Forgiven not Forgotten | Part 6
Matchmaking would unfortunately have to wait. As much as the parents wanted to dive right in, meddle a little, be insufferable, it was well overdue after all, there were more pressing concerns. Eddie was awake. He was awake, coherent, sure he’d been initially a little loopy loo on the drugs, but he was able to answer questions, simple questions. Sort of.
“What year is it?”
“I mean, I thought it was 1986 but I seem to be missing a couple of years so, pretty sure it’s 1988 now. So much for graduating.”
“Who’s the president?”
“Man I dunno, how would I know? I just told you I’m missing a couple of years. Reagan? Is it still Reagan?”
“It’s still Reagan, Eds, election isn’t for another few months.”
“Thanks, Stevie.” Eddie turned back to the doctor “Reagan then.”
“Don’t help the patient, Mr Harrington.” Steve mouthed a sorry but didn’t actually look sorry. Eddie just smiled at him. A conspiratorial little grin shared between them, like an inside joke they’d never had the moment to create. It continued on like that for a good half an hour, boring step by step questions to ascertain just how much of Eddie’s memory was simply not there.
It turned out, he remembered nothing from after he took his seemingly last breath, to waking up in that room. Or at least that was what he was sticking to. Until the doctors left and everyone decided to leave Steve on his own in that room with him. The Harringtons gently guiding Dustin out as well, offering to get him something from the vending machines as their sandwiches had been distributed already to those sitting in with Max, Will, and Eleven via Robin.
Stinson had already collected the documents and was likely off to do whatever she had to do to fulfil her promises.
“I do remember some stuff.” Eddie finally broke the silence that seemed to fall over them the second everyone left the room. Steve’s eyes shot to him, wide, fearful? Why was he afraid? He held up a hand quickly, then got up out of his chair. Eddie watched in confused silence as Steve rummaged around the room, checking around things, the flowers people had left, the plant in the corner of the room, the TV that hadn’t been turned on, each of the little machines, he even checked the lights, and only when apparently satisfied, his search coming up empty-handed, did he finally turn back to Eddie.
“What do you remember, Eddie?”
“Nothing out here I guess.” He wasn’t going to ask why Steve ransacked the room, it didn’t really matter. “The real world I mean. It was like… a void. This big, dark space. It felt like I was stuck in limbo, but I could like… make stuff appear if I thought about it hard enough.” Steve’s continued silence only prompted him to talk more “like—like my bedroom back at the trailer? I could make that appear, everything in it, crystal clear, I could use stuff in it like my guitar, or my yo-yo! I could make the picnic table behind the school appear, I could even make Red’s living room appear if I thought about it hard enough… it was like… like I was stuck in my own brain or something, it was only places I’d been too. Time didn’t really… move there, y’know? I thought I’d only been gone a few days.”
Steve was looking down at the floor, brows furrowed, eyes flicking as if searching for answers in his own mind, working through theory after theory in silence. “Was it just you in there?”
“Mhm yeah, I mean… sorta. I think so. I mean, the mirror in my room always freaked me out a little bit but… I dunno, it was me just—”
“Not you.”
“Yeah. How’d you—"
“Don’t talk about this. At all, with anyone else. Okay? Nobody else. Not even the kids. This cannot leave this room, alright?” Eddie’s eyes flicked to the door, before he nodded “you stick to your story, you don’t remember anything. Nothing. You got ate, you woke up here. Nothing in between. Not the void. Nothing. That’s the story you stick to. Got it?”
“…Steve… what happened?” Steve sat back down beside his bed.
“Nothing good, nothing good happened these past two years okay? But as long as you don’t remember, and with what we know, I don’t think there’s anything out there that could jog that memory, you’ll be fine.” Eddie let his eyes drop to his lap, fingers fiddling with the blankets, full of nervous, uncertain energy. He was missing something. He was missing a lot of somethings, but Steve was right. It wasn’t like there was a fog in his mind where memories should have been, he remembered dying, the void, and then waking up. Nothing was missing there. He didn’t even feel like he was missing something. “I’m not going to tell you what happened, Eddie so don’t ask. There are things that you don’t need to know, things that you wouldn’t want to know. Just be grateful that you don’t remember them, and that you’re here, alright?”
“…I still don’t know how I’m here.”
“You don’t need to, just… be glad you are. We all are.”
“…All of you?”
“All of us, Munson.”
They fell into silence again, not uncomfortable, Steve seemed content where he was, a little troubled maybe, there were lines on his face that weren’t there before, stress and worry having etched permanent lines into his skin the past two years, but he was content. “Steve I—”
The door bursting open cut off anything Eddie would have said, he wasn’t even sure what he was going to say, he didn't have a plan but Steve was staying so he had to say something even if it would have been dumb... so he was sort of glad it happened.
He was glad Robin burst in and immediately took to reaching for the TV with a “you have to see this shit.” As her explanation as a news channel, the screen split between two women quickly came into view. one in a news studio, one backed by a horrorscape the people in the room unfortunately recognised.
“—he closest we’ve been allowed to get to Hawkins Indiana in the last two years, after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocked this quaint town 80 miles outside of Indianapolis. This town, once struck by tragedy, after tragedy, now lays desolate, a wasteland, and although the government remains tight lipped as to the exact cause of the decay which has steadily overcome this town for the last two years, government operatives who have been slowly picking through the wreckage of this disaster looking for more survivors, have assured us that it is a contained and isolated incident.”
“And this decay… I’m sure towns nearby will be worried, it can’t spread further, right?” The anchor prompted.
“No Judy, we have been assured that, while it remains classified, the cause has been located, and destroyed by a combined herculean effort from both civilian, and government forces.”
“Is there any further information on the murders that took place just before this disaster struck? If you recall some were claiming these disasters were tied to satanism and caused by ritualistic sacrifices at work?”
“Unfortunately the losses sustained in this catastrophe include the majority of the police force investigating this heinous crime, however our sources have revealed the true identity of the perpetrator, to be none other than a Mr Henry Creel, brought to justice by the very man he framed for the murders of Chrissy Cunningham, Patrick McKinney, Fredrick Benson, and the attempted murder of Maxine Mayfield. Eyewitnesses have come forward to reveal Edward Munson was seen alongside several other civilians who will remain nameless, heroically subduing the man in his attempt to flee a second thankfully unsuccessful attempt on miss Mayfields life. His reign of terror over this small town, finally ended by the very people he tormented.”
“I have here that Henry Creel was presumed deceased several years ago, is that correct?”
It was so scripted, everything about it, nothing felt real but… they were at least pinning it on the actual guilty party.
Creel’s human face revealed on screen in between the two video feeds, a blurry ID photo with no discernible origin used as the picture. It disappeared again shortly after, the two feeds growing larger once more to fill the split screen.
“Yes. Perhaps that is what gave him the freedom to enact this terrible crime without suspicion. He was being held in a private psychiatric facility which cares for mentally traumatised youths, pronounced deceased to protect him from association with his father, Victor Creel. He escaped spring of '86 under the name Peter Ballard, and immediately took to live up to his fathers’ terrible legacy.”
“And what can you tell us about the survivors of this catastrophe?”
“Once a population of just under 15,000, survivors have been spread across just four hospitals in Roane County. The death toll…” the reporter appeared to breathe, she looked down for a moment, clearly emotional “unfathomable. This will surely go down in history as one of the worst natural disasters The United States has ever experienced.”
“Thank you, Harriet.” The second feed was cut, the anchor taking up the entirety of the screen once more. “Government officials have stated that the names and current locations of identified survivors will be made available at this free to call automated line.” A number flashed up on the screen. It stayed there for just long enough to write it down “it will be shown over the course of the following weeks until all survivors are claimed by family or friends.”
The camera switched to another anchor, a man. “In lighter news, Washin—” Robin turned off the TV. Screw lighter news.
Steve stared at the now blank screen, mouth hanging open, “Did they just—”
“Pin the blame on the actual guy who did it while giving Eddie the credit for taking his ass down? Haha, yeah. Stinson didn’t fuck around.”
“Holy shit. That was like, an hour. Maximum.”
“Stinson, didn’t fuck around. Also your parents have been calling estate agents in Bloomington.”
“Huh?”
Eddie needed a nap.

Tumblr media
WWE Payback PPV
PPG Paints Arena Pittsburgh, Pa
Candice's POV
WWE shows always move fast and house shows are no different even though we aren’t doing many at the moment, we just never picked our schedules back up after COVID. Walking, I stumbled as I felt familiar arms reach out to grab me around the waist. “Damn, you tryin' to knock my ass over. Where’s the fire Candice?” a deep voice said full of humor.
 Blushing I slightly ran my hands up his arms. Yep, I knew those tattoos and smell anywhere. I couldn’t help but smile up at none other than Main Event Jey Uso. “You know I can be clumsy when I’m in a hurry. “Thanks, for catching me,” I whispered as he smiled kissing my forehead.
 “Anytime beautiful, you know I always got you,” he said as I blushed looking at him. Candice hold it together, focus.  What is wrong with you? . All he’s doing is looking at you and you’re ready to give him anything he asks for.
 “Not that I’m complaining but why are you here? I thought you had a couple more weeks off,” I said as he smirked at me.
 “Well, if you would have answered my calls, I could have told you they traded me to Raw. Cody is gon’ announce it tonight,” he said hugging me as I sighed in his arms as I felt his hands caressing my back holding me closer.
“I’m sorry, I’ve just been busy Jey, plus you needed to enjoy your time off,” I said as his lips grazed the column of my neck as I shivered against him.
“I wanted to hear your voice and know you were good,” he whispered as I nodded.
“Hey, congrats you deserve this. I think you will love it on the raw brand,” I said as his fingertips grazed my back gently as tried to maintain my composure and change the subject.
This man just makes me feel so good and make me feel so safe. Something that feels this good can’t be bad……Can it? “I know I will because you here wit me, but you still ain’t gave me a real good reason as to why you didn’t at least call back. I mean a five-minute conversation wasn’t gon’ spoil my time off,”” he said as I sighed trying to find an excuse.
As I began pulling away his intense passionate stare made me pause.
 “I’ll tell you what I think… I think you like me, but I freaked you out when I asked you to be my lady,” Jey said towering over me as I took a deep breath.
“We’re at work, do we have to talk about this here,” I said trying to keep my voice down as he looked around before pulling me into an empty dressing room. “What are you doing?” I started but was cut off by a demanding kiss from him as I felt my knees buckle as he pulled me close. 
“Jey, we can’t,” I whispered as he moved his kisses to my neck. “What you afraid of baby,” he moaned against my neck as I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer.
 “I would never hurt you; I just want to make you mine,” he said softly ravishing my neck with kisses. “I know you do,” I moaned entangling me fingers in his hair as he as masterful mouth was nibbling and sucking on my neck as his hands caressed my hips.
“I want you to see I ain’t like him, I would never hurt you,” he whispered as I melted into his arms as he gently lifted me off the floor wrapping my legs around his waist as he began thrusting against my wet covered center. “Jey! We can’t,” I whined pulling him closer, my body betraying my mind.
“You feel so good baby,” he moaned as I gasped feeling his need for me as he slowly thrusted up against me. “Mmm, Jey,” I moaned getting lost in just being this close to him. “Yea, its me baby, you feel that, I want you to feel what only you do to me,” he confessed never stopping his devious torture, as he placed me against the wall with a primal growl.
 “Jey, we’re not ready for this, we gotta stop,” I moaned, gasping as his hands began to travel under my dress gently moving my panties to the side.
Jey’s POV
“Jey, what are you doing? Candice gasped gripping my arm as I began rubbing her clit gently with my thumb. Her moans almost making me lose focus on the task at hand, to make her cum hard as fuck.
“I just want to please you, Relax and enjoy this,” I whispered taking her in a loving kiss as I entered her tight wet pussy with two of my fingers, my thumb still torturously rubbing her clit as she’s now moving with my fingers.
“Yeah, that’s it. Ride my fingers baby and get yo nut. I know it’s been a long time, I'mma take care of you,” I promised as I felt her pussy tighten around my fingers.  “Mmm, you promise,” Candice moaned as I groaned feeling her pussy clench tighter around my fingers.
 “Yea, I'mma always take care of you, baby. Damn you so wet, and tight, if you like this from just my fingers that pussy gon’ gush a river when I finally give you all this dick,” I moaned talkin’ my shit as Candice’s body writhed with need in my arms.
“Mmmhm, I can’t wait either. Fuck! Your fingers feels so good Jey,” Candice moaned, her nails digging deep into my back as she chased her orgasm against my fingers moaning in ecstasy.
“I’m gon’ make you mine real soon, I ain’t giving up on us. You hear me Candice, you gon’ be mine,” I whispered as we shared a kiss of desperation. She was close and it wasn’t gon’ take much to send her over the edge.
“Jey, what are you doin’ to me? I don’t do stuff like this,” Candice gasped against my mouth as I smirked speeding up my movements. “I’m showing you, how it feels to be loved by me,” I said honestly claiming her mouth in another passionate kiss, silencing her moans as our tongues battled for control.
“Fuck! I’m so close. I need it so bad,” Candice moaned as it was taking everything in me to not fuck her right now up against this wall. My fingers working her over as I heard and felt how wet she was I growled with anticipation and need.
I had to taste her; I admit it was bold as fuck making my move at work, but I couldn’t help it. I wanted her so fuckin’ bad.
Candice’s POV
“Yess! Right there, fuck I’m about to cum,” I moaned closing my eyes as suddenly Jey removed his fingers causing me to whimper at the sudden loss.
Opening my eyes in shock, ready to give a snarky remark, I was rendered speechless as I saw him slowly sinking to his knees, slowly pushing my dress up, admiring my body.
My breath caught in my throat as he put one of my legs over his shoulder, looking up at me with a sly smirk before licking his lips.  
“Don’t you dare, we can’t,” I whispered biting back a moan as he kissed my inner thigh as I tried to pull away. “Oh yes we can, and we will,” his deep voice making me weak as fuck as I felt powerless under his spell as he prevented me from moving.
 All of a sudden, a strong knock on the door startled us as Jey put a finger to his lips telling me to be quiet as he continued rubbing my thigh.
“Damn I can’t wait to have these sexy ass thighs wrapped around me,” he softly muttered trying to catch his breath hoping whoever it was would go away. Trying to catch my own breath I heard a familiar voice.
“Uce, you in there, you up next. You got bout 10 minutes before Cody introduces you,” Jimmy said now frantically knocking on the door as Jey’s smirk never left his face as he caressed my leg. His gaze had me under his spell waiting in desperation.
“Yea, I’m in here. I’ll meet you in Gorilla. Give me five minutes. I promise that’s all I need,” he said licking his lips, his eyes never leaving mine.
His words had a double meaning and it made me wetter than before as he attacked my clit with his tongue as a deep moan escaped my lips.  
“Fuck! I exclaimed moving my trembling hands to the back of his head as Jey yanked me closer to his mouth. “Yes, make me cum, shit!” I moaned as he continued to devour my pussy with his mouth as I ran my fingers through his hair, biting my lip trying not to make much noise.
“Damn! He in there puttin’ it down,” I heard Jimmy whisper as my body began to tremble with need. “Get outta folks’ business and leave them alone,” I heard Trin whisper as I felt my body losing control.
My best friend and her husband are listening to me receive the best head of my life and I couldn't care less.
 “A’ight we headin’ to Gorilla to watch, so hurry up! Aye, Candice I know that’s you in there, take it easy on him. You know he got work to do tonight,” Jimmy said laughing as Jey chuckled his mouth vibrating on my pussy sending shockwaves through me.
The sight of Jey on his knees giving his all to please me made me wetter as I began moving my hips against his tongue fast and hard talkin’ my own shit.
“You been dreaming about tastin’ me, haven’t you?” I moaned as Jey groaned in agreement.
“Mmhmm, you know I have, and I want you to give it all to me now. Gon’ cum for me beautiful,” Jey encouraged as his grip on my hips tightened.
“Jey! I’m cummin’!” I exclaimed exploding in Jey’s welcoming mouth as his moans sent shivers down my spine.
“Mmhm, Yea, give it all to me Candice. Fuck you taste so fuckin’ good,” Jey praised lapping up my juices as I tried to come down from my high. Shit, I had never had an organism that intense before.
“You are crazy, just plain insane,” I whispered looking down at him blushing as he licked his lips before wiping the reminisce of me off his beard.
“I’m crazy bout yo ass, I done told you that a thousand times. Do you believe me now?” he asked smiling at me. God that smile will be my undoing.
“I’m sorry I’ve been avoiding you, ” I whispered as he took my leg off his shoulder, gently fixing my dress, smiling slyly at me. ���Shit, I ain’t it got us here. I have to say I really enjoyed pleasing you baby,” he said standing up, taking me in a gentle kiss as my arms snaked around his neck pulling him close as I tasted myself on his tongue.
“Mmm, you are trouble, Mr. Fatu,” I moaned as he smirked against my lips. “Nah, you trouble, got me addicted to you, and I ain’t even made you mine yet,” he whispered as I moaned at the thought.
Yea, he was trouble, I was falling fast as hell for him. I closed my eyes as I felt him running his fingers through my hair. "Whoo, I gotta calm down, you make me can’t think straight woman,” he chuckled readjusted himself in his pants as I blushed.
We could faintly hear Cody’s entrance music begin to play. “You better go,” I finally whispered looking down as he rubbed my arms, reluctantly pulling away but not before tenderly giving me a kiss on top of my head.
“Look at me Candice, don’t hold your head down,” Jey said gently caressing my face making me look at him.  “A woman as beautiful as you should never hold her head down,” Jey said as I gave him a small smile.
 “We gon’ continue this later,” he said as our lips met in a chaste kiss before he slipped out the door leaving me wanting more of him.
 He just wouldn’t let up, I liked him, but I was just scared to take the leap. I waited a few minutes before making my way back to my station.
I worked for the WWE doing backstage photoshoots, and promotional pictures for the company. I enjoyed my job but at times it can get very overwhelming for me especially under the lurking eyes of my ex.
“Where were you last night, I came by to see you and you weren’t in your room,” a deep possessive voice said as my blood ran cold. Yea, I recognized it, and it made my skin crawl at how I was letting him dictate my life.
“I was out Roman, and why would I want to see you?” I questioned with a bit of an attitude. “Don’t do that, you know I’m Joe to you. I always have been and always will be aulelei,” he said invading my space as I cringed at his use of his pet name for me in Samoan.  
“I’m Surprised to see you down here, your girlfriend must have let you off your leash,” I said moving away from him as he smiled looking at me moving around getting ready for my upcoming photoshoot.
“Look I know I fucked up but come on admit it you miss me,” Joe said licking his lips seductively as I avoided his steamy gaze. “Just leave me alone ok, I don’t have time for this,” I said as he invaded my space again.
 “Look, you might as well stop with the games Candice because you’ll always be mine, and I’ll always be yours. I love you, just give me another chance to make it right,” he begged gently caressing my face as I tried to keep my emotions in check. I wanted to really slap his ass, but I was trying to remain professional.
“The problem is you want to love on me in private but want a different bitch on your arm in public for your image. That’s not love Joe, you embarrassed to be seen with me,” I said stepping away from him, looking around trying to make sure nobody was listening to our conversation or got the wrong idea about it.
“Look I fucked up, I was immature then, and what people thought overruled everything and I’m sorry,” he said not realizing I had checked out of this conversation.  
I mean yeah, I wasn’t a size four, but I carried my weight well and in all the right places. Jey didn’t seem to mind, hell Joe, himself would get jealous when men would flirt with me.
My thoughts were becoming clearer as each second passed as to why Joe was still pursuing me.
“I’m so damn stupid, I get it now, “I said shaking my head as everything was starting to make sense. “What are you talking about Candice?” Joe asked as I pointed at him in disbelief.
“You keep coming around, cause your lil girlfriend ain’t makin’ the cut,” I said as Joe made no effort to deny what I had said.  “Look, I just want us back, is that so bad. Don’t you remember? We were going to start a family,” Joe said pulling me close as I pried his arms from around my waist as he groaned in frustration.
 “Well, I’m sorry things didn’t work out the way you envisioned them Joe, and I wish all the success in the world. But as far as you and me, it’s over,” I said honestly moving away from him.
For the first time, I said it to him without crying or yelling, and I knew it was truly over and I was at peace with it.
“So, you just gon’ throw away five years,” Joe said as I shook my head at him in disbelief. “I didn’t throw it away…. You did when you cheated, now live with it,” I said leaving him frazzled as I walked away.
Not so much fun when the rabbit has the gun is it Mr. Anoa’i?
Jey’s POV
Coming backstage after my segment I seen Joe approaching Candice. I watched the scene unfold in front of me in shock. She held her own; I just didn’t want her stirring up memories in him that would cause him to keep pursuing her.  
What the fuck am I talking about? He’s been pursuing her this whole past year trying to worm his way back into her life. I just wish he would leave her alone and let her go.
I love my cousin, that’s family and all but the way he always disrespected Candice and took her for granted still rubs me the wrong way to this day.  I saw Joe spot me out of the corner of his eye as he smiled at me.
“Hey Uce, you killin’ it out there, I know you gon’ shine bright on the Raw brand,” he said smiling at me. “Thanks, Uce, it means a lot. What brings you out tonight, I know you ain’t got a match,” I said trying to keep it cool and play a little dumb.  
“I flew in to try to talk to Candice. She still trying to play hard to get like she doesn’t miss me,” Joe said as I frowned. “Uce, it’s been a year, maybe she’s moving on,” I said as Joe Scoffed at me.
“Wit who? Ain’t nobody gon’ approach her because they know they gotta deal wit me,” Joe asked as I rubbed my face in frustration as he seemed to catch on. “Oh, so you still got yo lil crush on her?” Joe asked smirking at me.
“Look, why can’t you leave her alone Uce, you already hurt her. I still don’t know how you even cheated on her, to begin with,” I said before I could stop myself.  “So lil cuz, you really think you can take my spot? Joe asked as I sighed.
“Look ain’t nobody trying to take nobody spot. She ain’t a piece of property, and what we do ain’t none of your business either,” I said looking at him with no fear.
 “Candice ain’t gon’ never give you a shot. I mean you can try but get ready to be disappointed, because she’ll always be mine, and I can have her anytime I want,” Joe said patting me on the shoulder before walking away.
Could that be true, I mean after what he did to her, I don’t think she would take him back, I hope not.

