Youngbin:
Since you asked anon, ahaha
You sigh, shifting in your seat, partly to relieve yourself of the ache in your glutes; party in frustration from Youngbin who is seated next to you, dozing off. Truthfully, you find it funny and what's not to about it? He looks cute from the angle you are sitting at, holding himself by the palm of his hand that leans on the other arm-rest of the cinema chair. You don't want to wake him up, empathetic for all those schedules he had, yet he asked you- insisted really, to meet him up here. Well, you did predict with a 100% accuracy that he would fall asleep. You are all the way at the back, it's been long since you've seen him, you want him and you can have him, right now (?). It's not risky, more enticing as you shiver from excitement. You do not know what compels you to do this, perhaps a daring combination of lust and longing. You giggle, eyes drawing to the screen and the people. Oh you are loving this movie but what can you do about it? You carefully get onto your knees, rather quickly, ignoring the ache in between your inner thighs. It's all nimble because of the nervousness, you shakily unbutton his trousers, tug them down and then his boxers. You look up, is he really asleep? Deeper sleep than you thought? You wouldn't be surprised. Make the best out of every situation. You spit on your hands and pump him a few times and there's the bulge that you would have seen as an outline if you were at home. You take him in your mouth, wet and warm and that's when he jerks awake, like a small one, 'I've woken up' is the appropriate saying. You bob your head, increasing your grip on his thigh, holding yourself back from touching yourself, it'd be more pleasurable that way. He takes a couple of seconds but his hands automatically fly to the back of your head, caressing your hand and he wants to tell you, ''Good girl, you take me so well.'' which he does, in a whisper and it does absolutely nothing to quell the ache in your wet core, you clench your thighs together even harder at his words. Your smile grows, maybe in shyness or in a state of bliss, albeit not as much if it was his cock stuffed inside your pussy, you fondle his balls, flattening your tongue to the underside where a vein lies. He's nervous now, undoubtedly as he looks around but he doesn't want to stop you and he does not till you've milked him dry with your mouth.
Inseong:
He's reading something, or rather, he's studying, maybe English, you've forgotten what it was, an hour and then another passing since he's started. He got a little bit distracted at first, quickly getting up from his seat and walking to where you where, entering the room, hovering over you, pressing kisses to your neck and chest, so close to grinding his hips over yours when you pushed him away, hand on his chest, ''Don't you have to study?'' to which he moaned about something- nonsense mumbles and buried his head in your chest (he was in a whining mood). It made you laugh, honestly. ''You're so sweet you know?'' you said, clutching his cheeks and directing his gaze at you and he chuckled, shy, reminding himself and you, that he had to study (unfortunately). You smiled as he left not expecting him for another hour or so, bringing your laptop back to your lap. The comforters smell like him and his rather luxurious body lotion he uses + that, plus you can't stop thinking of his silk pyjamas, should you tease him about it or not? You contemplate that, at approximately thirty minutes past, around the same time he stalks into the room with extra light footsteps. All the while he was studying, he thought of all the encouraging words your gave him when he first told you that he was taking this test and suddenly, one of the memories was of you saying, ''You've done so well you know''- a non-sexual situation with that smile of yours, beaming for him, that made his heart curl up into a ball and continue to do his best for you. He was in that mood, he felt relief when he got up from his seat and made his way to you. You welcomed him with open arms, ''Hey baby'', nuzzling his hair, hovering over him. You needed him too but you were up for something else today. Something a little more dominating, you needed to know if he was okay with it today, feeling like it. There's a lot going on his eyes, he's silent but looking, growing more happy the further your fingers go, trailing downwards to his hips and hooking in the band of his joggers, the loose material- ''Did you finish studying?'' you ask. The words come too suddenly for him, the moment of truth that decides what your actions will be and he gulps, growing nervous. His groin stirs at what you could do but he replies, ''A-almost, almost done you know''. You smile, he's nervous so he hasn't done what he was supposed to; you also think that it is perfect. You bite your lip and pulls his joggers to his ankle revealing his semi-hard cock, ''You sound nervous baby'', you lean down and place a kiss on his lower tummy, not bothering to see the expression on his face. He doesn't want to lie to you and he hasn't- he could wing that test any day. He lies in anticipation, not saying anything like you, you simply smile and pump him, resulting in a slight thrust of his hips into your hand and when he's hard, you spit on his tip and stroke him, hearing heavy breaths and moans, he absolutely loves your mouth on him but he knows that this night won't end as he wants it too- you've got something up your sleeve and he can feel it. You chuckle at the way he has lifted his head to peer at you, the way you swallow his cock but most of all, how your warm mouth feels around him. You bob your head, giving him encouraging squeezes on his inner thighs so he knows that he's doing well till the time he's about to release. You love this part, just to tease him. Tears prick at his eyes when you stop before he is about to release. You come up and take him into your arms at the sight. When you hold him, that's when the waterfall begins and you hold him till you hear sniffles. You wipe his tears and kiss him softly, with reassurance, ''How about this: you go study, do your best while you are at it and then we'll think about we can solve your problem later huh?''. He nods and stays in your arms for sometime, snuggling into you before he leaves for the study room.
Jaeyoon:
You steadily walk through the thick, velvet blue curtains, calming your haste by the soothing clicking of your shoes. Upon entering the wide hall, you pause and marvel at the sight. It's so beautifully decorated, you think, complimenting the production designers and workers on their work and effort. Past the rows and rows of empty seats that, fingers crossed, will be completely filled for the show, you spot Jaeyoon, the main lead and his female lead hunched together, viewing something on a camera. It was rumoured that Jaeyoon was difficult to work with. At first you presumed that it was because of his personal life, uncontrollable perhaps? Or because of his attitude, he could find it hard to cope with the reality of his fame or maybe he had anger issues, because of it or independently, you didn't know for sure. Or it could be false so you kept your prejudices to yourself. No point in being presumptuous you thought, you didn't even know the guy. Then. You watched him perform, eyes gleaming at the whole thing itself. Credit where credit was due, they were amazing and after weeks of preparation, a standing ovation was what they deserved. Backstage, you asked him if he wanted to go for a show, a neighbouring one? ''To see the competition?'' his tone was playful and he was smiling, ''I don't mind''. Palpable, he found his core tightening, ever since last week. How close were the two of you? Well, he had you almost naked under him until you were interrupted by the bell and he had to leave. It had been a week. He had pushed you on the bed, hastily kissing you, hovering over with a buzz in his head- the wine from dinner. Then. Their stage was equally impressive, given your live commentary throughout where the two of you had your mouth continuously open, whether you were gasping or just talking, obviously annoying the people left, right, front and back. They could see two heads touching, whispering something. His cologne invaded your nose, warm breath fanning the shell of your ear, saying something to you. You couldn't respond, sexual tension present, until he shook you, urging himself away from kissing you. A light one, like a peck on the cheek. You were so close and he felt like taking you home, telling you how he felt and undressing you, so many things to unwrap. The former was obvious. In an empty space in the hall, long after everyone was gone, you resumed what you couldn't after being busy all week long. You urgently kiss him, feeling his taste on your tongue, like last week. You only look up to see if there's anyone in there but you brain is running a hundred simulations at once and nothing seems dangerous enough so you continue, breaths and hands, hot and heavy on one another. You gasp, he's pulling the material of your dress up and feeling your backside, pressing you against his bulge. You tug open his belt and slide down on your knees and you are sure, absolutely, that someone has walked through the door just now. It's not the door to the space that you are in but beyond that, somewhere else, you aren't concerned. You leave a trail of saliva on his cock and pump him a few times, looking at him, peering up, knowing the effect you have on him. He's not keen on your teasing, prolonging, he fists your hair and guides his cock into your mouth. All the way to the back, your hands grip his thighs and squeeze, gagging at the intrusion in between your lips but you like it, reaching for your clit and rubbing, sighing in relief at the ache. He pulls out and fills your mouth again and he's thinking of the warmth, how good you feel there but there's impatience in his nature. He can't help it, he pulls you up and wipes the tears from your eyes, bending you over a bare table. It's a rush to take off your underwear and stuff it in his pockets, entering you without warning till he's sheathed to the hilt, having you gasp and cry out at the stretch. He kisses you hard on the mouth and then covers the noises you make, bringing your chest up, back to his chest, thrusting into your heat, saying, ''Be good for me, okay? Keep quiet.'',
trailing off to moan into your ear. You nod, crying in his hand, trying to keep the noises at bay, easy compliance which he finds hot, he didn't know you had this in you. You release your juices around his cock, slumping on the table whose corners you've gripped really hard, loosening it, whimpering, fumbling for his wrists, you feel overstimulated. ''Hold on, I'm there, alright dove?'' he coos, fucking you once, twice and then through his release, milking your insides. He tugs your dress down and his trousers up and you turn over and slip into his arms, kissing him, love over lust, giggling together and going home together.
Dawon I Lee Sanghyuk:
Simple, he's come home from work, exhausted but not too much to drop and you are preoccupied by your thoughts, about him. He takes you into his arms, sitting by the edge of the bed, upright, you grow needier as you straddle him. But you could wait. The kisses grow needier, passionate, like melting your bodies against one another, that feeling is present, every time. He pulls back for a breather and touches your foreheads, it's cute and makes you smile, tugging on his suit jacket which he takes as a sign to remove. ''What'd you want to do?'' he asks. His voice is soft and envelopes only the space between the two of you despite this being your house with no one else in it. ''Sit here'' and his lower belly stirs in arousing mystery, he knows what you have in mind, much more significance present whether or not you put it into words. You get off him and stand less than arm length away, taking off your clothes. He watches hungrily, taking in every detail connected with your body for example the way the fabric moves when you slip it off. You are graceful with it. You could be hasty and he would still find it sensual, he loves you naked. There isn't much to remove, just a shirt, no bra and panties. His mouth goes dry when you are only in your panties. He loves when you sleep like that. You gasp, biting down on your bottom lip, he tugs you closer to him and reaches out for the space between your legs, rubbing your clit over the material, evoking such beautiful sensations that have you curling at the knees. But first, as much as you want to go on, you nod and he takes his hand away, giving you a small smile as you get on your knees, never leaving his eyes, his intense gaze. When you are on your knees, in between his legs, he takes the liberty of grasping the back of your head and kissing you, leaning down to kiss you, he loves doing this every time and explains it as power play. Fuck, you think about how hot it is, his dominance over you. You sit on your heels, hands obediently on your knees, staring at his fingers working on taking his cock out. All the while, he thinks of your behaviour, observing your patience, your submission, heavy turn-ons for him. Your core is aching, in waiting, you had grown more aroused. Has it been the waiting or the change in atmosphere? He spits on his hand and pumps himself a few times and then slowly guides your mouth onto it, not giving you a chance to adjust to the intrusion in your mouth before pulling back and filling your mouth up again. Tears spill from your eyes, you gag on his cock as it hits the back of your throat but you don't object or touch him, instead fisting your hands on your knees and allow him to use your mouth. Next, he will use your core. So many thoughts, you are leaking in your panties when he moans out, ''You're doing so well.'', turning your cheeks pink and urging yourself to do even more better. You look up at his expression, nearly crying from the pleasure you are able to give him. ''Look at yourself baby, fuck, I'm fucking you dumb aren't I? Just a little slut to be used, on my cock.'' he turns you towards the small mirror on the floor, not far from the bed, leaning against the wall and big enough for you to see yourself in it. His words make you nod, he is pleased at the agreement in your eyes. He pulls you off his cock, watching a trail of saliva connect the tip of his cock and your open mouth, greedily sucking in air as if you had not been breathing moments before. He makes you keep silent by having you moan and cry out into his hand that covers your mouth, controlling the volume of your sounds as he pounds into you from behind, fully filling you to the brim, ''I know baby, I like using you.''. When he cleans the two of you up, he joins you in bed where hours later, you cock warms him, giggling and laughing about your day when he tells jokes and pinches your nipples, giving you precious love bites.
Rowoon I Kim Seokwoo:
Seokwoo is hovering above you, smiling like crazy. This is the first time you entrust yourselves to each other, sexually. From stripping each other of one's clothes and feverishly pressing kisses in all the right places, you've held back- in the back of his car while watching the fireworks, on the sofa strapped to the back of his truck when you helped him change house and last week, when he appeared all sheepish, ringing the bell and pressing you against the door with loving, I-want-to-make-love-to-you kisses after you told him that your parents were out. You stare at him, soaking in his expressions. Your clothes are on and as much as the two of you have eagerly waited for this moment, you start to relish it in. To take in all the details of your first night together. How did you end up here? That was a good question now for the night appeared faster than the day. The memories of the morning enlighten but here, here there is a different glow. Particularly the light from outside, bathing it's yellow's and orange's on your precious bodies, day illuminating your sight of one another. He sees a flash of nervousness in your eyes or ''This...'', not sure how you want to put it into words to which he instantly caresses your arms, gently, every so slowly, locking your lips in a soft, passionate embrace like he wants to tell you a million words made of the bright morning star and dark evening silvers combined. It sparks a need within you, in between primal and not, fucking loving. Heat slowly growing in you, you pull him back to your lips, touching your body, lips, legs to his, entangling. There the fire grows or perhaps, the heat. Heart of heart, hand in hand, you straighten up, sitting on your backside instead of laying and conscious of each other's movements, he moves back till he is on his back, head having not met the bed sheets purely in favour of seeing what you are about to do. One could say that he is curious, like a cat with it's ears poking up to the sound of a doorbell or wrapper crinkling. The latter for later, you think, grinning. He bites his lip, mouth almost asking, ''What are you doing baby?'' to which you say, ''Just you wait'', reading the words from lips. ''I can wait'' he says, almost saying, I've waited for so long, I can wait!. You think that he's cute, never more before than at this moment. The last time you were here, he was the one in this position. You move to in between his legs, trailing your fingers over his legs, toppling his nerves over the edge. Before he can move, which the movement resembles a jerk upwards, you push him back down, reassuring him. First with a kiss to his collarbone, travelling to deliver another kiss to his lips, cutting to the chase, ''Relax'', soothingly, ''I've got you.'', relaxing him till you see his expression soften and him nod, holding your arms. Then you go down, never letting go off the link between your eyes, core tingling with the buzzing of arousal as you pull his boxers off his legs, allowing his fully hard cock to spring from the previous confines. It's a sight to behold, right in front of you, mouth parting in awe at his cock. He looks at you nervously for a second and then thinks that he shouldn't have to be, he's safe with you, more than comfortable and he could sink into it; that's how you make him feel. He smiles when you reach for his hand, entwining your fingers, giving a little squeeze before you release, coating spit with your fingers and palm and spreading it across his cock, including his precum with a swipe. When you first touch him, he flinches but not in a bad way, it's a little unexpected but nothing to be worried about. He instantly calms, his heart racing all the same, throwing his head back and letting a groan escape him when he feels the warmth of your mouth envelope him. It's enough to throw him a blissful state, to think that the whole situation makes him giddy. He wants you, loves you and he has to tell you that (again). You suck him off with the bobs of your head, hair swishing with very fill of his cock in between your lip, you
take a look more than every once in a while, twice to know his reactions. To see him pleased makes you chuckle, the vibrations tickling his spine, slightly lifting his lower back off the bed, that type of sensation. It sends waves of the sea to his mind, he's lost in the pleasure you give to him. His eyes snap open when he feels it coming, he hurries to tell you before you let him tumble over the edge, bordering past the realm of intense sensuality, ''Wait-'', ''What is it?'' you ask, already thinking, knowing. ''I want to'', pause, ''be in you before I come'' said with determination which makes you nod furiously, smiling at him with giddiness. ''Huh?'', leaves your lips in confusion but you shouldn't. High standards, you think because you know that he will give it to you. Silver clouds, silver clouds. He nods, forgetting to tell you that he wants to have you on your back and eat you out. ''You know that time, when we were almost about to?'' you nod at his questions, fully aware at the memories that spring, fresh to the mind. They make you even more excited. ''This, I've wanted to do this for a long time.'' he says, eyes losing their innocence that you are so used to, taking on a darker form, not literally but the expression behind them. He wants to devour you and as much as you find that phrase funny, it's true. He's already in between your legs, licking a stripe, much to your back that lifts off the bed in a bed of arousal and that luscious moan that you let out, it fills his ears like music and urges him to continue on, till you've spilled on his tongue, crying out his name.
Zuho I Baek Juho:
He was irked by you, especially at first. ''Be cordial'' he said, the words that his mother always repeated to him when he couldn't instantly connect or figure out someone's personality. He didn't have to understand the world, yet he set out too. And you knew it, his curiosity and you thought that someday, it would land him in trouble. Wrong people, the police would say, sighing at the unfortunate instance of a man that landed in hot waters with the arduous gang in the area. ''Ran his mouth and look what happened'', the other police officer would say, letting out another sigh. But over time, you let this prejudice you had of him, dwindle. Now, you want to protect this person, at least to the best of your ability. His breath was taken away when he first saw you. He was also a fumbling person with a clumsy nature which he couldn't help but he could play his cards right, yes? Around you, he wasn't so sure. He was enticed by you, purely by his perception of beauty. But, not only because you are beautiful, you connect to people like that. Only this time, he felt as if children were deciding your fate, playing and dabbling your meetings in juvenility. You had seen him fall on his backside, getting up in an admirable manner; spill food on himself, did he need a bib? It was minor, cute occurrences to you which he thought of in distaste. He was a sweet guy, considerate because he would always think of other people, like telling you that he found a melody he composed which reminded him of you or bringing food for a heart-broken-by-their-ex-and-crying-terribly friend. You knew each other plenty. Your friends felt as if you needed a push and there came one, in a way that neither of you expected. No one knew about it after the event. Now that you are in bed on your day off, cuddling with Ju while watching a show together, giving live commentary in each other's ears while the mood calls for other things which forget the tv, you chuckle. But to recall, it's from a couple of years ago: at a party, you secure a room, purely by surprise do you stumble in there. You are buzzed, Ju walks out from the bathroom adjoining the room, looking at you with wide eyes, pausing in his step. ''What are you doing in here?'', ''What-?'' collide from your mouths in a frenzy. The room grows hot, maybe it's just your embarrassment that you can't stand straight. But he manages to catch you, taking huge steps with his arms extended just so your bottom does not hit the ground. You thank him and ask him to give you some space which you find comical. He's looking at you with worry plus, you are leaning against the door which he wants to walk past but is he going to say something? probably not. ''I'm good'', ''You sure?'', ''Yea why?'' and then something and then he drops you home. He chuckles to your fast-asleep, softly-snoring self, finding you just a tinsy bit adorable then. ''Thank you Ju'', ''It's okay'' he says, nonchalantly, ''Hey'', ''Yea?'', ''I want to try something'' you are smiling now, he's genuinely curious. You kiss him on the cheek and make your way out, not sure what to say, not sure whether to turn back. The next time he sees you, he kisses you.
Library sex? The most unrealistic because Ju can't keep his breathy moans to himself and the shelf, I don't think they can handle such forces ad the people? 911. But I didn't end up writing a blowjob into that story like I had planned, instead I have something to share: sucking Ju off in a library when's he trying to find a book/reading? It's hot, very, maybe it stems from yours and Ju's excitement, extra energy meshing in such a way that after an intense make-out session by the end of a bookshelf, you get on your knees and suck him off, arousal surging in your body and watching his expressions of pleasure. I guess the equally hotter thing would be if he pulled you up and made you sit on a table, bunching your bottoms wherever and getting on his knees, ''I'll make you feel happy'' which makes you think, is he drunk off excitement?. Surely yes, he chuckles when he hears your whimpers, entwining one hand that you squeeze every time his fingers touch your sweet spots.
Yoo Taeyang:
Because I'm a sap, every story here is more or less a love story anon!
Here's my train of thought: You drop off your keys on the table, stretching your neck from a short journey of driving but a long day of work, hoisting your arms up into the air, discarding your clothes in the hamper or wherever, calling out, ''Taeyang?''. ''I'm in here!'', he responds, namely the bedroom. You can already imagine him on his side of the bed, laptop on lap, maybe picking out a pub to go to and a movie for movie night, in his joggers and lose t-shirt. You are right, after all, it has been three and a half million years since you married this man. You walk right into your shared bedroom with only your underwear on. Taeyang distracts himself by occupying you on his mind, seeing your backside when you bend to pick something up from your closet. ''This isn't a porno Taeyang, I can feel your eyes on my butt.'' you murmur disapprovingly. ''I'm sorry'' he says, ignoring the way his groin stirs. You climb on the bed, moving towards him. Bigger the bed, bigger the journey to your favourite person's arms. A smaller bed would do, smaller distance then. ''How was your day?'', ''So we are doing this huh? It was good, thank you for asking.'', ''Tell me about it.'' he says, laughing, pulling you into his arms. You recount your memories, picking the funny ones. You sink into his arms, almost falling asleep. ''What did you do today?'' you ask, wanting to hear a funny story. ''I went to shop groceries, I met the housewives from two blocks over, I wanted to dash but I couldn't'', ''Why?'' you chuckle, continuing, ''Why did you want to dash?''. Taeyang has no interest in people except the you and neighbours and for a while, you've been encouraging him to make friends outside the radius of your area, if he's comfortable with it. ''They seem to judge very quickly, I can't stand stuff like that. Anyways, we got to know one another and now we have a reservation to eat at their pub next Thursday. If you are not okay, we can cancel it.'', he slows down at the last part ''Really?!'', you exclaim, you are extra-extra-extra happy for him. He's making friends! ''Is it that one we wanted to go to but couldn't?'' you ask, and he marvels at your excitement with a smile and gleaming eyes, thinking suspiciously that he does want to go there but, at what cost? He wants to go with you, not them. It's a beautiful train of thought. After the conversation, you lie in silence, peaceful as he shuts off his laptop and turns his attention to you. It starts with the hands on your waist, ''Pretty'', they move to your back, entering your shirt and snapping open your bra which by then, he's already kissing you, telling you that he wants you, intimately, especially with the way he's moulding his lips against yours, groaning into your mouth. ''Let me have you?'' is his question, you nod. he caresses your backside and then your cheek, legs on either side of your head, filling your mouth with his cock. It's a careful situation, he goes slow and with caution so as to not hurt you, it takes a while to set the rhythm which is fine by both, you want this but not by hurting yourselves. You've got a wide view of him and even a little eye contact sets him off, with a steady rhythm, he is throbbing with arousal, moaning at the way your mouth takes him. When it's the opposite, he prefers you stand or lean against a wall and that he is on his knees with his fingers deep inside of you, plunging in to meet your sweet spots while he sucks and licks your clit. Your view is so pretty, he always starts with little kitten licks, like it's his first time and then he buries his tongue in between your folds, lapping up every little juice he can find. It ends with you either riding him or on your hands and knees as he takes you from behind.
The true ending is when you cuddle after a second round and he refuses to get up because he wants to stay with you but eventually the knowing-better side of him wins and you take a shower together, the equally intimate situation out of everything. He rubs the knots on your shoulders away and gives you the best message to your scalp ever, it's soothing and this time you almost fall asleep (hehe). He also loves it when you do it for him: lather his body in soap and run your hands along it; knead the knots of tension in certain parts of his body, maybe his lower back or calves due to dancing all day and shampooing his hair while he rests on his chest (with his back to your chest or even curled up in between your legs, with his head on your tummy). If the two of you are up for it, he'll pour some wine or champagne or whatever it is that you both prefer and sit on the opposite side of the tub with your legs on his, probably massaging your sore legs after a long day of work and have the best conversations with you.
Hwiyoung I Kim Youngkyun:
Gentle baby
Let me elaborate: It goes without saying that you are his favourite person. Without hesitation (he can't help it), he'll smile when he sees you, even if you are just passing by, perhaps in a hurry or not, he has to smile at you and have a little conversation, ''Hey, what are you up to?'', ''Really?'' when you tell him and just like that, he has every reason to smile, to get that little boost you give him. Every conversation you have with him is fruitful for example, he loves inviting you to drink beer with him and if you don't like it but can tolerate it like me, he's absolutely open to trying new things like a wine tasting session and some people are drunk by the end but he's doing that thing, whereby his hand is hovering behind your back and he's cautious to pull you out of being dashed if a drunk person stumbles in your way. His eyes twinkle when he speaks to you, a gleam not malicious but out of curiosity to know you even more, he likes you, now what? When you weren't officially together, he felt as if he couldn't give you hugs as openly as he wanted to, maybe out of shyness, maybe out of hesitancy especially if you didn't like it. But he got to that point where he was comfortable around you, enough to side hug you when he met you, front hug when he met you but wanted to cuddle and back hugs for surprise. Take those three and apply them to the now, those are his ways of showing you affection. He loves to have you in his arms, close to you, no matter what mood he is in, if he's feeling gloomy, he'll fall into your arms when you pull him in for a hug and lean on your shoulder, nestling his head in between your neck particularly if he's not feeling okay. He loves you with all his heart! When you first have sex and all the times after that, you figure out that he's not rough neither does he have that capability to do that to you. If you want to, he'll try it out but sometimes, he'll slip back into loving you, holding your hands above your head when you release, gently coaxing an extra release one from you when he's eating you out on a day when you came back home tired. There's a lot to unpack here but don't worry, I got it~ On a day when you are tired, he'll love to eat you out, when you are on the sofa and you legs dangle of the edge, he'll sit there and dive his head in between your legs. He'll want to hold your hands when he hears you whimper or cry out his name, squeezing them in comfort as if to say, ''You are so great baby, you're doing so well, release when you want to.'' but don't forget, he going to absolutely tease you! Like, ''baby, there's something on your cheek'', ''huh?-oh'' and playfully push him as he takes you into his arms. It's your tears when he was pleasuring you. He not averted to the idea of you sucking him off when he's tired because he wants to cuddle you but in the morning! oh, if you suck him when you wake up, oh god. How does he handle it? He's moaning in no time, in your eyes it is quite exquisite to see, his expression in a haze, fluttering to the pleasure he's receiving, on some mornings, he comes faster than you've anticipated. To see you with a lack of clothes, he's turning you under him and placing kisses all over your body, slowly removing his jumper on yours to reveal your body. Trust me, he loves your body and if you aren't, he'll try to bring you into your element, it's okay if you aren't comfortable with your body but when you are, he'll move to your beat such as letting you ride his face after you sucked him that very morning. Or if you have a different dynamic, he would also love if you punished him (your dom side makes him nod like a compliant pretty boy, mewling to your orders) by not letting him touch you, he's going to be sulky then, ''I can't touch you?'', ''uh-huh'', ''why?'', ''It's your little punishment'', he proceeds to put his hands all over you, including slipping in between your folds just to prove his point that he doesn't like your punishment. He can be compliant but also act out, he thinks he's a bad boy~~ His favourite is to take you over the counter
but let's not lie here, he's perfectly happy with you sucking him off by the counter too, it's one of his favourite places in the house to have sex with you and he'll gladly return the favour by placing you it, on your back and coax one or two releases out of you. Then he may take you to the sofa, ''I know that you can do this baby'', ''Kyunnie?'', ''do you want to come back to this later on?'', ''It's okay'', ''you sure?'', was your conversation the first time around he had nearly coxed three to four releases out of you. He is proud of you, especially when he enters your warmth and settles beside you, slowly thrusting his hips against yours, filling you up and releasing into you, making love to you all the while.
Chani:
Expect all the love from him too, anon!
The fan, the acoustic ventilator and the window are all open, letting in fresh air from outside and circulating it in into your room. Not less than a couple of moments ago had Chani woken up and wrinkled his nose, shaking his head in groan that, ''You need to open the window y/n, otherwise the fan is only going to circulate the warm air that is in this room.''. You are fast asleep, feeling extra warm but asleep, regardless. When Chani was content with opening the sources that would cool the room, he sighed in relief and took of his shirt that was stained with sweat, tossing in into the hamper and getting into bed with you. ''It's too hot.'' you mumble, the stickiness of the humidity has perforated any desires of wanting to sleep in his arms. But Chani has other plans, he waits for you to adjust your position to one of laying on your back and then he proceeds to lay on your bare tummy, growing that baby smile of his when you clear the hair from his face and embrace him. ''If we go out, it'll be cooler.'', ''okay'' he mumbles, not liking the idea of moving one bit but he knows that it must be cooler outside, if not staying within these four walls. Neither of you move and moments later, the both of you have fallen asleep, softly snoring. Chani moves up to where your head is, you wake up with his hand splayed all over you. He's awake, only slightly, gazing at you through his fluttering eyelids, cheekily smiling, from one dimple to the other, you decide that you know what's on his mind from the way his hands move all over your body. The heat has simmered down, albeit momentarily before it rises again to make way for the sweltering afternoon heat. He caresses your side, lifting himself to place kisses all over your tummy + if you were doing it for the first time as a couple and if you have stretch marks, he would run his fingers over them and tell you, ''Don't be shy, they are pretty.'', the last words would be said with finality, with determination that you should know about the marks that cover your body make up your beauty as well. You are beautiful, he's trying to say. He would kiss your stretch marks, wherever they are (breasts, hands, legs, hips, back, wherever) even placing a light bite upon the area, proud that he has managed to elicit a chuckle, ''What are you doing?'' is your response and a stress-free posture as you lie in his arms. He wouldn't know how to say it properly but you would understand through his actions that like tattoos, your stretch marks are personal to you, they make up you and that there's nothing wrong with them, that they should be loved instead of following the social taboo against them. He trails kisses to your sex, experimentally lapping at the wetness and warmth you have to offer. He doesn't waste time, simply pulling out lube and warming up your sex with it, adding a finger or two. ''Babe'', ''Hmm?'', ''Stop here'', you say, grasping his hand. With that, he places his hands on the sides of your head, hovering over you, asking, ''How's my favourite girl doing huh?'' while kissing your temple when placing a condom on himself and entering you. He responds to your moans with some of his, revelling in the feeling of his cock within you. It's towards the end when he's got you in his arms, on the bed, facing one another, in an intimate embrace, tuning in to the sounds and immense feelings of one another that he pulls away, chuckling when he hears a whine from you. It's not a little whine either, ''Chani'' you mumble, grumbling yet excited, the latter which he can see all the same, ''Come here baby'' he murmurs in response, with a hint of a command, you know what that it's a give and take. You get on your knees and suck him off, gripping onto to the covers for the position that you are in is not the best because you can't multitask or ask. You go on till he tells you to pull out and you sit opposite each other, ''This isn't our first time trying it'' you laugh out'', you say, laughing which he mirrors, ''I know, I like watching you when we do this.'', ''What the-'', you start, he's laughing again
but
with that crinkly-at-the-eyes and smiling widely, gums-showing, heart-stopping type of laugh that you pause your fingers at your core, not realising that you are smiling as widely as him. It's the effect you have on each other. At the same time, you both call it, automatically. He's sitting opposite you, within an arms lengths, touching himself, stroking himself to the bring of a release and beyond, while you, you that he can see, that he wants to reach out to but is equally content watching you finger yourself and stimulate your clit to a similar, high-energy-taking release. Since the first time you've done this, the both of you have been drawn to watch or not, concentrating with your eyes shut or with encouraging eyes that also stimulate, greatly, ''You can do this babe, you are doing so well'', said by either of you, smiling when you see the other release. Afterwards, he'll just want to collapse into your arms, not letting go, energy spent well in the morning. In the kitchen, he'll brew a coffee or tea for you, cuddling you in his arms, spending this valuable time in silence, occasionally telling you a funny situation that had occurred when he was at work.

