit for you, a dress that was not too sexy but chic enough to leave a good first impression.
Scott was early to the restaurant and he looked elated to see you. He was wearing a grey suit with no tie and he had a really exuberant smile on his face, the type that drew people easily. You could see why Natasha called him a nice guy.
"Wow, sorry, I just- didn't expect you to be this beautiful."
"Ah, thank you, Scott. Have you been waiting long?"
"No, not at all. I just arrived here like five minutes ago."
The night went on and Scott did most of the asking and talking, you answered each question curtly with forced enthusiasm in your face and body language. You weren't even listening to half of the things he said because your mind kept playing images of Bucky with Leah and how you heard from Sam that the date went well so he lost 300 bucks. You kept thinking about Bucky and Leah and how they would probably get married and have kids and live in the suburbs with a golden retriever while you'd still be single and you'd compare every man you meet to Bucky. Maybe it was your karma for not reciprocating his feelings in high school.
Five glasses of wine and you spent more time nodding than talking. Honestly, all you wanted to do was to just go home and go back to The Notebook because their love story was much better than your love life. Scott woke you out of your daze, "Natasha told you that I was cuter than this, did she?" after you gulped your sixth glass of wine.
"Oh Scott, I'm so sorry. It's not you, it's me. I know it sounds cliche but it's just... I'm not in a place where I'm looking for a boyfriend. You are a really likeable guy and I swear, if we had met at another time, maybe I would be a better date but right now, I just- I have someone else in my mind." You sighed, it felt like a relief to get that off your chest.
"Is this guy... an ex-boyfriend?"
You chuckled, "no... He wishes."
Scott nodded, "look, I don't know what your situation is but I've been through a divorce and it's never easy. But eventually, you'll be fine. You can't see it now because you haven't had closure." Then it was as if the bulb above your head was turned on.
"That's it.  Closure, yeah. That's all I need. Okay, give me a minute. I'm gonna call him now and I'm going to get my closure."
Scott sat there watching you comically trying to find your phone in your purse and tapped on Bucky's contact number. The normal you would be sweating with every ring but intoxicated you had no worries in the world... For now.
"This is Bucky. Can't pick up right now, leave a message." Beep.
"Hello, yes, Bucky! Or James, should I call you James? I always thought Bucky was a weird name. Anyways, I'm just calling to tell you that I am fine and I am on a date with Scott. And speaking of dates, I just gotta tell you that I'm happy to hear that your date went well. And that, my friend, means that I am over you. That's right, I'm over you. Tell Leah I say hi." You said sarcastically.
You hung up the phone and threw your phone back into your purse. You felt like you just won a chess game.
The next morning you decided to sleep in because your heart was pounding and you could barely sit up without feeling like you might fall. You were supposed to be working at the bakery but since you owned the bakery, Wanda let you sleep it off until you recover. You couldn't remember anything from last night, how you got back to your apartment was a mystery. You tried to put the pictures together, from being forced to go on a date, meeting a guy named Sean? Simon? Sebastian? Scott! Yes, Scott. You ordered your meals and then... Nothing, it was all blurry. You weren't even sure if anything happened at all after eating your meals.
The apartment was empty because Wanda was working at the bakery and it was just you with your hangover pills. Bucky came to your apartment without knocking because Wanda told him on the phone that you were home. He greeted you with a smile and asked about your date.
"Uh, let's see. I think there was a restaurant, I know there was wine. And there's a guy, Scott and pretty much that's all I can recall."
Bucky made a yikes face. Seeing the state you were in, he could do the math (of the wine you had). You probably enjoyed the alcohol more than the guy. What a doofus, he thought. If he was the one going on a date with you, you'd definitely remember every detail from last night.
"Leah's downstairs and I'm taking her back to her place but I left my keys here last night. Have you seen it?"
"No, check the drawers. Maybe Wanda put 'em there."
"Ah, okay." He opened the drawers and found the keys to his bike.
"Did we... Speak on the phone last night?"
"Nope, my phone was dead and I didn't charge it all night so I haven't really checked it. Why?"
"Nothing, nothing. It's just... Never mind. My memories are a bit hazy right now. You should go, say hi to Leah for me."
Bucky nodded as you walked back to your room to go lie down. Your question reminded him that he should probably check his phone now because there could be work-related messages but the first thing he heard was a voicemail from you. "Oh, y/n. I got your message!"
That instantly stopped you in your tracks. Your eyes went wide and you froze. You immediately turned around and ran to grab his phone away from him. Bucky had a confused look on his face, "who's Scott?"
"Oh my God, no, Bucky, give me the phone. Give me the phone!" But it was already too late, he was already halfway through your voicemail and by the time you successfully snatched his phone out of his grasp, he had already heard every word.
Bucky stood there dumbfounded, he needed time to process everything you just said to him. "What do you- what do you mean you're over me?"
"Oh, God... Alright, um- lately, I've um- sort of, have... Feelings for you." You never had to chase a guy or confess your crush first so this felt new and my God, it was nerve-racking.
"You have feelings for me..." He said it as if he was convincing himself that his ears got it right. Bucky couldn't believe the words that just escaped through your lips, for years he had dreamed of this moment. Though never did he ever want you to make the first move but adolescent him wanted to hear you say what he'd been wanting to say to you too.
He didn't say anything for what felt like minutes and you couldn't decipher his thoughts from the look on his face. "I need to sit down," he pulled one of the dining chairs and leaned on his side in a defeated posture.
"Bucky... Please say something." You alerted him in a hushed tone, not wanting to startle him than you already did. But he didn't. He was lost at words. What the hell was he supposed to tell her?
"Look Bucky, I'm sorry for telling you this way but I had to. I just- I've been wanting to talk to you about it since you came back to New York, well- actually, since Steve told me but-"
"Whoa, Steve told you?!" He interrupted.
"Yeah, it just accidentally slipped when we were playing truth or dare..."
"Okay well," he stood up from his seat, yet he still couldn't look you in the eye. "I can't do this right now, Leah's waiting for me downstairs and I gotta go." He basically ran out of the room and slammed the door behind him, leaving you alone.
Once your hangover had begun dissipating, you decided to help Wanda at the bakery and took the night shift. She must've been exhausted from managing the bakery alone while also helping the employees in the kitchen so you told her to go home and leave it to you. The bakery's usually slower at night.
When it was nearing closing time and your employees had gone home, you decided to clean up and turned off the lights and checked everything one last time before locking the door. The bell above the door dinged and you were slightly annoyed because who the hell comes to the bakery at this hour?
"I'm sorry we're clo...sed." It was Bucky. He stood there in a black coat, with an expression you still couldn't figure out. "Bucky, what are you-"
"You have no right to tell me that you've got feelings for me." His tone was harsh, he never spoke that way to you or anyone... Ever.
"What?"
He walked closer to you, maintaining his gaze, "You can not tell me that you've got feelings for me now when I'm doing well with my life and Leah..."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I was in love with you for years! Years, y/n! And you never said and did anything and now when everything's going well you're ruining it!"
"I am ruining it?" You repeated the question because you couldn't believe what you just heard. How dare he said those hurtful things to you.
"Yes! I was doing fine with Leah and now I don't know what's going to happen with me and her anymore..."
"Yeah, well, I was doing fine before I found out that YOU were in love with me and never had the balls to tell me!" You did everything you could to not cry, you hated crying in the middle of an argument.
"Hey, it's not like I didn't try. There were your ex-boyfriends and your dates and I had to move on. I couldn't wait forever! And now, now you're too late."
"Oh, so what? You're just gonna walk away and pretend that this never happened?"
"Yes, I'm going to do exactly that and I'm going to go see Leah." He turned around like he did earlier in your apartment and left you alone once again with your heartbreak.
"Fine! Go ahead and see Leah because I don't give a fuck about cowards like you or whoever you sleep with." You slammed the door and tried everything you could to not have a breakdown here because you really hated letting an argument hurt you. You sat on one of the chairs where the customers would sit and you hid your face with your hands and cried.
Not because you just lost an argument but because of what Bucky said and it felt like you had lost Bucky before you even had him. Now there was no hope left for you and Bucky, things were too complicated.
You didn't know how long you had cried there, alone, in the dimmed lighting of your shop but after you felt like the tears had dried, you wiped the traces of your tears from your cheeks with the back of your thumb. You stood from your seat and was ready to go home. You couldn't wait to eat some leftover pizzas, take a warm shower and cry into your pillows until you fall asleep.
But when you were about to leave, you saw Bucky standing on the other side of the door, watching you through the windows with a softer expression on his face. You opened the door and Bucky instantly grabbed your waist and kissed you as if his life depended on it.
You gave in to his kiss, letting him pour every desire and yearning into your lips for as long as he wanted. You grabbed his face because you wanted him impossibly closer and you shut your eyes, letting your guard down. Because it was Bucky, and you'd known him for as long as you could remember and you both deserved this moment.
Bucky eventually pulled away until both of you were running out of air. You were breathless from his kiss, you never knew he was such a good kisser. (It's Bucky and he's had a lot of women on his bed, of course, he was excellent at it. Who were you kidding?) But now that you've had your own front-row experience, you felt a tad of possessiveness at the thought of sharing those lips or any part of him with anyone else.
"I couldn't go back to her knowing you are here alone and I had thrown away what I've wanted for as long as I could remember."
"I'm glad you came back." You pressed your foreheads and you rested your hands on his chest. You could get used to this.
"I hope it's not too late to say this but, y/n y/l/n, will you let me take you to dinner and see a movie after maybe?"
"I wasn't the one who said it's too late," you halfheartedly teased him.
"Shut up, so is that a yes or a no?"
You bit your lip and nodded, "yes. Definitely a yes." You stared into his ocean blue eyes, so deep and beautiful, you could easily get lost in it.
"y/n y/ln, I'm going to put all of your ex-boyfriends to shame."
"Hm, we'll see about that." You put your arms around his neck. Then a thought crossed your mind and your smile faded away, "what are you gonna do about Leah though?"
"I'll talk to her in the morning. Let's take you home now, yeah? It's getting late."
You bit your lip and nodded, "okay."
Ninth grade you dreamed of popular jocks and athletic seniors, but little did you know that, sometimes, the one who sincerely loved you was the book nerd who loved The Hobbit a little too much.

Bet
JJ Maybank x Reader
Reposting from my deleted account with minor edits.
Tumblr media
Not my photo. All credit to original poster @pop-punk-maybank​ <3
"You wanna put some stakes on this, Maybank?" You asked, feeling especially cocky.
"You think you can beat me at beer pong?" JJ asked incredulously. You had to admit it was pretty arrogant of you to think you could beat JJ, aka beer pong king of OBX.
"Oh, I know I can babe." You doubled down. JJ smirked.
"Alright, what do I get when I win?" JJ asked confidently, putting his hands on the table and purposely flexing his muscles as he leaned forward.
"Whad'you want?"
JJ smiled. "After the game is over, you have to jump off the dock, into the marsh." You frowned. You were a little let down by the anti-climatic nature of his dare; it was unlike the blonde.
"I didn't bring a bathing suit." You quickly retorted, shaking your head, knowing that wasn't an option.
“Yeah, I know. You aren’t wearing a bra either.” JJ smiled devilishly. A chorus of “oohs” came from the group that was gradually gathering around. Your mouth dropped open a little.
You closed your mouth and glared at JJ for a second. “Bet.” You said and gasps of disbelief and giggles left the small crowd. Even JJ raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at your answer, but he regained his confident front quickly. “And if I win, you have to show me the video Pope took of you from last weekend.”
JJ immediately dropped his smirk. Pope and John B shared glances, obviously knowing what JJ says/does in the video. “Yeah, that’s not happening.” JJ said looking away.
“Only if you lose.” You reminded him and JJ looked up at you. “What? Is JJ Maybank scared to lose at beer pong to a chick?” You challenged.
Laughs and more “oohs” came from the small group of party-goers. 
JJ looked at you for a minute. “Fuck it. Fine. Let’s do it.”
The game got set up.
“Last chance to back out, Y/L/N. You ready?” 
“I’m always ready for your JJ.” You teased. He shook his head, knowing the tactic of trying to distract him with flirting all too well. You looked at each other in the eyes and took the first shot at the same time to see who would go first. Your ball bounced off the rim of the solo cup and of course, JJ’s sunk in one. You took a breath in and JJ smiled and cocked his head at you. 
“Get used to passing those back to me, Y/N/N, because you’re not gonna keep them at all tonight.”
“Yeah, keep talking shit, JJ. We know this is the only way you’re scoring tonight.”
JJ’s first shot of course went right in. “Drink up, babe”
You smiled and grabbed the first cup, downing it easily. “How’s losing taste?” He asked, getting cockier by the second.
“Just shoot your shot.”
He does and sinks another one, shit-eating grin only growing more. “Balls back.” He smirked. You glared for the umpteenth time that night, but matched his smirk as you rolled the balls back and downed another cup. 
“You regretting this bet now?” JJ asked as he sunk another one. 
“There’s a lot of game left, Maybank.” You continued feigning confidence. 
Finally, JJ misses one. “Fuck” JJ whispers under his breath. “Alright, Y/L/N, let’s see what you got.”
You shot and made it, grinning at JJ. “Okay, okay. it’s just one.” JJ says and gulps down the first drink. You sink another one. “Balls back.” You smile.
You waste no time sinking the 3rd one. “Getting nervous, J?” You ask. But before he can answer, you’re missing your 4th shot, “Not really.” JJ replies cooly. 
The game went on and of course... JJ won.
“Never shoulda bet against me, Y/L/N.” JJ gloated smugly. “I definitely should have raised the stakes though, because jumping into the marsh with your clothes on isn’t really that satisfying for me.”
“Who said I was gonna keep my clothes on?” You asked seductively as you shimmied out of your denim shorts, but leaving your cheeky underwear on. JJ gaped at you for a second before regaining composure and smirking at you. You turned your back to him and took your top off before swan diving off the dock. 
“Fuck that’s cold!” You yelled when you resurfaced and approached the ladder to get back on the dock. JJ had a towel ready for you, but when you went to grab it, JJ pulled it back, just out of reach with that shit-eating grin on his face. You shot daggers at him with your eyes.
“First, say: ‘JJ is the sexiest, funniest, smartest guy I know and I was completely wrong for thinking I could beat him at anything.” 
If looks could kill, JJ Maybank would be one dead pogue from the scowl you were giving him.
“Fuck that. JJ, give me the fucking towel.” You said reaching for it again and not realizing your bare chest was coming out of the water. JJ smirked down at you and licked his lips, before you threw your arm over your chest to cover your boobs. He chuckled to himself, “The water really is cold, huh?” he teased, 
“JJ.” You said sternly.
“You gotta say it.” 
You inhaled deeply, “JJ’s the sexiest, funniest guy and I was wrong for thinking I could beat him.” You muttered and slurred quickly under your breath.
“What was that Y/N/N? I didn’t hear you.”
“Fuck you ...JJ is the sexiest, funniest, smartest guy I know and I was wrong-”
“Completely!” JJ clarified.
“-completely wrong for thinking I could beat him. Now give me the fucking towel, Maybank.”
JJ held the towel out, unfolded so it completely covered the view of you climbing the ladder so no one could see you, but he didn’t turn away, instead he kept eye contact with you even as you struggled to cover your boobs while climbing up the ladder. Once you emerged, he wrapped the towel around you and smiled. You held the towel around you as you kept eye contact with JJ a little longer than usual. You looked away first and cleared your throat. Getting nervous, you stuck your hand out for a handshake. “Good game, Maybank.”
“Good game, Y/L/N.” He said sweetly. And with his guard down, you easily pushed him off the dock and into the water. You laughed as did a lot of the party who witnessed it. 
JJ surfaced, “Oh you are so dead, Y/N! You know that right?” JJ said dangerously as he quickly paddled over to the ladder and you started to retreat.
-
You and JJ ended up in a tickle/wrestling match, after he chased you. And as the party continued, JJ only seemed to cling to you more. You couldn’t help but think that maybe the relationship between you two was more than just shameless flirting, that maybe it could be something more. JJ let you borrow some of his clothes after you both ended up in the marsh, so you could be warm and comfy. You were in his lap with is arms around your waist, sitting around the fire, when your brother texted that he was on his way to pick you up. 
“Time to go?” JJ whispered to you, resting his chin on your shoulder as he read the text on your phone. 
“Yep, it’s that time.” You sighed and leaned into him for just a second before standing up. JJ followed you away from the fire. “So I’ll see you tomorrow night at the movie thing? I’ll bring back your hoodie all washed.”