Pensacola, FL
Joe’s House
“Babe, can you run and get the guys and I some more beer,” Joe said kissing Candice’s neck as she blushed. Man, that blush could make any man weak as fuck. “Sure, I guess I can,” she smiled standing up as he smacked her on the ass.
“Hey, watch yourself now,” she said rolling her eyes at him. I can’t say I blame him, it’s a beautiful ass and don’t get me started on her beautiful hourglass figure.
We heard the house phone ring again and it was really weird as the phone had been ringing practically all day since we got here at Joe’s.
“Now I’m sick of this phone tag,” Candice said irritated, leaning over Joe to answer the phone.
“Hello……Hello, I really wish you would say something besides heavy breathing like a dragon and calling back to back like you’re stupid,” she said hanging up the phone as I saw Joe looking nervous.
I know that ain’t no woman calling this house, he wouldn’t be that bold. I mean it's Candice; this woman is amazing, and any man would give a limb to even be in her presence and see her smile at them.  
“Babe it’s ok, Jey can you go with her to the store?” Joe asked nervously. He was trying to really push her out of the house quickly. This fucker is cheating, I know it.
 “Uh, sure let’s go, Candice,” I said standing up, fixing my shirt.  I mean at least it’s a chance for me to get to spend some alone time with her.
“Thanks, Jey, I could really use the company.  let me get my coat,” she said walking into the kitchen away from us.
“Uce, I know that wasn’t a girl calling here, are you cheating on Candice?” I hissed as he shushed me. “Look, ya’ll know I love her, but she’s not exactly the type of woman I need on my arm right now,” he hissed.
“What the fuck you mean by that shit Uce,” Jimmy says looking at Joe sideways. 
“This Tribal Chief & bloodline angle is more over than we all ever dreamed it could be. I got more press, red carpets, and TV shows to do. I need a baddie on my arm,” he said as Jimmy, and I looked at each other in disbelief.
“What the hell you talkin’ bout that girl is gorgeous,” Jimmy said shaking his head at our cousin and his shallow thinking.  “Now don’t get me wrong she’s amazing and beautiful as fuck but I got to look and play a certain part with the right girl, “he said as I couldn’t stop the growl rising in my throat.
“You so fuckin shallow, that girl loves your ass. It ain’t nothing wrong wit her, it’s yo ass that’s the problem,” I said angry at him and myself.
 I had seen her first and wanted to ask her out, but Joe had given me this sob story of how he really liked her and could see a future with her. I hated myself, I would have never treated her this way.
 “That’s foul as fuck Uce, I can’t believe you switchin’ up on Candice. You gon’ regret that shit when somebody else slides in and steals her away,” Jimmy said as the phone rang twice and stopped.
 “Candice ain’t going nowhere. Look, just get her out of here Jey,” Joe whispered as he looked at the phone.  I rolled my eyes heading into the kitchen.
“Hey, you ready to go Candice?” I asked putting on a fake smile as she put a finger to her lips shushing me. Fuck, did she hear us? She went over to the door, opening and closing it to make it look like we had left.
We stood there in silence for a few minutes and like clockwork, the phone rang again. “Let’s just go Candice,” I said as she picked up the cordless phone, put it on speaker, and put her hand on the receiver.
“I ain’t crazy Jey, something is up, and I want to know what it is,” she said, trying to remain strong as her strained voice gave away her worry.
“Why did you keep calling baby? I was going to call you back. I needed to get rid of her first,” Joe said calmly into the phone.  “I wanted to hear your voice lover,” the female purred as I could see the hurt look on Candice’s face.
 “I sent you a ticket to come see me, I’m off the next few days,” he said with excitement in his voice.
“What about your girlfriend?” she asked laughing as I rolled my eyes. “I’m gon’ fuck her real good and start an argument in the morning. I know she will blast my ass out and go over to one of my cousins houses to cool off for a few days,” he said without remorse.
 “You are so bad,” the female laughed as Joe continued talking. “I’ll hit her up and makeup when we get back on the road. I just want you both, you understand that right baby?” Joe said, seeming to think he had it all under control.
 “I understand baby, I don’t mind sharing. I know you love us both,” she said softly. “Yeah, I really do love you both, I’m thinking about telling Candice that WWE hired you to walk the red carpets with me, so she won’t catch on. I gotta play it smart, I don’t want to lose her either,” Joe said as Candice, hearing enough hung up the phone in disbelief.
 “Are you okay Candice?” I asked, almost scared of the answer. "Loves us both...Loves us both.... Am I being punked right now, 'cause there ain't no way he'd do this,” Candice whispered in disbelief as I saw a few tears escape her eyes. Damn him for doing this…
“Candice let’s just go, it ain’t worth it,” I said starting to walk over to her as she sidestepped me, going under the sink and grabbing a bucket.
 “I knew this shit, was too good to be true. All ya’ll damn men are the same, play with us women like toys, and always think you can have your cake and eat it too,” She muttered turning on the hot water and filling up the bucket as the steam from the water had me worried. What was she going to do?
“Every man ain’t like that, Candice, just because he fucked up don’t mean we all like that,” I said trying to comfort her, as I saw the fresh tears streaming down her beautiful face.  
“Well Jey, when you find one that isn’t like that, send him my way. Until then I’m done with men, especially whorish wrestlers. Fuck me for not following my first mind,” Candice whispered trying to regain control of the situation and her emotions as she wiped her tears.
“Just leave with me Candice, we can go somewhere and talk,” I said trying to convince her as she began stalking into the living room. “Jey, I love you for trying to smooth shit over, but now isn't the time,” she said as I followed her closely.
Jimmy was gone but Joe sprawled out on the couch like he was the king of the world talking to his other girlfriend on the phone. Yeah, this was going to be bad. “Hey baby, did you forget something? Joe asked not catching on to the look on Candice’s face.
“You really think I’m stupid, don’t you? Your new lil bitch has been calling here all day like some cat in heat. Dropping signals for you to call her back. You are a grimy, slimy piece of shit!” Candice exclaimed, walking closer to Joe as closed his eyes knowing he had been caught.
 “Fuck, it ain’t what it looks like, I can explain babe,” he groaned as I stood closer to Candice prepared to jump in if needed.  
“What is it to explain? I heard her, I heard you…..I heard every fucking word, Joe,” Candice whimpered shaking in hurt and anger.
“Let me call you back,” Joe said hanging up the phone quickly as Candice laughed in disbelief. “What you hangin’ up now for! Don’t bother on my account,” Candice said throwing the bucket of hot water all over Joe as he jumped up as if a snake had bit him.
“Fuck! What the hell you do that for!?” he yelled as I tried to stifle my laughter. Joe looked like a shocked, drowned rat, his hair and clothes drenched.
“You know why, don’t play wit me! You lucky that’s all you got!” Candice yelled as Joe tried to move towards her.
“Look, just let me explain. Let’s go upstairs and talk, just us,” Joe said trying to take control of the situation.
“No, I ain’t going nowhere wit you! You know what, just stay the fuck away from me,” Candice said calmly wiping her tears, before walking out of the living room.
“So, you just gon’ leave and not talk to me,” Joe said in disbelief, but a smile tugged at his lips when Candice stopped walking.
It was short-lived though as he realized she had only stopped to grab her duffle bag before walking out the front door to Joe’s dismay.
“Candice wait! I can explain!” Joe yelled, running after her as Jimmy finally came out of the bathroom. “What the hell goin’ on? I thought ya’ll left?” Jimmy asked as I pointed towards the front yard.
 “Candice is trying to leave, and Uce don’t want to let her go,” I said trying to stay neutral. I wanted to go out front and be nosey, but I knew it wasn’t my business.
 “Man, she ain’t hear his ass on the phone, did she?” he asked, running towards the door, hearing the commotion. “Yeah, she did. Now get out they business. They got to handle it on their own Uce!” I yelled at his retreating form.
“Aye! Uce! Let her go!” Jimmy shouted as I ran to catch up with him. I know he ain’t stupid enough to put his hands on her, I’ll kill him.
“Look you can’t just leave like this,” Joe pleaded as Candice was trying to get in her car. “Joe, it’s over, I ain’t stupid and I damn sure ain’t no needy groupie begging for your attention. I don’t give a shit who you are, I don’t share dick sweetheart,” she said trying to move around him as he continued to block her path.
 “Uce! Let her go!” I shouted, moving between them as she went around trying to open her car door. “Fine, leave then I was bout through wit yo fat ass anyway,” Joe said as Candice got in her car, rolling down the window.
 “You ain’t gotta worry about this fat ass no more baby! Keep that same energy when I’m with someone else because best believe I will be. “Yo ass just mad you caught up in your bullshit!” Candice yelled as I saw Joe’s face contorting in anger.
“Yo, ass ain’t goin’ wit nobody else, stop playin’ wit me Candice. You mad now, but we gon’ work this out after you calm down,” Joe said as Candice laughed in his face, but I could see the hurt in her eyes.
“Joe, all I gotta do is make a call and I’ll have a new dick to bounce on before you can even blink, think it’s a game,” Candice said unfeeling, beginning to back out of the driveway as Joe growled in anger.
 “Look, I shouldn’t have said that shit, I was upset. I know I hurt you, but I don’t want to lose you. Can we please at least go back inside and talk away from all these folks looking at us,” he begged, walking beside her car as she continued backing out of the driveway.
His words made me look around as I did see a few of his neighbors watching the exchange between the couple.
“No, we can’t and won’t because it’s over Joe,” Candice said stopping the car, calmly taking off her engagement ring Joe had given her.
“Put the ring back on Candice, this ain’t over. Just put It back on baby,” Joe said softly his demeanor totally changing from anger to worry.
“Just take it, maybe your new lady will like it,” Candice whispered trying to hide her tears as Joe looked at her in horror.
“It’s your engagement ring, put it back on. I had it made for you, just put your ring back on beautiful, please,” Joe pleaded as Candice gently released the ring causing it to fall at Joe’s feet. “I don’t need it, cause I’m not engaged anymore,” Candice said before speeding off out of the subdivision.
“Candice come back so we can talk!  FUCK!” Joe yelled, picking up the ring.
He was so outdone; Candice had knocked his ego down a peg or two. On one hand, I was upset she got hurt but on the other hand, I was happy that for at least now Joe was out of the picture.
“What the hell ya’ll lookin' at, you ain’t never seen a couple having a disagreement?!” Joe yelled at his nosey neighbors as some began to walk back into their houses, while others just stood and watched.
 “Man, fuck all ya’ll,” Joe muttered stalking back into his house.

Jey’s POV
“Everything good Uce,” Jimmy asked snapping me outta my thoughts. “Yea, I’m good let’s go,” I said trying to play off the fact I’m pissed Joe won’t leave Candice alone.
“Trin and Candice went back to the hotel to get dressed,” Jimmy said as that seemed to pep me up a little. I think at this point we all could use a night out.
“I need a drink, after tonight,” I said honestly as Jimmy laughed. “I bet yo ass do, I heard ya’ll in that closet,” he said smiling as I shook my head at him trying to hide my smile.
 “It wasn’t a closet, it was an empty dressing room, thank you. Plus, we didn’t have sex. I just gave her some head; I mean she looked so good I couldn’t help myself” I confessed as he shook his head.
“Yo you wildin’! Givin’ head at work! Candice got yo ass straight gone, Uce,” Jimmy said as I punched him in the shoulder. “Damn, don’t tell everybody,” I said as Jimmy looked at me snickering.
  “Well yo secret is safe wit me lil brother,” he said patting me on the shoulder as we went to get our bags to head to the hotel. Yea, I definitely needed a drink or two.