Series masterlist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She and Dean would always watch a movie together before they would go to bed. It was something of a tradition they had. After a case, they would pick a movie and watch it in Dean's room seeing as he had the bigger T.V. More often than not Dean would fall asleep before the end of the show leaving Y/N to turn it off before heading to her own room. Given the hard work he put into hunts and the fact that heâd usually be the one to drive them all home afterward, itâs not like he hadnât earned it. Y/N would rarely wait till the end of the show once she realized Dean had fallen asleep. She would silently turn off the T.V. and retreat to her room, but tonight was different.
She had dozed off slightly, still chiming in at the louder moments of the show or when Dean would laugh. After a while, she could hear the credits roll as Dean lifted a blanket over her shoulders. Y/N was in the state where she was aware of her surroundings but couldnât bring herself to move or make any noise so there was no point in trying to get up. She felt Dean slide down I put his head to his pillow, the blankets rustled slowly as Dean made an effort to stay quiet as not to wake her. The movie had fished, and the lights had been turned off and now, as she trailed off once again soothed by Deans breathing, he followed closely behind her, the both of them drifting off in tandem.
The dream, or more so dreams she had, were ones she had been familiarized with. Hunter dreams, one could call them. Images of monsters and ghosts, angels and demons, blood, death, and deals. But she had a favourite. It was always the last she would have before waking up, which was fitting considering how many times heâd saved her in real life.
Dean.
Y/Ns last and favourite dream was of Dean. The dream's plot was typically different front the last, but he was consistent in his appearance. Dean was always there. Y/N hadnât gotten that far in her dream cycle though. Not tonight.
She was awakened suddenly by a cry coming from behind her. The frightened girl spun over in her spot distinguishing Dean as he gripped the pillow, he was sleeping on in the darkness that surrounded them. It had taken her a moment to realize she had stayed in Dean's bed. He had been whimpering for minutes as she tried to shake him out of his nightmare.
âDean â Dean! Please wake up Dean. Itâs just a dream come on wake up, please Dean, please.â He finally woke, startlingly quick and flipped her over and pinning down her wrist. Growling, his face inches from her, anger in his eyes, his grip tight on her arms. She was terrified. Looking up at one of the only people she trusts, she spoke cautiously as not to startle him further, apprehensive of the situation she was in.
âDean? Itâs me...itâs Y/Nâ his eyes began to soften, aa his grip loosened, âIt was just a bad dream Dean, youâre okay, youâre safe.â Her voice was barely over a whisper. Dean moved his hands from her wrists, that had been left red from the tight grip he had them in, too alongside her, lowering his head to her shoulder as he brought himself closer to her body. He slowly rested himself on Y/Ns body hugging her desperately. She reciprocated the embrace reaching up around to him to hug him back slowly and hesitantly. She felt him shutter. It shattered her heart into a million pieces knowing that Dean was so broken, seeing only now how well he had covered it up around everyone else.
âShit! â Iâm sorryâ he sobbed still resting his head on her shoulder.
âDean, itâs okay, hey, donât worry about it, okay?â he nuzzled closer to her pulling her in tight. All she could do was close her eyes and hug him back, gripping tightly to his shirt. The two of them stayed there for a very long time. So long, in fact, that Y/N had pondered the possibility that he had maybe fallen back to sleep though she knew he hadnât, she could still feel the rigidity in his body. At once, Dean lifted his head and body off of her, turning away from her instantly.
âIâm sorry â this was â I- I really shouldnât have put that on you. Iâm sorry I kept you here, you probably want to go to your own room and sleep. And Iâm sorry for scaring you, really I didnât mean to hurt you it wasâ Iâm sorry.â He had sat up against the headboard avoiding eye contact, staring blankly at the sheets on his lap. Y/N sat up turning to face him, her shoulders leaning against the headboard. He looked exhausted.
âHow long have you been having nightmares?â He didnât say anything. âDean?â She whispered sliding her hand over his in an instinctive gesture of reassurance. He looked up at her when she did so, making her pull away quickly in realization.
âSorry.â He turned away again touching his own hand now where hers was just seconds ago. âIâve always had nightmares. Ever since I was a kid.â he looked like he was holding back tears, though she didnât mention it. Dean was the âTough Guyâ who would never shed a tear, which to Y/N made her even more worried about him at that moment, though he had just cried on her shoulder an instant ago.
âEvery night?â Â She questions. he shrugged as he reached up to drag his hand down over his face, bringing the potential tears with it.
âMost nights. That is when I manage to fall asleep.â
Y/N looked at him and all she wanted to do was hug him again, tighter, never letting go.
âI always left before they would come, wouldnât I?â He smirked sadly and nodded still looking down. âCan I be honest with you Y/N?â He had straightened out but still hadnât look her in the eyes.
âAlways, Dean thatâs what Iâm here for.â He paused for a second figuring out how to piece together his thought to make a comprehendible statement.
âI pretend.â She didnât understand what he was getting at and so she didnât answer hoping he would elaborate. He did so, after glancing at her briefly, almost as though he was looking for someone he knew was already there, he just had to make sure.
âOn our movie nights... I pretend to fall asleep. I pretend so that you would leave. That way you donât have to witness what you did tonight. Iâm sorry. And then tonight⊠I didnât want to wake you. I figured maybe Iâd be okay tonight. Guess I was wrong.â He was looking down at his covers again.
âDean, that doesnât even make sense. Why would you pretend if Iâd have left after the movie anyway?â He made a âgood pointâ frown and nodded his head.
âI just- I didnât want to accidentally fall asleep before you and have this whole situation happen. I was trying to avoid this, and it worked.â He looked disappointed but Y/N could tell it was with himself.
âDean why wouldnât you have just said youâre too tired for our movie nights. Itâs not like I would have blamed you I mean you deserve a little rest.â He looked up to her quickly with a desperate expression on his face.
âNo! I donât â I love our movie nights Y/N, theyâre great I donât wanna stop having them and ââ he sighed his look saddening again as she turned away from her. âMaybe youâre right. I shouldnât put you in that kind of situation, Iâm sorry.â
âHey! Donât make this about me, if you like our movie night then weâll keep âem going. Theyâre sorta the highlight of my day anyway. I donât care that you have issues, Winchester. I can deal with that but donât shut me out because youâre scared of whatâs behind the door. We can open it together; Iâm not ditching you because you have nightmares.â Y/Ns confession had done a great deal to lighten the mood. He was looking at her now and not just quick glances, he was holding eye contact. âWhy donât you go back to sleep Dean, try to get some rest, Iâll stay here, watch over you.â She shrugged rubbing Dean's shoulder in hopes of calming him and easing him into saying âyesâ.
âNo!â It didnât work. âItâll just happen again either you leave or Iâm not going to sleep.â He looked exhausted, pleading for her not to insist or her proposition any further.
âYou canât be sure itâll happen again Dean, who knows maybe your subconscious will be put at ease with knowing someone's there for you.â She was making a good case though he wasnât convinced.
âDonât you think that would have worked earlier?â Â Indeed, he had a point, but Y/N seemed to think otherwise.
âNo, because earlier you went to sleep thinking you had to protect me, now you can go to sleep while I protect you.â Dean looked more and more convinced with every word she said but never entirely persuaded. âDean youâre drained, you need to sleep, okay. If anything happens then I promise, I promise, I wonât push you any further. But you donât know until you try.â
After a pause and without a word Dean lay down pulling the covers up his chest, arms resting over himself, stiff as a board. He was too caught up with scenarios running through his head to notice Y/N's triumphant smile. She didnât move from her spot, leaning against the headboard watching Dean. His eyes had yet to close for more than the split second it took to blink, and Y/N couldnât help but find his stubbornness endearing as annoying as it might have been.
âSleep Dean, youâre safe, Iâm here.â
âThat's what Iâm worried about.â He side-eyed her or more so looked up to her without moving a singled tensed muscle. Y/N, without a word, took hold of his hand interlacing his fingers with her own and leaving it in his chest.
âSleep Dean.â Little did she know how much her hand in his relaxed him. Not that Dean had seen it coming but it was a reassuring gesture that took his mind off the occupying thoughts. Slowly but surely the burdened man that lay next to her fell into a restful sleep, Y/N not far behind. Her eyes drifted closed steadily as she lay on her side watching Dean's chest rise and fall, their fingers still interlocked.
Dean was skeptical of the idea, to begin with, but was in utter shock when he woke to Y/Ns alarm going off on her phone. To be fair, Y/N wasnât entirely convinced of the plan either but acted as those she believed to keep Dean from reacting poorly to her staying. Dean hastily turned off the blaring noise that persisted next to his ear before turning to face Y/N, whoâs hand was still lazily holding his. Dean couldnât help but smile, admittedly well-rested or at least more so than he would have been, had she listened to him and left. She was moving around trying to conjure the will to open her eyes, which eventually she did, immediately gazing into Deans. She could identify a mild smile as they lay facing each other.
âThank you.â He squeezed her hand which she was only now realizing was still being held. âFor stayingâŠFor being here for me, protecting me.â
âThatâs what Iâm here forâŠWas that my alarm?â He nodded at her still smiling. âWe should get up. I want pizza.â He chuckled at her sudden desire for Italian food.
âItâs 9 am and you want pizza?â
âIt was in my dream, we were eating pizza only it was really, really big and we couldnât finish it so we gave it to Sam who was actually a dog. It was weird, but now I want pizza.â He watched her get up and pick up her belongings as she explained.
âThat sounds like an awesome dream.â
âHow about you? More nightmares?â
âActually, no. For the first time in God knows how long; no nightmares. I didnât dream of anything as a matter of fact, which Iâm considering a huge win. Y/N, really, thank you.â
âNo need to thank me, Dean, itâs the least I could do. Iâm just glad it worked, and you managed to get a little shut-eye.â
âShut-eye! Are you kidding me I feel like I slept a full 8 hours!â
âThat's âcause you did. We got home around 7, ate dinner, the movie started at around 9 ish, you had your nightmare at around midnight, and it didnât take you very long to fall back asleep once you allowed yourself to relax Dean. You were passed out by 1 at the latest and woke up to the alarm 8 hours later.â
Dean looked astonished and overjoyed that he had managed to stay asleep for 8 hours.
âThatâs â wow! I slept!â Y/N couldnât help but laugh at Dean's good mood and the childish grin on his face. âWhat do say I get you that pizza, huh? As a way of thanking you.â
âDean I already told â no you know what, yeah I want pizza, letâs go.â She said as she marched out of his room set on heading to her own and changing out of her PJs.
âOkay, but weâre sharing! Y/N?â He yelled out after her, smiling to himself at the magic she pulled. Dean followed Y/Ns lead in getting changed and ready for the day.
They spent the day looking for cases and, with no luck, turned to the television to spare them of their boredom. Y/N and the brothers eventually called it a day after finishing the third or was it the fourth movie together. Y/N made her way to her room, as did the boys, to put on PJs after showering. She made her way back to the bathroom to brush her teeth and waved Sam goodnight as he slid into his room. There was a knock on the door and Y/N opened it, halfway through brushing her pearly whites, revealing a shy looking Dean.
âCah I hell ou?â Dean's expression went from shy to confused in just under a second.
âWhat?â Y/N took the toothbrush out of her mouth and spit out the rest.
âI said can I help you.â
âNo, you didnât you said kahlalala oooâ
âShut up, what do you want?â They laughed in unison before Dean settled down resorting back to the shy demeanour he initially had.
âI â Well I was sorta hoping that maybe, you know if youâre cool with it, that maybe you could come to my room and possibly stay there with me again tonight â I mean ââ
âAre you asking me to sleep with you?â She found her joke funny enough, unfortunately, Dean was too worried about asking her in the first place that he panicked.
âNo! Well, yes, technically but that not what I meant! I was justââ
âDean, oh my god, relax, I was just teasing. Of course, I will, in fact, I was about to head over to your room once I finished in here to see if you wanted company again tonight.â
âYou were?â
âUh-huh.â
âRight, yeah, okay.â
âAre we good?â
âYeah, yeah, super good.â
âOkey dokey then Dean-o, letâs goâ
Dean made a face to express his disapproval at the nickname she had appropriated for him as they made their way to his bedroom and successively got into bed. Once under the covers, Dean spoke, voicing his natural uncertainties.
âAre you sure about this?â
âAs long as you wear a condom.â Dean turned his head to face her, unamused by her joke, a frown on his face. She looked to him while doing her best to hide the smirk on her face though falling miserably.
âHey, you asked me here Dean.â
âY/N â what if I lose it tonight what I was just lucky last night.â
âDo you want to hold my hand?â Dean paused before answering.
âWould that be okay?â Without answering Y/N lifted her hand for Dean to take and he did.
âSleep, Dean. Youâll be fine.â
She was right once again. Dean awoke around four in the morning still holding Y/Ns hand, his body and in turn, face mere inches from hers. He hasnât managed to sleep in due to the 8 hours the night before and the uneventful day. He watched as she slept soundly. An hour passed before Dean decides to move, kissing her forehead after whispering a âThank you, sweetheart.â

The Birth of The Daily Show:
25 Years of Fake News and Moments of Zen
It was July of 1995 and I had left MTV to become President of Comedy Central. It was the basic cable equivalent of going from the NY Yankees to an expansion team. I was on the job just two weeks when I received a call from Brillstein Grey the high powered managers of Bill Maher, host of one of the networks few original programs, "Politically Incorrect". We were informed Bill and his show would leave the network when his contract expired in 12 months. It was a done deal. Bill wanted to take his show to the "big leagues" at ABC where he would follow Night Line. Comedy Central was left jilted. Terrible news for a network still trying to establish itself. We had a year to figure out how to replace him and the clock was ticking.
So began the path to The Daily Show.
It was very much a fledgling Comedy Central I joined, available in barely 35 million homes, desperately seeking an identity and an audience. It was just over three years old, born into a shot gun wedding that joined two struggling and competing comedy networks, HBOâs Comedy Channel and Viacomâs HA!,
Watching them both stumble out of the gate, the cable operators forced them to merge, telling them: "We only need one comedy channel, you guys figure it outâ.
After some contentious negotiations the new channel was born and the red headed step child of MTV and HBO set out to find the pop culture zeitgeist its parents had already expertly navigated. The network had yet to define itself. The programming consisted mainly of old stand up specials from the likes of Gallagher (never underestimate the appeal of a man smashing watermelons), a hodgepodge of licensed movies (âThe Godâs Must be Crazy and The Cheech and Chong trilogy were mainstays) and Benny Hill reruns. The networks biggest hit by far was the UK import âAbsolutely Fabulousâ, better know as âAbFabâ. Comedy Central boasted a handful of original shows, including the wonderfully sublime "SquiggleVision" of âDr. Katzâ, the sketch comedy "Exit 57" (starring the then unknown Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert) and of course Maherâs "Politically Incorrect". In retrospect I donât think Bill got enough credit for pioneering the idea of political comedy on mainstream TV. Back then he was the only one doing it.
Politically Incorrect performed just fine, but got more critical attention than ratings. It was a panel show, and I had something a bit different in mind to replace it. I knew we needed a flagship, a network home base, something akin to ESPN's Sports Center where viewers could go at the end of a the day for our comedic take on everything that happened in the last 24 hoursâŠ.."a daily show". I had broad idea for it in my head. I would describe it as part "Weekend Update", part Howard Stern, with a dash of "The Today Show" on drugs complete with a bare boned format to keep costs low so we could actually afford to produce it. We could open with the headlines covering the day's events (our version of a monologue), followed by a guest segment (we wouldn't need to write jokes...only questions!), and finish with a taped piece. Simple, right? We just needed someone to help flesh out our vision.
Comedy Central was a a second tier cable channel then and considered a bit of a joke (no pun intended). It had minuscule ratings, no heat and even less money to spend. Producers were not lining up to work with there. Eileen Katz ran programming for the channel and the two of us began pitching this idea to every producer who would listen. One of the first people we approached was Madeleine Smithberg, an ex Letterman producer and had overseen "The Jon Stewart Show" for us at MTV. We thought she was perfect for the role. âYou canât do this, you canât afford this, you don't have the stomach for this, it will never work â Madeliene said when we met with her. We could not convince her to take the gig. Ok then....we moved on. The problem was we heard that same refrain from everybody. No one wanted the job. So after weeks being turned down by literally EVERYONE, I said to Eileen: âWe have to go back to Madeleine
and convince her to do this with us"!
Part our pitch to her was we would go directly to series. There would be no pilot. The show was guaranteed to go on air. We had decided this show was our to be our destiny and we had to figure it out come hell or high water. As a 24 hour comedy channel, if we couldn't figure out a way to be funny and fresh every day...what good were we? We told Madeliene we were committed to putting the show on the air and keeping it there till we got it right (for at least a year anyway). That, plus some gentle arm twisting got her to sign on. Shortly after that, Lizz Winstead did too.
Madleiene and Lizz very quickly landed on their inspired notion of developing the show and format as a news parody. It brought an immediate focus and a point of view to the process . All of the sudden things started to take shape and coming to life. Great ideas started flowing fast and furious while an amazing collection of funny and talented began to come on board. Madeliene and Lizz were off to the races. Now all we needed was a host.
The prime time version of ESPN's Sports Center was hosted by Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann back then and it was must see cable TV. But I had recently started to notice another guy hosting the show's late night edition. He was funny, with a snarky delivery reminiscent of Dennis Miller. His name was Craig Kilborn. On the phone with CAA agent Jeff Jacobs one day, I asked if he knew happened to know who repped him? âI do" he said. "We just signed himâ. Within days he was in my office along with Madeleine, Lizz, and Eileen who were all a bit skeptical about the tall blond guy with the frat boy vibes sitting across from them. After opening the meeting with a few off color comments that would probably get him cancelled today (an early warning sign fo sure), Craig ultimately won them over and we had our host.
FUN FAC#1: Minutes after the news of Craig's hiring went public, Keith Olberman's agent called me directly to ask why we hadn't considered hiring him?
Ok, we had a host and producers...but what to call it? After sifting through dozens of ideas for a title, Madeleine called me one day and said, "I think we should just call it what we've been calling it all along...."The Daily Show".
As we approached our launch date we taped practice shows and took them out to focus groups to get real life feedback. The groups hated it.... I mean with a red hot hate. They hated Craig, the format, the jokes, everything. We were crushed and dejectedly looked around at the room at one another. "Now what?" âEither theyâre wrong, or we are". I said I think they are...but it doesnât matter, we're doing this!" We never looked back.
The show took off quickly garnering some quick buzz and attention, we felt like we had crashed the party. Well, sort of. We had no shortage of fun, growing pains and drama along the way. The Daily Show version 1.0 was about to unravel. In a December 1997 magazine interview Craig made some truly offensive and inappropriate remarks about Lizz and female members of the staff. Whether it was poor attempt at humor or just plain misogynist (or both) is beyond the point. It was all wrong, very wrong. Craig was suspended for a week without pay. Lizz left the show. In the moment I chose to protect the show and its talent more so than Lizz. That was wrong too. It's more than cringe worthy looking back now, and I regret not making some better decisions then.
My loyalty to our host was later "rewarded" when in the Spring of 1998 Kilborn's team, a la Bill Maher, unceremoniously informed us he had signed a deal to follow Letterman on CBS when his contract expired at the end of the year. No discussion, a done deal. Comedy Central jilted again. Like Maher, Kilborn wanted his shot at the network big leagues and we had a little over six months to figure out how to replace him. We all know how that chapter ended. That search would eventually reunite us with Jon Stewart who along with The Daily Show took Comedy Central and basic cable to the "the big leagues" on their own terms, redefining late night comedy in the process The rest, as they say, is "Fake News" history.
Fun Fact #2: before approaching Jon (who I did not originally think would be interested) I initially offered the job to a chunkier, largely unknown Jimmy Kimmel, fresh off his co hosting duties on "Win Ben Stein's Money" ...only to have him turn us down.
My fascination with late night began as a kid. I remember how exciting it was to stay up to sneak a peek at the Carson monologue and watch him do spit takes with his chummy Hollywood guests. Later on I also loved the heady adult conversation Dick Cavett would have with everyone from Sly Stone to Groucho Marx. But it was the comedic revolution of Saturday night Live in 1975, followed by Letterman's game changing show in 1981 that truly established late night as the coolest place on the television landscape. I could only dream of one day being part of it.
25 years on, I couldnât be more proud of The Daily Show and its legacy. Those days helping build it alongside Madeleine, Lizz, Eileen and the team were among the most satisfying (and fun) experiences I have ever had. It was thrilling to take a shot at the late night landscape and try and make our mark, especially when no one thought we could.
I am prouder still of what Trevor Noah and his staff have achieved since they took the hand off from Jon, evolving and growing the show through a new voice and lens. I think my personal "Moment Of Zen" will last as long as Trevor remains behind the desk, allowing me to selfishly boast of having hired every host this award winning and culture defining franchise has ever had.
25 years later. it remains as relevant as ever, a bona fide late night institution, standing shoulder to shoulder with all the great shows that inspired us to start.