“Oh no, don’t worry about it. Looks better on you anyway.” JJ smiled as he brought a hand up to your cheek and ran his thumb along your jaw. You couldn’t suppress the butterflies swarming your stomach. You both looked down at the other’s lips when a horn honked loudly. 
Both of your heads snapped in that direction and JJ’s hand immediately fell from your cheek. “Y/N let’s go!” Your brother yelled from his truck
 Now, Jj was the one who cleared his throat awkwardly, “Okay, so yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
You laughed at the awkwardness of the situation, “Bye” 
JJ bit his lip, shoving his hands in his pockets and smiling before turning back to the party.
You walked over to your brother’s truck. “I’m just gonna go inside and go to the bathroom real quick.” 
This earned an eye roll from your brother.
When you walked out of the bathroom and out of the Chateau, you saw JJ grabbing a drink from the cooler ...and he wasn’t alone. Your heart sank as you saw him handing a girl you’d never seen before a drink, both smiling and laughing before JJ followed the girl and sat next to her around the fire. 
Maybe it was all in your head. Would JJ Maybank actually be more interested in you than just a friend he flirted with? He did flirt with everyone after all. You just thought maybe it was different with you. Did it really only take 5 minutes for him to move on to the next girl? 
“Hey, you okay?” A voice asked, pulling you out of your heartbreaking thought spiral. It was Pope. He was headed inside to get some water. Pope followed your gaze to where JJ and the girl were, the tears in your eyes threatening to slip out.
“What?” You asked after not really processing what he said as you finally broke your gaze off JJ and looked at Pope who gave you a sympathetic smile. “Yeah, I’m fine!” You said wiping your eyes. “My brother’s waiting to take me home, so I gotta go. I’ll see you tomorrow?” You sniffled. 
Pope smiled sweetly, “Yeah, see you then Y/N.”
You got into your brother’s truck and he started driving back to your house when you got a text from Pope. 
Pope: I know you lost, but I’m gonna show it to you anyway.
Then another text came through, this one was a video. The video of JJ from last weekend.
In the video, all 3 boys were out in the hammocks, visibly drunk, or high ...or both. JJ being the worst of the 3.
Pope was holding the phone. “So JJ, your turn: who’s the one girl on the island for you?”
JJ scoffed drunkenly and it was clear that he didn’t know Pope was filming: “Bro, obvusly it’s Y/N/N dude. Y/F/N fucking Y/L/N. I’d simp so hard for that girl. ...I just want to buy her flowers. I think she likes peenie...ponies...pennies ..whas it called?” 
“You mean peonies?” Pope clarified. John B looked at Pope and realized he was filming and gave Pope a knowing smile. 
“Yeah those. Penonies, pen- whatever. I just want to treat her like a princess. Like sleeping beauty ...Y/N loves taking naps. Or Belle... she reads a lot n stuff ...or ooh Ariel, that’s the one. She’s just like Ariel ...like a mermaid.”
“Y/N has y/h/c hair” Pope stated but JJ ignored this.
“Yeah anything else, J?” John B asked wanting JJ to continue.
“I dunno dude. I just want to brush her hair n feed her grapes.”
John B and Pope couldn’t help but laugh, “Feed her grapes?” John B asked laughing.
“Yeah, dud-” and with that JJ finally turned and realized Pope was filming, “Arr you fucking recording this?!” JJ asked starting to reach over and wrestle with Pope. 
“Oh my god. I cannot wait to show this to Y/N.” Pope laughed.
There was more wrestling between JJ and Pope before the video stopped. 
You smiled down at your phone. “Thanks Pope <3″ you replied back.

Reconnecting - Loona Jinsoul
Tumblr media
A/N: Her stage name is Jinsoul, but I chose to use Jinsol since that’s her real name anyways and it’s romanized as that more commonly.
"Yo, over here!" You spot a raised hand among the tables.
"Sup dude." You pull your old friend in for a friendly hug. "How you been?"
"Good man. You brought the books I asked for?"
You smack your forehead. "Ah damn, I forgot, sorry, I'll bring it next time." You try to quickly change topics. "How's work? Is this your girlfriend? Nice to meet you." You ask about the pretty lady sitting next to him, nodding your head at her as you take a seat.
"What? It's Jinsol, my sister? You remember right?"
"Wait really? I didn't recognize you, it has been so long, I'm so sorry!"
"It's been a while oppa." Jinsol greets you cutely, her long black hair contrasting beautifully with her bright smile and round eyes.
"Wow, when did you get so pretty?" You can't help but wonder out loud, making her blush.
"Dude, again, it's my sister."
"Right, sorry, just." You shake your head and quickly switch topics again. "Why is she here?"
"I dunno, I mentioned I was meeting you for dinner, and she said she wanted to tag along."
"What, I can't tag along? I haven’t seen oppa in a while!"
"Don't you have a schedule or filming to go to?" He says irritably.
"Nope, I'm free today!"
"You're in... film?" You ask, uncertain.
"No no!" Jinsol waves her hands rapidly. "I'm an idol now! Have you heard of Loona?"
"Oh, is that what stan Loona is? You guys are popular!"
Jinsol smiles happily at you. "Yes that's us! Yay I'm glad you heard of us, we just finished promotions! You should meet the other members some time! You should listen to our songs too, I recommend-"
"Come on, no talking about work!"
"Right, sorry." Jinsol sullenly sinks back into her seat.
"It's okay for you to be out and about like this?"
"Yeah it's fine, a hat does a lot."
"Come on, let's order." Your old friend says, annoyed that you two are taking up all the air time. As the meat and drinks come in your friend leans in. "So, speaking of girlfriends, what about you?"
"Ah you know, men and women, they swipe in different directions." When they look confused you continue. "I swipe right, they swipe left."
That earns you a hearty laugh from your friend and a giggle from Jinsol. "You're so funny oppa!" The two of you look at Jinsol weirdly.
"What do you know about swiping? You're an idol!"
"I hear enough about it from others, there's this app called Fromis I think, have you heard of it?" The two of you shake your head. "Well it's a dating app too and there's swiping involved, so I get the joke! Ooh the food's here, let's eat!"
The three of you dig into the grilled pork belly, mostly involving you catching up with your old friend, while Jinsol randomly interjects, asking you the most random questions and annoying her brother. After several drinks, eventually all the food is gone.
"Damn that was good." He looks at his phone. "Shit I gotta go, let's get the bill." The three of you quickly pay and exit the restaurant.
"Are you drunk?" You ask a staggering Jinsol.
"Noooooo..." Comes her slurred reply, swaying around and nearly falling if the two of you hadn't caught her.
"Ugh, look I'm sorry, can you see that she gets back okay? My boss is calling me up for some dumb thing."
"Yeah sure, do you know where she lives?"
"No." He digs in Jinsol's bag for her phone. He presses her finger to the fingerprint reader and it unlocks. Scrolling through her contacts he finds someone to call.
"Hi is this Jinsol's "Unnie One"? I'm her brother and she kinda drank a lot, where should I bring her back to? Okay got it thanks!" He hands you the phone. "You'll get a text, just take her there."
"I got it, go man."
"Aight, good to see you man, it was great catching up!" He waves good bye and hurries off.
You drag Jinsol to a bench, her head slumped on your shoulder as you wait for the text. Thankfully it comes quickly and you grab a cab with her. As you ride quietly in the cab, you feel Jinsol slump on your shoulder once more. You gently try to push her to the window, but like a magnet she keeps coming back. Her arm wraps around yours, clinging to you, and you give up, allowing her to snuggle against you as she sleeps the ride away.
"Jinsol, we're here." You gently shake her awake when the taxi stops.
"Hmm?"
"We're at your dorm."
"No..." She whines cutely. "I want to go to oppa's place!"
"No, you are going home and resting, your unnies will take care of you. Come on!" You half drag her out of the taxi after paying the fare, and she clings on to you the whole time as you drag her to her dorm. You knock on the door.
Jinsol looks up at you as you wait. "Oppa what do you think of-"
"Oh my god Jinsol!" The door opens to one of her shocked unnies, who quickly grabs Jinsol and passes her off to the other members. "Thank you so much for bringing her here, you must be her brother? It's nice to meet you, I'm Sooyoung!" She was extremely pretty even with little makeup on, as far as you could tell.
"A-ah no, I'm her brother's friend, he had something to take care of and had me do it for him." You quickly pass her Jinsol's belongings. "Here, her stuff before I forget."
"Okay, well it's nice to meet you, and thank you so much!"
"Likewise, have a good night!" You bow politely and head off, hearing a bunch of voices chattering as the door closes.
You don't really think much about the encounter, until a week later. You heard Loona were doing a performance in a mall, so you drop by to see it. You were surprised to see a bunch of their fans already near the front of the stage, and decide to stand far in the back and to the side. They come on stage, and Jinsol looked even more stunning on stage than she did in the restaurant. You figure it was the stage makeup, but still, you couldn't take your eyes off her. You force yourself to look at the group, and thoroughly enjoyed their performance of...  "Voice", or was it "Star"? You didn't catch what they said.
Regardless, the formations were tight and the singing was great too. As the song ends you find yourself clapping with their fans, cheering them on. Somehow you catch Jinsol's eye, and her bright expression lights up just that one lumen more. She fires finger hearts straight at you, and you play along, clutching your heart and pretending to fall backwards. She finishes up with their comments and the crowd begins to disperse save for a few dedicated fans.
"You came!" Jinsol squeals as she pulls you around backstage.
"Whoa y-yeah, I was in the area, heard you were performing."
"Oh hi!" Sooyoung greets you with a nod and a smile. "Good to see you again, thanks for coming to watch us!"
"Yes nice to meet you again, I was just in the area." You try to play it off coolly.
"Oh, is this the oppa you were always-" A lazy voice gets interrupted by Jinsol, who covers it with her hand.
"I'm sorry?"
"Nothing! Ignore Hyejoo."
"Sure, well I got to go, great job today!"
"You can't stay longer?"
"I'm sure you're busy, you should get some rest." You pat her head. "Bye!"
You miss Jinsol's sad look and pout as you walk away from them. Jinsol floats through your mind occasionally throughout the week, and you find yourself watching a fancam or two of her, but you always shake your head and dispel thoughts of her - she was your friend’s sister, no more, no less. Another week has passed when you hear a knock on your door.
"Who is it?"
"Oppa, it's me Jinsol!"
"Jinsol?" You quickly pause your game and go to the door. When you open it you find her looking up at you happily.
"Hi oppa!"
"Hey! Why are you here? How did you find my place?"
"My brother said you had some books for him or something? I offered to come pick them up for him!"
"Oh that's nice, he makes an idol run his errands eh? They're in my room, I'll go get them. Come in, do you want some water?" Jinsol nods and you get her some water.
You let her into your room. "I put them in the bag, do you have a list? I'm pretty sure I got all of them in there."
"Yes, I think so, let me take a look." You nod and go back to your game. You're so focused on your game, you almost forgot that Jinsol was there. As you die again in game, you call out to her. "Is it all in there?"
"Oppa..."
"Something missing?" You turn around, only to feel Jinsol's lips on yours. Her scent fills your senses, and all you can think of is the softness of her lips, and how they give and squish as you suck on her lower lip, making her whine, which snaps you out of it. You back off from her, creating distance. "W-what are you doing!"
Tumblr media
"Oppa I like you..." She tries to get close to you again, but you stand up and back away from her.
"Wait, you're an idol you can't be doing this!"
"I don't care, I can't get you out of my head. I told my brother I’d come pick the books up just to see you." She walks forward, forcing you back until you sit on the edge of your bed.
"We shouldn’t, you're his-" As if knowing what you were going to say, Jinsol interrupts you.
"Oppa, don't you see me as a woman?" She slips her top off. She takes your stunned silence as a sign to continue, her shorts sliding down her long legs. "What about now..." Your mouth hangs open dumbly as her bra drops off her body, and her panties join her shorts on the floor. Your body reacts to the sight of her naked form before your mind does, and she smiles at your suddenly tight pants as she gets on your lap.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"J-Jinsol, this is crazy, you-" Your hands go to her hips, but she stops you again by biting your lip, giving you a small sting.
"If you push me off now, I will leave and this never happened... and I will never speak to you again." You gasp as she digs her nails into your arms, as if she wants to cling on to you. "Please don't push me away."
"Jinsol..." Her name leaves your lips breathlessly. You tighten your grip on her hips, and for a brief moment her heart nearly breaks, thinking that you were pushing her off you, but instead you lift her and pull her closer to your body, feeling her heat against you. "Are you sure?"
She answers you with a hungry kiss, a smile on her lips even as she kisses you. With her weight on you the two of you fall on the bed, Jinsol's long black hair tickling you as she looks down at you joyfully.
"I'm so happy, thank you oppa!" She tugs on your t-shirt, and you pull it off you. She unconsciously licks her lip as she takes in your naked upper body. You take charge, rolling her on her back and capturing her lips before sucking on her neck. "A-ah... don't leave a mark." You oblige her, planting fleeting kisses that leave her wanting more instead. One hand wraps around her, pulling her against you - the other squeezes her breast, making her whimper. Your hand goes down her body, finger-walking down her abs, feeling her tremble under you. Jinsol tenses in your arms as you get closer between her legs, and you look at her with uncertainty.
"Are you sure? W-we can still stop." You barely manage to speak, your voice seeming to fail you. Her hand covers yours, pulling you further towards her, and your, goal. She freezes briefly before forcing herself to relax when you touch her between her legs - your fingers are instantly coated with her wetness.
"Please... take care of me." Comes her hushed reply, her eyes now clouded with desire, needing you to touch her. So you do so, dipping your fingers into her dripping heat. The cry that leaves her heightens your arousal even further, a cry that tells you she is getting everything she wanted, and more. You pull your fingers back before slipping them in again, over and over you begin repeating the motion, wanting her to feel good, better than ever before. Jinsol's body moves with a mind of its own, her hips bucking and moving in time with your hand, a cry or a gasp leaving her lips every time you reach deep inside her. She tries to cover her mouth with her free arm, apparently embarrassed by the sounds she can't help but make, but you pull it away.
"Don't, I want to hear you feel good." You feel her tighten around you at your bluntness. She clamps down further when you add another finger. You watch with satisfaction as Jinsol slowly begins to lose control of herself, her body twitching and responding to every movement you make in her. Melodic moans fill the room as you rake your fingers over her walls - gently at first, then more firmly and roughly, building up her pleasure. Then you begin grinding your palm against her, sending her spiraling into bliss, her moans now less melodic and more desperate for release.
"Oppa!" She looks at you with her gorgeous round eyes, pleading for you to go just that little bit harder, and you force her eyes shut with a few quick pumps. Jinsol's breaths becomes erratic, her moans coming in short rapid bursts as her body forgets to breathe, consumed by overwhelming pleasure in her climax. You watch her toes curl and her fingers twist your bedsheets beautifully, her entire being falling to pieces by your hand.
"That was..." Jinsol tries to find the words for her happiness, but she fails to do so, settling for pulling you in for a kiss of pure joy. The two of you roll around in the sheets, coming to a stop when you find her on top of you. "I want you oppa, I want you in me." She says, just as bluntly as you were earlier, and you strain your pants even further.
"Jinsol wait!" She ignores you, working your pants and boxers off, your erection finally springing free. With barely a look she takes you in her hand, adjusting herself, already ready to sink herself on you. You have one last chance to retain some sanity.
"Jinsol wait!" She pauses and looks at you this time. "There's no going back after this-" Her lips are smashed against yours in an instant, wiping away any doubt. She breaks the kiss, her eyes shining with an impossible mix of joy and lust.
"I know, I need you in me..." You feel her heat scalding your tip, just before both of you throw your head back as she begins descending on your shaft. The two of you indulge in the sensations flowing through your bodies, Jinsol continuing to sink down on you, until finally, she rests on your lap. As if drained of strength already she collapses on you, her arms wrapping around your neck.
"I feel so full..." Jinsol grinds her hips, the slight movement making her squeal in pleasure. "I'm going to move now." And move she does, her body working to chase the pleasure that you are bringing her - you throb inside her upon hearing every heavenly moan leaving her lips. She tries to sit up, but manages only one bounce before hugging you again, unable to deal with the electricity flowing through her. Jinsol tries her best, working her hips up and down, her walls dragging over you silkily. But you hear her ragged breaths, and feel the sweat gathering on her body pressed on top of yours.
"Are you tired?" You mumble in her ear. "I can be on top."
"N-no! I want to move too..." She whines. She tries to stay on top of you, but you overpower her easily, letting her face you as the two of you lay side-by-side on the bed.