Hilton Hotel
Atlanta, GA
Candice POV
I can’t believe this motherfucka thinks he can have me, and this woman. Who the fuck he thinks he is?” I muttered putting the finishing touches on my makeup.  
 I honestly needed the break, and I may even sing a song or two. Then my thoughts went to Jey, as I smiled thinking about what had transpired earlier.
He really surprised me tonight, that man is intense, and that mouth is a dangerous weapon if I may say so.
 I really do like him and would love to be in a relationship with him, but I’m just really scared to put myself out there again.
A heavy knock at my door snapped me out of my thoughts as went to open the door.  “Girl, I been out here knocking for five minutes,” Jey said coming inside.
“I’m sorry, I was in the bathroom getting ready,” I said smiling at him as his eyes traveled my body.  “Damn! I'mma have to fight the guys off yo ass tonight,’ he said gently caressing my hips pulling me close as I melted against him.
“You ain’t gotta worry,” I said shyly rubbing his beard as he groaned.
 “You look really beautiful,” he whispered as I wrapped my arms around him as we held each other in comfortable silence.
 As I was just about to suggest we stay in and cuddle, my phone text alert went off.
Jey’s POV
I knew that text tone anywhere it was Joe’s. Taking a deep breath, I let her go as she went and put her phone in her purse ignoring it, shuffling around the room making sure she had everything.
 Joe must of had something important to say because her alerts kept going off. “Ugh, I’m sorry, let me cut my alerts off,” Candice said getting her phone back out of her purse.
“I know it’s him, you can answer it,” I said trying to be a bigger man, but I knew it came off as a little insecure. “I wasn’t trying to hide it, I don’t feel like talking to him and he knows that,” Candice said putting her phone back in her purse before turning off the lights as we exited her room.
 I guess she could see the frustration on my face as she sighed, taking my hand in hers. “You want to talk about it?” she asked as I tried to choose my words wisely.
 “Look, I like you, but every time I think we are getting somewhere you shut me off. Then it don’t help that Joe’s always fuckin’ lurking,” I said as she frowned at me.
 “Jey, I told you I just have a lot going on,” Candice started as I cut her off. “Is it something wrong wit me as to why you can’t even let me love you? I mean do you even like me?” I asked pushing the subject.
“Jey, you know I like you.. It’s not you, it’s me. So much shit has gone down over the past year, I needed some time. It doesn’t mean I don’t like you,” Candice said as we got on the elevator.
I felt my anger boiling at the thought of her going back to Joe.
“Are you going to take him back? I mean I saw ya’ll earlier, I ain’t trying to get hurt either,” I said getting my worries off my chest.  
“What are you talking about?” she asked offended as I continued to put my foot in my mouth.  
“Just tell me now, so I ain’t wasting my time,” I said looking at her as she seemed hurt by my words. “You don’t understand, and you ain’t listening to nothing I’m tryin’ to tell you,” Candice says frustrated as I grabbed her hand.
“Look, let’s just enjoy the night ok,” I said trying to salvage the night with her.
 “Yea, sure,” she whispered looking everywhere but at me. Great job Jey, you just keep puttin’ ya damn foot in yo mouth. Sighing, I gently took her hand in mine and kissed it.
“I’m sorry I jumped the gun, I know ya’ll are over.  It just bothers me he won’t leave you alone,” I said honestly as she looked at me with sad eyes. “It’s ok, let’s just not let him spoil our night ok,” she said shooting me a small smile.
-------------
Karaoke Bar
Atlanta, GA
Candice POV
“Girl, I could have slapped the shit out of him,” I said talking over the music to Trin about my run-in with Joe earlier. I spotted Jey and Jimmy at the bar getting our drinks as Jey waved at me. I smiled at him waving back as he winked at me.
“I think you like Josh, but you scared he may be like Joe. But he isn’t like Joe,” Trin said as I contemplated her words.  “I do like him, I really do,” I said honestly, looking at him laughing at something Jimmy had said as Trin grabbed my hand.
“Sis, I know you have been hurt, but Josh wouldn’t hurt you.  Give him a chance to love you,” Trin said as I smiled weakly at her as she pouted.
I looked up and Jey’s eyes were focused on me as if I would disappear.  “Hey, I see a keyboard, and I got an idea,” Trin said as I sighed knowing she was up to something.
 “Sing and tell Jey how you feel,” she said smiling. “Girl you crazy! I don’t know about all that,” I said blushing as she grabbed my hand and walked me over to the stage.
“Hey, after this song, could my friend sing a song. She’s going to play the keyboard instead of using the karaoke machine,” Trin said as I looked at her like she was crazy. “Hell yeah, we love it when musicians come by and showcase their talents,” the host said smiling at us.
“Trin I can’t do this, I ain’t played the keyboard in years,” I pleaded as she gave me a look that let me know there was no way out of it.
 “It’s time you let him know how you feel.  Pick a song that explains what you’re going through, and go from there,” she said hugging me as I took a deep breath trying to build up my courage.
“I’ll get them to pull down the house lights some so it will dim the room. I know how you hate people’s eyes on you,” she said as I smiled.  “Fine, I’ll try,” I whispered as she went to talk to someone about the lights.
I went over to the keyboard gently running my fingers over the keys smiling. Music was my passion, but I never had the courage to take the leap.
 “Just let the keys guide you, you can do this,” I whispered to myself as I saw the host come back on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we got another volunteer tonight ya’ll.  This beautiful young lady is going to play a little keyboard and give us a song.  So, let’s show her some love, take it away Candice,” he said smiling brightly at me raising his glass in my direction as I returned his kind gesture with a smile of my own.
Jey’s POV
“Candice…My Candice, did I hear him right?” I asked Trin as she smiled pointing at Candice on stage as I felt my heart skip a beat.
“I…. I really don’t sing in public a lot, but sometimes it’s good to let the music speak for you when the world around you is in chaos and you just can’t find the right words to say,” she said smiling at me as I smiled back at her.
“Have any of you ever been in love, but you were scared to put yourself back out there because you’ve been hurt?” she said into the microphone lightly playing on the keyboard, looking around at the crown nervously.  
The crowd murmured in agreement as she smiled, continuing to glide her fingers across the keys.  “Glad I’m not only one, but this song is for him,” she whispered into the microphone as I felt Trin touch my knee.
  I looked over at my sister-in law as she smiled warmly at me, no words were exchanged between us, but I knew she was making sure I understood Candice was talking about me and nobody else.
I saw the lights dim as a spotlight shone brightly on her enhancing her beauty more as she finally began singing.
I Know That You've Been Calling Me,
And I'm happy that we met.
Don't think that I'm not interested.
Or just playing hard to get
Her gaze focused on me as I felt my heart skipping a beat as she continued to sing to me.
So much about this crazy game they call love
That I'm trying to understand,
So could you be my best friend,
Before you call yourself my man
Her voice angelic flowing through the club as she closes her eyes, truly lost in the moment but I’m watching her. I can’t help but be in awe of her, yea I’ve fallen hard and there is no turning back.
Why can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
The crowd is enamored with her as some couples are hugged up, others dancing together as her voice begins to carry even higher as she opened her eyes smiling softly at me.
You seem to know just what you want
And I like your confidence
Some things a girl should never rush
Cause If you do you hurt yourself
“Damn right I know what I want baby,” I muttered to myself as Trin smiled slyly at me having heard my confession. Hell, it wasn’t a secret, I wanted Candice to be mine, and I would wait for as long as it takes.
Candice POV
I knew I wanted it all with Jey, but I had to make sure I had let all the hurt go that my breakup with Joe caused. It wouldn’t be fair to carry that baggage into my relationship with Jey. He deserved better than that.
 As I sang to Jey, I felt free and it dawned on me. I had already truly let go of the hurt and I was ready to be happy again.
I knew what I wanted, and what I was looking for in a partner. Jey was who I wanted, and I had never been more sure of that than I was right now.
I'm too young for tears in the night
And it's to soon for this to be right
Don't wanna mess with your pride
The questions not when but whyyyyy
can't I love you in slow motion,
Take my time,
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Glancing up, our eyes met in a gaze so passionate, it made me weak in the knees. I knew he heard me, he finally understood what I was trying to say.
I Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't... I
The applause was overwhelming as I saw the crowd standing up clapping as the lights came up. “Thank you all so much,” I said standing up to take a bow, pointing at Jey in the crowd letting him know the song was for him. His million-dollar smile shinned brightly with pride as I went backstage.
Jey’s POV
“You better go get yo girl man!” Jimmy exclaimed as Trin pushed me off towards backstage area.  “Aye, I’m goin’ you ain’t got to tell me twice,” I said rushing backstage to get a few minutes alone with her.
I saw her leaning up against the wall, eyes closed taking deep breaths with her hand over her chest. "I can't believe I just did that," she whispered as I smiled. Sneaking up, she gasped as I kissed her cheek.
“Hey best friend,” I whispered as she smiled brightly at me. “Hey bestie,” she whispered in return, hugging me.
“You know I get what you sayin’ and all, it’s just gon’ be hard not to kiss you when I want to,” I confessed as she laughed against my chest. “Who said you couldn’t?” she asked pulling away from me as I moaned at her words.  
“So, what you sayin’ beautiful?” I asked, leaning her up against the wall, towering over her as I felt her fingers grip my shirt as she pulled me closer standing slightly on her tiptoes.
“It means It depends on your answer to my question. Can I love you in slow motion Joshua?” Candice whispered against my lips as I took her in a passionate kiss.
I couldn’t let this moment pass me by, I had to kiss her. Her moans begging me for more as I willed myself to pull away from her lips after a few minutes.
Our heavy breathing was the only sound that could be heard in the hall as we both were trying to catch our breaths.
“Hell yea, you can love me anyway yo ass want singing to me like that,” I growled against her lips as she giggled.  
“I really meant it though, I do like you,” she said wiping her lip gloss off of my lips as I smiled at her.
“Well, since we both have established the fact that we both like each other.  Will you be my lady?” I asked, taking her hand in mine. “It’s no pressure, we can take things slow, I just want you to be my lady,” I said honestly laying it all out on the table.
Candice’s POV
“I would love to be your lady Joshua,” I said winking at him as I saw him sigh in relief.
“Thank God…You know I like it when you do that right,” he whispered gently kissing me as I moaned in pleasure. “You like what?” I asked running my fingers through his hair. “When you call me by my real name,” he said smiling at me as I felt my knees become weak.
 “Well, then I guess I will be saying it more often Joshua,” I said stealing another kiss before we went back to join Trin and Jimmy.  
Yep, Candice was back and ready to start living again.

Unwanted - Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Summary: Losing her friends at a house party she goes in search of them only to bump into Andy from the basketball team who gets a little too handsy.
Word Count: 1946
Warnings: Unwanted sexual advances, forced kisses, forced touching, sexual assault
This was not how she'd planned for the night to go. It was only meant to be a couple of people around Steve's house for a drink but when she'd turned up it was as if the whole senior year of school was there despite him already graduating. For the most part, she'd managed to keep to herself, standing on the side lines with Robin and Vickie, nursing the same drink she'd had for the last hour. Somewhere after that though she'd managed to lose the two of them in the mansion that was Steve's house.
She'd gone looking for them or anyone she knew really, especially knowing what some of the jocks could be like when they found a girl alone. She really wished Eddie had come with her because he would have stayed by her side all night but he'd already had a gig booked for the night with his band so that meant he was unavailable.
Still searching as she rounded a corner, she came face to face with none other than Andy from the basketball team who smiled menacingly the moment he saw her, "Now what would a pretty thing like you be doing here all by yourself?" 
"I'm not" she stated, doing her best to try and squeeze past him but he stepped to the side and blocked her path, chuckling lowly.
"I don't think I've seen your freak boyfriend here tonight, has he finally had enough of you?" he mocked, interrupting her protests by gripping her arm tight and pushing her up against the wall, "Shall I show you what it's like to be with a real man?" he asked, chuckling at the way she squirmed as she tried to break free of his hold. Realising that he was too strong for her, she started to shout for help but Andy clasped his hand over her mouth, "No need for that sweetheart, besides the music's too loud for anyone to hear anyway" he scolded with a shake of his head.
Her eyes started to fill with tears as he stared down at her, the one hand that he placed over her mouth to stop her from yelling out was removed and began to explore her body as the other one continued to hold her in place she pleaded with him to stop. He took no notice, instead opting to push his luck and try and push the hem of her skirt up her legs but her free hand was quick to slap his hands away. Although he didn't take kindly to that, "You little bitch!" he spat, reaching for her hands and pinning them to the wall above her head as the tears began to flow freely now as she realised that she'd have no chance to escape unless someone she knew came to her rescue.
Before she could even process what was happening, Andy had his body pressed against hers and with her hands still held above her head and was kissing her or trying to as she kept trying to turn her face from him. Being this close to him she could smell the alcohol on his breath but that didn't excuse his actions so as one last attempt to free herself from him she brought her leg up, kneeing him hard between the legs. His whole body crumpled forward as his hold on her slipped as she dashed away from him but even in his drunken state, he was still too quick for her as he grabbed hold of her wrist as she tried to flee.
"No no no please let go" she babbled, still trying to fight him just as Steve rounded the corner, easily noticing her tears and the way her clothes were all ruffled and it didn't take him long to put together what was just occurring moments before,
"What the fuck is going on here?" His voice was enough for Andy to let go of her and she collapsed against Steve's chest, tears of relief mixed in with those already flowing as he wrapped a protective arm around her.
"The little slut was asking for it" Andy spat, though there wasn't as much bite to his words and she didn't know if it was because Steve was there or if it was because he was in pain, she hoped it was the latter.
"I'd watch you're mouth if I was you because if I don’t beat the crap out of you, Eddie sure as hell will" Steve threatened, watching as Andy stood up to his full height, looking as if he was getting ready for a fight until Steve spoke again, "Now get the fuck out of my house"
Cautiously Steve led her into one of the empty rooms, asking for someone to grab Robin for him. He sat down on the bed, pulling her to sit at the side of him as he wrapped an arm loosely around her shoulders so that she could pull away if she didn't want it because god knows she'd had enough unwanted touch tonight.
"Shit what's going on, is she alright?" Robin's voice flowed into the room, frantic but then softening as she knelt on the floor in front of her as she was still huddled up against Steve's side.
"Long story, what time is it?" Steve brushed her questions away; he'd tell her later because they had more important things to worry about right now like making sure she was okay and somehow managing to get a hold of Eddie who was now hopefully at home.
"A little after twelve, do we need to call someone to take her home?" Robin asked Steve though it was her that answered as she pulled away from him even if it was only momentary before she melted back into the familiar comfort he brought, comfort that was only second to the comfort that she needed right now from Eddie.
"No not home, Eddie please, he should be home now and I-I need to tell him that I didn't want it, he has to know" she pleaded eyes wide as she looked up at Steve, the guilt beginning to eat away at her that someone else other than her boyfriend had kissed her and touched her despite it not being her choice for it to happen.
Steve nodded, urging Robin with a nod of his head to do as she asked. Robin left the room quickly, Vickie following in her wake and leaving her alone with Steve once again. “You know this is not your fault, Andy’s a prick and nothing ever gave him the right to do that to you” he says, doing his best to try to comfort her. He had seen the panic in her eyes when she had asked for Eddie, he could only imagine how her mind would be spiralling as to how Eddie would react but little did he know that the only thought running through her mind was that she had cheated on him. She had been kissed by someone else and she was afraid that Eddie would be mad at her and break up with her which is why she wanted him, wanted to tell him what had happened and hoped that he believed her.
When she voiced these fears to Steve, his heart broke at how broken she sounded. “Hey, hey now listen to me, yes Eddie is going to be mad but I can guarantee that he will not be mad at you okay?” Steve states, hating how she still thinks that all because of that drunken dickhead, “And there is no way he’ll break up with you because you have done nothing wrong” he adds because it’s true and because he knows she needs to hear it. She nods at him, her eyes still glassy as she huddles into his side again and he prays that Eddie’s here soon.
Luckily for them both of them Eddie turns up ten minutes later. His voice can be heard through the now quiet house as after Robin called Eddie; she, Vickie, Nancy and Jonathan had gone around kicking people out. “Sweetheart” Eddie’s voice was soft as he entered the room, his arms open wide and she jumped up from where she was sitting with Steve and practically launched herself at him.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, he forced himself on me, please don’t leave me” she babbled, a new wave of tears spilling from her eyes as she pressed her face into his chest, melting into him as the familiar sound of his heartbeat relaxed her.
“I know sweet girl, I know you wouldn’t do that” he coos, his hands rubbing up and down her back in an attempt to soothe her and it seemed to be working as her body grew less tense in his hold and she relaxed completely when he spoke again. “And I’m not going anywhere sweetheart, you should know that you ain’t getting rid of me that easy”
She lets out a watery chuckle at his words that gets cut off by a yawn that she tries to stifle but of course Eddie notices. “Let’s get you home to bed, huh sweetheart?” Eddie smiles, still keeping his voice soft even though the anger is swirling inside of him, his first thought after he’d been told what had happened was to find Andy and kill him for touching his girl but then he seemed to come to his senses as he realised that she needed him more.
“I’ll walk you out” Steve says, hoping to talk to Eddie but still being wary about her presence as he didn’t want to upset her even more. It seemed he got his chance after Eddie helped her into the passenger seat of his van, clicking the seat belt in place he notices her eyes drooping closed as she is pulled down into the depths of sleep. Steve waits until Eddie has the door closed before he voices his concerns that he had to her earlier while they were waiting for Eddie.
“I know this probably isn’t the time but we need to report this to Hopper, Andy can’t be allowed to get away with this” Steve urges, hoping that Eddie would agree and somehow help bring her around to the idea as she’d been dead set against it earlier.
“Oh trust me there is no way I’m going to let this lie,” Eddie told him, his eyes darkening with his thoughts for a second before he remembers that Steve is still there. “I don’t think the law will help though, Andys’ dad’s a rich bastard nothing’ll happen trust me” he shook his head dishearteningly.
“You’re forgetting though that you’ve got me as a witness, and as much as me and my father don’t get on he does have some pull over these type of things” Steve sighed as Eddie raised a brow in question, hope blossoming in his chest over Steve’s willingness to help her and he feels his resolve lessening.
“Okay, I’ll talk to her but not tonight, tonight she needs to sleep” he replies, giving in and bidding Steve goodnight before he jogs around to the drivers side and climbs in, closing the door quietly so as not to disturb her. She stirs anyway seemingly sensing his presence and she smiles sleepily over at him, “I love you sweetheart” he smiles back, a hand gently coming up to her face to push her hair from her face as she mumbles an ‘I love you’ back to him before her eyes are closing again and then he’s driving back to the trailer to take care of his girl.