Emily had just called me and told me to come to the office. I dropped everything immediately and rushed to work. I just knew it was something about Spencer. God I hope heâs okay⊠As soon as I got there I rushed into her office, Rossi was already in there.Â
âEmily, I came as fast as I could. Whatâs happened? Is Spencer okay?â I asked, worry clearly in my voice.Â
âThank you for coming Y/N, Fiona and I went to see Reid.â She said.Â
âAnd? Is he okay?â I asked.Â
âHe said his Mother was in trouble.â She said and I looked at her confused.Â
âWere Reid and Diana scheduled to have a visit?â Rossi asked.Â
âHe didnât think so, but it happened anyway.â Emily answered.Â
âWhat did Cassie say?â I asked.Â
âCassie didnât bring Diana. Another nurse did, a Carol Atkinson.â She answered and I looked at her confused.Â
âCassie would never let another nurse take care of her.â I said.Â
âGarciaâs running a search on the name now, but itâs an alias.â She said.Â
âFor who?â Rossi asked before I could.Â
âLindsey Vaughn.â She said.Â
âLindsey Vaughn? From that case in Chula Vista ten years ago?â Rossi asked.
âYou remember it.â Emily said.Â
âBut how could it be her now? And why?â He asked.Â
âI asked him the same thing.â She said.Â
âAnd how did that go?â He asked.Â
âHe slammed the table and ended up being escorted out by guards.â She said and I bit my lip. My poor SpencerâŠÂ Â
âAny chance heâs wrong?â Rossi asked.Â
âWell, Reid did smell Scratchâs drugs before the murder, and he said there was another woman in the room with them.â She said.Â
âNo, thereâs no way he could be wrong, this is Spencer weâre talking about!â I said and they sighed.Â
âWell, if Lindsey took Diana to visit, whereâs Cassie?â Rossi asked.Â
âWe donât know. Her phone goes straight to voicemail, sheâs not returning texts either. Y/N, when was the last time you talked to her?â She asked me.Â
âUm, a few weeks ago. She was giving me updates about Diana and said that I should come and visit, that it might help her.â I answered. I was now regretting not visiting her sooner, who knows what might be happening to her nowâŠÂ
âAnd Garcia pinged it?â Rossi asked.Â
âShe tried, but the battery must be dead. The GPS was turned off. Walker and JJ are on their way to Reidâs apartment now.â Emily said.Â
âI should be going with them.â I said, but Emily shook her head.Â
âYouâre too close to this Y/N.â She said.Â
âWeâre all close to this Emily.â I said and she sighed.Â
âI know, but I canât send you out there until we have something.â She said and I sighed. I understood why, but I just wanted to help Spencer and save Diana if she was really in trouble.Â
âSo what if this has been a Scratch-Lindsey partnership this whole time?â Rossi asked.Â
âIf thatâs true, given his mental state, Iâm not sure Reid makes it to trial.â Emily said and I felt my heart break.Â
âI-I need to see him.â I said and Emily shook her head.Â
âYou canât right now, heâs not being allowed visitors.â She said and I bit my lip to keep from crying.Â
âHey, heâll be alright.â Rossi said and I nodded.Â
âHere, take some paperwork to keep you distracted, Iâll call everyone in when we get news from JJ.â Emily said and I nodded. I took the papers and went to my desk. I needed to keep my mind off Spencer, but that was probably the hardest thing to do.Â
It was maybe ten minutes later when I heard someone walk up to my desk. I looked up and saw Garcia giving me a sad smile. I returned the smile and she pulled me in for a hug.Â
âEmily wants us in the round table room.â She said and I nodded.Â
âIs Diana okay?â I asked.Â
âWe donât know yet...â She answered and I bit my lip once again. We all sat down and everyone gave me a sad smile. I wanted this done with, I wanted the pitty looks to go away. I wanted everything to go back to normal.Â
âWe first came across the Vaughns ten years ago when Lindsey Vaughn and her friend Katie Owen were abducted outside of a crowded movie theater by three men.â Emily said as Garcia handed us the files.Â
âRyan Phillips, the traidâs dominant, tortured and strangled Katie.â Rossi said.Â
âJack Vaughn then took matters into his own hands, using his skills to find Lindsey.â Emily said.Â
âIt ended when Jack murdered Phillips in front of her and Reid.â Rossi said.Â
âThey let him stay in the program after that?â Luke asked.
âJack was too important a witness to cut loose.â Rossi said.Â
âAnd no oneâs heard from either of them till now?â Tara asked.Â
âThatâs right.â Emily said with a nod.Â
âLindsey was posing as a nurse named Carol Atkinson, and was able to get Diana Reid in and out of the Millburn Correctional Facility.â Garcia said, pulling up the prisonâs security video.Â
âAnd despite all the cameras, this is the only one that picked her up.â Rossi said.Â
âSo she knew exactly where they were and how to avoid them.â I said. The phone started ringing and Garcia immediately answered it.Â
âPlease tell me you have good news.â She said.Â
âWell, Diana and Cassie arenât here.â JJ said.Â
âThereâs no forced entry and no signs of struggle. And Cassieâs car is gone.â Walker answered.Â
âGarcia, where are we on that APB of her car?â Emily asked.Â
âI don;t have anything yet.â She answered.Â
âOkay. Also, search recent traffic in and out of Reidâs apartment. Lindsey probably entered as Carol.â Emily said.Â
âCopy, copy.â She said and got to work.Â
âI know Dianaâs routen, I should go out there.â I said.Â
âNo Y/N, youâre not allowed to investigate this outside of this office, not yet.â Emily said. I was growing desperate, I needed to help Spencer.Â
âI know her routen too, Stephen and I will hit up those places first.â JJ said and hung up.Â
âThe rest of us need to find Lindsey ASAP.â Emily said.Â
âI know a marshal that can help cut through Witsecâs red tape.â Luke said and walked off.Â
âYeah, Iâm friendly with some people at Homeland Security.â Tara said, also walking off.Â
âI got a buddy at the DOJ, lost a lot of money to him at poker. He owes me.â Rossi said.Â
âGarcia, there was degraded female DNA and prints found at the crime scene. No matches in Codis, but there might be something in Witsec.â Emily said.Â
âIâll pull every favor, turn every stone.â Garcia said and walked off.Â
âAre we gonna tell Spencer?â I asked.Â
âNot yet. I donât want to add more stress for him.â Emily said. Rossi walked off to go see his friend.Â
âEmily, you need to give me something to do. I canât just sit here and do nothing and we both know I canât just go home.â I said following her into her office.Â
âGo help Garcia, I canât let you go out there right now, Iâm sorry.â She said and I nodded.Â
âI get it, Iâm way too close to him, more than you guys are, but when it comes time to go out there and do something I need to be there too.â I said and she nodded.Â
âI wouldnât keep you from that.â She said and I nodded.Â
I was helping Garcia with whatever she needed. I wasnât as tech savvy as she is, but I was good enough to help out. We were working on anything that could give us a lead when her phone rang.Â
âGarcia.â Luke said.Â
âWhat do you need?â She asked.Â
âMetro P.D. found Cassieâs car and called it in immediately. No signs of her or DIana. No foul play. There are⊠There are three visible cameras. One nearby and two down the way.â Luke said.
âI can tap into them, see what I can find.â Garcia said getting to work.Â
âOh, oh, oh, uh, Walker and JJ are calling in. You want me to patch you through?â She asked.Â
âPlease.â He said and we were all in the call now.Â
âWalker, JJ, youâre on with Alvez, me, and Y/N.â She said when she answered.Â
âHey guys, no luck finding Cassie or Diana.â Walker said and my heart sank.Â
âAlright, well, Iâm at Cassieâs car right now. Forensically, itâs a dead end, but, us, behaviorally we might have something.â Luke explained. Itâs parked down the block from a high school.â Luke said.Â
âA high school is where Jack Vaughn killed Lindseyâs abductor in front of her and Spencer.â JJ said.Â
ïżœïżœWell, placing the car there could be a taunt at us.â Walker said.Â
âThatâs what Iâm thinking.â Luke said.Â
âI can look into that. I can- Oh!â Garcia said cutting herself off. I looked over at her screen to see what was happening.Â
âGarcia?â JJ asked.Â
âOh, uh, uh, per Emily, I was supposed to look at the recent foot traffic in and out of Reidâs building. There is no sign of Carol Atkinson, but a Jaime Lamantia keeps popping up. She lives in unit 26 down the hall from Ried. She paid six months of her rent up front in cash, and thereâs been not a peep from her since.â She said and I looked at the document she pulled up with wide eyes.Â
âHowâs Jaime connected to Lindsey?â Luke asked.Â
âJaime is LindseyâŠâ I said shocked.Â
âIâm twenty minutes from Reidâs apartment.â Luke said.Â
âYeah, weâre ten.â JJ said and they were on their way.Â
âI-I have to go out thereâŠâ I said.Â
âNo, you can't, Emily said you canât.â Garcai said.Â
âThis is my boyfriend weâre talking about! I have to do something!â I said, tears threatening to fall. Garcia pulled me in for a hug and held me tightly.Â
âI know hun, but weâll get her.â She said.Â
Emily came in and caught us up, Cassie was dead. Lindsey killed her and took Diana. Spencer was right. Emily went back to her office to have a meeting with Luke and his friend, but I followed and stayed in the bullpen.Â
âIâm going to the prison. Reid deserves to know everything.â Emily said walking out.Â
âIâm coming with you.â I said.Â
âY/N, you know you-âÂ
âEmily please, I need to see him. I need to know heâs okay.â I begged, cutting her off. She looked at me and sighed.Â
âAlright, letâs go.â She said and off we went to the prison.Â
âWait here, Iâll give you two some time once I finish telling him okay?â She asked and I nodded. Emily was inside and they were talking. Spencer walked up to the door and banged on it. I stopped the guard from opening it and I opened it instead.Â
âY-Y/N?â Spencer asked shocked. Itâs the first time weâve seen each other since he was arrested.Â
âSpencer, oh my GodâŠâ I said with tears in my eyes. I knew the rules, I knew I wasnât allowed to touch him, but I didnât care. I threw my arms around his neck and buried my head in his chest.Â
âHey, no touching allowed.â The guard said.Â
âItâs alright.â Emily said walking over to us.Â
âYou two have until I come back, then we leave Y/N.â She said and I nodded. Spencer and I walked back into the room and once again hugged him.Â
âIâve missed you so muchâŠâ I said finally letting the tears Iâve been holding back for so long free. Spencer wrapped his arms around me and it felt like home.Â
âIâm so so sorry about your Mom Spence, but I swear to you that I will find her no matter what. Even if it costs me my job I will find her.â I said gently caressing his cheek.Â
âDoes she know about us?â He asked referring to Lindsey.Â
âYesâŠâ I answered.Â
âYou need to stay away from this.â He whispered.Â
âYou know I canât do that.â I whispered back.Â
âYou need to, I canât be the reason you get hurt.â He said.Â
âIâll be find Spence, everything will be fine.â I said. I leaned up to kiss him, but he pulled away from meâŠÂ
âYou need to go. You need to stay off this case, you need to work on something else.â He said turning his back to me.Â
âYou know I will not do that. I wonât stop until youâre free and your Mother is home safe!â I said. I stared at his back in shock, Spencer had changed⊠The door opened and Emily walked in.Â
âItâs time to go Y/N.â She said and I nodded.Â
âI promise Spence, weâll find her and get you out of here.â I said before leaving the room with Emily.Â
âHowâd it go?â She asked.Â
âNot as well as I hopedâŠâ I quietly answered.Â
âHeâll come around.â She said and I just nodded. Why would he want me to stop? Why wouldnât he want to kiss me? Why wouldnât he be happy to see me?Â
We made it back to the office and Emily went straight for the roundtable room. I was still in a daze, but I followed her in. The team was there walking and Rossi looked up at us when we walked in.Â
âHowâd it go with Reid?â He asked.
âAs expected. He thinks Lindseyâs using her fatherâs gun as a way to carry on his legacy.â Emily said.Â
âMakes sense, given her Daddy issues.â Rossi said.Â
âAnd I spoke to the Warden about putting Reid in protective custody, but he said no.â Emily said and I sighed.Â
âOkay, more ballistics literally just came in on Jack Vaughnâs gun, and, oh my goodness, Lindsey has been a busy evil bee.â Garcia said.Â
âHow busy?â Tara asked.Â
âThat gun has been involved in fifteen murders in the last five years.â She answered.Â
âSingle shot to the back of the head with a modified hollow-point.â JJ said.
âThatâs our Lindsey.â Rossi said.Â
âYou guys see the geographical pattern? All of the kills are along the U.S-Mexico border.â JJ said.Â
âAnd each of the victims have apparent Cartel ties.â Garcia.Â
âSo, Lindseyâs been a Cartel hit woman ever since she left the program.â Tara said.Â
âOkay, but why is she using her Dadâs gun? That helps us, and itâs risky for her.â Garcia asked.Â
âItâs an impulse, not a choice.â I said. We continued talking, but we came up with nothing so we all went to get coffee.Â
âWhy would Scratch choose Lindsey? I mean, her ties to Reid are distant.â Tara said.Â
âWalker and I, we kicked it around on the flight, and we imagine that Scratch was digging further into Reidâs past and he saw that Lindsey had become a contract killer. Realized she could get to him in a way that he couldnât.â Luke said.Â
âIt may be logistical, too. Scratch has never run out of drugs before, but now heâs a fugitive and might not be able to get them.â Walker said.Â
âWell, Lindsey knows the border. Sheâd be a good drug mule.â JJ said as I was making myself a second coffee.Â
âGood news, bad news.â Emily said walking up to us and I immediately turned towards her.Â
âI am on the books first thing tomorrow with Judge Frost and AUSA Martinez.â Emily said.Â
âBut all we have is a theory and no support from the brass.â Rossi said.Â
âThatâs never stopped us before.â She said. Â
âI guess we gave twelve hours to make an airtight case for you to bring to them.â I said.Â
âYes. Not only that, we also need a paper trail.â Emily said.Â
âIâll put on more coffee.â Rossi said.Â
âExcuse me.â Emily said and went to take a call.Â
âY/N, you should go get some sleep.â Rossi said to me and I shook my head.Â
âThere is no way Iâm going home when Spencer is stuck in that prison and Diana is who knows where.â I said taking a sip of my coffee.Â
âI will inject coffee straight into my veins before I go to sleep.â I said and walked off to the round table room. Soon everyone followed and we were all looking for anything we could find.Â
âWe leave no stone unturned.â Emily said walking in with Garcia and a box. She started handing out files and we got to work.Â
âHey, guys.â Tara said after an hour and a half.Â
âOkay. I got Carol Atkinson crossing the border at Los Indios.â She said.Â
âThereâs a factory nearby that manufactures non-FDA-approved seasickness tablets. Essentially, scopolamine pills.â She said walking over to the map.Â
âLos Indios is only a 40-minute drive to Matamoros.â Luke said.Â
âLooks like weâve got Lindsey where we need her.â Rossi said.Â
âNow we put the knife in her hand.â Emily said. We continued working, trying to get anything to match with Lindsey and that would be able to set Spencer free. I must have drank at least six coffees, maybe more. It was light out now, but none of us cared.Â
âRick, what have you got?â Luke asked, answering his phone.Â
âWell, okay, guys, Jackâs gun was used in Mexico the day before Nadieâs murder.â JJ said.Â
âWhat? Another Cartel hit?â I asked.Â
âNo, the victim was a Victor Flores. He was a local real estate broker, a model citizen.â She said.Â
âPoint-blank. Back of the head, with a modified hollow-point bullet. Thatâs Lindsey, alright.â Rossi said looking at the file.Â
âWhy are we only hearing about it now?â Walker asked.Â
âBecause it was in Monterrey. Itâs a different jurisdiction.â JJ answered.Â
âOkay, so, she crosses the border at Los Indios, which is very close to Matamoros, drives three hours west to Monterrey, kills Victor, and then drives four hours east to Matamoros?â Tara asked confused.Â
âAll possible within a dayâs drive.â Walker said.Â
âSure, but why go to all the trouble?â Tara asked.Â
âWhy pick Victor Flores?â Emily asked.Â
âIt sounds too random to be randomâŠâ I said shaking my head.Â
âAlright. Alright, thanks, Rick. I owe you.â Luke said and hung up.Â
âMexican authorities found an abandoned truck last week that matches the one Reid described. It was dumped two states over.â Luke said.Â
âDid it belong to a Victor Flores?â JJ asked.Â
âYeah, howâd you know that?â He asked.Â
âLindsey killed him before Nadie. Must have stolen his truck too.â Rossi said.Â
âAlright, well, weâre making some real headway here.âLuke said.Â
âYeah, itâs great guys, donât get me wrong, but itâs all circumstantial. Garcia, any luck finding Lindseyâs prints from her Witsec file?â Emily asked.Â
âI called in every favor I can think of and then some. Itâs gonna take me, like, five more hours to cut through all this red tape.â Garcia answered.Â
âI have to be at the courthouse in one.â Emily said and we continued to go back to work.Â
Emily left soon after and we all kept working. We hoped that we could get something in time, but the odds were against us. An hour later my phone rang and I saw Emilyâs name pop up on my screen.Â
âEmily?â I answered confused and everyoneâs eyes were on me.Â
âI need you to go to the prison that Reid is at and bring him home.â She said and my eyes started to water.Â
âA-Are you serious?â I asked.Â
âI am, bring him home Y/N.â She said and I hung up immediately.Â
âWhatâs going on?â Garcia asked.Â
âI have to go, I have to go get Spencer.â I said with a smile.Â
âHeâs coming home?â JJ asked and I nodded.Â
âYeah.â I nodded and everyone smiled.
âIâm coming with you.â JJ said.Â
âMe too, I gotta take care of something there.â Luke said.Â
âIâm coming too!â Garcia said and I just nodded at them. I quickly gathered my stuff and rushed to my car. My Spencer was finally coming home. They were driving in a separate car from me. I got to the prison as quickly as I could and soon after they brought me to a room with Spencer standing there. Spencer saw me and smiled slightly.Â
âWeâre taking you home baby.â I said with a smile and a tear falling down my face. He looked relieved and I rushed over to hug him.Â
âYouâre coming home Spence.â I whispered. He held me tightly and started sobbing. I held him tightly. He kissed the side of my head and everything just felt so right in that moment. Spencer got dressed in the suit we brought him and we walked out to see Garcia standing there waiting. He went up and hugged her and I smiled.Â
âLetâs get my Mom back.â He said.Â
âYeah.â Garcia said and we all left. We got back to the office and we were catching Spencer up on everything.Â
âSo we know Lindsey convinced Scratch to run drugs across the border.â Luke said.Â
âAnd that Lindseyâs been operating from to locations- An apartment next to Reid and a house in southeast D.C.â Rossi said.Â
âThatâs where we think sheâs keeping your Mom.â Walker said.Â
âScratch isnât afraid to plot an elaborate trap. I want a full breakdown of that house before we set one foot inside.â Emily said and everyone walked off, except for Spencer and I.Â
âUm⊠SpencerâŠâ Emily said stopping us and closing the door.Â
âYou canât officially go until youâre reinstated.â She said.Â
âSo that includes going to my apartment, since itâs a crime scene.â Spencer said.Â
âThatâs right. Itâs sealed and guarded by Metro P.D. But you are the resident. You got it?â She said.
âGot it.â He said and she left. Spencer took a step up to the closed door, but just stared at it.Â
âAre you alright?â I asked and he looked at me.Â
âUm⊠itâs, uh, itâs open.â I said and he looked back at the door.Â
âOf course.â He said and opened the door. We went to Spencerâs place and I had to show the guard my badge.Â
âHeâs the resident. Heâs just gonna grab a few things.â I said and the cop nodded. Spencer sat on his couch and started looking at an open photo album.Â
âWhat is it?â I asked.Â
âThis picture was on a different page.â He said and picked it up. He flipped it over and on the back in red it said XX-XY.Â
âDoes that mean anything to you?â I asked.Â
âOnly the obvious, male and female chromosomes, Lindseyâs way of telling us sheâs with Scratch.â He said and I sighed.Â
âLetâs grab some things and you can stay at my place.â I said.Â
âYeahâŠâ He said. We grabbed a bag of clothes and dropped them off at my apartment. Emily had called me and told me all about what was going on. Spencer had to go back to prison to see Cat Adams. I was going with him. We got on the jet and made our way to Car Adams. We walked into the other side of the interview room, we saw Cat sitting at the table. I saw Spencer was comfortable, but this was the only option to find his mother right now.Â
âIâll be here the whole time, promise.â I said and gently grabbed his hand. He nodded and walked inside, I followed, but stayed in the back.Â
âSpencie.â Cat said with a smile.Â
âWhereâs my Mother?â He asked.Â
âI missed you.â She said.Â
âWhat did you and Lindsey do to her?â He asked, ignoring her.Â
âHow did you-â
âNo stop! You donât get to walk in here and hiss at me like Iâm the criminal.â She said cutting him off.Â
âNow, we do this my way.â She said and kicked the chair in front of her. Spencer caught it as she told him to sit. Spencer sat as I stayed on the side watching.Â
âHow was Prison? Did you like it?â She asked.Â
âNo.â He answered.Â
âItâs not fun, is it?â She asked.Â
âUnlike you, I didnât deserve to be there.â He said.Â
âHow did you stay sane?â She asked leaning closer. I was confused as to who she was or what her and Spencerâs past connection was. Her case was before I was even on the team. I had only joined three years ago and Spencer and I have only been together for two.Â
âA brain like yours needs stimulation in such a gray place.â She said.Â
âI worked in the laundry room and I played chess.â He answered.Â
âThatâs three, maybe four hours, tops. What about the other twenty?â She asked.Â
âI read.â He answered.Â
âThatâs still not enough. You have to⊠go someplace. Up here.â She said looking at me for a split second.Â
âOr else you go crazy.â She said with a slight laugh.Â
âDo you want to see where I go? Iâll show you. Com here.â She said, motioning him to come closer. Spencer leaned in closer and she went to touch his face.Â
âNo touching.â I said and she stopped. Spencer looked at me then back at her and she smirked at me.Â
âClose your eyes.â She said and moved his eyes to close them.Â
âGood. Now keep them shut. Sit back and relax.â She said leaning back in her chair. Spencer also leaned back.Â
âNow, when you open your eyes, I want you to look at me like Iâm the first woman youâve seen after being in prison for three month.â She said and my heart clenched at this. She looked at me and smirked then looked back at him.Â
âNow⊠Open.â She said and he did.Â
âHello Cat.â He said with a smile.Â
âYouâre here!â She giggled.Â
âYouâre really here.â She said.Â
âThereâs nowhere else I would rather be.â Spencer said and I took a deep breath, this is what he needs to do to get the information.Â
âYouâre good at this. Youâre so good at this, I almost believe you donât want to kill me.â She said crossing her arms.Â
âI donât want to kill you.â He said.Â
âNo?â She asked.Â
âNo.â He said, shaking his head. Â
âWhat if I let your Mother die? Then would you kill me? Or would you just⊠hurt me? Would you pin me down and leave bruises that donât go away?â She asked with a very sexual tone.Â
âIs that what you want?â He asked and my eyes widened slightly. Â
âI guess I just want to know if you would.â She said and glanced at me with a smirk.Â
âIf you could.â She said looking back at him.
âNo.â He said.Â
âNo?â She asked.Â
âThatâs not the kind of man I am.â He said.Â
âDo me a favor and tell your girlfriend over there to step aside, because weâre gonna play another game. And this time, weâre going to find out exactly what kind of man you are. Iâm sure sheâll love to watch that.â She said. Spencer looked over at me and gave me a nod. I didnât feel comfortable leaving Spencer alone with her, but I left anyway and she gave me a wave goodbye. I was now watching from behind the glass, luckily I could still hear them.Â
âLetâs play.â He said.
âLetâs!â She said excitedly.
âAre you hungry?â She asked him.Â
âNo.â He answered.Â
âMe neither.â She said.Â
âSo, the same game as last time?â He asked leaning back in the chair.Â
âI answer every question you ask honestly?â He asked.
âNo, this time you get to ask the questions.â She said.Â
âAbout what?â He asked.Â
âWell, I know a secret. About you. And you can ask me as many questions as you like to figure it out. But you only get one guess as to what it is.â She said leaning forward.Â
âNow, guess correctly, I take your phone, I call our friend Lindsey, and I tell her to release your Mother unharmed. If you don'tâŠâ She said and put her fingers into a gun shape and stuck it in her mouth. She then mimed like she was getting shot and giggled.Â
âIs there a clock?â Spencer asked.Â
âThereâs always a clock.â She said and put her hand out.
âGive it to me.â She said. Spencer took off his watch and handed it to her.Â
âYouâll have four hours.â She said and he went to ask a question, but she stopped him.Â
âNot yet.â She said. Â
âYou have to wait till the second hand comes around.â She said.Â
âYou want to give me a hint before we start?â Spencer asked.Â
âDo I look like a girl that gives hints?â She asked.Â
âActually you do.â He said.
âOkay, how about this? Itâs a secret youâll never admit to.â She said and I furrowed my brow.Â
âGo.â She said. Itâs been half an hour, I told the team that we had four hours to find Diana or sheâs dead.Â
âI know what the secret is.â Spencer said.Â
âYou do?â She asked.Â
âWhy else would you put me through all this?â He asked.Â
âOoo. Phrasing it in the form of a question. That way it doesnât count as a guess. Very smart, Doctor.â She said.Â
âIâm gonna walk you through a scenario and your face is gonna tell me how close I am.â He said.Â
âFrom the moment I arrested you, you watched and waited for the right time to take your revenge. When you learned I was going to Mexico, you took it. You and Lindsey framed me for murder so Iâd be in prison and treated like a criminal, and then you kidnapped my Mother so I would know how it feels to have a parent manipulated, because you wanted to prove that you and I are the same. Am I right?â He asked and she yawned.Â
âSorry, I couldnât hold that in any longer. What were you saying?â She asked.Â
âPsychopaths get bored easily.â He said.Â
âYouâre right. Letâs speed this up.â She said getting up.Â
âShall we?â She asked and sat on his lap. Jealousy raged through my body, but I kept watching.Â
âWhy donât you think about all the pain youâve suffered in your life. What would I capitalize on, do you think? Is it the death of your mentor, SSA Jason Gideon? â She asked while touching his chest and face.Â
âNo. Because we caught the man who killed him.â Spencer said.Â
âWhat about Agent Morgan? And your guilt over not visiting his little boy.â She said.Â
âI was in prison.â He said.Â
âYeah, but you had time before that.â She said moving her face closer to his. I was feeling so uncomfortable and jealous, but I had to stay perfectional and Spencer was just playing into her fantasies to get what we needed, right?Â
âWhy didnât you go?â She asked.Â
âTruthfully, I got distracted. I was trying to figure out a way to help my Mom. She didnât have time. Morgan, Savannah, and little Bobby did. So thereâs absolutely no shame in admitting that. Morgan would understand.â He answered as she nipped at his ear. That wasn't Morgan's sonâŠÂ
âI agree. Thatâs why thatâs not the secret.â She whispered and got off him. He looked back at me and I smiled.Â
âGood job baby.â I said and pulled out my phone.Â
âGo ahead, Y/N.â Rossi answered.Â
âSo Cat has deep background on Spence. She knew about Gideonâs death and Morgan leaving the team for his family.â I said.Â
âSheâs throwing him off-balance.â He said.Â
âYeah, but Spence also purposely gave the wrong name of Morganâs son, and she didnât correct him.â I said.Â
âShe must have gotten her hands on Reidâs confidential FBI file. It would mention relevant team information but wouldnât name Morganâs baby because of confidentiality reasons.â Emily said.Â
âWe were thinking sheâs been getting help from someone inside the prison. This goes deeper than that.â Rossi said.Â
âIâll keep you guys updated.â I said and hung up.Â
âWorking deductively, the secret wouldnât be any of the topics youâve already volunteered, because you wouldnât want to make it that easy on me.â Spencer said after a few minutes of silence.Â
âGenius, truly.â Cat said, playing with his watch.Â
âSo what is left that I wouldnât want to admit?â He asked and they stared at each other in silence for a moment.Â
âLove.â Spencer finally said and my eyes widened. My heart rate picked up and I gulped. Cat stopped playing with his watch and just stared at him.Â
âIs that what this is all about, love?â He asked leaning forward.Â
âFor my Mother?â He asked and she just stared.Â
âNo. For you.â He said and I felt a pain in my chest.Â
âYou want me to admit that I am actually in love with you.â He said.Â
âDonât get me wrong, I love my fairy tales, clearly, as much as the next girl, but Iâm not delusional.â She said.Â
âAre you sure about that?â He asked.Â
âVery sure. So sure, in fact, that I had Lindsey leave a clue for you in your little scrapbook in your house.â She said with a smirk. XX-XY.Â
âI couldnât have you come all the way down here and make a guess until I was positive. That isâŠâ She said looking down at her stomach and my eyes widened.Â
âUntil I tested positive.â She said placing her hands on her stomach.Â
âWhat, youâre pregnant?â Spencer asked.Â
âWeâre pregnant.â She said and it felt like my heart leaped out of my chest. No. No it couldnât be possibleâŠÂ
âNo.â Spencer said, shaking his head.Â
âOh, yes. Mazel tov.â She said. I needed to know. The team needed to know. I asked one of the guards for her records and waited for them.Â
âHere you are maâam.â A guard said, handing me the files.Â
âThank you.â I said and immediately checked them. She was pregnant. Her due date was November 15th 2017⊠I looked up in complete shock.Â
âItâs not possible. Even if you are pregnant, the babyâs not mine.â Spencer said, now standing.Â
âExcept for the part where it is.â She said.Â
âThatâs completely preposterous. Youâve been in prison.â He said sitting back down.Â
âSo have you.â She said.Â
âAnd weâve never had-â
âI know. Weâve neverâŠâ She said.Â
âAsk me how I did it. Come on, ask me.â She said.Â
âAsk herâŠâ I whispered.Â
âHow did you do it?â He asked.Â
âI had Lindsey dose you in Mexico. You lost time. And I gave her very specific instructions to get you in the mood.â She said with a little laugh.Â
âWhat, did she pretend to be you?â He asked and I bit my lip.Â
âWhy, would that have worked?â She asked.Â
âNo.â He answered leaning closer to her.Â
âYeah, I know, I know. Believe me, I know exactly where I stand on the Spencer Reid hot or not list.â She said.Â
âSo you told her to pretend to be Y/N.â He said.Â
âNo. I told her to pretend to be Maeve.â She said and my eyes widened.
âMaeve Donovan. The love of your life.â He said and my heart broke. I knew Spencer loved her at one point, she was his first and she was taken from him. But when we met he said he was over her, that it was in the pastâŠÂ
âWho had her brains blown out right in front of you before you two could even kiss. So dark⊠Yet, so useful.â She said.Â
âYouâre lying.â He said, slightly shaking his head.Â
âSpencer, itâs Maeve. Itâs okay. Spencer, Spencer⊠Spencer, itâs Maeve. Itâs okay. Come here. Shh. You want this. Itâs okay. You want this.â She said in a soft voice.Â
âIt didnât happen.â Spencer said.Â
âHey, I was thinking, if itâs a boy, we should definitely call him Spencie junior.â She said and spencer got up to leave.Â
âBut if itâs a girl, I think we should call her Maeve.â She said and Spencer walked out.Â
âI mean, after all she played such a huge role in her own conception.â She said and Spencer stood next to me.Â
âSpence, we might have something.â I said and he took the files from me.Â
âSheâs three months.â I said and Spencer threw the files at the window.Â
âIâm sorry, itâs not you.â He said and I nodded.Â
âI just need a minute.â He said and I bit my lip.Â
âIs she right?â I asked quietly and he turned to look at me.Â
âWhat?â He asked.Â
âThat Maeve is the love of your life?â I asked. I knew I should wait, Spencer had so much to deal with right now, but I needed to know. I needed to know if our whole relationship was just a lie for him to get over Maeve, or if it was real.Â
âI told you about this already.â He said and I nodded.Â
âBut are we just together because you canât be with her?â I asked and he looked at me with wide eyes.Â
âNo, no of course not!â He said, but a part of me didnât believe him.Â
âI donât believe you SpencerâŠâ I said.Â
âNowâs not the time for this!â He shouted and I flinched. Spencer has never raised his voice before.Â
âIâm gonna go call the teamâŠâ I said and walked off. I took out my phone to call the team, but my phone rang first.
âY/N, you there?â Emily asked when I picked up.Â
âUh, yeah. Yeah, go ahead.â I said trying to compose myself.Â
âSo far we donât have anything on the prison employees. Somebody in there is helping her, but nobody jumps out as the obvious culprit, and it doesnât help that theyâre blocking us at every turn.â Luke said.Â
âWe have something, but, uh, itâs out there.â Tara said.Â
âIâll take out there.â Emily said.Â
âThe gun store owner was more of a libertarian than you would think. He talked about how he never judged his customers or who they love.â Walker said.Â
âThatâs weird.â JJ said.Â
âYeah, not as weird as when he mentioned Obergefell.â Tara said.Â
âThe supreme court decision that legalized gay marriage.â Emily said.Â
âYou said we were missing something in the relationship between these two women. What if itâs this?â Walker said.Â
âThe risks that Lindseyâs taking, the bond she has with Cat, itâs not professional. Itâs romantic.â Tara said.Â
âThis casts a big shadow over Lindseyâs next move. By exposing their plan to us, she knows thereâs no happy ending, no future with Cat.â Walker said.Â
âAnd sheâs going to take Reidâs Mother with her. And thatâs the ultimate act of revenge against the guy who took her lover away.â JJ said.Â
âY/N, what do you have?â Emily asked.Â
âCan you take me off speaker?â I asked.Â
âOkay, itâs just us now.â She said.Â
âCat is three months pregant and sheâs claiming itâs ReidâsâŠâ I said.Â
âAre you kidding me? Are you kidding?â She asked.Â
âWell, hereâs where it gets tricky. Do we believe her or not?â I asked.Â
âOn the one hand, getting pregnant is a power control move straight out of the female psychopath handbook. On the other hand-â
âIf her story is true, it meant she sent her lesbian lover down to Mexico to get Reid to- Ugh.â Emily said, finishing my thought.Â
âYeah⊠Either way, she is pregnant. I just refuse to believe it belongs to SpenceâŠâ I said choking up a little.Â
âIt could be the person inside the prison whoâs been helping her. Getting pregnant serves two purposes- Gasslighting Reid and emotional blackmail against that employee.â She said.Â
âYeah, but, Emily, we donât know who that guy is yet. And Luke and Rossi arenât going to in the time we have left.â I said.
âY/N, I gotta call you back.â She said and hung up. I sighed and walked back to Spencer, he had gone back inside.Â
âLetâs pretend youâre telling the truth. That means I guessed it, right? The secret, the one I donât want to admit to? Itâs my child?â Spencer said.Â
âIs that your guess? You only get one, remember?â Cat asked.
âNo. itâs too easy.â He said.Â
âBelieve me, getting pregnant with your baby was not easy.â She said.Â
âYou misunderstand. Itâs too easy emotionally. Because I can take your child from you. The child I had absolutely no role in creating, but a child that I would care for better than you.â He said and I gulped.Â
âThatâs rude.â She said.Â
âItâs true. You canât be a Mother, Cat. Iâm not trying to insult you. Itâs your psychological makeup. You literally do not have the emotional skills to care for another human being. Youâd lose interest in your own baby the way a six year old loses interest in a pet hamster. This baby is simply a means to an end, which is to keep me here playing your game, guessing like a fool, assuming something I never should have assumed in the first place.â He said.Â
âAnd what would that be?â She asked.Â
âMy Motherâs already dead.â He said and I shook my head. No. That canât be right.Â
âShe was dead before I walked in here.â He said.Â
âSheâs not dead.â Cat shook her head.Â
âYes she is.â Spencer said getting up.Â
âNo, because that would be cheating and I donât cheat! You cheat!â She said.Â
âIâm done playing.â Spencer said.Â
âGet back here!â She said.Â
âGoodbye, Cat.â He said opening the door.Â
âIâll let you talk to her!â She said which made him stop in the doorway. He looked at me and I looked at him in shock. He smiled and walked back in. I quickly called Garcia.Â
âYes, Iâm here.â She answered.Â
âGarcia, get ready to trace a call on Spenceâs phone.â I said.Â
âFired up, plugged in. Ready to go.â She said. Spencer handed her his phone and she called Lindsey.Â
âYouâre early.â Lindsey answered.Â
âYeah, I know.â Cat said.Â
âDid he guess?â She asked.Â
âNo, not yet. We need proof of life.â Cat said.Â
âAlright. Hold on.â She said.Â
âSpencer!â Diana said scared, only a moment later. Spencer grabbed the phone out of Catâs hand so fast.Â
âMom! Mom, are you okay?â He asked.Â
âI donât⊠know.â She answered and then there was a gunshot.Â
âMom!â Spencer called.Â
âGotta go.â Lindsey said and hung up.Â
âMom! What the hell was that?â Spencer asked and I quickly rushed inside.
âI donât know.â Cat answered.Â
âSpenceâŠâ I said trying to calm him.Â
âLindsey said you were early. Was that a signal?â He asked.Â
âNo.â She answered and Spencer slammed the table.Â
âWas that a prearranged signal to kill my Mother!?â He shouted.Â
âNo!â She shouted.Â
âSpencer-âÂ
âTell me the truth!â He shouted.Â
âI am!â She shouted back.Â
âTell me the truth!â He shouted again.Â
âI am!â She shouted back.
âYou wanna know the truth? Your Mother is an alzheimerâs-ridden moron whoâs getting dumber day by day, and if sheâs dead, itâs your fault.â Cat said. Spencer shoved the table away and grabbed Cat. He shoved her up against the wall and wrapped his hands around her neck.Â
âSpence!â I shouted and tried to pull him off her.Â
âIâm going to kill you.â He whispered to her.Â
âSpence!âÂ
âIâm going to kill you.â He said again.Â
âSpence, sheâs pregnant. Sheâs pregnant Spencer! Stop it! Come on!â I said and finally pulled him off her.Â
âCome on.â I said and pushed him to the other side of the room. He walked out. I made sure she was alright and ignored her teasing comments about how she was having his baby and how I was protecting their baby.Â
âHow does it feel knowing he really only loves Maeve and youâre just her replacement?â She asked and I took a deep breath and walked out of the room. My phone rang and it was Garcia. She told me about what the explosion was. I walked into the hall where Spencer was sitting with his head against his knee.Â
âRichmond County police just reported a gas station explosion. One victim, a male. Whatever Lindsey did, we have to assume your Momâs still alive.â I said and he just looked up at me.Â
âHey.â I said and sat down next to him.Â
âIâm really scared this is who I am now.â He said.Â
âNo, donât say that.â I said.Â
âY-Y/N, you donât knowâŠâ He trailed off.Â
âI do know. I know two inmates, Frazier and Duerson, killed your friend Delgado in front of you. And I know they wanted you to move their heroin, and I also know that if you didn't you would have been next, right?â I asked and he looked down at the floor in shame. He nodded, but still didnât look at me.Â
âSpence, anyone in your spot would have done the same thing.â I said.Â
âYou wouldnât have.â He said.Â
âYeah. Yeah, I would have, Spence. Because if someone was threatening my life, You bet your ass I would. I would do it a million times if it meant I got to eventually come home to you. It doesnât make you a bad person.â I said and he looked at me for a second before looking back down.Â
âBecause you know who does think like that, that- that doing what you had to do to survive somehow makes you a psychopath? She does.â I said and realization hit me. I looked over at Spencer and he had the same look on his face.Â
âShe does. She does. Because she- she knows.â I said quietly.Â
âThatâs the secret.â He said getting up.Â
âWhat I donât want to admit about myself.â He said and I got up as well.Â
âHold on, letâs play this out, because she will not lose to you twice. She already said that this wasnât about you two being the same.â I said.Â
âAnd sheâs all about the game. She thinks that I cheated last time because I lied about her dad, so itâs integral to her that she beats me by following the rules.â He said.Â
âYeah, but, Spence, she controls the rules, and she will change them to ensure that she wins.â I said.
âWhich means that Iâm locked in.â He said.Â
âLike she is.â I said.Â
âAnd she needs me locked in, playing by her rules a game I canât win, so she-â He cut himself off and looked at me.Â
âI got it.â He said and went to turn around, but I stopped him.
âWait.â I said and he turned back to me.Â
âIâm sorryâŠâ I said and he looked at me confused.Â
âFor before, I shouldnât let her get in my head.â I said and he pulled me to him.Â
âY/N, I love you, but we both know that there will alway still be some love for Maeve in my heart. That doesnât mean that youâre a rebound or that Iâm using you as a way to replace Maeve, because Iâm not. I love you. Everything we have together, is real.â He said and I looked up at him. I pulled him down for a kiss and put all the love I have for this man in it. We pulled away and we were both smiling. I was on the phone calling the team to get everything ready.
âLetâs get your Mom back.â I whispered and he nodded. Spencer Walked back inside and Cat was sitting down playing with his watch again.Â
âGuess thatâs one way to get you to put your hands on me.â She said.Â
âDance with me.â He said and she looked up at him.Â
âWhy?â She asked.Â
âBecause I donât want the people watching us to hear what Iâm going to say next.â He said and offered her his hand. They started dancing.Â
âYou guys got this up?â I asked.Â
âStreaming now.â Garcia said.Â
âOkay, uh, listen, youâre gonna hear a lot of weird stuff, like Spence saying he is the Father of Catâs baby. Donât let that distract you.â I said.Â
âIâm sorry. Full stop. Why would he say heâs the Father-â
âQuiet.â Emily said cutting Garcia off.Â
âYou had eyes on me while I was in prison, didnât you?â Spencer asked.Â
âSpencie, donât ruin the moment.â Cat said.Â
âI donât want to, but Iâm on the clock. Answer my question. Am I right?â He asked.Â
âYes, youâre right. I wanted to make sure things were just as uncomfortable for you as they were for me.â She answered.Â
âThatâs what we missed, the inside man thatâs been helping them.â Luke said.Â
âHe didnât just work at Catâs prison, he worked at hers and Reidâs.â Rossi said.Â
âGarcia, look for any overlap.â Emily said.Â
âCompiling now.â Garcia said.Â
âHereâs something. Lionel Wilkins. He worked at both Mount Pleasant and The Millburn Correctional Facility.â She said.Â
âOkay look, this guy could have gotten her pregnant, but thereâs no way he could have gotten his hand on Reidâs file.â JJ said.Â
âWell, not directly. He could have called in a favor from a friend at the bureau.â Walker said.Â
âSo someone must have wanted to screw us this whole time.â Tara said.Â
âSomeone whoâs not gonna work for the bureau much longer.â Emily said.Â
âThatâs how you timed everything so perfectly. Like sending my Mom and Lindsey to visit me when I thought was at my lowest.â He said.Â
âThought? You sure you werenât?â She asked.Â
âNo, I wasnât. Because I didnât feel bad. I felt scared. At how much I enjoyed poisoning the other prisoners. I had a hundred ways of getting myself out of that situation, and I picked the one that would cause them the most pain.â He said.Â
âWell, look at that. You might end up saving your Motherâs life after all.â She said.Â
âOkay, Lionel Wilkinsâ primary residence is in Fall Church, but I also have a second address. Uh, itâs a cabin off of the Rappahannock River.â Garcia said.Â
âWell the cabin is in Lindseyâs zone based on the gas station.â Walker said.Â
âHelos are on the roof warming up. Letâs go.â Emily said and hung up.Â
âThey wonât get there in time. They must be on their way, right?â Cat asked.Â
âYour team is too good to wait around, but, you know me. I always have a contingency plan. So, theyâre walking into a trap. And the only way out is if you give me your phone and your guess, right now.â She said. Spencer handed her his phone and she sat down.Â
âWhen we first sat down, you said you were going to show me what kind of man I am. And you have.â He said, sitting on the corner of the table.
âEvery time I touch this, youâre getting warmer.â Cat said.Garcia was calling Emily to facetime her so she could show Lindsey everything.Â
âAt first I was furious, because the secret had to be the baby inside you. How could it be anything else? But then I realized that somehow, you knew I liked hurting those men. But now I know itâs both things.â Spencer said.Â
âSo which is it, Spence? Come on. Donât fumble it now. Youâre at the one-yard line.â Cat said.Â
âYouâre not pregnant with my child. You got pregnant with Wilkins to put me in as compromised a position as possible. But it should be mine. I wish it were mine. Because you and I⊠We deserve each other. That is the real secret.â He said and she pressed the call button.Â
âKill her.â Cat said.Â
âLindsey, I said-â She said getting up, but stopped talking. Cat looked at the camera and glared slightly.Â
âLindsey, sweetheart, itâs complicated, okay?â She said.Â
âY/N, we got her.â Emily said.Â
âWeâre clear.â I said walking into the room and Cat hung up. Spencer took his phone and turned back to me.Â
âIs my Mom okay?â He asked.Â
âYeah, sheâs fine.â I answered with a smile.Â
âWe do deserve each other, by the way. You guessed right.â Cat said sitting back down.Â
âYou lied, by the way. You were going to kill my Mother regardless.â He said.Â
âYeah, I think you really liked hurting those men. And once you cross that line, you canât ever go back.â She said. Spencer walked over to her and grabbed her arm. He took his watch back and looked her right in the eyes.Â
âWatch me.â He whispered and we left. We went back to the office and Spencer was so excited to see his mother again. We walked out of the elevator and the team with his Mother, she looked uncomfortable.Â
âSpencerâs here.â Emily whispered. Diana looked over at him and they both went to hug each other.Â
âHi, Mom.â He said holding her close.Â
âDonât leave me. Every again.â She pulled away to say.Â
âI wonât.â He said and I smiled at them. They pulled apart again and Spencer smiled at me.Â
âY/N! You should come visit more.â His Mother said and came to hug me. I hugged her back and laughed slightly.Â
âI will, I promise.â I said. We pulled apart and we went back to his apartment. Everything was going to be okay.Â