"Let’s do this then." You pull her flush against your body, your hips shifting subtly and grinding into her, pulling a moan from her throat. "You can move too." She does so, making you moan roughly into her ear.
"Did you like that oppa?" Jinsol repeats her movement, and she gets your answer in the form of another groan. The two of you slowly tumble into bliss, your hips moving smoothly and in time with one another, making you grind deep in her again and again, a pleasure you never wanted to end.
"You stretch me out so well oppa... Oh my god I want to do this with you everyday, can we oppa? What am I going to do without you in me..." Jinsol melts into a blabbering puddle of happiness as you stir your shaft inside her, but her words only serve to turn you on further, her unintended dirty talk making you throb more inside her.
"J-Jinsol..!" You gasp through gritted teeth, imploring her to stop.
"What was that oppa? I can't think right now, you fill me up so good- oh you went so deep in me again, are you getting bigger? Please don't stop, don't stop don't stop don't-" The last word fails her as her orgasm overrides her mental functions, instead releasing a rapid flow of sharp moans right into your ear, burrowing into your very core. In her orgasmic haze she wraps a leg around you, trapping you in her - you can't resist the pleasure anymore and your world goes white, only able to feel her body breathing heavily against you. You buck your hips into her, pouring your seed into her depths, filling her completely.
"You feel so warm in me..." Are the first words you hear when the buzzing in your head stops. Your eyes finally open, and you find yourself looking right into her large shining orbs. You draw close to her, kissing her intimately, your tongue exploring her mouth greedily, as if trying to make up for lost time. Jinsol lays limp in your arms, allowing you to have your way with her mouth and body, your hands roving and exploring her fully for the first time. When you finally break the kiss, you realize that Jinsol will never fail to stun you.
"I want to do it again." Her hands go to your crotch, but she's surprised at what she finds there. "Oh! Sooyoung unnie says it usually takes guys a while to get... ready again."
"That's how much I want to do it again too." You look down at the mess between her thighs. "Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Jinsol interrupts you with a kiss.
"I'm safe today, don't worry, let's do it again!" Her enthusiasm drives you half-mad with desire, and you push her face down on the bed, the view of her from behind is exquisite, her figure perfectly toned and fit from countless hours of dancing. The view of your work between her legs makes you go completely mad for her, you can't help but stare at her, wondering how things happened this way.
"O-oppa?" Jinsol asks uncertainly, looking back at you. "What are you doing?"
You quickly break out of your trance, pressing yourself down over her, making her feel your need against her lower back.
"Sorry, you look so beautiful, I can't believe I'm seeing you like this."
"Y-you can see me like this everyday." Her lipbite makes it even more alluring, and she doesn't seem to realize she is doing it. You drive a moan out of Jinsoul as you slide into her from above.
"You can't just say that, you're making me go crazy for you." You growl into her ear, your hips driving down on her. She feels even tighter in this position, and you can't help but add more power to your thrusts.
"Yes me too, p-please go crazy on me!" You pound into Jinsol from above - you were afraid you might be too rough with her, but her cries and the feeling of her velvet muscles clenching around you let you know that she is enjoying herself just as much as you are. The two of you fully give in to your wanton desires of the flesh, giving and receiving the most simplest act of coupling. Your harsh moans and her delightful cries echo in the room, contrasting vividly with the lewd sound of skin clapping on skin. You press your chest on her back, continuing to work your shaft deep inside her, feeling your release build up more and more. Jinsol twists her head back, trying to see you - you give her what she wants, leaning down and engaging her in a kiss once more. She breaks the kiss to look at you, her eyes unfocused.
"F-fill me again!" Those are her last words before she shuts her eyes and releases a strangled cry of utter ecstasy. With a grunt you latch yourself on her neck, leaving your mark on her as you leave your mark inside her. A second load bursts from your tip, replacing whatever might have leaked out of her earlier with fresh cream. Jinsol's legs thrash against you and the bed as her walls convulse and compress around your length like a warm blanket, making you pump every last drop of passion you had into her. She whines with every thrust of your hips, only going quiet when you are completely spent.
You find yourself with a face full of her hair, having nearly blacked out when you came. Jinsol turns her head when she feels you move, her lips sticking out, asking for another kiss, which you happily give, the two of you sharing an intimate moment, your desires, both wanton and emotional, fully satisfied. You try to get off her, but she places a hand over yours.
"No don't get up, I just want to stay like this, you feel so warm..." She nuzzles happily in your neck, sweat and all. Both of you shiver in sensitivity when you slip out of her, your fluids mixing inside her and leaking on to the bed.
Eventually, sadly, the two of you get up off the bed. "I have to go..." Jinsol whines softly. "Sorry about the mess."
"I'll take care of it. Will you be okay? Sorry I left a mark..." You gesture to her neck.
"It's okay, I can cover it with makeup."
You grab her hand. "What happens to us now? You're an idol, and-" She shushes you with a kiss.
"I need to hear it from you first, do you like me oppa?"
You hug her tightly. "Yes, a hundred times yes."
"Then we keep it a secret, I won't tell my company, and you definitely don't tell my brother."
"Agreed."
Jinsol quickly gets dressed, making sure to take the bag of books with her as well.
You give her your number. "Call me when you get home."
"I will." She grabs your hands in hers, clearly reluctant to let go. "I don't think I can come over tomorrow."
"I know. We'll find another time, and we should go on an actual date."
"Really?" She lights up at the thought. "Yes we should plan a date, I'll let you know what I come up with!" She cheekily tiptoes to whisper in your ear. "You can look forward to what I wear... for after the date."
You peck her on the cheek while naughtily grabbing her butt, making her yelp. "I will."
Jinsol basically bounces away from you, skipping as she goes, she turns around to wave at you, blowing you a kiss, and just like during the performance, you play along, pretending to catch her kiss and blowing one back. With a radiant smile she turns around and heads back to her dorms.
Later that night you receive a call from her.
"Hey!"
"Oppa! I miss you already!" She whines. "I've been thinking, first we gotta decide what we want to eat for our date, what do you think?"
"I agree, what would you like?"
"I don't know, I like ddakbal or ddeokbokki, but that's not really date food..."
"If you like it, then it's date food, bring me to your favorite spot."
"Really? Yay!" Suddenly you hear another voice, the same voice you heard before, Hyejoo was it?
"Date? Hey Jinsol unnie's going out on a date with that oppa she can't shut up about!" You hear her calling out to the rest of the dorm.
"What?!" You can hear their shock even through the phone.
"Sorry oppa I'll call you next time! Hyejoo you-"
So much for keeping it a secret.
A/N: She’s so pretty, I completely overlooked her (and loona in general) when she had blonde hair, she looks gorgeous with just simple long black hair. I definitely confused her with Hyunjin several times, but I’ve finally memorized their names! Her eyes are mesmerizing, I just had to write one for her, thank you for reading!

You’re Mine [Eli Hawk Moskowitz x Reader]
Requests: 1. there’s a new girl on miyagi-do, she’s classmates with sam, hawk, miguel, tory, robby, demetri, etc... for some reason, she and hawk didn’t like each other (he can be on cobra kai or eagle fangs, that’s your choice), and one day they make a bet, which this girl wins. hawk has to be her slave for a whole week. BONUS IDEA: a stolen kiss during a fight. maybe admitting feelings for each other? i’d love that! ( @berriewrites​ ) 2. love the hawk smut but i’d also love some fluffy hawk about him secretly liking the reader who’s in miyagido but he tries to act all tough and hide it (anon) 3. AHHH CAN WE GET SOME HAWK FLUFF!? I love the idea where you swear that you don’t like him and you guys make eye contact from a distance when he’s standing with his friend group and you’re standing with yours and you get flustered and he can tell and he smirks and just ahh (anon)
A/N: this took so longggg this came out longer than expected (and honestly i could go on, but i wanted to get this out already) + real life has come hitting all at once and its been overwhelming lol. thanks for being patient and sticking around <3 i enjoyed writing some fluff (amidst a flurry of smut reuests loool :)
Words: 2981
Warnings: none
Read this on AO3
Summary: You don't like Hawk. He's a bad person, that much you know for sure. You're ready to make his life miserable when he loses a bet with you, but then you actually have to spend time with him...
Tumblr media
   You didn't like this.
Forgiveness seemed to be a virtue that evaded you. Eagle-fang and Miagi-Do were uniting and everyone seemed to be all for the union – except for you.
Some things were simply unforgivable. For you, Hawk breaking Demetri's arm was one of them.
You and Demetri became nearly inseparable friends when you both joined Miagi-Do. He had told you all about his former friend Eli and how he'd abandoned him in the favor of bullying him in any way he could come up with; that bullying taking a turn to the extreme when Hawk took to breaking bones.
    Demetri had since forgiven him, but you hadn't.
Demetri had a softer heart than he let on, and he missed Eli terribly, so when the latter suggested they work together he gladly accepted.
But you were more objective about the situation, as you weren't a part of it, and forgiving such cruelty was beyond you.
    The one good thing about the dojos coming together was the intense dedication that grew on everyone. Now that you had a common enemy, many participants would hang around in Miyagi-Do's dojo long after training sessions, training until you could hardly move your limbs.
     The sun had ago long fallen when you and the remaining students took places around a mat, ready for the sparring session to begin.
With Daniel and Sensei Lawrence gone, you had taken to writing down names and pulling them out of a bowl to decide on sparring partners.
    All the negative emotions you felt channeled in to great excitement when Miguel called your name – followed by Hawk's.
You could have sworn you saw a look of something you couldn't read – concern, perhaps, or fear? Before he seemed to share your excitement as he stepped on to the mat with a grin that was almost predatory.
    Two could play at that game.
    “You're as good as dead,” you said, your voice dripping venom. Hawk's smirk just grew.
    “Is that so, princess? I'd like to see you score as much as a point.”
A light bulb lit in your mind.
    “Yeah?” you taunted. “What if I get three?”
Hawk laughed. “You got a lot of confidence, don't you? I'll tell you what. If you can score three points on me and win, I'll...” He bit his lip as he thought. “I'll let you boss me around for a week. Whatever you want.”
The blood rushed through your veins, ready more than ever to fight. You were grateful for the lack of your sensei, knowing this nonsense wouldn't stand if he were here.
    “Deal.”
    “Are you guys done?” Miguel huffed, standing between you two, ready to referee. “Good. Bow.”
    You bowed without intent and got straight to attacking. Hawk didn't expect it; he came from the dojo that prides itself on strike first and yours cared mainly about defense. You earned your first point within seconds.
    That only served to throw Hawk off his game further. He dived in right away for the attack and was caught unprepared when you fell, sweeping his leg.
    You earned your second point.
By that point, Hawk might as well have been fuming out the ears. His brows furrowed in anger as he looked at you like you were the most vile thing he had ever seen; that satisfied something within you.
    The flurry of hits and misses was so rapid you were caught unprepared when you managed to land a punch on Hawk, Miguel's voice rising as he named you victor.
    Hawk huffed, clearly exerted. You smiled. “You're mine.”
You were fully intending to use this bet to its full potential.
The next day was Saturday, and Hawk, true to his word, showed up at your doorstep at 9 p.m sharp, just as you had ordered.
You paid him no kindness when you opened the door, not exchanging a word with him before demanding: “Helmet?”
Hawk handed you a helmet, not looking particularly pleased about the situation but not being able to stop himself from taking in an eyeful of you anyway.
You needed a ride to tonight's party – that's where Hawk came in, beginning his work for you as a personal valet. Accordingly for the event, you were dressed meticulously, showing off your best features – and if you were to judge by Hawks reaction, you were on your way to turn heads.
You climbed on the motorcycle after him, circling your arms around him loosely; but when he kicked off and started the ride, you couldn't help but tighten your hold.
    The party was overcrowded with people from the moment you got there; Yasmine's parties tended to get a bit... excessive.
You ditched Hawk the moment you got sight of your friends, ditching the helmet on his bike to run over to Sam, Moon and Yasmine.
Yasmine didn't hide the dirty look she sent at Hawk. “Ew. Who's the freak?”
You grinned proudly. “My valet. Ignore him. Actually...”
You looked over to the drinks table; someone had tapped a keg and it was being swarmed with people.
    “Hey, Hawk!”
Hawk turned to you, the slightest furrow in his brow as he had already joined his own friends. You pointed at the drinks table. “Vodka soda!” you ordered.
He rolled his eyes, but did it anyway. Your friends watched wide-eyed as he obeyed you wordlessly, bringing over the drink. “Anything else, princess?”
    “Yes,” you gave him a judging once-over. “Don't drink tonight. I want to get home in one piece.”
He bit his cheeks and glared at you before growling “Fine” and returning to his friends.
At some point you didn't even want a drink any more, it was just fun ordering Hawk to go fetch you another one; and so, you found yourself unintentionally drunk, laughing mindlessly at anything said and swaying on your feet.
You didn't even know how late it had gotten when Hawk came in the living room looking for you, ready to go home as most the others already had.
You had earlier made him promise to take you home as well, and – something you were quickly learning was, Hawk was definitely a man of his word. He spotted you half-sprawled on the couch, laughing with Yasmine at something you didn't fully register. Your cup was askew in your hand, contents about to spill over when Hawk grabbed it out of your hand, placing it on a table nearby.
    “Come on, Y/n. It's time to go.”
    “Not yet!” you grinned gleefully, taking hold of his wrist and shaking it dumbly as you spoke. “Later! We're having fun!”
Hawk placed his free hand on yours that held him. “It's four AM, Y/n, time to call it a night.”
    You didn't reply, instead resorting to pouting like a child.
His eyes softened (the puppy eyes never failed to work) – but his jaw clenched. “If you don't come now I'm leaving you here.”
    “Fine!” you hurriedly rose to your feet, using Hawk for balance. “Bye,” you pouted at Yasmine childishly as Hawk pulled you away from her and out of the house.
The sudden quiet of the outside was nearly overwhelming, Hawk's voice sounding too loud for you. “How am I supposed to get you home when you're this drunk?”
    “I'm not drunk,” you answered instinctively, knowing that you very well were.
    “If you can make it to the bike in a straight line, I'll believe you.” You look at his bike, ten feet ahead. You decide to keep holding on to him. “That's what I thought. Listen. You gotta stay awake, okay? I can't have you falling off in the middle of the road, or making me sway, because then we're both dead. Got it?”
    “Dead. Got it.”
Hawk didn't look convinced, but placed a helmet on you and buckled it anyway.
It was about ten minutes in to the ride when Hawk pulled over. He turned to you, his voice as serious as he could make it; you simply smiled, somewhat dazed. “This isn't going to work.”
    “Hm?”
    “Y/n!” Hawk called, trying to wake you up a little. “Don't fall asleep!”
    “Yes, sensei.” you slurred. Had you been any more awake, you might have noticed the way Hawk's eyes widened at that.
Hawk had to refocus himself to go on. “I'm serious. Look... My house is closer than yours. You can sleep it off at mine, and I'll take you wherever tomorrow. Okay?”
    “Okay,” you shrugged, your mind not caring about much other than regaining the warmth of Hawk's body pressed against yours.
Minutes later you pulled up at an unfamiliar house. Hawk unbuckled your helmet and set it aside, helping you off the bike and guiding you inside, motioning Shhh as he led you through the corridor of his darkened house until you reached his room.
The most natural thing for you to do the moment you saw a bed was to collapse on it. In the seconds Hawk turned his back on you to find you Pj's to wear, you had fallen asleep.
    Looking at you on his bed, Hawk exhaled heavily. He was very aware of your hatred of him; what he couldn't understand was, if everyone else forgave him, why not you?
It certainly didn't help that you looked the way you do, that you were talented, and that everyone loved you.
So Hawk undid your shoes and pulled them off, laying a blanket on you before leaving you to sleep.
    You woke up groggy, somewhat hungover and in a strangers room; an interesting start to the day.
You didn't really want to leave the comfort of your lonesome in the room but it was clear you would have to face the music at some point, so you womaned up and left the room.
Following the smell of food cooking, you walk down a hallway to find a red-haired man in the kitchen, his tattooed back to you, muscles flexing as he flipped a pancake.
With his hair down, it took you a moment to register who you're seeing; who's bed you spent the night in.
    Hawk.
Your first instinct was to groan, to cower in to yourself in regret; but then you remember how tenderly he treated you the night prior, making sure you got safely to a bed, letting you have his bed.
You swallowed your pride and stepped in to the kitchen. “Morning.”