Light it up
Based on the song Light it up - by Luke Bryan
Dbf Joel x Fem reader
Tumblr media
Joel Miller x reader 18+ only !!
Summary - No outbreak AU!! I’ve read so many dad’s best friend Joel fics where he ends things, either permanently or temporarily. But what if the reader freaks out, worrying about her dad, worrying about never being able to openly love him and ends it. So this idea came to mind about Joel regretting saying something that leads to her ending things, then sitting by his phone, frantically pulling it out everytime it buzzes. Praying it’s her, telling him she misses him back, he basically becomes a mess.
Warnings! - no use of Y/N in this one, Angst with a happy ending, Joel being shit with feelings, reader also being terrible with feelings, sadness, breakups, hurt, eventual comfort, love confessions, smut, p in v, unprotected sex, smut with feelings, illusions to smut, reader described as female, huge age gap, sneaking around, readers 25 Joel is 45, jealousy, readers dads a softie, my terrible writing, Reader is a mechanic but she’s still feminine. The end is kinda sappy I’m sorry!
Word count - 5.5K (another long one sorry!)
Based on the song by Luke Bryan-
Light it up.
“I get so neurotic about it baby
‘Cause I know you’re reading your phone
I can’t help from going crazy
Thinking that you might not be all alone
I wake up, I check it, I shower and I check it
I feel the buzz in my truck
And I almost wreck it
I always got it on me
Just in case you want me
So, if you’re looking for my love
Then light it up”
It was a Friday night, you’re comfortably cuddled up in Joel’s arms, his hand mindlessly tracing patterns up and down your arm. You’re both sweaty, naked and catching your breath after an evening of amazing sex. Joel presses a soft kiss to your forehead, and you close your eyes humming in content.
“Any plans this weekend? Other than being in this bed with me?” Joel asks smirking, breaking the comfortably silence. “Yeah I have a night out with the girls tomorrow, it’s Maddie’s twenty fifth birthday. So we are going to that new club to celebrate” you reply. Joel noticeably stiffens, catching your attention, you turn your chin to look up at him, “You okay?” You ask.
“Yeah I just worry when you’re out drinking, it’s not always safe, drinks get spiked and guys get handsy all the while you’re too drunk to handle yourself” he affirms. You frown, crease lines visible to him and he sighs sitting up. “I’m not saying I don’t trust you darlin’ I just know how things can get” he continues.
“Ok well come with me then, Maddie’s boyfriend is coming, and Kelly’s fiancé, so you wouldn’t be the only guy” you answered.
“You know I can’t sweetheart, we can’t be seen out together like that, people will talk and it will get back to your dad, this only works because it’s private between us” Joel replies regretting it the second he says it, because your face is already twisting, frown becoming deeper.
Then all of a sudden you get up and start searching for your clothes, pulling them on quickly, “Darlin’ hey don’t go, I didn’t mean it like that, I don’t want you to leave” he begs, walking over and trying to wrap his arms around you, pushing him back gently he looks at you like a scolded puppy, “No Joel you’re right, we can’t be seen together, we can’t act like a couple! Hell we aren’t even a real couple are we?” You snapped. “Now I never said that darlin’ look calm down, we can talk this through” Joel begged.
“It’s true though Joel, we should have never started this, I feel like the worst person every time I leave the house, sprouting some lie to my dad, he doesn’t deserve that, he doesn’t deserve this! Us sneaking about, he’s been your best friend for over a decade Joel! And I’m 20 years younger than you! What were we thinking? I don’t know what we were thinking” you go off on this tangent and Joel’s heart is breaking, he can almost feel it shatter, pain radiating through his chest. He clutches it with one hand, in an absolute panic his other still reaching for you.
“Come on sweetheart you don’t mean that, we will figure something out, just don’t go” Joel pleads. “I can’t I need to go I need to sort my head out, this” you motion between you both, “This shouldn’t have happened” you whisper, tears now escaping your eyes. “Baby please” Joel attempts to convince you one last time, before you grab your bag running down the stairs and out the front door.
Racing down the street as fast as you can to where you stashed your car, you jump in starting it quickly, throwing it into drive and racing out of the street. All the while Joel’s dropped to his bedroom floor, sobs wrecking through his body, ‘what has he done’ he thinks to himself, he loves you he realises right then, he’s in love with you and he never got to tell you.
Your not much better you walk into your house tears streaming down your face, the front door opening startles your dad. When he notices your state he approaches you carefully “What’s wrong Princess?” He asks. “Had a fight with a friend I just need some sleep” you state, wanting nothing more than to curl up under your covers, and let out all these emotions. “Alright kiddo, I’m here if you need anything” he replies voice sounding concerned. You nod bounding up the stairs and closing your door, you strip off into something more comfortable, your clothes smell of Joel and you can’t stand that right now, before falling into bed.
You dads stood at the bottom of the stairs still concerned and confused, he could hear your soft sobs from down here. You weren’t this upset the time you fell out with Maddie, this wasn’t some argument with a friend, It felt deeper than that. There has been something you’ve been keeping from him for a while now, sneaking out, small lies. But you’d seemed happier than he’s seen you in a long time, and so he left it be, now though he wasn’t too sure he’d made the right call.
————————————————————————
Joel hadn’t slept a wink, 6am and he was still churned up, eyes swollen from hours of crying. Rolling over he checks his phone ‘nothing’ no messages no missed calls. He sends you a text “Hey darlin, please call me we can fix this xx”
Then he pulls himself up with a groan heading for a shower, Sarah will be over in a couple of hours for her weekly breakfast daddy/ daughter date. Even now she’s in college in the city, she still comes home every Saturday morning for breakfast. It’s always a rush to get you up and out of his bed before she arrives, frantic kisses and giggles as he gets you out the door. It’s all “I’ll see you later baby” “Have a good day at work” “I’ll miss ya, but you have to go before she gets here”. Right now he wouldn’t care if she found you in his bed, that would be better than this.
Sighing he gets under the hot stream of water, washing his body off and hoping it washes away the puffy eyes and dark marks left from no sleep. Once he’s ready for the day he checks his phone again, still nothing he opens up his messages to you, and you’ve read his message this morning, but not responded. He feels his chest constrict, you’ve ignored him, is this really over? It can’t be he won’t let it be. So he messages you again “I miss you, please message me back xx”
He makes his way downstairs preparing breakfast for Sarah, mixing pancake batter in a bowl and cutting fresh fruit. He hopes seeing Sarah will take his mind off things for a little while.
The next street over you were getting ready for work, running late after sleeping in. It had taken you hours to fall asleep, eventually exhaustion had taken over and you’d dozed off. You checked your phone when you woke up reading Joel’s message, you needed to be strong though, you reminded yourself why you’re doing this. The reasoning behind the break up, this wasn’t fair on anyone, it couldn’t be fixed, so you ignored him. Turned off your phone and got ready for work, you have an early finish ready for your girls night out, you needed this night out.
Jumping in your car you shove your phone in the glove box, you’d worry about everything later, right now you needed to clear your mind. You arrive at work in record time leaving you two minutes to spare, your boss ‘Trev’ walks over wiping the grease off his hands, “Cutting it fine today kiddo” he playfully scalds, “Yeah sorry Trev, I had a bad night sleep, slept through my alarm” you apologise. He takes a step closer evaluating your face, your eyes were slightly puffy, voice slightly hoarse “You ok kid? You know we’re a family here? You can talk to me” he asks “Yeah I’m fine honest” you give a tight lipped smile.
“Ok well you’ve got two service's today and an exhaust change. Then your free to go party with your girls” he laughs doing a little jig as he talks. You huff a laugh, he’s a good guy Trev, 56 years old and known your dad his whole life, after you finished auto mechanics in collage, he’d given you an apprenticeship at his shop. Helping you become the mechanic you are today, it had always been what you’d wanted to do, hoping one day you’ll open your own restoration shop. But Trev was a good friend of your dads and he was glad to have you, his wife Hanna ran the reception and the books. Together they had taken you under their wing, and you were very grateful to them. Their son Calvin also worked as a mechanic at the shop, he was a few years older than you, but you’d known him in school. He was a nice guy too, the whole family were good people.
“You got it Trev, I’ll make a start then” you reply, making your way into the shop. You got through your work quickly, finishing by 3pm. Once home you showered scrubbing off the muck and grease from the day, before starting to get ready for your night out. Choosing a black dress which hit just above the knees, nude tights and a pair of small heeled black irregular choice shoes, they were your favourite, little cut out hearts and red roses up the sides.
The gave yourself some smokey eyes, red lips and curled your hair into soft waves. Spraying a large amount of your perfume on you gave yourself a once over, I don’t look half bad you thought all things considering. Checking your alarm clock it was 6pm maddie would be by any moment, her boyfriend driving so you girls can drink. You grab your clutch bag and head downstairs. “You look nice Princess, you looking forward to your night out?” Your dad asks.
“Yes! Lord knows I need it dad, it’s been quite the week” you admit. A horn beeps outside “That’s my ride dad, don’t wait up ok?” “Alright be safe kiddo” he calls out as you walk out the door.
You throw yourself at Maddie squeezing her in a huge hug, “Happy birthday babe” you laughed. “Thanks! You excited?” She replies. “Yeah it should be good! I need a good drink that’s for sure!” You stressed. “Oh no! Tell me everything!” Maddie urged. “I will don’t worry” you reply. Checking your clutch you realise you’ve left your phone in your glove box, where it’s been sat all day. “Oh shit! I’ve left my phone in my car! One second” you gasp running to your car quickly fishing out your phone, and shoving it in your bag. Jogging back you leap into Maddie and Shane’s car, you were so ready for this night!
————————————————————————
Meanwhile Joel was going out of his mind, he’d sent you four messages today. One you’d read the other three you hadn’t even opened. He stared at his phone, your conversation stream up ….
“Hey darlin, please call me we can fix this xx” ~ read
“I miss you, please message me back xx” ~Delivered
“It’s 2pm sweetheart and I haven’t heard from you, can you just let me know your ok? Please darlin xx” ~Delivered
“Have a nice time out tonight darlin, maybe we can talk tomorrow? I can come get you, take you out for lunch?xx” ~Delivered
Why haven’t you read them, let alone reply, it was driving him crazy. Maybe he just needed to give you some space until tomorrow, hopefully by then you’d calmed down, and you could talk about this. He sits down on the sofa placing his head in his hands, this was killing him. He needed to tell you how he feels, tell you he loves you and you two can work through this. ‘What a mess’ he groans.
————————————————————————
You were already on your third drink, knocking them back like they were water. “Woah girl! Slow down, we have all night. Come on tell me what’s happened?” Maddie asks her voice raising a few octaves over the loud music. “Come on Mads it’s your big night, let’s not talk about this today, what did Shane get you for your birthday?” You ask trying to change the topic. “No no don’t change the subject on me babe, I’m your best friend that won’t work, spill!” She demands. “Joel and I broke up” you muttered, you tried to sound unbothered but deep down you knew you were bottling it up, pushing it down, trying to not deal with it. Maddie gasps “What! My god, I really thought you two would make it” she admits. “Yeah well reality of the situation hit, and I realised it couldn’t work, we are lying to my dad. I mean Joel’s his best friend Mads, this whole thing was wrong” you explain. Maddie was the only person you’d told about Joel, you knew you could trust her to keep it to herself, and you needed someone to tell. You needed someone to know so Joel didn’t feel like a dirty little secret.
“I just can’t believe it, you’ve been together over six months at this point hunni, I thought you’d tell your dad and be settled down within the next year” Maddie claimed. “Really!” You gasp ‘tell your dad?? Is her head screwed on’ you think.
“Well yeah you clearly love him, and your dad is a good guy, I think he’d grow to respect your choice. He knows Joel’s a great guy” Maggie shrugs. Your left astounded, you open your mouth to speak but nothing comes out, ‘Love him?’ Do you love him? Yeah you do, but this can’t happen any longer, your dad wouldn’t just be ok with this. Joel has been in your life since you were 14, he’d watched you with Sarah when your dad had to run into work. His own daughter was only five years younger than you!
“I need another drink, you want another?” You ask Maddie. She gives an exasperated sigh “No I’m good” she replies holding up her half full drink, you nod and make your way over to the bar.
Whilst waiting at the bar a guy scoots in next to you, sparing glances in your direction. “Can I buy you that drink?” He asks, you look up at him and he’s not bad looking, dark blonde hair and blue eyes. But you find fault in the fact it’s not the big brown puppy dog eyes your used too, he doesn’t have all that patchy scruff you like to run your rands through, in short he’s not Joel. “No thanks” you reply, looking forward again, “Suit yourself” the guy says before walking off, you find yourself relieved he does, he doesn’t push it and your grateful of that. Walking back to your table drink in hand Kelly pulls you along to the dance floor “Come on dance with me!!” She pleads “Ok ok” you laugh, finally letting loose and having some fun.
Joel startles awake from a knock at the front door, when had he fallen asleep? He checks his phone again ‘no notifications’ he exhales 9:30pm, who would be at his door this late. Getting up he opens the door to find your dad standing on his porch “Hey Ray, what you doing here at this time?” Joel mumbles, voice laced with sleep. “Sorry Joel, did I wake you? My kitchen extraction fan is making an awful noise, I can’t sleep with it squeaking like that, and my screwdriver head is too big, I thought you may have one that fits?” You dad explains. “Yeah I’ll grab my tool box, n’ I’ll come over and fix it I ain’t got nothin else to do” Joel replies.
Back at your house Joel has the extraction fan in bits, as your dad hands him a beer, “Thanks for this man, you didn’t have to come though I could have fixed it” you dad mused. Joel raises his eyebrows giving your dad the ‘really’ look. “Yeah yeah alright, maybe not” he laughs. “How’s Sarah doing at college?” “Yeah good, she came for breakfast this morning, she’s excited about a project she has coming up. It’s good to see her so passionate.” Joel gushed, he always lights up when talking about his daughter, Sarah is his world. “She’s all grown up, you must be super proud of her man” you dad replies sipping on his beer. “Yeah I still have a hard time accepting that she’s 20 now, grown up, moved out and living on her own two feet!” Joel replies.
“Well maybe it’s time you move on with your life huh, maybe start dating? There’s some nice single women in our neighbourhood.” You dad asks, genuinely looking out for his friend. “Not interested, trust me I have enough goin’ on in my life, Tommy is still a full time job on his own, and the companies busy, lots of contracts comin’ in and I have Sarah.” Joel admits “Plus maybe you should take your own advice and find someone, your not getting any younger” Joel’s jests laughing at your dads unimpressed face. “Hey your only six years younger than me! If I’m old your old too!” Your dad smirks. Joel then holds his hands up in mock surrender, before placing the cover back onto the extractor fan. “There all fixed, no more squeaking” Joel confirms. “Thanks man, I owe you one”.
On the way home Joel’s phone buzzes in his pocket, he almost wrecks his truck swerving to the side while frantically trying to get the device out of his pants. Only to be bitterly disappointed, it was from Tommy.
“Hey big bro, I need to call in tomorrow and grab a pair of your hiking boots, I have a date! :)”
“Jesus” Joel groans, he’s loosing it big time.
————————————————————————
You wake up late morning a little hungover but not feeling too bad, nothing got too crazy last night and after drink number 4 Maddie cut you off. She claimed it was her birthday and she wanted everyone conscious to enjoy the dancing. It was the right move, as your emotions were too all over the place and you may have done something stupid.
You turn on your phone for the first time in 24 hours, when suddenly all the notifications start pinging through. Four messages from Joel, you open the chat up and read the first few. Tears well up in your eyes, you miss him too so much, this is the longest you’d gone without talking to him in six months.
Your pulled away from the messages by a loud banging at your door, you pad your way down the stairs opening the door, confused as it was Calvin “Thank god your your in! I’ve messed up big time, the Chevy truck we had in is being picked up first thing tomorrow and I’ve cut through the cam belt, which has lead to the water pump breaking and I can’t get it done by myself! And I can’t tell dad he will kill me. He told me to be careful like 8 times and I brushed him off” Calvin babbles out so fast you struggled to keep up.
“Woah ok ok, come in” you close the door behind him. “Give me five minutes to get decent and I’ll come help, the kitchen is through there” you point “Make us coffee we are gonna need it” you reply. You quickly throw some scruffy clothes on that you usually decorate or dye your hair in, as your work overalls are in the wash. Then bound down the stairs, Calvin is ready with two cups of coffee in your reusable take out mugs. “Perfect, come on let go fix this” you propose. “Thank you so much for this! I owe you big time!” Calvin replies. “It’s no bother I didn’t have anything else planned for today” you write your dad a quick note explaining what has happened and where you’ll be, before walking out your door and locking up. “We can go in my car I’ll drop you back after?” Calvin asks. “Sure” you reply.
Little did you know Joel was watching from afar, his heart breaking all over again. Thinking the guy had stayed over after your night out, he couldn’t believe it, how could you move on so fast? Here he was completely in love with you, and you were already sleeping with another guy. He checks his phone again, still no messages from you, but you’d read all his still ignoring him. This was it he’d lost you, all because he couldn’t just man up and tell the people who cared about you both that you were together.
————————————————————————
You had helped Calvin fix the car in record time, you serviced it too, making sure it was good to go tomorrow. “Please be careful from now on Cal, I don’t like to hide things from your dad, he’s been good to me.” You explain. “No I’ll tell him, now it’s fixed and he won’t panic, he will be calmer. I won’t hide it from him.” He responds. “Thank you Cal, I appreciate that”. Checking your phone it was 5pm, you had no new messages from Joel, but you read his last one, he was going to come get you for lunch? You weren’t even there, we must be worried sick by now, you haven’t replied once. The weekend has just kinda swept away from you. “Hey Cal can you drop me off at another address please? I need to pop in on a friend” you ask. “Yeah of course” Calvin replies.
Pulling up outside Joel’s you thank Calvin before exiting his car and waving him off, taking a deep breath you knock on the door. After a few moments you hear footsteps approaching, the door opens and a very tired looking Joel is standing there, gosh he looks awful, puffy eyes, dark bags under his eyes and his curls messy, sticking up in every direction. “Hi Joel” you speak, but it comes out as more of a sob. Your eyes start leaking, you don’t think you’ve ever seen him look so sad, and it’s your fault. “Hey, shouldn’t you be with your new boyfriend? Or was it a one night thing” he sneers. “Joel what are you talking about?” You ask genuinely confused as to why he thinks this.
“Don’t lie to me!” he snaps, voice raised.
You recoil slightly, he had never shouted at you before, he’s obviously upset and you don’t understand at all.
“Joel I really don’t know what your going on about.” You reply bottom lip quivering, all you want to do is hold him right now.
“I saw you today, about 11:30am, leaving your house with some guy, coffee in your hands so he obviously stayed over, I’m guessing you really did have fun last night huh” he scoffed.
You visibly relax, realising his mistake. He’d seen Calvin this morning. “Ok Joel I need you to listen to me, I have not slept with anyone else. That guy this morning was Calvin as in my bosses son Calvin” you explain, Joel frowns now he’s the confused one.
“He came over just 10 minutes before we left, he’d fucked up with a truck at work, managed to slice the cambelt and break the water pump, the owner is coming for it first thing tomorrow and he was panicking asking for my help. I told him to make coffee while I went and changed, I couldn’t wear my overalls as they are in the wash ready for Tuesday. Look at my top Joel I'm covered in motor oil, I was just helping a friend.” He examines you seeing you are right, you’re covered in oil and grease, black stains all over your sweats and T-shirt. Even a smear down your left cheek, he cups it trying to gently rub the mark away. You lean into his touch “I’ve missed you” he whispers “I’ve missed you too Joel, so much” he forces you into his arms then, and closes his front door. Cupping your face he pulls you in for a deep kiss conveying all his feelings into it, only breaking apart when the need for oxygen becomes too much.
“I love you sweetheart” Joel confesses, your eyes snap to his in shock, but all you see is complete sincerity. “I love you too” you whisper, a large grin appears on his face and his lips meet yours once more, this time it’s more passionate, tongue meeting yours it’s hungry and all consuming. His hand grabs your hip, pulling you flush against him before sliding down to grab your thighs “jump” he instructs, and you do. Joel carries you up to his bedroom, lips never leaving yours until he throws you onto his bed.
“Joel my clothes are filthy!” You whine.
“You won’t be in them long” he teased.
He pulls you to the end of the bed by your legs, then proceeds to pull your sweatpants and underwear off in one swoop. You sit up and pull your T-shirt over your head and impatiently pull at his, signalling for him to do the same. Joel smirks at you “Someone’s eager” he laughs “I’ve missed you” you state, he notices the sad look that briefly crosses your face. “Hey baby girl look at me, I’m here, I’m not going nowhere. We are in this together now, and I’m not giving you up, Not ever” Joel conveyed.
Relief floods your body and you pull him down on top of you, mouth finding his again. Using your feet you push his sweatpants down and off, lifting your hips you grind against him, smearing your wetness against his hard cock. “Need you Joel” you whimper, “Ok darlin” he begins kissing you down your jaw gently sucking on your pulse point. One of his hands moves down your stomach to your folds, gathering your slick and rubbing your clit, you throw your head back letting out a loud moan. It felt so good to finally have him back like this but you needed more, “Joel I need you inside me now please” you whine “Ok I got you” he breathed, removing his hand from you he takes himself and lines up with your entrance, before pushing in lips finding yours once more.
Giving you a minute to adjust he takes your hand lacing his fingers with yours, resting them beside your head, you give your hips a roll signalling for him to move. Joel starts thrusting slow and deep “Fuck you feel so good baby girl” he groans, hiding his face in the crook of your neck, leaving sloppy kisses in his wake. He Takes in your scent, how soft your skin feels and ingrains it into his memory. He never wants to miss this again, never wants to be apart from you again. He brings his brown eyes to meet yours, they are so full of love and devotion, sweat starts beading on his forehead and his hips begin to pick up speed. “Tell me again sweetheart please” he begs, and you know exactly what he needs to hear “I love you Joel, fuck I love you soo much” you confess, “Shit I love you baby” he moans.
“I’m so close” you whine, Joel brings his thumb to your clit and starts rubbing tight circles, “Let go for me darlin’, fuck come for me baby I’m right behind you” Joel groans. Your pussy clenches the familiar feeling coursing through you, blinding hot pleasure as you come. You arch your back, throwing your head back as you chant his name over and over, “Shit” he whimpers stilling above you, cock pulsing as he empties himself deep inside you.
He rests his forehead against yours while you both come down from your highs. Stroking your hair away from your sweaty forehead, you whimper when he pulls out, already missing the contact “I know baby I know, let’s get you cleaned up yeah?”, you nod half dazed.
Later, while snuggled up in bed together Joel shifts his weight onto his side facing you. “We need to tell him sweetheart, your dad, we need to tell him, and damn the consequences” he sighed, running his thumb gently down the swell of your cheek.
“Yeah I know, I’ve been thinking that too, tomorrow?” You ask. “Yeah ok baby girl, tomorrow it is” Joel kissed the crown of your head pulling you into his chest, ‘I damn hope this goes ok’ he ponders, but he can’t imagine that it will.
————————————————————————
Your currently sat outside your house in the passenger seat of Joel’s truck, your nerves are shot, leg bouncing up and down. Joel bless him is watching you not knowing what to say, taking your hand off your bouncing knee he places a kiss to the palm. “We have to go in at some point darlin’, we’ve been sat here fifteen minutes. He is going to notice my truck soon” Joel reasoned.
“Yeah yeah, I know I just can’t bring myself to move” you begin biting your nails now, Joel pulls your hand away from the assault with a sigh, before opening his door and leaving the truck. Ten seconds later your door opens “Come on baby let’s go” he motions, generally coaxing you out of the truck. “Fine but if he throws me out, I’ll have nowhere to go but yours Joel, you’ll be stuck with me forever” you quip, “Sweetheart I’d love nothing more” he confesses. “Your gaze hastily finds his “Really?” You breathe, “Really, come on” he pulls you to the front door and pushes it open.
Your dad looks up from the paper he was reading “Hey kiddo, how did the disaster at the shop go? You fix the truck in time?” He trails off before noticing Joel “Joel? Hey what are you doin’ here buddy? Did I forget something? We have plans?” Your dad asks confused. “Hey Ray, no you didn’t forget anything, we actually have something we need to tell you” Joel relays his voice careful. Your dad frowns, clearly noticing some tension here and Joel’s nervous tone.
“Dad, Joel and I are dating, it’s been just over six months. And and” you stammer “It’s something we couldn’t keep from you anymore” you continue, watching your dads face waiting for some reaction. He turns to Joel “You’re dating my daughter?” He asks his voice assertive, he sounded pissed and your heart starts pounding. “Yeah I am” Joel confirms “But this isn’t us just messing around, I’m in love with her Ray, I love your daughter very much, and I can only imagine how much you want to hit me right now, but I can promise you I will always treat her right, however I can not, will not stay away from her Ray I just can’t. She’s become everything to me and I can’t live without her now” Joel expressed.
Finally your dad looks at you,
“You’re happy?” He asks “Yeah dad, Joel makes me very happy, and it’s true I love him too” you reply.
“Ok” he sighs
“Ok!??” You and Joel both repeat at the same time, absolutely astounded.
“Well your both adults, I can’t exactly stop you, and I don’t want to loose my daughter. I can’t say I understand this, but I know your a good man Joel, I know if you say you love my daughter your being honest. But if you ever hurt her, I will shoot you”
“Understood” Joel responds
“Ok then, well as we all have the afternoon off I suggest we order some takeout and watch the game, Joel grab some beers from the garage will ya” your dad asks. “Sure” Joel agrees, disappearing down the hall.
Your dad then pulls you into a hug, taking you by surprise. He wraps his arms around you securely “Your definitely happy yeah?” “Yeah dad I’m very happy” you reply hugging him just that bit tighter “Good” he nods.
Yeah you think to yourself, everything’s going to be ok.