What if SMT4 was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe au?
I know itâs a weird idea but I couldnât get it out of my head and wrote the basic gist of it since I never think Iâll actually have the time to write this especially with college.
The SMT4 movies:
(Precedes Avengers) Phase 1
The Cobalt Samurai-Basically the events of the first part of the game all the way up till them seeing the Underground which instead of Tokyo is New York in the MCU. Most of the superfluous side quests are shown through montage (Ex. The side quests that are a part of the challenges Navarre gives them.). At the movies midpoint the events of Kiccigiori village would transpire. The events of Kiccigiori are expanded on and a big chuck of the movie. Flynn is given more of a character before the events of Kiccigiori he feels a bit homesick and thinks of what he left behind. We see what actually happens to Flynnâs parents in the movie rather than it being left ambiguous like the game. For the first time the others see a strange flicker of gold in Flynnâs eyes which becomes clearer and continues throughout the movies. The finale is the Minotaur fight and then them gazing upon New York.
(The beginning takes place before Avengers but the middle and latter parts are mostly after the Avengers) Phase 2
The Cobalt Samurai: The Black Samurai- They leave the sky tower which disappears behind them seemingly leaving them trapped in New York. They continue the journey while they are pursued by a Hydra agent named Medusa. Nozomi first appears in this movie and helps them adjust to life on Earth. Nanashi and Asahi have a cameo. We also hear about gods starting to return. The movie is road trip esk. On their way to find the Black Samurai they run into familiar faces like Xi Wangmu,
the Ring of Gaea, and even have a brush in with the Avengers. The Avengers being led by the Hydra controlled Shield are told that they are planning to destroy Earth and must be stopped. This is the movieâs climax afterwards Lillith is captured and they bring her back to Mikado. Sister Gabby uses her powers to allow them to return. The movie ends with them learning of her returning to life after being executed.
In between movies
After Flynn and Isabeau leave in Civil War they go around helping people across Earth. Isabeau notices a strange golden light flickering in Flynnâs eyes as he starts to gain peopleâs hopes. His perspective on things starts to change and he starts thinking of the people of Earth more and growing attached to them. He was so focused on the Black Samurai before he had mostly ignored everything else. Without her heâs finally letting himself be enthralled with Earthâs splendor. They actually meet Nanashi and Asahi who are just kids right now.
(Takes place in alongside Infinity War) Phase 3
The Cobalt Samurai: Divided We Fall- After Flynn, Jonathan and Walter get sucked into the reactor they end up traveling to 2 parallel New Yorkâs one of chaos and law. The law one is a dystopia not unlike 1984. The chaos one is marvel zombies. In the alternate worlds they meet alternate versions of the Avengers and fight Lucifer and Merkabah in their respective worlds. After their defeat Jonathan and Walter start to feel strange before they are sucked into the world of the white. The white try to drive Flynn into despair by revealing everything to him and that no matter what choices he makes the world will suffer and he will die. He is nearly taken over before Jonathan and Walter snap him out of it, surprising the white that they are here when they werenât in the other worlds. They are more surprised when the ghost of Navarre becomes visible and gives Flynn his support. Jonathan and Walter with Lucifer and Merkabahâs powers will Isabeau into being transported to the white realm who also knocks some sense into Flynn. Flynnâs fellows declare that theyâll stay by him and defeat their fates together. Hope starts to overflow within him and Masakadoâs katana materializes in his hands simply called âThe Godslayer Swordâ. Together they all defeat the white and the movie ends with the samurai returning to a post-Infinity War Mikado.
The movies that are altered:
(In Iron Man 2 their presence is mentioned in the movie as the supposed âAngels from the Heavensâ.)
Thor-Their is an extra scene with Odin talking to Matrieya and telling him that he is no longer a part of the Divine Powers. Thor overhears this and questions Odin who refuses to elaborate. Matrieya offers Thor to join them and Odin drives him away.
(They are not present but are referenced in Avengers)
Thor: The Dark World-(This movie sucks) So, instead the one trying to get the reality stone is Matrieya who Thor fights. Some of the members of the Divine Powers appear in this movie and Krishna is foreshadowed. Thor finds out earlier about his fatherâs shady past, but this time it involves the Divine Powers who helped Odin conquer the 9 realms.
Captain America: Winter Soldier-They actually run into each other during the movie and they reveal everything about Tayama and Lillith. They were looking for the âface of true evilâ that Lillith told them about. That evil is being done by Hydra who Tayama is a part of in this version. They agree to help out Cap and expose Hydra from within Shield. They find out about all the very messed up things Hydra have done and realize Hydra is the true evil.
(The messiah is mentioned in Guardians of the Galaxy)
Guardians of the Galaxy vol2-Ego is in league with the Divine Powers.
Avengers: Age of Ultron-A young Hallelujah appears in this movie alongside Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. The samurai appear and fight the Ultron bots alongside the Avengers. Due to their meeting in their sequel they are acquainted with the Avengers. As things get hairy Nick Fury picks them up and has them join the fight. We find out that currently the were on their way back to Mikado to report to Shene Duke. In the end credits we see the archangels. Hallelujah doesnât join the Avengers since heâs too young. Like Wanda and Pietro he gets his powers from being experimented on.
Captain America: Civil War-The samurai have completely split off now going their separate ways. We see a flashback of Jonathan and Flynn killing Lillith when Jonathan mentions it. They are dragged into the discussion at the beginning of the movie clearly not on speaking terms with each other especially after Walter hears that they killed Lillith. Isabeau awkwardly shuffled around feeling very nervous and out of place especially with all the tension. After the Sokova Accords are revealed Walter sides with Cap and Jonathan sides with Tony. Jonathan is surprised when Flynn doesnât take a side simply not seeing it as their problem. Since it isnât their world anyway. His head seems in the clouds after defeating Lillith and he walks out of the movie with Isabeau following behind them. From there the movie is the same, but with Walter and Jonathan included. They both start to question how they stand as those they favored flipped. Previously Jonathan would favor Cap and Walter would favor Tony. This whole conflict makes them realize things may not be as black and white as they thought.
(Flynn and Isabeau are referenced in Spider-Man: Homecoming. This is where it is revealed that they have been going around helping people.)
Thor: Ragnarok-Hella is a part of the Divine Powers and Shesha makes an appearance.
Avengers: Infinity War-Isabeau and Nozomi are in the movie on the Earth team. Isabeau reveals that her fellows have disappeared after going to the reactor. Flynn had convinced her to stay behind because she didnât really have a stance in the conflict between Jonathan and Walter. Strangely, Flynn appears later in the movie but is acting awfully strange. Isabeau is transported to the whiteâs world right before the snap. After the snap he takes the gauntlet right off Thanos and Krishna reveals himself. Krishna explains that he allowed Thanos to do the snap on purpose to half the forces of law and chaos. His allies had been transported to another world when the snap happened; âFlynnâ even briefly disappeared before returning out of nowhere foreshadowing this. Flynn is revealed to be Shesha who fights Thanos. They are actually pretty even in power, but due to the Avengers wearing down Thanos before he gains the upper hand and defeats him. Krishna gives his salvation speech and Shesha flexes on everybody. He also mentions that his kalki, the true godslayer, will return to Earth.
Avengers: Endgame-Isabeau informs them of the snap. They actually appear after the time skip due to their trio back to Earth being wonky. After seeing even Mikado was ravaged Jonathan further questions his earlier values. We actually see Gaston who is fully grown to his age in Apocalypse. Many of their families were decimated or mostly gone after the snap. This whole thing brings the group even closer. Gaston joins them on their way back to New York. After arriving Toko appears trying to assassinate Flynn. The whole world thinking him and Shesha were the same and he betrayed them. Flynn defeats Toki and they try to convince her that it wasnât Flynn who took the gauntlet. After her defeat Toki begrudgingly stands down and leaves, however claims she will kill Flynn one day which makes them nervous. They are also joined by Nozomi. Then they join up with the Marvel heroes who are wary at first, but Cap is able to realize that Flynn obviously wasnât Shesha. They have to track down the Divine Powers who currently possess the stones. Krishna plans to use the stones to get to YHVHâs realm and have Flynn kill him. They fight the rest of the Divine Powers and it is revealed that Walter and Jonathan can transform into Lucifer and Merkabah. After their encounter in the other worlds an incomplete version of their power went into them. They fight Krishna and after seemingly winning Krishna slips into Flynn. Vishnu-Flynn is born and fights everyone after getting through to Flynn on the inside he breaks out and finishes Krishna. They take the infinity stones and restore everyone to normal. The samurai realize that there is a bigger threat and the universe is bigger than they imagined. Thus the samurai split again Flynn and Isabeau while Navarre and Walter depart to space while Jonathan returns to Mikado.
Spider-Man: Far From Home- Nanashi and Asahi are present. In the movie after one of the accidents Nanashi is revived by Dadga. It is also revealed Krishna is still alive and has only been sealed.
Pending waiting for more moviesâŠ

Flynn-Centaur, Jack Frost, Minotaur,

For @duketectivecomicsâs Duke Week Day Six: All in the Batfamily
Summary: Duke gets woken up at night and is roped into a strange initiation ceremony into the bats. Despite initial chaos, Duke finds that he is actually enjoying himself, and that maybe being a part of this family isnât such a scary thing. Throwing a glitter bomb at Batman is definitely scary though.
âAre you ready?â
Duke opened his eyes, to find Dick Grayson hovering a few inches away from his face. âGah!â Duke let out, scrambling backwards on his bed till he hit the headboard. âWhat are you doing?â
âPoor reflexives,â Duke looked past Dick to find Damian frowning at him, âAnd he should have known we were present before waking.â
âSettle down, kid,â This time Jason spoke, âNot everyone is as freaky as you.â
Duke blinked the sleep away from his eyes, and surveyed the scene before him. Dick was still by his bed, grinning. Damian and Jason stood behind, along with Cass, Tim, and Stephanie. Wow, when was the last time heâd ever seen all these guys together in the same room without killing each other? Duke had a worrisome feeling that he was the reason for this strange behavior.
âUm,â Duke asked, âWhatâs going on? It's 2 am.â
âWeâre welcoming you to the family!â Dickâs grin grew impossibly wider.
âBut Iâve been here four months?â
Tim shook his head. âBut you havenât had a proper welcome, yet. We had to wait till everyone was here, and Steph insisted she be a part.
âHeck yeah!â The blonde teen said, âIâm a part of this family, whether you like it or not! Bruce even gave me an allowance!â
âYou tricked him into giving you his credit card,â Jason replied dryly.
âLike you havenât done that before.â
âI donât bother tricking him.â
Duke looked back and forth at the exchange, trying to wrap his mind around what was happening.
âThat doesn't answer my question.â
Damian sighed. âIn order to truly be a Wayne, you must go through the initiation period.â
âThat's not ominous at all.â
âTour,â Cass said, âYou learn things. Not bad, fun.â
Duke nodded. âThank you, Cass.â He was still confused, but at least she was trying.
âIf you would get dressed, we have much ground to cover.â Damian sniffed, but even Duke could tell the kid was excited.
Dick backed away from the bed. âWe'll be right back, Duke, get ready!â
*****
Five minutes later, Duke found himself hastily dressed and standing in the entrance hall of Wayne manor. His siblings were arrayed in a semi-circle before him, all of them in weird red robes. They had managed to set up tiki torches at intervals around the room, adding to the atmosphere of doom.
âWe are gathered here today to celebrate the bonding between two families. That of the Thomas' and that of the Waynes.â
Duke blinked at Tim. âWhy are you making it sound like we're getting married?â
âShh!â
âIn this great ceremony, We accept you, Duke Thomas, into our fold. After this day henceforth, you will be one with the bats.â Tim took a deep breath and continued reading from the scarily large book in his hands. âThe bonding day is set in three parts. The first, a display of power. You shall be shown our places, and our things, so that you are made privy to the goings on in the lives of Gotham's most secretive family. Next, You shall be given tasks by each member of the clan â excepting Bruce â that you must complete. Fail even one, and be warned.â Tim stared Duke down. âYou have been warned. The final and most dangerous stage of all âŠâ Tim stopped reading, and every single one of the gathered Waynes began to stomp their right foot. This went on for several seconds. âIs ⊠Cake. Do you accept the challenge, Duke of the Narrows?â
Duke sighed. He didn't quite like the sound of this, but he might as well. âSure.â
Jason whooped, and even Damian cracked a smile.
âWell,â Steph said, âlet's get on with it!â
* * * * *
âAnd it was in this room that Dick broke his first chandelier.â
Duke paused, staring at Jason who had taken over as tour guide after Tim started foaming at the mouth. âFirst?â
The now recovered Tim grinned. âYup! He's broken twenty three and a half in his fifteen year stay at the manor.â
Duke nodded. âAlrighty then.â
âOver here are some pictures of Bruce's great-great-great-great-great-great-great something aunts. If you look closely, you'll see the outline of mustaches. Bruce made us erase them.â Stephanie bounced by, pointing out exactly which paintings she had decimated.
The tour had been going on for almost an hour now, and Duke would be lying if he said he wasn't having fun. Sure, he had seen most of the stuff here, but the stories that went along with them were amazing. It was sweet to know which room Dick insisted they have a family movie in, back when it was only him, Bruce, and Alfred. It was hilarious to find out that the strange purple splotch on the love seat in one of the east wing's drawing rooms was from the time Damian insisted on trying slushies. Or the many tails that arose from the kitchen. From Bruce attempting to cook (He'd always wondered why Alfred had banned him) to the time Jason sleep walked himself into making beignets.
Cass had insisted they tour the air vents (He didn't know you could get into them, let alone that they could fit people, and wasn't quite sure what to do with the information) and trying to get Jason squished in was a highlight of the night. Cass also showed Duke the best hiding places in the manor, in case he ever needed to hide during a prank war. Or Bruce.
Stephanie knew the places with the thinnest walls, and also other tricks for listening in on conversations. She said she'd never had to use the information, but Duke wasn't convinced.
Dick explained the pros and cons of each chandelier in the manor, along with a very detailed instruction pamphlet on getting yourself onto one. Duke promised himself he'd never try.
Tim knew all the best wifi spots in each wing. Somehow, the wifi wasn't the exact same in every part of the house.
Jason knew the best sniper perches, and how to get there. Also, the coziest spots in the library, primed and ready for any avid bookworm. (Duke was actually excited for the second. He really did enjoy reading, but usually stuck to his room)
Damian was very solemn as he brought Duke to random places around the house that were apparently Alfred's (The cat's) and Titus' favorite hang outs. âIn case you need a friend who is not as fallible as humans.â
The tour ended on the roof, each sibling taking to their claimed section. Duke was permitted to choose his own, and did so. He ended up picking a quiet outlook on the forrest, over the west wing.
Duke was given a few minutes of peace, not noticing till a little ways in that he was alone. Huh, he thought, this is kind of nice.
âAlright, Narrows,â Duke turned to find everyone staring at him, âYou ready for the fun part?â
* * * * *
âNow lift up your left foot two inches ⊠got it!â
Unfortunately, the first challenge that was given to Duke by Dick, had him breaking his earlier promise to himself. For you see, Duke Thomas now found himself wrapped in the crystal and gold of Wayne Manors largest chandelier.
âAre you sure this is safe?â Duke asked for the seventh time.
âPerfectly!â Dick replied, but the snickers and filming phones of his siblings made Duke question the acrobat's words.
Duke shifted on the chandelier and heard a soft cracking noise. He froze, terror rushing through his entire body.
âThat was just me!â
Duke looked to down to find Stephanie pulling a couple twigs from her hair, and snapping them in two. She had a manic grin on her face. Oh, she knew exactly what she had done.
âJust don't do it again!â
âDon't worry, Duke,â Dick called, âYou're almost done! You just need to chill for a bit longer. I'm gonna toss up this candy bar, and you need to eat it. Just try not to look like Superman when he sees kryptonite. If you don't catch it, you fail.â
Duke took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. âOkay, I'm r-â
The candy bar was flung up a second before Duke expected it, causing him to fumble and reach out a bit to far to grab it. The chandelier swung dangerously, and Duke let out a scream. A moment later, however, the swinging calmed down, and Duke paused long enough to register the roaring laughter coming from bellow him.
âStop!â Duke said, âThis isn't funny!â
âYeah, it kinda is.â Tim was the first to speak, after having to lean heavily on Steph. âYou forget, Duke, that each and every one of us had to go through this. It's great to see someone else panic. One of the few pros to Bruce's adoption addiction.â
Duke glowered. âJust stop laughing.â
âChill, Duchess,â Jason grinned up at him. âJust eat the candy and you can come down.â
Duke sighed and unwrapped the kit-kat that had given him the worst fright of his life â and that included everything he saw on patrol. He gingerly broke it in two, put on a gruesome grin, and took a bite.
Everyone cheered, and Duke's grin became slightly more genuine. âYou have completed the first task,â Tim said in a solemn voice. âLet us move on.â
Everyone filed out of the room, and Duke started to panic. âHey wait! How do I get down!â
* * * * *
âI don't know if I can do this.â Duke sat in the batchair, Alfred having moved graciously to allow Duke to complete his task.
âIt's simple Narrows,â Jason said, âJust press the button and ask the question. Simple.â
âBut does it have to be ⊠that?â
Jason looked very serious as he answered, âyes.â
Duke sighed. âHere goes nothing.â he reached forward and press the unmute button. âHey, B?â
Batman's growl came through the speakers. âWhat are you doing awake, Signal? It's the middle of the night.â
âBut you're awake.â
âI'm part of the night patrol. You're not. So what are you doing awake?â
âI need to ask you a question.â
Bruce sighed. âGo ahead.â
Duke sighed and looked back at his sibling who were all grinning maniacally. He turned back to the computer. âDoes Santa exist?â
Bruce let out the most long suffering sigh Duke had heard that week. âOne of your siblings better not have put you up to this.â
Duke looked at Jason, who was frantically shaking his head. âNo, B. It's just, the freaking devil is real, right? And the greek gods, and a whole bunch of other stuff? So why not santa?â
Bruce sighed. âGood night, Signal,â and he logged off.
âNot our best,â Jason said, shaking his head, ânext time we should ask how babies are made.â
âNEXT TIME?!?!?!!?â
* * * * *
âYou can get it down in one gulp if you try hard enough!â
Duke looked over skeptically at Tim, who was making Duke drink a special blend of espresso, five hour energies, and Monster.
âYou just need some ambition!â
Duke gulped. âAmbition to die?â
Tim sighed. âJust do it. If you don't, you'll fail the challenge, and you DON'T want to find out what happens then.â His point was emphasized by every single one of the bats unleashing their personal batglares upon him.
Duke grimaced, grabbed the venti Starbucks's cup, and gulped it down. He swayed for a moment. âI'm never sleeping again.â
Tim grinned, âNope!â
* * * * *
Damian's task was relatively simple. His pets had to approve of him. They'd already gotten Alfred's, Titus', and Bat-cow's approval, and they were outside trying to find Jerry the turkey.
âGot him!â Stephanie called from bushes, and a loud squawking ensued. She walked over, carrying the bird and placing in front of Duke.
Everyone stood still for a moment, then Damian spoke. âHe approves.â
Duke grinned. âGreat, what's the next challenge?â
Damian smirked, and Duke's stomach dropped. The eleven year old turned around and whistled sharply. Large wing beats sounded from far off and a huge shape appeared on the horizon. As it approached, Duke could make out what appeared to be a large, fuzzy dragon. The animal landed right in front of Duke, and Damian continued.
âThomas, meet Goliath.â the tiny terror turned to the beast. âGoliath, decide his fate.â
* * * * *
âSo, what do you have for me, Cass?â Duke asked warily. He knew Cass was the nice one, but he wouldn't put it past her to choose something ⊠questionable.
Cassandra smiled sweetly, leaned forward, and whispered in Duke's ear, âhug Jason.â
Duke sighed. That wasn't too bad. He turned around and faced Jason head on. âSo, what did she sa-â
Jason was cut off by Duke launching forward and wrapping his arms around Jason's huge chest.
The young man sighed. And wrapped his arms around Duke. âEh,â he said when he saw the looks he was getting, âDuchess isn't too bad.â
Dick grinned. âDoes that mean I get a hug?â
Both Duke and Jason tensed. âOn the count of three,â Jason whispered, âWe run.â
Dick grinned and opened his arms.
âOne.â
He took a step forward.
âTwo.â
Dick smiled. âCome on, guys!â
âTHREE!! RUN!!!â
* * * * *
âNow pour delicately, Master Duke,â Alfred said as he instructed Duke on how to properly have tea. Everyone had insisted on going to Alfred before Stephanie's challenge, which had Duke worried slightly, but he honestly enjoyed having tea.
âDon't forget to have good posture,â The butler continued. Duke frowned slightly. Maybe this would be longer than he thought.
* * * * *
âNow a tad more glitter. You can never have enough!â
Duke followed the instructions, finishing up the glitter bomb which Stephanie had taught him how to make. He wasn't sure what it was going to be used for, but he knew it wasn't gonna be good.
âGreat job, Duke!â Stephanie grinned, then turned to Dick. âHow much longer till Bruce gets back from patrol?â
Ah. Yeah, this definitely wasn't going to be good.
âFive minutes,â Dick replied, âEveryone in position!â
And so Duke found himself dragged into the Batcave, glitter bomb behind his back, and a hastily memorized instruction to throw and run in his mind. Five minutes later, the batmobile rolled into the cave. Bruce jumped and and came over to Duke.
âWhat are you still doing up?â
âBruce, would you ever disown me?â
Bruce frowned and pulled off the cowl. âNo, Duke. Of course not.â
Duke nodded. âWould you ever break your no-kill rule just for me?â
Bruce smiled and shook his head. âNever.â
âOkay, most important question,â Duke paused and took a deep breath, âWould you ever blame me for something that isn't my fault?â
âNot if I can help it, I promise you that.â
Duke took another deep breath and nodded. âAlright.â He then in one swift movement pulled out the glitter bomb from behind his back, and threw it at the Dark Knight of Gotham. The Caped Crusader. The Batman.
Duke turned and bolted, leaving a stunned Bruce Wayne in his wake. Once he was in the stairwell, he turned in time to see Bruce completely covered in purple glitter. He looked down at himself, then up to the heavens.
âSTEPHANIE!!!â He yelled.
* * * * *
âThat was legendary, Narrows!â
Duke grinned back at Jason. Sure, lobbing a glitter bomb at the guy who was currently giving you a home (not to mention said guy was  THE BATMAN) had been one of the worst experiences of his life, but even he had to admit it was funny.
âSeriously, Duke,â Tim replied, âI don't think I could have done that.â
âAnd the dialogue leading up to it!â Dick grinned as he sat next to Duke on the couch.
âIt was worthy of cake,â Damian replied, a smile on his face.
âSpeaking of cake!â Stephanie announced as she strolled into the room, a large cake in hand. On the top read 'one of us'. She set it down on the coffee table in front the sofa.
Cassandra grinned as she handed Duke the cake knife. âOne of us,â she said, and the chant was soon picked up.
âOne of us! One of us! Once of Us!â
Duke grinned as he sliced through the cake. Everyone cheered.
âSo how do you feel, Duke? Got the crazies yet?â Stephanie asked as she collapsed on the sofa.
Duke grinned. âNot yet.â
Jason laughed. âGive it some time, kiddo.â
Duke settles back and took a bite of his cake â blue velvet â and pressed play on the movie. Everyone settled down, eating cake and enjoying The Incredibles.
* * * *
A few hours later when Duke was the only awake, Bruce quietly walked into the room.
âHow'd initiation go?â
Duke sighed contentedly. âGood.â
Bruce smiled. âGet some sleep. You did well tonight.â
Duke didn't bother trying to figure out the implications of that sentence, opting instead to settle back into the cuddle pile. Cass, tucked under his arm, Damian on his lap, Dick wrapped around his other side, Stephanie atop Jason, and Jason and Tim woven into the chaos of limbs. It was warm and strangely comfortable.
Duke sighed, smiling. It's nice, he thought, belonging.