Hawk's shoulders jumped in fright as you startled him; you couldn't help but giggle. He quickly rightened himself, straightening his back and flexing his abs as he turned to you.
    He was good looking and he knew it. You hated him.
However, you felt your power returning to you as he couldn't help but look you up and down, your disheveled clothes revealing a bit more than they had the night before. Hawk inhaled sharply, reminding himself of who he was, how he was supposed to act: unfazed.
    “Bout time you got up.”
You frowned, looking at the kitchen clock. “What do you mean about time? It isn't even noon yet.”
    “Yeah, well,” Hawk flipped a pancake on to a nearby plate. “You wanted me to take you to the mall today, right? I have practice later, so it's gotta be now.” The Eagle-fangs were holding weekend practices of their own, something you weren't a fan of.
    “Jeez, fine,” you sneered, allowing yourself to sit at the kitchen table. Amidst the chaos that was waking up in Hawks bed, you had totally forgot you previously asked him to take you out today. Yasmine's parents were making her take tutoring lessons, Moon was doing some spiritual healing thing and Sam was with Miguel, so you were left all alone – but you certainly didn't intend on spending Sunday at home, doing nothing.
    Hawk finally shut off the burner and joined you at the table with a stack of pancakes and two plates in tow. “Eat away your hangover. I'm not gonna hold your hair up if you hurl.”
Breakfast with Hawk ended up being a surprisingly civil affair; so was shopping. There was something exciting about dragging him along after you, shop after shop, having him carry your bags and modeling clothes for him. And honestly, you were loving the effect you had on him. You knew he was trying to hide it, but you could see the way he grew antsy when you tried on bikinis. You loved teasing him, knowing he couldn't have you.
    What also didn't hurt was the way you two turned heads walking down streets together. You were undeniably gorgeous, and he... While at first you thought it was the bright red mohawk that grabbed peoples eyes, after a close inspection you couldn't deny he had fair features, too. You had to look away whenever he tensed his jaw, accentuating his jawline, or if God forbid he smiled, you had to deny the way his smile made your stomach knot up.
    As though to top off the experience of him, by the time you finished shopping, Hawk would have been late if he was to take you home, so you suggested he take you to practice with him and just take you home once he was finished. And oh my... You did not need to see him fighting. Having a whole hour to see his biceps flexing as the threw punches was doing you no favors; when you were both practicing you were too busy with yourself to notice him, but right then you had a whole hour to do nothing but stare.
At the end of the practice you rose when Hawk approached you, ready to go. When his sensei understood you were waiting there for him, he asked Hawk, “Yours?”
Hawk didn't answer; he merely smirked that Hawk smirk of his. His sensei nodded proudly. “Nice.” Creep.
You had a couple more days to squeeze the most you could out of your bet, and by all means were you planning on using them.
Hawk was taking you to school and home every day on the back of his bike – to Miyagi-do, too. It became a regular thing to see you two together, and if anyone was expecting you, they expected Hawk, too.
Just as the previous mornings, you and Hawk walked in to school together. Seeing your friends, you bid him goodbye and went to join them, your eyes lingering on him a bit too long as he said hello to Miguel.
Yasmine's jaw dropped as she looked at you, her expression scandalized. “What?” you asked.
    “You're totally in to the freak!”
    “What? No,” you denied – but even as the words left your mouth, you could hear your lack of conviction. “No.”
You looked back to where Hawk and Miguel stood; this time, he caught your eye. Then, with total audacity, he winked at you.
You felt heat rush through your body.
The smirk that grew on him suggested he knew exactly what he was doing to you.
    You hated it.
Deciding to put an end to this madness, you wordlessly leave your friends and march up to Hawk, a new rage running though you.
He stopped talking with Miguel when you reached him; Miguel visibly tensed at what he felt was a dangerous situation for him to be in.
    “Sidebar,” you ordered. Hawk smirked.
    “After you, princess.”
You hoped no one would notice when you lured him in to an empty classroom, but in all honesty, it was you and Hawk. There were always eyes on you two.
You turned to him once you were engulfed in the silence of the room. “Listen. I don't know what you're playing at, but cut it out. I own you, got it? Don't go winking at me in the hallway like I'm your girlfriend or something.”
You expected to see him cower, blush, show any sign of intimidation – but there was no such emotion. The smirk he wore only grew in confidence. “You sure about that?” he asked cheekily. “Because it seems to me like you'll find any excuse to be around me.”
You couldn't believe the audacity of this boy. You were stunted for words; he went on. “Be honest with yourself. Once the week is up, you'll still find reasons to talk to me.”
You bit your cheeks; you hated how he was right, how he read you so easily. “And look, I'm done playing this game too.”
Your stomach dropped. Was he about to reject you, without you even confessing? “I'm not playing with you,” you tried to say intimidatingly, but your voice came out too small for comfort.
    “Me neither. So...” Hawk looked down at you; you could have drowned in his ocean eyes. You averted your gaze to the side, crossing your arms.
    “Fine. We can call it off early.”
Hawk chuckled. You wanted to punch him. “You still don't get it, do you?”
You returned your eyes to Hawk, ready to chew him out when he placed his hands on your cheeks, pulling you to him for a kiss.
You could feel yourself melting in to the kiss, feeling a rush of adrenaline run through you as you finally got to experience what you didn't want to admit to yourself that you craved so deeply.
When he finally pulled away, he kept his hands on you, your noses nearly touching. “I've wanted to do that for a long time,” Hawk admitted.
You half-smiled. “It's only been a week.”
Hawk had burst in laughter, his thumbs caressing your cheeks. “You still don't get it.” Before you could protest his words, his lips met your once more.
    Maybe you could find it in you to forgive him, after all.

Just Friends
sooooo... I know I've said I don't write smut, but I will write *barely* sfw stuff if I'm in the mood :)
College AU because that's my current aesthetic lol. Not explicit but defo spicier than what I normally write
Ship: Tom Holland x Reader
Word Count: 2078
Warnings: light language, alcohol consumption, implied (consensual) sex
The music was loud with a deep bass, reverberating through your spine as you carried a half-drank solo cup of indiscriminate alcohol and red fruit punch.
"Tom. I'm not feeling it tonight," you basically yelled to your best friend, a proud member of the fraternity whose basement you were in. "This just doesn't hit like it used to."
You were both going into your senior year of college, having been friends ever since your freshman dorm rooms ended up right next to each others.
Now that you and your friends were all legal, going to the frathouse instead of a bar just seemed unnecessary. The only reason you were really there was because Tom and his best friend Harrison were officers and had to live in-house.
Tom had only had a couple beers within the past hour, trying to stay steady with you, though you weren't even experiencing a light buzz.
He wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you close to lean down to your ear.
"Whadd'ya want to do then?" he asked.
"Can we just go back to my place? We've got some alcohol in the apartment," you answered. He nodded. "Let's go find Emily first, make sure she doesn't want a ride, too."
You both made your way around, finally seeing your roommate and Harrison making out in one corner of the room, one hand holding a red solo cup and the other cupping his face.
You rolled your eyes and grabbed her shoulder, pulling them apart.
"Heeeeyyy. What are you two up to?" she asked, turning around and pressing her back up against the blonde who then wrapped both arms around her stomach, resting a chin on her shoulder.
"We're gonna go drink at the apartment, " you called, trying to get her to hear over the music. "Do you want to go in the uber with us?"
She shook her head.
"Nah, I think I'll stay here if Haz is cool with it."
"You know I'm always cool with you staying over," he added, spinning her around.
"Okay, well then you two know the drill," you started, "if you even think about taking advantage of her I'll-"
"You'll cut my dick off," he finished, "yeah, yeah, I know. I would never, I swear."
Harrison put a hand over his heart for good measure.
Your stern look turned to a grin.
"Alright you two, stay safe and all that jazz. See you tomorrow."
You were waving bye when Emily called out behind you,
"Don't forget to use condoms!"
You blushed like mad, and Tom did, too.
You were just friends, after all. Only friends.
Both of you went through the rest of the house in silence, going outside to wait for your driver. You crossed your arms in frustration over your chest.
"I can't believe Emily would try to embarrass us like that! She knows we're just friends! Now that whole party thinks we left to hook up."
"Come on, y/n. The music was too loud. If anyone heard it was like two other people and they're freshman. Who cares what they think?"
You laughed at his response as he squeezed your side again, trying to get you to loosen up and smile again. You couldn't help but comply as the driver pulled up.
Tom was hunched over looking through your fridge when you exited your bedroom, having already removed any makeup and changed into sweats.
He stood up when he heard you.
"What all do you want to- is that my shirt?"
You looked down, then shrugged.
"Huh. Guess so. You can have it back if you want it," you said, starting to pull up up over your sports bra when he stopped you.
"No, no. It's fine. Looks better on you anyways," he quipped, shutting the fridge door. You couldn't help but smile at that last comment as you pulled it back down. "Speaking of clothes of mine, do you still have my grey sweats?"
It wasn't long before he had changed as well, wearing the pants he'd left from the last time and one of your XL sweatshirts.
"Are you sure this sweatshirt isn't mine, too?" he asked, tugging on it.
"Since when do you wear oversized sweatshirts, Tom?"
He paused and looked up.
"Oh, right. Never. Thanks for washing these pants for me."
It wasn't a strange occurrence for Tom to spend the night at your apartment, usually to get out of the frat house every so often. He typically took the couch or your air mattress and kept some clothes in your closet.
He hit his hands together, then rubbed them.
"Now that we've got that out of the way. What shall we drink?"
You were originally just going to finish a bottle of wine as you watched "The Wedding Planner" together on the couch, but then Tom discovered the bottles of tequila and vodka in the freezer during the scene where Mary gets drunk.
"Come on, babe. We've gotta do at least one shot. It would be way more entertaining."
"I can't imagine that either of us needs to be drunk to find JLo and Matthew McConaughey entertaining, but fine," you replied, getting up to pull out the shot glasses from the cabinet.
"I shouldn't have told you to look for the ice cream," you lamented, causing him to laugh.
About 20 minutes after a shot each, you were both curled up on the couch together, the alcohol hitting as the story was beginning to wrap up.
You felt a little awkward watching the characters confess their love for each other as you were leaning on Tom's side, his arms caressing you.
But you were just friends, right?
Yeah, but your drunk brain couldn't ignore the flashing sign inside that seemed to scream "but you're also kinda into him!"
And it was right.
You'd had subtle feelings for him since probably sophomore year, after having playfully hated each other throughout freshman year.
You liked to blame that sentiment on the fact that your beds had been against the same wall and you could often hear each other doing just about everything.
"I just don't get how people weren't more mad at her going after an engaged man!" Tom said, snapping you from your thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. But I mean she did try to avoid him for a while, I guess," you replied, not quite slurring but your words coming out just a little but slow.
Tom switched on a random TV channel after credits started rolling and shifted a bit, still holding you tight.
"You doing okay?" he asked. You nodded.
"Yeah, I think I'm already coming down. You were kind of right, though. Drunk watching gave me a whole new perspective."
"Oh yeah? and what's that?"
You could feel the vibrations in his chest as he spoke, making you close your eyes sleepily.
"Hmm. I'm not actually sure."
He laughed at your response and then you both fell into a comfortable silence, both of you relishing in each other's warmth.
After a little bit, you sat up, rubbing your eyes and stretching.
"You good?" he asked again.
"Yep, just gonna run to the bathroom real quick."
You stood up, taking slow steps. Your thoughts were no longer clouded but your coordination wasn't quite there yet.
By the time you returned, Tom had gotten you some water glasses and returned to the couch. This time, you laid down so you could rest your head in his lap and look at your phone as he stroked your hair.
After a while of scrolling through social media and showing Tom the occasional picture, you closed the phone and set it on your chest.
You looked up and Tom and wondered aloud,
"What do you think Em and Haz are up to now?"
"Is that really a question? Smashing."
You snorted.
"Gosh those two don't know how to keep their hands off of each other. I can't believe it took them so long to figure out they were into each other. 'Just friends' my ass."
Tom gave an awkward chuckle of his own.
"Hey, that's our line."
You could feel the tension in that response, not sure how to respond as you continued to study Tom's face.
"We should probably start getting ready for bed," he suggested. "I can start blowing up the air mattress if you wanna go brush your teeth and stuff."
You had sat up but stopped him.
"Wait... will you... do you want to just sleep in my bed tonight?"
"What? Then where will you sleep? On the couch?"
You were a little stunned at his oblivious answer.
"I- what? No. I meant... do you want to share the bed with me? It's plenty big for two people."
He eyes widened.
"Oh... oh! Okay I get it now. Uh, sure. As long as you're sure. I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything."
"Tom, I mean it. I want you to," you plead.
You were eventually getting ready to crawl into bed when you faced Tom, sitting back against the mattress.
"Are you sure you want this?" he asked once again, making you grin. You reached up and pulled him into a hug.
"I promise, Tom. I really do."
You both pulled away just enough for your faces to be in front of each other, not even an inch apart. Your heart was racing, tension higher than ever between you.
It felt like forever staring at each other. You weren't really sure who moved first but suddenly your lips were crashing into each other's with a fiery passion, hands roaming each other's bodies for the first time like you were starved for touch.
Somehow you had flipped and made it onto the bed, you on top of Tom as you rode his leg.
It wasn't long before shirts were removed, too, and bare skin was against bare skin.
"Mmm... Where... um... condom?" Tom asked between kisses, both of you breathing heavily.
You paused and sat up, straddled over his hips, thinking. It had been a while since you'd needed one of those.
You slid off of him and went to the bathroom, reaching deep into the back of the sink cabinet, thankful to find that the box wasn't expired. When you stood up, you almost laughed at the way your face was flushed and hair unruly.
When you returned, Tom was sitting up looking at you, brows raised.
"So we really doing this?" he asked. You couldn't help but smile, thankful for his respectful nature.
"I am if you are."
It didn't take long to fall back onto the bed again, eventually tiring yourselves out and falling asleep pressed against one another.
You walked out of your bedroom, hair still wet from a shower, looking to make some coffee.
As the first mug brewed, Emily came through the door.
"Oh, hey!" she looked around. "Did Tom head back already? I must've missed him. I guess he slept on the couch since I don't see the air mattress anywhere."
You were unsure of how to answer, pausing as you leaned back against the counter.
Once you finally figured out something to say, you were interrupted by Tom opening the bedroom door. His own hair was also still wet, and he held your bedsheets in a clump in his arms.
"Hey y/n do you want me to stick these in with any clothes or- oh hey Emily," he said, not registering the situation as he passed by her to put the bundle in the washing machine.
Emily, on the other hand, was standing frozen in shock. She looked at you, pointing towards Tom, then back at you, a hand then reaching up to cover her mouth.
"Oh my... I- did you two..?" her fingers wiggled back and forth between you two. You couldn't help but blush. "Holy shit, you did!"
Tom turned and walked to you with a maniacal grin, standing in front you as he reached past your body to grab the filled coffee cup.
"It's definitely possible," he answered her, leaning down to press a kiss on top of one of the hickeys he'd left on your neck.
"Finally! 'Just friends' my ass," she said, unknowingly paralleling your own comment about her. She was about to open her mouth again when you cut her off this time.
"Yes, Em. We used condoms. Now tell me if I've got any dicks to cut off."
A/N: byeeee I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand I'm pretty proud of it but also this is nothing like how I am as a person or how I usually write so I'm definitely out of my comfort zone here haha
Hope you all enjoyed though! If you did please leave a like or reply or something! I have more one shots similar to this in mind if anyone wants more like it!
Thanks for reading!

So that story about Dionysus being the son of Persephone is awful and gross for like 10 different reasons but can we stop and just appreciate how amazingly they would get along? Like dionysus has mysterious chthonic connections on his own and both of them show evidence of being preceded by really old and dangerous figures and they both have rebirth themes and agricultural themes and I just keep imagining
(This isn’t for a fandom it’s just straight up Greek mythology btw)
———————————————————————
Styx: Yeah idk, I just... found him here?
Dionysus, after wandering into the underworld and passing out next to the river Styx, wearing dramatic grape vines, drunk as fuck, tired, entirely oblivious to anything ever, should be totally harmless but still has the faintest aura of the maddened screams of the dying and the roar of lions drifting around him: hnngh???
Persephone, tearing up: *gasps* new bestie!!!!
Styx: ??????
———————————————————————
Persephone, during their weekly visits, painting his nails: *sighs* it’s just.... so exhausting to be raised from the dead every year, y’know? Really fucks with my beauty routine. I love seeing my mom but being brought back to life is just a little tedious. Dying is like so much easier.