HEY, IT'S A FREAKING ENORMOUS SMILE FOR ME FANCOMIC!! there is a very real chance that if you're new from twitter following me here, you followed me for this!! I don't blame you!! I'm real dang proud of this and it was a true labor of love!!! I have more like this I would like to draw soon, too...
(full transcript slash detailed image descriptions under the cut!)
PAGE 1 The comic title, COOKING, is written at the top of the page in big handwritten bubble-letters colored in pale peach.
Panel one shows Kamal, wearing a brown-and-red striped turtleneck sweater, standing next to Habit, wearing a fluffy teal-blue sweater over a pink button-up and blue jeans. Kamal is lightly grimacing, looking mildly embarrassed and rubbing his right arm with his left hand, while Habit stands with his hands on his hips and a big grin. Kamal: So, um, something that we only realized after we started living together... ...turns out neither of us can cook. Like. At all. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): I can make "spaghetti" (smiley face) Kamal: Yeah that barely counts. (in smaller text) I guess I can't talk, though... I was living off Chinese takeout and hot dogs...
Panel two shows Habit on the left, smiling warmly and holding up Putunia with both hands, who is grinning and holding both fists in the air triumphantly. Kamal is on the bottom right of the panel, shrugging. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): But now we have "Putunia"!! Putunia (shouting): THAT'S ME!!! Kamal: So, uh, we had to figure out the whole "cooking" thing. 'Cause we're the adults here or whatever...?
The third panel is marked with a big handwritten caption of "SO THEY LEARNED TO COOK". Below that, Kamal, left, and Habit, right, are standing wearing frilly aprons - Kamal's yellow with pink-and-red trim and a heart on the chest; Habit's light green with dark green trim and flowers on the chest. Habit is also still holding Putunia in one arm, while the other hand gives a thumbs up. Putunia is smiling with her limbs dangling limply like a kitten. Kamal (in small font): How did you just... have these ready...?
PAGE 2 In the large top panel, Kamal, still wearing the apron, is smiling, wearing red oven mitts with yellow flowers, and holding a blue plate with freshly-cooked samosas that are emitting a cloud of steam. Kamal: I, um, actually ended up calling my mom for advice, and she's been teaching me all her old recipes? I didn't really appreciate her cooking growing up - you know, you're a dumb kid and you just want pizza 'cause all your friends are getting pizza... But now... I dunno, it makes me feel closer to her. Feels like I'm carryin' on something important. And there's something real nice about getting to share a family recipe with people I lo- CARE ABOUT.
The second panel shows Habit leaning in from the right, smiling slightly mischievously and clutching his hands near his face. Putunia is also bursting in from the bottom right, smiling and throwing her fists in the air. Kamal is visibly flustered, sweating and yelling, jostling the plate of samosas. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): I still need to meet your mom!! Kamal (yelling): I- I told you, I'm not ready for that yet!! (in smaller text) Ugh, she keeps bugging me about coming over to meet you two... Putunia (yelling): I WANNA MEET KAMAL-MOM!! KA-MOM!!!!!
PAGE 3 The large top panel shows Habit in his apron, smiling, holding up a wooden spoon in his left hand and a wooden fork in his left. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): I've been learning to do "new things" with my favorite foods!!! (smiley face) "Homemade sauce"!! "Black bean burger"!! "Crabo"- "Crabounara"- "Cbabao"- "Ca"- Fancy spaghetti.
The second panel shows him in the same pose and expression, but now pointing upwards with his left hand. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): Also!!! I
The next panel abruptly cuts to a nervous-looking shadow-Habit, with an equally-nervous looking Kamal (no longer wearing the apron) peeking in from the right side of hte frame. Habit: um
PAGE 4 The large top panel shows Habit smiling nervously, looking more subdued than normal, lightly scratching his chin with his right pointer finger. Kamal, smiling proudly, is hugging onto his left arm. Habit (with a normal speech pattern): I... so, for a long time, I didn't even want to look at food from... where I grew up. Too many bad associations for me, yes? But, now that I'm in a better place, I'm trying to reconnect in ways that feel safe for me. Food has been a nice way to do that. Lets me build new memories to replace bad ones. Kamal: Proud of ya, big guy
The next panel shows Habit back to his usual bubbly self, smiling, wearing the flower-patterned oven-mitts and holding up a plate with a Medovik cake (a type of Russian honey cake) topped with berries. IN the background, Kamal and Putunia both stare at the cake, Kamal visibly drooling, Putunia with stars in her eyes. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): The baking is "ESPECIALLY GOOD"!!! Today I made "Медови́к" ("Medovik" in Russian script)!!! Kamal (in small text): it looks so good... Putunia (in small text): CAKE!!!!!!
The final panel cuts to Kamal drawn from the chest-up, looking slightly sheepish and scratching his chin. Kamal: Um, so that's the other thing we've discovered through all this. It turns out, uh...
PAGE 5 The top panel shows Kamal (left), Putunia (center), and Habit (right) all sitting at a table with a yellow-and-red checkered tablecloth, eating the Medovik cake. Kamal, with a sheepish expression, is leaning forward with his elbows on the table, right arm resting down and left raising a fork to his mouth, with a plate with a slice of cake to his right. Putunia is pumping her right fist and raising the left, holding a fork with some cake on it, into the air triumphantly, shouting with delight. Habit is resting his head in his hands with both elbows on the table, looking delighted, a slice of cake and a fork to his left. The cake itself, with a cake-serving knife to the left side, is in the center of the table. Kamal: ...we... all have a giant sweet tooth... (in smaller text) Oh my god I feel like such a hypocrite... Putunia (in small text): YUMMY!!!!!! Habit (in small text; misspelled Habitspeak): Isn't it?? Isn't it??
The next two panels cut in close on Kamal and Habit, from roughly the chest-up, as they both eat. Kamal is chewing with a guilty expression, holding his fork near his chest, while Kamal is smiling and lifting a bite of cake to his mouth with a fork held delicately in his right hand. Kamal: How did this happen?? We are literally both dentists?? Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): "You" are. "I" don't have to worry about that anymore
The next panel shows Kamal grimacing, gesturing with his fork, while Habit chews with a smug grin. Kamal: Yeah, not how that works. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): Plus I brush my teeth 4 to 60 times per day so they are "perfect" Kamal: Also not how that works. (in smaller text) Please talk to your therapist about that I worry about you
The next panel cuts to Putunia, on the right, shoving her empty plate towards Kamal with a determined expression. Kamal stares back with one eyebrow raised. Putunia (shouting): I WANT MORE CAKE!!! Kamal: Uh huh. And what do we say about that? Putunia (shouting): MORE CAKE PLEASE??
The final panel shows Kamal, on the left, slicing into the cake, while Putunia to the right watches with a smile and her plate held up. Habit comes up behind her, also holding out his empty plate and watching with a smile. Habit (in misspelled Habitspeak): Kamal me too Kamal (smiley face) Kamal: Well, if you're both having seconds...
PAGE 6 The final page has a full-page panel illustration. Kamal, grimacing with his hands on his hips, is looking down at a messy sink full of dirty cooking implements. Behind him, Habit, scratching his chin, looks away sheepishly while Putunia to his right cheers, hands in the air. Kamal: Okay, now which of us is gonna be the adult who does the dishes Habit: not it Putunia (shouting): NOT IT!!! Kamal: oh my god

hello, if request still open, can you do the stardust crusaders team with reader who has a powerful stand but the opposite is, they have a poor health. reader is very stubborn and constantly overdoing their power resulting them to passed out
Stardust Crusaders with gn! Reader who's a powerful standuser, but have poor health and can pass out from overdoing their power
Warnings: gn! reader, sickness, fainting, poor health, medications (kinda forced), slight swearing
Notes: Kind of experimented with Jean Pierre on this one, so it may seem like some kind of drabble lol
Noriaki Kakyoin
Tumblr media
Listen, he respects your and your power, he finds it really useful
But for you overworking yourself?
He doesn't like it AT ALL
Yeah, sure, he can understand your feelings and motives, he wants to help the team as much as he can too
But not to such extent
Together with Avdol, he is trying to find a way for you to use your stand in a safer way
In battle, he often has to back you up with Hierophant Green
He tries to make sure you don't have to push yourself to the limit, but he doesn't always succeed
So when you pass out, he's most likely to pick you up and put you to rest
I don't know if he's a good in cooking, but he'll try to bring you everything you need after you passing out: water, food, etc.
Even though he will scold you for overworking yourself like that, he praises you for your strength and courage
Muhammad Avdol
Tumblr media
Much like Noriaki, he respects your power, but doesn't like when you treat yourself like this
As I listed above, he'll try to figure out more safer way of using your stand with Noriaki
Them brainstorming in figuring it out-
I don't think that he can back you up in battle, but he'll try to not let you overuse your stand for sure
Idk, I think he's quite a good cook, so he can make some food real quick so you can regain your strength
He tries to do it for the rest of the team too though (my headcanons time)
He's not like Kakyoin, he won't scold you, he'll tell you a whole lecture about safety and that you put yourself in danger by those actions
But he's doing it because he really cares about you
Also I think he'll try to understand why you are doing this more deeply. Is there a reason why you don't care about your own health? Is it deeper than it seems?
If you don't want to talk about it that's okay! But he'll try to help you out if you tell him your reasons
Jean Pierre Polnareff
Tumblr media
His first reaction to your stand was surprise, followed by interest
He wanted to learn more about your stand's abilities, so in battle, he also kept an eye on your actions
He was really impressed by not only your stands power, but also your courage and bravery. Your stand was just right for your fighting spirit!
But after some time he noticed that you were beginning to weaken. Sure, your stand gained power and speed, but it was visible that you were barely standing on your feet
When you ignored his cry that he could handle the enemy himself, he got kind of frustrated, but also concerned. What's gotten into you? Are you always like this?
Thankfully you passed out at the end of the fight, but Polnareff was still freaked out
Why'd you do that? If you just handled the situation to him you most likely wouldn't pass out
After that, he had to conduct a full-fledged interrogation with you, where he asked you all the questions that worried him
When he got the information he needed, he started to keep an eye on you, so when he sees you're close to passing out he'll just put you out of the fight or get the enemy away from you
Nah, he won't let you pass out bacause you're such a stubborn idiot/lh
Also when he found out that you have a bad health, he'll half-jokingly offer you a vacation at the French village where he comes from, it will definitely help you with your health condition
But seriously he'll offer you staying at his house so you can rest and get some fresh air
Jotaro Kujo
Tumblr media
You annoy him
Everyone annoys him tbh
But he is specifically annoyed by your tendency to overwork yourself
It kind of reminds him of his mother- she always works above her limits too
He's irritated every time you pass out when you're fighting a standuser. At this point he knows that fighting alongside you= him carrying you out in the end
At least you leave the enemy beated down enough for him to finish them
Deep down he's concerned about you, but this edgy teen won't let it show, nah, no way it'll happen
The maximum way this will manifest itself is dragging you to a safe place and throwing a flask of water in your face when you wake up
He's going to be so scowl about it, so DON'T EVEN THINK about teasing him about it
Joseph Joestar
Tumblr media
You also remind him of Holly
Despite acting jokingly and a little insensitive about you fainting, he's actually really concerned
Old man can't express his emotions properly, just say you're worried damn it 💀💀
If you need any medication, he will try to get it and make sure you take it
Otherwise he'll try to put it in your food (no ill intent, he sees it as the only way)
Sometime during the adventure you'll have kind of parent-child conversation
He'll try to make the atmosphere kinda chill and let you went about you overusing your stand and putting yourself in danger
He wants to know your reasons so he can give you some advices maybe
OKAY OKAY, I SUDDENLY HAVE AN IDEA HEAR ME OUT
Joseph trying to teach you hamon to treat your poor health-
Iggy
Tumblr media
He's kind of intimidated by your power, but obviously won't show it
Also won't show that he cares about you, just like for anyone on your team
"What an idiot..."
Proceeds to go apeshit on anyone who tries to hurt you when you're unconscious