goodnight n go // C.H
pairing : Calum Hood x Reader.
summary : you are a famous pop singer and one normal night in your life Calum literally came to change everything.
words : 8.5k
warnings : fluff, angst and swearing.
a/n : hi babies, so I tried to do this gender neutral because Iâm trying to write things for everyone without specifying gender, sexuality, physical appearance, etc. Feedback is more than welcome. Credits to the owner of the photo, and the Instagram posts.
italics means song lyrics.
bold means posts on social media.
inspired by : that one second laugh Ariana Grande does in âeverytimeâ studio version and âgoodnight n goâ live version. And these videos (links down below in the blurb)
You are a pop star, already part of the pop culture, on tons of playlists made by platforms. So your life is always on the public eye even when you donât post in your social media the paparazzis and social accounts always doing that for you. It wasnât like that at the beginning, the world barely knew your name, your shows were for 50 in the room, then 100, then 1000, now a whole arena and with two dates in some cities. You have learned how to deal with the dizzy things of being famous thanks to your fans, family, friends and your own power so at the end of the day you would not change leaving your heart on stage singing and dancing every night at all even when you know that it is crazy, yeah, it is crazy there outside. How people that you donât know tells you how you changed their lives with your music, how you saved them, tattoos in their bodies inspired by your lyrics and style.
It is been crazier lately. You write your songs inspired by your own experiences or your loved ones experiences. You just finished a tour and after a good break for a whole season you are back writing and planning a new album. You were writing a song based on a reckless love but the song couldnât make it to the previous album because you never finish it and you didnât want it as an interlude. But you restart it because life slapped you in the face because 3 months ago you broke up with your partner. You are laying on bed looking at some pictures of you two together walking on the streets taken by paps. The light of the screen lighting your face. And god, how you didnât realize tons of things?, in every picture you are looking at your ex like a fool completely in love but people could not say the same coming from the other person. You were in love, your ex really loved you at first but the last months of the relationship barely paid attention to you. That is when you remembered one of your fights.
âI waited for you for almost two hours! You could at least answered my messages or you could call me! So I would leave the restaurant and donât waste my time on youâ you said loudly pointing at its face when you came back home and acting like nothing happened. You were furious.
âI know, sorry Iâm tired I spend the whole day with my friend I didnât see him in a whileâ your ex sighed laying on your bed. âDonât wanna argueâ.
âI donât care about your friend! You could tell him to hang out another day. It was a special day for us you assholeâ you said giving an angry look and leaving the room.
It was supposed to be a special day that day. You were back from your South America leg of the tour and you received the notice of awards nominations so you decided to celebrate by having dinner and then go to the movies together. But your ex didnât show up, and it wasnât the first time. You just asked for simple things like going to the beach or just receive love. So even you were angry, you came back to their arms every time.
You thought that then a good fuck or a pretty face would fixed everything, but no. Your naive head at that moment thought that things were going to change, or that your lover was the love of your life.
Now you are looking at the last picture of you two that was seen together walking out a store and even bugs can notice how disillusioned your expression and body language are in that photo. You are hanging by their arms but looking at the floor with your head down. The other person also was trying to hide it with a cap and focused on the road.
âOh Godâ you sigh at the picture knowing how ridiculous you looked. You lock your phone and throw it to your side of the huge bed now empty the other side. You are sitting with your legs crossed in your bed looking outside your window. It is late in the night so the city lights are your view and it reminds you that night when you called your best friend to tell her about you were thinking to end your relationship. She is always been supportive with you and every time you were going to make your decision you postpone it till finally it happened. You remembered that you cried a lot that night you saw them leaving your apartment and hours later you were still crying listening to sad music with your best friend looking at the roof.Â
Now you decide to restart the song you left half done. Your dog joined you in bed, you went for a cup of hot chocolate and you start writing it.
+
The next day early in the morning you are in your way to the studio once you are ready with your makeup trying to hide your tiredness that you wrote till 3 am and put your studio outfit which consists on a big hoodie so big that the sleeves are always covering your hands but comfiness is first.
Your band and crew arrived and you have your coffee. Even when it is a sad song coming from your experience you want to put energy in this one like one of those nights you fought, how your blood was running in your veins and how deeply you knew that your relation was pointless but you were going to fall every time. The energy being aware of that but at the same time an energy by saying Iâm done, I get over you but I know that I was a fool for you but not anymore.Â
You explain that to everyone when all of you are thinking about the melody and beats. Most of the people in the room insist and show you a sad melody and you are starting to get frustrated because they are not listening to you and your idea you are looking for.Â
You decided to move on on another two songs that you have complete. During breaks to eat something, drink water, go to the next studio and say hi to people that you know and fooling around with your own crew now it is dark outside and you are thinking to call it a wrap for today but the urge to at least figure it out the musicality of the song you wrote last night it is bigger.
But all of you are tired and ran out of ideas and your manager enters the soundproof box to tell you that the room is reserved for another artist from midnight till dawn. So you have 3 hours left to record this song or try again another day.
When you are talking to your favorite producer, who also is your friend, a tall man enters the room with headphones and the music too loud for not noticing the room full of people. When he saw the big group of people he freezes and apologies already leaving when you stop him recognizing him.
âCalum?â you said getting up from your seat in front of all the buttons of the huge synthesizer.
âY/N?â he asks checking if this is real.
You nod at him and hug him because it is been a while, almost 2 years without seeing him. He is so happy to see you, the last time you were together was in an awards after party and you know him since 4 years ago when you met him and his band on an awards show that you presented his band and their performance and you saw it from the corners of the stage and waited to congratulated them because you are respectful with others musicians work, they asked for a picture and after that you have been friends but your busy life didnât let you hang out with them but always exchanging likes, comments or messages on the dms on social media.Â
âOmg how are you?â he asks you while he hugs you with his strong arms the height difference is notorious so he lays his right cheek on top of your head. He knows about your love situation, but to be honest he was not sad about that. Not at all. But he is not going to take advantage of that.
âFine and you? Omg I miss you so much, what are you doing here alone?â you say to him confused not seeing all the 5sos boys.
âWe are recording our new album and the guys should be hereâ he says checking the hour on his watch and then quickly his phone if there is a message.
âFinally new 5sos music!â you say and laugh.
âYeah, we donât have the ability like you to drop music every year.â he teases you.
âHey!â you punch him softly on his ribs. âFirst things first, you can do that too if you want to drop music and second, actually right now Iâm struggling with a songâ you explain to him all of your situation when his phone rings. Ashton is on the other side of the line.
âCal, we said at midnight!â Ashton said.
âOh crap, I donât know why I understood it was at 9 pm...Kâ...Bye, see yaââ Calum answers to his friend before hanging out the call.
He explains to you the situation even when you listened to what Ashton said. Calum tells you that it was nice to see you but he should be back at midnight but you stop him letting him know if he wants he can stay.
âAre you sure?â he asks knowing that maybe that could bother your crew.
âOf course Cal!â you say. And even when his house it is like 20 minutes away by driving he could come back when it is his bandâs turn to use the studio but to be honest again he would really love to hang out a while with you. He always finds you attractive and your voice is one of the most angelical for him.
After he greeted the rest of the group he sits close to you listening your conversation with your producer.
âWhat if you add little adlibs and drums?â Calum suggests but he regrets if the producer would get angry. âSorry man, I know it is your work and I am just a guest and-âÂ
âIt is okay! Actually that is a good idea dudeâ your producer say asking Calum to show him what he said.
Calum and you enters the box and he sits to play the drums.
âAshton is teaching me a little bit now that we are roommatesâ he jokes about it while taking the drumsticks.
âI saw that joke you did to Ashton! It was hilarious and his responseâ you point at him.
So you and Calum organized that he would play something in the drums first and then you start singing or reading the lyrics to catch the rhythm. He shows you a freestyle moment with the drums since heâs been doing that in his house to practice. The producer in the other side of the glass tells you from the speaker that there is a beat that maybe could fit. So once back again listening to beats ideas ordering to make that beat faster or slower, louder or pronounced then your band is working with the guitar, bass, keyboard and your drummer continues what Calum started and last but not least you are thinking where to sing it with high notes that it is your biggest characteristic.
All the people in the room are tired, your manager and part of your crew left early because they have meetings for some upcoming festivals to schedule. You let your band know that is the last effort of this week then youâll be back again the next one rehearsing for an awards performance.
Calum now is in the other side of the glass next to the producer watching and listening all of this process of making this record. He is having fun and he realizes he could hear to your voice all night. It takes a lot of takes, to the final result of a song and Calum knows that perfectly.
You want to achieve the highest note of the song in the last chorus of the song in the last line. You should have record that first because it is getting hard for you to reach with a tired vocal cords after doing the rest of the song and the ad libs. You sigh frustrated at another failure of that last chorus.
âY/N, should we call it a wrap for today?â your producer asks you softly. To be honest, you donât want it after all of the work behind to finally get this song built.
âExcuse meâ Calum says confident to the producer to take control of the speaker. âY/N, listen to me, this is the last effort I know that yaâ can do this⊠You got thisâ he says looking at you directly in the eye. You nod and take a deep breath to try again and âhe was rightâ you thought to yourself when you freaking nailed it not just one high note, you reached it also the lines of the outro of the song.
Once you open your eyes when you keep singing with not that much power the last line. You laugh hiding your smile with the sleeve of your hoodie because the first thing you see is Calum stunned with his arms crossed on his chest and one hand full of rings lifted to cover his mouth. You start clapping to your band and say through your microphone âthank youâ to the rest of the people.
âGirl, you fuckinâ blew my mindâ he says so excited mimicking what he said once you left the recording side of the room.
Minutes later everyone is saying goodbye to you and once again you thanked everyone for their job and energy as always and telling your producer to call you to edit the song other day.Â
Now you are alone with Calum while you start packing your things. âMagicâ you say looking at the clock with 15 minutes in your favor.
You use that time catching up on general things, like music, family, next awards, and a little bit of gossiping and of course asking about the rest of the boys.
âSo happy for you guys, I can see that you are happy with this new eraâ you say after listening to Calum talking so passionate about what he and his band are doing. âI want to wait for the guys because I miss them. Do you think Michael is still in love with me?â you joke about it in a friendly way since Michael told you you were his crush, so he always reacts so excited and weird with you.
âNo, he canât react like he used toâ. Calum laughs and you understood because you congratulated Michael on his engagement.
Minutes later, the boys and the rest of the crew arrived making noise with a lot of energy as always ready for a recording night but at the end they are always laying on the floor waiting for the team to call it a wrap.
âYou gotta be kidding me!â Luke says running to hug you by lifting you because he is so tall and he missed you so much. You laugh and hold him tight. You say hi to the rest of the boys and you look at Calum next to you when you both noticed Michael is trying to act serious and cool around you when later he is going to ask Calum "Did Y/N said something about me?".
After a couple of minutes talking to the boys catching up about life, their crew called them to start the session so you have to say goodbye.
"Thanks again Cal, you saved my life today" you say goodbye to him with a kiss on the cheek and then the same with the rest. "K' guys bye, hope you have a good night".
You are stepping into your car when Calum calls you running behind you. "Y/N! before you leave, I lost all of my contacts when Ashton threw my phone into a poolâŠ" you laugh at how they always been like that. "So if you can give me your number again if one day you want to hang out with me- with us".
You both exchange numbers and say goodbye.
+
Your producer laughs hearing that take where you stop singing and take a second to laugh at Calumâs face. âYou want to put the laugh in the song too?â
https://www.instagram.com/p/B8EMIEPCF5y/
You donât know if it was a joke or a serious question. You think for a minute at how frustrated you were that night with your team trying to build this song and thankfully Calum was there to help and give his opinion, also that laugh confirms how this song is not sad at all even when people were saying to you that it should be because of your breakup.
âYeahâ you answer and think about that little good time hanging out with Calum. You record a short video of that laugh that is going to be in the song, letting know your fans that you are in the studio pointing with your phone at the computer.Â
Your stories on Instagram are always like a puzzle to your fans, like what does this means? what is this? when? where? new song? album? tour? collab? video?. Most of the times you add emojis, letters, or numbers that are meaningful to decipher the message and also to tease.
+
âHello?... Calum? Can you hear me?â you say through the phone.
âY/N? Hi! Yes, I canâŠâ he answers leaving the room. âSorry, I was so into playing my bass, we are writing a new songâ.
âOh sorry, if you are busy I can call you later-â you say softly and gentle.
âNo no no. Ehmm, how are you? Tell meâ he say surprised that you actually call him. He is giving you all of his attention listening to you.
âIâm fine and you? Iâm calling you because we finished the song and I would like to know if you want to appear in the track info, causeâ yaâ know⊠you helped with the drums and other stuffâ you wait for his answer, you are nervous of his response. Why? You have done this all the time with other collabs, âmaybe because he is so intimidating but at the same time the cutestâ you think to yourself.
In the other side of the call, he is surprised and also he finds this so cute from you because he thinks that he barely contributed. âEhhm, yes- I mean if you are okay with this Iâm okay tooâ.
+
@MTV: Biggest return of Y/N!, who just announced a new single and a new collaboration TONIGHT!, a new album, and a performance for the VMAS. *internal screams*.
@MTV: Donât forget to watch the VMAS this Sunday at 8 pm, amazing performances by Y/N, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Halsey, RosalĂa, Bad Bunny, Doja Cat, Cashmere Cat and Missy Elliott winner of the Vanguard Award and more! with surprises of course, as always.
+
@y/n.updates: Genius.com has revealed the lyrics of the new singles! âeverytimeâ and âquitâ, the last one is from the dj Cashmere Catâs album. We are so excited for our baby's return.
@bbcradio1: A friendship you didnât know you needed until now⊠Calum Hood from 5sos appears in the track info of Y/Nâs new single. Is Y/N going to appear in the upcoming 5sos album too? letâs pray to the universe.
+
âOf course last but not least to arrive the red carpet is the royalty in person, Y/Nâ the interviewer comments watching you posing to all of the cameras. âI am loving this moment. Y/N is here to slay the red carpet and taking pictures with every artist throwing kisses to friends like to 5sos, ugh lucky boys, now saying hi to Normani, we love thatâ.
âYeah, Iâm smelling big succes coming this year and Y/N totally deserves itâ the other interviewer says. âOh. My. Goddess⊠Can we take a moment to appreciate this outfit?!â. You arrive and say hi to everyone. After a couple of questions and compliments you are walking with your team to go backstage to change for your performance.
Once the Teen Wolf cast introduced your performance, everything went dark and silence and you appear in a large lavender satin dress, perfect to build up your figure and Cashmere Cat appears on a platform with his dj set and lights pointing at you and him.
âAnd you say that I'm the devil you know
And I don't disagree, no, I don't see the harm
They say, "You crazy, just leave him, he'll suffocate you"
But I wanna be in your arms
They say, "No, don't pick up the phone, let him think there's nobody home"
But I'm under your spell
'Cause when you call, my heart starts to roll
I always want more
It's my heaven, my hellâŠâ
Then two contemporary dancers are next to you dancing at what the lyrics means to you when you recorded this with Cashmere Cat in the studio after your breakup. At the chorus a fake rain starts in the stage and you have your moment feeling amazing and feeling the beat that your dj friend was playing behind you. You participate too in the choreo while you sing the last part of the song. Singing to both dancers faces like if you are watching from outside when you decided to step out your relation. So each dancer goes to their own way representing the metaphor.
Then a new different beat went off for a little moment and you start singing a snippet of one of your new songs of your upcoming album hoping to make everyone clear how you are after your breakup because you still hear some comments about it.
âI got a bad idea, How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeahâ.
The next thing you see is everyone standing up and clapping at you. You hug Cashmere Cat. âThank you, please give it up for my friend Cashmere Cat!â
You stay not that much to the after party because tomorrow you have to get up early for a photoshoot.
+
You post videos behind the scenes and the photos of the photoshoot. You are in the front page and you did something original playing with makeup, hairstyles and clothes. Everyone is living for this new era.
âUgh, are you going to do that call or should I do it for you?â Ashton interrupts Calum and his daydreaming watching your latest posts.
âWhat?â Calum answers confused wrinkling his nose and expressions.
âYou heard meâ. Ashton says letting know his friend that he is not stupid. âI noticed how you look at Y/N that night performing and then at the after party...And donât excuse yourself because of the angelic voice because I know I was mesmerized too but you were on another levelâ.
Calum doesnât add anything else and stands up to continue writing the new song but not without leaving a comment on one of your posts âgorg!â.
+
âHello beautiful human, it is Y/N back in the studio!â Zach says through his microphone. Everyone clap and he greets you. Even the promo you have to do for your singles, albums and all that stuff you are so picky with the interviews you want to do because in the past you had a lot of uncomfortable ones with disrespectful questions and interviewers. It is not the case with Zach, you feel at home and he is your friend.
As always you talked about your new music, upcoming things, opinions about something, your personal life and you are so honest talking on Zachâs show because he always asks you about how are you doing because he knows that everyone struggles.
âSo the whole tracklist it is on genius.com and I think that it is safe to say that Iâm not the only one surprised with the collabs and people who helped you.â Zach says reading a paper checking the new revelation. âI would like to know details how it is to work with such talented artists and producersâ.
You told him the details and including how Calum ended in your studio session that night.
âThank God I recognized him because my bodyguard was ready to punch himâ you make Zach laughs.
+
Calum saw your interview and after that he called you. He didnât know what kind of confidence took him to invite you to hang out tomorrow.
That day you went with him and Ashton and Luke to the Star Wars theme park. The guys insisted that Calum must have gone alone that day but he was too nervous. Other day you and the guys went to bowling, Michael was losing all the fun because his new life as fiancé planning the wedding.
Thatâs how you got the chance to know more about them every single time you hang out. Paparazzis always were there and people talking about this cool friendship. But then Calum had the balls to ask you on a date. For your surprise he invited you to a The 1975 concert, then you invited him to a Post Malone concert, you went to the movies, then late nights stops at diners. And as the bond between you two was growing with so much love, affection, confidence, honesty and how safe you feel next to him you didnât realize that you were holding his hand or arm so natural like it was a thing you two always do. That little thing was enough for people to start rumors. Calum likes you so much but he wanted to take things slow because of you and him after you told him everything about your ex and he did the same. His ex used him just for fame and to be in the public eye so with little details when you noticed he was doubting about his own self or anything else, you let him know that everything is okay.
+
One and a half month later, you are with him at your place in your home studio after you order vegan pizza for dinner that Calum was right that it is delicious. You were helping each other, mostly him with ideas of sets to perform Want You Back and Youngblood on tv shows. Then you showed him the final version of âeverytimeâ and he loves that you included the laugh in the song which reminds him of something.Â
âI want to show you somethingâ Calum says searching something on his phone gallery.Â
âFound itâ he says getting his chair closer to yours. It is a video that he secretly recorded of that day in the studio, when you finally hit the high notes of the song. In the video you can hear how he says âwowâ multiple times and your producer is not surprised but still in awe. Then there is your laugh when you saw Calumâs face and when the song ends you can hear his âwhat the fu-â and the video ended.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B8O76_nC3Q5/
âWhy you didnât show me this before?â you say with giggles at how incredible you have the two sides of that moment.
âFirst, donât worry because Iâm never going to show this to anyone I know that I should ask you before and-â he is explaining himself.
âCan I kiss you?â you interrupts looking at him noticing a sparkly surprise on his eyes.
He leans so fast to kiss you, you take your moment to taste his lips after all this time you can confirm what you think about his lips. You break the kiss needing air. âYou didnât answer my questionâ.Â
He laughs at your teasing while you bit your lip. âYouâre right, I didnâtâ. He holds your face within his hands and start kissing every part of your face while he says âYesâ in every little kiss.
Things got hot and heavy so you move the make out session to your room. Both of you donât want that the other person feel pressure to do things but with you Calum forgot his âlove is scamâ thing. So he carries you and takes his time to make every moment, kiss, thrust and this night to last. He thinks that he is the only one that kinda feels strange at this amount with affection and intimacy but the truth is that you were feeling the same way, because with him you donât feel a clingy or a needy person as you were in your last relationship. With Calum is different in a good way.
+
âSo you didnât come home last nightâ Ashton says to Calum when he arrived for lunch time, because he had breakfast twice today with you.
âEw! I didnât want to know that Calâ Ashton says while cutting vegetables for lunch. âThank God you are together, it took you forever. To be honest, I thought Y/N was going to get bored of waitingâ.Â
+
Another night at your place when Calum surprised you with a romantic dinner and also apologizing for the other night when at his place Ashton interrupts you two.
In the middle of the night you woke up with an idea stuck in your head, you took your underwear and Calumâs baggy shirt he was wearing and before you stood up you melted at the sight of your dog sleeping closely to Calum, who at first hated him but now they look like besties.
After an hour in your studio with this new idea, you had the lyrics and already recording with a beat which two of your best friends made once in a party just fooling. The studio is soundproof and in another level of your house so the music is not going to wake up Calum, but the coldness he felt next to him makes him wonder the reason that woke you up.
And when he found where you are and what are you doing he reminds to himself that in this exact moment he feels so much love for you.
âThat sounds beautiful babeâ he said getting closer to you to kiss your cheek.
You are editing all focused this song to send it to your producer to do the final touches. âI didnât want to wake you upâ you lift your head to look at him with a pout and noticing he is shirtless and he looks tired from what you did hours earlier. He asked you details about this song called âgoodnight n goâ, he listened to it and once again all of his feelings manifest in a studio. âI love youâ he confessed when the song ends. The feeling is mutual and the idea of this song came up all based in your relation you have with him.
+
@Y/N: new album. valentineâs day. love yâall xoxo.Â
You posted with the cover of your new album.
+
âThere is a lot of people downstairsâ your manager said arriving the room, you were waiting for your manager for the first toast of the night. It is your albumâs launch party and you want to celebrate with your team, your band and their loved ones. Your family, your friends, artists of the industry, and other famous people.
You made a speech about how grateful you are for everyone in the room for their patience, for the love and support for you and this new project. Before you start to get emotional, you said to everyone to have fun tonight and you thanked again.Â
You rented a whole club for the night. After eating, cut the cake and having a few glasses of champagne you are ready to take pictures in the photo booth with everyone.
Your close loved ones of course know about you and Cal, but the other half of the people in the room just know the rumors and the pictures from paparazzis and fans. When you were taking funny pictures with other musicians, it is iconic that in the photo is going to appear artist from different genres of music that are your friends. Calum really wants a picture with you and just you even when he loved the ones with the boys and your friends.
âIâm readyâ Calum said to you when you are pointing at the printed photo because Lukeâs gold eyeshadow looks freaking amazing.
âReady for what?â you looked at him confused.
âReady to announce the world that we are togetherâ he said biting his lower lip waiting for your reaction. He told you a few weeks before that he was afraid and he didnât know how to handle at that moment if you said you were together, so you told him that it is okay and understood him.
âLike now?! What you have in mind?â you asked him nervous because you both know what comes next with this kind of announcements.Â
Calum just took your hand and enter just with you inside the photo booth and when the countdown started he looks at you with a smirk and sparkly eyes. âThis is my planâ and he kissed you on the lips at the same time the machine announced the picture was taken.
âWe have two more! What do we do?â he asked you, but now that you are here you use right the last two pictures. One kissing him in the cheek and hugging him around his neck that Calum did that thing with his eyes and the biggest smile on his face because he is so happy and also the alcohol. And the last one looks a little bit blurry and funny.
You took the opportunity to take another three but this time, now that everyone is going to know about your relation, the pictures are sexier but not vulgar. Of course your photographer took film pictures during the night so you will have several memories of the night.
You and Calum posted the three first ones on your social media.
@Y/N: my loveđ.
@calumhood: happiest man in the universe. february 14th is not bad at all anymore with you by my sideđ.
That night before you arrived home with Calum, he told you about a new 5sos music video called Valentine that was going to be on Youtube in 30 minutes, he told you that he wrote almost the entire song and you canât wait to hear and see him singing this song, especially his verse.
We know we're classic together like Egyptian gold
We love us
+
The success of your new album was immediately. And that means a lot of interviews, invitations to tv shows, radio stations, youtube channels, etc. Calum went and waited for you backstage to the ones that were in US. But the international ones he couldnât come with you because their new album is going to release soon and new music videos by 5sos.
âIâm so happy to be back!â you said. Today is BBC radio 1 turn. They told you they were happy to have you in the radio.
After you sang a song from the new album, you have to do a cover. In the past you did âThem Changesâ by Thundercat and âAfter The Stormâ by Kali Uchis taking advantage of your voice and the high notes you can reach, it is the same this time.
âHi, this is Get You by my friends Daniel Caesar and Kali Uchisâ you said. The last part is your favorite.
This feels like summer
Boy you make me feel so alive
Just be my lover
Boy you'll lead me to paradise
+
Youngblood is out and the release party wasnât bigger like yours but the fun was the same. You appeared on the Cocktail Chats they did when it was Valentineâs turn. Now after two months your relation went public, the euphoria coming from the people decreased.
+
@Y/N: something huge in two hours with a special guest.
You posted on your stories with a sneak peek.
@ctrlnow: Y/Nâs world tour with Kehlani as special guest. Next week tickets on sale. Are you excited? because this is going to be đ„. It is the first time Y/N is going to perform in all the continents in almost two years.
+
@5sos: US, Canada and Mexico get ready for this tour. Special guest our buddy Dominic Fike. Tickets on sale in 6 days.
+
After 4 months of rehearsals and planning visuals, outfits, makeup, sets, tracklist, etc. You are on the road with the first leg of the tour in US for the whole summer in arenas and festivals. You are synchronized with Calum so you have no problem to hang out together and enjoy to the fullest your days off.Â
Both of you donât get tired of each other concerts. Watching Calum leaving his heart on stage singing and playing his bass, also looking so freaking handsome every single show. For him is the same watching your amazing show with your dancers and different outfits, he said it before and in the present day that he can listen to you singing the whole day and he envies you how charming you are with your fans and noticing every person in the huge arena.
You have a main stage, then a circular runway and a B stage. Calum is always in the first row in front of the B stage. The first show you were so nervous. The beginning of âgoodnight n goâ started and the crowd went crazy.Â
âIt seems that you really like this oneâ you said teasing even more. You started dancing and walking next to where Calum is. Your dancers interact with the audience while you are reaching the high notes.Â
We'll have drinks and talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
And you'd sleep here, I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
(At my convenience)
We'd be good, we'd be great together
https://www.instagram.com/p/B577uVJnJ6f/Â
When you looked down, there is your boyfriend looking at you like nobody else did before. You laughed at his reaction because it was priceless and before you keep moving you blow him a kiss. So as the same his reaction was that first time in the studio with âeverytimeâ that made you laugh, now it is with the song that he inspired. He does that in every show he goes, every time you sing âgoodnight n goâ. It is now your amulet that he makes you laugh in the same part with his faces and reactions. But not everything is perfect.
+
The different time zones, the distance and the stress is clouding Calumâs mind. In two weeks you have barely spoken ten minutes. And new things keep coming to you like singing to fashion shows, summer festivals in other continents, hosting tv shows, etc. His friends told him that he will get used to and things will be okay within you two. But he misses you so much and he is doubting about himself again in this thing called love.
âI think it is the best Y/Nâ he said through his phone. He called you that night, he is so overwhelmed and tired. âI donât want to be an obstacle, this is your careerâs biggest timeâ he tries not to cry while he passed his hand through his hair all nervous.
âCalum please tell me you are not jokingâ he can hear your sobs in the other side of the line. You are in France and he is in Canada.
âY/N just look at what time you are calling me! It is 4 am here where I am!â he said frustrated, it is not the first fight but it is the first time he yells at you that loud.
âOkay Iâm sorry! It is late here too Calum in New Zealand- my point is that we will be okay Calum. After this Iâm going to be home like youâ you tried to calm him.
âAnd then what? Run to film a tv show for a whole week? Just seeing you at nights? We should take a break while we figured it outâ he said and you are frozen trying to check if what he said is real.
âYou are the only one who needs to figured it out, because Iâm sure about us and⊠How could you even wonder and said that you are an obstacle?â. Now it is the opposite because the last thing you said was âOkay, if it is what you want. Go to sleep nâ goodnightâ.
+
You donât know how people could know. But rumors of your relationship are in every social media and it is just been a day. You want to throw your phone but you have to get ready for your show in Australia, what an ironic thing.
It is not the same hype when the beginning of âgoodnight n goâ started. When you are singing the bridge that you were used to laugh thanks to Calumâs reactions. Now your voice breaks and hide your face with your hand and the other one holding your microphone so the public keep singing because you canât. Your dancers changed the choreo to get close to you and let you know that they are there for you but still you start singing again in the next chorus but with a shaky voice. With this people confirms the rumors.
@enews: Our favorite couple is not longer a thing. With this we donât believe in love. Y/N and Calum Hood are taking a break. Days before the couple had some troubles in tour. Y/N broke in tears and Calum didnât go to any interview. Link of the video of Y/N last show in the bio.
+
âI supposed that you already saw thisâ Luke said giving his phone to Calum to show a video someone posted on Instagram. It is from your last night show.
âYeah, I saw itâ he said without making eye contact with his friend. Calum doesnât want to talk about it. He is trying to convince himself that what he did is the best. It breaks his heart watching the video that now it is everywhere and his bandmates noticed how irritated he is with everything.
+
For a whole week Calum barely sleep two hours at nights. He looked off in the shows. He cries during his part in âGhost Of Youâ, he sings spiritless in âValentineâ and he asked to take off âBabylonâ from the tracklist.Â
5sos have new dates in another continents after December holidays.
âYou should talk to Y/N, the Asia leg is going to be over in ten days and after the holidays the South America leg startsâ Michael gave his advice to Calum but once again he didnât give any answer.
+
You took âgoodnight n goâ and âeverytimeâ off from the tracklist and changed it for another song because you tried a couple of shows after but you couldnât do it like it used to be singing that song. Your fans were sad because it is their favorite song but you donât want to cry every single show.Â
You have been in touch with Calum but not much. Just good morning and good night messages and that you are safe in the city you two are in that moment.
+
âHello Mexico City!â Luke said on stage. âWelcome to the Meet You There tour, thanks for having us tonight, letâs have some fun!â
The whole night Calum were late and off key with his voice and bass that multiple times Ashton tried to follow him with the drums. Calum is thinking and worried about you when he saw earlier that you cancelled your shows in Korea because you got a cold that you have to rest your voice. He just wants to talk to you.
When the show ended, Calum throws his bass hard against the floor without caring a thing. After that he went directly to bed, without taking a shower, or eat something. It is been like this for weeks and everyone knows that what he decided was so stupid, but with hope that he learns the lesson.
âCan you explain us what was that?â Ashton said taking off Calumâs hands his phone. âDude this is getting out of control, and we gave you your space and everything but now you are going to admit that what you did was wrong and the only thing you want is your relationship backâ.
âGo awayâ Calum said.
âNo, Hood. You are barely sleeping, eating, focused, happy. This is how relationships work, and we know that it is crazy as fuck when you are famousâ.
âYeah man, it wasnât easy for me and my girlfriendâ Michael said. âAnd now we are going to get married...Look, if it is meant to be and if you really love Y/N, you should fix thisâ.
+
You are back in LA for holidays and tonight you have the last show of the year because the second date of LA you had to cancel it because an allergy you had so you reschedule the show.
You are in the car on your way to the arena when your manager told you to stop by the studio because the new visual that you asked for is ready. It is a recap of this year, so your fans are going to see a couple of unreleased videos and pictures of behind the scenes of this whole year including everything and every person in your life.
In the studio you saw the new visual and you noticed that they didnât put Calum on it. You love him and even when you are on a break, you wanted him in the visual too.
âHmm I can explain itâ your crew member said when another video randomly start in the screen of the computer.
âA mini film by Andy Delucaâ you read in the title. The video shows the different reactions of Calum in every âgoodnight n goâ performance. not just the tour, it also shows the reactions from his house listening to the song, or watching you performing the song on a show. It is a funny video but at the same time so cute and emotional because his reactions are different in every take. Calum screamed âYAAAAS!â or âI LOVE YOU BABY!â, surprised faces, funny faces, lip-synching, etc. And when Andy pointed the camera at you and you hid your laugh with your hand or sleeve, depends on the outfit. Calum says directly to the camera âY/N should stop doing that, Iâm going to say it later because Y/Nâs laugh and smile are gorgeous⊠Okay this is my favorite song, enjoy itâ. And the video ends.
âWow, this is freaking cool but how did you-?â you asked your team when Calum appears from nowhere that scares you.
âI send it to your managerâ he said. âI asked Andy to do this video because as always since the start of our relation I wanted to keep these memoriesâ. When you didnât say anything, he continues. âY/N I know that I fucked up everything and-â he is interrupted by your manager telling your team to leave you two alone. Once alone with Calum in the room he continues again. âI got scared, I had never had a real relationship, this connection and what I feel for you before...Iâm sorryâ.
After a couple of minutes talking and giving your point of view that he didnât let you give months earlier, you said âI love you, but please talk to me because the solution is not running every time things get complicatedâ and you hug him. He tried to kiss you but you said that he has to win your heart again.
+
âHello LA! Hope you enjoy this surprise, happy holidaysâ and the new visuals and videos start playing in the big screen and everyone is laughing, getting emotional, while you drink water backstage you can hear the âawww cuteâ. And last but not least Calumâs video is playing and you are ready for the next song. Everyone screamed and are happy for you to be with him again. So when in the video Calum says âOkay this is my favorite song, enjoy itâ, the beginning of âgoodnight n goâ started.
Tell me why you gotta look at me that way
You know what it does to me
So baby, what you tryna say? Ayy
Lately, all I want is you on top of me
You know where your hands should be
So baby, won't you come show me? Mmm
âFor this next song I would like to call Mister Calum Thomas Hoodâ you said looking at him. He didnât know about this. You sat him in a chair and say on his ear âA little tease never hurt nobody babeâ. Now talking to the audience, âLetâs go!â and the beat of âbreak up with your girlfriend, iâm boredâ went off. Calum is fighting and struggling when you are dancing in front and on top of him.

Itâs been 3 years since Calum entered your room. He is so glad that he interrupted your studio session. And here he is now, watching you performing âgoodnight n goâ like if it was the first time he heard you that night in your home studio, the feeling and the amount of love to you is the same and even bigger he would say, it just changes the place where you are singing this song. Now you donât hide your laugh with your sleeve, and Calum always says how he feels and trusts in your relationship.

My Brain Just Wonât Shut Up
Imagine
âł When your brain just won't be quiet and his comfort is all you needed.
Pairing: Kirishima Eijirou Ă Fem!Reader
TW: Anxiety kinda
Word Count: 1.9k
My mind won't quiet itself. It never stops shouting. I can hear their laughs. Their mocking words and threats.
I shifted in my bed again, trying to find a comfier spot. Maybe it'd quiet the voices in my head. It was almost five in the morning and I couldn't find myself in the blissfulness of sleep. Instead, I lay in bed, wide awake.
"Hey, Loser."
"You're so stupid and weak."
"Why are you still here?"
"No one loves you. Even your mom left you."
My mind won't quit. The events of the past kept popping up. Embarrassing moments, dumb things I'd done, mean things people have said and so on.
I felt tears fall down my cheeks and past the bridge of my nose. I just wanted it to stop. I don't want to remember. I curled myself into a ball, covering my ears as I whispered to myself, "Shut up." Over and over again. Nothing seemed to make it stop.
It was a never-ending battle.
The only pro in this disaster is the fact it was Saturday. I could sleep till three in the afternoon if I pleased. That was if I could fall asleep.
I let out a shaky breath as I sat up and rubbed my eyes free of tears. The room was dark, except for my nightlight in the corner outlet and the dim sunrise light coming through my closed blinds. I let my feet carry me to the door and down the corridor to the elevator.
Perhaps a drink of water would help. Or a snack. Something to occupy me.
As I left the elevator, I cursed at the loud ding. Rather annoying. I heard the clatter of dishes being moved and the small curses accompanied with it. Peering over to the kitchen space, I found a shadow in the low light of the sunrise scavenging through the cupboards.
"Hello?" I questioned. The shadow jumped, knocking over the cup beside them. "L/n?" Kirishima's red hair came to my view. I smiled slightly. "Hey. What are you doing up so early?" I asked, walking over to help with the small mess of water made after the cup fell over.
"Uh, I was a little thirsty. Thought I'd get some water. What about you?" I avoided his gaze and shrugged. "Same here." Though it wasn't the full truth, it wasn't a full lie. I was a little thirsty.
And hungry.
"Ah, okay." I grabbed my own cup of water and an orange and walked over to the table to sit. Kirishima soon joined, sitting right beside me. I smiled over to him and sipped at my water.
"What are your plans for today?" he asked, letting his cup clink against the table. "Uh, nothing much. Do some studying, maybe, What about you?" He smiled wide. "I was hoping to have a movie marathon tonight with the squad."
"Sounds fun. Which series are you guys planning to watch?" I asked as I peeled my orange. "You guys? Are you not coming?" I chuckled. "I thought you said it was the squad. I'm not part of the bakusquad, last I checked. I'm a loner in between everyone else's gangs."
Kirishima let a small whine out. His lips pouted out and his eyes teared up. Fake tears, of course. "I-I thought you were apart of our squad! L/n? Do you not love us?" I laughed. I loved small moments like these. "Of course I do! How could I not love you guys? I just didn't think I was part of it."
"Well, you are. Deal with it." Kirishima pouted his lips out and giggled. "Okay, okay, I surrender. I'm part of the oh-so-amazing bakusquad." Kirishima laughed lightly. "Well I'm gonna head back to bed. See you later, L/n." I waved goodbye as he left to his side of the building.
I sighed. This was nice.
It was already five in the evening. I had gotten in five hours of sleep after my conversation with Kirishima. He let my mind drift to more fun, better moments in my life. I even got an hour-long nap before diner. I had a strange dream during that hour, though.
My father told me a man was crushed to death by an overly large baby. Weird.
Now, I sat in Ashido's dorm room on her bed as we prepared to watch a bunch of our favourite movies. Kirishima sat beside me on the bed sharing a blanket with Bakugou on his other side (It was a miracle he was here). Denki, Ashido and Sero shared a few blankets and pillows on the floor in front of the bed.
"What movie first?" Sero asked. "Doesn't matter to me," Kirishima said. "Mine first!" Denki shouted, going to play his movie on Ashido's computer. "Please don't be anything stupid," I muttered. "Don't worry, Cutie! It's a great action, car chasing type movie. Very funny."
"Cutie? The fuck? Who you talking to?" I snickered. He smirked at me. "Well, of course, the finest woman in this room." I chuckled. "Mina, he's talking to you." She blushed, laughing. "You sure? I think it's you. I mean, have you seen yourself? You're a total hottie!"
I laughed. "She's right, you know," Kirishima whispered. I giggled bashfully. "Well, guess I should say you're pretty hot too," I whispered back, smiling at him.
"Shut the fuck already! Do your flirting elsewhere." Bakugou grumbled. I giggled sheepishly. "Sorry, Sparky. Anyways, on with the movie!"
The third movie came to an end. I was wrapped in a burrito-like blanket barrier. I munched on chips as I watched the credits. "That was good," Sero stated, yawning. "but I'm exhausted. Anyone wanna go to sleep now?"
Bakugou had left after the second movie, so Ashido had joined us on the bed. "I could go for some shut-eye! I need my beauty sleep, you know." She said and leaned into me, sneaking a few chips from my bag. Rude. "Why don't you guys stay the night, just for the hell of it? A slumber party!"
"That's genius," Denki mumbled. I shook my head. "Iida will be all over us when he finds out." Denki groaned. "What's the worst that could happen? There's five of us. What would we do? Have a fivesome?" I snorted.
"Or cause a hell load of trouble and noise, waking up all of Japan and maybe be the reason the world ends." Denki glared. "That's a little excessive." I shrugged. "It could happen."
"Come on! Please! It'll be fun!" I sighed. "Okay, okay. I'm in."
"I'm in too!"
"Me three."
"Me four."
"Yes! Should we get Bakugou?" I huffed. "He'd kill us in his sleep. And I highly doubt he'll want to." I pointed out. "I'll still ask." Kirishima said. "So kind." I muttered. He chuckled.
"He said no." He stated after a few minutes. I laughed. "Called it." Ashido raised from the bed. "Well, if you guys are staying the night, I need to go do my nightly routine first. I'll be right back. L/n, coming with?" I growled. "I'm comfy, though."
She giggled, trying to unwrap me from my burrito blanket. "No! Stop! Mina!" I let out whines as she dragged me from the warmth of the bed and blankets. "It's so cold!"
"You're such a baby."
It was well past three in the morning and the other four had already gone to sleep. Â
Denki snored from his spot on the floor with Sero. Ashido was on her bed puffed out in a starlike position. Kirishima was beside me, a bit of drool falling from his mouth. I giggled. The light from the pink lamp illuminating his face nicely.
"So cute," I whispered. I pushed away a stray hair from his closed eyes and sighed. He's so beautiful. "L/n?"
I shrieked in surprise as Kirishima's eyes cracked open. Kirishima shushed me quickly. "You'll wake up the others!" I glanced around and sure enough, the others shifted in their sleep, though none of them showed signs of being awake.
"What are you doing up?" He asked in a whisper, sitting up. "Couldn't sleep." I shrugged. After rubbing his eyes and giving a yawn, he stared me down. "Why are you staring?" I asked, feeling myself become self-conscious.
"Wanna talk about it?" I raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" He gave a warm and gentle smile. "L/n, I'm dumb but I'm not stupid. I can see you're clearly bothered by something. You've been tired a lot more these days. I almost started mistaking you for Mr. Aizawa."
I muffled a giggle behind my hand. "I'm not that bad, am I?" The redhead nodded. "You still look cute, though." I blushed. "You really wanna know?" Kirishima's hand rubbed my thigh slowly in a show of comfort. I placed my hand on his and leaned closer to his body. I want his warmth.
He gently grabbed my arm and placed them around his waist. I did the same with my other arm and fell into his chest. His hands rubbed slow circles onto the small of my back now. His body radiated warmth and comfort. I could smell his shampoo from the shower he had yesterday. His breath tickled my neck as he dipped his head into the crook of my neck.
"Take your time." He said against my skin. The contact sending a small shiver down my spine. The things he does to me.
"My brain won't shut up," I said quietly. I eyed the three others in their spots. Denki pulled Sero into his arms and let out a small snore. Those two were only friends, but they had more chemistry than my aunt and uncle.
"What is it saying?" Kirishima asked. I sighed. Maybe it's time to confine to him about my troubles.
"It's shouting about every mistake I've made." Kirishima's hold tightened on my waist and his breath tickled my ear as he whispered, "Everyone makes mistakes, you know. It's okay. You should have told me sooner. I'd stop everything I'm doing to help you."
I let out a small cry. "I'm sorry." My heart was loud in my ears. I've wanted him to hold me close like this for so long, but not in this type of situation. "Don't be." I leaned in more (if that was possible) and tightened my grip on him. It was a miracle none of the others woke up.
My tears stopped and I pushed back from his embrace. "Didn't realize I needed to vent that out." I laughed quietly, relieved. "I'm happy to help. Whenever, wherever." I caressed his cheek. He leaned into my touch and smiled a toothy grin.Â
My heart pounded in my chest. His gentle gaze and warm smile was so comforting and beautiful and perfect.
"You're beautiful," I whispered, almost too quiet even for myself to hear.
"Not as beautiful as you."