Dionysus, feeding Cerberus ghost pork chops under the table with his other hand: oh sweetheart I know. I’ve died and been reborn three times, did you know that? Exhausting. Every. Single. Time.
Persephone: omg dish!!!!
———————————————————————
Persephone, on the way to the fields of Elysian with Dionysus: I just don’t understand why you had to kill him! He was so close to reuniting with his wife... er- whatever her name was, but they were really cute and you know how I am about love stories I just... I’m so upset!!!
Dionysus, carrying Orpheus’s soul over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes: look, he was ruining my vibe, okay? I really value my vibe! That’s just how it is. Besides, he lost his chance to find her in the living world when he turned around and saw her. Now he gets to reunite with his lover.... dicey-universe or whatever her name was.
Orpheus, weakly: Eurydice, my beloved that I lost, oh how her beauty was- ack!
Dionysus, frowning, wacking Orpheus over his shoulder: hush, you. We’re almost there. If you start waxing poetic or singing about tragic love again I will throw you into Asphodel so fast-
Persephone: oh don’t pretend that you didn’t come down here to save your wife a long time ago.
Dionysus, scoffing: okay, but that’s different! I am allowed to be here. Ariadne just came down for a little visit, she wasn’t planning to stay dead!
Persephone: .....I’m not entirely sure you understand how death works, dionysus.
———————————————————————
Hades, sighing: honey I don’t want to limit your friend circle, it’s just that it’s dangerous for someone to traverse between realms like this!
Persephone: I’m telling you though, he is a death god!
Hades: darling I’m finding it hard to believe that the god of wine and partying is-
Dionysus, turning the corner, with his horns and thrysus and slit pupil eyes and leopard skin and somehow giving off ancient old god eldritch abomination energy despite wearing sunglasses and drinking a smoothie: ‘Sup fuckers.
Hades, backing away: dear fucking Kronos yeah that’s a death god, that’s a really old death, that’s an old as Tarterus death god, holy fucking shit okay have fun sweetie he’s free to hang out down here whenever he wants I’m going to go throw up have fun you two bye no way I’m fucking with this shit not today-
———————————————————————
(tw: people talking about sex)
Persephone: okay but you can’t have had sex with that many nymphs! I know those girls! Boroe, Khonoris, Nikaia, Methe, Pallene-
Dionysus, sighing: Okay, okay, it wasn’t that many nymphs and humans! Just... look, let’s stop talking about my love life and talk about yours, hmm? Like did you have any other romantic escapades other then Mr. Scary Pants here?
Persephone: hmmm.... well there was this one really cute guy that I hung out with for a while, Adonis. He was pretty great, honestly.
Dionysus: ooh, Adonis... I remember him, he was really cute- shit, sorry, I had a fling with him too but this isn’t about me, go on.
Persephone, rolling her eyes: ugh, of course you did. Anyway, he’s no use to me dead, and he got killed by Ares.
Dionysus: oof, Ares. Fate worse then death. Why was he killed by Ares?
Persephone: because he slept with Aphrodite, Ares really hates it when people sleep with his girlfriend.
Dionysus, reminiscing: oooohhh, Aphrodite. Now she was definitely something, I remember this one time we- why are you looking at me like that?
Persephone:
Persephone: you.
Persephone: you never told me you slept with aPHRODITE- *assorted sounds of screaming and crashing*
———————————————————————
Demeter, exasperated, during the summer months: oh by the Titans, you can’t seriously be telling me that you’re friends with Bacchus of all people.
Persephone: but why! He’s an agriculture god, you two should get along! Plus he’s not dangerous- ok, he’s a little dangerous, but like, not to me!
Demeter, sighing: sweetheart I assure you, it’s not about if he’s dangerous-
Dionysus, popping through a window, looking at Demeter: heeeyyyyy! yo, it’s Bread Basket, my favorite bestie!!! I’m doing real good at this domesticated planting thing, I’m a born natural at it hahaha!!! I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been taking really good care of the vineyards you helped me plant, absolutely no fires or villager beheadings so far! I promise no more screw ups- *glances behind him* oh my gods you stupid fucking satyr’s, that is the ONE plot of land that you’re not supposed to- Sorry Demi, gotta go good luck with the.... whatever it is you do, bye!!!
Persephone, staring in awe as Dionysus runs back to the fields and desperately tries to corrall the satyr’s in his cult that are munching on grape vines as the maenads cheer and throw sticks in the background: wow. I’ve never... ive never seen this side of him before.
Demeter, putting her head in her hands: yet another reason why I wish I had your luck, Kore.
———————————————————————
Dionysus, standing next to persephone, watching Psyche skip away with a box of beauty cream tucked under her arm: ....You know she’s gonna open that box.
Persephone: yep.
Dionysus: and that it’s going to kill her?
Persephone: yep.
Dionysus: and that doesn’t bother you?
Persephone, sighing: look, have a little faith in Eros. He’s a resourceful little shit, he’ll figure something out, and watching Aphrodite realize she’s been bested by her own son will taste like poetry. I can’t wait to see it.
Dionysus, whistling: damn gurl you hold a grudge.
Persephone, narrowing her eyes: only against Aphrodite. Only against Aphrodite.
———————————————————————
Dionysus: anyway I was *Baby Melinoe grabs his arm and he freezes* oh my god what is that
Persephone, laughing: that’s just my daughter, Dionysus. I think she likes you.
Dionysus: fuck. Oh gods. um- uhhhhh- what I do with it, I don’t know- I don’t know what to do with it-
Melinoe: *laughs*
Dionysus, sweating: oh no. Why did it make that sound? Did I break it? Is it- is it broken??? What am I supposed to do with this??? Is it okay????
Persephone: gods this is so going in the fucking scrapbook.
Melinoe: *latches onto Dionysus’s arm as he continues to panic*
Dionysus: persephone is it okay? Is it broken? Persephone I’m not kidding your husband honestly freaks me the fuck out I don’t wanna break your kid oh my gods
Persephone: she usually doesn’t like people she doesn’t know-
Melinoe: *starts to climb on him*
Dionysus: oh fuck, no no no what is it doing, Persephone I’m not kidding what is it doing, what is it doing Persephone get it off me oh my gods I’m not joking perSEPHONE-

Early stages
(Gif by @zhuzhubii​ )
*
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader
Summary: When Spencer starts dating someone, his work gets in the way, causing more problems than he thought it would.
Category: Fluff/ ~Angst
Warnings: Mentions of case, usual cm stuff, but mostly fluff
Requested by @definitelynotkatesblog​ (ily Katie!!)
A/N: Okay guys be ready, 'cause you're in a full ride for a fluff fic with baby Reid ;) I just fking love writing baby Reid, he's *screams internally* (you got the idea) anyway, enjoy!!!
Word count: 5.1k
Tumblr media
After shortly visiting his mother after he wasn't able to visit her for a week because of work, he had made his way back to the office, checking his watch that indicated him that it was 5:44PM as he left the building; the weather was quite comfortable when he had gotten outside.
His phone had run out of battery, resulting in hurrying back to the office in case he had been called for a case, as he was way too embarrassed to ask for someone's phone to call JJ. 
Spencer never was comfortable to talk with people, it had been a bit difficult to feel at ease with his colleagues at first, but eventually he got the hang of it, but in general, when he doesn't know people, it's a different thing. 
The first impression that they usually have when he begins rambling about things that come out of his head is that he's either weird, before he explains the "I can read 20 000 words per minute, I have an eidetic memory and an IQ of 187…" thing. 
They also freeze for a minute, trying to understand what he just said, for the simple reason that when he rambles about binary code for example, not everyone tends to understand the way he explains it when he uses the proper terms. 
As he was in a hurry, he didn't manage to get the time he needed for putting his stuff back in his satchel, so a few of the books he had originally taken from his apartment and the ones his mother had given him to read were in his arms. He just had to hope the books wouldn't end up on the floor because he'd stumble into someone on the way.
And a few seconds later, what he hadn't hoped for unfortunately happened.
He hadn't seen the girl who was running in front of him while he was in his thoughts. She seemed to be in a hurry from the way she was running.
He had managed to save a few books from falling to the ground, only two or three had fallen.
"Oh- I-I'm sorry! Let me help!" She had said, panicking.
"It's okay, don't...worry." He reached out his hands towards the girl's hand that was holding the two books, as he looked at her.
She was beautiful.
The kind of beautiful girl that takes your breath away.
It had taken him a few seconds to come back to reality after he had froze when he had seen her face.
"A-are you okay? I hope you...didn't get hurt."
"Don't worry! Everything's okay! I...uh, gotta go, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, have a great day!" She hurried out before running past him down the street.
He hadn't even gotten the time to ask for her name, she was already gone when he had glanced behind him. 
He had let out a sigh, before walking in the opposite way, in hopes to see her again, even if it wouldn't be soon, or never, if she wasn't from around.
*
For once, the beginning of the day had happened to be quite calm, everyone had managed to get more sleep and head to the office at eight o'clock instead of two in the morning.
Spencer had felt relieved about that, just a few days ago, the usual coffee shop he goes to and that happens to be closer to his apartment had reopened after the works that needed to be done were completed.
He didn't feel like drinking the coffee they had at the office, it wasn't horrible, but not as good at the one he usually drinks from the shop.
Before he had stepped inside, he had called Morgan to ask him and eventually the team if they wanted him to grab coffee.
It wasn't a serious thing that could go to the point of a real fight if he wouldn't ask them, but he'd get "lectured" by Morgan for a few minutes before he'd give up.
It only was a simple joke between the members, but Spencer didn't really go well with the joke stuff. 
After he had scribbled down the orders on a paper before hanging up, he stepped inside the shop, waiting in line behind someone.
"I can't join you guys tonight, sorry. I'm not sure that my boss would let me leave early….maybe on Thursday. Okay, yeah. It's gonna be my turn, I gotta go. Yeah, bye Sarah." 
He didn't mean to pay attention when she was talking on the phone, it happened before he even got the time to not do it, but the voice suddenly felt familiar.
'Where have I heard it?'
He searched for a bit in his mind, as the incident from a week ago popped up.
"Oh- I-I'm sorry! Let me help!"
"Don't worry! Everything's okay! I...uh, gotta go, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, have a great day!"
The girl from the other day.
'Was it really her?'
He had asked himself that, because completely different people can have the same voice, and as for her hair, different people can happen to look the same when you can only see their backs.
Spencer had immediately thought that it must have been fate that allowed him to see her again, but he couldn't rush too fast, he wasn't really sure that it was her.
It wasn't until she had stepped further towards the counter when it happened to be her turn to order; causing Spencer to step out of his bubble and step forward as well.
Deep inside him, he knew that it was her, he was sure, but his lack of social interaction made him create an excuse so that he wouldn't have to talk to her.
He didn't want her to think that he's weird because he'd ask for her name, and possibly her number if the conversation goes well, but he couldn't rush.
He still had to manage to place a word in order to initiate the conversation first.
If only.
When her order was done and handed to her after the payment had been given, she was on her way to the exit, suddenly stopping to take her bag from the side to the front before opening it, probably to look for something.
He didn't exactly know what went on in his mind at that moment; his brain must have sent a signal or something for him to move instead of watching her go.
He still doesn't know how he managed to place a word.
"Um...excuse me? I don't know if you remember me but we kinda...uh, talked, well uh...I, we ran into each other first, but don't worry, it was totally ok, you didn't...do anything bad, I- sorry, I'm rambling."
"No, it's okay! I remember you. I'm glad to know that, I was afraid I did something bad, you reassured me now. Thanks for asking me how I was...I'm sorry, what's your name?"
"It's Spencer R-Reid. I also uh...generally introduce myself by doctor, I'm not actually an MD, but I have three PhDs, but uh...since I'm not actually here for professional terms, I thought that doctor would have been too um...strict..? I…"
'You're rambling again Spencer, she looks even more confused now.' 
"Is Spencer fine then?"
"Y-yeah, it is. What should I...call you?"
"Oh, y/n is just fine." 
"Um...okay. Y/N," He paused, as he desperately tried to convince himself to ask her the question that had been in his mind since he had seen her. 
"I know all of this is sudden, because we barely know each other and I may seem kind of weird because of what I'm asking but, what about we uh...see each other later, hang out, you know?"
"Yeah, why not? I'm free tomorrow, what about 2PM, same place? You'll show me some of your books, I guess. I really liked the blue one you had, I can't remember the name."
"Oh, t-that one?." He said, rapidly taking it from his bag to show it to her as she nodded.
"That one, yeah, it really sounds interesting, will you tell me more about it tomorrow?"
"I will."
"Great! I can't wait, see you tomorrow."
"See you." He said, as he watched her making her way to the exit before disappearing in the corner of the street.
Well, turns out it wasn't as bad as he had imagined it would be in his head. At least that's one thing done. 
He couldn't wait for that day, and the next one to go by so that he could finally talk to her. He wanted to show her the book, answer her questions, give her information, he wanted to hear her voice, see her expressions. It had only taken just a glance to fall in love with her.
She might not feel the same way now, but even seeing her would be enough.
The excitement and waiting had been worth it when he had seen her again. He was already there for an hour, he didn't want to be late and made her wait at all. It never was his type to be late, especially if he's about to spend time with a person he likes.
She was wearing a beige cardigan along with a white top under it, and black jeans, tucked under her black shoes. He had noticed every single detail. 
Someone else would have probably found it weird and compared that behavior to a psychopath's; but he couldn't just give a single glance at her and stop looking, but eventually, he'd had to stop staring if he didn't want to scare her.
When he had begun talking with her, he understood what people meant when they felt like they knew someone for an eternity. 
Spencer had felt at ease when they talked, she'd listen to him, even if he noticed that she had understood half of what he had said, but still tried to somehow figure it out before he had explained, and kinda understood and didn't at the same time.
He had noticed that she'd put her thumb on her lips every time she was thoughtful.
He clearly had the behavior of a psychopath by picking up everything she'd do; but he couldn't help himself but look at her features, her manners, the way her hair bounced back and forth, the way her eyes lightened up when a subject she appreciated came up in the conversation.
In that moment, she was the only thing his mind was focused on. He hadn't even noticed that he had barely drunk the half of his cup that was now cold when he had put his hands on it. 
He was too mesmerized by her to notice it.
Who would have thought that the small genius of the office, the one that not a single member of the team would imagine he'd talk to a girl, would actually talking to one, plus, managed to be the one to initiate the conversation? That clearly seemed impossible until that day.
But even if it seemed unreal, she was here, in front of him. 
It wasn't a dream.
What made him think it was a dream was because y/n was way out of her league, if someone would see them together they'd probably ask themselves how he did to talk with a girl that beautiful, from his point of view.
If she hadn't talked when he had started blanking, none of them would have been able to talk. She seemed more confident, but he still had noticed her hesitance when she started her sentences, or didn't know if she could ask for an easier meaning of his rambling.
Even if the most nervous of the two was probably him, he had told her not to hesitate if she needed to ask a question about whatever he was saying.
The team had often made him know that he often was talking without explaining, which caused him to have to explain everything from the beginning with easier terms, instead of the proper ones that no one could even understand if they didn't actually know the meaning beforehand.
They haven't talked about work at all, they just forgot about it. To Spencer, they were like two teenagers hanging out in a coffee shop after school. 
They had talked about books, their music taste, even if the conversation had mainly been made by her as Spencer was more fond of books than music, so, the conversations about books had been started by him in general.
She knew some books, but she wasn't reading often, and had admitted that she didn't know many authors, which Spencer gladly helped by proposing a hundred of authors.
He had unconsciously ended up overwhelming her a bit after proposing ten authors in a row; she had to gently stop him to ask him to come back to some of the authors he had listed.
But, nonetheless, the free hour and the few minutes had gone smoothly, and way too fast. 
"Shit, it's already 3:20. Um...do you want to stay in touch?"
"You mean that you want my...number?"
"Yeah. Gimme your phone genius." She said, as Spencer had nervously taken in from his pocket to give it to her, as she entered her number, handing it back when she was done. "I've already sent a message so I know who it is. I really liked talking to you, that was nice."
"I-I liked it too. It's not everyday that I get to chat about books with someone else. I don't...really have a lot of people to talk it with."
"Well now you have someone. I would have told you to call me whenever you want, but I doubt my boss would like to see me on a call that's not related to work, so it would be in the evening, in case you want to talk."
"Same here. I'm pretty busy all day, but um...would you uh, like to hang out again sometime? I...it just crossed my mind, and I'd really like to hang out with you again. If you want, of course."
"Don't worry, it's okay. You know that I wouldn't dare to say no, I like to hang out with you too."