DAY 4: JANUARY 17, 2024 (i um. was a little busy. oops.)
STATS: read for ~2 hrs pages read: 860-1052. 192 pgs. reached pg 1000! wooo!!! slur count: 6 + 2 = 8 (rose narration, john. both r slur) silly count: 10 + 1 = 11 (john about roses building) piss count: 1/3
THOUGHTS: today started with jade's freshjamz!!!!!!!!! I LOVE!!! i mean dave kind of sucks at making music but jade doesnt! i love how homestuck shows the works of the characters. jades music daves blogs caliborns deviantart whatever. it makes them feel so REAL.
figured out the time differences! if we're staying at johns timezone, dave is 2 hrs ahead and rose is 3 hrs ahead. and jade is 4 hrs ahead!!!! when we were dave pov a convo with jade was at 6:30pm but at jade pov it was 12:30pm so you know.
the exiles are FINALLY MEETING UP!!!! PM!!!!!!!!! i looove pm shes what makes me want to be a mailman. what the hell are the snake worm things in pm's like structure? whats it called? with the terminal. theyre awful silly but theyre kind of freaky and i dont know what they are.
john faq i always read the faqs theyre so fun. john try not to mention your friends by irl name on public forum challenge (even if he assumes everyone else is dead lol). i do NOT understand alchemizing mostly cus i dont get binary. but whatever. maybe i will someday
KARKAT VANTAS! i think the first mentions of the trolls are here! yaaay!
dave strife theyre still strifing i didnt get to the end yet. s beatdown or whatever. always interesting to me that dave never gets sliced or anythign even though theyre fighting with ultra sharp swords. how much restraint is bro (strider) showing? the fights ARE intended to be strengthening dave. but they dont. cus hes a kid and hes passive. im a sucker for bro strider i know he sucks but ugh i love dirk too much
mom lalondes lab drives me coocoo crazy. pov youre rose you go under your dead cats big ass mausoleum and find a laboratory your mother uses. theres 1 battery unlocked just for you. theres a giant ass monitor showing sburb sessions and meteors. did your mother know? did your mother know what was going to happen? youre thirteen years old. do you know? theres bright pink kiddy furniture. did your mother use it? when did she get it? it looks pristine. did she sleep in this when she was little? did she sleep in it as an adult? why would she buy herself such a thing at an adult age? youre rose lalonde. youre thirteen and full of hatred. you dont understand anything. you wear your mothers scarf and you pick up a stray mutant cat and name it after a drink your alcoholic mother loves. youre thirteen and full of hatred and you dont understand anything and you want to, so badly. so so badly.
jade is awesome her scampering through the house rocks. i wonder if she actually believes pa harley is talking to her, or if he actually is, or if shes just pretending. it has to be because of trauma, right? is she genuine? she has to be genuine. right? fosmf if you know anything about this let me know
jack noir... midnight crew.... oh how i cant wait for the intermission.
johns various mental breakdowns (over the discovery of his dads room; over betty crocker gushers; over the drawings over his posters) are insane. he lashes out so weirdly. dave said like john never gets mad or frustrated over real big stuff and he instead funnels it into tiny meaningless problems. i wonder what that means. im not into john enough to read into it or know
jade (and dirk by extension) waking up on prospit (or derse) early makes me thiiiink. i wonder if theyd get freaked by regular normal dreams. they god tier and sleep and wake up in a cold sweat Hello? Where am i. Hello? I just slept and nothing was there. Where am i
thinking about rose + jade a lot these first few acts. i looove rose and i looove jade. i focused on jade a lot the first time i read so im trying to focus on rose more because shes AWESOME! and i want to get to know her better. she deserves it. but anyway thats enough for today sorry for taking like a 12 day break lol

Edit: It's on AO3 now
Totori was still perched on Maru’s bed, but at least she had her underwear back on.
“Again, I’m so sorry for Maru’s behavior,” Kiruko pleaded. She and Maru kneeled in front of the bed with their heads lowered contritely. “He gets a little, ah, carried away sometimes.”
Maru stiffened at the implication. After the faux pas where he called for his “sis” to come watch while the cute proprietor of the hotel they were staying at tried to seduce him, though, he was loath to open his mouth any more than he had to.
Kiruko pressed on and explained what Maru’s power was and how the two of them had been operating as a monster hunter team. “So yeah, that’s basically it. I shoot ‘em, and while they’re stunned, Maru does his special touch and destroys the core that powers them. I swear, we have no idea why his powers triggered when he touched you. That’s never happened with a person before. We have absolutely no intention of being bad guests and bringing harm to you or your establishment.”
While Maru was just embarrassed for fumbling a girl so badly, Kiruko had much more practical concerns. Totori had probably sold them out to the bandits earlier. But when they had returned from the “safe water” trap, after killing the wild bear that had attacked and recovering the injured bandits, Totori had given them their stuff back and covered their tracks when the other bandits took away the wounded for treatment. Kiruko didn’t know if they’d be so lucky with another bandit encounter if the King of Hotels kicked them out of her hotel, especially since she had used all of her bullets on the bear.
Thankfully, Totori seemed more amused than anything. “It’s all fine,” she said. “No hard feelings. Although,” she said, glancing at Maru, “you never actually addressed my proposal.”
Maru blanched.
Totori laughed. “Fair enough, I’m sure you’re not in the mood anymore! However, I’m not too picky.” With that, she started eyeing Kiruko up and down.
This time Kiruko was the one with nothing to say. “We-ell, I mean, um…” she stammered out. She felt her cheeks redden as Maru shot her an absolute death-glare. It was one thing for him to botch his first time, but for Kiruko to claim the rebound right in front of him?
Kiruko hurriedly tried again. “Look you’ve been very nice but we’re here on professional business okay and I’m going back to my room now thank you good night!”
Kiruko backed out of Maru’s room as fast as the words tumbled out of her mouth. She could feel his glare boring a hole into her, and she knew she would never live that down. Totori’s giggling rang in her ears as she fled all the way back to her own room.
Kiruko threw her jacket over the chair and slumped into her hotel bed. Wrangling with a real-life bear wasn’t nearly as stressful as dealing with other people. First Maru coming onto her, getting caught, and now the hotel girl? Kiruko never wanted that kind of attention.
She took several deep breaths and tried to slow her racing heartbeat. She would never have actually said yes to the kid, right? Surely it was just a matter of being caught by surprise.
A couple of minutes passed, and then there was a quiet knock at the door. Kiruko’s breath caught in her throat. The door opened a crack, and Totori slipped inside.
“Hey.” At Kiruko’s deer-in-the-headlights expression at her intrusion, Totori looked for a place to sit down that wasn’t the bed. She found the chair and pushed the jacket to the side. As she did, Kiruko noticed that she had put the rest of her clothes back on, then kicked herself mentally when she realized she had been looking at that.
Totori continued. “Hey, I’m sorry about that. I mean, the offer technically stands, but really I was just trying to lighten the mood. I definitely didn’t mean to freak you out like that.”
Kiruko took another deep breath and steadied herself. “I meant what I said back there, or what I was trying to say. You’ve been very gracious with us, maybe more than you needed to be. And it’s not like you’re not cute!” Kiruko realized she was straying from the point and blushed. “Anyway, it’s not anything to do with you. I’m just not comfortable doing, well, that.”
“So it’s not just because I’m a girl?” Totori asked. She seemed a little more interested at that.
“We-ell, I wouldn’t say that.” They had already laid Maru’s secrets bare; no point holding her own back. She left out the grisly details, but briefly explained how she had once been a boy and was somehow now in his sister’s body. “And well, I liked girls before, so I don’t see why that would change.”
“Huh.” Totori looked thoughtful. “I believe you. But if it’s not because I’m a girl, and you did say I was cute…” She waggled her eyebrows and Kiruko blushed again. “So what’s your actual hang-up? Like I said, I want people to feel good, and you don’t seem to be feeling good about any of that.”
“It’s my sister’s body,” Kiruko emphasized. “I don’t know how I got here, and I don’t know what happened to her. I don’t know if she consented to this, because I certainly didn’t! But I’ve spent the last five years taking care of this body and being respectful of it, and I don’t want to do anything with it that Kiriko wouldn’t have been okay with.”
“Sex,” Totori said.
“Ye-yeah,” Kiruko responded. “It just doesn’t feel right to do it with my sister’s body.”
“Well, I don’t know if I agree with you, Kiruko. Isn’t it your body now? But I accept that you’re uncomfortable. Once you figure it out, though, come back and pay me a visit.” The King of Hotels patted her hand, gave her a wink, and left the room.
Kiruko rolled over and buried her face in her pillow.

Yandere vi headcanons please
Yandere Vi Headcanons
Tumblr media
•Vi is so strong. She can manhandle you at any time and could absolutely destroy your spine with ease but instead she’s just so sweet. She throws you over her shoulder when she’s playful or gives you piggyback rides when you don’t feel like walking. There’s something about a person who could crush you but chooses to be soft instead.
•The nicknames. Vi rarely says your actual name. It’s always baby or sweetie or honey, the only time she really uses your real name is when you’re in danger. Even when she upset with you she still uses some nickname just with a bit more malice then usual.
•She’s not talkative but she is a very good listener. You can talk to her about anything in the world no matter how insignificant or repetitive it might be and Vi will listen fully and hang onto your words like they’re made of gold. She could listen to you ramble and just hold you for the rest of her life.
•Honestly good luck getting a handle on Vi’s emotions. She’s either the most patient person in the world or even a certain tone can set her off but it’s never consistent. Something that set her off a week ago could be totally fine today or it could be the opposite. Her unstable feelings will certainly keep you on your toes.
•She’ll treat you like a toddler a lot of the time. If you try to do something and she doesn’t want you too then she’ll just take it out of your hands and hide it like you’re 5. She’ll force you to sit with her on the floor and just hold you until any ‘temper tantrums’ you have are over.
•Vi is not the most socially aware person. She’ll mention a blemish you were trying to hide as a matter of fact statement or make an off color joke and not realize that maybe she shouldn’t have. Just let her know what she did though and she’ll do her best to make up for it. If you don’t mention her social faux pas and just act upset instead then Vi will freak out and then everyone around her will be upset too.
•Vi’s easily jealous and has absolutely no patience for talking. She’s all bite and no bark so the second anyone is a little too nice to you or makes you upset then Vi’s giving them a serious beating. She’ll sit quietly while you scold her and patch up her bruised knuckles but you both know that she’s proud of herself for protecting you so well.

Uhh...
Tumblr media
Holy wow, that was fast.
But, uhm. Yeah, onto King Clawthorne, the Titan of Burger Queen!
Also, shoutout to @rainbowangel110 for giving me more info on the show and fandom as a whole:
Tumblr media
This isn't gonna be a "Oh my god, this character has pizazz" kinda thing, mostly because King doesn't wear much besides his collar, so this is gonna be more of an analysis of his character, and my personal thoughts on him.
Spoilers for the end of the show, by the way. If you haven't finished the show, I suggest you finish reading here!
...You're still here? Cool, just don't sue me if you get hit with the sledgehammer that is the show's endgame.
So firstly, I have to bring up something I realized a long time ago, and talked about in one of my first ever posts up here.
Tumblr media
King actually has a mouth. But, he never uses it to actually talk.
Something that someone mentioned to me, though, is fairly interesting about him. You know how some legendary Pokemon have a telepathy-like way of communicating with the humans in the anime/movies? That someone on Twitter(I can't remember the name for the life of me, but kudos to them) said that he might communicate that way, only really using his mouth to either eat or let out those hyper shouts of his.
This is actually a really interesting idea that I wish the animators actually played with more. As far as I'm aware, neither Luz or Eda do as much as acknowledge it, nevermind question him about it. Maybe it has something to do with him being a Titan since his pops does the same thing, but I dunno.
Which brings me to yet another topic about the fellow: He's a Titan. Now, I hear y'all saying, "Guy, no freaking crap he's a Titan! The entire fandom knows this, it's no longer just a theory! What's the point of stating the obvious?!"
Here's one thing that I thought about. In my post about Luz, I mentioned that I loved her Titan Form. Besides the very heartwarming references that are in her outfit, she gets improved magic, durability, and can create glyphs on the fly, along with the magic circles that everyone and their mother in the Boiling Isles have been doing already. I was really upset when I found out that she only got to use it once before Papa Titan's spirit faded away, making sure to steal Luz's cool new form from her as it did so.
Call me Alpharad with the way I'm theory-crafting, but hear me out. King is already tapping into his Titan powers(As he should. You go, little furball!), unlocking and even mastering his hyper shout. How long do you think it's gonna be until he taps into more of his abilities? From what we know, Titans are extremely powerful. A drop of their blood contain enough power to open holes between realms, even being able to make a sort of purgatory area, as shown in Vee's debut episode(Is there a specific name for that area? That was also really cool). At least, I'm sure it's Vee's debut episode it appears in.
This might be the Pokemon fanboy in me, but what if King and Luz managed to sync up to bring that form back? Something more akin to Battle Bond, maybe? Heck, even King himself could get some kind of glow-up.
Speaking of glow-ups...
Tumblr media
This... this is cool!
Don't get me wrong, I understand that King was in a state of distress as everything the show threw at him was finally too much to handle, and I do indeed feel bad for him. Very much so. But...
What.
The.
Heck?!
Lost Deity King, as I'm now dubbing him(Mostly because I don't know the form's real name), is what happens when you push a character too far. He's had enough, and wanted to snap Belos's neck for what he did to Luz, and Eda wanted to as well, but I'll get to her in the future. He wanted to kill him the same way Tsunami killed Gill(Wings of Fire reference, for those not aware).
...I really felt bad for him during this scene, though. Seriously. Excuse my language, but think about the absolute bullshit that King had to go through over the course of more-or-less eight years. He:
-Was basically abandoned at birth(I understand that Papa Titan had his own things going on, but he felt like he's been abandoned)
-Was convinced that he was the King of the Demons(Which isn't even a title, as far as I'm aware?) by the only thing he could even remotely call a parental figure
-Had to watch as his mother figure would turn into a dangerous owl monster basically on the weekly
-Was taken as a joke, a walking meme, for most if not all of his life(It sorta made sense for Eda and Luz, as they were family to him, and he knew it was just fun and games from them)
-Nearly died on several accounts, the most devastating of which(That I can remember) being nearly crushed in a magic cube because he did something as petty as refusing to write fanfiction due to burnout
-found out that his friend/sister TRAVELLED THROUGH TIME with his roommate/mother's sister(Who, might I add, TRIED TO KILL BOTH EDA AND LUZ on the SAME DAY, a few weeks ago) to look for the past version of someone that's actively hunting that same sister figure
-Was basically forced to team up with a potentially universe-ending being and be his plaything for about two or three days, watching those he loved being turned into puppets
-Was told that basically everything he believed about himself was an utter lie
Which, by the way, can I talk about that for a while? 'Cause this-
Tumblr media
Just this. I can still hear his voice in this scene.
"...Y-You're all just messing with me, like usual, right?"
"Oh no... no no no no no no!"
"No! Keep that thing away from me, it's messing with my head!" Poor guy didn't even want the remnant of his horn back.
I'm not one to cry at movies or TV shows. I'm not trying to sound tough or anything, I just can't really bring myself to do that. But, when I heard King hyperventilate as he began having a existensial crisis, I bawled my eyes out for him. This scene legitimately broke my heart.
All of this, and the worst part?
...King is still a child.
That's right. According to the wiki(Which is where I pull a lot of these images from), King is around eight years old, and he's twelve during the epilogue. Point being, he still in need of caring parents. Yes, Eda was there, but continuing to tell the lie that he was the Demon King(Again, not even a real title) was a bit of a low move for her. I forgive her for that, especially since it was with good intentions, but jeez lady.
Back to the list of messed-up things that King went through:
-Was separated from Luz and his three other new friends for like, a week, as they traveled to the human realm by force(Yes, he caused it, but it was because he literally had to)
-Basically got involved in the second Great Ninja War but if the ninjas were replaced by witches, and was considered a large estate of power
...Oh, and how could I possibly forget? King also had to...*checks notes*...
-LITERALLY WATCH AS HIS BEST FRIEND WAS CRUSHED UNDER BELOS'S FOOT-CLAW-THING, POSSESSED BY STUPID DISNEY "KILL MC" PLOT BS AND DISINTEGRATE INTO BALLS OF LIGHT!!
Yeah, no wonder why he completely flipped his shit in this scene! Wouldn't you?!
It's just that... King really went through a lot. Can someone give him a hug?
Like...
Tumblr media
How did we get from this, to... That thing?
I said that I loved the Lost Deity, but if it meant that his mental health could remain stable... I'm willing to live without it.
...Rant and tears aside, I really love King. He's just a lovable dog thing, while still being such a slippery little fella.
For example, someone made this piece of artwork of him, and it's been on my mind for quite some time.
Tumblr media
I know this isn't official art, but y'all can still admit that King didn't even have drip anymore... He was a whole fountain. I couldn't trace the image back a specific person, but I found it somewhere here, if you guys want to use it as a wallpaper!
(Also, I don't know why, but he gives such early 2010s energy in this photo.)
Y'all want more of adorable pics of King? Here ya go!
Tumblr media
Woo, work it! Yass, slay queen!
Real talk though, we can all agree that this guy is awesome, right? Just off of principle.
Overall, King is my favorite character in the show(Although, between you and me, it was sort of a close call when Titan Luz entered the field), and I just hope that life is nothing but uphill for him.
...He deserves it.