Hello it me izzywrites57 and this is chapter 2 and 3 it will say maybe half way through the story chapter 3 in the comic with setsuko and akahito. Anyways enjoy.
P.s my idiot is Akahito, insomniac bitch is Setsuko, crazy yandare is Izu, quite child is Ty, waterfall is Aratani and Goddes is Akemi . Also sorry for the bad language. Enjoy
===========================================================
Izu's POV
Hi im Izu Toga yes im the sister of the yandare killer Himiko Toga but thats not important any way i woke up and did my moring routine then went to setsuko's room and i banged at her door multiple times till i heard mumbelling and foot steps then the door opened.
"Hey" i say exited
"...hey" she said tiredly
"Do you want to train with me and Ty before the sports festival arrives?" I asked the tierd freind of mine
"I can't im training with akahito, sorry" she said in a tierd tone
"Oh ok anyway do you want to wake up Tani-chan" i asked her
"Sure" she said with her monotone voice
"YAY" i skipped towards Aratani's room.
Aratani Asui is one of my other friends I sometimes hang out with, her quirk is hedgehog, she is also the daughter of red riot and froppy she also has a four year old little brother. (Izzywrites57-IZU TOGA STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!!!!!! Izu- s-sorry) Me and Setsuko arrived at Aratani's room and I started banging on the door
"TANI-CHAN WAKE UUUPPPPP!!!!" I shout very loudly.
===========================================================
Setsuko's POV
As izu is banging on the door and shouting I look at my phone and I got a text from Akahito.
My Idiot: hey if your coming over to train wait for me at the gate
Insomniac bitch: okay
I put my phone away and I see Aratani and Izu starring at me with smirks plastered on their faces.
"What?" I asked
"Who you talking too, hmmm" izu said still with a smirk on her face
"I was texting akahito about what time i should go to his house to train" i said calmly
" Yeah right 'training' " Izu quotes the word training with her fingers
"For all we know you could be planning to go on a date" Aratani says in her usal calm voice
"First no we are not going on a date second have you confessed to Akemi your feelings yet, Ara-chan? hmm" i say with a smirk. Aratani blushes at the fact of confessing to Akemi. Aratani likes Akemi Todoroki a lot and i can't blame her Akemi is a nice, kind and a little bit shy and plus sometimes me and Aratani talk about our crushes but she mostly talks about hers.
(Time skip to class also this time skip is brought to you by toga simping over deku)
Izu's POV
I'm in class not really paying any attention to this lesson so i decide to throw a paper ball at Suou Bakugou. I have i crush on him and Aratani knows cause we talked about it anyway but i think he feels the same and i'm not planning on confessing cause i know he probaly doesn't like me so thats why i'm not going to confess, anyway he then turns around and glares at me uhh i think im going to die.
Setsuko's POV
I see izu throwing a paper ball at Suou Bakugou. The dude is scary as he speaks in a low rought grumbeling voice. But all i know izu shouldn't have done that i am sure she is going to die after class. As i was thinking of what kind of trouble izu got into i feel a tap on my shoulder from behind me and i turn around it Akahito.
"What do you want?" i asked annoyed
"Why so mean setsu-chan" he whined
"I'm not asking again what do you want?!!" i asked more annoyed
"Have you heard that Izu has a crush on Suou from what i heard from Aratani-chan"
"Is that so" i said as a smirk grew on my face
"Yeah..."he said as he was suprised of my response
"Your friends with Suou-kun right??" I asked Akahito curios
"Yeah why?" He asked confused
"Ok so heare is the plan..." i said with a smirk
===============================
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chapter 3
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
(Time skip after school ended brought by me because i'm lazy lol)
Izu's POV
I'm walking back to the dorms with Akemi, Setsuko and Tani-chan when a rough hand grabs my wrist and i get pulled behind the dorms building.
Then i saw who grabbed me it was Suou i widened my eyes in fear.
"Look im sorry i throwed that paper ball at you i was bored i had nothing to d-" i got intrupted from my babeling when he began to talk
"Look i will let you off this time but don't do it again GOT IT!?" He shoted at the end of the sentance. I nodded and then i left to go back to my room. 'I am never going to annoy him again he could of killed me but leted me off, i just got lucky this time' i thought to my self as im walking through the halls of the dorm rooms.
#############################
(Big time skip cause im lazy af)
Setsuko's POV
It has been nearly two weeks since everybody trained for the sports festival we only have three days left and everybody is finished training and everybody is in the common room bored nothing to do then going on our devices, then Izu-chan stands up and speaks
"We all should have a movie night as a class as we worked so hard training for two weeks"
"Thats a great idea Izu-san we should definetly do that" Akemi says as she agrees
"Okay so Izu-chan, Ty-chan and Akahito-kun should go to the store and get snacks along with Setsuko-chan and Tani-chan, you guys need to buy some blankets and pillows also and here is my credit card use it contactless to pay" akemi says as she takes charge and gives me her credit card.
"Everybody else if you need anything from the store you can go with them if not pick out some games and movies to watch later" Akemi continues giving orders to the class.
Then i see Suou walking towards us then he starts speaking
"Can i come with you guys i need some stuff for training" he says as he places his right hand behind his head. Suou can be a bit timid at times when he isn't angry or glaring at people.
"...Sure?" izu says confused
After that i feel wheight on my shoulder and i see Akahito's arm around my shoulder and i feel my self blushing
"Looks like we are spending quality time with me while shopping~" he says in a flirty voice i roll my eyes
"In your dreams" i say annoyed
"Your always im my dreams tho" he says not stoping with the flirting
"You pervert" i shout at him walking quickly towards Ty
"You okay?" She asks in her normal bored monatone voice
"Yeah...i'm okay" i say still flustered from earlier.
===============================
Akahito POV
I really like Setsuko but she always ignores me or what ever i do but when i talk with her or flirt with she blushes a little bit which i gusse it good but i known her since we were kids and it may seem cheesy to fall for your childhood best friend but she is so cute and i want us to be more then childhood best friends but i don't know if she feels the same.
===============================
Third POV
As the six students walk to the nearest mall they chat about their training and other stuff.
This is the first time the first years will have a class gather and rveryone is excited.
Back at the dorms Akemi and some other students prepares the common room with food, sweets and decaorating the common room abit.
===============================
Setsuko's POV
I get my phone out as i am walking and i start texting Akemi
Insomniac bitch: hey can you tell everybody to pick out a scary movie
Goddess: why?? Is it because you want to get close to Akahitođ
Insomniac bitch: 1. No 2. It not for me because i love scary movies and 3. It for some other people
Godess: oh so your playing cupid. Okay can i join? And who are these people??
Insomniac bitch: yeah, and these people are Izu and Bakugou Suou
Goddess: okay also everyone picked up lots of horror movies
Insomniac bitch: good anyway bye we arrived at the mall
Goddess: okay bye
I put my phone away and everyone walks in the mall.
"We will have two groups of three and we will meet here once we are all back" izu said and everyone nodded
"Okay group 1 Setsuko-chan, Aratani-chan and Akahito" izu explained and i send her a death glare she just chukeled. I know what she is doing she is trying to set me up with akahito.
"Group 2 is me, Bakugou-kun and Ty-chan" she explained the who was in the last group. After that me, Akahito and Tani-chan seperated away from Izu's group and we walked around talking.
===============================
Izu's POV
As we were walking we talked about different stuff and by we i mean me Ty as Suou was very quite not talking.
"So where do we go first?" I asked ty and suou
"Can we go here i need some dumbells for my training" Suou said pointing to the store next to us.
"Sure" i replied back
We entered the store and we walked for about two minutes trying to find the dumbells but never found them so we stayed longer in the shop.
"Hey guys i'm going to the toilet really quickly" Ty said as she started walking in some random direction to get to her destination, i just nodded and stayed with Suou. I went to see what i could find for my training so i just went to the next isle. I was looking through some stuff when someone grabbed my shoulders, i turned around and it was some punk.
"Hey, how about we ditch this place and go back to my apartment with me." He said in a very creepy way. I scrunched my nose allitle before i pushed him off but no he had to pin me on the wall, i hear foot steps getting closer from the isle from the right...
===============================
Suou's POV
I walked towards the next isle and when i entered it i saw something that made me just to blow up in anger. I saw Izu getting pinned by a punk. I don't what i felt but this feeling just flooded over me, so without thinking my body moved on it on and i started walking towards them then my hands started exploding little explosions
"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BASTARD" i shouted at this man
"Go away kid and who are you anyway? Her boyfriend" the man spoke back
"I am your worst nightmare but if you don't let her go she will kill you" i said with venom
"And yes i am her boyfriend so back off" i continued
I saw her starting to get fidgety she really wanted to kill this guy but she was trying not to get her yandare side out.
"What ever kid, i could do so much better than him" he said as he turned towards her. I grabbed her wrist and walked out of that isle far away from that guy.
Then i relaised she was fidgety because she was scared.
"Are you okay dumbass?" i asked with concern linhering im my voice
"...yeah i'm ok, thanks" she replaied but she was still shaking. I don't know what camed over me but i hugged her.
"I'm glad your safe" i mumbled quitely. Then i felt her hug me back. We seperated from the hug and we went to get the dumbells then gone to find her friend ty. When we did find Ty we went to the cashire to pay for what i brought. Then we exited the shop.
We walked around the shop till we stoped
"Dumbass why did you stop?" I asked
"Riiight sooo i need to get some stuff from this shop so either you come with me and ty or you stay outside" she was pointing at a clothing shop i wanted to say no but i need some more t-shirts
"I'll go with you two i need some t-shirts any way." I said as i fllowed them.
(5 mins later)
We exited the shop after we payed then we went to the sopt we were supposed to meet with everyone but since we were early the girls decided to go to the near McDonald's so all three of us got some drinks and went outside waiting for the others.
===============================
Setsuko's POV
We walked back to the meeting spot while carring large bags with blankets and pillows and snacks.
Aratani carried the bag with all the snacks while me and akahito are carrying the biggest bag with lots of blankets and pillows so i held one of the handel and akahito held the other. Me and him were talking about our quirks and how crazy there are. After loads of walking we arrived at the meeting spot and we saw Ty, Izu and Suou they were waiting for us while drinking McDonald's drinks.
"Aww man izu-chan you should of got me one too" akahito whined
"Nah, suck it bitch" she said as she showed him the middle finger i giggled at their stupidness
"Tyyy-chan please tell me you got me a drink" he said
Ty just nodded and handded him a large coca cola out of no where.
"Thank you" he said as if he was dieing and camed back to life.
Everybody laughed at his stupidness.
Oh did i mention that Akahito , Ty and Izu are the three demonic kids in UA, their know as The Deamon Kids and let me explain what they do, so these idiots cause trouble from spreading rumours to pranking the staff and snicking out at night for a trip to McDonald's for food, you wondering how i know this well i was ith them when one othese happened at it was fucking 3 in the morning and i asked them if they do this often and said yes and they only get either milkshakes or hot chocolate nothing to heavy and only happens twice a week. (Anyway back to the present)
We were nearly back to our dorms and everybody was getting tiered as we all got the chanse of carying the heavy blankets and pillows.
(10 mins later)
We arrived at the dorm and Akemi opened it
"Ho guys what took you all so long it nearly seven" she asked concerned with the amount of hours we were gone.
"Sorry but we had to stop on our way to a convinace store to get more snacks cause some morans were eating the ones we got on the way here" i said as i send a death glare to Izu, Ty and Akahito
"So whats the movie did you guys picked?" I asked curiously also knowing that it a horror movie.
"We picked Chucky"
"Thats great" i said with a bit of fear in my voice. I love scary movies don't get me wrong but chucky is...well to demonic.
After 30 minutes of everyone making a big pillow fort for 12 people we started setteling in.
I was in the fort with Ty, Izu, Suou,'why yes this dumbass was here too im gusseing because of Akemi's brothers and Akahito. Anyway back to listing' Akemi and her bros, Aratani and...Akahito and the others were either on the couch or on the floor. Akemi pressed play and the movie began.
Couple of minutes of the movie a jumpscare comes up and i jump a little but then i feel something go up on my back i jump and fall on my vack on to something or someone.
"Ahh sorry setsuko i just wanted to scare you i didn't mean this to happen" Akahito whispered
(Izzywrites57- you wandering how she fell she felled on her back on Akahito's chest cause why not đđ)
"I-it o-ok d-don't worry a-a-about it >\\\<" i sturttered 'why tf did i stutter' i thought to my self
"Oh thank god i thought you were about to get mad." He whispered. I sat back up and i saw izu litrally kinda cuddeling with Suou. I took a picture then sent it to the group chat with akemi, aratani, ty and me.
Dumb bitches gc
#Insomniac bitch attached an attachment#
Quite child: whos that
Goddess: OMG is that izu with Suou??
Watterfall: wait whos that ?? đ€š

Waterfall: shouldn't you be cuddeling with akahito, setsuko?? đ
Insomniac bitch: đł n-no
Waterfall: how the fuck do you stutter through text??
Quite child: lmao
Insomniac bitch: this is not about me
I looked around the tent to see akemi, aratani and ty giggling quitely then i looked at izu and saw her kinda asleep on souo's houlder and he kinda felt asleep on her head. I was about to take another picture when i felt a wheight on my shoulder, i looked down and saw akahito on MY shoulder, i felt my cheeks quicky warming up but then i relaised i didn't take another picture of izu and suou so i did take another picture after that i felt really sleepy and decided to put my head on top of Akahito's and sleep slowly took over me.
Akemi's POV
I saw setsuko put her head on Akahito's so i took a picture after i did that my younger brothers tapped my shoulder and i looked at them
"We are going back to our dorms now see you tomorrow sis"
"Ok, sleep well" i said as they left.
After that i took my phone out and texted izu
Crazy Yanedere
Goddess: i see you and suou cuddeling, are you scared of the movie
Crazy yandere: yea im scared because i hate horror movies so what is it to you
Goddess: woah chill im just teasing, but are you okay you seem flustered even through text.
Crazy yandere: uh yeah i gusse im just sleepy
I put my phone away and then i saw on my shoulder aratani sleeping. I blushed for a second then i turned towards the tv and continued watching.
===============================
Izu's POV
I felt sleepy so i put my head on Suou's shoulder and thats when i felt my eyes closing slowly.
===============================
Suou's POV
I felt a wheight on my shoulder so i looked and saw izu on my shoulder sleeping peacefully. I felt my cheeks getting warm so i put my head on top of hers and slowly going into slumber.

I love your fanfics! And I was wondering do you have any tips for original fanfic writing or just writing fics in general?
wow this actually ended up a lot longer than i thought it would, but here we go!
Original fanfics, hmmmmmm....
What I generally do is base things off of my own personal experience. Like all my iida fics are stuff that happened between me and my husband before we got married. Canât help falling in love fic with bakugo, that was a previous relationship i had (which there is more to that story). Caught with todoroki..... thats how i got out of a ticket with a cop and how i learned that when i half check someone out and half start thinking about what i would do to that fine man in uniform (curse my uniform kink) that i glare/make a suspicious face. and when he confronted me about what i was doing, ready to write some kind of ticket for whatever i was doing wrong, i was so embarrassed that i blurted out that i found him very attractive and what exactly was on my mind and how i wanted to take that uniform off him.... that has happened with a emt too, i missed the green light looking at his bulging biceps after he rolled up his sleeves to write on a clip board.... he waved and i proceeded to squat in my seat and slam my face against the stirring wheel. escape artist cat was actually a dream i had, someone was taking off my catâs pretty ribbon collars and putting ugly ones on her and i woke up sooooo mad, but i turned that dream into a romance story (reality kuiper was taking her collars off herself cause she was a brat) Stories about yourself, no matter how small you think it is actually has great potential to become a fic.
its also okay to borrow ideas from other forms of media. I do. example, Silk Maiden, based off of an old batman episode from the early 2000s. its completely okay to do that. Iâm not saying copy and paste the exact scenes. Just take the premises and then change it. some examples, like the movie Brave is the Scottish version of Aladdin. the princess who wants to be free and live her life beyond her princess duties needs to get married and she is not having it and wants to change the rules and runs away to find something new. premise is the same but how the story is told is different, one denies every prince and find her own prince in the streets of her kingdom and the other finds a cake that turns her mom into a bear that helps them understand each other and appreciate each other more. a weeb example is isekais. There are sooooo many isekais. japan, Korea, and china are all mass producing isekais right now. the premises are all the same, someone from one world now in another world primarily thanks to magical truck-kun who is probably could be branded as a mass serial killer at this point. I read a lot and i love korean isekai romance novels. I have read an isekai where the character was a villain who then was reincarnated with the memories of her villainous previous life who decided to live her new life by repenting by helping others but guess what? truck-kun came in the form of a airplane crash and she wakes up again in her first lifeâs preteen body before she became a villain. Iâm reading an isekai isekai, author of an isekai met truck-kun and woke up inside the body of one of her characters in her isekai novel. all the same premise but told in a different way. i want to write an isekai for bnha! take a premise and write what you wanted to see happen between those characters if they were in that situation.
same for some fanfics, like you read a fanfic and you like the story that you read but you wished for something more. You like the idea but you wished that it went in this direction or you wanted different types of interaction, its okay to write your own fic with the same premises. iâve done that. (side note: but if you are gonna base off of it where a lot of the stuff is the same the give the proper credit where it deserves. no stealing peoples hard work) thats what fanfic was originally made for, fans wanted something more from their favorite works or wants something different (Thank you star trek fandom who started all this). Iâve read a lot of villain deku fics and i was craving a specific type of villain fic where âhe really isnt a villain but is one but there is a reason why hes being evil cause it is for the greater good cause of dekuâs savior complex and border line martyr complex heâs had since he was a childâ with a side of âhero/villain romanceâ, âsurprise quirkâ and âbadassâ and a healthy scoop of âbakugo becomes a better person on his own without deku at UA through the power of friendship cause he has that potential without dekuâs constant interferenceâ. no one had what i wanted, so i started writing it myself.
also dont worry about being original. you can write a common idea that everyone sees a thousand times a day, like isekai, and people will love it. focus on how you are telling your story, dont put so much effort in being different. actually, common or typical tropes/ideas help make the story more relatable. two books can be equally as good but one person can like book A over book B because they felt more connected to the characters in it. they could relate to the emotions that were being conveyed.Â
now writing tips....hmmmmm well not everything works for everyone but this is what i do
I write notes down, lots of them. I have notebooks full of notes for my fics. some people can just sit there and start writing, but i like notes to keep me on track and remind me of stuff i wanted to add. Writing it down makes it easier not to forget, cause you are just lying to yourself if you think youâll remember the idea for later. i got dialogue, scenes, plots, random quirk ideas, diagrams, (12) oc profiles, outlines, lists, and a event idea that i have that i want to do some day, all in my notebook. If you are going to write a long fic i strongly encourage that you do this. Outlines are your friend, they are bones of the story Ex:
Hero By Another Name original outline:
meet at a fire, firefighter impresses kiri who will later seek her out
kiri is becoming popular and wants to share the fame
they bond some how(?)
firefighter kiri, kirishima needs to wear a firefighter uniform
firefighter turns out to be a mega fan of red riot
photoshoot
kirishima finds out shes a nerd and is cool with it
firefighter is now popular
camping with baku or bakusquad?
miscommunication
kirishima does a big confession
I always start off with the key things i want for sure to happen. then i start adding to it. I write out the scene i definitely want to see or i can see clearly in my head. i just keep adding to it till its at least three pages long of just outline that has some images, random dialogue i want someone to say or little summaries of the scene i want.
its okay to jump around when you write. there are some parts that you know you need in a story to help it move a long but it can be boring. so i write one scene that i want to happen next and then i think of what needs to happen to get to that point. like how in hero another name where kirishima shows up unannounced to her apartment and finds out she hoards all his hero merch while not wearing pants. how do you make that not sound creepy and have kirishima be okay with it? by adding bits of how much of a fan she is through out the story! when they first have dinner together i threw in that red riot shirt to help break the ice and that he would then know that she was a big enough fan to buy his merch and that she admires him and that he is an inspiration for her. then later adding that interview where she talks about how she became his fan shows that she has years of dedication to him as a hero. so when he sees all the merch she has, it would make sense to him that she had all of that and not go âhuh, will i be able to leave this place if i enter?â
if you dont know it, look it up. research. i wrote a fic before where the reader was pregnant the entire time, i started at two months to birth. I knew nothing about pregnancy on how it can affect your daily life and what it feels like beyond what health class and child development class taught me. So i looked it up. there is seriously so much that doctors look for during those many ultrasounds cause there are so many things that can affect your health and the babyâs and did you know there is pregnancy diabetes? you can become diabetic only during pregnancy, like after you give birth it can go away or stay, the human body is just tripy. but thanks to that research, people who have had children before left comments going âyessss, i remember feeling thatâ or âgod, this was my sister in this scene, it sucksâ. Its that relatability i mentioned before that really helps and it makes the story more believable.
(this is just my personal opinion mainly here feel free to ignore) when it comes to smut, write what you know and not what you fantasize about. im not calling anyone out but i can tell from how someone writes sex that they never had it and they are most likely younger than me. iâve experimented a lot in my 25 years of life and i find myself going âoh sweetie, thats not how the vagina/anus worksâ when i read fics sometimes. there are guides online that are very informative and tell you what the feelings are like that you would expect. dont rely on porn too much on how sex works physically, maybe for dialogue. (i think of porn as just live action fanfics for the human mating ritual fandom). its okay to use other smuts as reference tools as well, especially if you dont know anything of the bdsm lifestyle.
beta readers help a lot. if you are unsure of ideas that you have, talk it out with a friend. I sometimes do this for myself or help others with their fics. its actually a lot of fun with a group of people where you just keep shooting off ideas together about stuff and just go all out fangirlling to the point you are rolling on the ground smiling. this can help with writers block or motivate you to keep writing. also having another pair of eyes to look at your fics, not just for corrections but for input on the story can help make it better. someone can see things from a different angle and point stuff out to you, plot holes or things that you can add.
im not sure what else to say other than stuff like format and spacing. sometimes i see people who write too long of paragraphs or there is no clear separation between them. thats killer on the eyes and makes me not want to read at all cause all i see is this wall of text thats just overwhelming. i want to call who ever formatted textbooks cause thats how they do it and it makes it so hard to concentrate on reading and absorbing the info. if i see fics with no clear breaks or long running paragraphs, i usually give up half way cause i just cant do it. its hard to keep track where you are reading and you start trying to focus on it too much that the story is just lost on me. it is hard on people like me who have dyslexia (who ever called it that is just cruel to people who have it cause you can never spell it without spell check and pronouncing it is just ugggh)Â
i hope this helps

*not my gif credit to owner*
_______Â
y/n p.o.v.
Landing at the airport was different, getting off the plane to humidity was gross and I definitely needed 10 showers but as promised I told Shawn I would come out for his Miami and Orlando shows. Waiting at baggage claim you couldnât help but smile remembering Shawn FaceTiming you in his hotel room shirtless white sheets surrounding him as he pouted and begged until you agreed to take time off work to fly out from Toronto to see him for his âMiami magicâ shows as he called them. After that call not even 3 minutes later you got an email from Andrew with your airline tickets. Assuming he already asked Andrew to get them and was just waiting for you to say yes like the dozen other times its worked in that order as if you could ever tell him no.Â
So here you were waiting to get off the plane and head over to baggage claim.
While Shawn couldnât pick you up for obvious reasons Brian offered to pick you up right after they finished setting up the venue not even 10 minutes after you grabbed your luggage you were being crushed in a bear hug being caught off guard you pushed the body away from you realizing it was the infamous redhead you went in for a hug with the same force. Smiling from ear to ear.
âI missed youâ Brian smiled at you kissing your temple âremind me why you canât join the tour again.â He asked smirking taking your luggageÂ
âSome of us have to work for real Bri we canât all travel and follow our crushes around like lost puppiesâ I joked and nudged his shoulder watching his face turn red referencing Alessia and Liv Shawns opener and her best friend for the tourÂ
âAnywaysâ he clears his throat before continuing âhave you seen anything on-â Brian was cut off by your phone ringingÂ
*Incoming call from rockstar*Â
Brian smirked at you before you shoved him again answering the FaceTimeÂ
âHello, rockstar what do I owe the pleasure?â You teased through the cameraÂ
âBelieve me the pleasures all mine, just making sure you landed safely you didnât text me backâ he answered as his ears tinted pink lighting up your phone screenÂ
âShe didnât answer because sheâs with the better version of you Shawn, weâre on our way back to the venueâ he spoke into the phoneÂ
âOh, Iâm not at the venue Andrew wanted to go out to lunch so weâre out now Iâll see you, honey, when I get back to the venue okay, Iâm so glad youâre hereâ he smiled at you and blush covered his cheeks.
âOkay rockstar see you soonâ you smiled warmly at him as the FaceTime disconnected.Â
Brian smirked at you, âLet's go to the venue Tiny is waitingâ grabbing your luggage Brian headed towards the car.
ââââÂ
First it was the Miami show watching from a distance, dealing with Camila wearing all white so Shawn could spot her in the crowd when he performed and the glances he kept sneaking over in her direction is what started your bubble of irritation and her suggesting the beach the next day when she knew you didnât favor the Ocean is what was getting you past your boiling point.Â
Shawn asked you to come out but didnât tell you Camila was here too, not that you necessarily had a problem with her in the past you never favored her. She was always tugging on Shawns heartstrings and he always ran to you to fix him back up with cuddles and loving that was a little much to be considered just best friends. You thought this Miami show was going to be the next step for you guys but you were wrong, clearly.Â
It started After the Miami show when you waited side stage per tradition for Shawn to come hug you before making his rounds for âIn My Bloodâ. You stood there like an idiot when his band members started coming off stage one by one and the song ended. Shawn nowhere in sight exited from a different stage entrance. You waited it out a good 10 minutes watching the arena clear out slowly from where you stood. Thinking why the hell did you fly out here to get ignored. Not having seen Shawn all day except for a brief 5 minutes before the show started you were about to storm out to the bus area when Connor walked past and stopped when he noticed youÂ
âOh y/n what are you doing back hereâ he chuckledÂ
Clearing your throat you didnât really have an answer âI was just about to get to the bus to grab my bag to get ready to go to the hotelâ you looked away emotions hitting at once.Â
First Shawn didnât see you in person till before the show started, leaving you to spend all day with Brian and Connor and when you finally saw Shawn he was attached to the hip with Camila, you two were supposed to go out to eat at a cafe you both loved only to find out the real reason why he couldnât pick you up from the airport was because he took Camila there instead Andrew nowhere in sight.Â
Shaking your head and closing your eyes you felt Connor getting closer to you taking steps towards you with a confused look on his face and then his eyes widened âyou were waiting for Shawn, heâs in his dressing roomâ he gave you sad smile âis it, Camilaâ he asked with a sincere smile no hate or underline in his tone just concernÂ
âFuck haha that makes me sound so pathetic, my best friend paying attention to another girl and here I am hurt over itâ you joke as you look up trying not to let the tears fall using your hands to hold your face with your eyes peaking outÂ
âIt doesnât, and youâre allowed to feel that way. We all know you guys have something special heâs being an idiot. Honestly, she changes a lot of things. Since she joined the vibe has been different and everyoneâs noticing but no one wants to say anything thatâs why Andrew suggested to fly you out to try andâ Connor stopped talking eyes going wide and looked at you shaking his head âI didnât mean it like that at okay obviously Shawn wants you here heâs just an idiot and needs help sometimesâ he tried to fix his mistake but it was too late your mind was reelingÂ
Shawn didnât even want you out here, he only asked because Andrew suggested it and he didnât know how to say no, Connor took a step towards you closing the space between you guys and pulled you into his chest hugging youÂ
âHeâs a fucking idiot okay but donât let it change your trip okay, think of it as a mini-vacation instead youâre only here for 2 more shows letâs make the most of it. And if we do any team things Iâll be right next to you okayâ he talked into your ear his cheek resting on the side of your head in your hair he was about to speak again when Shawn started talking from down the hallÂ
âTiny what are you doing man we need you Iâm going to take an ice bath-â he stopped talking when he got closer and realized Connor was hugging someone with his back to Shawn he didnât notice you since Connor was a little tallerÂ
âOi, what the hell what happenedâ Shawn squeaked pushing Connor from you and looking at your face for any sign of distress âwhatâs wrongâ he looked down at you but you looked at Connor, Shawn turned and looked at Connor âwhat did you do Brashierâ Shawn spoke to himÂ
âWhatâ Connor squeaked ânothing I was on my way backstage and-â Connor looked to you and you gave him a look warning him not to mention anythingÂ
âAnd whatâ Shawn glared at him getting defensive over youÂ
âNothing Shawn everythingâs fine really I just messed up something with work and Connor was comforting meâ you smiled at him and moved his arm that made its way across your shoulder moving towards Connor who was in front of ShawnÂ
Shawn looked down at you hurt flashing across his eyes and was about to say something when you heard the clicking of heels. Camila was running towards Shawn heels clicking along the concrete floors getting louder and louder the closer she got hearing her squeal she wrapped Shawn in a big hug and he lifted her off the ground wrapping his arm around her torso and hoisting her up to level with him they immediately went into a kiss Shawns concern for you long gone and forgotten.
You felt Connor looking at you sadly, you just nodded your head towards the buses and walked outside the venue feeling him follow closely behind.
That night Shawn, Camila and some of the crew went out for drinks. Brian stayed with Alessia who headed to Orlando right after the show because they wanted to go to some of the amusement parks in the area before soundcheck the next day.
Laying on your hotel bed hugging a pillow to your chest after checking your phone you found out Shawn and Camila were at the club from one of the crew members Instagram stories. Shawn didnât even invite you or let you know where he was going. He forgot about you again.
Glad you had your own room you wouldnât have to deal with Shawn, usually when you came on tour he was clingy not that you minded you loved him and would do anything for him he usually wanted to share a room with you so you could cuddle and hang out but obviously that was already being done.Â
Sighing you heard a knock on your hotel room door leaving it alone thinking they would go away because no one even knew you were here you let it be until it got louderÂ
âOkay Iâm coming hold onâ you shouted as you made your way through the ensuite to the door opening it seeing Connor holding a pizza box and a grocery bag of snacksÂ
Smiling at him âConnor Brashier and what do I owe the pleasureâ stepping back to make way for him to come in he smiled at youÂ
âThought you could use some companyâ he shrugs and goes to put everything into your bed âI brought snacks, food, and moviesâÂ
âYouâre the best Brashier honestlyâ you smile at him and notice him standing awkwardly next to the bed you go to pull him onto the bed next to you digging out the plates and napkins, eating and snaking talking about college courses and how he handled touring so young. You both fell asleep after a couple of movies and before Shawn sent a mass group text telling everyone to get ready for the beach in a couple of hours.Â
___Â
Youâre second day here and have probably seen Shawn for a total of 20 minutes altogether. You texted him about breakfast after he sent out the text about the beach to find out he was already out with Camila from pictures all over social media.Â
For the past two days, that's how youâve seen Shawn, plastered all over the internet with the short girl attached to his hip at your guysâ favorite restaurants kissing or eating each other as you saw it. Both of them eating at places he promised he would take you out to when you landed, and here you were spending more time with his tour photographer and seeing the inside of your hotel room than him.
The only person that seemed to care was Connor, and even then it was because when you guys all went to the beach despite your disapproval. But you couldnât handle the waves, Con saved you from almost drowning, being surrounded by 6ft something guys everyone just kept going deeper and deeper into the water, usually you would be holding onto Shawn but he seemed to be pre-occupied and Brian left on the bus with Alessia to head out early to Orlando so your only lifeline was Con.
Your fear of large bodies of water completely went over Shawns head when Camila said she knew the perfect beach to go to, Connor offered to stay behind with you not being a big fan of the ocean himself but Shawn wasnât having it. He wanted the whole team to go. The beach was the final straw, you were ready to go home after his Miami show clearly you werenât welcome here with Camila pulling him every which way and you definitely werenât the type of person to fight for a guys attention.
Watching her cling on to him for dear life and watching them make out in front of paps has gotten annoying and frustrating. You wanted to yell at Shawn and Andrew for even inviting you but you were more hurt than anything. You were easily forgotten and no one seemed to notice.
Connor kept his promise and stood by you the entire day which he was truly an angel for. When the waves got a little stronger Con noticed Camila and you struggling to keep afloat Shawn automatically went to Camila leaving Connor to help you attach yourself to him. You and Con stayed on the other side of Cez in the water across from Shawn and Mila. You rested your head on Conâs shoulder most of the time due to being tired from the movie marathon the night before and irritation from Shawn. You noticed Shawn glaring in your guys direction, Connor must have to because he wasnât having any of it so he kept twirling you in the water keeping a firm grip on your waist and made sure your arms were wrapped securely around his neck, keeping up a conversation to distract you which you were happy for.Â
After the beach Camila wanted to go to the Hotel pool and swim for a bit you were going to excuse yourself but again Shawn wanted the entire team to go leaving you no choice but to follow.Â
Now here you were 2 days after landing you found yourself in your hotel room packing up your suitcase ready to leave after leaving the hotel pool to Shawn and Camila eating each other once again in front of everyone and paparazzi, having enough of seeing Shawn swallow Camila you were tired of it. You told Con you were going back to your room and left without saying goodbye to anyone.Â
Texting your friend about everything she agreed you should just come home. You thought yours and Shawns relationship was stronger than this, being friends for 15 years youâve been with him through everything and never has he ignored you this bad or left you to your own defenses or even alone at all, when you joined him on tour regardless of what girl he had on his arm he always prioritized you and if his girl couldnât get that he wouldnât waste his time with her. You thought this trip was what was going to finally take things into the next step of your guys' relationship but clearly, you were wrong. This trip was a dud and all for nothing and you were left fuming.
Your thoughts about the horrid past two days were broken when you heard pounding on your hotel door about 15 minutes later.
âWhy did you leave?â You hear Shawn stomp in after hearing the door slam forgetting Andrew had the second key to each of the rooms. You cursed under you breathe. He walked in shirtless hair still damp from the pool wearing his Nike shorts. He sounded pissed.
âBecause I got tired of being ignoredâ you look at him shrugging your shouldersÂ
He narrowed his eyes at you âthis is about Camila, isnât it? She said you were jealous I shouldâve knownâÂ
âAre you fucking kidding me?â You look at him and heâs gone all defensive again arms crossed over his chestÂ
âYou left the pool do you know how rude that was, Camila just wanted to have a nice off the day with everyone and you fucking left without telling anyoneâ he looked at youÂ
âCon knew I was leaving I told himâ you huffed and watched him roll his eyesÂ
âOh yeah your new best friend right, after I fly you out here all you can do is spend time with Connorâ you heard hurt and sarcasm in his tone and it only made you mad
âYou do not get to do this to me Shawn Iâm fucking tired of it, donât drag Connor into this he didnât do anything wrongâÂ
âTired of what y/n the truth youâve been spending time with Connor more than me I havenât seen you in months and the first time I see you youâre wrapped up in Connors' arms and I find out form Andrew that Con didnât sleep in his room he was with you the entire nightâ Shawn shouts at youÂ
Rubbing your temples you look up to see a red-faced Shawn âNo Shawn I'm tired of you ignoring me the second I stepped foot off the plane-âÂ
âwhat are you talking aboutâ he scoffsÂ
âlet me finishâ you glare at him âYouâre right I've been spending time with Connor but because my best friend didnât even want me out here in the first place, how do you think that makes me feel Shawn honestly you beg me to come out here to hang out to see some shows I finally take time off work which I donât have because I visited you for 3 weeks a couple of months ago, but I made it work because you said you needed me out here.â Youâre about to cry but continue after taking a breath âAs soon as I land I find out youâre doing everything you promised to do with me but with Camila.â You sigh rubbing your temples looking up at him âI'm not going to fight for your attention Shawn you know that, so yes I left and I'm oh so sorry for upsetting your little girlfriend but clearly Iâm not welcome here and Iâm tired of seeing you go out and do our favorite things with someone else.â You look at him and you see the pain behind his eyes and he's about to respond when his phone rings in his hand and a picture of Camila pops up on the screen.Â
You scoff âof fucking courseâ you grab your purse and head out of the hotel room and make your way to Connors room hoping he left the pool when you did.Â
Knocking on his door and not receiving any answer you know he's still at the pool, you go to reach for your phone before realizing you left it in your hotel room and youâd be damned if you went to confront Shawn again. Making your way into the lobby you ask the concierge to leave a message for Connors room so when he got back to his room he would know you went out and didn't have a phone but not to worry youâd be back before dark.Â
You were walking around for what felt like hours, not remembering where you roamed off to you had a headache and you're sure you looked like death. You noticed some who you assumed were fans looking at you but you could care less. Eyes bloodshot and puffy you were tired and feeling pain in your feet from walking so far but being too stubborn to turn back. The last thing you remember was it being too hard to breathe feeling a sharp pain in your back and seeing black spots before you heard someone scream your name and felt the ground under you.Â
---Â
Shawns p.o.v.
Watching y/n walkout was the hardest thing I felt like a piece of me walked out of the door but it was my fault for not telling her about Mila and expecting her to go along with whatever plans I obviously didnât tell her about. I felt like I let her down that I let us down.
I've been so stressed about tour and Senorita coming out when Camila told me her boyfriend broke up with her because of me I felt awful and she kinda just stuck around after that.Â
Sitting down at dinner with Camila I can feel her starring at the side of my face. I kept my phone in my hand waiting for a call from Connor to tell me he found her. Biting the inside of my cheek I hoped she would come back by now. Y/n left as the sun was about to set and in my attempt to call her back into the room I realized she left her phone behind. I broke down into a panic and that's how Connor found me with Camila trailing behind him upset that I wasn't ready for dinner and that I left her at the pool.Â
Here I sat with Camila and her family talking about last nights show and how it was probably the best show out of the entire tour. Feeling Camilaâs eyes boring into the side of my head I turned to look at her and gave her a kiss trying to portray that I was here with her and she had my full attention. She already chewed me out for leaving her with the team, and how y/n was being selfish and inconsiderate of her feelings. How she didnât get to see me as often as she wanted either.Â
My phone glued to my hands waiting for anything to pop up about y/n it was like I summoned a call from Andrew going to hit the answer button, Camilaâs small hand took my phone out of my hands ended the call and put it into her purse.Â
âMila my phoneâ I looked down at her softly so her family wouldn't noticeÂ
âWeâre having dinner Shawn you donât need itâ she pecked my cheek and turned to talk to her cousin next to herÂ
I stared at Milaâs bag watching it light up counting 7 different times where it did, my knee bouncing with nerves. Grabbing Milaâs hand I excused us to the hallwayÂ
âCamila my phone nowâ I held my hand out waiting for itÂ
âShawn no, weâre having dinner you promised you would do this for me, for us I already told you that girl is fine sheâs probably doing it for attention now lets go back sit down and have a nice meal you can have your phone back laterâ she pecked my lips and held my hand pulling me out of the hall before I could get a word in.Â
Before we could walk all the way back to the table I saw Andrew standing next to the table and looked at Camila who rolled her eyes in annoyance
âAndrew what-â
ây/n is in the hospital Connors with her right now but she might need her stuff to go home after, you have the extra hotel key I need it,â he said nonchalantly staring me down and I felt myself visibly shrink he was mad at me
âOh I have the extra keyâ Camila chirped and dug through her purse handing it to Andrew
âIs y/n okay what happened, where is she lets go?â I said grabbing my jacket and waiting for Andrew who put a hand on my chestÂ
âStay and finish your meal with Camila and her family, I'm going back to the hotel to get y/n passport so when she wakes up we can get her homeâÂ
âWhat,â I say louder âWhat do you mean when she wakes up what happened Andrew lets goâ I go to pull on his arm when I feel Camila tug on mineÂ
âShawn you canât drop everything for her, she's not your responsibility she walked out on you why do you careâ she huffed annoyed with jealousy dripping from her toneÂ
I lean down to kiss her forehead âIll see you at the hotel later okayâ I smile at her and she crosses her arms over her chest
âShawn if you leave that's it. You've embarrassed me enough tonightâ she spoke through her teethÂ
âMila donât do this right now I have to goâ I see hurt flash across her faceÂ
âThen leave! go after her like you always did, like you always doâ she huffs and throws my phone at my chest and turns around back to her family.Â
I give them a small smile and her mom gives me a sympathetic smile and I turn to find Andrew but heâs nowhere to be found. Fuck.Â
I walk out of the restaurant and check my phone all missed calls from Connor and Andrew and I hit Connors number and start sprinting back to the hotel hoping to catch Andrew.
----Â
y/n p.o.v.Â
I wake up to bright lights and a weight on my side I look down to see a mop of brown curls resting on me and on the other tufts of blonde hair.Â
Iâm about to wake Connor to find out what happened when Brian and Andrew walk through the doorÂ
âOh good morning sleeping beauty, how are you feeling,â Brian asks whispering to not wake Shawn and ConnorÂ
âEverything hurts, what happenedâ I nod to Shawn and raise my eyebrows his body was hunched over in his chair, his cheek was laying on my side and his eyes puffy with his mouth slightly open breathing softly.Â
âLetâs get the boys out of here and we can talk yah?â Andrew suggests and you nod at him closing your eyes again and feeling a pain in your arm. Letting out a yelp you start to feel dizzy all over again and see you woke up Shawn and Connor looking frantic while a nurse came in to check on you before your vision went black.Â
Waking up a second time to bright lights making you squint going to move your hand to shield your face you felt a weight in it. Looking over you saw Shawn a 6â2 giant curled into a ball attempting to fit in a chair next to your bed with his hand in yours. You try to detangle your fingers from his but even in his sleep heâs not having it and you feel too weak to fight it. He mustâve felt your struggle because his eyes opened wide not even 5 seconds later.
As soon as you made eye contact with him he a fresh set of tears started streaming down his pink blotchy cheeks and streams of mumbled apologies fell from his lips.Â
âHey, hey rockstar it's fine Iâm okay, look I'm hereâÂ
His tears didn't stop flowing but he rubbed his nose on his sleeve taking a shaky breathe âI could've lost you and its all my fault I'm so sorry I shouldnât have let you leave, I shouldnât have yelled at you âmsorry for being so shitty everything that happened was my fault and I understand if you donât want to talk to me for a whileâ he broke eye contact and looked down on your bed
âWhat happened,â you ask softlyÂ
âAfter you left the hotel I donât know how long you were gone but apparently you went far enough and cried enough to where it was enough to dehydrate you, the weather and traveling also impacted your body, your body went into stress paralysis causing you to blackout and have an internal seizureâ he sighed as more tears streamed down his face âI could have lost you, luckily a fan saw you and called an ambulance and they brought you here and made sure the hospital called Andrew luckily he was on your emergency contactâ he shows a small smile remembering how when you first went on tour with Shawn you broke your arm and neither of you had your phones so you guys just waited in the hospital. After that Karen made sure you added Andrew onto your emergency contact in case something like that happened again he would be notified instead of thinking he lost two teenagers in a random state. âIf I was with you, or even paid attention to you like I promised we wouldn't be here you wouldn't have to be dealing with this if I didnât ask you to come out here because I'm selfish, I'm so sorry I'm an idiot who doesn't deserve you at allâ he choked out
You hummed, stress paralysis was something you dealt with when your parents went through a divorce and things got really bad. Putting on so much stress and not being able to talk about it your body retaliated and went into fits of paralysis to literally exert the stress out of your body. You didnât realize how hard yours and Shawns fight effected you.Â
âPlease say somethingâ Shawn looked up at you with red eyes and blotchy cheeks, holding your hand in both of his he waited patientlyÂ
âYouâre going to have to do worse than put me in a hospital to get rid of me rockstarâ you spoke softly to him as you felt his arms wrap around your torso and his head in your neck âIâm still upset but you can make it up to meâ