"So uh, if we can this week again, what do you say about two or six in the afternoon, tomorrow? I'll let you know if I can."
"You mean...like a date?"
"Yeah, I guess so?"
"Oh, a date it is then. I'll let you know too." She spontaneously answered, as she took her stuff and got up from her seat. "It sucks that we have to go, I wish we could have had more time, but unfortunately, we both work."
"Sucks, yeah. The hour went by fast." 
"It did. Way too fast." She let out a sigh, glancing at the door. "Well uh...see you later, I have to go n-now." She stuttered, as she waved at him before stepping out the shop.
"See you later y/n." 
And that was it, he definitely was head over heels with her. 
*
He suddenly found himself waking up in a start in the middle of a night when his phone began ringing.
It took him a few seconds to realize what was just happening, as he took the phone and answered before missing the call.
"What…? It's 4AM."
"Reid, it's Morgan, and yeah it's 4. We got a case so you gotta come."
"Seriously…? Okay, I'll be there in 15." 
"Got it. Don't be late." Morgan said, hanging up.
What an awesome way to start the day.
Just yesterday, he thought that his day would be calm, just for once. 
Well, he was wrong.
He grunted as he got up from the bed, before turning his lamp on in order to manage to see something instead of trying to find the light switch with the little light that was here.
It never took him a lot of time to get ready in the morning in general, he wasn't the type of person to linger when he'd get ready, he'd just go to the bathroom first to take a quick shower, taking his clothes in with him so he wouldn't have to search for them in his closet, he'll just have to dry up and put them on to save time.
Once he was done with the tasks he had in mind; he quickly checked that he had everything he'd needed, and proceeded to exit his apartment to make his way to work.
On his way, he had received a few messages to which he had answered, but accidentally went on y/n's contact.
'Shit.'
They were supposed to have a date today; and whether the case is nearby or in another state, he won't come back for at least more than a day, and probably won't have much time for the kind of chat they had the other day.
Well, that's another great way to start the day, because now he has to cancel a date he had been waiting for, and doesn't even know when they could set another day, or if it would even be possible at all.
The very least he could do, and the only one, would be to contact her to let her know.
Hopefully they'll be able to reschedule.
*
Turns out another killer decided to make the case longer, so turns out they had to reschedule once again.
He had messaged her earlier in the day before going in the jet, and the case happened to be longer than expected because they'd just discovered that another unsub could be involved. 
And as if it wasn't already bad, he was using the same m.o, but wasn't targeting the same type of victims, it totally was different. If he could say it that way, they just had 'another case'.
The week was going amazingly great, he wasn't even sure if the second rescheduling would even happen, no one could know of a case in advance, the only way for them to know was per a call. 
He would have to give her the same excuse every time.
She had kept sending messages as; 'it's okay.', 'don't worry', 'it's no big deal', but he couldn't figure out whether it truly didn't bother her, or if she pretended like it didn't bother her.
He didn't tell her what exactly his job was, so it really pained him to have to give the same excuse. She would probably start to wonder if he's not lying at some point later.
 Spencer really didn't want her to think he was making up excuses because he wants to avoid y/n, it's the opposite; he'd like to see her so bad, if he could just go and take the first plane to Quantico, he'd do it.
God, he hated that. It truly wasn't something he liked to do, especially to her in this situation. She really was nice, caring, attentive, an awesome person; he didn't like to put her in that situation at all.
He would have liked to have a second choice, but he didn't have any. He could only send her a message to let her know. He couldn't see her, but he couldn't bear imagining how disappointed she must have been.
His thoughts about what she must have been thinking were probably exaggerated after he thought of it. He could be worrying for nothing, and she could just be okay with it, as she told in her messages. He really hoped she didn't think he was avoiding her.
Let's hope they'll be able to reschedule.
*
"Again? God, is it ever gonna stop? I'm tired of it." Spencer slighted, he had to reschedule...again. 
"Trust me kid, everyone is. It's been a hell of a week we just had." Morgan answered Spencer, as he leaned back in his seat. "What got you so frustrated? You're not like that usually."
"What do you mean?"
"Come on kid, I can see that you have something on your mind. I would say that it was your mom, but even when you don't see her for a week, a call is enough for you to be calm. So...it is a girl?"
"What? No, it's not! I'm j-just frustrated, that's all! There's uh, nothing else."
"Then if there's 'nothing', why are you getting so nervous suddenly? You can tell me if you have a girl, we're like brothers Spencer."
"You know that you can really get annoying sometimes?"
"No. Probably because I'm not. Who do you think I am? I'm Derek Morgan, a funny and charming man." 
"Funny and charming, yeah. Clearly, the lack of sleep is seriously affecting your brain."
"I can assure you it isn't. Let me remind you that this whole conversation started because you didn't want to admit you had a girl."
"I don't have a girl, we just talk, we're not together."
"So you admit that you…sort of have one?"
"Fine, I kinda have one. But nothing serious is going on."
"I wouldn't have imagined that you'd manage to get a girl to talk to you one day."
"Why? Does everyone think I can't have a girlfriend here?"
"Mostly." Emily interrupted. "You can barely talk to girls in general. Well, it depends."
"What depends?"
"Lila Archer." Morgan answered.
"If you're talking about the kiss, she's the one who started!"
"And you kept going." Emily said.
"Okay- Where is the conversation going guys? I don't see any correspondence between the subject we were talking about and Lila." 
"If you say so, pretty boy."
"There's no 'if you say so.'. You're really annoying Derek. I'm gonna see if they need help in the other room. Bye." Spencer got up from his seat, waving at the two agents, before walking away.
*
Rescheduling.
Again.
He was sure that she was about to lose her patience at this point. 
And considering the amount of paperwork that would be waiting for him after the closure of the case, he began asking himself if they'd ever had a single minute one day.
He got out of the building, deciding to call her this time.
"Hello?"
"Uh, hi y/n, it's Spencer."
"Oh, do we have to reschedule again?"
"Yeah. Again."
"Spencer, is something wrong? It's been three times already."
"I know. It's just that….there's something I haven't told you." 
"And...what is it?"
"I...wasn't going to tell you at first, but...I work for the FBI."
"That's why? You could have told me, I wouldn't have been mad; but, if you didn't want us to see each other again, you could have let me know at least."
"Wait, no- I do want us to see each other again! I was just...really busy at the office, and I...didn't know how to tell you...that I work for the FBI. I didn't want to avoid you, not at all."
"It really is okay. I'm glad that you told me now. Thanks."
"I didn't want to lie to you anymore. I was already sad whenever I had to send you a message."
"I was a bit sad too, I really want to see you. Well, now that I know the reason why, call me again when you want to reschedule, it can be a real meeting, or just a call."
"I'm really gonna do my best, I swear y/n. I'll let you know as soon as possible." 
"I'll wait for your call then."
"Okay, uh...have a great day."
"You too." She said, as Spencer hung up, visibly looking irritated because of the situation.
*
The week had been surprisingly calm. 
Surprisingly, because by now, JJ would have come by to announce a new case, but she didn't. When everyone had seen her, she was walking calmly, not in a rush.
This was weird.
The past few days, when he'd finally think he could call y/n, JJ would burst in the office. But this time, she didn't. 
Today could really be a calm one. It could be. 
If he happened to have luck today, he could finally hang out with y/n. No more rescheduling. 
As everyone was either busy with paperwork, daydreaming, or doing something else, the office wasn't as noisy at it usually was. Only the sound of the doors, phones ringing and a few calm voices would eventually be heard by everyone.
The team's tasks had suddenly been interrupted by the voice of Rossi who stepped in the bureau.
"Guys, I was wondering, since we apparently don't have anything to do, what about a dinner party tonight, my place? Just thought about it." He asked, as a few sentences of agreement were soon heard. "And Reid, you're coming this time, don't you dare decline."
"I uh…plan to see someone. So, I don't really know."
"Then bring them to the party. I'm sure we'll like whoever you'll bring. It's all solved." Rossi clapped his hands together, turning to the other side when Emily had brought his attention.
'I guess it's happening then.'
He quietly got out of the bureau, walking in the direction of an empty conference room, closing the door behind him, before taking his phone from his pocket to dial a number he knew so well that he could type it with his eyes closed.
"Oh, hi Spencer, what's going on?"
"Are you free tonight? At um...8PM?"
"Yeah, I actually am. You know that I never have anything to do. Where do you want to go?"
"Actually, it's a surprise. I'll come to pick you up, uh…would it be too intrusive to ask for your adress?"
"No, not at all. This is wow...exciting. We'll finally get to see each other."
"Yeah, I know. It's been a while since we were supposed to see each other, but I swear, it's for real this time, I won't call you to cancel, only to let you know I'm coming."
"Well, don't forget to call then. I tend to overstress, so if I don't get a call, or even a text, I might explode."
"I'll call, don't worry. And, don't forget to send your address. I don't want to ask the tech analyst to spy on you."
"Alright, alright, I'll send it after the call, I promise. I have to go now, sorry. I'll see you at 8."
"I'll see you at 8. Bye." 
Holy. 
Spencer thought he might explode. His whole thoughts were full of excitement, he finally was about to see her after a week or rescheduling bullshit because of the work. 
All he had to hope for now was for the evening to go well; she didn’t knew any of the members, they didn’t know her as well, plus, Spencer didn’t really know if Morgan had let everyone know that he had met a girl, let’s hope not.
*
As he was about to go, he had took his phone out of his pocket to see the address, before noticing that she had forgotten to send him the address, nonetheless, he had to shortly call her so that y/n could indicate it to him.
He had drove to her place in just a few minutes, and couldn’t believe that she happened to live in a street he’d walk by often.
What a small world.
It almost was like they were meant to meet each other at some point; and fate reunited them. 
He knew that he had said it at least a billion times since he had first seen her, but she really was pretty. She had a black dress on, which was under a thin jacket of the same color, along with white heels, that weren’t too high.
Spencer had even wondered if she hadn’t put heels so that she could be a bit taller, and somehow manage to reach his height. He didn’t want to mention it to make her uncomfortable in case it happened to be what she wanted to do, but if it was that, he really found it cute, and quite funny.
The car ride had happened to be more entertaining that he thought it would be, the conversation simply started with a single talk about books, and a few minutes later, it was about plants. He really like to be capable to talk with someone that was at ease to talk about anything that’d cross his mind.
She didn’t seem to be uncomfortable, so that reassured him a lot, he stressed a lot about it.
God, he couldn’t believe that he actually was talking with her. He had already mentionned it when he had to reschedule again, but she was way too beautiful for him. She’d be able to freeze his mind with a single glance.
She truly was amazing.
“Spencer? Is everything okay? I think we just arrived, you stopped the car”
“What? Oh, I-I’m sorry, I got distracted. And y-yeah we just arrived.”
“That place is...huge.”
“Yeah, don’t worry, I thought that too the first time. You’ll quickly adjust to it, Rossi is really nice, you’ll feel at ease in no time. Come on, we should get going.” Spencer said, as they both opened the door that was on their respective side, before walking in the alley towards the door.
They soon were welcomed by a blonde girl after Spencer had rang the doorbell. She seemed a bit shocked of what was in front of her eyes.
“Oh my god, did you bring your girlfriend Spencer? I wasn’t aware of that.”
“Uh I...we are uh, just dating, for now, it’s uh-”
“We’re not together yet, we just talked, it’s our first date tonight.” Y/N had interrupted Spencer, as she could clearly see that he was struggling with forming a sentence.
“Oh, wow, it’s great! I’m happy to know that. I’m Penelope, by the way. You can call me Penny if you want. Come inside guys, I’ll introduce her to the rest of the team.” Penelope said, looking at Y/N, as she closed the door once they were in.
“There you are pretty boy! I see you brought the mystery girl with you. I’m Derek.”
“I’m y/n. It’s nice to meet everyone, I heard a lot about the team when I talked with Spencer.”
“I hope he didn’t tell bad things about us, we’re nothing but nice.”
“No, don’t worry, he didn’t.” She said, as she glanced behind his shoulder at the people walking towards them.
“We have a new face here apparently.” The brunette said.
“Yeah, I’m the new specimen. It’s nice to meet you, I’m y/n.”
“Nice to meet you too; I’m Emily, this is JJ, and the two guys over there are Rossi and Hotch.” Emily said, as she motioned the concerned people to y/n. 
“Everyone really seems nice.”
“Don’t worry, everyone is.” Spencer interrupted. “What do you say we uh...go over there so you can talk to others...?”
“Yeah, that’d be great.” She smiled,as she walked to the direction of the living room where the two men stood.
The evening had gone even more better than he thought it would. They all had been amazingly welcoming with her, and as he had noticed, they all had felt like they had known each other for more than just a few hours.
Spencer couldn’t truly wait to spend more time with her.

Hank Anderson X Reader - One Night Stand - Commission
Hey, @petitelepus​, thank you very much for commissioning me. I hope this is how you imagined it, and if there is anything you want changing, just message me and I will fix it til you find it perfect.
Commission request: Okay, how about Hank Anderson from Detroit Become Human with a notably younger woman. Like, he wakes up after a night filled with alcohol and finds Reader in his bed at morning. He thinks he took an android home with him because who young woman in their right sense of mind would go back to old man's like his place? Hilarity ensues when he tries to get rid of his one night mistake, but Reader shows genuine affection and attraction towards the older man. Maybe put Connor there somewhere too?
Warnings - None.

Hank groaned and rolled over onto his side, reaching to pull the covers over his head, as if that might mask the headache he had from the previous night’s drinking. Yet, instead of finding the quilt, his calloused hand brushed over noticeably softer skin. Groggily, he opened his eyes, finding himself opposite your sleeping form, half-spooning him.
He stared long and hard at you, trying to recall the events of the previous night, or even the last time he had come home with a one-night stand. Occasionally in his youth, he would strike lucky, but that hadn’t happened in years. He was a grumpy, old bastard, who had little charm, especially when drunk, so how had it come to pass that you were now in his bed? You were pretty enough to be an android; shit, had he paid for your services? It would make sense, after all, nobody young and good-looking would want to spend the night with an old fart like him. Then again, androids didn’t sleep, and Hank couldn’t see an LED, but it was possible that you were mimicking sleep as some androids did, and that you had removed your LED if that was the case.
Gingerly, Hank lifted your arm, removing it from his chest, so he could sneak out of bed. He looked down, finding a state of undress that only irked him further. Upon pulling on boxers and a shirt, he made his way to the kitchen, trying to keep every movement silent as he made a pot of coffee and tried to come up with a game-plan. He could just wake you and tell you to leave, no matter how harsh it was, but that could lead to you actually trying to talk to him, and he didn’t want that; he didn’t want anything to do with you. Maybe it would be better for him to leave the house and hope that you would take the hint to go back to wherever it was you came from, but then what if you stayed anyway? Hank tried to think of any other options that might help him, but if he couldn’t leave and didn’t want to stay, what else was there? He sat down at the breakfast table to think.
“Morning,” Connor beamed, coming back home from his morning walk with Sumo.
“Fuck,” Hank groaned, having hoped Connor wouldn’t have been home till much later so he could get rid of you without Connor finding out; the android knew a lot more about sarcasm now, and would undoubtedly mock Hank until his dying days if he found out about you.
“Someone’s grumpy,” Connor grinned, removing Sumo’s leash and letting the Saint Bernard roam free.
“Connor, do me a favour and get the hell out. I have something to take care of.”
“I would have thought you’d be happy, considering you got lucky last night.”
“Shit, you fuckin’ knew?”
“About (Y/N), yes. I met her last night when you were sleeping. She went to the bathroom and saw me in the hallway. We then had a nice chat before she went back to bed with you. She’s a real catch.”
“Go fuck yourself,” Hank retorted half-heartedly, hating the shit-eating grin Connor now wore.
Connor was about to make a rebuttal, but the sound of the bedroom door creaking open drew both men’s attention.
“Morning,” You said chipperly, coming out in one of Hank’s old shirts and the jeans that you had arrived in. “Connor, Hank.”
Hank grumbled, feeling bad that he didn’t remember the previous night, when you clearly seemed happy about whatever had gone on; he was still trying to deduce whether he had paid for your time or not, but now that you were awake, it seemed rude to ask. Despite that, Hank was about to ask if you needed a ride home as a way to get rid of you, when you kissed his cheek and sat down next to him at the kitchen table. He froze, memories of his ex-wife surfacing; she used to do that in the early days before things turned sour.
“Would you like some breakfast, (Y/N)?” Connor asked, trying to keep you there as long as possible for his own enjoyment.