SUMMARY : Being a metalhead in Hawkins isn't always a good thing, and your lifelong rival has made that clear by sticking gum in your hair. But just when you thought you'd have to cut it all off, Eddie may come to your rescue.
Tumblr media
High School was hell. Actually, it was that annoying because of that bitch Lydia. She hated me for no real reason except that I was different from the others, clothing-wise. But I had never disrespected her, or even spoken to her. She just hated me because I was a freak. 
And today, she had found the worst possible crap that could be done to me. She must have stuck at least four or five pieces of gum in my hair that I cherished so much. By the time I realized it, it was too late. I immediately left the cafeteria without taking the time to finish my plate and ran to the bathroom hoping to save a few strands. 
But when I saw myself in the mirror, I couldn't hold back the tears. It was over for me, I was going to have to shave everything and end up completely bald. She had amused herself by placing them in such a way that they were spread everywhere so that I could not save anything. I hated her. And my anger quickly turned into sobs that I could not hold back. 
- Y/N? someone asked me outside the bathroom. 
Shit. Eddie. I hadn't said hello to him today, and he must have seen me running across the cafeteria without even giving him a smile; me who usually always came to chat with him at the Hellfire table after I finished my plate. 
- You good in there? he asked me. 
- Yes, everything is fine, I answered with a trembling voice that betrayed my tears. 
But I heard him enter the bathroom. I quickly wiped my eyes with the back of my sleeve, but I knew he wouldn't be fooled. He slowly approached me and gently took my face between his fingers.
- What happened darling? he asked me. 
- It's that bitch. It's stupid but- she stuck gum in my hair and- I started to explain before I started to cry again, I was pathetic.
I felt him take a few strands of hair and look at them. I didn't even want to imagine what he must be thinking right now. 
- Easy, I'll take care of it, he just said. 
- How?! At this point I'll have to cut everything! I'll end up bald! I cried with anger.
- I've been through this before, dummy. Do you really think they were going to make me cut my hair off because they stuck gum in it? he laughed.
I was confused. He grabbed my hand and led me into the kitchen. He explained the situation to one of the women working here and she returned a few moments later with a bowl of ice cubes. I didn't know what we were going to use it for, but apparently Eddie knew what he was doing, so I trusted him. Nothing worse could happen anyway. I then saw him take a cube and place it on my hair where the gum was. And after a little while, it came off without any difficulty. I couldn't believe it, and I was grateful to him for getting me out of that situation with dignity. 
After a good 15 minutes, he was done, and my hair looked as good as it did before. 
- And we're done, he said with a proud voice. 
- You know that I am eternally in debt to you now? I said.
- It's nothing, I'm used to doing that, he replied with a small voice.
- Really? I asked him with sadness. 
- What can I say? The important thing is that your hair is saved, he said to change the subject. Now, show me that Lydia so I can deal with her. 
- No, it will be fine, I promise, I begged him.
He agreed without a second thought, but I could see in his eyes that he would still find a way to get his revenge, he was Eddie, I couldn't change him. Just then, the bell rang, a sign for us to return to class. But just before we did, I stood on my tiptoes and placed a brief kiss on his cheek in thanks. 
----
By the end of our class day, he had convinced me to get revenge. He assured me that he would not do anything illegal, but that she had to pay for what she had done to me. I wasn't completely against it, although I felt some remorse for putting her through whatever torture Eddie had invented. And let's just say that with DnD, he had many ideas. And when he explained his evil plan to me, I was almost afraid. 
He had gathered the entire Hellfire Club to put it all together. Lydia had a fairly precise routine. On her way out of class, she would always stop by the basketball court to chat with a player she particularly liked. And that was the perfect place to set up the plan. 
They had managed by who knows what ways to get their hands on a jar of white glue, the kind that went off easily with water when it was on your skin, but took years when it was in your hair. 
And they planned to empty it on her when she was in the right place, which was right next to the locker room because they could hide behind a small wall without being seen. 
These boys were evil, but I was beginning to appreciate how things were going to work out. Eddie and I were a little out of the way so we could get a good view of the scene.
And when it happened, I felt my heart fill with satisfaction. She deserved to pay the ultimate price for what she had put me through for months. I looked at Eddie with a mischievous little smile, and he kissed me on my forehead. He then grabbed my hand and we ran off to avoid being seen.
Karma was a bitch.

Fourthwonton freaks out over the Our Skyy x Bad buddy episode 1 (real)
Squealed at the very first sec of the preview(I don’t rewatch my top shows so it's quite helpful)(and I got the feels)
The preview really reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this world
Ugh great (rolls eyes) Wai’s back yaayyyyy
Drake is really good at playing himbo
Wait… are Wai and Korn continuing the feud’s legacy?
Really a great start… the whole show began when Wai was cornered so it’s fitting that the special episodes start with the feud too
The staredown lol rofl…. The BGMI can’t
Right off the gate with the expectation subversion I can’t with P’Aof
The students really need group projects to hold them off from fighting
Why is Korn praying like Pat and Pran have died? Or is this P’Aof poking fun at all the romeo and romeo clown theories?
Prom really is accurate with the tea huh
Lol WaiKorn trying their best to get them all off the right track
Going off the track but damn Ohm’s eyes really shine at 5:06
They’re back at it lol just riling each other up
Never knew bickering could be foreplay but here we are
Lmao the stark difference between on screen and behind the scenes(hah get it)
I could swim in nanon’s eyes(swoons)
Aaa dimples is back
Neck cradle seemed like a chokehold lol well, Pran does have Pat in his chokehold
I’m so glad that the curtain drop has been redeemed
I freaking lost it when the intro started to play
I love the parallel so much! In ep 1, when pat punches Pran and he gets a bruise for which he gave him a balm. Now, it’s Pran who punched Pat and he’s the one icing the bruise. Ok guess I began rambling
The “I told you to punch me on one cheek and you punched me on the other” never gets old
Also pa knocking the door when they’re getting up to something is always funny
And she has got not even a shred of remorse for that XD
INKPA!!!!!!!!!!!!
A brother always has to be annoying to his sister. HIA PAAAAAAAN is so hilarious
I love the found family dynamic of theirs. They’re getting dinner together! Ahh it reminds me of ep 9
Feeding shrimp to your loved one is always a win
Love Pa teasing them
And Ex-macho man Pat calling himself Nong is so funny
The moment Ink advised them to find a neutral party to help them decide was when I felt sorry for Ajarn Pichai
We really need more than crumbs!
Give me more InkPa!!!!!!!!
Is he doing a counting-out game to decide? What’s next, a game of rock paper scissors or an arm-wrestling battle between Pran and Pat?
I choked on my coffee when Pat said that Korn will play a dwarf
Ooh they have to get a sponsorship (evil Gru laugh)
Ooh Pat is sneaky
“Phuen khab? Phuen” and “Khab, Phuen”, very un-subtle title drop right here
Pran still has his high-school photo for his id
And we’re back with the crowded elevator(love everything about it)
I forgot that Pat’s sense of smell is as good as a golden retriver’s
Another rendition of just friend!
I don’t understand if Pran is trying to encourage Pat or scare him more
Also did he just say dog Pat?
I love their faculty pride
I knew something was going to go wrong when Korn mentioned downloading the porn
I snorted out loud at this scene
Damn Pran was really dying holding his laughter
Loved the lesson on perspectives.
I love the parallel to when Pat helped Pran visualize the bus stop
Aah Secret’s back
Nanon looks angelic at 13:09 part 2
Pat really be there convincing Pran for a honeymoon
Wait, Tian wrote a book?
The fistbump’s back aaaaaa
Pat really is a hopeless romantic. So sappy!
The fairy lights OwO
They really said me gustas tu
Pran really looks at Pat like he’s his world T_T
Fierce eyes became puppy dog eyes
Why do they have so many close kisses ughh
NONG NAO SLEEP MASKS!!!!!!! Soon available at GMMTV Shop pre-order yours now
Architecture students may plan an attack on me, but only elevators can bring me down
Poor Pran promoting skincare alone T_T get back here Pat!
Damn! Another eavesdropping misunderstanding? Please subvert this trope P’Aof T_T
Really subverted it in a moment thank lord Aof
Pran’s gone into plotting mode huh, I already feel sorry for Pat
He really saved Pran as Dimples such a sap
Why the fuck was Wai in there? XD they really traumatized each other
Really ran off to Chiang Mai to serve Pat a good bowl of lukewarm revenge
Really loving Pran’s fit again
Getting onto the wrong bus is so like Pat
No wait
I take it back
Making Pat get onto the wrong bus is so like Pran
Ohh Champ’s here!
Not the best thing to say in such a light-hearted tone, Yod. Pran’s already nervous about this
Pran really grabbed a walking cane off a fence XD
This is really the most crossover to ever crossover
Love the piano when Chief Phu turns
Did the sturdy looking Chief just faint?
Did Pran just shoo away Tian?XD
OMG Nanon’s just killing it with his eyes
The preview’s giving me life
Did the boys just strike up a fight between Phupha and Tian? And took it upon themselves to make them make up?
The top-notch face down is so funny
The way I cried all this time damn I missed this world

Japanese high school AU and Humanformers AU smashed together.
Mainly cause they are both as is but just about being humans. The only difference with JHA Au is that the girls and pa just moved to Japan.
read here
Again, things are not in order, so most of the information may not make sense in the first read.
~ Suni, after high school grad, enlisted in the military.
Zelda (Phantasma) went to community college for social science and anthropology- for a social worker or anthropologist job.
Mainly because she deeply realizes she lacks self-confidence and, of course, free traveling before enrolling in college to work as a Public Safety Dispatcher.
She will remain a mechanic when she gets out after four years in service.
Flow has many degrees in performance arts, fashion design, and, of course, many in STEM.
~ When finally out of service, Suni can return to dressing to her true self: Goth.
She chopped her hair short and messy after having it long to pull it back into a clean ponytail to a bun for four years. Ditching most of the military clothes save for a few for memento purposes.
Even got her tattoos at 23 as a birthday gift.
~ Suni got Ptsd.
She had it before she enlisted- it just made it more apparent.
Zelda has a deep fear of needles/ being stabbed, especially after an indecent that led to a scar on the back of her neck.
~ Suni had two internal joint prostheses: shoulder-joint replacement and reverse total shoulder replacement on the left side.
It's her fault for that to happen- repeat injuries for her during her time in the active military- she learned her season after getting those implants.
~ Taking a cue from Tokyo tours from King Kogi. The favorite part the twins adore to visit is the back routes of Shibuya Stream and Daikanyama.
~ Unpopular food takes in Japan: Zelda finds Yuzu tastes like if one accidentally smells and inhales the lemon pledge, she misses the Panda Express in the States. The one in Shibuya could be better.
Away from the famous Shibuya scramble, sustained in grungy construction, the street stickers all over, the overpasses and bridges.
The freaking pizza by the slice is just a small comfort of their old home in the States.
Suni does not like Okonomiyaki/ Takoyaki as much as the average person- it's with all the sauce; mayo and bonito are just too much for her.
While Zelda prefers Udon over ramen but will still eat it… Suni likes instant ramen over the real stuff.
Flow does not like mochi textures- too mushy for her.
~ Zelda's favorite manga series is Nichijou. Suni's is Full Metal Alchemist. Flow's is Kageki Shojo!
~ I want to talk about Flow's and Suni's relationship.
It is precious.
Please.
Let me write about Flow going on her first trip to Japan to meet her pen pal in person for the first time and bring her Aunty Eartha with her or her mommies. Let there be a new side of Suni- excited to meet someone. Someone around her age- full-on trusting Flow to be her best friend.
Having the most normal queer platonic friendship despite them not fully understanding that.
Like it is so sweet, even feist-snarking Zelda would not help but smile and be slightly at ease. Because Flow may be intelligent but also not- she's making her baby sister happy with no strings attached.
~ Aside from what happened to the twins at middle school. Yes, it was terrible, but that horrible taste wouldn't fully explain everything about their behavior.
The walls around them when socializing. They're used to the long hours Fidel (Like OMG, I forgot his name until seeing that old post) working and being home alone- but they still care about Fidel and fully respect him.
But clearly able to function with independence in doing chores and stuff, aside from financial freedom and proper mental health- Papa Fid is teaching them that.
Their lives before meeting Fidel were depressing.
They do not know their biological father- they (the twins) never spare a thought. And their birth mother wasn't horrible but clearly not a good person or mother: mediocre.
They don't know of their other relatives, let alone if their mother is the only one alive or was cut off.
Fidel recently moved into their apartment complex (closer to his place of work) when the twins were in mid-late elementary.
Fidel noticed a little early on something strange about these two girls sitting outside one door. No one was letting them in or was too upset to say inside after learning from passive conversations with the neighbors and noticing some suspect visitors to the apartment. He contacted the girls and spoke to them.
They don't trust him at first- feeling like he's like the other people going into their house. Zelda even threw a shoe at him while standing in front of Suni.
Eventually, Fidel's patience and offer of letting them stay in a warm apartment with food eased the two, putting away their distrust and turning him into their sitter. Fidelis never got to fully meet their mother, only glimpses.
How did Fidel become their guardian?
Oh- their mother got murdered.
Fidel fought tooth and nail to get the girls under his custody.
~ For Rai @askburningpassion​. Hear me out. It's not part of the long-reaching plan of Rai's true bio papa, but it would be funny if one of his goons got beaten up by Suni/ Zelda, but they couldn't report it as they've got beaten up by a bunch of high schoolers. The embarrassment. The same for Rai's mom's ex-gang members.
(Timeline Fidel was just about to win the fight for adopting the girls and setting up to move the three of them to Japan when those sad excuses of friends threw Suni under the bus. And they know the twin's mom got murked.)
Talking about their time before meeting Fidel is a loaded situation for the twins. Either it comes out so blunt with honesty the listener is too aghast or answers with ominous silence. It's best to talk to Fidel about the past.
Fidel may not know or realize, but he saved a higher-ranked Decepticon in the day, so they're waiting to return the favor.
Because this part was talked about in the DMS and from a past thread, it is more or less about Rai as the girls get older.
It's messy.
With the murder of the parents, the kidnap of the poor child, and Riki being forced to leave for a family friend. And I know how Rai might be kidnapped by a rival ninja clan, and the two girls and Riki are worried sick for her.
Suni went as far as invading the Decepticon base and beating almost everyone in a rampage to find answers.
And once the bittersweet reunion happens, and Rai gets some revenge...
Rai and Zelda would watch in the distance as a suitor approached Suni-- murder wouldn't be involved.
~ Given all the information I gave about Suni's and Zelda's past, I'm tempted to make a scene:
~ Rai would be perplexed with Flow. At first, she'll be worried that she's like those girls chasing her older brother or worse, those mean ones. But seeing her in person, she looks like a fairy.
And again very much like the twins when talking with her brother. She later learned while yeah Flow found him cute she kept her distance. Suni wrote about him to her, she first thought it was hyperbole of his distasteful love life until she witnessed the mobs of lovesick girls.
The albino would be very concerned about his mental health about that.
Also, Rai would be Flow's little model as the fashion princess gave her cute little outfits and accessories. Same with Rai's and Riki's mom.
Those ex-friends of Suni essentially betrayed her trust and left her under the bus until she moved out of the States because they were jealous she was a rising star in the wrestling team instead of them.
Years later, without contact, Suni would have blocked all contact information with them.
She told them she gave up the sport because it associated so much pain of being abandoned by people the girl would have thought she could trust before marching out of the area.
News for some international school competitions whisps around, but it puts Suni in a grouchy mood and blocks it out. And she (mutual peeps) and Zelda accidentally meet up with Suni's old wrestler team coach.
Suni wants nothing to do with them and tries to leave the area while the former couch (not aware of Suni's distress) tries to stop her, apologizing for their part and wishing her luck for the competition only for Suni to snap at them.
~ @braveggg-hq Out of the twins, depending on which brave member you've asked, you'll get a different response on who is the scariest Visser twin.
We got Suni. Despite being an introverted string bean who loves to garden and fix up cars, she will react like a vengeful spirit when forced to fight... 
Then there is Zelda.
Of course, the group would be delighted to hang out with the twins with some unique visits from their father.
She keeps getting into places she should not be allowed and the information she obtained. Making the person she wants to mess with annoyed, angry, or legit cornered.
However, the ninjas found a way to stop her grubby hands on any dangerous information and the AIs' big secret:
Vanilla Wafer.
The golden-eyed little shit's cursed long Furby. Kidnap the cretin and bargain with the sassy teen whenever they need her to back off.
But will they feel a little guilty?
They couldn't get too close to the girls and their father- the Braves have far too many secrets about their true nature. But if they do tell them all they can about themselves --it'll be unfair to let these people lose their everyday lives and get involved with crime and E.T. threats.
And that is way before learning that the twins went through shit because of underhandedness- the reason Suni had a hard time trusting her peers in her school. At the same time, Zelda generally is hostile, if not bombastic, to almost everyone- even more so if her baby sister is involved.
The guilt will grow.
And then those who want to get closer to one of the twins.
Duke- not a human but a disguised one- Suni, an actual human.
Suni needs to learn about Duke's or the rest's big secrets of them being robots. Duke is developing a crush on Suni; he'll be devastated because she's outside the group of humans that knows the many secrets of the B.P.- GGG braves.
He is scared that if she finds out, she'll hate him and never want to see him and the others again. 
Can you imagine the scenario of seeing something terrible happen to Suni that puts Duke in a tight spot?
He can't get out into his proper form in front of her.
People briefly go their separate ways after high school.
And running away would make things worse, against his code to help people. Or be trapped in his human disguise and forced to watch Suni get hurt or die before his eyes.
Or
It happens.
The braves got a call from 110 (911 for Japan) of someone getting stabbed by a suspect they were looking for-- and the person who got stabbed was Zelda.
Duke didn't confess his feelings as Suni went to enlist, and Zelda was busy with college.
The Braves are doing their own thing, too. So they never had a chance to be together, let alone contact.
For years, the group being together was just a part of life that came and went... but what if not?
It was a reunion they didn't want to happen like this.
Zelda survived, but at that very moment, everyone thought she was not lucky when she was in intensive care.
~ Also, @bladedalchemistreplica, I don't have all the details but hear me out: a combo of this au and your new environment au.
To start, teen Ozar is somehow on Earth. It was a brief time- he is baffled about meeting Flow, maybe saving her from some unsavory group.
Eventually, he returns to his place-- Flow writing about her bizarre adventure to her confused pen pal Suni. While teeny, Ozar told Olia and Te-osh that an angel or an Altean hybrid helped him. It would only lead to something once they're adults. (cause time dilation, y'all )
Or some Blade sees the teens' father and says, "Yeah, I want that (courting)."