Mission âImpossibleâ (Rocky)
FLUFF
*****
I sigh sadly as I look at my grade score. I have a D in History⊠Mom is going to kill me! After the bell rings, I go up to my teacher to ask how I could raise it before report cards are sent home.
âWell, nothing can raise it higher than a C during this semester.â He starts to explain. âBecause you were late on the time era assignment, you lost a lot of points. Even extra credit canât get you high enough for a good grade.â
I bow and thank him then leave the classroom. Iâm doomed this semester. This teacher is a putz, he didnât tell anyone in the class about this assignment and wonât admit he forgot! I know I can bring my grade up easy, but I need to bring it up before this semester ends, mom is cruel with us if we donât have Aâs. Who knows what she will doâŠ
I head to lunch in the library, where me and my close friends meet. I was the last to arrive, but I notice a new face.
âHey, we have someone we want you to meet!â Jin Jin exclaims and ushers me over.
I sit across from the new kid and nod. I introduce myself and wait for him to do so as well.
âIâm Rocky.â He introduces shyly.
âWelcome to our inner circle.â I smile mischievously.
âRocky is a really good dancer.â Moonbin shows off his new friend. âAnd heâs really good with computers.â
âReally?â I look at Rocky. âMoonbin loves dancing, he does it all the time.â I laugh as Moonbin does an arm wave.
âYea, weâve danced a little.â Rocky says nervously.
âYo, did you hear about Mr. Chungâs history class?â MJ asks. âApparently, most of them are either flunking or almost flunking.â
I glare at the boy, thats my history class.
âUhh⊠MJâŠâ Sanha addresses the older one. MJ looks at the youngest and sees Sanha pointing at me.
MJ instantly shrinks back and clears his throat.
âI swear, itâs not the classâs fault.â I defend myself and my classmates. âThat forgetful teacher forgot to tell us about the assignment and told us the day before it was due. How were the majority of us supposed to get it done?â
âWhat about your mom?â Eunwoo asks worriedly.
I sigh. âHopefully sheâs understanding. I just needed it to be an A on my report card, even if it was just for the report card.â
âWellâŠâ Rocky speaks up. âI may be able to help.â
We all look at him curiously.
âIâm really good with computer and that includes hacking.â He explains. âSo, I can change your grade so when your mom receives the report card, it says A. Then I can change it back once itâs delivered.â
âCan you really?â Moonbin asks with amazement. âBro, that is so cool!â
I roll my eyes at Moonbin's fanboying.
"Would you do that?" I ask the boy hopefully. "For me?" I ask with confusion.
"Yea, I like you guys and besides, I'll change it back so there won't be any harm done, no one will notice." Rocky smiles at me.
"That's really sweet of you, Rocky." I smile at the boy, making him blush in embarrassment due to the attention.
"Look he's blushing." Sanha teases.
"They'd be a cute couple, actually." Eunwoo comments.
"Oi, don't you have a sandwich to eat?" I ask the manga boy, drawing the attention away from Rocky and I.
I look at Rocky and mouth a thank you to him, he nods with a bright smile.
We all sat in the library while we ate our lunches. We talked about unfair teachers and boring classes and the occasional subject of dancing or singing would come up, making the lunch brighten. We all left at the same time, leaving before the first bell rang. We all went our separate ways going to our next classes. Eunwoo and I walk together since we had the same class that period.
We would see each other in the halls and do our stupid handshakes, making the popular kids scoff and roll their eyes at us. Rocky fit in really well, which made the popular people mad, since they wanted him for their new entertainment. During one handshake, MJ passes me his hall monitor keys, winking at me as he finishes the hand shake and moves on. I smile at the singer and shake my head.
Eventually, the last bell rings. I sigh in relief as I make my way to my locker. I put away my things and start to head out of the school. I feel a tap on my shoulder and see Moonbin next to me.
"Operation Grade is in effect, meet The Rock in the computer lab." He whispers to me.
"Could you be any more obvious than that?" I ask the boy with a giggle. "Operation Grade? The Rock? You're not even trying."
Moonbin glares at me. "We are helping you out here.â He reminds me.
I giggle and nod before splitting off from him and heading to the computer lab. I enter the dark room, whispering Rocky's name, asking him if he was in here. Suddenly, I am pulled against a body and a hand covers my mouth.
"Yea, I'm here." Rocky whispers in my ear.
He releases me as I glare at him.
"That was a little unnecessary."
"Moonbin told me to do it." Rocky tells me with panic in his voice.
"Rocky, if your paranoid you don't have to do it." I tell him.
"Why aren't you freaked out?" He asks in a shout-whisper.
"There's no security in this poor school, no one will catch us." I assure him. "Everyone leaves in an hour, teachers included, we just wait till then, and then we use MJ's keys to get into the main office."
"Right, okay." He nods. "What do we do until then?"
"I'm gonna do some homework." I tell him. "Since that's what I would do normally if I wasn't here." I smile at him.
I turn my phone light on and place my phone face down so the light would shine upwards. I could feel Rocky tense next to me.
"No one will see, I promise." I giggle at him.
He nods and slowly begins to pull his homework out and works on it.
We work in silence, until, my watch beeps, it's the top of the hour.
"It's been an hour and a half." I tell Rocky, slowly packing up my stuff. "Everyone should be gone."
Rocky follows my lead and packs up. Then we head out of the computer lab and quietly make our way to the main office. I watch closely, making sure we were the only ones in the school.
We approach the office and have yet to find anyone else. I pull out the keys and use them to unlock the door. I turn on the lights as I enter and Rocky closes the door behind us.
"I can keep a look out." I offer him as he makes his way to the computer.
He nods and turns the light off.
"I'll use my phone light." He tells me. "Makes it less suspicious."
I nod and stand near the door, watching out the tiny window for anyone to pass by it. I hear Rocky typing quickly and the occasional click of a mouse. Both of our breathing was slightly heavy, probably from the adrenaline.
We work in silence for about fifteen minutes before Rocky speaks.
"I did it." He breathes.
"Wait really?" I snap my head in his direction, seeing his face through the dim light from his phone light.
"Yeah." He tells me. He walks closer to me, turning off his light. "We can celebrate outside." He whispers.
We both leave the room and I lock the door on our way out. We maneuver our way through the halls, finally making it to the exit. We both exit the building and wince from the bright sunlight. We stay silent for a few seconds before I jump in excitement.
"Rocky you did it!" I exclaim, hugging the boy around his neck. "You actually did it! I felt like I was in a spy movie!" I tell him as I release him from the hug and start to walk to my house.
Rocky tries to stutter out words, but can't hardly speak or even hear for the matter. His face was a bright red as he follows me down the sidewalk.
"And we will get to do it again next week!" I look at Rocky. "Hey, is everything okay?" I ask with worry in my voice.
He clears his throat and looks forward. "Yea, yea I'm fine, just coming off the adrenaline rush." He chuckles nervously.
"Thank you so much Rocky." I tell him sincerely. "It means a lot to me."
"Yea, anytime..." Rocky smiles at me.
The next day, at lunch, the other boys asked about our mission.
"You guys didn't even see anyone?" Moonbin asks with shock.
I shake my head.
"There was no one." I tell him again.
"Did the hero get the girl?" Eunwoo teases.
I roll my eyes and take a bite of my sandwich.
âHe should at least get a kiss.â Jin Jin smirks. âAs a payment.â
I look at Rocky, to see his face with a red coloring.
âIf thatâs what he wants for payment.â I shrug, while the others wolf whistle and snicker.
âUhhhâŠâ Rocky stutters about. âI donât need a paymentâŠâ
âMan, you had the opportunity!â Moonbin sighs out.
I smile at Rocky.
We all finish our lunch with pleasant conversation, talking about Rocky and Moonbinâs dance they were working on and Jin Jinâs new rap he was writing. We all leave a few minutes before the first bell, so we could get a head start on the crowds. Rocky and I were the last to leave. I grab his wrist to keep from leaving the room. I wait till the other five leave.
âThank you again.â I smile at him. âYouâre really sweet to help someone you just met.â I kiss his cheek before stepping away. I turn back to see him blush. âIâll see you in the halls.â I leave the room with a big smile on my face. I see the other boys as I open the door.
âI knew it!â Eunwoo exclaims.
I sigh. We will never hear the end of thisâŠ

Three Days ~ 38
Catch up on AO3
Happy Birthday Bonus Day.
Ok, I'm also babysitting my niece until Monday and won't be online.
~*~Sebastian~*~
The phone call from my manager, Emily, was about the shoot for the watch ad. At the end, she tacked on there had been a random tweet saying, "I think I just saw The Winter Soldier kidnap and carry off a woman." I guess someone did see. Naturally, it turned into a thing with fans asking for pictures "or it didn't" happen and location. Poor guy was just posting something random to his friends and got overrun. His next tweet was "Fuck, y'all are crazy. I'm being stupid, drunk by the water, and you lose your damn minds." He has no idea. His comment about water has everyone thinking I'm at the beach. I wish. Although, I am at a sand volleyball tournament.
I went back outside and Emma wasn't at the table. I could see her out on the court. I got closer and was treated with tiny orange shorts. Those were exactly what flashed into my head when she said she played volleyball. Except I pictured the shorts black. I wasn't going to bitch about the orange. I was already making plans around peeling them off. The best I could do right now was a kiss through some black netting.
After meeting the team, I went back to the table and introduced myself. Scott stared for a bit, but after a few minutes of conversation with Samantha he joined in. This was the way it usually happened. There was a period of weird silence before my behavior convinced them I'm no different from anyone else. Once I can get them from seeing a twenty-foot version of me on a movie screen to seeing the guy in front of them things are pretty normal.
As much as I was enjoying the conversation when the game started I went up to the railing. Emmaâs team started on the side that wasn't fronted by the deck. I wanted to see. I'd done my research, so I knew after the first set they'd switch sides. I'd sit down then. Maybe. I was rewarded with a smile when they took their places and she saw me.
Things didn't start well. The other teamed scored three quick points. We'd close in, then they'd pull ahead again. I learned from Samantha that Emma was the setter. She was in charge of the offensive and Pete directed defense. Her obsessive planning would probably come in handy here. When we were behind ten to twelve Pete called a time out. They ran over to the bench under where I was standing. Emma told them what she saw the other team doing and gave each of them direction. Pete added in a little, but it was mostly her. She was confident, direct, and at the end brought them together for a quick cheer and told them, "We got this." Â All through this, she paid zero attention to me. She was laser-focused like I wasn't even there.
Which made me hard.
From then on there was no more being behind. It was like the first part of the match was them figuring the other side out and now they were playing for real. Emma's yelling out names. Pete's telling people to move. And then there's the physicality of it. She was quick. She would dive to keep the ball from hitting the ground, barely dump it over the net, and set the ball up for one of the guys. The last one looked like she was barely touching the ball, but I knew the strength in those fingers. I'm sure the others were doing all sorts of shit too, but I was only paying attention to her. What she wasn't very good at was serving. She didn't suck. It just wasn't her strong suit.
I kept quiet throughout the set until the final score. I did a fist pump and yelled, "Yes!"
Final score twenty-five to twenty.
They headed to the bench, all smiling but not too big, and started gathering their stuff. Emma gathered her clothes over her arm before looking at me. It wasn't over yet so I gave her a thumbs up and mouthed, "Good job."
Emma stepped up on the bench like she had before the game and reached her fingers through the netting. Reaching for me. I linked my fingers with hers and met her for another kiss in a little square. She smiled and whispered, "For luck."
Nick came close and looked up," You have to do that before every set now. Superstition rules sports."
I looked around Emma to see him, "Not a hardship."
I went back to the table for the second set. Samantha, who told me to call her Sam, provided a steady commentary and answered any questions I had. I should have started back here. I had a much better understanding of roles, strategy, and gameplay by the time they won the second set and therefore the game.
Scott pointed between me and Sam, "One of you bar bitches needs to go get beer."
I jumped off the chair, I'll get it."
I looked at Sam, "What do I get?
"Bucket of Corona and one of Modelo."
"Thank you. Be right back."
The team was already at the table when I got there.
Pete looked at me as I put the buckets down. "You're going to need to be faster if you want to keep your bar bitch job."
It was good that they were giving me shit. Normal. I grabbed two of the Modelos. "I set up a tab. It'll be quicker next time."
He looked aghast, "You left your credit card?"
"I think they trust me." I opened the bottles and walked to where Emma sat, kissing her before handing off the beer. "That was great. You were great. " I quickly looked at the others, "I'm sure you all were too, but I was only paying attention to her. I'II watch everyone next game."
Jeff smiled around his beer bottle, "No, you won't."
"I'll make an effort." No one was believing me. I couldn't blame them. I ran my hand over Emmaâs shoulders, "How long till the next game?"
"The team weâll play, their game isnât over yet." She pointed to court two. "We'll get twenty or so minutes once they're done. Wanna go watch the end?"
"Sure."
Emma took my hand and we went to the railing. "Which team do you want to win?"
She looked at both teams. "I don't know them. They're from a different league." She watched both for a minute, "Shit."
I turned toward her, leaning my arm on the counters, "What's up?"
"I went out with one of the guys on the green team." She'd moved to put her back to them.
"Hmm." I raised an eyebrow while I took a drink. Kinda thankful it's one of hers and not one of mine. "How long?"
"Just a couple of times. I didn't sleep with him." She shuddered, "He said some mildly creepy things and I ditched."
I was surprised by how relieved I felt when she said they hadnât slept together. "Thank you for telling me."
"I wouldn't let you walk into a situation where you're the only one who doesnât know." She ran a hand over my forearm.
Aw, she was worried. Cute. I took her hand off my arm and kissed it, "You know I make out and pretend to have sex in movies, right?"
She cracked a smile, "I hear you kiss boys too."
I can guess where she heard that from. "I have. Only for work though."
Her laughter made me smile, "I don't care if it was not for work."
I closed my eyes and shook my head, "This conversation." I opened my eyes, "I don't care if you dated some guy out there. Unless it's the blonde with long hair." Emma curled in her lips. "Oh come on!"
She shrugged and went for a change of subject. "I also heard you were Pete and Scott's Hall Pass."
"I knew that."
Her look was a cross between surprised and horrified. "I can't believe Scott told you."
"I don't think he meant to."
There was a commotion on the court. The blondes team won.
Time to go! "Ready to go back to the table?"
"Yes, please."
I put my arm around her shoulder as we walked. "Can we talk about your ass in those shorts?"
"Do you like? I bought them with you in mind."
"I do like them." We were back at the table with everyone else. I leaned closer, "I'd like to peel them off you. With my teeth."
Seed one and five were playing on court one. We'd be on court two against the blondeâs team, a two seed. I was nervous. Emma was bouncing like she had at home. I took both her hands, holding them in front of me, "Jump around. I got you."
She jumped up and down a few times, "What's this supposed to do?"
I looked sheepish, "No idea. Distraction. "
She laughed, "Worth a try. Thanks for being supportive of my crazy."
I asked again, âAnything I can get for you?"
Emma nodded emphatically, "Yes. At the switch between sets, I've got thirty seconds. Could you bring me a diet coke and a Reese Cup? Frozen.â
I repeated her order and nodded once. She must feel like she'll need a mid-game boost.
Sam's bar bitch duty was to fill up the water bottles. Emma made a bathroom run and I folded her closes and put them in the bottom of the bag. I dug out her cooling scarf. It was one oâclock in June right out in the sun. I dunked her scarf in the ice water for the beer, rung it out, and hung it over my shoulder. I had the sunscreen out when she got back.
When she saw what I held she smiled, "Thanks, I forgot. Will you get my back?"
"Discount massage all for you."
Everything is not foreplay. Repeat. Everything is not foreplay.
Emma took off her tank top for me to access everywhere. I was very thorough. Â I didnât want her to burn. A bad sunburn can be brutal. After I finished with her, she insisted on covering me. I didnât have the same degree of exposed skin, but she tried. Sun protection aside, it was more about the touching.
Everything is foreplay.
They were called to the courts and Emma came for her good luck kiss. There was no netting so there was a bit of tongue involved. That would see me through the next set or so.
This game had me sitting on the edge of my seat and pacing closer to the railing. Sam stayed with me with Scott seemed barely interested. Points went on forever and they traded off the lead every serve. They did the same thing with taking a time out when they reached ten points, but the results werenât quite as dramatic. They pulled ahead a few points and were keeping the lead. When they reached twenty points, I walked backward to the bar to get Emmaâs Diet Coke and a frozen Reese Cup. I jogged back to the railing just in time to see my girl reject a spike from the blonde, Becky set the ball, and Nick send it back to win the set.
I was back by Sam, âFuck, that was dramatic.â She looked at me like she knew something I didnât. I laughed, âI know they went out.â
Her face read relieved, âOh good, I suck at secrets.â
Emma came off the court and directed me down to the end where there was an opening in the netting. I had the Reese Cup open and the paper peeled off before I got to her. She shoved the whole thing in her mouth and mumbled a thank you.
âThat was a great play.â She nodded and took a very long drink of Diet Coke.
Emma pressed her lips to mine. âGive me the Reese and you keep the Diet Coke.â
âGot it.â I dumped the candy out and handed it to her.
Second set they went up by five early, skipped the time out, and won twenty-five to eighteen. Fuck, yeah!Â
I went after beer and stopped by the board. This had them in the semi-finals with the one seed. They were already finished so the countdown was on. Emma came up behind me, laying her hand on my back, âWeâre moving tables.â
âCourt one, baby!â I kissed her cheek, âSemi-finals. I checked the board. This is cool. Iâm taking pictures this game.â
It was more crowded on this side of the deck and I was thankful for her planning now. Nick and Jeff were moving the table up closer to the railing and it looked like Pete and Scott had stolen some more chairs. We were set up along the railing on either side of the net. Looked like a little horseshoe blockade. There were some extra people there too. Emma had said more people would show up for later games closer to dinner. Â She introduced me to the new people, Nick taking care of the few she didnât know. Emma passed on the beer, preferring to hydrate. Smart. I went for beer. I figured them playing the one seed was either going to be incredibly nerve-wracking or quickly depressing. I wasnât sure which I dreading more. Either way, beer was the answer. Until shots were.
They called the teams to the court and Emma took a deep breath and jumped around a little. I was glad to see that. I was concerned because she hadnât been as bouncy. âReady to go, Tigger?â
She snorted a laugh, âIf we win Iâm going to need food. If we lose . . . Iâm still gonna need food.â
All five of her teammates chimed in, âMe too.â
âYou guys got this. Youâve been kicking ass. Just do what you do.â My attempt at a pep talk was appreciated by thanks and head nods.
Nick looked over and pointed, âDonât forget the good luck kiss, man. Donât break the streak.â
âI like him.â I gave her a quick kiss and sent her on her way.
The time between this game turned into more than thirty. The loserâs bracket was running behind and they wanted to even things out a little. If we won this team would go into the loserâs bracket and play someone so there would be more than an hour between the end of this and the next game. The team stayed on the court and I listened to friends around me catching up.
Jacob, one of the newcomers, spoke up, âSo Sebastian, on set, which of the Marvel guys was the biggest asshole?â
I had ready-made answers for this, but Sam put her hand on my arm and addressed him, âYeah, we donât do that. This isnât a comic con.â She motioned to me with her hand, âThis is our friend Seb, here for a volleyball game. If you have questions buy a ticket.â
Jacob held up his hands, âFair enough.â
I shrugged, but inside I was cringing a little. Sometimes answering questions or taking pictures is the safer bet. I can control things a little better and ask people not to post anything for a little while. If you piss people off they do what they want without your permission.
I pointed my thumb at her, âInterviewing for my bodyguard.â Hopefully, that would break any tension.
Jacob laughed, âShe doesnât put up with anyoneâs shit.â
The game started and I turned my back on everyone. Sam was beside me. âRenner.â
She looked at me confused, âWhat?â
âRennerâs the biggest asshole.â
We lost the first set. Badly. When Emma came over to switch sides she didnât say a word. She popped up on the bench, gave me a kiss, and was off. They started down by three in the second set. I leaned my elbows on the counter and looked back at Sam, âHowâs she handle losing?â
Sam shook her head, âHavenât lost yet. Youâre a nervous little thing.â
âItâs new.â
âSweet.â She looked out at the game then back to me. âSheâs very competitive. Losing pisses her off, but sheâs over it quick. Tequila helps.â She nodded toward the court, âBut we havenât lost yet.â
And we didnât. One set all.
I wanted to vomit. I was tensing up with every play. Every time they scored, I was doing something. Yelling, âyesâ. Making faces. Fist pumps. Banging on the counter. Anything to release the tension. There wasnât anything dramatic, just solid play. Slowly we increased the lead. A point here, a point there. And they didnât match it, didnât catch up.
Twenty-five to nineteen. Sam and I both yelled, âFuck, yeah!â at the same time.