“NO!” Hank growled, forgetting himself momentarily. “Uh, I mean- Connor is a lousy cook. Burns everything he touches.”
“Oh,” You noted, “That’s too bad. Then I suppose it’s up to me to make breakfast. You like pancakes?”
“N-”
“He sure does,” Connor interrupted, moving over to the cupboards. “Here, I’ll get the ingredients for you.”
As Connor worked, pulling out various utensils, he began asking you questions about you, trying to get Hank to like you just for the fun of it.
“So, (Y/N), how did you and Hank meet?”
“Oh it was really sweet. We were at a bar last night and some guy pinched my ass, and I was about to yell at him, but then Hank came over to defend my honour. It was so romantic. After that, we spent the night talking and well, here we are now, right sweetie?”
“…Right,” Hank answered non-committedly, trying to jog his own memory. Did he really do that? Why couldn’t he have minded his own business?
“Really?” Connor said enthusiastically. “That’s just like Hank. Did you know he’s works at the DPD? He’s always there to protect the citizens of Detroit and-”
“Connor, bedroom, now,” Hank glowered at Connor, who only smiled at you and excused himself, closely followed by Hank.
“What the hell are you playing at?” Hank hissed, once the door was closed and they were out of earshot.
“I was only-”
“Argh, I don’t care. Either help me get rid of her, or get the fuck outta here. You hear me?”
Rolling his eyes and sighing dramatically, Connor left the room, making his excuses to you before the house to go on yet another walk with Sumo.
“Bye Con,” You waved casually. “See you later. Well, I guess it’s just the two of us.”
Hank rubbed his beard awkwardly, dragging his hand down his face “Yeah about us…Listen, I’ve gotta be honest here. I don’t really remember anything about last night.”
Your face fell, “Oh…”
“And you seem like a nice girl, but uh- You’ve got a lot of life to live and you don’t want to go wasting it on a grumpy old fart like me, with a rough job and a heavy drinking problem.”
“Have you picked up women before?”
“What?” Hank asked, your question throwing him.
“Like, do you do this all the time?”
“No. Honestly, I haven’t done anything like this in a long time.”
“Then it’s fate,” You exclaimed happily.
“What?”
“You said it yourself. You don’t normally do this. So, whatever happens Hank Anderson, I am going to recreate the spark we had last night, until you learn that I’m the one for you. Besides, you’re a charming, handsome silver fox. Why would I ever give that up?”
You wrapped your hands around Hank’s waist and pecked his cheek again, while he stood dumbfounded.
Hank watched you with a frown as you went back to mixing the pancake batter, all the while wondering just what the hell he had said the previous night that had earned your affection.
At noon that day, Connor came back somewhat glumly, prepared for the fact that you would be gone and that Hank was willing to give up on finding love again. He had genuinely liked you, after finding that you truly did have feelings for Hank. However, when he got back in, he found you at the table with Hank in an avid conversation about old music.
Hank took in Connor’s flummoxed expression, and answered it with an equally perplexing statement, “(Y/N)’s staying for dinner.”
“No kidding,” Connor chuckled. “Welcome to the Anderson’s, (Y/N).”

part one
____
Around midnight that night, Rafe and Sophie were at the back-to-school party and Sophie was pleasantly surprised with how normal it all felt between the two. She told herself she fit in more wearing a minidress, knocking back lukewarm Coors Light in an old college basement rather than wearing a cocktail dress, drinking expensive vodka in a mansion. She didn’t let herself drink too much, afraid she’d spill her thoughts to Rafe. He did enough drinking for the two of them throughout the night and was thriving in the crowd with a bravado that came far too natural to him. 
“How do you feel about me, really?” Rafe asked Sophie, slurring just a little. He had his lips brushing her ear to be heard over the crowd and was leaning into her against the wall. “What do you mean? I like you, you know that.” She pushed his chest gently, making him stand straight again. 
“No, for real. Because I have something important to tell you, but I need to know how you feel.” He leaned close again and she felt uneasy, trying not to let herself overthink what he might mean. “Rafe, not now.” 
He frowned. “I wanna tell you. It’s special.” 
“Then tell me later. Only if you mean it.”
After he had tripped over a stray lamp cord and nearly took Sophie down with him, James and Colin had been watching Rafe, ready to save him from embarrassment. They’d been listening in and intervened when they heard the topic he brought up. “Rafe, dude, come get water with us.” (Everything had to be phrased as a group suggestion - drunk Rafe never accepted commands.) 
Rafe paused, glancing back and forth between them and Sophie. “No, I want Sophie to come, I gotta tell her.” 
“I don’t think you do.” Colin shook his head and grabbed Rafe’s arm, trying to pull him away.
Rafe huffed and flailed his arm out of Colin’s grip. “Fine, fine! Soph, baby, you gonna be okay?” She laughed and gave him a gentle push. “I’ll be just fine, I think you should go with the boys. Sounds fun.” He nodded and pressed a kiss to her temple. “Okay, but I’ll be right back. Don’t leave me.” 
“Won’t, promise. Go.” She shot a grateful smile to Rafe’s roommates and James grinned, giving her a cheesy salute as he tugged Rafe away to the kitchen. Colin rolled his eyes as he followed behind, then handed Rafe a bottle of water the second they walked in. “Here, drink.” 
“No, no, I’m good. I’m great.” Rafe pushed away the bottle, opting to take a long gulp from his solo cup instead. 
“That’s fine, I bet James can drink it faster anyways.” Two seconds after Colin handed the bottle to James, Rafe snatched it out of his hand and chugged the whole thing, crushing it in his hand. “Look! I did it.”  
“There we go.” James nodded. “Old tricks always work.”  
“Hey, guys.” Rafe accepted a White Claw from Colin, the boys figuring it was mainly water anyways. “I’m gonna tell Sophie I love her. Tonight.”
“Hell no you’re not.” Colin laughed. 
“You don’t wanna do that buddy, you’re better than that.” James shook his head, moving to block the kitchen door just in case Rafe made a run for it. 
Rafe frowned. “S’not fair. I’ve felt it for months now and I don’t wanna say it if she won’t.” 
“Months? I thought you told us you knew after formal. Which was early. It’s still early.” Colin added, ever-practical. 
James shrugged. He had been dating his high school sweetheart long-distance for three years now and was the hopeless romantic of the three. “That doesn’t matter. If you know, you know. That’s fine. But we’re not gonna let you make a fool of yourself for it, Rafe, you’re drunk off your ass right now.” 
“Drunk on my feet.” Rafe corrected, looking a little smug. 
“Sure, drunk on your feet. I was thinking about heading home, you wanna walk home? You’re too old to be missing classes for being hungover, even during syllabus week.” Colin reasoned. 
“Can I say ‘bye to Sophie?” 
“Just good night, no L-word.” James told him, and Rafe nodded. “No L-word.” 
The three made their way back out from the kitchen and Rafe found Sophie quickly, greeting her with a misplaced kiss on the corner of her lips. “Sophie, we’re gonna go home. No L-word though.” 
“No...what?” She asked with confusion as James smacked his forehead. “I can’t hear you, Rafe, it’s too loud.” 
“Good, we’re just gonna take him home!” Colin jumped in quickly, letting Rafe kiss Sophie again before tugging him away. Sophie watched them go, amused but utterly confused, hoping she was just assuming things too quickly from earlier.
_
After a week back at school, Sophie had hardly talked to Rafe. Her head spun  every time she speculated on what he might have been trying to tell her, and she wasn’t sure she could handle it. She tried to be subtle about pushing Rafe off, giving him shorter responses over text and making excuses when he asked to hang out. It wasn’t working. 
“Something’s wrong.” Rafe announced to his roommates, frowning when he received another half-hearted reply from Sophie. He’d tried to make plans with her three times that week and she somehow had a new thing she had to handle each time. 
“What do you mean, something’s wrong?” Colin asked. 
“It’s Sophie. She’s all off.” Rafe frowned. “Ever since we went home she’s been all weird. And now she won’t hang out with me.” 
“She’s probably busy, dude, doesn’t she have an internship this semester?” 
“How busy can someone really be during syllabus week?” James interjected.
“Week after, but real helpful, dude.” Colin chucked a dirty sock at James, and both of them started throwing random things across the room, yelling unintelligibly, until Rafe spoke up. “Hey. Hey! Knock it off!”  
Both boys had the decency to look a little sheepish as they settled down, James taking a seat on the couch next to Rafe. “Show me what she’s saying. Maybe you’re overthinking.” 
Colin flopped down on the other side of him. “Yeah, and didn’t you guys basically spend every day together over break? Maybe she needs some space.” 
“She’s my girlfriend, why would she need space from me?” Rafe frowned, handing his phone to James. 
James took his time to read through, trying to keep his expression neutral. “Huh.” 
“Fuck, that bad?” 
“No, no, not bad.” James paused, trying to gather his thoughts. “Maybe you just need to slow things down a little. You don’t need to see each other every single day just because you’re dating.” 
“I know that, but we’ve hardly talked all week. And she was weird at home too. I didn’t do something at the party, did I?” Rafe asked, trying to think back. 
“Uh...” Colin and James exchanged glances before Colin shook his head. “No, nothing out of the ordinary.”  
“Good. I’m gonna call her.” Rafe declared, leaving the room. Sophie didn’t pick up until the fourth ring. “Hey, Rafe, I’m walking to my freshman seminar, can I call you later?” 
“Convenient.” He mumbled before he could think. 
“I - what?” She replied, slightly taken aback. 
“Nothing, sorry. Yeah, can we hang out later? I can pick you up from the architecture building?” 
“Um...yeah. I’m done at seven.”
“Deal, I’ll be there.” He hung up before he could let himself say another dumb comment, while Sophie just stared at her phone in confusion after the dial tone. His comment weighed on her all through the class, and she was grateful it was just another lecture day she didn’t need to pay attention to instead of a technical day. When they got out a little early, she texted him right away. 
Sophie: just gonna walk home, we can talk tomorrow?
Rafe: I got here early, I’m parked on the side street
She took a deep breath and made her way out the building to his car - the fucking Range Rover that she had never given a second thought about until now. It was just another reminder of what she wasn’t. 
“Hey, Soph.” Rafe greeted her with a kiss once she slid into the passenger seat. She gave him a short smile. “Hey. How’d you know I’d be out early?” He shrugged, starting the car. “Only the second week of school, I just figured. Do you want to go get ice cream or something?” 
“I can’t, I have my first full day of my internship tomorrow and need to get things ready.” She started playing with her necklace, growing a little antsy. 
He glanced over. “Oh. Are you doing this every Monday?” 
“Monday and Wednesday nights, yeah. It’s kind of a lot, but I wanted to do one more TA class before senior year.” 
“That is a lot. Sounds like you’ll be busy.” He tapped his fingers on the wheel, staring ahead and listening to steady rhythm of rain that picked up around them.
She just hummed in agreement, falling silent again. After a few moments, she reached for the radio, and he gently knocked her hand away. “Sophie, what’s your deal?” 
“My deal?” She repeated. “I don’t have a deal, I’m just trying to figure out how to balance work and class. What’s your deal?” She shot back to him, growing defensive. 
“And me?” 
“What?”  
“You’re trying to figure out how to balance me, too?” He glanced over again, jaw set. This was not at all how he wanted this conversation to go - but it also felt good to finally get it out, so he didn’t stop himself. 
“Where the fuck is this coming from, Rafe?” She turned in her seat to fully face him, arms crossed. 
“You’ve been like this for a moment. Before school started, so you can’t use that excuse.” He pulled up front on the street outside Theta and turned off the car so he could fully face her. 
She backed down a little, shrinking back into her seat. “Have I? I’m not sure about that.” 
Rafe frowned and reached out for her hand, but she pulled it back. “Soph, come on. Talk with me.” 
“I am talking. There’s nothing to talk about. I’m just balancing things.” She insisted, biting the inside of her cheek hard to keep her composure. In her mind, there would be nothing worse than showing him how much she was struggling at the moment - she just needed to work things out with herself, and she’d be fine.
He regarded her carefully, unsure. “Maybe...maybe we should take a break.” He said it all in one breath, extremely wary of her reaction. “Just for a couple weeks. I’ll back off.” 
Sophie nodded in agreement without any hesitation. “Yeah. We should.” 
Rafe’s face twisted in disappointment. He swallowed hard and gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles were almost white, avoiding her gaze. “Okay.” 
“Okay.” She stopped, almost reaching out to touch him, question it, but changed her mind at the last minute. She grabbed her backpack and got out of the car, wincing when the door accidentally slammed shut behind her. 
He flinched at her slamming the door, eyes still trained out the window. Rafe still waited until she was safely inside, then waited a moment longer to catch his breath, feeling like he had been punched in the gut. 
A break, accepted without any pause.

your type (pt. 4)
Tumblr media
Hey friends, hope you’re all healthy and staying safe. No real updates from me nor any recommendations. I’ve been a bit of a hermit from social media and the real world these days. Anyway, I think you guys will enjoy this part. :)
w.c. 2.1k
pairing: woozi x OC/reader
pt. 1; pt. 2; pt. 3
“What if they don’t convince her to come?” Jihoon asks Seungcheol.
“Are you worried?” Seungcheol chuckles, setting food on the coffee table. “You aren’t the type to worry.”
“We bet 100 each,” Jihoon snorts. “You sure you don’t want that money back?”
“I’m getting it doubled back.” Seungcheol waves him off. “Jihyo’s friends know how to play our game. It’s what makes her fun. So trust me, your girl will be here.”
Jihoon helps to set up the apartment until Mingyu and Wonwoo arrive half an hour earlier than everyone else. Mingyu’s their resident chef and has some last-minute cooking to do.
Once they’re done, Wonwoo and Seungcheol play a round of some video game that Jihoon doesn’t pay attention to. Instead, he sits hunched over his notebook.
“When are you going to stop working on that song?” Wonwoo asks. He leans across the couch to get a look at Jihoon’s notebook. “You’ve been working on it for ages.”
“If it’s not perfect already, hyung, it’ll never be perfect,” Mingyu calls from the kitchen.
“Will you all shut up?” Jihoon retorts. He scratches out the last line he’d written. “It’s not your grade on the line.”
“Prof only put that much pressure on you because you’re good.” Wonwoo sits back up again after Seungcheol shouts about a great penalty shot. “So, hand in whatever and she’ll give you an A+.”
“That woman would give Jihoon an A++ if she could,” Seungcheol snorts.
Wonwoo stretches his leg a little to give Seungcheol two affectionate kicks to the shin. “One day, someone will see all the potential in you too.”
The boys arrive on time and expect the girls to be an hour late like usual, but Seungcheol’s phone pings as they all start to settle in.
“Are they here already?” Jeonghan asks.
Hansol chuckles as he reaches for a chip. “Noona must be here too. She’s always on time.”
Jihoon closes his notebook and tucks it down the side of the couch, where he hides his notebooks when strangers come over. He glances up when the girls walk in loud and giggly. Hugs are exchanged, as certain girls gravitate towards certain people.
And the one person everyone is watching gravitates towards Mingyu after her initial greeting. Jihoon can hear her chatting casually with him.
“Why are you in here alone?” she asks.
“Gotta finish this for dinner.” Jihoon knows that Mingyu’s on his side for the bet, so he expects Mingyu to tell her to head into the living room.
But she beats him to the next line. “Do you need any help?”
“Oh.” There’s a pause. “Yeah, if you don’t mind.”
“Would I ask if I wasn’t offering? What do you need?”
“How are you, Jihoon?”
Jihoon pulls his attention to the person sitting beside him. It’s Wheein. She’s in his song writing class. They start talking about the songs they’re working on. While he is listening to Wheein, he definitely has his eye on the clock.
Tumblr media
She doesn’t return to the living room until they come out with food. And then she sits by Hansol and Seungkwan. The two seem thoroughly excited to chat with her about everything.
When Mingyu sits near him, Jihoon hisses, “What the hell, Gyu?”
“Sorry!” Mingyu exclaims. He reaches forward to fill his plate. “Noona offered to help and I wasn’t going to say no.” He notices Jihoon’s look of disbelief. “You guys never offer to help me.”
Jihoon doesn’t want to make it obvious by getting up and sitting with her, but as one hour passes to two without a one-on-one conversation with her, he realizes he needs to pull out the “big moves”.
In this case, get her alone and ask her what the hell is going on.
He stands and meets her eye. “You want a drink?”
She shrugs. “Sure.”
Jihoon motions with his head to follow and she nods her understanding, getting up as her team tries to discern what words Jeonghan is referring to. She trails after him and leans against the archway into the kitchen. He pulls two cans of Coke from the fridge and hands one to her.