ok properly this time. 1, 2, 14 for signalis!
what originally drew me to it
so there are like, half a dozen distinct things that qualify signalis as My Exact Shit (amongst them being that i played a ton of survival horror last year and got really deep into the genre). altho what shifted it from "something cool on my wishlist that i'll get to eventually" to "i need to play this Right Fucking Now" was @evsyrevenge asking me if i'd played it in light of the short story i posted here. like, i hadn't, but if pas de deux reminded someone of signalis then i had to find out what they meant by that
2. what i most and least like about it
joke answer: my favourite thing about signalis is that the visual riffs from the monogatari are in a good piece of media now
real answer: i think probably the melancholy of it. after first finishing the game i felt kind of crushed by how, like, despite this being a game about grief and trauma there isn't anywhere for elster to move forward to. i've come to like that element a lot more in light of certain things i failed to figure out during that initial playthrough, though... for better or worse, it's something that's remained with me
or maybe the constant intertextuality? that's more of an intellectual pleasure, but keeping notes on all the references being made to literature and games and paintings, and going away to experience the ones i was unfamiliar with so i could approach the game with a better understanding of what it was gesturing towards, was really enriching.
as for what i least like: it's so fucked up that the flashlight module takes up an inventory slot. they shouldn't have done that. it's evil. also the sameface aspect of the art is... narratively justified to some extent but is also still a stylistic weakness in how the game draws women
14. the character/story arc I find the most compelling
i want to say elster, but that seems very obvious, given that she's the protagonist... i find depictions of love as a corruptive force very compelling. i like that, in every ending except promise, elster's love destroys everything. the world, everybody in it, even ariane herself, it's all ploughed under and annihilated by elster's love. the lily ending is the most heightened form of this, it's so tragic as to be sickening. if not for heather mason i think elster would be my favourite survival horror protagonist by a very wide margin.
i also really really like adler. i don't know if i'll get another ask about this game where i can talk about adler but i enjoy that freak very much

Okay!! I swear tomorrow is the day I get caught up skldjfdslf I officially have no more commitments, no uni work, nothing but writing from here on out (I hope anyway kljdfkgd) 🥰💖
Also on AO3!!!
DAY NINETEEN: SACRIFICE
Beca was trying to figure out how she’d gotten here. This sort of thing happened in bad horror movies, it wasn’t a real thing, and yet here she was tied spread eagle to a table, duct tape over her mouth, a group of hooded figures huddled around her chanting it Latin. Seriously, what was happening to her?
It wasn’t like the group of hooded figures were strangers to her, it was those god damn Treble Makers. Aubrey had been right, they were ding dongs... especially Jesse, freaking Jesse who had drugged her and knocked her out when he’d offered her a ride back to her dorm after their late shift at the radio. God she was going to kill him when she got free.
Beca pulled at the ropes she was tied down with again, looking for the slightest bit of give but all she succeeded in doing was chaffing her wrists more, trying not to show the pain on her face as they started to bleed from the force of her struggling. No way in hell was she going to let these assholes see any amount of emotion from her beyond anger. Because yes, Beca was confused and in pain and terrified, but no way would they know any of that.
“Alright boys, you know the drill.” Bumper smirked as the chanting stopped, eyeing Beca who glared hatefully back at him, “Everybody lets a little blood but as captain I get the final blow. Gotta secure our win again this year, make history as the first acapella team to win six consecutive ICCA titles in a row!”
Beca’s nostrils flared as she struggled even harder. They weren’t actually going to kill her right? That was insane, there was no way they’d kill her, certainly no way they’d gotten away with it for the last five years, girls didn’t just go missing and no-one noticed... 
Right?
Beca started as her feet began to move upwards, a whirring noise filling the uncomfortably silent room as the table tilted her so that the top of her head was a mere inch and a half from the floor. Try as she might to contain her fear, Beca’s breathing became shallower as her eyes darted around her, catching sight of numerous glinting and sharp blades. No fucking way. This was a really bad dream, nothing more. Any second now Beca was going to wake up to find Kimmy-Jin glaring at her for the audacity of having a nightmare in her vicinity. 
“Jesse gets first cut, he’s the one that brought us this hot piece of ass.”
Beca snarled as her head started to spin a little from the blood rushing to it, glowering at the upside down form of the guy she had once called a friend and was now severely regretting that decision. 
“Sorry Becaw.” He shrugged, grinning toothily as Beca’s eyes fixed on the sharp knife in his hand, “Bros before hoes.”
Beca growled something intelligible from behind the tape as she struggled as hard as she could, tugging and yanking at the rope. No way. She couldn’t let them do this. Someone would come looking for her any minute, someone would know she was here and they’d rescue her. Sure, she wasn’t really close to her dad, Kimmy-Jin actively hated her, and she was fairly certain that the Bellas who did like her still wouldn’t really notice if she was gone but... someone had to notice. They had to.
Beca grit her teeth as she felt the blade press into her arm, determined not to show she was in pain as the pressure increased. Jesse dragged the knife slowly down her arm, Beca’s toes curling inside her boots as she felt it tear her skin, panting a little as blood began to trickle down her arm.
When Jesse stepped back, Beca’s eyes flicking to the long, deep wound that stretched from inside her elbow to just below the tattoo that read “c’est ne pas moi”. It burned as Beca continued to struggle, albeit less furiously than before as she pushed back at the tears starting to well in the corner of her eyes. These assholes weren’t going to make her cry on top of everything else. 
She could do this, she just had to hold until someone came to get her. Because someone had to be coming to get her, there had to be someone in her life that cared enough to come and find her. She was supposed to be at rehearsal tonight, Aubrey had called a last minute practice before the qualifiers next week, they’d see she wasn’t there... 
But she had complained bitterly about it... what if they thought she’d just blow the Bellas off? That she had just bailed on them, would they even think to see why she hadn’t turned up? God... that was why they’d picked her, nobody was going to look for her were they?
No. 
She couldn’t afford to spiral like this. If she spiraled then she’d stop fighting, and if she stopped fighting, she was dead for sure.
Beca watched as another Treble stepped forward, feeling lightheaded and woozy as the blood from her wound ran down her hand and more of it rushed to her head. Fuck... she was going to pass out before they were finished, she couldn’t pass out because then she couldn’t fight them, she couldn’t survive this if she did.
A soft grunt was muted by the tape over her mouth as Beca felt a knife dig into her other arm, slicing straight down as it split her praying mantis tattoo in half. Dammit. She liked that one. Trebles and blades continued to switch out, Beca no longer able to hold back her tears or her muffled cries of pain as each new cut broke down her resolve. 
By the time they had finished, each of them making two cuts, Beca was breathing heavily, blood running down her body from the numerous cuts that now littered her arms, her chest, her legs, and the most vicious one of all across her stomach from hip to hip, left by Bumper and had caused an audible shriek from Beca as his knife cut through several layers of skin.
The table moved back into its original position, Beca shaking and weak as she lay limp on the unforgiving surface. No-one was coming to find her, she was going to die here, alone and in agony, a victim of whatever sick and twisted idea they had that would somehow help them win the ICCA’s. It was a goddamn acapella competition, it wasn’t worth her life.
The tape was ripped from her mouth, Beca grunting as it was and glaring at Bumper from under hooded lids.
“Any last words bitch?” He sneered, Beca dull with pain and defeat.
“Fuck you.” She spat, “You won’t get away with this asshole, you’ll rot in prison for the rest of your miserable life for this. I’m sure some big guy is gonna love making you his bitch.”
Bumper simply laughed at her, shaking his head before nodding to Jesse. Beca watched him step forward with a blindfold in hand, struggling weakly as he tied it tightly around her head. Oh now they were blindfolding her?! Now they were going to kill her, she wasn’t allowed to see them do it, she couldn’t make them look her in the eye as they murdered her? 
Beca felt the tip of a blade press against her chest, hands balling into fists as she pursed her lips together. Fuck. FUCK. This was it, this was how she was going out. God she really shouldn’t have come to Barden, she should have ignored her parents and gone to L.A. anyway. She was half expecting her life to flash before her eyes but the only thing in her minds eye were flashes of brilliant red hair and impossibly blue eyes, of easy smiles and soul warming giggles. 
Chloe... 
God she should have taken a shot with her. Talk about death bed regrets.
“Just do it asshole.” She snarled, the tip of the blade still resting on her chest, “Just do it! You’re a coward, you can’t even look me in the eye while you do it, if you’re going to kill me then just get on with it!”
The tip moved and Beca braced herself for the swing that would end her life. But as she did, Beca heard yelling and thudding. What the hell was going on? The ropes around her wrists suddenly gave way, her ankles freed too as the blindfold was gently lifted from her eyes, Beca looking up at the stranger in the bulletproof vest who was smiling kindly at her.
“Hey. You’re okay now. I’m Detective Williams, those punks really did a number on you huh?”
Beca managed a snort as her eyelids fluttered shut, the reality of the blood loss and her injuries beginning to settle in her body. A gentle shake to her shoulder stirred her again as Beca tried to focus herself on the detective and what she was saying to her.
“C’mon Beca, stay with me. That’s it. We’re going to get you to the hospital but until then you just need to stay awake okay?”
“Okay...” Beca mumbled, barely audible, “H-how did you find me?”
“You have a very persistent group of friends.” Detective Williams chuckled fondly as two paramedics joined them, “The blonde one, Aubrey? She came to us with a file an inch thick about girls that had gone missing around this time every year. We might recruit her once she’s finished college, she’d make quite the investigator.”
“A-Aubrey?” Beca frowned slightly, “I thought she hated me...”
“No-one who works that hard to get us to listen and save your life could hate you.” Detective Williams raised an eyebrow, “They’re clearly very fond of you Beca. Especially the redhead.”
“Chloe...” A small smile tugged at Beca’s lips before she winced as one of the paramedics pressed a dressing to the deep wound on her stomach, “I- I- can I see her? Is she here?”
“Once we get you into the ambo you can.” The detective promised, “She’s outside, but I want to preserve the scene. Is she your girlfriend or something?”
Beca snorted again, “I wish...”
“Well for what it’s worth...” Detective Williams beamed at Beca, giving her hand a gentle squeeze as a soft whimper left Beca’s lips as the paramedics continued to put dressings on the painful wounds all over her, “I think she likes you too. No-one gives a vic description like she did if you’re not at least a little in love with them.”
Beca laughed softly, wincing as she did. She felt so heavy, so weak... but it was okay. Someone had come to rescue her, she didn’t have to be strong anymore. Beca could just rest now.
“Hey, Beca... just a little longer now, c’mon.”
Beca blinked slowly as she felt herself be lifted onto a stretcher, an oxygen mask slipped over her face as the detective kept pace with the now moving gurney.
“Chloe’s just outside that door, she’s dying to see you. Stay awake for her huh?”
Beca nodded a little, trying to keep her mind clear as she looked around her. This was a really ugly house...
“Becs?!” Beca’s head turned to the left as the cold night air hit her, stirring her a little as her eyes found Chloe’s, “Oh my God!”
“Chlo...” Beca frowned as she realised the mask was hiding what little could be heard of her voice, but as she raised her hand to move it, it was gently moved away.
“You need to keep that on Beca.” One of the paramedics smiled softly at her, “Chloe can come with you to the hospital though if you want?”
Beca nodded, ignoring the pain that shot up her arm as she reached for Chloe’s hand. Chloe grasped it tightly as she climbed into the back of the ambulance with her, tears in her eyes as they roamed over Beca.
“Oh Beca... what did they do to you?” Chloe whispered, “I got them to come as quick as I could, I promise I did. I’m so sorry...”
Beca shook her head, frowning a little as she squeezed Chloe’s hand, “Not your fault weirdo...”
“Are you in pain?” Chloe asked, “Can you give her something?”
“That’s what I’m doing now.” The paramedic in the back with them reassured Chloe a little, “This is going to make you feel better Beca, but also really tired. I need you to try and stay awake though, okay?”
Beca nodded a little, her eyes locked with Chloe’s as she felt a warm, fuzzy feeling spread across her body, replacing the pain. Oh... there was the exhaustion... god it was so heavy, so welcoming... she’d had such a long day...
“Becs?!” Chloe’s hand gripped hers tighter, “Hey, come on, they said you had to stay awake, we’re almost there, you can do this!”
“S-sorry...” Beca mumbled, the world fading away as she heard Chloe calling her name again.
-----
It was with a soft groan that Beca regained consciousness, vaguely aware of the pain she was in as she shifted a little, heavy eyelids fluttering open.
“Hey Beca.”
A familiar voice filtered through the fog in her head as Beca turned it to find Aubrey smiling softly at her.
“Welcome back. How’re you feeling?”
“Aubrey?” Beca mumbled, face creasing in confusion, “Am I dead?”
“No.” Aubrey chuckled, reaching out to give her hand a soft squeeze, “No you’re way too stubborn for that.”
“I thought you hated me...” Beca swallowed thickly, a smirk tugging at her lips, “But you lovvvve me, don’t deny it Posen. You’re sitting by my hospital bed, looking all worried...”
“That morphine’s pretty good huh?” Aubrey raised her eyebrow, “For the record, I never hated you Beca. Sure, you annoy the crap out of me most days, but you’re a Bella, which makes you my sister. No way I’d ever let those ding dongs do anything to you and get away with it.”
“Thanks Aubrey.” Beca’s smile was a watery one, uncharacteristic tears running down her cheeks, “You saved my life dude, Bumper he- he was about to kill me when those cops burst through the door...”
“Hey.” Aubrey was holding back her own tears as she shook her head a little, “No way I was going to let that happen. Even if I’d have had to kick their asses myself.”
Beca giggled at this, “I’d pay good money to see that... where um... where’s Chloe?”
Aubrey’s face broke into a knowing smile, “I sent her home a few hours ago to shower and sleep. You’ve been out for nearly two days and she hasn’t left your side since.”
“Really?” Beca grinned.
“Beca!” 
Beca grunted softly as a weight landed on top of her, Chloe’s face buried in her neck as she hugged her tightly. Aubrey suppressed a chuckle as she got up, waving her fingers at Beca as she left them alone.
“Chlo... many injuries that hurt when you squeeze them...” Beca’s voice was tight as Chloe sprang away, tears running freely as she gasped.
“Oh god, I’m so sorry!” There was guilt in every line of her expression as she got off the bed, settling for holding Beca’s hand in hers instead, “I just- I’m so glad you’re okay, I was so worried about you, you were really hurt...”
“I’m okay.” Beca smiled softly at her, “Morphine helps with that, but I’m okay.”
Chloe grinned as she giggled softly, pressing her cheek against Beca’s hand.
“I really am glad you’re okay Becs.” She whispered, “I was really scared for a second there.”
“Me too.” Beca pursed her lips a little, “I really thought I was going to die Chloe... I fought like hell but it wasn’t enough, I couldn’t-”
“Hey, hey...” Chloe’s brow furrowed as Beca started to sob softly, gently running her fingers through her hair, “You’re okay. You’re safe now. A little cut up sure, but nothing that won’t heal eventually. And hey, you’ll have some badass scars out of it too...”
Beca scoffed slightly through her tears, “You like scars huh?”
“I like you.” Chloe squeezed Beca’s hand, smiling warmly at her, “ A lot Beca. When I thought I’d never see you again I... I couldn’t bear it.”
“I like you too.” Beca grinned, “I might be on a morphine high right now, but I really really do Chloe. I want to kiss you so bad...”
Chloe giggled as she leant forward, nose brushing against Beca’s, “Well then kiss me weirdo.”