08:00 - Morgan Library, New York City
âWake up, Buckaroo. We have another library to occupy.â you shake him awake.
âGod, this feels like the 40s,â he grumbled rubbing his eyes.
You cleared your throat, âGood morning, Sergeant Barnes,â you climbed on top of him, âBreakfast ends in 20 minutes.â
His hair was ruined three seconds later with a giggle before he grabbed you in the middle of your escape.
âWay better,â he grumbled into your hair.
âYou like it when women are soft and you can protect them. I read you like a book, Barnes.â you grinned.
âI have a metal arm thatâs shielding from bullets. Of course, I like to be protective, Agent.â he chuckled letting you go and made a run for the food.
âDavis? Bucky?â
The two men looked up to you from their food before you sat down on their table.
âThereâs a lower building across from the library that you could take a sniper rifle to. Sounds like a job for you both. Iâll go front and some of the civilians come from Bryant Park.â
âYouâre right. She really is a badass.â Captain Davis mumbled over at Bucky.
âSheâs getting the shit done.â He shrugged looking over at you with a smirk.
âI guess thatâs an affirmative.â You smiled at both of them before starting to eat your soup.
âIt is, General Andromeda.â You got a wink back.
âIf I get the paygrade of a General by the end of this I could get used to being called by that title.â You grinned wide.
Two hours later, after you helped the settlement to change their interior around in a more strategic way in case of an attack, you finally wandered towards the Public Library in a group of about 20 people with rifles and vests.
âGroups of three on each side entrance. Two with me. Barnes on that building. Davis on that one. Understood?â you looked up at the circle around you.
âUnderstood.â Came back in a choir.
âShowtime, guys.â You grinned, picking out the two people to come in through the front with you. A guy with military experience and a girl that grew up in a forest, being perfect with knives.
âEveryone on position?â You asked over the communication devices.
âOne. On position.â âTwo. On position.â âThree. On position.â
You let EADA scan the entrance area. Quite a few guards.
âWait till we go for it. They might want to escape. If there is nobody after I gave the signal you can storm in.â you told them.
You looked left and right to your partners for the mission and each of them nodded.
âGoing in.â
You jumped over the car you were hiding behind and throwing a bomb with that momentum to land right in the entrance area.
âTwo gone,â you whispered before getting out your two pistols while the bomb exploded.
The second it went up in flames you ran to the next best cover and landed a few good head and torso shots from there.
âWait on my signa-â You were choked from behind.
âWhatcha gonna do now, sweetie?â A dark voice chuckled.
You yanked your head to the side and felt blood on your cheek shortly after together with a thud behind you. Bucky.
âThanks, partner.â You grinned.
âItâs what Iâm here for. Always watching your six.â He smiled through his scope.
âThat sounds like a pick-up line about my ass.â You giggled.
âThatâs a talk for after the apocalypse, darling.â
You got rid of 4 more guards. Your two partners of 3. Bucky and Davis of 5.
âStorm in.â you called out kicking in the door that was mildly damaged from the bomb.
Head, torso, head, torso, shin, head. You aimed up at staircases and made your way through the rest of the building.
âYou good? How many?â you asked the others.
âEveryone dead. 3.â âSame here. 4.â âTwo here.â
âSkim through the entire building and make sure nobody is hiding,â you mumbled into the ear piece, suddenly hearing footsteps.
In a matter of seconds you got out of your cover and shot the person sneaking up on you in the shoulder, after making sure it wasnât someone friendly you landed another shot into the head.
âScum,â you grumbled, kicking him before ripping the dog tag off of him.
You put your wrist to your mouth, âEda, scan for important things. Electronics, important books to keep in an extra space, anything.â
âThere is a computer still up and running in the front row.â Came back shortly after.
âGood.â
After hacking your way through the computer without much information recovered you finally stepped out of the building again, seeing a guard still securing the front.
âWanted to keep that one for you.â You heard Bucky in your ear piece and smiled before sneaking up on the man and sticking a knife into his throat.
There was a lip bite and a suppressed groan behind the sniper scope. He shouldnât be turned on by this. He really shouldnât.
âEverything is cleared.â EADA informed you.
âYou can move in, Captain.â
âYouâre really something else, Agent Andromeda.â
âI know.â You winked up to where he was positioned.
-
âGod, I love that my favorite sauce comes in glasses. Apocalypse proof food.â You smiled over the pot of pasta that was cooking.
You had made Steveâs floor of the building into your little area after the mission went well and you had reported to the others about the day.
âSomething that isnât soup and veggies is the thing Iâm personally more excited about, but sure.â He chuckled while nudging you.
âI really donât know how I keep doing all of this without getting stressed out by it, you know?â You smiled up at him while pouring the sauce into a pot.
âYeah. Guess you have a good motivation behind it.â His hand was on the small of your back.
âWell, itâs pretty simple. I thrive on killing bad people.â You shrugged.
âThat is a little dark, but valid.â He scrunched his nose.
There were tiny lights throughout the city, but the sky was beautiful again. Not a single cloud.
You had snatched yourself blankets and sat down on the deck overlooking the city.
âI wish New York had days every year where all the lights would just stay off. I remember when the skyline had like 4 or 5 skyscrapers and you could still see the stars well in Queens.â
âYou took girls on dates there, huh?â You grinned over.
âYeah.â He smiled up.
âDefinitely better than going to the movies,â you commented before shoving the next fork of pasta into your mouth.
âI just like the wonder in other peopleâs eyes when they stare up that the sky.â He said a little dreamy and you looked over at him with the softest expression imaginable.
âSo, Rockefeller Center and Times Square tomorrow?â You asked after finishing your dinner.
âTwo control points in a day?â He asked back surprised.
âThose are both open spaces tho. Come on, Bucky. We are Avengers and we know the faster we get that done, the better the snowball effect will continue.â You grabbed his shoulder.
âGuess youâre right, Ann.â He gave you a lopsided smile.
âCâmon. Letâs have a good night of sleep here and kill some of those bastards tomorrow to get your hometown back on track.â You gave a cheeky grin.
âDonât have to tell me twice, darling.â He said standing up and looking down at you for a second.
The next day was filled with two missions and a few more civilians fighting with you on the missions. Youâd finally given them hope to get their town back. The Times Square area was full of food resources and antiseptic equipment. To your surprise the reinforcements for that base were not very intense and you had the base in two hours.
âBuild a few walls around it, have people in the houses looking down before eventually building outlook platforms.â You told the ones staying behind to hold the post.
âThe rest? Weâre going shopping...kinda.â You chuckled.
The Rockefeller Center was a little bit harder, but still a 3 hour takeover with Bucky and Captain Davis on your side.
âThis is going to be a little bit harder to reinforce, but Iâm sure you can find a few ways and a minigun to put there.â You pointed at a good spot and got salutes back.
âDamn, I need a break now. And you need a bandaid for that cut.â You pointed up at Bucky.
âThatâs gone by the time you found one,â he said grabbing you closer on the walk out of the area.
âCan I have some of that supersoldier healing?â You chuckled putting your arm around his back.
âIf I could give that to others, I would.â He laughed.
âLetâs go home and watch something from Tonyâs Blu-Ray collection.â You looked up.
âHow about...Star Wars?â He suggested.
âUgh, fine.â You rolled your eyes playfully and got a pinch into your side through the vest.
You started really appreciating the perks of this tower having power in the middle of all of this happening. You had the luxury to not only help friendly people with supplies, but you were able to live normally outside of your intense day job.
âRogue One is just the best.â Bucky mumbled with Chips in his mouth.
âItâs badass.â You gave him a fond smile and he stopped in his tracks, eyes innocently going up.
âYou can have the rest, dork.â You laughed, boxing his arm.
âIf Steve would see this heâd give us the biggest monologue in history.â He grinned.
âYouâre eating on the couch and watching Star Wars in the middle of the apocalypse!â You said imitating his frowning face.
âImagine that in small and how hard it was to not roll my eyes every minute of every day.â He shook his head.
âSmall Steve would be a really great activist nowadays, I assume,â you said tucking the blanket around you tighter.
âYeah, probably. Turned into an idiot with a frisbee instead. Canât blame him, heâs still a good friend.â He shrugged.
âVibranium arms are definitely better than vibranium frisbees.â You chuckled.
âYa think?â He held his arm out slightly before giving you a fake mad glare and a fist formed towards you.
âYou act all tough most of the time but I know that itâs just a front. Youâre a softie.â You giggled taking his hand and felt the hand turn around and grab your hand.
âGuess I like to scare people with my image.â he grinned.
âWell, youâre not that anymore. Youâre soft Bucky, killing the bad guys.â You smiled at him.
âYeah.â He stared back at you with shimmering eyes for a while.
âAnother movie?â You mumbled and got a nod back.

The last chapter in SF
Jan 25th, 2020.
An Introduction.
In 2017, Jess was introduced to our quiet, oversized, and mainstream lives... Little did we know, that everything was about to change. The winds swirled overhead as she landed and within a couple weeks our loud, mini, hippie-witch-grandma-babe became ingrained in our lives!Â
Coming in hot with a list of must-see, -try, -listen, -taste, -climb items for SF, Jess managed to keep us busy trying new things and living our best fun-sized life.
In honor of one chapter coming to a close (and another very exciting one just beginning!!), we want to take a look back at some of the beautiful moments youâve helped us create! Thank you for being a part of our lives in San Francisco, and we are so excited and proud of you for making big moves across the seas in New Zealand! Donât forget us and please come back to re-visit your San Francisco community soon đ»
Love,
Everyone

2017
Letâs take a walk down memory lane back to 2017...
Enter 2017⊠when some of us all met Jess Tilles for first time. Something we may be too old to do but in our early 20s we were able to stick through 9 hours of drinking. Santa Con was the day into the night we were all obliterated⊠but Santas and mistletoe and FUN! We all look very youthful, oh what a few years in SF has done to our age. It was also one of the first and last times we all decided to go out in the Marina, and then proceed to eat Italian Homemade food. The beginning of an era!
Meanwhile at work... Jess quickly becomes a driving force of work parties with Holmes (and Eva and Jess discover they are both proponents of Bell sleeves). Of course Jess=where the party @ after having met most of the team at a highly questionable night tearing up the Castro prior Olgaâs birthday.
Celebrating big moves to the bay, Jess, Shiri, and Leeza united in the gorgeous SF winter on Hattie St Balcony (a localâs hidden gem). It was then that Leeza and Jess instantly realized they were meant to meet and pursue all the best indie-folk-hippie music together. The rest of the concert saga is history!
2018
March 2018Â
Jess and Leron feeling lucky on St. Pattyâs day by wearing all black and going against the mainstream in classic Jess fashion.
April 2018
Jess and Eva jamtfo to Penguin Prison at at their favorite SF venue, The Independent on Evaâs bday. They groove from the front row where Jess has zero obstacles blocking her line of site. Eva gets to hold the gee-tar.
Parisa's first day in SF! A messy deep dish experience could only be ended with a super fun barcade.
August 2018
For many of us, it was our very first overnight backpacking trip that hot summer weekend in July. Leeza had on the heaviest pack and powered ahead of the group (per usual), while the rest of us fumbled behind. We all kept enthusiasm high and it was a glorious moment when we 1) dipped into the freezing cold water at the end of day one and 2) when we finally took our packs, shoes and socks off at the end of the hike, and we all agreed that we would not do that trail again if someone paid us a million fat ones. Such a memorable trip- it was a great shared bonding experience for us to be out exploring in nature, and struggling together but ultimately powering through. Caroline was peeing every 20 minutes of the hike as usual, Leron was making interesting jokes and Shiri and Jess kept our spirits high!
Jess has her first grown woman trip to LA with Eva. They stay in Sunset Junction (Micheltorena stairs pictured) and have a romantic werk wife stay at the legendary Casa Crawford Airbnb, where their room doesnât lock and they share a bathroom with the elderly spooky owner. Highlights include swan boating on Echo Park Lake, yoga at Equinox, eating at Mh Zh and Sqirl, unwinding at Wi Spa, crashing a mansion party in the Hollywood hills, and celebrating Laurenâs 30th birthday. Jess also very much enjoys catching up with a friend in Venice Beach.
In spring 2018, Jess made moves in the city to make friends and become ~sporty~ with Shiri in the Play Recess league. Striking the perfect balance between minimal coordination and slap-cup, we learned to destroy the competition in what really counts! Culminating in an ultimate scavenger hunt debacle, Spinelli led the group to victory! (Not actually sure if we completed the scavenger, but the memories we do have were definitely winners :) ).
October 2018
Halloweenies with our favorite Grandmama. Photographed left to right: Grandmama (Jess), Wednesday (Caroline), thing (Cole), Gomez (Leron), Morticia (Shiri), Lurch (Jack) and Pugsley (Jacob)
In the spooky month of October 2019, the Fulton Fam got together to throw our first rager - an extravagant Addams family party. Thanks to the creative inspiration of the group, we were able to pull off some spooky vibes, including spider webs, grey hair, ridiculous mustaches, and more.Â
Late 2018 marked the beginning of the Fulton house era- too many nights sitting around watching Fort Night, debating Zinc in double-blind tests, and hundreds more conversations that none of us can remember⊠We will never forget the eclectic energy Jess brought into the Fulton house. The large batches of pasta & pesto she cooked and the lotions & soaps she brewed up. Brew hahah. As the first alumnus of the Fulton house, Jess has since ventured out to #adult in her 2 bedroom apartment in Nob Hill.
Before Jess left us, we had one last BirthRight hoorah with Jacobâs new friends. There was a peculiar guy making brisket in our oven, and handing samples around like a Costco on a Saturday afternoon. Shiri infamously used her photoshop skills to crop the beloved Leron Gil into the house party he missed. Good times!
December 2018
How could we forget the numerous ski trips in 2019 with Jess? There were so many weekends bopping around down the slopes in Heavenly, Kirkwood and North Star. On this specific photographed trip, Jess and Caroline celebrated their birthdays with a weekend getaway to Northstar. Too much Secret Hitler was played. Things got wild. Other board games were forced upon us (lol). But looking back it was a great time hanging with friends, drinking champagne on the mountain and blasting some groovy tunes down the mountain.
Over the holidays, Chinese food is a tradition⊠a very delicious meal at Koi Palace! While living in Fulton, there was a 2 month hiatus where just Jess, Caroline and Jacob occupied the house. Some like to call that period of time âthe cleanest time of Fultonâ, others call bullshit. The three bonded over diverging political opinions, bitching about who never cleaned their dishes and doing korean face masks.Â
2019
January 2019
Ringing in the New 2019 Year in San Francisco with a large group of our friends was quite the experience! Great to celebrate together together at the boom boom room with some live music (but also not great that the window got smashed đ)
One of Jessâs many ascents at Mission Cliffs! Go Jess send it!Â
 Only Jess and her gleaming charisma could rally coworkers to see a concert AND have work pay for our HH drinks (thanks for the sus hand-written receipt for expensing, @Madrone Art Bar). We saw her beloved Magic City Hippies at The Independent which was funky and upbeat Miami vibes all around. Also pictured are Mary and Georgine who are/soon working in New Zealand as well.
February 2019
Always remember the earplugs! Jess knows how to concert.
March 2019
Soccer moms go to Warby Parker. Epic picture and times of Jess with the Fulton boys.
April 2019
A new(ish) face joined the Holmes Fire SF team- finally Jess and Ireneâs LDR was over! This was our first team building activity as a new group and with Jess in charge of course we ended up climbing!
Celebrating Evaâs Birthday with a fun rooftop HH at El Teco on a sunny spring day!
Jess, Eva and Irene order frozen pina coladas and take in the views before a Mission bar crawl of sorts, closing nice and early with burritos from El Farolito.
May 2019
Hanging out at the top of the SalesForce tower. Pro tip, bring a structural engineer for some great commentary.
Bay to Breakers with team eggs and team hippies (aka Jessâs typical aesthetic)!
Always discussing the most important topics at work- like water bottle sticker placement! #bigdecisions
July 2019
One of the best Holmes site visits ever!!
Jess and Eva drive up North for a wine country getaway they won a while back at a silent auction. En route they plow through La Croix cans, have a rad lunch in Sebastopol and dip their feet in the picturesque Russian River. Early evening, they taste and tour facilities at Moshin Vineyards in Forestville (shout outs to that delightfully dry pinot noir rosĂ©) before stargazing (ft. skunk!) and cozying up in a cabin suite with the movie Sideways. The next day, they have a beautiful morning walk by the vineyards. By way of Jessâ parents, they land in Ronald McDonaldâs home for a private tasting. Jess learns she loves fruit-forward wines!
September 2019
The second infamous backpacking trip! **GIRLS TRIP**!!!! The time we thought itâd be smart to not get camping food and cook kraft mac and cheese with no microwave. What it came out to be was a big bowl of cheese goop, with Ella, Anna, Olaf and unicorn characters drowned in there. A big SHOUTOUT to Marie for pulling through with the fancy face creams and sharing with the group, us talking about waxing *ahem* body parts and again, Leeza leading the charge with Foxy! At night, we laid out on the benches and stared up at the stars - the night was so clear! We couldnât stop laughing over things I can no longer remember⊠except about discovering the world was indeed not flat. Once again, Caroline likely peed 20 times total, and was coughing and heaving (sorry for being sick!) đ
Jess and Eva get weird in Portland! Where they sip rooftop beers, frolick in the Nike HQ ( a mass timber wonderland), meet Big Foot and Krampus, procure free passes to a saucy community event, dance to 80s music at a goth bar/visit crusty dive bars, have a prime strawberry cough (and beanie) experience @ Electric Lettuce, savor prime Bamboo sushi, and Jess gets a cute ass tragus piercing. Throughout the trip Jess wears a lot of black to Evaâs delight #moody #angsty. On their walks to the Portland office, Jess appreciates the changing fall leaves and residential neighborhoods, feeling reminded of home on the East Coast.
Just another amazing Jill Hike ;)Â
October 2019
OK - San Francisco was filled with challenges⊠and Tough Mudder was one of them! Although we found out that at the end of the race - you would be electrocuted - we persisted. We - as a team - got through to the finish line. So proud of everyone for completing the race! Although Caroline was the only one who copped out of electric shock. The number of times we dunked into mud baths and climbed 10 ft wallsâŠÂ
Jessâs favorite time of the year and a visit from Tariq! Jess and Eva decorated the whole office to look super ~spooky~ON ANOTHER LEVEL (featuring creepy clown photos, hella cobwebs and caution tape, bloody stickers, and of course fake plastic bugs) and organized a halloween bar crawl around North Beach (@ Maggie McGarrieâs and Tupelo)!
November 2019
A big fan of live music, Jess is a great Concert buddy. Always down to explore new music and venues! This was such a fun bonding night where we got greyhounds, beers, caught up on life and danced at Polo & Pan. So fun!
Proxima Parada at Milk Bar birthday concert where Jess got a shout-out from the band! ft. a blurry instagram story and classic typos. Prior, the whole squad turns up at Hobsonâs Choice over punch bowls.
HP marathon or studying for PE? Well! let's master both!
December 2019
One of the best days in December was unexpected. It started out with a simple brunch plan but ended in a full day of activities!! New spot on polk was where Jess and Mariesâ friendship began and continued to blossom!
After having an amazing meal (great eggs benedict) and hours of catching up we decided to walk back to our houses together (since we are neighbors!!). Jess was excited to see Marieâs new couch (that was 50% off hehe) and decided to come over. Kap, Jess and Marie did a long (super difficult) puzzle (connected a few pieces) and watched netflix. We order Thai food (Kap ordered us cookies) and we relaxed all day. It was a special day where the three of us reminisced about San Francisco and all of our time here. It was a day no one wanted to end!!
Holmes Holiday Party- Jessâs favorite drink was the beet cocktail đ
Cozy three course italian dinner with wine at 3pm! Best part of the afternoon was my hot date, Jess ;)
Jess and her neighborhood park (shoutout to nob hill, the real MVP) winning Shiri over with its views on views.
January 2019
On one of Jessâs final few Tahoe ski weekends, she SENT IT down a black diamond on her first weekend back of the season. Harrison found a great photo opp for Jess, Marie and Caroline against the Xtreme advanced only sign. The weekend was filled with playing Mafia, jamming to tunes down the slope, exploring Squaw valley, having some nice Apres Ski, and getting fed some good, slow-cooked food (haha!).Â
[JESS, INSERT YOUR PHOTOS FROM THE LAST WEEKEND IN SF!!!]Â
NOTES FROM YOUR BIFFLES TO SEND YOU OFF <3
Dear Jess,Â
Thank you for entering into my life and being saggitarius soulmates. I love that we are on the same page about so many things - planning, me-time, boys (kinda), beards, skiing, tardiness, traveling, being avoidant, being wholesome and SO MUCH MORE. Iâm so happy we bonded over the last couple years weâve known each other. I miss all the times I would knock on your door and catch up while you marie kondo-d your entire closet. Thank you for pushing me in new and different ways which you may not have realized (like forcing me to vote) and inspiring me to do good with the environment (hehe).Â
You are kind-hearted, loyal, so brave and bold and Iâm so proud of you for going out on this adventure to New Zealand!! I will miss you lots in San Francisco and miss the ridiculous random shit we would laugh at during out ski trips or cooking or when we could catch up at home. Thank you for always listening whenever I felt like blabbing on and helping keep me grounded. So excited to visit New Zealand and canât wait to explore! Plz donât forget all the great memz we had in SF!!
Love you lots XOXO
CarolineÂ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess!!! We have done it all together and now we can add New Zealand to that list too! Iâm so glad that we got to overlap in SF and I had you here to show me to ropes. I canât wait to follow your kiwi adventures and see all the fun things you do.Â
Love you lots!!Â
XoxoÂ
IreneÂ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JESSICA. My favorite small person to kiss on the head. I am so glad we could bond over our love of funky music and skiing. Iâll always be here to make sure you donât look like an egg on the ski slopes and canât wait to visit you and your Kiwi men soon. You are a sweet, funny, life of the party small person whoâs going to find so much success and kiwi men in NZ. Love you so much, and may the yearly backpacking live on!
-Leez
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jess,
You are such a sweet soul that is thoughtful and cares about everyone around you. Iâm so thankful I had the opportunity to meet ya (ty shiri!!) and get to know you over the last year and a half. I always have so much fun on our walks, breakfast dates, or ski trips (and so much more). Iâm so extremely happy for you to be following your dreams (and a lil sad that we wonât be neighbors anymore). I canât wait to come visit ya and enjoy more adventures together!
Love ya,
Marie!!Â
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess - I love seeing how far weâve come since our truss-ty mechanics class, traveling across the country and seeking out all the best from life! Although your soul belongs in a hippy world, I know you will find your people and place no matter where you land (just keep being YOU). New Zealand is lucky to be getting the tiniest force around. You will certainly be missed, but know that Iâm just a WhatsApp message (or a quick flight!) away :). Excited for the tiny tourist travels ahead <3
Love, Shiri
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blonde Meets Brunette. Relatively Tall Meets Considerably Short. East Coast Meets West Coast. Engineering Major Meets Fine Arts Major. Happy Music Meets Sad Music. On paper we might come across as opposites, but internally and emotionally I am so grateful for the rich grey areas and nuances weâve discovered that we contain. The odds were slim for us to cross paths in this big olâ universe,and Iâm so grateful we found each other to help tame and ground the ups and downs of being-in-your-twenties. You have been a guiding, real, and empowering force since Day 1, and youâve taught me so much. I canât wait to see all you accomplish in this new chapter and far beyond! ALL the love to the best work wife there ever was.
Eva Slusser
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yo,
Glad we have been able to go on a bunch of snowy adventures. Look forward to visiting your weird kiwi fire life sometime and I'm sorry I always assumed you were the mafia.
-Dave
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess,
It was great getting to know you even if it was only for a short amount of time. Will always remember you bombing it down that double black diamond at squaw, the hike in Berkeley, and the constant disapproving looks sent my way.
GO PRO CAPTURE
- H
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess!! Thank you for being the kindest soul your are. I enjoyed every bits and pieces of our friendship from Stas' lab to smoke control class to getting to bond more here in SF.
Can't wait to follow the tiny tourist adventures through this new kiwi chapter. Auckland is lucky to have you!
Love you and see you soon!
Parisa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This post serves as written confirmation that I have previously stated thank you and please and no longer require these societal norms to be restated. Once I see you in New Zealand, reside in your dwelling and depart back to San Francisco, I will not provide a thank you note. I expect the same from you.Â
See you soon,
Leron
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess - We will miss you, but having a friend leave SF is easier when you know theres great adventures ahead for them. Iâm excited for all your NZ adventures, and I would be lying if I said I wasnât jealous. Keep us in the loop and I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Bucky Barnes x Plus!Size Reader SKRULL
Warnings: Inferred rape, cuddly Bucky.
A/N: I promise! SMUT SOON! But not this chapter! We get some back story & some cuddly, angsty Bucky & reader.
Words: +2,500
Looking out the wall of glass, Y/N replayed the meeting with Carol from a month ago. Fury having to keep the two captains from ripping each otherâs throats out, a meeting with the captains, Fury & Y/N. The curses Carol slung at Steve in a tone she hadnât heard the space captain use since the Kree. The phone in her lap buzzing to bring her out of the memory. Bucky, he had been on her about getting out of the room other than training, missions & debriefings. Letting out a sigh, deciding to open the message.
Bucky: Twins just left, join me for a bite?
Y/N: Just ate, go on without me.
Bucky: It's sushi.
Y/N: No, I'm good, thank you.
After that Y/N tossed the phone on the couch to continue the staring contest with the tree line. It was now June, four more months of Tera left, which meant hell trying to avoid Bucky. Carol asking her to hang on till the delegates meeting in October, to help the Terans get through the pain of so many in one place. The phone buzzing, ruby orbs looking to the communicator that Carol had given her when she was there last, one that to get into contact with Stakar, actually hoping it would light up.
Remembering the moment, graduating the academy, Nova Prime making sure Y/N had a place at her side when becoming head of the corps.
âWe need someone skilled in infiltration,â the delegate from one of the moons had begun, it had been so long she had forgotten the aliens planet.
âI have one ready to go,â Nova began, hinting to Y/N who stepped out the wood work, literally, everyone jumping but for Nova who looked at Y/N & smirked.
Carol had been standing with Nova when she revealed herself, the up-roar ear splitting at the fact Y/N had been in the room the entire time, a half breed that would betray them at nothing. An abomination that should be put out of it's misery, thrown out to the abyss or better yet sold to the collector to recuperate all the credits spent on her training. A hardened creature that tuned it out, till now, sitting & looking to the setting sun, phone buzzing again.
Buzzing, that was what it sounded like the day she was beat senseless, a Kree warrior snarling in pointed ear to just be still & let it happen. Noting but a whore, green skin marked with purple that made her skrull to the core, no amount of breeding could ever wash it from ones veins.
Another buzz, this time from the electric prod the Xandarian guard used to nock her to the floor because he had no chance to cripple her otherwise. Harshly drug to the delegate that asked Y/N be brought to her. Stripped bare to stand before the Sovereign leader that walked around Y/N, kept naked before her, studying her, degrading her, curious what it would take to truly break her. Nova the one to find the skrull out in the courtyard of the Nova Corps, beat senseless & naked, all after making the rank of general.
By all rights Y/N should hate everyone, questioning why she didnât at that moment. Coming out of dark thoughts to realize that it had grown dark, tuning into the music that played low & realizing that it wasnât what had been playing. Getting to numb feet slowly to realize she wasnât alone, the music what Bucky played when he was in a nostalgic mood. Turing to the kitchenette, the soldier standing next to the table smiling at her, wearing jeans, t-shirt & a sheepish smile.
âI figured if you werenât going to come out with me that I would bring it to you,â he admitted, finally stepping forward to reach out for green hand.
âBucky⊠look. I know youâŠ. I'm sorry⊠it want ever be as simple as it would if I wasâŠ,â Y/N began, unflinching as he took a shaky hand in a metal one to lift it up for them both to see.
âI know it is not simple doll⊠you donât have to tell me⊠but I donât care. Come on, letâs eat & watch a movie. It's Friday night, the others are in the common room watching a romantic movie. Figured we would watch something else,â he smiled, making it hard for Y/N to keep a straight face the moment Bucky took the hand he held to press the calloused palm to stubbled cheek.
âSee? I donât care. It changes nothing. Not the way you feel, you touch. It's just a color that the twins scream at the top of their lungs every time they see you. I mean, you handed Steve his assâŠ,â Bucky chuckled as he tugged thick frame close to wrap a flesh arm around ample waist to sway Y/N gently to the music while the hand he had laid on stubbled cheek slipped to his neck.
Filling the flesh that met the metal underneath the shirt, free hand going to his opposite shoulder as Bucky moved her gently around the room.
âI did hand his ass to him didnât I,â Y/N smirked up at Bucky, not caring if fangs showed, now that she thought of it Steve had backed off a lot in training.
âThat is the best thing Iâve seen in a long time,â Bucky laughed, slowing as the track changed, pulling Y/N with him to the table to pull the seat out & push it in as she sat.
The skrull unable to stop the smile that pulled at emerald lips, taking over once stoic features when the soldier lit the candles that sat on the table. Smiling at him as he finally took a seat, surprised she never heard him placing the plates & food out.
âThank you Bucky,â Y/N smiled as he moved to begin eating.
âIt's no problem doll,â he smiled, remembering how Ann had done little things like this for him, wondering why she did & now finally understanding as he looked at Y/N, he was falling in love with her.
âNo, I mean thank you for not giving upâŠ. including meâŠ. For notâŠ.,â Y/N spoke kindly, still smiling at the soldier across from her.
âFor not pushing you to the sideâŠ. Yeah it's not in me doll to give up on youâŠ,â Bucky smiled hinting to begin eating.
It was a quiet night, even for the party that was going on in the common room. They all seemed quiet as Y/N & Bucky curled up on the couch in an attempt to watch another movie that only ended in the two sharing stories of battles & some to funny not to share.
Y/N pausing as a calloused thumb caressed along soft jaw. Bucky relaxed back on the arm of the couch, Y/N laying between his legs on her back, green hand cherishing over clothed thigh to look back, surprised when calloused thumb ghosted over bottom lip. Ruby orbs locking onto calming ocean blue eyes that sparkled with light from the tv screen.
The soldier releasing Y/N to turn in his arms to lay on his stomach, arms wrapping around thick middle to pull close to speak on beautiful emerald lips. Tongue darting out to lick parched lips as hot breath fanned over them, sending a chill down her spine she hadnât felt in decades.
âDo you not worry I will hurt the twins,â Y/N began, so close lips tickled as she spoke.
âDoll, you donât have it in you to hurt them. I may be a cold blooded assassin & you may be war skrull, but I am also a father. I know when someone is & isnât right for us. And you, Y/N, are no threat, especially if you were wiling to come help me clean up chocolate syrup when it looked like they had smeared shit all over the placeâŠ.,â Bucky chuckled, dying for a taste of her.
âStayâŠ,â Bucky breathed, the word he spoke to the skrull every chance he got.
Finally getting the courage to press his lips to hers, softer than what he could have ever imagined. Flesh hand going to the nape of soft neck to deepen the kiss, calloused hands snaking around to the back of his own to thread into auburn locks to keep him in place. Soft lips parting without prompting, tongues tangling as metal hand found the hem of her shirt to run up thick curves, making her gasp out at the coldness of it.
Thick frame sitting up further to get to her knees between his legs as he sat up, palming ample breast through offending bra as green hands traveled to the hem of his shirt, tugging it over his head, breaking the kiss long enough to fling it to the floor. Hot hands doing the same to repeat the process, falling back to each other to prolong the kiss as hands went to the buckle on his jeans, his own going to the yoga pants, starting to push them down when the cell phone.
âThe twins,â he gasped out, breaking the kiss to hurriedly pull the phone out of unzipped pants, falling back to the arm of the couch, pulling Y/N with him to hold her to his chest before taking the video call, Y/N grabbing the throw on the couch to wrap it around bare shoulders.
âGREEN,â the twins squealed making Y/N realize she was in the picture, sure to smile & say hi, to the horror of the grandparents who kept mouths shut thankfully.
âYeah guys, weâre watching a movie,â Bucky told the overly excited children who looked to be bouncing around all over the place jabbering that they wanted to come home & watch a movie with Y/N.
âOk, clam down, I'm sure Y/N will come watch a movie with us when you get back, but it's bed time guys,â Bucky told the kids who asked for an Uncle Steve story.
âOh no. I know that you have already had one, youâre not milking this tonight,â he scolded the two sweetly, Y/N looking up at the soldier, a smile on her face even when the kids complained.
âOk,â both spoke in their small voices, âlove you daddy, love you Y/N..,â the two chimed in, taking Y/N off guard to look at the screen with a nervous smile but retuning the sentiment before they hung up.
âSee doll, even they arenât going to give up on you,â Bucky smiled, laying the phone in the floor, hand going to soft cheek to pull her up to him once more.
âCan we slow down? Not that I didnât enjoy the rushâŠ.,â Y/N began, the throw falling from bare shoulders, but not bothering to pull it back up, even releasing it to fall to the floor to lay flush to toned stomach.
âIt's up to you doll, Iâll do whatever you ask except for give up on you, because that aint happen sweetheart,â he smiled, stealing a kiss, allowing Y/N get comfortable, surprised at how she fell into it, hands reaching to the nape of his neck once more to lace into auburn locks.
Y/N finally laying her head under his chin as metal & flesh wrapped around bare middle to settle down. Sitting quietly & listening to each other breath, not focusing on the movie while eyes began to flutter closed. The only thing the soldiers ever wanted was someone to keep them safe, so they could sleep through the night & get the rest they craved.
This time the knock on the door was easy, as if the person was trying to be courteous of the two occupants in Y/Nâ room that had somehow made it to bed, tangled in limbs that didnât want to unravel, still in last nightâs clothes that were wrinkled beyond belief.
âI'm sorry to wake you,â F.R.I.D.A.Y began gently, âbut Captain Rogers needs to speak with the two of you before he leaves.â
âOk, hang on,â a gritty voice rasped out as Bucky attempted to untangle from Y/N who was wrapped tight around black vibranium that was warm thanks to the skrull curled around it that whimpered out as he removed it.
âCome on doll, you know he likes to get up before the ass crack of dawn,â Bucky joked, running flesh hand along a spine that relaxed the instant the warm appendage soothed over flesh that wasnât covered in a sports bra.
âYeah, yeah,â Y/N began groggily, finally letting go to roll to her side of the bed while Bucky got up, obvious he didnât care if he wore a shirt, starting for the door while Y/N grabbed the closest thing at hand before heading to the door.
âHey,â Steve began the moment the door opened, not surprised Bucky was the one to open the door, devoid of shirt with Y/N stepping next to the soldier in his wrinkled shirt, not meaning to look her up & down, damn maybe there was something to that thick body.
âYou are leaving early,â Bucky began, snapping Steve out of it, hinting to the stealth uniform, going as far as to throw flesh arm around clothed shoulders, smirking when he realized she wore Buckyâ discarded shirt.
âUh, yeah. I know I told you to originally help with training the new hires, but now I need you too,â Steve admitted, looking to Y/N who was wiping the sleep out of crimson eyes before it registered what he asked.
âWilson not able to make itâŠ.,â Y/N began clearing dry throat to finally focus on the captain with a yawn, absentmindedly leaning into Buckyâ warm side, recalling how ever since she floored Steve the Falcon didnât seem as inviting as he once was.
âNo, he will be there to. I got word late last night that there were several more joining the group & didnât want them to be overwhelmed,â Steve explained, cocking blonde head at how domesticated she looked.
âYou think that is something that you would be comfortable with,â Steve actually asked Y/N who puzzled as if it was a trap.
âUm, yeah, Iâve trained recruits before on Xandar, this should be no problem,â Y/N finally spoke, looking up to Bucky then to Steve who gave a genuine smile.
âGood, thanks for bailing our asses out,â the blonde actually thanked Y/N before exchanging goodbyes & hurrying down the corridor.
âSomethingâs wrong with Steve,â Bucky began looking down the hall then back down to Y/N who puzzled at the soldier that was wrapping his arm around her tightly.
âWhat do you meanâŠ,â she asked cautiously.
âI think you hit him too hard & jarred something loose,â the brunet laughed, both stepping into the room, Bucky looking over the curves that looked perfect under HIS shirt, stopping her the moment the door shut to pull her flush, crashing their lips together in a needy kiss.
âGet ready & meet me in the hall in 30,â he asked, watching pink tongue soothe over now puffy lips, a smile taking over as she shook her head yes.