“Did you want to talk about something?” she asks.
“I wanted to talk to you.” Jihoon turns to face her. “But you don’t seem to want to talk to me.”
“Oh.” She blinks. “You didn’t make it seem like you wanted to talk to me, so I just… gave you your space.”
Jihoon’s eyes narrow. “You know I wanted to talk to you.”
“No, I didn’t.” She pulls the tap on her drink, letting the drink fizz before speaking. “You told me to come if Seungcheol invited Jihyo over. That could have meant anything.”
“I thought it was clear that it meant I wanted to see you again,” Jihoon states.
She shrugs. “Well, I’ve been here for two hours now and you’ve hardly looked at me or said anything to me since I got here. I’m not a mind reader, Jihoon.” She sips her drink. “Surprise.”
Jihoon snorts and takes a frustrated sip. “You’re impossible.
A small smirk appears on her face, dimpling her cheek. “I like guys who like to communicate. You’re going to have to communicate if you want my attention.”
Damn, his fatal flaw. He can keep girls at arm’s length by doing the complete opposite of what she likes. But the bet’s been set. Backing out means losing, so he nods his understanding.
“So, are we going to kick Seungkwan off my team so you can join me on the other side of the table?” She lightly kicks him in the calf. “Or are you willing to lose again?”
Jihoon runs his tongue along his teeth. “I’m not going to lose.”
She chuckles as she heads back to the living room. “I think what’s happening with your team is called ‘losing’, Jihoon.”
They play games all night long. Nearly everyone gets so drunk that when Jihoon sees her struggling to rally the girls together, he suggests that maybe they ought to stay over.
Jihoon takes Wheein’s arm. “You’re not going to be able to get them all home safe.”
She concedes to that fact. Besides her, Jihoon and Hansol are the only ones sober. Hansol had informed her around hour 3 of intense drunkedness, there’s an established rule that at least two of them need to stay sober.
“We get too out of hand if we’re all drunk. Last time all of us were this drunk, we found a milk jug in the toilet and Soonyoung hyung sleeping in the tub surrounded by his own vomit.”
She passes Jihyo off to Hansol and then helps Hwasa out of her boots again. They congregate in the living room. Jihoon offers his bed to Momo, Sana and Sejeong. Jihyo, Wheein and Hwasa take Seungcheol’s. The boys pile together in the living room.
Jihoon shuts the door to Seungcheol’s room, blankets under one arm. He looks around when he doesn’t see her in the living room with the boys. He tosses the pile of blankets on Soonyoung’s stomach when he hears shuffling in the kitchen.
He finds her with her shoes on, coat going around her shoulder. “You’re not staying?” Jihoon asks.
She shakes her head as she wraps her scarf around her neck. “I don’t do sleepovers. Especially not if you’re here and sober too.”
“Oh, come on. Who hurt you?” Jihoon teases. He sees a flash of hurt cross her face and realizes he’s touched a nerve. “Sorry.” He looks over the kitchen and living room divider; Hansol is trying to shake Seokmin off to put him to sleep. Jihoon turns back to her. “Walk you home?”
She shrugs. “You won’t take a no, so bundle up.”
She slips her gloves on and Jihoon goes to grab socks and his jacket. Hansol looks over when he reemerges.
“I’m just going to walk her home,” Jihoon explains. Most of the boys have knocked out around Hansol’s feet. “Is that cool?”
“Noona’s not going to stay?”
Jihoon shakes his head.
“Okay, yeah. I should be—Seungkwan, lie down.” Hansol bats off Seungkwan’s hands from his ankles.
Jihoon is genuinely surprised she waited for him. It would have been a perfect excuse for her to duck out.
“Bye Hansol!” she calls.
“Get home safe, noona! Will you get off?”
She frowns at Jihoon. “Is he going to be okay?”
“The boys get clingy when they’re intoxicated.” Jihoon waves off her concern. “He’ll be fine.” He opens the door for her and she leads the way into the hallway.
They pick up their conversation where they had left it during the last round of Truth. Her girls love the game when everyone’s a bit drunk, and the boys definitely shared more than she anticipated. She now knows way too much about Joshua’s showering habits.
But Jihoon is the most interested in the truths about her.
“They said you have the best game,” he states.
It was the last Truth for Sejeong. “What’s something shocking that we wouldn’t believe?”
All the girls had chimed in immediately.
She throws her head back with a laugh now and presses the call button for the elevator. “I haven’t used any of my ‘game’ in a long time. So probably not anymore.”
“But at one time, you did.”
“Maybe.” She watches the lights move towards their floor. “What does that even mean anyway?” The doors open before them.
“Well, for us, it means you can get any girl to agree to go on a date with you without too much effort.”
“Hm.” She presses for the ground floor. “I guess, then… yeah.”
Jihoon cocks an eyebrow. “I’m all ears.”
“Hey, let’s keep in mind that I’ve settled before. I don’t like playing the game.”
“Even though it’s fun?”
“Maybe for you. But…” She adjusts her scarf. “I actually like the feelings and emotions and everything that comes with a real relationship. It’s not just about the sex for me.” She tips her head both ways. “But it definitely helps if the guy’s good at it.”
Jihoon chuckles.
His response gets her to crack a smile. “Anyway, the game gets boring when everyone plays it the same way.”
Jihoon agrees with the sentiment. “So, how many boyfriends have you actually had?”
“I told you already, one.”
“Your face said something else earlier.”
She pauses and then the elevator doors open. They head out of the apartment building and it isn’t until they’ve started on their way to her place that she says anything. “I don’t like playing, because I’ve been played. And I don’t count him, because…” She sighs. “How can I count someone who hurt me that way?”
Jihoon wants to ask more questions. If he can figure out how these guys won her over, he’s a shoe in to win that bet. “What made you like him? You know, if he hurt you that bad, you must have had a lot of feelings for him.”
She chews on her bottom lip and watches where she steps to avoid slipping on some of the icy parts. “I’ve only known you for a few days. Why do I need to answer this?” Her eyes swing his way. “How about you answer some of myquestions?”
Jihoon hesitates, but remembers that communication is important to her. He’s going to have to open up a little. “Shoot.”
“What about me is interesting you enough to bother?”
“That seems kinda vain, don’t you think?” Jihoon jokes.
She smiles a little with a shrug. “Maybe, but I’ve heard many mixed things about you, Lee Jihoon.” She nudges him. “Tell me why I’m worth pursuing.”
He won’t admit that the challenge of winning her over is enticing to him; he’ll lose her immediately. Luckily, she’s just his type and he doesn’t have to lie much. “You’re gorgeous, smart. New blood is always fun. I like your refreshing energy, even if your personality’s kinda harsh.” This makes her laugh out loud and he smiles. “I meet a lot of people like me, who date just to see how many notches they can get on their bedpost.”
“That’s an old analogy,” she chuckles.
“It’s also nice to meet someone who wants to love just to love.”
She grabs his arm when she feels her footing go. “Good god.” Jihoon eases her over the icy patch and then she asks her next question. “So, what makes you think I’ll play along with your game?”
“Game?”
“Oh, come now, this can’t be because you’re actually interested in me that way. You just told me that you think the game is fun.”
“We’re all looking for love, are we not? That’s the end goal.”
“And what was wrong with all the other girls you dated? I’m sure they were nice enough.”
“Nice enough is not the same as perfect.”
“Perfect doesn’t exist.” She sighs.
And then changes the conversation completely.
“What are your parents like?”
“My parents?”
“A lot of people carry pieces of their parents around. What are yours like?”
“Great,” he answers honestly. “Better than great. They’re perfect.”
She smiles at that. Jihoon can practically see a wall coming down at that statement.

Mat was immediately drawn into you the first time you have met through mutual friends. Anders was taking the team out for drinks after another win to a local bar in New York that he had never been to. Crazy to think that, considering NY is like his home now but there’s one specific bar he had yet to discover.
It was a small cozy bar called ‘LOLA’ written in red neon lights. The building was painted in all black, nothing exciting about it but it was completely different soon as he stepped inside.
“One of my friends owns this place, sings sometimes here too. Her name’s Y/N.  she’s a pretty cool chick.” Anders informed the team as soon as they found a table to sit.
Mat had to hear the countless compliments Anders was giving about you almost throughout the night, or perhaps more like showing off his best friend's success and everything. Not that he had any problem with that, it’s just Anders could be a real blabbermouth when he already had some drinks in him.
“Sounds like you got a crush on the girl” Tito piped, smirking as he took a swig of his beer, hearing the others snicker. Including Mat.
Anders was quick to shake his head. “Not possible. The girl’s got standards. We’re just buds anyways” He said defensively.
What Anders failed to mention was how fucking gorgeous you were of a person,
When the captain pointed at a certain dark haired woman going up on stage, along with the lines of ‘that’s her’,  he nearly choked on his drink.
You had your hair up in a high top bun, a few messy curls falling over your forehead. Deep red lipstick painted over your lips. An outline of a dragon tattoo decorating your wrist and all the way up to your arm but it didn’t go over your elbows. The ink looked perfect on you. Few piercings perched on your ears and if he wasn’t mistaken, he caught a glimpse of a tongue and nipple studs when he squinted his eyes.
The short black dress you were wearing was hugging your figure the right way. Especially with the strappy heels you were wearing, you looked sophisticated under the dimmed lights.
“Hello beautiful people, how are you enjoying this beautiful evening?” You asked, a smile on your lips.
When you spoke, he was about to fall onto his knees right there. You had the softest voice he has ever heard. With your hand gently grasping the microphone and eyes slowly scanning across the room. He was entranced by you.
And when you began to sing--to a song he had never heard before-- he was for sure in love with the voice that was carried by a gorgeous woman who was standing a few feet away from their table. The way you tilted your head to the side and closed your eyes as you feel in the music. It was something so sexy yet attractive to him. He had his eyes running to your face and down to your body over and over. Shamelessly staring at you with his chin resting on his knuckles.
He had to thank Anders for taking him out here.
The crowd erupted into a small cheer soon as you did your number, which made your lips carved into a grin and nodded your head as a form of ‘thank you’ before walking off stage. He was a bit disappointed to know that you were only singing one song because he wanted to hear your beautiful, dolvett voice at least three more times.
But that feeling didn’t last long, you were walking over to his table with a smile that seemed couldn’t be wiped off your face and he could sense the butterflies in his stomach. Because, fuck.
You looked much prettier up close.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming with your team Lee, otherwise i would’ve put the velvet booth under your name.” You approached Anders before wrapping your hands around him and so did he,
“Nah. that’s okay. We’re good with the table, anyway.” Anders responded, letting go of his grasp around your waist and turn around to look at his friends. “Oh yeah, guys. This is Y/N. Been a friend of mine since we were... kids.. i think?”
“Afraid so” You teased, making him nudge your stomach with his elbow.
“You were amazing up there. Pretty as hell too. Loved your voice.” One spoke out, he had a messy blonde hair tucked underneath a navy snapback.
“That’s Sebastian.” Lee introduced with a grin, shaking his head lightly at his friend who went straight ahead with the words he had chosen.
Giggling, you nod your head. Shooting him a smile. “I’m glad you did. Gotta entertain a few people here.”
One by one, Anders introduced his teammates to you. Who had no shame calling you pretty and a sultry voice to hear which made you blush a few times because you weren’t used to people giving you many compliments at once.
Then your eyes stopped at Mat. Who had his knees bouncing up and down when he got nervous. Staring at your gorgeous brown eyes.
“And you are...” You trail off, raising your eyebrow at him.
“Mat. Mat Barzal” He stuck his hand out for you to shake, which you gladly took.
‘Fuck her hands are soft’
“Mat Barzal” you repeated, humming slightly. Deciding that you liked how the name rolled off your tongue. Plus he was really handsome and adorable as hell. “You’re pretty cute” With that, you retreated your hand back. Seeing his cheeks reddened as he tried to hide it by looking down at the table.
You bit on your lip softly, silently squealing at how cute this boy was acting like that in front of you. “Well, i’ve got a job to do. See you guys later” You waved bye at the boys, not forgetting to send Mat a playful wink when he looked back up.
and that brings you both here. six months later after becoming close friends with each other. The two of you exchanged numbers that night. When the team was mostly drunk off their asses, you sat down next to him and began a conversation in which he had shy away at first. Then starting to become more comfortable with your personality and found talking with you was just as easy as breathing.
He had learned many interesting facts about you. Your hometown, your college major, your favorite artists and crazy ex boyfriend that you had to put a restraining order on. He was truly captivated by the way you talk about something so small yet you made it sound so beautiful. Never in his life, he had ever been this star-struck about someone. And that feeling he had to bottled up for half a year.
right now, he’s coming over to your apartment because Anders is throwing a BBQ at his place and you asked him earlier if he wanted to go together and of course, Mat couldn’t say no to that.
He's wearing a plain black tee and dark jeans with a chain around his neck. Figuring that the fit was good enough for just a BBQ at his friend’s place.
seconds after he knocks on your door, he hears you shout ‘coming!’ along with loud thumping on the floor.
he smiles at the sound of your voice and grows wider when you open the door,
“hi, barzy” you smile softly at him, panting lightly as you open the door wider for him to come in.
“hi, y/n/n” he leans down giving you a kiss on the cheek before entering your place. observing your choice of attire. a white tank top and pink cotton shorts, he notices you have no bra on so your breasts are practically falling over the top. “you’re not wearing that to Lee’s are you? Not that i mind though” he playfully points, gesturing to the clothes.
rolling your eyes, you smack his arm but smile anyway. “Of course not, you pervert. Even if I was, I wouldn't let you see me like that.”
The flirty banter has become a thing between the two of you. Yeah, you’re friends or whatever but both of you still like to flirt with each other, even go as far as being touchy which you have no problem at all. Whenever you go out he has his firm grip around your waist or when you have a sleepover at his house, you like to lay down on his chest and your arm drapes over his toned stomach.
he chuckles at your attempt of hurting him but he begins to frown when he sees a smoke coming from your kitchen. “Did you burn your food or something?”
“What? Oh no it’s not from food. I was smoking a blunt while I was waiting for you here. Just freshly rolled a backwood. Want some?” You offer, taking his hand as you lead him to the kitchen.
He snorts, shaking his head as he sits on one of the barstool. “No thanks, babe. I hate that stuff.”
“You said that because you haven’t even tried it yet” You say, pouring yourself a glass of water and taking a bite of plain bread, helping you to sober up a little.
“Still a no.” He defends.
“Lame” you sign out dramatically, reaching over the counter to turn on the volume on the speaker
“Who’s that?” He asks quickly, finding the song quite catchy. Trying to get a look on your phone.
“Teyana Taylor, ‘How You Want It’. I fucking love her voice. Might sing it next week.” You shrug, chewing on the bread as you sit across him.
He hums, turning the tune a bit louder. “I like it.”
You look at him like he’s got five heads. “Since when did you like RnB?”
“Since that time you sent me three playlists consists of 50 songs each. Had most of them saved on my Spotify.” He answers, grabbing your glass of water to take a sip.
You freeze for a second, smiling fondly at him and trying so hard to ignore the heebie-jeebies in your stomach when he confesses as if it was nothing.
You cannot believe he actually listened to them.
“Really? You really listened to all of them?”
He nods right away, shoving a few Doritos into his mouth. “Yeah. You got me hooked with Jhene Aiko, BJ The Chicago Kid and Summer Walker here not gonna lie.”
There’s no use in holding back the smile now. Your grin gets wider and the faint blush on your cheeks are visible, making Mat smirks cheekily at you with his eyebrows raise.
“Are you blushing right now?” He jokes,
“Well how could I not?” You exclaim, throwing your hands up in the air as you giggle at him. “Especially when I didn't order you to actually listen to every song in there. You’re making my heart flutter, Maty.” You pout and stare at him with your hooded eyes
He grins softly at the nickname. Glancing at your cute pout and he has to resist the urge to lean over and give you a soft kiss on your lips--like he had been waiting for what it seems to be forever--. His hazel eyes staring back at yours as your hands clasp together and head tilting to the side. Long and messy black hair that you haven’t gotten the time to brush it evenly. your fresh face that hasn’t been covered in makeup yet and a sweet rose scented body lotion on your soft skin. Watermelon lip balm coating your lips.
After months seeing you countless times being dolled up and bare faced with vintage/old shirts and shorts, he decides he likes seeing you like this. Home Y/N is what he loves now.
And he is completely fucked. Because he is in love with you.
And there’s no going back from that.
